Hey guys,
I'm sure this has been asked/answered before, but I totally can't find the thread.
When I add contacts, I love to add the area code, so the numbers are like this (XXX)-XXX-XXX. However, the TP2 doesn't catch the person I'm calling when I dial w/o the area code. It bugs me when I try to go through my call history and sometimes need a quick call.
I know other phones have had fixes, but I can't seem to find it for the TP2.
Thanks!
Anyone?

i am looking to find a way to aphend the phone prefix from dialing 1 whenever i place a call.
I could do it on my tp but the tp2 doesnt have that option
getting down to almost 0 tweaks i want
Please put the issue you need help with in your thread title.
It's just good practice.
if you're doing it from your contact list & the number doesn't have the 1 in it, it shouldn't dial it. If you're doing it from your call history from a received call or even from a received text, since those come in as 1 (XXX) XXX-XXXX all the time, then it will have the 1 in front of it.
I'm curious, why does it matter?
well on the touch pro if you didnt eneter a 1 into contacts and someone called you it wouldnt show your contact as calling. but it looks like the tp2 works for caller id.
to many ****ty software glitches in the TP glad its gone.

When I use the Google Voice Search to say "Call xxxx" (xxxx = any search term/non-contact) the number that shows after the search has a +1 in front of it. When it tries to dial it would ring, then a Verizon message would say the number cannot be dialed. I was hoping flashing CM7 would take care of this, but now it just fails to dial without the Verizon message. It fails immediately after attempting to dial.
I've seen a few topics across the web about this, most of them have to do with the phone adding a country code in place of the number and failing. However, I can't find a working solution.
CM7 doesn't appear to have call settings that would help. Has anyone experienced this issue? Can you dial a number that begins with a +1 from inside the US? I've heard (don't want to test) that dialing other countries with the plus sign works. I've also read that it's a known issue with HTC, and they may be working on a fix.
It's not a major problem, but that's what I typically use voice search for is searching for an address or number quickly. It's kind of a pain to memorize the number and dial that way.
For what it's worth, the issue is gone after flashing MIUI. It may be that I wiped the dalvik cache before flashing this one.
Seems like certain roms have issues with Google Voice. I use Google Voice for my voice mail, and with certain roms, when I go to dial out from Google Voice, whether it be using my GV number or my native Verizon number, a +1 is appended to the phone number and I get an error stating the network is busy.
At the moment, I am using TSM Gingerbang Evolved and it works fine. I get the network issue with Virtuous Unity (is the name right?) and more recently with RunnyDroid. I like some of the features of these other ROMS but cant put my finger on what the common factor is that makes Google Voice cause problems with dialing.
I'd like any assistance at all on this.. I think I may have read elsewhere that there are issues with Sense 3.0 and up with Google Voice, but I cant seem to locate that article now.
Is there no way to properly use Google Voice with higher versions of Sense?
Thanks,

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Anybody? Are any other users experiencing the same issue? I read a few posts on random forums where some had the same problem, but no resolution other than trying a different ROM. Perhaps I should change my question..
What Sense-based ROMs have you guys used that still works great with Google Voice dialing out from a voicemail?
Seriously? I can't be the only one experiencing this. Anybody at all? Maybe I'm the only one who uses GV.
Sorry man, I don't use it. I read something about having to pay for voicemail using it one time and just stopped

You're not the only one having this issue. I'm experiencing the same problem as well but I just did the work around and edit the number i'm dialing out to delete the + from the number. It's a pain in the butt if you do it all the time but I normally just "send a text" to that number, edit the number, delete the +, copy and paste it into the phone app and dial out from there. A lot of extra steps but it works.
I'm sure someone will get around to figuring out why this is happening

This bothered me so much over the past few days I finally did some digging and I found a great workaround. It's actually an app on the market. It can edit any number you dial automatically to remove or add whatever it needs to.
Prefixer
By 253°Below
Run the app, Menu>Add Rule>Manual>Outgoing
You can label the title whatever you want.
Make sure the Rule is enabled
Under "When Number Matches" Type this in
\+?[0-9]{7,}
That tells it if a number is at least 7 digits long preceded by a + in the beginning.
During Days>Mon-Sun
From Time> 00:00
To Time> 23:59
Remove Characters
\+[1]
That's it. Try dialing a number from anywhere. Some of my facebook contacts automatically have a +1 in front of them and i'm now able to call without editing the number manually every single time.
THANK YOU!
That was driving me crazy...
thank you very much, this works like a charm and makes ROMs much more usable
Wonder why the devs of these ROMs don't include something like this, as you would think everyone has this problem. It may not be an issue with the built in phone call log, but definitely is if you use Google Voice.
thanks again
Hello,
I'm curious if anyone has come across a way to enable the phone to ring if a number has the correct prefix. Where I work every number has the same area code (US) and first 3 digits of the phone number, so I was wondering if there was some way to enable them to ring. I'm constantly moving around, so I have asked them to call my cell phone, but I also don't want random calls to cause my phone to ring in meetings. I tried to create a contact that had the prefix and then **** for the extension, but it hasn't worked. If there is some app or some way to enable this functionality, I would appreciate an assist with it. If not, hopefully we can get a feature request or app started.
I should mention that I have the Pixel XL on the most recent Verizon Android Oreo OTA. OPR3
Thanks for the help!
I actually would like the opposite because the majority of my spam calls come from my area code and first 3 digits of my phone number.
I live in the DMV area so I get calls from multiple area codes. It seems like most calls I get from any area code other than my own goes straight to voicemail. I have co-workers who I've even added to my contacts who still can't get through. I have scoured over the settings and can not find a solution. Has anyone else had this issue and/or found a solution?
Do you have those contacts saved? I've had people call me (I'm on T-mobile) and the phone app thought it was spam and I never got a notification or anything. Look in the phone settings > Spam and Call settings > Call screen.
Check with your service provider, this sounds like its on their end, not the phone.
