You have been subscribed to a public bug: Currently, the main way to make a call with dialer-app is to dial the number. Most calls are made to contact entries, for which the number is not memorised by the user, but rather the name. This creates unnecessary steps in my opinion. (open dialer-tap contact icon-tap magnifier-type name) In reality it's faster to start the contacts app first if you want to call someone. To me that's illogical.
This is quite a central feature, I think, that most other phone OSes offer. It would be nice if someone could try to pick this up. ** Affects: dialer-app (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bot-comment -- dialer allows no name search, inefficient route to contact search https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1470886 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dialer-app in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
