How to add recent contact to contacts? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently got a call from a friend which I would like to add to my contacts. Unfortunately, when I hold down I only get a delete option. I know I can manually put it in, but isn't there a way to hold down for a add menu?

Don't long press the number. Just press it like you're opening an app. It'll give you the option to add to contacts as well as a "more" feature you can use to block numbers.

Only shows block or delete number. No option to save.

They appear to be in there some where. Go to contacts on your phone. Hit the menu button then display. Make sure all options are selected to view. Phone, sim, google

The preinstalled widget on nulls rom that says "Direct Message"......I can get Direct Call to work but when i press on the direct message widget it takes me to Titanium backup form some reason....
as far as i know, you can't message from gear yet. direct dial do work, but not messaging.
Direct messaging ? I dont recall anything like this..
You sure you didnt have AOSP messages installed or something ? Cause I didnt include anything related to texts/messages..
If i look in my available widgets i also have an option for direct message. When i put it on the desktop with a contact selected it just says "App isn't installed". I'm assuming that direct dial only works if you have gearmanager installed on your phone? I tried to setup a contact and it just shows the dialing screen and doesn't do anything on the phone.

Could be apart of contacts in that case.. must includes a direct message widget also.
The direct dial should work fine, when the gear initiates a call it makes it on the host phone.

I believe it is. There is a direct message and a direct dial widget right next to each other.
I still have the issue where when I select either of them my contacts come up blank. I have contacts on the watch, they just do not show on that widget. They used to.
Any ideas?

I tried the direct dial, worked fine.. make sure you add your contacts to the aosp contacts app in your app drawer it does not pull your contacts from your phone.
Although direct message does not work.. I believe because there is no messaging app installed.

Yeah i understand what your saying about having not messaging app installed but i thought maybe it would be possible to give you the option to send a predefined message or s voice message. For some reason when I click on it it opens Titanium Backup. not a huge deal just thought it would be cool to click on the widget and send an s voice message or predefined message I had saved

Thats weird man, no idea what could be causing that.. In reality nothing has changed in that department since the last update..
In regards to predefined text replys, I believe there is a APK Samsung have included for this already.. In theory if we could call that popup in a app, perhaps you could select a reply...
Im just spit balling tho, I haven't tested or even looked at it yet.
If you want to see what im talking about create a shortcut using novalauncher to "Select reply".
EDIT: Decided to have a look of the source of the reply apk I mentioned, sadly thats not going to work ! Back to the drawing board.

Your the best F0mey....not a big deal...i was just messing with it and thought it was strange it brought me to titanium backup and then thought how it would be cool if i could send an svoice message or predefined text but its not really a necessity.

Question after update to 9.1.0311

Hello guys,
After I updated to 9.1,i noticed a weird behavior in the notification bar.
Before the update, when I had email notifications I had two options, to either click on the top right arrow of the email banner and expand the emails (some of them only shown) in the drop down notification menu, or to click directly on the banner and afterwards I was redirected in the email app, showing the inbox list.
After the update, if I click on the Gmail banner, it only expands the emails, regardless of I click on the arrow or wherever, but I have to select a particular email in order to be redirected to the Gmail app;after that it takes me straight to this particular email and not to the email list of the app,whereas before it was taking me to the email list.
I take it that this is either a bug, or a change of function.
The question is, is there any way to change the function? I am using my work email in which I receive maybe 600-1000emails per day and it is a PITA to get in a random email first and then to have to go back in order to see the email list..
Any ideas? Am I missing something?
P. S: of course this behaviour is not only in the Gmail app, but in all apps with multiple notifications
Cheers

Maybe it is a new function since some people complained about not being able to expand notifications
Same here!
And it's really annoying...
Looking for a way to get it back

I have no idea really. I was using this function maybe 50 times per day and now I have to bother going straight to the app, Gmail notifications are now useless to me given that I receive more than 600 emails per day, so the 3-4 expanded emails are pointless if I then have to go back, then go to the second home screen, then click again the app, to go to the same point I was with only one click before the update..

Maybe try one of the many email apps that might work for your specific needs? Gmail app is fine for average users not power users with so many emails.
Things change and our Huawei device is meant for consumers.
Good luck!

But it is not only the email app thingy, this is a change in the function of the notifications as a whole, it is just more of a pita with my email because I am checking it all the time..
Regerdless of the app, all the notifications now only expand and do not redirect you to the native app, but only to a particular notification. It is just stupid, they changed they way the notifications have been since android implemented more than a single notification for the apps. The primary function should be to take you in the app itself.. [emoji23]

Hmm I wasn't able to check that function yet but I do see a option in the Gmail app that only allows the one initial notification. Inbox notifications >> notify only once. Maybe that would work for you.

Thanks for the input mate. However as I said, this is not a Gmail issue per se, but a general change in function of the notifications, regardless of the app.
In order to elaborate, let's say that you have WhatsApp notification in the bar (more than one single msg).. When you click on the notification it just expands, you cannot be redirected in the app, you can only click on one of the notifications and go straight into this particular msg.
Same applies to FB, to play store updates, to whatever app.
Let's hope that they will change this in the next updates.

I am sure it is a Huawei thing, since the last update retained the same android version and just upgraded the Emui ver..

Unfortunately the problem persists, even after. 328 update.
I really wish that we could somehow change the function. It is really pita to have to either go directly to one of the msgs in the notification, or to have to go back and then enter the app from the app menu of homescreen. Totally counterintuitive.

Really don't understand why they screwed this...
Same on p30pro
What about mate or other series?
As said : Anyone with an other phone brand / rom (if rooted) could check if this only happens with the last huawei updates?
Need to know if it only huawei 'pitifully' related :'(
