Greetings.
Whenever I type a telephone number that I wish to dial, my cellphone (LG Optimus Black P970) separates the numbers in a weird way, e.g:
014-191-234-5678
I have an hypothesis that it's because of the cellphone language, not sure though. I live in Brazil, and here the cellphones usually display the dialed numbers like this:
(041 19)1234-5678
Is there anyhow to change this displaying form? Much appreciated.
Regards, Daniel.
Hum... I guess that's because it is meant to display numbers in the "american way" because it is also displaying like that and I see no options. I'm dealing with that and it doesn't interfer with calling or messaging.
Maybe if you use another app for your contacts it would be like you want ?

I guess I will just have to get used to it... It's better than switching back to Portuguese language.

Here's what's up:
Depending on what what network (GSM or CDMA) your receiving the txt from, it will split. If a message is going from CDMA to GSM or vise versa, the message will split due to some technology differences. While GSM to GSM or CDMA to CDMA will not split. So it doesn't matter what app you use, results will be the same although I think GO SMS has the option to kind of group consecutive messages a couple seconds a part.
Don't blame the phone or Android.
That's the answer to your question in a nutshell. You really can't "fix" the incompatability of the 2 technology types.
Just my 2 cents since I used to wonder the same thing. Now I accepted it and thanked myself for owning a phone with threaded messaging and moved on with life lol

Thanks bro for clear explanation
I wonder if Handscent can have this option I ll try Go SMS to see if i like it
No problem!
I tried handcent once, but GO is just so much better to be completely honest. Its also faster.

Hi. I'm using galnet miui 3.4 but I have been getting this problem since version one.
Sometimes all of my contact number changes to have "-" symbol every 3 digit except last one.
For example, if I saves my contact as 0430123456, oneday it becomes 043-012-3456
This is very annoying because if it becomes like that, when I receive a call or message, I don't get contacts name but only number.
This "-" symbol number system works in Korea as far as I know and I am using kakao talk app which is Korean made and I suspect it.
I think this one or my other app changes my number but I don't know how to prevent it or fix it easily.
Is there any app which removes - symbol easily?
Thanks in advance and have a nice day!
Edit**
I just tried to change number in the phone and I think the miui contact is keeping the number in that format.
Does anyone know how to disable this feature? Thank you

Hi, I live in Holland and our zip code contains 4 numbers and 2 letters. In the contact app I can enter the numbers, but it does not accept letters.
Contacts I already had, they have normal zip codes, 4 numbers and 2 letters.
Am I missing something obvious? Do I need to change country settings? Or is this a bug? Or something else?
I would like to hear about your experiences.

I have exactly the same problems, I don't get it?
Didnt noticed it yet, but same problem here also, with Google contacts
Is it just me or there is no option of phonetic names in the contact app in sp 4.1.. whereas it is a fucntion of android 4.1..?? any solution?
any body?
Not sure what you mean phonetic names?
When in contacts I can see down the right hand side letters and if chosen will take you to that letter.
Or if in dialler I can spell name and it shows what numbers or named are linked..
Don't think this is what you mean but could you explain a bit more what it is you can't do.

phonetic names are assigned to the contacts for voice recognition simplicity. All names are not english and google voice recognizer often missspells the contact name. phonetic names allow you to record the name in your voice to easily call the contact or send a text message to it through google now. Its a feature of android 4.1 but I can't find it in any of the sony phones that i have used. follow the above link
I have tried sending the Google contacts app to my Sp but I get a parsing error.
Would another contacts,dialler work.....never really used voice dialing

its basically useful when using google now, in calling and send messages through it. but google now doesnt recognize names other than english or the given language.. phonetic names allow it to recognize it in your own voice.. but cant find it in my phone
I have just tried whitemamba aio pack and in this is the people app which allows phonetic names maybe this will help you.

Okay I will try.. But still curious that why did Sony removed this feature of Google now.. Odd

What I mean is when I try to select individual letters with the phone keypad in XT9 mode, it always puts a space between every letter. Like I'm the 3rd, so I use III a lot, but when I hit i and select it from the bar above the keypad, then the next time I hit i there's automatically a space, and I can't seem to make it stop doing it.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Any ideas at all? ^^;
Turn off auto corrrect?
Oddly, I can't seem to find that setting.
Sent from my 831C using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you are using the stock keyboard, I just tried it in XT9 because for the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would still be using that keypad. And no spaces here. I hold down the GHI select I and do it 2 more times, no spaces.
I just can't figure it out. I think I had a problem like this with my M7, and I think someone helped me fix it, but I don't remember how. It really seems like there's settings that aren't being shown that should fix it.
Any chance there'd be a way to uncover more settings somehow?

Any more ideas? It's so annoying for this to be acting like this.

Sounds like when you choose the "i" in the upper bar, the phone thinks you're wanting it to just be an I and it automatically adds the space in preparation of the next word....what happens if you just type "iii"? It should realistically let you type that and then you can choose that combo to save in your phones dictionary. Hope that makes sense and helps you out...let me know

I have the III saved so it does just put it in without spaces. It's any other time I have to add any word that bothers me. It shouldn't force a space when I go to spell some things by c h o o s i n g individual letters from the top bar. I've never had any other version of sense do that before, and it really feels like I'm missing a layer of settings for text input somewhere. It's just bothersome that I wouldn't be able to turn something like that on and off.
I've tried turning on and off the other settings in that field, and it didn't stop the spaces from auto adding. I actually have to add a space then backspace between every letter I need to individually choose.
Driving me batty, it is. lol

I just tried to recreate what you're describing, I see how the space thing comes into play when choosing individual letters now...then I turned off word prediction and then it stopped adding a space but it also got rid of the top row with words/letters your currently typing...may I ask why you'd be typing individual letters and choosing them instead of just typing the word til it's completed? That's the only area I'm still confused about.

Sometimes there's things I type that aren't in the dictionary or my phone doesn't want to type "on" or "go" or other two letter words sometimes for no reason, then I have to type them with individual letters. The things that aren't in the dictionary are things I don't typically use on a regular enough basis to add, or when I'm typing capcha codes and the like.
I think it bothers me more that I can't simply make it not do it without disabling something I frequently use. I could've swore that there was another layer of settings that was specifically for the XT9 keyboard.

Did you make sure English is the default language for the keyboard?...I had an issue where I would be typing and some common words kept getting switched to weird/foreign words, come to find out somehow my language got switched to Spanish I think it was. Just another idea...I'm running out of other ideas, sorry
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
It is on English. I did find I settling in Swype for auto spacing, but it didn't do anything for me either. ; ;
