Hi,

I consider myself an Android fanboy, hopeful, whatever you wanna call it. But recent changes are starting to really really get to me.
ICS and Jelly Bean updates and all the new versions of apps compatible with JB made my Nexus S a piece of crap I used to have back in nokia days. Takes ages to launch any app, calling section lags like hell. google reader seems to not be compatible with whatever GPU my phone has, google maps is a slide show like never before. I know I know - 512Mb of ram in my phone is not enough anymore, but meh to open source. Now to the question of the topic:
Jelly Bean somehow lost the ability to send one of my contacts info(number, name) to another person via sms. Like today I needed to text someone another person's phone number with his name. I needed to do that quickly but I was in the bus, so I said OK no problem I just take out my superphone and text you that number. yeah. After half an hour, I ended up writing that damn number on piece of paper and that way sending it via sms to a friend. What happened to share via sms? I have share via BT, ftp, skype, email. I run Handcent, which uses default People app on my phone to sharesome thing.
So is there any magic way to send a vcard or simply just adding number and name to text message without going to People, finding that person, clicking settings>edit>copy the number(after half an hours of failed attempts to select the damn thing in the bus in London roads) and then paste it to the SMS field?
I really getting to the point where I just want to nail that damn phone to the wall. It fails me properly whenever I needed it quickly
 
Thanks for this. I will check it out when I get home. But again, what a hell is android design team doing? Why would I need an app for that? I Already have handcent.
Unless apple has a patent on this, then I understand :D
 
Can't answer that. I see I can share via DropBox as well. No clue why not sms. I did notice you can hold down on the contact number to copy and then hold down to paste in the sms. Cumbersome though.

It is cumbersome especialy when my phone is 2 year old nexus s with tiest bent screen I have ever had. Even now check the quoted text. Beginning of it is cut out because screen decided to move cursor to the top of the comment in the middle of my writing. I need as few touches as possible, yet even ICS/JB browser has changed. Before I launch it, click on the address bar, it pops me favorite page(Google reader). Now, I click on address bar, click letter r on keyboard and only then can select reader page. Lead designed of Android UI said he is half way to his goal. To what? Making android unusable?
