Setting Up "AutoFill" When Dialing A Phone Number

[PsychDoc]

In my HTC Incredible the phone would "suggest" possible numbers I was trying to dial as I typed in each number. This was based on a combination of previous usage as well as contacts and I found it very useful. With the GNex you have to type in the whole phone number even if it's a number you've called numerous times in the past. Is there any way to set the phone dialer to "suggest" possible numbers based on the first few numbers inputted?

yes this was an AESOME function that is severely missed.

I may sound whiney here but my droid x with blur had a T9 like function that you could type peoples names in and it would give a predicted list of contacts. Also missing the ability to assign speed dials.

exDialer has an ICS theme and works great imo.

Also missing the ability to assign speed dials.

Although its true you cannot assign a number to a long press in the dialer..... the speed dial has, apparently, been replaced by the direct contact widget. I have simply made a folder by dragging these direct dial contact widgets over the dialer in the dock which serves as a very similar concept to speed dial.

Not exactly what I want, but thanks for the tip!

I miss this feature too. Speed dialing or direct contact doesn't solve OP's problem.

I've used Dialer One (free in the Market) in the past - it has this functionality. I've also seen recommendations for RocketDial, but it's not free.

I don't think there's a way to configure this functionality with the stock dialer.
