[Q] Choose phonebook source? - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all. I can't seem to find where to set the default address book to pull up when using the phone app. All I see is all contacts at the top which is definitely not what I want. Thanks!

Go to the people app, on the bottom right tap on the 3 dots and you will see an option to choose which contacts are displayed.
Hope this helps.

[REQUEST] Dialer app

Is there any dialer app which resembles the SE 2.1 dialer app (with dialer, call log, contacts and favourites, and allows to add new contacts directly, etc)?
I have just found Youlu. Looks nice. Any other ideas?
I am using "Dialer One" and it is good.
youlu address book......it's the besttttttttttttt
I installed youlu yesterday and today have deleted all other phonebook/dialer/calllog applications. Youlu no doubt is excellent and has a cool widget too.
I also like the youlu dialer, but there is one problem.
Because I wanted to fix my lowres contact pictures, I have linked all pictures to my facebook account and until now I have not found any app that can show these pics.
I don't want to change the pictures for +200 contacts again to use this app.
Is there anyone who has found a different dialer app that can show the facebook pictures ?

I'm enjoying Youlu too. However, I have a problem. When I dial a number ou select a contact in it, it opens SE blue background dialer. Should it be like that?

You can set the facebook pictures directly to your contacts with syncmypix. Then every phonebook will show them. The app also has a high res setting.

No, it shouldn't be like that.
Delete the defaults for Youlu (in Settings->Applications->Management) and repeat the action, when prompted select Youlu as default.

I tried, but didn't work. Any clue? My x10 is a 2.1 version...Keep using the low resolution picture when I dialed a number, I didn't have the same problem back in 1.6

Uninstalled, reinstalled, but there was no option to choose it as default... Did I miss anything?
Being old skool, i'd like a answer/ reject button not a slider like on stock 2.1. Is there a way of doing this. I currently run Dialer One and its awesome, just not the answer slide bar...

2.1 dialer is the best, I really don't understand why they abandoned it.

how do you sort your contacts by last names first?

it seems by default G2x sorts my contacts by first names. I prefer the way iphone does that letting me choose how to sort contacts and display them. is there any easy way to change this setting?
I don't own a g2x yet.. but on my vibrant you just need to go to contacts page and press menu button. display options -> sort list by: last name

[Q] Bottom menu icon replacement

Does anybody know how to change the apps in the bottom menu? I dont use that standard email app and prefer to use the gmail app but cant figure out how to make changes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Go to applications -> menu button (first one from left of four lightup on bottom of your phone)-> edit. Now you can move icons from bottom menu

Hit the Application button, then Menu. Hit View Type and select Customizable Grid. Then hit Menu again and select Edit. You can now change the dock icons to whatever you want.

Ah great thanks so much. Worked perfectly.
Wow nice. Found this topic on accident but I am really glad I did.
I didn't know you could move your bottom apps around.

Im not looking to clear history im just wondering where internet history is located. Im looking for a internet link I looked at a few days ago.
If you were logged into your google account for say google bookmarks.. Take your Brower to google.com.. At the top left click your icon. Click next to your name in the pop up next to profile that says Privacy .. It will show all sites and internet activity ..
You will be surprised at what they collect from you unless you been there and edited the settings.
Good Luck
OOPS TOP RIGHT ... GRRRR

Very simple:
Click on bookmarks
On the bookmarkspage you have on top of page a selection called History
Click on History and it will show you all visited links
Don't look for the file folder too complicated, when you have everything in front of you with one click

bring up your browser then at the top right click on the little icon with the star in it. Its jist to the right of the magnifying glass.
An even better and easier way I'd to long press the "back button" in the app, the one at the status bar that looks like a u-turn that is. That opens, for some reason the history right away!

Looks like it. You can switch to the contacts tab and it shows your favorites at top...but yeah, I know that's not the same. Not sure why they got rid of it.
This sucks!!! I wonder why they removed it coz I find it very useful

Looks like they changed it to PIN TO TOP. Select your person from text app, tap on menu on top right, now look at the bottom for the feature. Think of Twitter pins.
Your pinned texting contacts won't be listed horizontally, just at the top of you list.
I'm on Tmobile note 7, it it makes a difference
Hate that they removed this feature. Pin to top doesn't work for me cause if I get 4 messages I don't even the last message unless I scroll down. I'm now missing that I got a text if I get to many at once. I get allot due to work and PS was a blessing for me. I hate the new app now
