[Dialer] [Address Book] selecting contact should dial the favorite number, but doesn't

[Jamie Strandboge]

I have a contact with two numbers: Home and Mobile (Home appears first) and have clicked the star to the left of the Mobile number (thus marking it a favorite). When I open the dialer and select the contact, the Home number is dialed, not the favorite (Mobile).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This is not the defined meaning of favorite, add design for an opinion

[Olga Kemmet (olga-kemmet)]

Desired solution:

To favour a contact user needs to go to the profile and tap the STAR icon in the profile.
New design: The whole contact will be favourited. If user goes to contacts via dialer he can toggle in the view between ALL | FAVOURITES. tapping on the contact expands the list view and the desired number can be selected to make a call.

new design is implemented, you favorite the entire contact then select the number to call/message from there
