The Pixel 3 has a lot of great new features. I think we can all agree that one of the most fulfilling ones is call screening, which I've now used on quite a few "Spam Likely" and local election calls. I enjoy using it every single time.
With that said, I spend a lot of time on conference calls with my clients and since I switched from my OnePlus 6 to the 3 XL this week, I've found a fantastic little feature in the stock Google Dialer on my 3 XL that doesn't get enough attention. In fact, I haven't seen anyone discuss this at all.
The feature auto-fills conference ID codes and even populates the final "#" symbol at the end, when necessary. This was not a feature I had on my OnePlus 6, my 2 XL or any other phone before and it is simply amazing. It saves me a ton of time trying to remember (and always forgetting) the conference code while dialing, or resorting to writing it down. I suspect this is just a new feature in the Google Dialer that is also available on other phones. But like I said, it was never one my 2 XL, so I have no prior experience with it.
Admittedly, the feature is small and many won't even know about it, but this is a serious new "must have" for me, which I've already used 9 times since Monday. Love it!

This is a feature of Google Calendar. It's been around for quite some time.
That said, its a huge quality of life thing for those of us who spend a lot of time on conference calls.
i definitely need this... how do i set this up?

According to w0rdie, it's actually a feature of Google Calendar. I'm assuming as long as you use that as your default calendar it should be setup automatically for you. I didn't need to set anything up. It just worked on my phone right out of the box.

I purchased the Verizon Touch Pro 2 the day it came out, but I have never been happy with the phone. I have had some issues with two of them actually. I’m receiving my third new phone this Thursday. I’m going to sell it off on either Ebay or XDA or something, but I was curious to see if anyone else is jumping ship to the new Motorola Droid. Anyone? I think the droid is a great mixture between the customization of WM6.5 and the stability of Blackberry. What do you think? Anyone taking the leap? I think that will be my next phone. I was excited for the WM6.5 update and what not, but it my eyes WM will never be great until possibly WM7.
PS: If you’re interested in a new HTC Touch Pro 2, we can discuss that too! Just thought I would toss that in there…..
We have almost 20 TP2s. Everyone knows the Droid is coming, no one has asked. I have 10 more eligible for upgrades in the next 2 months, and most of them have asked for a TP2.
you say you have had problems? what kind of problems to go through 3 phones :\
I have seen videos of it and it is buggy. For instance if you go to scroll through contacts or a list you drag your finger and about a half of second later it decides to scroll. Plus I can't stand not having decent gps software.

are you talking about the droid not having decent gps software? The google maps on droid looks pretty damn good to me.
Be wary of "The Droid", last guy that thought it was a good idea to switch... well, it didn't turn out so well ...

if you don't want the freedom of doing anything with a mobile device via mods, hacks, and forums (and I mean anything literally) but rather a very handy device that will perform well out the box...then I recommend the droid...but if you want anything you can think of on a phone...stay with the TP2. Pretty much, the TP2, you have to "fix" and "trick" out to see the "actual" potential of what you have where as the the Android OS, you get most of what you would want right out of the box but has limitations. I stay with windows personally cause if I need something, it's there either on xda or ppcgeeks, period. It's just a matter of finding it.
I say do it. The more people we have working on it, the faster we can root it and start modifying.
It looks like a great phone. I can't wait to pick it up friday.
This app is seriously cool! Push to talk Walkie that functions with other Android phones that have the same app installed.

my friends and i have this and we "chirp" each other all the time. Especially fun to embarrass each other.
The volume is really low and that annoying noise when you press the icon to send a tikl is annoying.

I thought it was an innovate and fun app, but the chirp is slightly annoying. The volume is controlled by your media volume level.
Yeah my volume is up but maybe it was because I was tikl'ing my gf's phone right next to me.
i tried it between me and my brothers phone, we couldnt get it to ever connect :-\
Love the app... My brother and I are using it all the time while he is on vacation. Saves the trouble of calling or texting. I just wish it was cross platform so that all my iSlave friends could use it too...
On a business note, it's become a great selling point. I've had a few of my customers jump on the android bandwagon coming from Nextel to use this feature...
This one and chirp are good, both have some flaws and need updating but having PTT on android is brilliant

i couldnt for a while but i guess it was the way i was using it??? idk but i guess i was doing it wrong at first and now it works.
So this uses no minutes or sms its pretty much all data which is awesome
Does anyone know if this and Chirp have iPhone counterparts? My roommate has an iPhone, and we like random stuff like this and Knocking.
Hey Everyone,
Just wondering what everyone is using as there Dialer??
The Stock one is quite sad considering that you have to click like a few times to call someone...
Is there a application out there that displays all your contacts and you just have to press once on the name to dial?? ( Not like MeContacts that only displays so many for speed dialing)
I was looking at Dialer one but can't seem to download it...seems discontinued or something...
Please give your preference and if you can, why you chose it.
Thank you all for your input.
Chad
check out superdial
There is 2 in the market place at the moment,
1 that is a paid version but says it's for chinese users but we can use it still and the 2nd one has bugs in it and isn't being continued?

me too looking for something like this , checked superdial, not so impressive though.
Check out Youlu. A number of Android sites have recommended it. I just installed it, and though it could use more options (such as disabling dial-sounds, and hiding of email-only contacts), it looks nice.
wow this is actually better than atakephone, i kinda regret paying for it now!
I always had hard time searching contacts to dial.
I used modified acontacts on my donuts. But im now using Dialer One.
It have call log, dialer. contacts at once. easy to use. and its Free
Try it

Going to try Youlu and Dialer one out right now and see which one I like better!
Another vote for Superdial. I've been using it for a few months now, can't live without it. It's definitely one of the best dialers out there.
My main concern is having quick and easy access to contacts without having to click through 17 menus to get to them. I simply start spelling the name of the contact and it appears, tap their name and it's calling. Takes a mere 2 seconds before I'm calling the person I want.
Like the title says, get a free phone skin from Marlboro and skinit.com.
1. Scan qr code in picture below
2. Set up account
3. Create a brand
4. Get it shipped
Says it could 8-10 weeks for delivery, but I just ordered mine on 23OCT and received it in the mail 01NOV. Limited to folks 21 and older and they do ask for SS# for age and identification verification so there is that catch. Other than that, no strings attached. Figure if you're a nonsmoker you can just make up some stuff when you create the account for brand preference and such. I also included pics of mine. If you decide to get one come back and post pics.
It does limit you to 2 characters on the brand and as hindsight is always 20/20, I realized I could've done my favorite college or university as opposed to the initials of my name.

As I lurk more often than not, I'm crossing my fingers that I posted the pics correctly.

Pics are pretty small, and appear to be screen shots of pictures, but they worked. From looks pretty cool, but they ask for way too much info to feel comfortable IMO. Cool find though.
i already am on the marlboro mailing lists and get several freebies a year, so theyve already gotten my info. that being said, i ordered this a few weeks ago also. im not one for phone skins so i had it made to fit an iphone 3gs for my dad. quality is soso. just a typical skinit skin. not bad for free.
Not many skins to choose from, but hell its free, I got the one that looked like chrome for the toolboxes on the back of truck... the brand thing is pretty cool too, makes it unique. 15 bucks saved.
How strange
Thanks for the post, I don't see why you need to be 21+ when you're legally allowed to smoke at 18. Lol. I'm not the one giving away free skins, so i guess it's on them.
Give them social security for a free identify theft for them and get a free skin? HMMM....
Hopefully LG patches this OTA asap!

As long as you don't select the option to allow Google to unlock your phone with your voice, this isn't an issue, nor is it's LG's problem.

Thanks for that. Maybe LG should hire you as calling them they said there was no fix and I don't remember ever turning that option on.... Going to have to test if someone elses voice can unlock it.

Exactly. This is a google issue.
This thread is so misleading, and so is the video. This can be done on all phones with the Google app on it. The setting has been there for a while. OP should at least make an edit to topic/post and/or switch the video into a PSA of sorts. Advice people on how the setting works and to give best practices like training their voice.

no doubt, trust zones keep my phone unlocked when at my home. keeps it unlock when it detects it is still on my person and hasn't changed hands, and many other trusted things you can set. turn these off and I bet he has a harder time unlocking
lol a joke.. without trusted voice my phone tells me it cannot be completed while device is locked..
ppl just never learn lol not a bypass at all
So if there's any confusion, it only works with what Google detects as your voice. I tested with multiple family members, and only one got it.
But he's my identical twin and our voices are almost the same.
Can someone else try having their SO or a buddy try to get in? Pretty sure they won't.
