Call a contact with more than one number - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
in my old Milestone 2
when i call a contact with mode than one contact a pop up show up asking for choosing the number to call
in the Galaxy S III don't do that,
is there a option to pop up with number to call in Galaxy S III ?

I don't like the the stock dialer too. Sometimes i had to make 3 or 4 selections before the call was made. Ik use dialer one now. This works perfect for me.

Have a look in your app-drawer and see if the dialer in there works.
The one on your desktop is a shortcut that points to the old one i guess.

No direct call button?

OK my droidx there was a phone icon in the recent call log and I believe the address book that I could tap to call the person. With the gs3 I have to open up the contact first and then hit the call button. Anyway to make it call directly from the contact list?

swiping to the right on the contact will call , to the left will open messaging.
I'm pretty sure this is on by default... if not you will have to enable it.
Oh fantastic that works great. Is there a post with other such tricks?

Nice find, thanks!
It pauses for about 1-2 seconds which is a little annoying - seems slow, but it's definitely better than clicking everywhere!
Is there any way to get the ICS dialer on here? (rather than using something like Go Dialer)

Vibration Bug ICS

Anyone else notice that you cant change the vibration pattern on this phone?
I changed it and it still uses the default vibration when a text comes in?
Confirmed on 2 phones so far.
No. I can very well change and make a custom one too.
And the one I have chosen applies when a call comes. I am sure.
I thought it is only for calls?

Setting one to a contact doesn't work either. Test it please with a text if possible

I tried to set the vibrate to heartbeat and doesn't work on text messages.

how to hide caller number from screen
I too want to hide caller number from my screen, if I save the phone number 123456789 in the name "softheart", when she calls, her name as well as number apper in my android screen. I want to see her name only. I want to hide her number if any other member in my home watches my phone screen. how is it possible?? pls help, thanks in advance. ( other phones displays only caller name, but android shows number and name).
Any solution?
Does any one got a solution? even for a rooted ROM?
I've been looking for this for a long time too pal. Not for the exact same reason though, I just don't want the people around me to know the number of the person who's calling me or the person that I call. It's not good for business. But we both want the same thing. To hide the freaking number when the contact is already saved.
I hope some developer finds a way to make this mode
Me too want to hide number ..........

Google now call and text

When I say to Google now such as "call "jade" "text message jade ......." It says contact not found and it does this for the rest of my contacts. Can anyone help? I am running stock 4.3 on nexus 4 ?

I believe there's a way you can add a nickname for contacts in the contacts app. Maybe it's a name it's having a hard time recognizing?
I have a hard time using that feature as I'm Hispanic and it has a hard time recognizing the Hispanic names I spit at it so I read about that nickname tip. I've yet to try it though.

Yeah I think thats it cause Katie seems to be the only one that works. But here's the catch it says the names like "text dad......" Then it says contact not found I don't have a clue maybe its a setting or they need to send a patch out. Thanks for the feedback

Sorry I couldn't help any more! The good thing is that voice recognition can only get better from here on out, so there's hope yet!

See that in language settings you have kept your native language. For your accent to match your native language should be kept. For example if you are in India you should set your language as 'English India'. Then it should work.
Hit thanks if I have helped you.

But the thing is, I don't have an accent. I was born in the US speaking English. Would setting it to the alternate language so that it can recognize that languages names interfere with regular every day things that I'd say in regular English?
