[Q] pause and # on dialed digits from contacts - LG Optimus G Pro

Hi,
I have to dial several conference calls during the day and what I used to do my Samsung galaxy was to add the full dialing strings to get into the conference call without having to send any extra keys after I pleced the call. I had on my contacts the following
888888888,#,78878787#
and it would dial the number, wait 2 seconds, send the #, wait 2 more seconds and then send 78878787#
It worked like a charm, but now on my new LG optimus G pro when I dialed the same contact what I see being sent is.
888888888,78878787
so it seems it is dropping the first #, the second pause and the last #
I found that I can replace the , by ;, but this way I have to press the ok button to send the other digits, when before by just dialing the contact I would get into the call without any other intervention.
Any help is appreciated.
Would this be caused by the dialer or by the contacts app and how can I get the Samsung dialer or contacts app on the LG (if possible)?

Dialer speed problem

I have entries in my contacts as follows
555-555-1212pp1pp456789
Dial the number and then get through the system to get info. I programmed this in the contact list same as I had in my P4000 but I find that the last 6 digits dialed are so fast that the system cannot get them all and it craps out.
Is there any way to slow down the dtmf tones when it dials out???
Thanks

Weird behavior in Galaxy Nexus dialer

People, here's the thing.
Here in Brazil, when a call is received, the caller number is sent to the phone in this format:
0 + area code (two digits) + caller number (eight digits)
For example, 0219236XXXX
My Galaxy Nexus gets this number and shows it in this format:
(21)9236-XXXX
This is one of the brazilian ways to present a phone number here, "(" + area code with two digits+ ")" + four digits + "-" + four digits. There are others, for example without the parenthesis (like this: 21 9236-XXXX).
The problem is that when I enter the call log to return a call, if I return it from an incoming call register, it works fine. But if I return it from an outgoing call register, the call is not complete because the number is not recognized.
It's hard to explain, I'll try to illustrate with steps.
- I receive a call from 0219236XXXX
- My Galaxy Nexus call log shows:
(21)9236-XXXX "call received" (a small blue arrow pointing down left)
- I enter call log and press that "call received" register
- The phone dials (21)9236-XXXX and the call is completed
- My Galaxy Nexus call log now shows:
(21)9236-XXXX "call made" (a green blue arrow pointing up right)
(21)9236-XXXX "call received" (a small blue arrow pointing down left)
- I enter call log and press the "call made" register
- The phone dials (21)9236-XXXX and the number is not recognized.
- But if I press the "call received" register, the number is recognized and the call is completed.
See what I mean? I guess that in an incoming call, the first '0' (zero) is there, but it's hidden. So when I dial from the incoming call register, although the number is shown (21)9236-XXXX, the dialed number is 0219236XXXX, which is a correct number to the network.
But when I dial from the outgoing call register, the number is shown (21)9236-XXXX and the dialed number is 219236XXXX. The '0' (zero) is discarded. Because of that missing '0' (zero), the number is not recognized by the network.
I don't know if this is a problem only with brazilian phone number format, or if it happens in other countries also.
Is there a way to fix this? Because of it, most of the times I have to edit the number before calling it.
Bump!
Anyone?
i don't know about in brazil,
here in uk, it works with no problem. it even tell you where the area of the number is from.
for example i just received a unknown insurrance call from
01515246303
it show in the call log
0151 524 6303
Liverpool
and i can dial back with no problem.

yes, it dials with the 0 with it.
I have the same problem, nexus in Vivo carrier, everytime i try to dial last call it wont recognize the number, then i have to edit the number, its really annoying.
Yes i have a similar problem
Here is what i have noticed
Im in oman, country code +968, when im in my home country and dial a call to uae, +971 567 897070, the dialer shows 056 7897070.
What i think happens is as follows,
Since the location setting if english uk, the phone formats the numbers as per uk formatting. They use 10 digits as their numbers.
The ics reads and displays numbers in UK first every where. Im ginger bread, that formatting used to happen only while entering the phone number in the dialer, but it would read and display more than 10 digits while on the same UK setting.
My advice for the brazilian numbers, is change ur location to uk from usa if you are using english.
I hope they fix this bug

Number formatting problem
in iran my galaxy nexus have problem with number formatting too.
sometimes seprate the number (this format: +98 123 456 7890 or 0123 456 7890)*
but sometimes auto format not work (this format: +981234567890 or 01234567890)
or only seprate -with country code- numbers.
important, when i saved a number with one of formats and then my phone automatically changed his formatting to other format then my numbers shows like unsaved numbers (without name) in log, callin and text.
text, log, dial pad and new cantact page have this problem.
Y sgn automatically change formatting?
how i can solve it?
after resetting, default format is the first one (*).

[Q] Dialing conference call numbers

Does anyone know of a way to dial into a conference call from the calendar entry? I need to be able to tap on a number in the calendar entry and have it dial the number, wait, then dial a passcode and # to enter the conference call. It's something the Blackberry does very well. I know you can store a number in contacts with a pause or wait in it but I get a lot of conference call invites and they all have different passcodes so it would be impossible to store the number ahead of time. I've tried every combination of putting p, w, ";" or "," in the number in both the location line and in the body of the calendar event. I can always select the first number to dial it but it won't dial the passcode. I have to back out of the dial and look at the calendar again and try to memorize it and then go back into the dialer and manually enter the passcode. I'm using the email client on Blazer 4.0 to access my Exchange server calendar. Anyone found a way to do this? Trying to ditch the Blackberry completely but Android does lack some basic productivity functionality. Thanks.
I have same issue. Can't believe there's been no reply to this issue.
I have found a 'kind-of' work around.
1) Installed CopyNPaste
2) installed Go Contacts EX
THEN, when COPYING the 'number...ext' into the copy buffer,
Then using CopyNPaste to dial, and having the default app being the Go Contact EX app,
THIS WORKs and dials the phone number, then (with,,,,, pauses between the phone number and the extension) waits, then dials the bridge extension.
But when attempting to simply select the 'number....ext' from the calendar appt, Android defaults to using the default 'phone' app and only uses the beginning 'phone#' part of the 'phone#,,,,ext' that is displayed\selected in the calendar appt. Tried clearing all defaults against the 'phone' app. still uses the stock phone app to dial a number in a calendar.
This shouldn't be THAT big of a problem. But apparently is.

[Q] KitKat B506 - No caller id on incoming calls

Hi everyone,
I just bought a P6 and directly upgraded to B506 (so, for the comments that follow, I have no prior status to compare against).
What I noticed is that for all incoming calls, only the phone number is shown and not the caller id. For example, I created a contact 'John Doe' for my home phone number and placed a call. Phone number shows up, 'John Doe' does not. Same behavior when I replaced my home phone number (fixed line number) with my wife's mobile phone number.
Furthermore, when I checked the Dialer for the 'missed' call, same story: it shows the number, not the caller id.
At first, I thought that this behavior is attributed to my mobile Telco provider. Then, I downloaded and used a dialer from Play Store (Swipe Dialer Pro). Swipe Dialer's list of recent calls does show the caller id !
So, has anyone else experienced that ? Any clues on what might be causing this behavior on the stock dialer and how it can be resolved ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Kostas

[Q] How to get G3 to recognize pause chars in phone numbers

Just got a G3. But this phone lacks functionality that I had on my S5. I'm on the road a lot and I get a lot of meeting invites. The meeting invites usually have phone numbers with conference codes and extensions, for example:
Conference Number (Mobile-friendly): 8662345689,,,,223345099#
Conference Number (Human-friendly): (866) 234-5689,,,223-345-099
The S5 recognized these phone numbers and the extensions after the pause (commas). But the G3 ignores the part after the phone number, so I end up having to pull over when in my car to get into meetings, to dial the conference code.
Is there any way to get this functionality back?
