Been giving this a try and like it overall. Two main gripes:

1. Needs a dark skin that looks more at-home on Gingerbread. The current UI is too iOS for my taste.

2. There should be a button right on each contact in the main contacts list to call their default number (like there is in the standard address book). It's extra steps to select a contact and then select the number you want to call, and even a long-press is less natural.

Otherwise, looking good.
[Android Apps and Games] dilfatx:
Looks like the miui default contacts screen
[Android Apps and Games] kkinder:
There's always a feasible explanation, but really, should a contacts app need to do that? Facebook has an app that integrates contacts with android already.

People could care less. But data mining companies are all about you, way more than you might think. And you're giving away your whole address book to strangers on the Internet.

The fact that mountains of other people are using these apps doesn't really address my concern.
[Android Apps and Games] kkinder:
Tried downloading it to a test phone with not a lot of data on it. Ran it with Wireshark. Didn't see anything. Maybe they are OK, but I'd like to at least know who GO Team is before installing an app like that on my real phone.
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
I don't understand the suspicion for these types of things. The fact that they are chinese always makes it into the conversation. Dolphin Browser is chinese, but nobody gives them ****.

As for being suspicious because there's no way to monetize the apps... I can think of hundreds of apps that don't advertise and get no money. Simi clock/simi folder, are HUGELY popular apps that are free and don't have ads.

Hell, what about custom ROMs for rooted folk? MIUI is all chinese. It's a great and trusted ROM, and it's free.

Anyway, like others I'll have to wait for the facebook contact sync (like a root version or something) and for the app to not link to the original contact pages at all. Contacts are tough, but if anyone can do it, GO dev can. They're basically building a ROM for unrooted phones one by one. It's pretty impressive.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Have I missed the option or is there no way to sort by lastname, firstname instead of sorting by firstname only?
[Android Apps and Games] gogol:
Nice :)

I am waiting to be able to customize the colors.
[Android Apps and Games] kkinder:
Dolphin has a license you can buy, and a clear revenue model.

As for other apps from unknown devs? I just look at the permissions. If it requires Internet access and wants to read my contact data, I move on.

All the ROMs on XDA are hobbiest ROMs. You understand why they were made. I would still think twice about a custom ROM from some ostensibly for-profit company I've never heard of, even if I might trust a ROM from some guy who just does this for fun.

Look, they're probably fine. If they are sneaking away your data, it isn't right away -- that was easily testable in Wireshark. I'm just suspicious of what looks like a for-profit company, goforandroid.com, giving away loads of free apps with lots of permissions but no discernible revenue model.

But that's why Android's permission model exists. It lets you know what you're trusting to whom. I'm just not clear on the whom part.

paste number

On Dialer 2 I can a paste a number I have on the clipboard on the dialer, could the feature be on go contacts? I use it a lot and is very useful.

For the rest, great app!
[Android Apps and Games] Zweistein82:
Hi

first of all: really nice app !... if it gets some improvements i will continue using it...

But i've dicovered a small "bug" in the history of recent calls there is one entry for a number for e.g. 0176 ... and one for +49176... in fact both belong to the same contact - so the dialer should put them together...

Regards!

if go team made a rom with the style thheir programms have(like miui) it would easily be on top.

Hell yes =) I thought about an contacs app from GO Dev at monday =)

Ran into an issue when launching GO Dialer after a while of not using it (a few hours), it would come up with a black screen and sit there for 10 seconds or so before finally loading. Happened a few times.

First of all, I totally understand your concern about the application permission and thank you for your feedback!

GO Dev Team is part of the development teams from the well-known mobile Internet company, 3G Portal (aka 3G.cn). GO Dev Team is dedicated for Android based application development.

3G.cn ranks the #1 mobile portal website in China, with ~30 million daily active users and near 1 billion overall page views. They devolped quite a lot application started from Symbian/KJava/Windows mobile age since 2005, all FREE for use. Their business model comes from mobile website and its related paid service, such as online advertisement, VIP reading, mobile B2C and business solutions.

In China, 3g.cn is a very reliable source of news/sports/entertainment info and mobile applications.

As of permissions, GO Dev Team tried to remain minimized. For better user experience, we included version check and necessary notification module, which requires Internet access to our server. As of Contact access, that's what we cannot bypass for SMS and Contacts software.

We will keep our application Free (even for so-called Extra versions). If possible, upon request like some of user already did, we will think about open a donation channel, OR even make some paid extra themes, but again, monetization is not our priority.

Any question or concern , please let us know goforandroid@gmail.com :)

[Might not be able to reply everyone but we do listen]

Millions of users are using -- GO Laucher, GO SMS, GO Contacts, GO Weather, GO Touch Chinese, GO Browser Chinese and more --

either great app from a great dev team ....I tries it but when I click a contact it take me to the stock contact page and it don't sync Facebook pics so will hi e it another try when more features r added....

They have released a go weather app as well which is.another winner app....go team r unstoppable ....keep up the great work guys
[Android Apps and Games] Gonik:
I downloaded it yesterday and gave it a go.

For some unexplained reason when i checked the option for only Google Contacts to appear, at least 4 of my contacts where not appearing. I know that because these 4, where also in my "Favorites" contacts. The weird part is that 2 more contacts that i have "Starred" were appearing OK. If i checked the "Phone contacts" to appear as-well, then the contacts appeared.

And btw, yes i'm sure that the contacts are avaliable on Google.

The stock app for contacts, is reporting that no contacts are saved in the phone!

The Settings menu needs somehow an improvement in your English translation.

Also it would be nice to seperate Facebook/Twitter/Skype contacts in the settings.

Other than that, it appears an ok job.
[Android Apps and Games] tehloxely:
I like what you are doing here, and will be waiting until this is nice and polished.

- I'm using GO SMS & Launcher and love them both.
[Android Apps and Games] mrkallak:
I like it, but thera are some cons....

Whole application has a nice design but calls history looks worse than in stock app. Another thing - when tapping any phone number found in google default browser, default dialer uses this number as "quick call" and fills number field with tapped number - GO applicaton only opens dialer with blank number field.:mad:
[Android Apps and Games] ASSMO:
Wow, everything the Go Team does, is exactly what the android community wants,

how about a Go Lock Screen?

You guys are the best at knowing what to customize!

Except the top bar in Go Sms, that should really be customizable but other then that its awesome.

So, I say anything you guys touch is gonna be good, and a lockscreen would be BOMB! Go notifications, and everything!

[Android Apps and Games] BlackICE:
Great work!

only one issue: I can not search with the dial buttons for names which have ö ä ü or ß in it. Can you fix that please?
[Android Apps and Games] mrkallak:
Polish special characters lik Ż or Ł are shown in front of all letters instead of after letters Z and L... that is wrong. This causes contacts which starts with one of that letters to be shown as first on the contact list:( Probably the rest polish special characters are showed in the same manner (ĄĆĘŁÓŃŚŻŹ)

Can you fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] tdrussell:
My current major criticism of the dialer is the way it handles call history...i don't understand the logic of grouping calls in this view. Calls should never be "grouped" in call history, because this requires that you expand another selection to see what should be right there. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the grouping either...i have separate entries for calls that occurred within the timeframe of calls that are grouped under a contact. And if the most recent entry in the log decides to group, i have to tap to expand the category and then tap below to place the call.

Also, might i suggest the option to select whether or not the dial pad is displayed when we launch the dialer? Dialer One executes this perfectly.

Also need an option for 12h time format.
[Android Apps and Games] bluefrog:
Looks very promising!

However it doesn't seem to want to rotate to landscape format on my Streak? I use the phone in the car quite a lot so a portrait format app ain't gonna do it on the streak! :)

good work though....
[Android Apps and Games] cjoshua:
Wow @ your favourite contact list!
[Android Apps and Games] roninxt:
I cannot paste a number in the dialler. There should be a means to paste a copied number to it.
[Android Apps and Games] nightworker-nn11:
Love all the go apps, what would make the contacts better is being able to make it any colour you wanted rather than being stuck with the blue.
[Android Apps and Games] dfgas:
Its not a total replacement to the contacts app. If i remove the Contacts.apk on mesmerize it will not allow me to view the contacts. I am looking forward to this being resolved so that i can fix a bug with the touchwiz contacts app and go launcher. well its not just go launcher but when you hit the back button to go back to the home screen it will not allow you to leave the contacts app unless i hit home button. launcherpro does this as well. this is why i want to remove contacts.apk all together.

[Android Apps and Games] Ashhong:
How come when I place a call, it says UNKNOWN above the contact picture? It shows the contact name under the picture, but above where it gives the status of the call such as "Connected" it shows UNKNOWN?
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidSteff:
Nice App. Fits my Theme. But what I really miss is the swipe feature: Swipe a name right: Direct call. Swipe a name left: Direct SMS.
[Android Apps and Games] phoffer:
I have this happening too, but it happens every time I make a call (from Dialer One, stock), not just through GO.
[Android Apps and Games] dubluv17:
It needs the popup launcher that you get in stock android when you click on a contact's picture. Huge missed feature IMO. Pretty sweet other than that. Would be nice to theme the colors too.
[Android Apps and Games] gradash:
i have same problem... what is this ? i see "dialing" behind UNKNOWN.
[Android Apps and Games] gradash:
DONE, GO contacts version 1.03 fixed this.
[Android Apps and Games] Icke_Minski:
Hi,

Can you make an option to auto hide the dialpad, so that I have only the Call-History. That would be great. thx
[Android Apps and Games] Ashhong:
Indeed, it is fixed! Nice and quick, awesome!

Now if only I could get the facebook pictures to sync. I installed that photo unlocker thing, successfully unlocked photos, but it still doesnt sync the pictures. However I dont even see their picture in the stock contacts list either, although I do see it in GoSMS. Weird...
[Android Apps and Games] phoffer:
AWESOME and fast. GO is awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] dx340:
I think the same. A Dark theme (the same use in GO SMS) could be nice to fix with android.

And the Button option could be great too.

Thanks, Go Dev Team!
[Android Apps and Games] madd0g:
Does it clear the missed call in notification bar on 2.3 ?
[Android Apps and Games] Ashhong:
Nope. Are there any dialers that do, other than stock? Dialer One doesnt do it either
[Android Apps and Games] madd0g:
Seems no, Google changed permissions for 3rd party apps. Think Dialer One runs Vanilla Dialer to clear the notifications as a trick. But ok, im sticking with stock Dialer then.

There is a problem on Samsung Galaxy Spica:

The dialer buttons (textures) are white meaning I cannot see the buttons. On press however I can see them (or selecting with the arrow keys).

Can this be fixed in the next version? It's probably a texture problem :)

[Android Apps and Games] Ashhong:
Facebook pictures work fine for me. Did you install "Photo Unlocker"? Try that.
[Android Apps and Games] chareos12:
The only thing I really wish for this, is for contacts pictures to load and "be already there" when you scroll the list. It's just bad that they pop up only when you already stopped scrolling.
[Android Apps and Games] macr0t0r:
I suppose they could make it an option to pre-load, but it will cause lag as it tries to pre-cache all of the photos in the list.

[Android Apps and Games] southy:
Hi,

nice app! But still I've got two questions:

1) I have about 150 contacs stored in Exchange and facebook - some connected to each other.

Both include contact photos.

The stock app does sometimes show these fotos and sometimes not - however, in go contacts, no photo at all is being displayed.

Why is that? What can I do?

Again: This does _not_ only apply to facebook contacts but also to _all_ Exchange contacts.

So photo unlocker would perhaps not help...?

2) When I create a new contact, it is being created in both exchange and motoblur. Can I somehow choose where to create the contact in?

Thanks for your help,

southy
[Android Apps and Games] Mr dsm:
I would like for the app to exit after i make a call, so that when i hang up i'm on my home screen instead of still being in the dialer/contacts list.
[Android Apps and Games] xstayxposix:
Great app! I love it (:

Although I am not a fan of the dialer for some reason lol.
[Android Apps and Games] DaKlown:
Just to shed some light on the Facebook picture syncing issue its not go contacts fault or any contact apps fault Facebook pics don't show up. Facebook changed their api so that only the stock contact app has access to Facebook pics. If you are rooted the workaround is to install an app called photo unlocked. It changes the permissions on the Facebook photos. I use it and it works great. Its free in the market.
[Android Apps and Games] Jazi:
Found a bug.

If I call a number typing it in without the area code. It automatically defaults the area code 617. Not my area code at all.
[Android Apps and Games] sykomaniac:
I have 2 Google accounts set-up on my phone. I want the option to only show contacts for 1 of my accounts. I want the contacts of the other account (my work one) synced but not displayed unless I'm looking for someone work related.

Is there a way to do this?

I have gone back to the stock contacts app for now - any help appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] Insomaniac10:
so dial the correct area code.....how is it supposed to know the area code of the number you are calling???

wow
[Android Apps and Games] MongooseHelix:
I'm sure many people would like this to be fixed if it is caused by a bug in GO Contacts so I'm not sure why you chose to both mock and dismiss it in post instead of moving on or better yet, offering some help/info. You'll notice that you can dial using just 7 digits and have your local area code prefixed automatically when using the stock dialer, DialerOne, and I imagine basically any other dialer replacement app...even dumbphones do this.

I don't have this installed at the moment so I can't see if I'm able to reproduce this error but people have had similar problems separately from GO Contacts where 617 gets set as the default area code. Jazi, I would suggest checking whether this happens for you just with GO Contacts or also in the stock dialer. Also, take a look at this link and then see if com.android.phone.ProcessOutgoingCallTest is run during an outgoing call. Some others that get this issue have resolved it by doing a full wipe and ROM flash so that's an option. If this ends up to be a bug in GO Contacts, I hope it does get fixed and if the GO devs decide to not support 7 digit dialing, it shouldn't prefix with the 617 area code by default.

Dear application develpor,

I am not an expert on android applications, just a user. I use go contact, go dailer, go launcher and go sms as my defult applications. I had also battary saver installed in my xperia x10i which I use.

I notice that when I run the battary saver to close the running applications my phone return to go contact instade of home.

Before I installed go contact the battary saver return me to home. What I use to do now is using the back botton to return to home.

Please help me in solving this issue.

Thanks in advance

Hi and congratulations for a great dialer :)

Two questions please:

When I use the Quick Dial, the name of the contact in the confirmation dialog appears as Unknown. Is there a way to fix this?

When searching a contact from the dialpad, is it possible to have the most frequently called contacts appear at the top of the search results?

Thank you again.
[Android Apps and Games] pedmond:
It's already a consensus that you should NOT use task killers on Android. Closing the running applications won't give you anything except create problems like the one you are having.

Being a former miui rom user I decided to check on the progress of their latest build today to scratch my itch to flash a different rom. I was reading the changelog and I noticed that the changed made to the dialer were pretty much the exact same changes i noticed in the go contact app update I installed yesterday. Then I realized how much the stock dialer and contact app in miui and the go contact/dialer app look alike. I'm not complaining but has anyone else noticed these similarities?

You do it for Go Sms.

Hello There

Big fan, use a couple of your apps and love them

I have a quick/suggestion regarding the dialer

When using the dial and calling a particular number, the apps begins to list all the calls to that particular number.

Is there a feature to turn this off or is it planned for a future release?

In my opinion, a user shouldn't need to see that he dialled a number X times as it adds an extra click to dial a number

I know i can long press but i love the call confirm feature as i like double checking

Keep up the good work and thanks in advance

[Android Apps and Games] ccctexas:
Happened several times to me these last few days
[Android Apps and Games] damajor:
This one is more or less a bug for international users:

T9 search is already case insensitive, but accents are not matched during a search.

Eg: You will not able to find "Jérôme" typing 5(JKL)3(DEF)7(PQRS).

T9 search should ignore accents and replace any letters with accent with the corresponding letter without one.

Second proposal is that T9 search will also search inside nickname field of contacts.

With those 2 improvements GO Contact will be awesome to search contacts ;)
[Android Apps and Games] piyush7243:
This is due to some Auto Task killer . It kills the service and the Dialer comes back up hence takes time...

Hidden Contacts

Has anyone else come across the issue where contacts set to be hidden in the stock contacts app are still shown in Go Contacts? They still list as hidden when I try to edit them, but show up plain as day in the app. Any fix (short of deleting the contacts)?

Silent Mode Removed

Hey Guys,

Anybody experiencing this?

My phone is in Silent Mode (vibration only). When I launched Go Dialer on the Phone icon from the Launcherpro Dock, it seems that the phone switched to normal mode instead of the original silent mode. I will need to manually toggle the Silent mode in the notifications again.

But when I launch Go Dialer again, it reverts to Normal mode again. Is it expected?
[Android Apps and Games] TheIgster:
Yes, I had the same thing happen to me, although it happened when I launched Contacts using Go Contacts. I uninstalled it because of this. I don't need apps setting my sound mode for me. Not sure why it would do this, but it was really annoying. Liked Go Contacts otherwise. It's too bad.

It needs a lock in memory option like Go SMS Pro. Also a option to pre-load all the contact pictures on first load would be nice. Apart from that, it's great!
[Android Apps and Games] guilhermedsx:
You guys on Go Dev Team should put swiping on there! The Samsung TouchWiz Contacts have this awesome feature where you swipe your finger on top of the contact to call or message it (swipe to the right, call, swipe to the left, message). It's would be a great addition.
