Contact calls list is not available

Post by Robbit »

Hello everybody,

since the recent update to 2.5.1.0-pro I don't see a way to open the contact's calls list (all calls from a certain contact) from the call history. I can access the list only by long tapping an entry, then chose "Edit Event of contact" ("Ereignis von Kontakt bearbeiten"), then a different menu bar belows appears where I can chose "Calls" ("Anrufe").

Request 1: Please add this "Calls" list (call history of one contact) to the context menu of contacts.

Request 2: Please allow the user to open the "Calls" list (call history of one contact) to be opened by tapping either the contact picture or the entry (depending on the current list, recent calls or contact list).

Request 3: Please allow the user to configure the context menu of contacts.

Thank you very much.
-Robbit.

Hello
Thank you for your suggestion.
Looks like your "default Contacts Viewer" is not DWC offer.
When you have passed the "Edit Contact Events" opened DWC provides contacts viewer.
If you need to use the contact viewer DWC offer.

You need to first clear the current default contacts viewer. In the Application Manager.

Hi dwp,

thank you for your extensively reply. But you haven't read my question carefully. ;)

You explained me, how to access the calls history, which shows the calls of/with all contacts. But I was actually talking about the list, that shows all calls with one certain contact.

To specify my matter of concern more detailled. The normal calls history is like this:
  • Tuesday, 4. June 2013
  • John Doe (2) [19:36-00:02]
  • Mary Stewart (1) [18:51-00:43]
  • Marc Ziff (1) [13:05-01:13]
    Monday, 3. June 2013
  • Halle Berry (2) [22:23-01:22]
  • Mary Stewart (3) [20:00-00:56]
  • John Doe (1) [17:13-00:10]
But I was talking about the calls history of one certain contact, which looks like this:
  • John Doe
  • ⁄ Mobile: +49123456789
    (4. Jun., 19:36-00:02)
  • ⁄ Mobile: +49123456789
    (4. Jun., 17:01-00:33)
  • ← Work: +495678912345
    (4. Jun., 11:15-01:55)
  • ⁄ Mobile: +49123456789
    (3. Jun., 17:13-00:10)
  • ← Mobile: +49123456789
    (2. Jun., 09:30-02:00)
  • ⁄ Work: +495678912345
    (2. Jun., 16:16-00:50)
In the settings you can choose the action that will taken when tapping the lists entry and seperately (very good!) when tapping the lists image (e. g. show contact details, view quick contact badge, call current number). DWC also offers here the option to open the contacts history ("Kontakt-Verlauf anzeigen"), but this option has effect to the contact list view, only. What I want to be fixed, as it is obviously a bug, is that this action also woring in the calls history.

Thank you very much for developing the DW Kontakte & Telefon Pro :)

Cheers
-Robbit.

Hello Robbit
Maybe this time I understand what you mean.
When you configure Click list entry actions to View item (auto contact or history).
DWC only shows the current number of all call records. You want to display the contact's phone records.

Using View contact history can not meet your requirements?

Hi Robbit,

Not sure I quite follow you, but here's what I think you are looking for:

In Call History or even in Contacts list:

See a contact you want the calls history for...

Long Tap the contact.

Choose 'View contact'

You'll see the numbers and other contact details.

Now, Slide or swipe Right to Left twice. You should see all the call history if there is any.

Is that what you're after? Swipe R to L again and see the totals... Cool?

Cheers,
A

P.S.

Of course, this doesn't work if you have set the default Contact Viewer app to the Stock one.

This is what my other post about Jelly Bean is on about.

To reset so you can choose the DWP Viewer, you'll have to follow DWP's instructions above.

But then, you're left with either having to set the Default to the DWP viewer, or, like I do in Froyo, choose every time... It's inconvenient, hence my Questions post to DWP.

Cheers!

P.P.S.

To Reset default Contact Viewer app:

Android Settings | Applications | Manage applications | DW Contacts & Phone | Launch by Default... Clear as appropriate.
