What happened to the favorites screen on the dialer?

[Misterb]

I liked that on previous Notes. When you dialed, you could see the people you call most, and just tap on them and it would call. Do I have to use the side curved bar for this now? I don't find it to be as convenient

I was disappointed to see it go as well. I am more disappointed to learn that the "envelope" icon used to send text messages to a contact won't open Hangouts (my default SMS app).

Lame. One step forward. Two steps back

You don't see favorites there? I do. They show at the top of contacts. T-Mobile Note 7.

I have it too under the contacts tab on Verizon

I hate the new dialer setup. I was used to it on the n5. Thinking of switching to a different dialer because of it.

I miss the list you could make at the top of the message app. That was a handy feature that went away.

Makes you wonder who they talk to and get feedback from!

Can you post a screenshot of your dialer please?

Yeah, I have that but it's not quite what I'm referring to. With prior versions of the Note, the dialer would automatically create favorites based off how often you contact someone. It was kinda nice, vs having to manually make a person a favorite and then click contacts

I've never had a Note do this.

I have T-Mobile and I don't see that. All I see frequently contacted no favorites.

Can you post a screenshot? Did you star a contact and do you sync contacts to Google?

Yeah they changed it since previous versions to change it up .. same thing though to be honest. Favs are at the top for quick access.

Was that a TMO thing? None of my AT&T Notes ever did that.

I had it on my note 5 (T-Mobile) but i don't think it created favorites. Instead it showed something like the 5 people you talked with the most. So it could change from day to day depending on who you talked with the most.

 

[Kelly Kearns]

I still have my TMO Note 5 and it has never done that, it has always had my favorites.

AT&T Note 7 or less? Have to compare 7 to 7 .

No.. One said all their Notes did it before the 7 and one said their TMO Note 5 did it.

i had a sprint note 5 (which i no longer had) and it did the same thing. as i called people more frequently, it would add them to a list that displayed when i touched the phone icon on my home screen.
