Using CM6 and I have a annoying issue. I don't know if this was intended as a feature or maybe just an issue on my part. I'd like to be able to go into call log, tap on a missed call/contact, and have it automatically call.
If I want to call my gf I have to long press her name and select call. Is there a way to enable this. I check through the call log preferences and didn't see anything.
Basically need to tap on a contact in my call log and automatically call them. I DON'T want to have to long press.
Judging on it's behavior it looks like it was intended this way.
I think it threads calls by day, and if there were multiple calls in that day you click on you're going to expand the thread.
Otherwise clicking on the call then I get the option to call in the next screen... so 2 maybe 3 clicks at most.
I don't think it is an issue, but the design. I could understand you just want to click to call but it gives you multiple options when clicking on the missed call.

Or you could just open the Phone app, Press Menu >> Preferences, scroll down to Call Log, and click "Show Dial Button".
Nahh... you're right, it's intended that you should be forced to long-press.
Yeah I always redial from my call log so its annoying. Thanks that worked I saw that option but didn't know what it meant. This works perfect.

If you press the arrow on the right side of the call log, it will call that person.

Hey,
i recently got a HTC Touch Pro 2 and i'm quite happy with it. Nice phone all in all. Just that when i receive a call while the phone is in my pocket it automatically presses the "send text message" button in the right bottom. This makes it send the message "I am busy right now i'll call u back later" blabla. Anyone knows how to turn this off?
I have looked around this forum, google and the phone itself but i can't find it anywhere..
Thanks!
Phone, Menu, Options, Advanced tab.
Uncheck "reject call with text message".
The button you are pressing is rejecting the call. It will keep doing this, just without sending a text.

Hm is there a way to fully disable the button? I prefer using the slide to refuse a call, not just press a button. Also i'm using the default HTC WM 6.5 rom..

Yeah it does, but the problem is i keep accidentally pressing the button in the bottom right. This making me refuse the call without wanting it.
One major inconvenience on our Galaxy S2 devices is the current impossibility to call from anywhere within Android without first going back to the home screen. After examining the currently available solutions for direct dialing, I will make an improvement suggestion / request that has to do with double tapping the home button.
Proposed solutions
1. In order to call from the messenging application, you can (credits to mrfreddan):
swipe over the contact name in the messaging overview (1 button)
in the message history, you can press menu + call (2 buttons). Samsung if you read this, please allow swiping call from within the message overview as well!
2. In order to call from the Samsung/Google email application (credits to BlueScreenJunky):
can click on contact pictures in both Gmail/Samsung Mail application (still 2 taps), but unlike in the messaging app, no swipe & call option in the email clients...
...would be better to double tap to call, either on picture or on home button
3. In order to call from any other menu (credits to itsjusttim):
Can highlight a phone number when directly visible / available and call from there...
...otherwise forced to go back to home screen and call from there (2 buttons)
Conclusion: this is still insufficient versus other phones that allow calls with a single press from anywhere in Android.
Improvement/Fix request:
Allow double tapping fix to bring up dialer instead of voice talk (which cannot be used in loud / very silent environments)
Make single pressing home button more reactive by shortening the double tapping interval
Improve the messaging and Samsung/Google Email applications to allow direct calls more easily (probably an immediate Samsung/Google to do)
If you have any proposed tricks / solutions, please feel free to post in this thread. Thanks
If you press on the number within the email or text.. etc it will take you to the phone app

I know it's not what you're looking for, but whenever you have the picture of a contact (in Gmail, in Go SMS or CM7 SMS) you can click the picture and there you have the option to call/IM/email the contact.

it seems impossible to call email or SMS contacts directly from these applications(I may have overlooked something obvious).

I don't know about the email app but from the message app you can call people both from the main view (swype right over name) and in the message view (press menu then call, or, if they texted you with a number in the message itself, just press it)

Thank you for this! I have updated my original post to include current solutions.
I love the swipe & call option, even though I wished it worked in the messaging thread itself. Menu+call is still 2 buttons, swiping over is equivalent to the HTC call button...only 1 tap.
That leaves the need to call from other places in Android...There it is also 2 buttons to bring up the dialer (home+call). I wish double-tapping could be used to bring up the dialer!
I am sure this is not a big deal to implement, so hopefully someone will come up with a quick fix!
What you are discussing here is worthwhile but is available within a number of apps such as handcent where the call option is in every part including the message thread. Since these apps are also quite a bit more fully featured in other ways and work seamlessly I'm not sure why a person would want to spend time modifying the stock app? I feel like I'm missing something here.

Yes, indeed, in Handcent or free SMS or many others you can call from the message overview. I did investigate today and found many options. But that's for SMS only.
From any menu outside of Messenging, this is still a 2-step process to launch the dialer. In HTC sense, this is as simple as tapping the call button. On the Samsung there is no hard button, so you have to use inbuilt shortcuts within the main applications (still a two step process, tap picture and then press call) or you have to press the home button and call from there.
Therefore my suggestions still hold. Reassigning the double tapping to direct dial (or other action for that matter) as an option, would be beneficial to the G2 community.
Has anyone found a solution for reassigning hard keys / key combinations to other functionality?
How about just getting Wave Launcher (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mobilemerit.wavelauncher&feature=search_result) and then adding "Phone" to the menu?
Then you can access the dialer from anywhere in Android without pressing the Home button.

Ok, the way your post originally read it was just from the messaging app but from anywhere is something completely different.

But the issue with that is: 2 gestures instead of one, slower.

It did say I want from anywhere, but it is still true I have edited the post to contain the proposed solutions. Still, thank you.
What we need is an application that allows to reassign all key combinations to the desired action. I want to call others want VoiceCommander, others want GoSMS...This is what people are after.

On my Droid Incredible/Gingerbread I could configure whether the phone went to the call log or not after a call, but my Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2 always goes to the call log - this is especially annoying when I'm using the phone to navigate and get a call, when the call ends you don't just go back to the navigation. Anyone see a way to configure this that I missed?
Definitely interested in this as well
There is an app called "Not Call Log" which can take you to the home screen, dialer or open an app after hanging up. If you use Tasker, you can also set it to do anything with a "phone idle" condition (that may not make sense if you're not familiar with tasker).

Even though the call log appears, i believe the activity stack is is still maintained meaning after your call ends just press back twice, the second leaves the call log back to your prior activity.
The title says it all, is there any way to disable the call log from popping up after a call with the stock ICS dialer? I'd rather just have the phone go back to where it was or even just to the home screen. It's rather annoying when receiving a call when using navigation and having to switch back after ending a call, in many places (such as where I live) I would have to pull over to the side of the road and switch back in order to avoid a hefty fine. Also, I'd rather not have whomever I'm with see my call log if I have my phone mounted on my dash.
If there is no way with the stock ROM are there any custom ROMs that allow this?
Thanks.
not call log
I used to use an app called not call log, but I'm not sure if its compatible with ics.
Well... if you're just looking to go to the homescreen after a call... go to call log --> settings --> Exit To Home on End Call (Checked). Sorry, I don't know if this works on stock or on particular roms, but I'm running AOKP b25 and it has this feature.
Also, after your call ends and you are now seeing the call log, just press back and it takes you back to whatever you were doing prior. The activity stack stays in tact, it just adds call log to the top of it.

I think its not there on stock ICS
This does the trick for me: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.imediot.aftercall
Forgive me, but... Even after 2 months with the phone I still can't put a call on hold and answer an incoming call.
It was so simple with the iPhone...
You got an incoming call and you get 3 choices.... with 3 buttons... none of that swipe nonsense.
Ignore Call
Hold Call + Answer
End Call + Answer
On the android,.. you have to swipe.. then it "prompts" you briefly... if you choose hold call.. it will still end the call and on most occasions it just drops both calls.
Why so simple things get so complicated?
Is there a manual or tutorial for this simple action?
Thanks
No problems here. If I get a call while on a call I get a pop up asking me to either end current call, put current call on hold and answer and a 3rd option I think is reject incoming call. Not sure if that is exact wording on options but haven't had any issues using any of them.

Well i get the 2 options to swipe... answer or cancel
Once I swipe, another option appears... no matter what I do... it ends both calls.

Are you running stock ROM? Can you post some screen shots or video?
When I am on a call and the phone rings I get a pop up like the other guy said.
Are you running a different dialer?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
i as well get the pop up with three options
answer the call
put call on hold and answer
and i believe the third one is reject call
they all seem to work ok, they do what they say they are going to do anyway...none of them just hang everyone up, lol
