A very Annoying Issue - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

So When I go to use the dailer it automatically takes me to contacts and to be able to dail a number I have to hit dailer scroll over at the top THEN select phone were I can dail a number this is a MAJOR inconvenance. Any Setting or anyway to fix this?

I have never seen this or heard anyone else complain of this. Are you stock?

Open dialer then go preferences> default tab and set which ever tab you want as default and then every time you open dialer it will be there.

Nothing there for that. theres no Prefernces button. Just settings and theres nothing there either.

It always takes me to the dial pad. I don't see an option to change the default tab.
Running UnNamed 1.0.2

Go in to manage application in setting and clear the data related to phone apk also the dialer data.

There's a setting on both apps default and Go SMS
Go SMS settings > Important tips> Silent
Default Message> settings > scroll down Notifications uncheck it.
Does that work?
if NOT
on Go SMS
in settings and important notes there's a tip in there for if you have uninstalled ur default message.apk
So use titanium backup to free your default message app and do what it says on the go sms pro thing to auto retrieve messages.
Do that. it should work.
in the go sms help menu it tells you how to stop double notifications.

Weird Text Message Problem

STOCK HTC EVO 3D, Running ICS newest update, Using stock Message app
When I goto respond to a text and press the message area for the keyboard to pop up the text message window increases to a full screen window instead of the smaller window it used to.
Looks like this below, Anyone know how to change it back to the smaller window
Go into keyboard settings. I believe its under landscape settings which is weird why its affecting the portrait mode.

Hmm.. I though I remembered a setting for that. Maybe try a factory reset if you are willing too.

Question abaut default phone apk

Is it posible to chage default phone? i just onstall ex dialer but still get the default dialer

When you get to calling somebody, it doesn't give you an option to choose what to dial with? I have dw contacts and use that different dialer
Otherwise go to phone and delete saved defaults
which dialer you use to call out is up to you. there is no default dialer.(edit: default is set when click on call link. use to call when link is clicked from web or email. to clear go into manage apps and click clear default) when you want to make a call and select phone you are selecting the dialer so just select ex dialer instead. if you want to delete the stock dialer then delete contacts.apk. this deletes dialer(phone) and contacts but ex dialer includes contacts.
Amen thanl you

are you pressing phone icon? if so that is your problem. you have to press the ex dialer icon to get into it. phone is the dialer. you cant change what opens when pressing phone. that would be like wanting youtube to open when you press gmail. it is only the ui not the actual phone. if you want to only use ex dialer then put a shortcut to it in place of phone. you can delete contacts.apk so the stock dialer and contacts are gone.

I did delete contacts apk and still when using ex dialer or any other that same one still comes up
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
what are you doing to get that dialer to come up? pressing phone or link from web or other?
There is a setting for one hand dialing and yours is set for left hand.
I click on ex dialer i delete the contact apk allready but it still comes up ill give it one more try
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
if contacts.apk is deleted that dialer should not be in your system anymore. the stock contacts and phone icons should be gone. you didnt delete contactsprovider.apk by mistake did you? and clicking on ex dialer should take you to ex dialer not the stock dialer. what happens if you search web for something with a phone number and click call tab from web page? first time should ask what app you want to use? what are your choices?
If you are set at 260 vs the 320 stock, it'll look that way, no?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Yes setting to 260 will offset the stock dialer like that and not ex dialer.

			
				
What Rom/mods/themes are you using?
Am om blackstar vll rom is perfect i just want tp chage the dialer all in iy

I just installed blackstar vii and ex dialer and cant reproduce your problem. When trying to open ex dialer i get ex dialer not stock and deleting contatcs.apk from system/app completly removes the stock dialer(phone) and contacts icons. Sorry but i am out of ideas.

Same issue here, very annoying.
Same issue here. Tried re installing facebook and that did not help.
Out of curiosity, does the issue go away if you follow the steps below?
Navigate to Settings > Application manager
Swipe until you are on the "All" tab.
Scroll down until you see "SNS", then tap on it.
Disable the app.
Try removing your account from within settings.
Delete Facebook's cache and data (allocation manager).
Reboot device
Sign in.

Had the same problem... Samsung SNS wants to pretty much access all my facebook info. Did the above and it stopped bugging me! Thanks!

[Q] Surrounding default phone app in AVATAR Rom

Hello there, I'm currently using [ROM][UNOFFICIAL BETA][CM10] Avatar ROM for Motorola Atrix MB860[Updated 17th Feb 13]
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140902
and have been enjoying it. I installed GO contacts EX and Go Dialer EX but for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to stop the Avatar Rom for using the default dialer when it sends or receives a call. I've gone through and looked at every option I can search through and there is nothing that allows me to uncheck / remove / ignore the default phone app.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. That was the first place I looked. Unfortunately I think the default dialer is hijacking Go Contacts/dialer EX. Go Contacts is set for the default already but the moment I dial out from it, the default dialer takes over on both outgoing and incoming calls. It's kind of annoying but I can simply get rid of Go Contacts and just live with the default. It will be a love/hate relationship It beats having the two programs competing all the time.

I've never tried it before, but root your device (if you haven't already), then go into system apps and delete the default dialer. this might work, but make sure you have your preferred dialer installed ahead of time. this is just an idea, idk if it works

It was a good idea but after I deleted dialer.apk (backed it up just in case), the system pasted a new dialer.apk in it's place (the original default one) once I launched exdialer lol. I have to admit, it is kind of comical how persistent that dialer.apk is Thanks again for the help. I think I'm stuck with it
