Hi! Since my Note 4's Lollipop update last week, I am very frustrated with what the dialer does during outgoing calls (not using HD calling right now). After I make the call, the call screen disappears into the notification bar and I have to swipe down (being careful not to touch the sensors that make the screen go black) to get the dialer back on the screen. This is really a pain when I need the keypad. I really just want the dial screen to stay on the screen full size. I can't seem to figure out how to do this after much Googling (maybe because people don't think it's a problem...but it's a very annoying problem for me!). Any ideas on how to fix this? Many thanks! Amanda PS...Incoming calls are fine...dial screen stays full size on the screen.
Welcome to the lollipop group! I am using sip accounts and when I dial, the dialer asks me whether I want to use my phone operator or one of the sip accounts. After I choose I have no dialer left.
If i swipe back to the dialer tab in the phone application, I can see 3 options:
x use touch tone keypad
< return to call screen
+ add call
and if i select "return to call screen" i can see again the dialog that asks me which phone to use for the outgoing call (while i'm still calling or even talking with the other side)
Google don't care about this, they're probably looking to phase out "internet calling" since they have their own competing product now (hangouts).

I'm having exactly the same issue on a Note 3 now with Lollipop.

Has anyone else besides me had a lot of mistaken calls because the phone decides to go to the contacts lists after a call ends? It's happened to me at least three times today.
In older versions of Android, you had to tap a contact's name, which took you to another page, which had a small phone icon to call. or a long press brought up a menu. In ICS, just touching a name in the contacts list makes a call. It's kind of frustrating that I have to be extra careful after a call now, and manually back out of the list.
So, is there a way to make it go home after a call ends? What kind of hackery would this require to the dialer apk?
On my Droid Incredible/Gingerbread I could configure whether the phone went to the call log or not after a call, but my Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2 always goes to the call log - this is especially annoying when I'm using the phone to navigate and get a call, when the call ends you don't just go back to the navigation. Anyone see a way to configure this that I missed?
Definitely interested in this as well
There is an app called "Not Call Log" which can take you to the home screen, dialer or open an app after hanging up. If you use Tasker, you can also set it to do anything with a "phone idle" condition (that may not make sense if you're not familiar with tasker).

Even though the call log appears, i believe the activity stack is is still maintained meaning after your call ends just press back twice, the second leaves the call log back to your prior activity.
Hi! I hope this is the right place to ask. It may sound stupid but I just cannot turn off the auto sms feature on HTC Wildfire S. An automated sms is sent while the phone is in the locked state.
It shouldn't do that, but I know when I was using the WFS and I would drag the red dismiss/decline button to the lock ring I would sometimes then have to tap end call. I had voice mail turned off so maybe it was trying to send a message? It didn't seem to use minutes.
Did you know that when the phone is ringing there's a menu that is only available at that time, whether you're locked or unlocked when it rings...just tap the menu button on the bottom and you can mute the ring and let it ring through to voice mail. Curiously this is where I thought one had to go to send the SMS message, which I used to do when I was low on minutes...I set my message to say I was low and please text or email me...still after it sent the SMS I'd have to then tap on end call. Anyway, check what's in that menu, and if it still sends the SMS if you simply select decline from that menu. My other thought would be to press the power button twice to reject the call and see if it still sends the SMS. One last suggestion would be, in call settings, select to edit message before sending and when it wants to send the SMS and opens for editing, maybe cancel it, or set it to send blank if you're worried more about what you're saying than minutes?
Hi there,
This maybe a stupid question.. but is there a way to get the stock incoming call popup that comes form the top like whatsapp that you get on various devices running stock android on htc sense instead of the full screen display on an incoming call?? Its intrusive, and most importantly it causes problems when i'm working on something and decline the call by accident just because i was going to tap on that area at that time.
Thanks
I am new to HTC 10, went from Nexus 5X. I liked the easy way how to dial the contact from my Favorites in Dialer of Nexus 5X.
1st touch - run Dialer app
2nd touch - touch any contact from Favorites (it calls it directly - as I was able to select default action)
On HTC 10 (latest Android 7.0) I go
1st touch - run Dialer app
2nd touch - touch any contact from Favorites (it just opens the contact information)
3nd touch - touch on the number I want to call - then only it initiates the call
Even when "Set default action" to Call, it only open the contact information. Still one touch more I am able to accept.
Is this just bug of the Dialer?

For me, what you want (quick calls to frequent contacts) is done by assigning speed dial numbers to my frequent contacts. Even faster than what you described on your 5x.
Actually your way is not faster. One normal touch and one long one is not less than two normal touches.

Well if you wanna count milliseconds then also factor in the time it takes your finger to move around and select Favorites, "waiting" for the screen animation to complete and again moving your finger to the contact name and pressing it.
Little offtopic discussion, but ok - how do you show the screen where you can press the number of speed dial? Isn't this another touch?
Anyway, your way is just not the way for me. As it seems stock dialer is just not correct, I replaced it with Pixel one and I am satisfied.

Speed dials are assigned to the number keys on the dial pad. You hold the number on the dial pad you assigned for a particular contact and it dials it. So pretty much it's the first thing you see when you open the dialer.
Good that you sorted it out.
