Speed dialing by letter on Droid 4

I bought a Droid 4 when my Palm Centro died. One of the features I liked was the ability to assign a letter for speed dialing. A letter is much more easily remembered than a number. Is it possible to assign a letter for speed dialing on the Droid 4?

Jennifer,
I appreciate your prompt reply re: Direct Dialing feature.   I think this feature is a good one for those that chose it.  However, I am extremely unhappy that the "speed dialing" feature (press and hold a number button) has been arbitrarily removed from Jelly Bean.  Opening the folder of Direct Dial icons may be faster in some cases, when dialing only amongst a  group of friends, rather than opening the dialer and dialing for business use or for dialing friends by holding a button, although I cannot see how.  It certainly lacks consistency with prior Android interfaces and without other phone and other user interfaces.  This was a bad decision and I hope Verizon can be an advocate for the return of true speed dialing in the next Android release.
Regards,

  • Droid 4 speed dial

    How do I delete a speed dial number on a Droid 4

    Stumper2,
    Good morning! To delete a speed dial number on a Droid 4, simply tap the green 'phone' icon like you're making a call, then hit the 'Menu' key and select 'Speed Dial Setup'. This will show you all existing speed dials. To remove, just tap the red 'minus symbol next to the contact you wish to remove. If you want to add a new contact, just tap 'Add Speed Dial' and select the appropriate person from your contact list.
    I hope that helps your experience!
    Thanks

    I can even deal with the fact that it erased my original speed dial settings. What I cannot deal with is the fact that BY LAW i must use a hands free device wihle driving but since the GB  update I can no longer Dial my 9 speed dial numbers by Bluetooth. Trying to push the number and hold it for a few secs not only breaks the law and jepordizes my kids in the car . Here how it works ( or supposed to work. I push the button on my head set. It says " Say A Command ". I say Call speed dial 3. It repeats it back to me. I say Yes. It NOW dials the last number dialed. I never had this problem before the update.

    Food for thought:  There is actually information released by the NTSB that even using "hands free" devices while driving have been proven to  distract drivers.
    As for the Bluetooth commands: I've never used "speed dial" I usually say "Call Nicole Mobile" and it will connect still with no problems.
    I just tried to use the voice command "call speed dial 1" and it did not recognize it.  It appears you must use the name now.

  • Steps to Configure Speed Dial

    Hello,
    Need steps to configure speed dial.
    Thanks
    Abhishek

    Hello,
    Go to the phone / UDP configuration page and check the Phone Button Template and check whether you have enough lines available to configure as speed dials. If not create a new Phone button template with sufficient speed dial lines and assosiate the newlt created Phone Button Template to your phone /  UDP configuration page. Clikc the link Add/Update Speed Dials on the same page and update the speed dial with the requested entries with the Label asthe Speed dial Label and the Number as the number where the speed dial shld reach.
    The UDP profiles has to log out and login back for the changes to take effect.
    Hope this helps..
    Please let me know whether this was infromative or not.
    Thanks

  • Speed dial save issues

    Doe anyone know about a fix for the Droid Eris speed dial issue. After the software update, I was re entering my speed dial contacts but info wont save. I can select a number and a slot thats marked available but when I hit save it doesnt.

    I also had this problem and it seems that by doing a factory data reset (once the upgrade is installed), they work again.   I also contacted my local Verizon store and they didn't even realize it was a problem.  
    Just make sure you back everything up with your preferred method and then after the factory reset, re-sync your phone.
    Hopefully this will also solve your problem.
    Maybe I'm dumb, I've done a bit with my Droid Eris, but I have no clue how to back up the phone (especially my apps, god forbid I would have to re-download all of those) I'm sure my phone could use a hard reset, I seem to have a problem that my phone randomly turns its sounds off, i.e.. no sound when phone rings, can't hear peoples voice and vice-versa. The only way I've been able to solve that problem as of yet is just to power off and back on again.
    My phone needs the help of Jesus himself! Or just someone who knows what their doing a little better than myself.

  • How do you unlock a SPEED DIAL entry

    Speed Dial 1 is for my voicemail, but I need to change the information and it won't let me do it.  There is a "lock" icon to the right of the entry.

    This doesn't work.  Using the enter or ok buttons only dials the number.  And if I try the Menu key there is no option to edit or delete the entry like other speed dial entrys.  The #1 entry is locked.

  • How do I add the second set of urls to speed dial

    I have filled in all nine boxes in speed dial. I need to know how to set up second dial for second nine urls.

    MAC filtering is NO security measure against anyone who wants to get into your system for malicious reasons.
    That said, the MAC address list is kept in your router settings.  Type the router's IP address into a browser to access.
    Let me know what brand/model router and I can help.

  • Using speed dial button as paging on provisioned 525g's

    Hello everyone!
    We recently switched to a hosted phone provider with provisoning for our 2 SPA525G2's but still want to maintain an internal paging function between them using a speed dial button. For less confusion, lets call in ex5.
    I have successfully created a dial plan and am able to dial *96 + extension number to activate the paging system. My objective is to just hit ex5 and having it automatically activate the paging function.
    I feel I'm very close but need help with the last step.
    Please help!

    Thanks for your response!
    Question, wouldn't that use my provisioned phone system still? How could I directly dial the LAN side IP?
    I currently have (<5:[email protected]:5060>S0|xx.<:@192.168.0.104:5061>) which allows me to call the other phone but not page it.

    How do I delete a Speed Dial key?   Somehow I accidently assigned a speed dial letter to "lock phone"  and need to get this deleted.
    Thanks

    You can hit your green phone button to go into your call log screen. After that screen comes up, hit the menu button, and choose View Speed Dial List. See if you can delete it from that screen

  • Speed dial failure

     I can no longer set speed dials - I have 2 set up - I went to set up more - when I go into the contact, hit "set up speed dial" - then it says "pick a speed dial phone number - then when I do - it comes up with my contact name and phone - at top of page  - but rest of page is blank.  How do I fix this?

    Does this happen with both Apple keys? Does this happen with Option commands or other commands too?
    Check in the "Keyboard and Mouse" and go to the Keyboard shortcuts tab and see if maybe any specific ones you want are unchecked.
    Let us know!
