updated app and post!

Done.

Also, app has been updated.

v1.2

- New customization options (three new service icons)

- Minor bug fixes
[Android Apps and Games] astmacca:
Useful app that i would love to try. However......

Remembering the "speed dial" numbers is do-able no prob. But would it be possible to have the option of drawing of drawing initials??

To set it up so i could draw JM or CL ect... to get a contact that the app has linked to that input??

Just a thought.
[Android Apps and Games] balisong13:
I really like this app it works well but if I may I would like to suggest that if its possible to add the ability to draw out a complete 7 digit number and save it for those occasions when you need to take down a new phone number. I think that kind of functionality would be tremendously useful especially if it can be done from the lock screen. Again just a suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] raminjpr:
thanks for sharing ur app...:) :) keep rocking

thanks for sharing ur app...:) :) keep rocking...will update the review after playing with it..:) :)
[Android Apps and Games] sinnerghost:
Awesome app. Patent this right away dude or an OEM is gonna use it as a "new" feature.
[Android Apps and Games] Esj618:
Nice app and very useful especially on the lock screen. Suggest that once enabled icon should be invisible from the lockscreen but is running in the background. What do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] djkmito:
great app but useless with talkback for my blind dad
[Android Apps and Games] dejan-:
very nice idea, couse with ICS and furthermore we lost speed dial in phone app (it was present in froyo and GB)

but it needs work...i tested, it's soo hard to recognize #1 or #9....then for example ...contact was saved #1 ...i draw 5 to test ....it said...there is no contact on 5 but it dials the 1

or i draw 8 and it wants 3...etc.

but overall realy great idea...was looking for speed dial app
[Android Apps and Games] FanKryations:
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the app. I am working on ways to make the handwriting recognition more successful. In the meantime, see if you have better results with different brush sizes.
[Android Apps and Games] JimHuff:
I 2nd the request for a shortcut. I would also be happy with an invisible or pure black tab icon.

Let me say, however, that this is a great concept and I hope you continue to develop it. You should add a "Donate" button so people can really show their support.
[Android Apps and Games] dejan-:
yea...and if the app will be successfull...maybe a pro or donate version..anway...version without ADS (hate ads) :)
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
I like the app so far. Is it possible to add a box it enable speaker..??
[Android Apps and Games] drjamit:
Need it on Sammy Lock Screen

Fantastic of fantastic App.

Need the icon on touch screen so that no need to unlock the phone first.
[Android Apps and Games] FanKryations:
A box to enable the speaker? I'm sorry I did not quite understand you.
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
You draw the number & the dialer comes up to make call...having an option to turn speaker on would just save the user 1 step...from doing this themselves.
[Android Apps and Games] FanKryations:
I will definitely add a shortcut and a visibility option on next update.

I am seriously considering the Donate button as well.
[Android Apps and Games] kirby_blue:
Could someone tell me in which way this is different from sign ?
[Android Apps and Games] ashishshevale:
there is also gesture call app similar to this app

But draw2dial has some innovative space

well done

v1.3 is out!

I wish I had the time to release this earlier but anyway...

Here goes v1.3

So whats new?

Features

-Select between Left and Right and adjust Icon Visibility to your liking, for a better user experience.

Fixes

-Fixed the Youtube FC and the Number Format FC bugs.

Improvements

-Introducing Smart Detection. When enabled, smart detection will look only for numbers that are currently in use. This increases success rate and reduces errors. It is now available in Settings and is Enabled by default for new installs.

-Also, parts have been rewritten for optimization purposes.

I must say, feedback has been great so far. Many wonderful comments and ideas for improvement. So keep it coming...

Also, as suggested, I updated the opening post with a donate link for anyone who want to show their support.
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
Invisible set by default...took me a min to get icon back...lol
[Android Apps and Games] JimHuff:
Sign is nice and has more options. The nice thing about Draw2Dial is that it works from anywhere.

This developer is very responsive.

[Android Apps and Games] FanKryations:
Thank you for pointing it out. I was so focused on functionality I guess I missed it.
[Android Apps and Games] FanKryations:
I added the Smart Recognition feature for users who have had issues previously. Any feedback on it would be appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] dejan-:
Well... There's still an issue with the numbers...also with this smart mods, for example:

I had contacts on 1-5...and i tried 6,but it called #5...or even #1

And specially hard is to draw 1. 1 is almost everytime recognised as 4 and so is 7

I have an idea how to solve this but dunno if it's possible but then again it wouldn't be a drawing anymore.

Instead of number draw, after pressing the button, the #pad would appear and u would simple press desired number.

In both ways, there are only 2 steps:

1.button press, 2.number draw (current)

or

1.button press, 2.number press (just that here, no mistake is possible)
[Android Apps and Games] FanKryations:
As is, no matter what you draw, the engine will look for the number that matches your drawing the most. I am still working on ways to make it more efficient.

With smart recognition enabled, the engine will try and match your drawing with the numbers that you have assigned to contacts. So if you have contacts on 1-5 and draw a 6, depending on how you draw it, it will match it with a number within the 1-5 range. This may work for some and others may find it annoying, that is why it is a optional feature.

I tested it with 6 contacts assigned for about a week and saw much better results and that is why I implemented it. As I said, I am working on some ideas to make it better and will release an update once I see results. Got a few more features coming as well.

Thank you for the feedback once again.
[Android Apps and Games] dejan-:
yea...that i undestand fully...but i can't draw numbers better then i did :D was drawing nicely, heh....

what about my idea ?...that when u would press your button, the pad would appear, like for example: (just made a concept)

with this mode, u couldn't fail...if u know what i mean....maybe it could be an alternative to drawing, that u would choose in settings ;)
[Android Apps and Games] FanKryations:
I must admit that I like it even though it deviates from the whole concept of the app.

I will get to it after releasing the update I am working on.

It would be great if more people commented on this concept, if they like it or not.
[Android Apps and Games] dejan-:
yea...it is out of concept, heh, that'sway maybe as alternative option in settings :)
[Android Apps and Games] antukubo:
Yes it can solve some issues BUT the main concept is 'draw' and that is the reason your app is unique compares to other speed dial apps. FYI, I don't have any issue to draw 0 ~ 9 on my Motorola Defy and S3 Mini.
[Android Apps and Games] dejan-:
i don't have issue to draw 0 - 9 also...just app is recognizing it wrong sometimes :p
[Android Apps and Games] djkmito:
Very nice app but I need more than 2 sec for draw number with talkback - accesibility screen reader

..thanks
[Android Apps and Games] FanKryations:

Need BETA TESTERS

As I wrote in the opening post, I am working on the next update.

I will add a lockscreen and a home screen widget. I have minimal experience with both and don't wanna miss anything,

sooo, anyone willing to test it out and report back, leave a comment with a way to contact you and you will hear from me soon.

Also, any lockscreen tips or wisdom of any kind, is welcome!

Thank you all, so so much!
[Android Apps and Games] antukubo:
Agreed on that. Some suggestions

1. Double tap on any homescreens to activate it (I'm using Holo Launcher and it got double tap gesture to activate any app)

2. A standby Draw2Dial colum on notification panel. Swipe down status bar and tap to activate it

So, we don't need to have any widget at all. BTW, I'm willing to be your beta tester.
[Android Apps and Games] Kurotsuchi:
that app that I was looking for, TOTALLY AMAZING, thank you so much Dev!
[Android Apps and Games] dejan-:

[Android Apps and Games] FanKryations:
These are really good ideas and I've added them in my plans for future updates. I will keep the widget though.
[Android Apps and Games] djkmito:
can you add this feature in latest update?
[Android Apps and Games] FanKryations:
New Update

Hello everyone, today I am posting a long long overdue update for Draw2Dial.

Originally I had big plans for this update, I wanted to add a lockscreen, but unfortunately due to time restrictions I never got it satisfyingly functional. I had a few other things done so, for the time being, I dropped the lockscreen.

In v1.4 you will find that you can now adjust how much time you are given to draw a number. You will also find a slight overall performance boost due to code optimizations and bug fixes. Finally I removed my secondary ad network and it's ads due to complains I received for them, mainly the slider freezing and not allowing to exit the app from time to time.

Draw2Dial 1.4 is now on Google Play and attached for direct download on the opening post.

As always, suggestions and feedback are more than welcome.
[Android Apps and Games] FanKryations:
Time option has been added to v1.4

What do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] djkmito:
Yes, I exactly meant this. If running TalkBack I still must use two fingers to write number but with long time it's usable.

Thanks

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Samwhaaa:
I wonder if anyone can help me with this issue.

I recently aquired a Qtek 1010 and everything appears to be working fine except for one extremely frustrating problem.

Sometimes the sound drops out. Not just for phone calls but for everything. I can't hear alerts, incoming calls, calls in general or any other system sounds.

I've been through the Boot loader and tested the sound and it works perfectly and tests fine but still doesn't work in the normal mode.

Device details are:

ROM version: 3.18.04 ENG

ROM date: 05/22/03

Radio Version: 3.25.01

Protocol version: 32S54

Please help me!!

Kind of a nub question regarding aosp camera v. TW - when one refers to the TW camera as being superior to aosp, is that because of the features offered or pic quality/software? In other words, does the software make a difference when you have the same processor, same lens, etc.?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crawshayi:
It's mostly the features, but yes there is software processing that happens when you take a pic. For example when the HTC One came out it had overexposure issue, and they pushed out a firmware update to correct this. So basically since the TW camera app was written specifically for Galaxy devices it'll use the camera in a better way than AOSP which is designed to work with pretty much any camera.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
The TW camera app has proprietary stuff that only works with touchwiz. Samsung paid good money for it, and will never give it out.

So, basic if you want the most out of the camera, you'll get it from TW because it can fully optimize it.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryno9100:
Alright. I currently have a 16Gb Galaxy S4 I337 running Crapwiz 4.2.2. (It's TouchWiz, I just hate it).

I'm thinking about trading for a 16Gb Nexus 5. Now here are my concerns, and where I'd like opinions.

I like my S4 because of the Expandable storage. I enjoy spotify, downlaoding my music, having a couple videos, etc. so the expandable storage is a real problem. And I can't find anyone in my area on craigslist that even has a 32Gb for trade.

However. TouchWiz freaking sucks. And due to me getting my S4 AFTER the MF3 update, I can't do anything about it. That's my big desire in getting a Nexus 5. customization. Playing with ROMs. Etc. I love that kind of thing, and not having it is really making me hate AT&T's version of the S4.

Here are my main concerns. Any comments are appreciated, so long as they're relevant :)

Speakers (I normally use headphones, but like to watch videos in bed, and can't wear headphones and sleep. Must be able to overpower a small box fan, as well as being able to hear my phone ring)

Customization (I realize this is Nexus vs Galaxy, but still)

Ease of Access. As a tech guy, this isn't a HUGE deal, but still want opinions

Variety of actualyl decent cases.

Durability of the phone itself

That's all I can think of right now. Honestly, any opinions in any way are appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigant262:
Speakers aren't better then the GS4. Customization is going to be a lot better then the GS4. The phone is a lot more durable than the GS4. What do you mean by ease of access exactly?

I had the GS4. I love the Nexus 5 a lot more than I did the GS4. The Nexus 5 is probably the smoothest Android phone I've ever owned, in terms of how the OS operates.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryno9100:
Ease of Access. I guess I mean just how easy you can run the OS, how easy is it to customize, how easy is it to adjust to Nexus 5's basically vanilla android as opposed to TouchQiz. I expect all the bloatware and crap to be gone, obviously but other than that. Customizing, tweaking phone settings, tuning down the CPU to save battery, etc.

Oh yes. One more huge question for me. Wouldthe Galaxy S4 be compatbile on Straight Talk's network, using an AT&T Sim Card. I know the GSM basebands are the same, but does 3g and 4g work on those basebands or different ones? I'm not 100% sure how the whole baseband system works,other than matching some numbers.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
Hey, at least we received 3 major Android upgrades. This is ALMOST comparable to Galaxy Nexus which started off at 4.0 and ended 4.3. And you can't really blame Sony, Qualcomm didn't release new drivers for Snapdragon S3 SOCs.

I think it's time to move on, even Google is not updating the Galaxy Nexus even where its within the specification. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Ha ha.. sounds funny when u don't know the whole story.. :p Galaxy Nexus won't get 4.3 because Ti OMAP did what Qualcomm did to us.. Same thing.. No drivers from them.. So that being the main reason, Google covering it with 18 months reason.. Also pretty valid.. And for SONY which probably should have been released with 4.0 was released with 2.3, which they have done with all their flagships.. Z with 4.1 when 4.2 was already out, Z1 with 4.2 when 4.3 was out for months.. They are always a generation behind.. Hence we are forced to stay on 4.1.. Its like we only got 2 generations of OS.. Qualcomm might not have given drivers.. But 1 single person brought 4.2 and 4.3 for us, can't SONY, a big international NO.3 mobile company build one?? Lame reason i say.. Cheap parlor tricks.. We just have to fall for it.. :mad::mad:

Thanks to developers such as [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] our xperia s is a great smartphone no matter how do you call the newest android version ;) Maybe in a year from now I'll get xperia z1, z3 or z5, for now I'm really fully satisfied with what I have :) Of course there may be people who really need more power, more possibilities or more anything, and it's not a problem for me, but I think for average user our phone is still more than enough :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SxperiaS:
Well i am no expert but this is my take, as some people are stating Qualcomm isn't releasing any more drivers so Sony can't deliver an 100% stable version, developers release the most stable version possible but with customized drivers (which may not be perfect)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:

To be quite honest if the devs and community are still intact like it is currently for this device then no amount of of sony's paid devs can achieve what has and is being acheieved.

I believe the support of this great community of SXS owners and dedicated devs have made this device so much better than what Sony i still believe cannot achieve.

So a big Shout out to all the DeVS as they have done a fantastic job to a device that had posed a challenge to them thanks
