Well, as the name of the thread explains quite well, my dialer is not searching in the contact names. It only searches the numbers.
The phone is pretty new. Bought it last week while travelling internationally. Didn't use the phone features till today when I got back. I have downloaded and installed a lot of games so I don't want to factory reset it.
Any ideas?
PS: Tried searching through XDA and Google for a solution. Didn't find anything that could help me. Don't bash me if I missed something.
SOLUTION:
Delete google account and re-add it.
Couple things I can think of.
1) Have you got your contact sync on?
2) dialed enough numbers? Think you need to dial 2-3 before it shows last I tried.
3) what FW you using etc?

1. Sync is on.
2. Made enough calls but I don't see how that should affect searching.

Ah One of the firmwares doesn't do the number prediction on dialling. Can't remember which one it was, but I've seen threads about it before. But it is possible it's your region

Oh. That's surprising.

Had that with the s4. Just restart the phone.

I really did try that before asking for help, man.
Update:
I had installed whatsapp (finally) and noticed that smart dialling started working after that.
But it only searches in the names of contacts who are linked to whatsapp. The ones who are linked only to my google account are still not searched.
This is the weirdest bug I have ever encountered in any phone/ROM.

Hmm that is bizarre. open dialer > hit the soft key > settings and choose contacts to display? maybe it's not set to default (All) - or like I said previously, could be the firmware (cannot find the thread that mentions about it now )

I see, thought it was gonna help. That happened to me right after I upgraded my s4 to 4.3 in october. It really annoyed me. Hope you get it sorted out soon.

Any chance to get searching on Hong Kong firmware?
Smartdial (pinyin only) doesn't work on latest stock firmware (6.0.1) for Samsung Note 4 Duos, too.
Latin etc alphabetic languages OK.
Strange, because in stock contacts app, hieroglyphic names are grouped to the correct pinyin's first letter!
So the hieroglyphs are rendered to pinyin by system internally, but it's not used in the dialer.
Hi everyone !
I just would like to expose my solution about this problem. I have a Honor 9 with official firmware and this function worked like a charm for few weeks, but stop a day !
So to get back this function, I had to go to the contacts application, next click on "more", next "organize contacts" and finally "repair index data".
And it works !
So now if I want to make a phone call to "Sophie" for example, I can just type : "76" or "767".
My phone is in french. Application contacts, puis "plus", puis "organiser les contacts", puis enfin "Réparer l'index des données"
Hi udine1981!
I have the exact same problem with my Honor 8, but after I do reindexing, it only works for a few hours and after that I cannot find the contacts again...
Was reindexing once a permanent solution on your case?

Hey xda!
Since there seems it isn't going to be released a gear-compatible Whatsapp app by official sources I started my way into developing applications for wearable devices with my own client.
Its buggy and not reliable as my knowledge is pretty limited. But it does its job most of the time. I'm trying to figure out how to make it work better, so with time and luck, It will improve.
CURRENTLY WORKING FEATURES:
View the list of chats, with their latest messages and hours.
Open chats, showing up to the last 50 messages (sent or received) and their hours.
View contact profiles from where you can check his/her status and phone number.
Reply to chats from the watch! (Sometimes messages will not be sent until Whatsapp is opened in phone, specially if sending lot of messages in a short period of time. Some other times, whatsapp remains opened in the device after sending it.)
View profile pictures.
View received images
NOT IMPLEMENTED YET (but scheduled/planned/desired for next updates):
Push notifications on watch for new messages, allowing you to directly open the chat in the watch (Replacement for default gear notification.) [Needs some work, but will come soon].
View received images in higher res. View videos/audio.
Last seen.
Group chats.
Start a new chat.
View / edit your own profile
Call and send SMS from contact profile ( there are buttons for it , but do nothing ).
Voice reply
Send images / videos
REQUIREMENTS:
Rooted phone (Android 4.4 KitKat or higher).
Tizenmod.
sqlite3 installed on your phone. If you dont have it, there are apps in the PlayStore that can install it for you, or you can manually copy sqlite3 file to system/xbin from an emulator.
Whatsapp installed (Obviously... ) and working on your phone.
Notification access for WhatsGear must be enabled on phone settings.
Root and sqlite3 are required in order to access Whatsapp's sqlite databases.
I'm not publishing this application in the Samsung Store, but Im releasing it here for all xda users.
If not clear, I have nothing to do with Whatsapp. This is a personal project for my use that I wanted to share with whoever wants to use it too.
I cannot be held responsible for any damage related to hardware, software or data loss which the end user might cause while attempting any procedures, methods or advices found on this thread.
Reviews, bug reports and ideas are appreciated.
Hope you like it

If you swipe right or left in the keyboard special chars should appear. (I noticed some important ones are missing as ",". I'm adding them later).
Whatsapp should be closing by itself without the need of closing it from recents Im sorry to hear it isnt for you. Im at work now, but I'll take a look at it when I arrive home and add a button for force closing on gear app while I can't get It to work well by itself.
Thanks for your feedback.

Remote test lab is for testing your apps in different devices. I used it just to check if it got installed with your devices well as I don't have a note 3. Not sure why you are asking for it when you own both devices, but anyway its on http://developer.samsung.com/remotetestlab/
I have the Galaxy S7, 930F international version (Brand new). All works well, except the Messages app splits received group messages into individual threads. I have tried other texting apps and, for one reason or another, concluded that (for me) the stock Messages app would be best for me, if only this one flaw was corrected. Read a lot of threads similar to this but many seemed to address it for USA version. I'd like to maybe update the app, but can't seem to find a way to manually update this particular app (I can manually update nearly all of my stock apps, but this one is not allowed). Anyone have (what seems like) an easy fix. Again, my phone is the 930F international. Country info on the phone references United Arab Emeriates, if that helps. Otherwise, the phone is great!
Have you tried textra?
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
Try update last release samsung :good:
Thank you. Yes, that's what I've been using, in lieu of the stock app. In fact, I have tried a multitude of replacement apps (you name it, I've tried it). But for one reason or another, they all fall short in something. Textra is not very good on voice-to-text and if I have to send a text while driving, or a long text while golfing, it's something I can't easily do with Textra. But the stock app is excellent on voice-to-text. Also, the stock app uses fewer clicks to locate and attach pics & video. In fact, for my liking, the only thing the stock app misses on is the threading for received group messages. But that's a biggie. Nothing worse than watching a football or basketball game remotely and texting a group of friends, and while you can send out your text in a group text, everyone's replies keeps showing up in a separate individual threads. Their replies (intended for the group) are then mixed in with private text conversations you've previously had with that same person. Ughhh!

Not sure what you mean. By "last release of Samsung" do u mean the latest version of the stock app? I tried to update it and the phone would not recognize that app as being able to manually update. If you mean update to marshmallow, I already have version version 6.0.1

Go into messaging app, hit more (top right corner) then settings, then more settings, them multimedia messages and make sure group conversation is ticked on and I also have auto retrieved ticked on, all other features are turned off. That's what fixed it for me, mine was the same way as yours before I changed those settings, it was very annoying! All is well now!

I never had the beta. I was too late to register.
However, there are a lot of UI changes when compared with the leaked 1.5 version. ?
And the Bluetooth app installations in the watch are possessed much faster, although they are still slow as hell.
All I see is the Gear Fit app anything on the S2?

The same thing happens with other users or only with my iPhone SE?

i had installed on iphone 6 plus IOS 10.2
but as I said, unfortunateley, same that nothing is changed. only read whatsapp/sms, whatsapp no pictures, no contacts, no calls, no maps....
just downloaded the official app : works like a charm ! I got an iPhone SE (iOs 10) and a Gear S2. Here are the step needed :
- remove the leaked app from both your phone and your itunes library
- make forget the watch in the bluetooth settings of the iPhone
- reset the watch to factory settings
After the reboot of the watch, you just need to start the app and link them again. If this doesn't work, check the firmware of the watch, must be the last one.

I only reseted the watch. Nothing else.
Basically I installed the official version, and reseted the watch. Only then I uninstalled the leaked version. But there was a few minutes with both the official and the leaked versions installed and everything was working as it is now.
Ah, and I didn't make the phone forget the watch in the Bluetooth settings. Just left it there.

Hi,
If you open Galaxy App Store, you will see that yesterday, samsung has updated S-Voice.
Did you guys see it?
It may be a start for Bixby Voice?

I updated but it didn't help Bixby.

Same here.
Which means we with T-Mobile devices don't get to use voice commands to answer or reject calls. One of my favorite features has been left out! WTF?!
Really REALLY not happy here... I use S-Voice CONSTANTLY.... I have (or had) the ICON on my desktop front and center... for years. Seriously use it 4 or 5 times a day to directions, to make calls, to make appointments. WTF ????
However... and this is the wierd part... It WAS on the phone until the latest update. I bought the phone Saturday.... migrated with switch from my S5... USED S-Voice Saturday evening... noticed an update had been postponed... did the update.... then S-Voice was gone. Again... I repeat... WTF????
I may be dead wrong and talking out of my a** here, but isn't Bixby supposed to replace S voice?

I believe that is what Samsung intends to do.
No S-Voice on Galaxy S-8+ which affects Gear Neo smart watch
I noticed that when I went to reply to a text on my smart watch, a Gear S2 NEO, there was no option to voice text, in fact S-Voice is no longer there at all. I could not find in the Galaxy Store or Play Store. This is a very valued feature on the smart watches to answer your text messages vs templates or emoticons. Please let me know if there are any other options or please bring it back!
I went to the previous link and a message appeared saying I could not download. I went to apk mirror and found this
