Copied a phone number to clipboard from chrome browser, couldn't paste it into the number entry in phone dialler app.
Anyone else get this? It's going to be a problem for me I think

Try exDialer from Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modoohut.dialer :good:

No, it doesn't. It has in every other android phone I've used, including other xperias.

Same here, pasting from Chrome doesn't work. If I paste the number into a draft text message, re-copy it, I can then paste into dialer. Not really a solution, but a work around at least.
so:
Chrome -> dialer = no paste
Chrome -> text ->dialer = fine.
weird!
Just tried the same with Firefox: worked
Chrome on the same webpage: couldn't paste the number to dialer. But double tapping the phone number in Chrome offered me to dial directly...
Might be a problem with Chrome....
Just before someone starts asking: stock firmware, unrooted
Anyone have select text problems?
Magnifying glass instead select option.
For example from Textra and Total Commander text editor.

How do you enable dialing contacts by spelling out their name on the dial pad? This was my most heavily used feature on my TB. I'm hoping I don't have to flash a custom rom just for this! .. thx!
I know I'm using the exDialer which supports both speed dial (long press a single number) and the dial by name feature. Both of which are lacking from the stock dialer.
I'm also using exDialer and I like it a lot. Way better than the stock dialer.
After you bring up the dialer hit the search button bottom right.

Yes that feature sux as it requires 5+ clicks as opposed to dialing it directly....
honestly there are tons of features that are just missing from this phone that I used all the time on my TB...
like a global search button (?!? wtf google) I never use the google search bar... and I wish I could reverse the home / back buttons...and remove altogether the recent apps button (I never use that either).... i guess my only option is a custom rom? any good ones out there that allow this? Or do I have to replace the launcher? I'd rather not do that tho bc i dont want any lag..... thx!
I use exdialer as well. If you're on a custom rom, there's a cm9 dialer that adds this functionality, but it doesn't work on stock roms.
Use the microphone icon on the google search bar on the homepage. "Call Dave on mobile". Works fine for me.

Yea I'm sure it works but I'd rather not announce who im calling to the whole room sometimes... dial by voice has its benefits but its just not for me I guess..

I'm also using exContacts along with Desktop VisualizeR to replace the stock dialer/contacts launch icons. That way it looks stock but opens the extools.

Oh sweet... thanks!
This was actually something that I thought would be included in ICS stock dialer. Really surprised Google hasn't figured this one out yet. Oh well.
As many others have already stated, exDialer is a free app available on the market that satisfies all your smart-dialing needs. There's even a free ICS theme available as well. I truly love this dialer in comparison to the stock ICS dialer, which was lacking so much - which I noticed right away when I got my GNex. All is well now though with exDialer installed.
Texting as well?
A little off topic but today I transferred all my contacts from my Evo3d to my Nexus. This evening I tried to send a text message and thought I could just type the contact's name into the To: field and have the phone pick it up from my contacts list. It didn't happen. Am I missing something?
thx ill check it out
one weird thing that i've noticed is the avatars for my friends in the contact list is super low resolution for some reason... its the contacts that have facebook "linked" to each contact - any idea how to fix this? It should be showing the full resolution of the image not a 120x120 pixelated image.....
also how to search the contact list for duplicates? HTC does this automatically and suggests that contacts be "linked"..... but on the GN, you have to do it contact by contact which is a PITA when you have 400+ contacts..... ideas? Thx everyone for the help!

switch to go sms pro - its much better than the stock app! be sure to disable the notifications of the stock sms app after u install it.
Pure Android Nexus & AOSP Roms don't include the feature the OP is looking for.
Just to answer the OP's question, pure Google Android Nexus phones have never included the feature you are looking for, same goes for most AOSP roms. CM doesn't include it either.
Seems silly, I don't know why, I always dial people by putting in the first few letters of their name also and the number pops up. Wish the pure Nexus line included that.
I like the idea of the pop up browser, but would only use from time to time. For apps asking how to open up a link, I tell them to open using my default browser always because that's how I want to view most of the time.
Is there a way to call up the pop up browser on demand from links? I'm thinking if I could long tap a link or double tap a link, it could open the link in the pop up browser. Keep in mind the source of the link could be any app, another browser, G+, Facebook, etc.
I know there is a mod to launch a stand alone popup browser, but I don't think that solves what I am asking about.
The developers of Air Calc have had a floating browser for a long time. They are currently making it available for 4.0+ android devices, i believe. I tried to download it to my Note 2 but it is not yet available.

...or at least offer "open link in popup browser" as a choice...that would have been the right way to implement this, because heck if I'm going to leave the defaults off so that 99.99999% of the time when I click a link destined for a full browser I then have to select "Browser" and then press "Just Once" all to open a simple web page. At the very least they could have put in a checkbox in the app selector box that would select the tapped browser in "Just Once" mode the moment you tap, so you don't have to confirm each time.
Sorry, I don't have a solution, I'm just completely echoing your sentiment about this.
I have a bookmark on the home screen that is defaulted to the pop up browser.
It is the only way I know to get the pop up browser on demand.
I press and hold link, copy url, press home button, hit my bookmark (I renamed pop up), then paste the url.
Hope this helps.
You can set the pop-up browser as default and hit the button on the top left to open the page up in the regular explorer.
Only problem is that this will open the stock browser. Which is frustrating if you usually use a third party browser like me!
Does anybody know how to make the top left button in the pop-up browser open Chrome rather than the stock browse?
That would be nice because I have all my data synced to Chrome.

Mine automatically opens in chrome when I click the top left button without setting anything up, I checked and there are no defaults set for either.

How did you accomplish this? Is there a pop up settings menu to set your default browser?
For everyone, floating browser flux in the play store might be an option.

Any way you can get the default dialer app to display the numpad when opening up? It's relatively unhelpful when it just displays a bunch of white space.

Well if you open the app, bring up the dial pad and close it but leave it in memory it should open back up the way you left it.

So you don't have "favorites"?? I thought everyone had those....
I'd put the people I call/text/email the most in favorites that way they show up. If you don't want to do this then open the dialer> open up keypad> then hit home button. Re-open dialer and keypad pops up on mine

It does open favorites by default. Favorites are helpful, but on ROMs like HTC Sense, the number pad opens when you launch the dialer and you can either dial a number right away or use the letters on the number pad to type the first few letters of a contact name to search for someone and then hit call.
I guess these are some of the finesse things that change among ROMs and I could download a different dialer app in the play store.

When opening a link from a text, it opens in a window, but it never fully loads. It did this on my first Note 7 and now on my new one. I have to go to the top right menu button and choose Open In Browser.
How do I stop it from opening in this app first, and go straight to my browser?
Thanks.
So far as I can tell, you can't. You can use a different message app though. I'm using True Messenger. A few things I don't like about it, but it does solve that problem.

Is there a way to open two instances of the same application? For instance if I wanted to compare two different items, see pictures attached, is there a way to open up a whale browser on the main screen and one on the second screen?
It would be super slick if I could pull one of the tabs over to the second screen. Possibly using a three-finger gesture like the V60.
the three finger gesture is coming, LG just released that update in korea

That's great news.. Until then I found a crowbar way of doing it. It's not elegant but it works.
Ignore text see 2 posts below for solution.
1. Download and install "clone app" from the Play Store.
2. Backup the APK file for the application you want to use on both screens. ( I used assistant for Android)
3.open clone app and "add app" .
4. Add shortcut to clone app on your second screen.
5. Open primary app on the main screen. Open clone app on the second screen. Select Your cloned app. Now you're running two instances of the same app.
It's a bit messy and the Clone app is full of ads. I wanted to get something like this (see link below ) working. But I did not have a test user. I have one more idea to try tonight after work.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...60-install-app-dual-app-parallel-app-t4112393
How do you add the shortcut to the small screen? When I create a shortcut on the app, it goes to the main screen. I don't see a way to get it to the secondary screen.
I'm using Nova Launcher. It may not be available on stock launcher. Nova Launcher also allows normal use of the main screen when you have the phone winged open
All right. Here's the elegant solution.
1.You have to download WhatsApp first and install it as a dual app on settings.
2.Then fire up ADB Type:
adb shell pm list users
3. Check your 'test user' number is
4. adb install --user 'test number' test.apk
Test.apk is the name of the APK file you wish to install in the ADB folder.
5. Wait a few minutes for success message.

Anyone figure out how to sign into both the apps @ the same time with the same account?

Even with stock launcher. You should be able to Long hold on an app in the app drawer. And drag it on to the small screen's home screen.
Has anybody figured out how to log into the same account with a cloned app? For instance. I have whale browser and a cloned whale browser. It will not let me log into the same account on both of those. I had to create a secondary account and duplicate favorites and bookmarks. It would be nice if I could log them both onto One account.
