[Supported] quick-dial like quick-jump

Post by faraonsvk »

Hi
Firs sorry for may bad english
I use your dialer becouse is most configurable , but there are some ideas for make it better .
In dialer pad : When i touch contact name in call numbers (displaying X difrent call numbers) its open call log , when i touch on contact name in searched contact (displaying 6 contacts) its open contact view. Woud be great MENU > default action for touch contact name in call logg > 1. open call log 2. open contact view. 3 ....
In dialer pad : Posibility to turn on and turn of line with - Displaying X different call number
- Displaying X contacts . I dont need show , how much contats is searched.


In dialer pad : when i search name , and name is in call numbers , posibility to on/off showing contact in contacts search too.

hi
well, the logic is: if you click on a calllog, then it show you the "detail call log view"
you can handle this easily with "long click" on that calllog item.
to add here another extra settings ... not sure if this is a good idea ... i will keep it in mind for next version
but, i'm sure, this will start a new discussion abou the other ones ...
because next user will tell us:
"what should be happen if click on dial icon on a contact in tab "phone"
"what should be happen if click on dial icon on a call log item in tab "phone"
"what should be happen if click on contact name in tab "phone"
"what should be happen if click on call log items in tab "phone"
"what should be happen if click on contact picture on a contact in tab "phone"
"what should be happen if click on contact picture on a call log item in tab "phone"
and now all these maybe for all tabs ..../favorites, contacts, search, group, and so on ...

we can not make the whole logic to setup ... we are getting a lotof request,why we have so much options, and noone knows what todo with them ...

I understand , but my request is only about unification and priority.

When i search via t9 and i have dayli 100 calls, then still when i touch 3 od 4 letters with t9 , a have on screen 5 or 6 numbers from call numbers and name from contacts search its not visible (is still under dialpad). So when i wont see details of contact (contact view), must scrool or off dial pad. I thin possibility to view CONTACT VIEW and then call to another number , or send sms to another number is more importantly as see detail call log. If someone wont detail call log still would be on long touch.

When i open phone tab its absolute unnecessary view Displaying 64 different call numbers. This space is better used for view one more contacts in call log. There for posibility to turn on and turn of line with - Displaying X different call number, Displaying X contacts


All this are only my ideas, for better dialer. I have dayly +-100 calls (50out /50 in) so its only about simplification.

You have lot of option yes , but its only your plus , Market its full of easy dialers if somebody wonts .

thanks for your idea ... now i got it ...

i will change this in next version:
new logic:
this is only on tab "Phone" (not on tab "history")
1.) if contact -> and click on name -> it views contact (this is ok now)
2.) if call log (and is existing in contact database as known number) -> and click on name -> it views contact (this will be changed)
i think, we need no option for it

addionally: we will add:
-> "Limit call log on max %d items" -> digit input box -> (0 = default) +2.0.8 - !NEW FR!! - in next version)
(Text: "0 items is unlimited" +2.0.8 - !NEW FR!! - in next version)



thanks for your feedback, and also thanks, that you don't stop answering as my previous stupid answer.

cu camel

PLS: hint/tip: you can use email icon/dial icon/sms icon for direct sending ...

also you can setup in tab "phone", that all same contacts should be merged in call log view on tab "phone", then you don'T have 100 lines for 100 calls, because most calls will be done with same contacts.

thanks .

I use merge contacts in call log.

I have another idea for dialer. On phone tab , on dial tab, possibility to view (with some little font) contact name from quick dial manager. And possibility tu make Nick for quick dial manager contact. This nick only for on the dial pad. Its hard memory 8 possition from quick dial manager.

hi,
thanks for the idea ...
well, therefore - not very much are using the quick-dial, because the t9-search is so mightfull.
on the other hand - heard that user wanted back 2-digits shortcut call.

anyhow, to place ont he dialer pad, would be very hard, because:
1.) the name is mostly to long
2.) next the user would ike to setup the name (like a nickname), which would be loose on resyncing the device.

well, i will keep it in my mind (but only if other users are voring for that)

the version 2.0.7.1 - wea dded the logic -> call item -> click on name, then "view contact" as default (no extra option for it)
if no name for call item, then it will show "call log detail".
(will be online in next hour ..)

Thanks 2.0.7.1 work great ! :-)

Yes the standard name is ussualy to long , so the Nicknames is needs. But i think there is no problem when i loose nick names sometimes when i bought new phone or i hard reset phone...

When quick dial possibility already is in your aplication , maybe this is the way for people use it more ....
iam limited using quick dialer with my brain memory, Iam only easy memory 2-3 position :-)

T9 search is great , but if you have 600 names with company (like me) .... is quick dial for some numbers very nice :-) .... yes, i now is posibility have quick dial widget on home screen. But when i have your dialer and 8 free possition, there why not use them.


One more time thanks for contact view. !

hi peter,
i know,that you will remember -with a very short traing on 8 numbers :)
and if you need some time to remember, then open "quick dial manager" (very fast:1 click on menu key + 1 click on "quick-dialer")
hehe
well, the real story is, that i don't want to add name below the digit, because the digit is centered in height..
and a lot of users, are using font size 50 and font size for chars 20, this would then not working any more ...
(because not vey much are using the quick-dailer, because only 8 names not much ... and there is also the "favorites"tab, which is much more comfortable. and there you can also setup to show only the "name", and no picture or no group, org or whatever, then the list could be very simple adjusted as your wantings ..

Hi , ok accept.... although I do not like :-) thanks for answer

I try favorites tab, its ok , but i think in grid view is missing possibility to call with one touch. Or maybe i dont see this option ? And for both option possibility to sort like a want. No sort by first name , last name , nickname ... but like i want.

but anyway I'll try use favorit tab. Its nice future, especiali with slide change from phone tab.

Regards Peter
thats, true ... the favorites can not be arrage as you like. it is sorted by name, or whatever you have choose ...
if you don't like the gridview, then you can switch to listview.
this you can setup quiclkly in bottom menu - or in settings -> detail view settings -> favorites

EDIT:
welll, meanwhile i have another idea ..
do you know abou the "Quick-Jump" (examle: on "contacts" -> 2finger sliding together ....

we have the quick-jump on other tabs - maybe we can make a "quick-call" (like the same as quick-jump), and in this overlay window, there we could make (grid 4x7), where we can display 2-29 fields with: "2 Wilkson,Dave" / "3 Spear, Herby" ....
and number is in first line,and name in second line ...
this we can fill with the "quick-dial settings" and "quick-dial settings" we could make longer ->from 2-9 to 2-29

so the user can use the first (2-9) via long press and the other numbers for "quick-call"

and to show this new "quick-call" we can use also the "2-finger slide" - or open bottom menu and activate to click on "quick-call"

would be this ok for you ?

Re: [QUICK-CALL like quick-jump]Dialer ideas

Post by faraonsvk »

Hi, this is great idea.

I dit not now about quick jump .... i use only phone tab. I have no reason use contacts when i have T9 search in phone tab :-) I feel must have better look to another tabs :-)

So, you think this Quick Jump use in PHONE TAB yes ?

So, the 25 position with 1 to Z + 5 free position (like in contacts view) will be in phone tab replaced with quick dial , and 1 will be 1 A will be 2 on dialer pad, B will be 3 on pad , F will be 4 on dialer pad etc.... and other position C, D, E , I, J , K are only in quick jump for dial. When i long press on 2 in dial pad i call position A from quick jump screen.... when i go to quick jump and i touch 2 in this screen, i call. Understand right ?
If this is right, its very useful.

Some ideas to this version:

Posibility to send SMS to contact in Quick jump screen .... for example when i long pres in quick jump i call , when i touch i see contact detail (like when i touch in phone view contact name)
Posibility to view contact picture , when i have someone in quick menu i have its picture. And maybe litle more position in quick jump menu ... when i have 4x4 or 5x5 ? ..... i dont think its necesserily have 29 position , better is more space for picture and name. Please do not take this as a my requirement .... its only my ideas for make it better :-)

P.S. I think you need short video about your great program. Only from picture is not clearly how execelent is your program , and what are the options. ;)

thanks dor feedback ...
we will look if we can add it to 2.08 or to 2.0.9

if you look to quick-jump (on tab "contacts", there will be shown a list of all letters, transparent window)

and like this - we could use on "phone" tab.
the grid can then made like: grids with are 5x7 - and the fields will be fill with:
1. line: shortcut number (02-36) (first 2-9 can also be called via long click on dialpad number 2-9)
2. line: fill with name (no picture, it is for quick-call, i don'T think, that there are prictures are needed, because picture would be slow, we want a "QUICK-CALL" window)
so, this list be be sorted then in quick-dial-manager (we will add interface where user can sort this list ..)
the quick-dial-manager will be expanded to 35 numbers

the "QUICK-CALL" does then making a call to the defined number in quick-dial manager
and activating is via:
a) in menu (bottom menu)
b)m 2-finger slide (set 2 fingers on screen, then move them together)


(PLS: if you only use tab "Phone", then you can also make a link on tab "toolbox" -> long click on "Phone", then this shortcut link is like a stand-alone "Phone" app, and changing to other tabs is then not possible)

yes, i know, but it would be senseless :(
well, a free definable sort order for favorites is not supported on android, and on every sync this info will be lost ...
so, this must be done at first from google :(
