Why has OPO dumped their own OOS caller for Google phones app?
Google Dialer is superior. Probably the reason.

Is it? It probably phones home quite a lot though.
True phone dialer is the absolute best I've ever used. Granted I miss the call screening from my old pixel but that's the only reason I'd keep a Google dialer

The contacts app, totally sucks. It's the most unreadable app out there. The sms app, looks too stuffed for a simple sms app. Avoid. And yes, the probablity of them to phone home is high.

Hi, I can't find a way to search contacts while typing their name or number in the stock dialer.
I mean, if I type the first two digits of my gf number in my old i5500, it showed her name. Is it possible on this device to do the same, without resorting to external apps (like I'm doing right now with aContacts)?
Thanks.
My Nexus S, for your info, is a i9023 SCLCD, rooted, using NSCollab.
There are few dialer apps on the market that do this. Dialer one, Go Contacts and dialer 2 are 3 that I have used. Also do a search for T9 Dialer. Enjoy, cheers.

Yeah, I know. Did you actually read my post?
I'm using aContacts, I was just wondering if it was possibile to do this in the stock dialer, or there was a modded dialer apk, who knows
Sorry I did it but I guess I read it too quickly or you edited it while I was typing. Hope you find an answer.

No problem Thanks for the help anyway!
You can hit the search key when on the contacts tab, but that's as close as you'll get without using a 3rd party app.
I see. That's funny, because a low-end phone like the i5500 had this really useful feature integrated in the OS. Go figure.
Yeah, I don't get it either.
I've become quite fond of GO Contacts, though.
I just tried mydialer, it is smokin fast. I like go as well. Bummer that GB doesn't have this as stock.
Go Contacts is better than aContacts, thanks It's even better than default contacts
is it just me or is it complete crap?
to look up a number in contacts requires several screens/button pushes - this is majorly annoying
once a call is connected you have to hit a button to then hit the speaker - why not put that on the connected call screen?
slow
laggy
i came from a n1 with cm7 on it.

dude you must be high if you go in the app drawer there is a contacts icon thats it not seven screens, and if you in the dialer just hit menu at the bottom and theres a peoples icon with all your contacts not seven screens. you obviously dont know how to use the phone lol......also you can turn speaker on before the call even connects wich is also on the connected call screen
Also you can just go to phone and start typing the person's name.
So 326 would bring up all starting with "dan"
If you don't want to call the primary number just tap the contact details icon then tap the other number you want.
It's probably the best dialer I've used, so quick and easy.

Try touch pal dialer from market. It is much better, and free.

It's the best dialer I've ever used, and so is the People app Love it. This is why I love Sense. Dunno what drugs you've taken
Nah, i'm in the same boat as the OP.
the n1 dialer was better, more efficient. The sense dialer has too much to scroll through.
Maybe after I get used to it , it will get better.

You SCROLL through the dialer? Why?
This thread is so funny to me because I use the Sense UI for the dialer alone, it is superior to the AOSP dialer in every way.
Indeed this dialer is a much requested feature in other roms. Haven't used a faster one, and I came from cm7
There's absolutely 0 reason to ever scroll through anything in it

Exactly.. I don't know how much easier it can get than opening the dialer and hitting the first letter or 2 of the persons name you are calling...
Every stock ROM I use I always download TouchPal dialer because of it's sense-like features. I hate having to scroll through the contacts to find the person i'm trying to call with the stock dialer.

I love the Sense dialer/contact apps. I wish those and the sense lockscreen will be ported to CM7 when it is released.

Its cause I usually hit the contacts shortcut as opposed to the phone shortcut.

Well don't
Ok say you prefer the people app to the dialer, once it's open, select the search bar at the top and tap out the first few letters of the contact you want, select it from the list and dial from there.
No scrolling.
Or just get used to using the phone dialer as you're meant to. The people app is really meant for managing contacts.

I hate the sense dialer/contacts also and prefer the AOSP version however with either dialer you can just type the person's name and the contact will appear....scrolling is for old people....

I agree with you. Though for me, it's not the dialer...it's the seemingly random way that the phone will store a saved number...sometimes to the phone, sometimes to the SIM, and sometimes completely hidden and not able to be found until you start manually typing a number into the dialer, at which time it shows you that it *does* know the contact you're trying to reach, it just won't let you find it any other way.
Then there's the joy of syncing, especially with multiple gmail accounts, and having 3-4-5 copies of the SAME CONTACT and having to manually delete them all. I think my monochrome Nokia 3310 had a better contact interface.
Hi all.
I had nice Google dialer, that I had to press Send/End without dragging nothing...
After about a week I noticed that in my dialer I have to drag up to answer.
I use original Google phone, and pixel launcher.
No Nova/Apex.... stuff.
Can please anyone tell me where my dialer disappeared?
Thanks!

Try using a different launcher. Pixel launcher makes you drag up to access your app folder. Maybe it affects the dialer too.

With out it it's the same. I think it's new dialer and android 7.1.1...
I think they changed it server side (probably beta testing), because i lost it too, but my brother on his phone still has the new dialer.

When using the google gboard, i cannot use the gif portion of the keyboard. It is crossed out. I noticed using hangouts will enable the gif icon. Gboard isnt supported by the samsung stock messenger? Is there anything i can do to get the gif's to work?
Could try something like Go SMS or any other replacement apps. I noticed it doesn't work same as you.
Thats a bummer. I like the google keyboard. I can always use the stock Samsung one. Wonder why google set these limits in the 1st place.

If you click on it, it says the samsung messenger app isn't supported. Tells me there is some code samsung hasn't added to allow it to work. Probably because they'd prefer you use their keyboard. I hate the samsung keyboard so I'll just live without it.
Tried swift keyboard and hate some of the layout and features. Need to see what I can change.
Textra sms has built in gifs. And a whole bunch of amazing features. Give it a try if you still looking

Can confirm...Textra supports GIF and works beautifully with the built-in GBoard functionality.
Howdy,
Just moved to OnePlus, excited to set up the phone.
What dialer / contact manager app do most of you use? The default?
On my previous phone I had Simpler installed, but not sure I'm in love with it. Wouldn't mind an app that lets me back up contacts without sharing all the data with Google.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

I used to Google dialer and contacts.
But I switched to OOS dialer. With oos dialer, you get the custom vibration for ringtones and can call record.
I use Smart Notify for dialer, sms and notifications management. This cooperate with google contacts (or some other of your choice) and with phone app oop-stock (with call recording). This is super combination..

Ha, thank you for encouraging me to look at the stock app again.
At first I thought there was no "dark theme" in the Oxygen OS dialer, but when I turned the entire phone's dark in settings, the dialer went dark too.
I think I'll try that for a while, as well as other suggestions on the thread.
I use True Caller to avoid spam/scam calls. I'm very content with how it works
