Arc S LT8i Speed Dial Help - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I want to know if Arc S has speed dial function which unfortunately i couldint find it ! nd if not then is there any app in market that would help?
Help !

You can add contacts to your favourites (the star icon) and you can also copy individual contacts to your home screen.

adding contacts in ur favorites wont help u in speed dials its totally a different thing !

I have found it !
u can press on the main screen, when a window appears, it will show u the shortcuts option, when u go into, it will ask u the shortcut contact, but a mother of that function is Direct dial which will take u the contact list then select ur contact individually it will show on ur main screen nd it can directly call to the specific contact, same applies to if u want to have direct text, while shortcut to a contact will past a contact on the main screen but it not directly call or speed call, it will open a small window bar rite at the top of that contact u just pressed nd will give u the option to either text or call that contact, not bad tho ! but for speed dial that direct dial is wicked ! :good:
Thnx & Regards

[Q] Can't change the photo of a facebook linked contact

The title says it all, but I will try to explain it more. So I have a contact that's linked to a facebook, so the contact's photo is taken from facebook. When I edit the contact, tab on the photo, change it with one from my gallery, then save the contact, it shows me again the facebook photo, not the one that I've chosen from the gallery.
Stock Froyo...
Anyone any thoughts about this?
Yeah, I have the same problem, no one bothered to help me, lets try again
If you view the contact in HTC People, tap on where it says "Linked" in the top right corner. Then tap on the photo - you can then choose from all the pictures you have assigned to the contact - including from facebook, google, camera and gallery etc.
yeah but it doesn't change them no matter what I choose
thanks anyway
if you know how to remove the f****ng FB contacts from the dialer I will apreciate it very much
Think you have to unlink.

You don't hv to unlink.. Be sure to display the "main" contact is either phone or google contact, whichever u changed the picture. Pick from drop down list..
If u don't wanna see FB friends, just uncheck it from People - Menu - View, uncheck facebook for htc
from my Desire + XDA App

It did actually work this time, strange I did the same thing several times before and it didn't
I was talking about the ones at the bottom of the dialer, I got rid of the others a while ago, but it still displays the ones that have phone numbers in the dialer
thanks guys

how to set 3party dialer as default

I installed a new dialer on my Arc. Please advise how to set it as default, thanks.
go into the applications menu in settings and find the stock dialer app.. select clear defaults, next time you select to royal a contact it will ask you which app to use.

my problem is I couldnt find the stocked dialer in application menu...
Not 100% sure, but it could be a part of the contacts app.. try clearing defaults in there..won't do any harm if I'm wrong!

This worked! Ive been trying unsuccessfully on my MT3G without any luck. Doing this fixed it all. Thanks for the suggestion!
Which third party dialers do folks recommend? I'm really missing the HTC dialer which will lookup numbers if you start typing in either a name or number, the SE xperia arc dialer is just pants.
I am using " Go Dialer", it work just fine with intelligent dialer and possible to change theme outlook
Was using dialer one for a while, and it was great. Then the app got updated and all of a sudden required permissions for just about everything on the phone - didnt trust the author, so uninstalled.
Currently using... um... dialer2, which from the name i'm guessing is a response to the bloatware and permissions creep of dialerone. It's a nice simple fast t9 dialer, it's free, and it works great.
Touchpal dialer works best for me.

Thanks folks! let me check these out!
Go Contacts is the best and I think I tried all. They have different themes and the default Go Theme goes well with Arc's dark blue colors. It will be even better if someone can develop a theme for this dialer which will make it look exactly like Arc dialer.
@piercewei
Did you manage to find the stock dialer app in the end? Which one is it? As I'm also having trouble finding it. The contacts app on my phone doesn't have clear defaults button enabled.
Tried to set rocketdial as default instead of "contacts" .. doesnt do the trick.
Cant find any "default" dialers at all on xperia arc.
How do you guys really do when you change the dialer? do you live with the stock dialer at incoming calls and during calls?

I'd really want to know the answer to this question! I'm struggling with the same problem with Xperia Pro.
The Sony Ericsson default dialer sucks, but I'm unable to make a third party dialer THE DEFAULT dialer.
Any help would be useful!

[Q] Dialer default view

Is there any way to tell the dialer to show the call log or contacts page on startup? Having it show the dialpad is really inconvenient as maybe only 1% of my calls are new numbers I have to manually type.

I tried touchpal which was great on my X8, but somehow on the arc it does not clear missed calls from the notification bar. The stock dialer is not bad, but annoying for the reason above.
Will try the miui dialer, thanks!
edit - I just read that the ex (miui) dialer can not yet be set as default, so it won't suit my purposes

[Q] any possible way to have a shortuc or widget to hidden menu / *#*#4636#*# ????

*#*#4636#*#
how to create a shortcut or widget to this menu?
store it into your contacts and add a widget to this contact.
I have tried that , unfortunately it try to ring this "number" so it doesnt work this way.

Looks like you dial the number he posted in the first post

Try with this code
*#*#7378423#*#*
There's two separate hidden menus
*#*#SERVICE#*#* (or) *#*#7378423#*#*
*#*#INFO#*#* (or) *#*#4636#*#*
If you want to change the SMS Service Centre number, you'll need to do it through the INFO menu.
So noone knows how to create widget / shortcut for those "hidden menus"
???
It would be nice to have that instead of "dialing the combination"
thanks
You can try an USSD checker app but not sure if it will work because it normally starts with an asterisk (*) and ends with a hash (#).

Do a search for 4636v2 on Google Play. There is a shortcut that you can download and put on your homescreen that will do this.
Download ' Hidden Menus ' from Google Play store.
