Sprint Galaxy S2 update to 4.0 question - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So Sprint/Samsung sent the Android 4 update to my phone and now when I hit my phone button the next screen does not automatically load the dialer. It will load the screen you were on last ie. call log or favorites. That annoys the **** out of me and adds extra time to making a call.
Someone please tell me there is somewhere I can change this back to the way it was?
Thanks in advance.

Wrong forum buddy. This is for ROM development. Regarding your question, you should learn a little more about activities and views.. and switching between activities.

[Q] HandsFreeActivation; Failing on Devil Toast

I searched the Q&A thread and couldn't find a concise answer to this.
Handsfree activation fails on the phone, and I'm not able to get any 3G/Phone signal. When I go into the 'About' section of the device, I can clearly see that in place of my phone number, there are 4 digits.
I remember from my EVO 4G days having to download an app while in Sense to retrieve a code, that I would would have to input in the AOSP ROM.
Can someone please help me get phone/data up and running on this bad boy? I cannot stand Sense, and need to get away from it ASAP.
Thanks!

I don't have the answer, but since no one helped you, I will suggest you post your question in the Devil Toast thread as Agrabren seems like a dev who helps his users. Since you don't have the minimum 10 posts needed, I suggest you Thank me here and then post some comments on the Themes section about how great the themes are to get to the minimum.
You could also run a sense ROM and then use a desensify script or run a ROM like SOS where the sense has been removed.

To fix this issue you need to navigate to settings Update and Update Profile. and then update the PRL that will Set you back up...

[Q] My Wishlist for the s4

So here is my question for you all. I am new to Jelly Bean but not new to custom roms. Having the s4 for a week, I love the device but there are many things that I can't stand. I have a couple of questions wondering if root will fix, or if I need to wait for some cool roms to come out. Here are my 2 wishlist items:
1. Change the default voice app program. I hate how laggy S Voice is, just like Siri. Is there a way that I can make double tapping the button to launch google now waiting for an audio command vs s voice? I discovered that holding menu will launch google now and I can say the word "google" for it to hear my commands. 1 Handed operation while driving makes it very hard to launch. I hate to say it but one thing I loved about my iPhone was even with the phone sleeping, I could hold that button to fire up siri.
2. With root, is there a way to enable the phone to force CDMA/EVDO only? There are situations that LTE is giving me 1 bar in my office where CDMA is giving me 4 bars.
Thank you for any advice you may have to give!

I too would like to know if there is a way to go to 3g only. 4g sucks at my work.

[Q] Old style call log

I've been looking around and searched the forum. All I could find was how to hide sms messages from call log. I switched from Galaxy S 4G (T959V) to my current Galaxy S3 (i9300) couple months ago. I try to get used to the different call log, but I just don't like it at all. I like the old style call log better. Is there anyway to modify my call log? Or I can download an app to replace the stock one, and what's the name of the app? Here's some pictures of what I'm talking about. The sceenshot pic is how it is looking now on S3 stock call history screen. Camera pic is how it looks like on S1 stock call history screen and how I want it to look like. I like how the old one shows more detail, I can see how many times this person called easily.
Thanks in advance.

why does keyboard hide after sending each text?

I just changed from an iPhone 5 to HTC ONE and I'm so frustrated at this issue. In iPhone, after sending a text message the keyboard stays on the screen in case you want to type something right after what you sent previously. In HTC One however, If I type "Hello" and press send, the keyboard will hide in bottom before I can type "How are you?" in the following separate text message. It's pretty frustrating to keep clicking the white part to bring back the keyboard up to send a follow up text. I've tried all kinds of things but just can not seem to find a solution to this problem. Any help will be appreciated. BTW it's running stock at&t software and nothing has been modified.
That's the way it's supposed to be there's no fix because nothing is broken

That's how a normal phone works. Why would you send multiple messages in a row?
Here is how a normal person sends a text:
Hi, how are you? Wanna meet at taco bell for lunch?

Amazing
*s¡gned
I hate people like you. Text 1 Hello. 2. How are you? 3. Whats going on tonight?.
If your going to have a conversation with the person then call them if not then just get straight to the point. I think the fix is knowing when you make a phone call vs text.

as noted, this isn't a 'problem' with the phone. it's working properly. i almost dont want to dignify your questionw itha response due to, as others noted, your apparent penchant for sending a series of short texts taht could easily jsut be one message. part of the problem is you. that said, I will provide a response because i use an app that deservesplugging and is truly a spectacular addition to the phone. Get yourself the Chomp SMS app from the app store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.p1.chompsms and at chompsms.com). It's tremendous for about 1000 different reasons, one of which is that is allows you to control when the keyboard auto-hides.
to your credit, years ago when i switched to Android from iPhone i did find this setting odd. however, i got used to it and actually much prefer it now. i'd probably dropkick myself in teh face if i had to deal with the keyboard staying up and that tiny little screen on the iPhone again...you can only see about 2 messages! that was horrifically frustrating.

also, it really sucks that this is your first post in XDA. i know we're long past the days where these forums were saved for the dedicated developer and hardcore enthusiast, but this is just a sad introduction ot use on XDA. it's crap like this that's turning these forums into the new android/droid forums...do a little reasearch before posting, okay? maybe even read the rules of the forums?
