Changing Default Dialer - Sony Xperia XZ1 Questions & Answers

i am out on the road for 12 hours a day and i have always had issues with Nexus Dialer or This phone dialer app that comes with Xperia XZ1.
The reason is because my screen is always on navigating and when i receive a call, a little pop up windows pops up, i have to click on it to make it full screen and then swipe from bottom and choose a custom message to reply with text. it is not convenient while driving,
i had iphone 6s before this for 3 months and the only feature i miss from that phone is its simple click to answer or reject a call with a text with less steps.
i tried many dialers in google play but i cant make any of them default dialer because making them default don't work. is there anyway i could achieve this without root?

you just have to go to default apps in the applications sub-menu.

Bluetooth Message Access Profile

I've seen threads for many devices started but no responses so I'm wondering if it's a bug in Android or not. I use MAP to see texts on my Toyota Camry. It's supposed to be able to read email as well. However, there are times where the MAP settings aren't saving and the look actually changes. In one instance I get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
With this screen the settings won't save and messages can't be read. If I reset the phone, however, and go back to the MAP settings it will sometimes change to this:
With the setting screen like this, the car can access text messages but not emails. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

The setting likely means enable/disable the Bluetooth Message Access Profile (MAP) and not the email app. Their e-mail app probably doesn't even export the data, never mind implementing a bridge to the MAP.

[APP] Rotary - Dial phone and more on your smartwatch!

Hello guys,
I have been around on this site for a really long time, and until today that I have courage to post something
I'd like to introduce my new Android Wear app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nhatth.rotary
This came from the thought since the first day I got my Moto 360: I have a watch, with a round screen now! So it should mimics something round too, right? And the dial phone came to my mind!
With this app, you can dial phone numbers from your watch, old school way! In addition to that, you can set up dial rules for easier dialing :laugh:, or launch an app, or run a Tasker's task, right from your wrist!

I'd love to hear your feedbacks, suggestions, ideas, bugs,... anything! (Sometime the dialer just glitch out not respond to touch event. In that case, long press the dialer to close it. I'll try fix this bug soon!)
Happy dialing

Hangouts dialer defaults to speakerphone on Nexus 5

Weird issue on my Nexus 5. Whenever I make a call via the hangouts dialer, it will only play sound on the speakerphone. The issue doesn't occur on my Nexus 6, or my Galaxy S4, when using the same account. It's almost like the phone is using the tablet version, and thinking the phone doesn't have an ear piece. I also don't have the icon to the left of the head/shoulders with the + sign. See screenshot below (I just pulled it from a google image search). I've checked the version, and all my devices are on the exact same version of the hangouts dialer.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This forum is fast paced. Bump. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling hangouts dialer, but no dice. It's a backup device, so I can do a factory reset without losing anything, but wanted to see what ideas people out there have.

Ambient Display setting has no effect

Hi,
as per thread's title, I can't see any difference when switching this setting on. Is it just me?
Thanks for any info.

I does work for me.
If the Display is turned off and you receive a message or whatsapp or email and so on, the display activates and is showing the lockscreen.
If this option is turned off and a msg comes in there is no reaction at all, so the display remains dark. (Other than the sound / vibrate / light etc.)
Well, in this case I can confirm it doesn't work for me.
(Mmmh... now it's more than one thing that's not working...)
Any suggestion? The feature looks quite nice.
OK, it works when setting one lock method at least, I.e. swipe to unlock. I had nothing set before.
Not sure it makes sense, but at least it works.

How to close or minimize keyboard/Gboard?

I have the dumbest problem ever. I just bought a Xiaomi fitness tracker, and I can't use it because in one of the screens during setup, the "next" button is hidden under Gboard. There's a back button that closes the app (stupid), but no other controls; no way to remove focus from the text field. Hitting return just creates a new line in the text box. Please help!

you could try to remove/change keyboard from the drop down notification bar?
Sage said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, my notification bar (OxygenOS) doesn't have any keyboard options.
However, I was able to get around the issue by going into my phone settings ->Language and Input->change keyboard to SwiftKey->go back to the setup screen->tap the settings button on the Swift Key keyboard->and select "undock". This allowed me to move the keyboard up, finally revealing the next button.
These developers should be ashamed, truly.
