Google Dialer problem with pop up default dialer - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After having selected the Google dialer as my default, I continuously am asked the question which dialer do you want to use it as your default dialer when I highlight a number and then ask to dial it. Is it me or are others having this problem as well? I'm running Android 4.4.

I'm having the same issue. I'm running Android 4.4 and Nova launcher. I've tried setting as default different dialers but when I click a missed calls notification I get the pop up asking for which dialer to use. I think I'm not getting the same as you when highlighting a number and calling, it straigh away shows the in-call screen.

has anyone ever figured out a way around this? the only thing i could think of was to modify the stock dialer.apk to remove the recent calls default intent, but i haven't been able to figure out a way to do that...i haven't been able to get services.jar decompiled to take the signature check out.

[Q] CM7's Dial Pad

Hey just a question here if someone could help me out.
Wanting to know if there's an option to turn on the "search contacts" option on the dial pad in CM7.
Anyone remember how with the stock rom you could press say...666 for m.o.m. and be able to press that when it came up to call?
It was basically a built in search option for the contacts. Be it corresponding numbers or corresponding letters.
Is this an option with CM7? Cause I really, really, really miss that option.
So much easier to search numbers by pressing letters than it is trying to remember numbers or scrolling contacts.
Anyone know about that? Thanks again for all the help guys!
press the "genius button " and start typing the name.
You can't do that CM7 dialer. Get Go Contacts or dialer one from market. This dialpad has the search feature your looking for.

Awesome. Thanks. But which one of these do you recommend?
And how would I set it as the default dialer?
Try GO contacts, you'll probably stick with it. How make default? In the beginning whenever you try to launch contacts if there are several options you'll be asked which application you want to run (or complete action with)- plus the option to make your choice as default (you can always revert it from 'manage applications').
what will happen is, that after choosing the number in the method you wanted (either typing numbers or letters) and you'll press the dial button- it will use cm7 dialer anyway, but with the numbers you've asked for, which is fine anyway. As far as I know you can't change this.
Also when you answer incoming calls it's with cm7 dialer.
Don't know which launcher you're using, but consider also giving a try to GO launcher too, it's a pretty good one too.

How to clear notifications with 3rd party apps

Hey when I use go dialer its not clearing out missed calls I have to go into the original one to make them go away using the latest cyanogenmod . Reason I use go dialer is that the original one don't have smart searching.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yeah, I just noticed this, as well, that it doesn't clear the missed calls notification. Strange, as it does work with Go SMS. Odd...
By the way, you're using a Desire HD? So do I and the original dialer does have smart searching. You can either press the numbers if you know part of the phone number or you can press the letters of a name and it will find that as well. And with press I mean 'tap' of course.
Are You talking about stock ROM or cyanogenmod when you say the dialer has smart search
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
The stock ROM. CyanogenMod's dialer doesn't support smart search.

Dialer one has the option to clear missed calls, try it out, see if it fits you...

Yeah it works but I want to stick with go contacts
I have the same problem. I'm using Go Contacts EX and its really frustrating to open native phone app, just to clear missed call notifications
still nobody found a solution? I'm using CyanogenMod 7.0.3-DesireHD
Download Titanium Backup, navigate to Go Contacts in the app list in TB, and long press it, then select "Convert To System App". That will allow Go Dialer to clear the missed call notification!

Changing default dialer

This may not be specific to the S4 but is there a way to change the default dialer to Go Dialer. I don't care much for the default dialer's aesthetics and would like to use something more customizable. I haven't had any luck. The only options I get after clearing the defaults for the stock phone and contacts app is Phone and my Sophos.
Go.

Im guessing your talking about Go Contacts EX while on your dial pad hit your menu key themes and you can download some I like the Iceblue Theme.
Im referring to changing the default dialer from stock to go contact/dialer. Even when intiating a call from go contacts the stock dialer and sophos are the only options I get to select from after defaults are cleared from the stock phone and contact apps

I'd like to know how to do this too, trying to use Dialer One as the default dialer, but I see no way to modify this.
I have the same problem. Just got Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. Dialer I am using to setup - Rocket Dial Pro version.
But there are only are only Phone and Skype apps in "Complete action using" dialog box.
Tried to reinstall Rocket Dial, add/remove from device administrators. I must admit, phone IS NOT rooted!
I will try to contact Rocket Dial developer, as I am using commercial version.
Likewise Motorola XT910

Similar RocketDial problem with Motorola XT910 (except different "complete action using" options).
Any useful response from developer? Thanks.

How to change out the stock dialer for calls?

When I first setup my phone, I was asked which app I wanted to use for calls. I just chose the stock dialer, I decided I really don't like it but the phone doesn't show in the app manager and people doesn't show it as the default.
Do I need to factory reset my phone to change this?
I would say go into the current dialer settings under app and clear it's defaults

I've noticed something annoying with the dialer on the HTC 10 that was never an issue on my HTC One M8.
I often like to answer an incoming call, and immediately move the call to speakerphone, before even saying, "Hello." With the M8 I could press the "answer call" button, and immediately press the speakerphone button and say, "Hello." With the HTC 10, however, after pressing the button to answer the call, the speakerphone button is not immediately available. There is a delay of perhaps 1-2 seconds before I can select the speakerphone button. Are others experiencing the same thing? If so, does anyone have a solution?

Go to Settings - Apps. Top right side is 3 dots... Hit that then choose Configure Apps. In there you would see Set Default. In there you can choose the Google Dialer as the default Phone app.
I've just tried this and the default dialer changes from Sense To Google. However, when in a call, none of the Google Dialer buttons work. The mute does not mute. The speakerphone does not turn on the speakers. Oh, and the phone also rings silently. When trying to change the notifications, it says this app does not have permission to change system settings...

That is it, however, weird I picked contacts+ as my dialer but it still goes to the HTC dialer, I guess I'll have to wait for Verizon to get rooted and Roms to come available to switch it out. Thank you for the help

How to change the call screen?

Sorry in advance if this was something easily found by googling, but all I get is "note 9 (useless) tips and tricks".
To the point. No matter what phone app I set as default, I still get the default call screen. Is there some way I can change it? I would really like to have the google phone call screen or truecaller's.

No solution for this?
Did you try with Google phone mod?

Still the default call screen. I even disabled the default phone app, but then I had no call screen at all )
Works on my end. Installed modded g dialer... Settings/apps/default apps/set default calling app......pops up google dialer instead of sammy (personally I prefer it, but just tested for you cause I was intrigued)

I don't know why, but this time, when I changed the default dialer, it worked on changing the call screen as well.
Help changing in call screen to a photo if possible
Is there a app that can do this or can someone design something that can
did you try the permission settings with the phone app you want, i.e., always allow etc?
Need a way to change in-call screen
Someone needs to create a way to do this on the note 9.:angel:
