Hi folks,
I have found it from time to time too easy to dial a contact resulting in an accidental dial to someone. This is usually due to the fact that I thought I was selecting a contact when tapping on it rather than immediately dialling the number. Perhaps I am too new to the TP2 and Windows Mobile phoning, but it seems to me that it would be useful to have a popup yes/no window to confirm that you want to dial out.
It is a bit like the delete in the email section which deletes without confirmation. I accidentally selected a few emails and then accidentally tapped delete and then saw half my email disappear.. No big deal. But no confirmation box or undo facility that I could see.
Perhaps there is a way of altering the behaviour for the above...???
Any thoughts appreciated....

Same here. On the missed calls screen I always tap a contact to go to their contact card, but instead I obviously call them immediately.
For me it is just the change from going from Symbian to WM...
I'll get used to it eventually
I think that an extra "Are you sure you wanted to do what you did?" screen would get REALLY irritating very quickly

True.
However the number of times I have accidental touched a contact name (even during call) does make you wonder...
I ended up installing Pocket Shield to prevent it and handle the much to sensitive power button.

So you have PocketShield really running correctly?
I tried, but it's a weird program - installation is correct, changing parameters etc. is no problem, but when it should cick in it gives me errors.
Hi,
The PocketShield Program is an interesting program and potentially solves issues that I have not come across yet probably cos I am new to WM6.1. However I can see the touch screen being a problem, so good find.
HOWEVER.... I do not think this solves my underlying question and that is that once you tap on the contact be it accidental or not it will dial and I think it would be good to have the option of having a "confirm" screen. This is also true with "delete" for the email inbox. I have yet again accidentally deleted an email and even could not get it out of the "Deleted" folder.

Same problem for me.
I found that the contact sorted top on TouchFlo favourites page would get dialled accidentally. I solved this by setting the default number for a contact to be a dummy invalid number. So now at least no call is made when the contact is dialled by accident. This approach may work elsewhere. Not ideal but...
recently, my google voice app has been showing missed calls when i open the app. i don't need to see it in google voice since it shows in my call log. all i want google voice to show is my voicemails. can i turn off what labels get synced, or just turn off the option. i can't find it in settings. it wasn't doing this before so i'm not sure if a recent update started this.
does anyone know how to do this?
I think u can change it in GVoice settings thru web browser, I've actually changed it before to show those missed calls.

??? its sunder settings/calls
Missed Calls
Place missed calls in the inbox
Send missed calls to my email
the thing is i already checked the browser setting and to place missed calls in the inbox is not selected, yet it's still doing it.
My Samsung skyrocket is doing this same thing and its driving me NUTS! Any solutions yet?
Ive got this problem too and tried to fix via the web interface -- didn't work. The best work around is to go to labels and select inbox and the messages go away. Quite annoying for sure.
i tried to disable the messages label, but i can't find how to do that. i don't want to be selecting the label everytime. that's even more annoying.
anyone know how to fix this
Rooted Evo 4g, running CM7.
Hope someone can help out. Every time I try to make a call, a pop up occurs titled "Place Call" with a triangle and ! inside. Need to select either 'Cell phone call' or 'Internet call'.
I have Skype, and GV...but this occurs after those permissions. I've already set Dialer as default, and to not use GV...but then there's one last thing...this "Place Call".
When selecting Internet Call...it says: There are no internet calling accounts on this phone. Requests adding a SIP account.
I'd like to see how I can remove this option all-together. Any ideas? Thanks.
You have to change it in the website for GV
I looked at that. Two things showing GV is not "enabled", is not "active", on your phone.
I apologize in advance if someone has asked/worked on this before, but I couldn't find anything specific, except someone asking the same question in the AT&T GS2 forum.
So something that bothers me is when I go through the call logs, it lists each and every call as a different entry, even if it is to the same contact. I came to Android from a Nokia E71x, and in that, the call log showed one entry for multiple calls to a contact. Just that when you selected the entry, it showed you multiple entries in that for incoming/outgoing/different times. I hope I didn't jumble up my problem too much. Basically, I want to know if a) there is a ROM which does this (I don't think there is) or b) if there is an app that does this.
Thanks!
So lately, I've been amazed at the number of calls that I've gotten that haven't left voicemail. I just got four today. So I decided to check my voicemail, and sure enough, I have a bunch of messages. I'm not sure why, but suddenly my voicemail notification icon is not displaying in the notification area. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, is there a fix?

My wife and I both have the Note 4 on VZW and we have this same issue. I'll get calls all week and think nobody left a message. Then I'll go log in and find I have like 10 waiting. I am pretty sure we used to get notifications, but not for the past 2-3 months at least.
I feel like someone must have an idea what the issue is. I really don't want to go to the store to wait in line for someone to tell me I am wrong.

My wife also has the Note 4, and her notifications come through just fine. I wonder if it has to do with that visual voicemail abomination that they force on our phones. I've gotten in the habit of checking my voice mail manually, whenever I have a missed call. I shouldn't have to do that.

I had the same issue. *611 customer service eventually ended up with a voice mail customer service rep. It seems there was a "Update" pushed by Verizon that conflicts with Galaxy Device voicemail notifications. She "adjusted" the settings on her end and had me reboot, then test called me, Voila, the little tape recorder pops up and my notifications now show an unanswered voicemail. I asked if there was a way for a consumer to reset from their end, she said no, a Verizon Network adjustment is necessary.
I just called and had the same thing done. I have the developer edition note 4 but that doesn't matter according to verizon tech support. notifications work now.
the verizon support specialist told me that verizon had put out an update to those users who got phones after the beginning of the year to 'opt' in to premium voicemail. apparently this messes up the users account voicemail protocol to where they don't receive notifications if they opt out of visual voicemail and just rely on basic 'old school' voice mail. the tech had to 'block' visual voicemail features and configure my account for use with JUST basic old school voicemail. hope this helps.
You're think that they could push another update that would fix it, without everyone who has the problem having to call in and take up customer service time.
I had to call them too.

Most likely enough people "opt in" for $3.99 (or whatever it actually is) a month to make it all worth while...
hey, so I hate googling for solutions and not getting answers so i signed up to help solve this problem
open the phone menu
click the three dots on the upper right and hit settings
select 'call'
under where it says 'voice mail service' near the bottom, add an alert sound for voice mails and select vibrate (if you want to)
next, open the general phone settings (looks like a gear) and go to 'sound and notifications'
go to 'application notifications'
scroll all the way down and select 'voicemail'
click 'set as a priority' so it says 'turn on'
I'm sorry I can't post photos along with it, but the xda forums don't allow new posters to add pictures to their posts until they've posted ten things. (understandable but v frustrating)
The verizon rep (who was very kind and personable) walked me through these steps.
I hope this helps everybody in this thread and all the people hunting from google as well! :]

You lost me at "open the general phone settings". Where is this located?

I'm sorry, I should have been more specific with that.
On the bottom right of the customizable menu right at the bottom of your home screen, click the dot button that says 'Apps' on it. I'm not sure how many pages of apps you have, but it will list all your apps on the phone. It's called 'Settings' and the icon for it is a silver/white gear with a blue circle in the middle of it. Does that help?
Yup. So settings. I go in to it through the notification area, but it's the same thing.
I don't have any menu items that are titled "Application Notifications". Perhaps because I am still on 4.4.4?
THANK YOU!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this solution! Worked for me!
I'm also on 4.4.4 and I'm quite lost on that second part of the instructions. Could someone please explain?
Thank you.
I'm stuck, too. I don't have Sound and Notifications. Just Sound. On 4.4.4 as well.
Did you sign up for visual vm?
Enable voicemail notification on Samsung Galaxy 6
If you aren't receiving voicemail notifications, this is a system error. You have to reset your voicemail. Goto: Settings, Applications, Application Manager. You may have to swipe the screen to the left twice so that it says ALL at the top. Then scroll down to voicemail. Hit Force Stop, then ok, scroll down and hit Clear Data and Clear. I just got off the phone with tech and this is exactly what I did and now my voicemail notification is back.
