I just changed my phone to an Android 4.2.

I was under 2.2 before.

It takes me quite some time to get confortable with the newest interfaces. Out of it, I completely miss the possibility to quickly swipe a contact or a text message to call him immediately as shown on those pictures:

Swipe to text Swipe to call

How can I achieve something similar on Android 4.2? I mean quickly jump from calling to texting to contact easily?

Until now, it takes me 3 taps to call from text messages, can't achieve to send sms from call log, and since contacts are not filtered in People App ("Show only contacts with phone number" - Filter missing in Android 4) it takes a while to find people from contacts.

    What phone do you have? Is it skinned (Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, ...etc)? The pictures look like Samsung Touchwiz interface, did you upgrade the phone to a new version or is this a new phone?

    That's a feature on Samsung's dialler, I don't know if any other ones do it, but there are lots of free diallers on the Play Store, worth a look. I assume you installed a non-touchwiz ROM?

  • I have a Fairphone fairphone.com now (got a new phone). I think the best option I have is to click on the contact picture now, as described in this post: android.stackexchange.com/questions/29269/… Still 2 clicks but better than nothing!
