Naming dial buttons on dual - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sure that this is obvious but cannot find it.
Is it possible to have the call buttons that select Sim 1 or 2 on the dual phone show a name (like work, private),?
Had dual Moto G and that was simply done via settings menu.

Maybe one of the alternative dialer apps have what you're looking for

smart dial problem

first of all happy holidays and new year to every body
my problem here is that when ever i press the 8 button on dial pad or the keyboard is mapping M,N,O besides T,U,V on the smart dial i have search everywhere but no been able to find anything.
for example if i want to find some one on my contacts called Valle i will type 8 for V, 2 for A 5 two times for LL, and 3 for E. but when I type the first number which is the 8 the phone shows me all my contacts that start with the letters N,M,O as I was pressing the 6.
PD: every other number is working all right
i think is probably a registry issue but not sure

Acer DX900 italian version

Hello everyone,
I own the terminal in question (DX900 VER A147 ITA 040 0502 2009/03/04 12:42). As I imagine you know, this is a DualSIM Phone.
Currently, my main problem is to assign to a key the ability to make as "main" a SIM rather than another.
To do this, on the phone, you must press a key sequence and have a few menu items choices:
Phone (left softkey),
Menu (right softkey),
Down (via the correspondig key on the key pad)
Enter (via the central key on the key pad)
At this point, you have the ability to choose which SIM to activate, the first one (first line above) or the second one (second bottom line).
I tried to achieve this through MortScript and I have succeeded. However, firstly the process is rather slow (I had to insert a pause of 250ms between the various commands to get it to work correctly), secondly the process does not happen in background and finally the process works only on the "today" screen.
Someone has any advice about it, whereas I am not very familiar with programming?
Thanks in advance.
Since "...help yourself that God help you...", "...aiutati che Dio t'aiuta..." (Italian), "...aide toi et le ciel t’aidera..." (French) , I wrote this little program, which I called "SIM_Switch" and which is used precisely to instantly change the main calling SIM.
Just map it on an hardware button and on every press of that button, the main calling SIM change instantly from "SIM 1" to "SIM 2" and vice versa.
No "Pop-up", no "Message Box": just have a look at the Today screen and see how the color of the Operator name of the active SIM change from white to orange, and vice versa, indicating the active calling SIM change.

Call a contact quickly

I quite like the stock dialler, but how do you phone someone quickly? Currently I:
1) press the dialler icon
2) press the * icon
3) press the avatar for the person I want to call
4) click on the desired phone number (home, mobile, work etc).
Can I somehow skip at least step 4 and have a default number for them so that just clicking their contact photo phones them (and long pressing pulls up the other info, perhaps)?
1) press the dialer icon
2) start typing the name of the person you want using the dialpad (similar to T9)
3) Press the name and number you want to dial, it will initiate the call

Click to collapse
That's another way to do it, certainly, but it doesn't seem to do very much towards reducing the number of keys I press!

Stick the top contacts widget on the desktop and use that, two clicks, or click phone and make sure the top three people are one of the ones you want to dial, or scroll and the keyboard disappears to show call log. 2 Clicks.
Can't say there is going to be a much quicker way of doing it short of voice controls...
There should be speed dial settings but there aren't
You can put direct dials into a swipe launcher. You can call those wity one swipe. Smart task launcher for example has more than 700 spots, swipe pad is more user friendly.
I have used this widget on almost every android I have had in the last few years: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.yuyang226.contactswidget
I use Nova Launcher. Swipe up on the dialer icon means direct call to my wife ?

Question about Dual Sim D6633 user interface

Hey all. I got a question for you z3 dual users.
If you have only 1 sim inserted. What is the UI like? Do you see a "no sim" tray icon for the second slot? Do you still see the options for the second sim in the dialer and sms app?
Thanks
Phone behaves as 1 SIM model. There are minimal visual cues that you're holding 2 SIM device unless you go to setting menu and on dialer screen the dial button has a small # 1 (or 2) in upper left corner.

SIM disable / enable shortcut button ?

I am looking for a button which can disable/enable each SIM at the press of a button. The Moto phones have such short cuts in their settings menus when swiping down the screen.
Why I want this ? Because I don't want constant times 2 radiation from my phone when I am not using either of the SIMs.
I tried an app in the store, think is called SIM Control , but was not working.
