Using stock Sony dialer & contacts app some of my contacts aren't showing up, they are there but if you search alphabetically they aren't. Tried rocket dialer etc and they show up just fine, anyone shine any light on this issue?
In the stock Contacts app, go to Menu (the 3 squares on the bottom right) then Filter and go through the various settings.
Yup that fixed it, but quite surprised that as standard it doesn't display all my Google contacts.
Edit: OK, fiddling with the filters makes all the contacts visible, ie scrolling through the list they are there, but try searching and they don't all come up.

I lost my green Phone icon in ADW.
It used to take me to my main dial screen from which I could select contacts etc. Since, it isn't an app, I cannot just drag it out off my app drawer. Also none of the custom actions seem to match so far.
I could still use "contacts" directly, but I like the way that dialer worked best.
I want to it back, preferably without wiping or reinstalling ADW. Any suggestions?

Simply drag "Phone" from app drawer to home screen and then to launch bar.
(Flabbergasted as to how I didn't see this. I did look for precisely this initially)
I'm running stock GB update with no moods, unrooted. It seems as though ADW is having some glitches with my quick contacts. I have 8 of them set up on a homescreen in their smallest form 1x1. Sometimes when I run an app or the phone goes to sleep, when I look at the screen again the contacts icons are slightly enlarged with a grey bar along the bottom with two dark grey thumbnail like buttons. When I press the contact, instead of quick dialing like I have them set for, it brings up the copntact menu for text, email, or call. Anyone having this issue or know what the cause may be? Any help appreciated.

I'm pretty sure this is the wrong section since this is an app, not atrix specific

I installed cm7 and it has it's own quick contact widget that is great, as a matter of fact, most of the glitches that I experienced in GB were fixed with cm7.
I like how in the stock dialer, when you select a contact, you swipe left to SMS or swipe right to call, quite slick. However, this doesnt seem to work for the favorites (as long as I use grid view i/o list view). When I tap on a favorite, it brings up the contact profile (w/ all the phone numbers, email addresses etc) instead of dialing by default; very inconvenient, esp when you're in a rush to call from the street. Am I missing a setting?
I've tried using exDialer instead; almost perfect except it doesn't clear missed call notifications (you still need to open the stock dialer to clear that) and doesn't show your call log as clearly (just one entry/contact, instead of showing all recent inbound/outbound/missed calls as distinct records). Is there any way around both of these issues?
Hi all. I've seen a few posts around this, but not asking the same questions I have. I'm new to the Mate 10 Pro but I've used a long list of other Android phones. This MIUI is really starting to bother me.
One of the issues I have not been able to overcome is around customizing sound notifications. I'm not a fan of the default Huawei Messaging app, the Mail app, or the Calendar app. I attempted to switch back to Google apps for all f these, but I immediately found issues.
When using the Huawei Calendar app, my shared calendars were not being shown and were not listed in the available calendars to show. I installed the Google Calendar app and was able to go in and select them. At that point, all my shared calendars showed in both apps. I uninstalled the Google Calendar (thinking I just couldn't find the setting in the Huawei app), but then my shared calendars disappeared from the Huawei app. I installed the Google Calendar, and had to go in and select the shared calendars again, in order to get them to show. So now I am using the Google Calendar, but I set a notification for appointment reminders, and it still defaults to the default sound. If I go into the Huawei app, I can see my custom sound, but if I go into the Google Calendar, the option to set a custom sound is not available (not greyed out, just missing). My other Oreo phone running straight Android has the option.
On the Huawei Messaging app, I found I didn't care for the look/feel, so I switched back to the Google app. However, it has the same issue as the Google Calendar app. I go in to set a custom notification sound, and the option is missing. Again, it's not just grayed out, it's not there.
I was able to use the Gmail app and set my custom notification sounds for each mail account, so I know it's possible with SOME third-party apps, just not all.
I had set my theme to use a darker color, but inside the Google apps, they still default to the white colors, so this gave a little bit of a hint. If I go into the Google Calendar app (very white interface despite my theme settings), click the hamburger bars in the top-left, go to Settings, click General, scroll down to Notifications (Notify on this device is ON), click Calendar notifications, I get sent to the Huawei Notifications Management page for the Google Calendar app (dark theme, matching the rest of my Huawei theme). I can enable the Ringtone notification, but I cannot customize it. On or off, that's it. It's the same thing in the Google Calendar app.
Am I missing something here?
I don't think so. I just noticed this myself. Huawei's implementation of Oreo seems to have dropped the ability to customize your sound choice in the notification channels each app presents. You can turn the ringtone on or off, but not change the sound. Major-league fail on their part.
I'm glad it's not just me, this was driving me crazy. I'd agree, big miss on Huawei's part. Hopefully it'll be fixed in a coming update.
I wouldn't count on it. I've seen threads about it dating back to November. I'm using a third party app (eNotify) to customise my SMS notifications.
