Hi,
I use the GSM codes alot, for exemple #21# to cancel call forwarding, etc. I find it faster than drilling down menus. When I call directly or thru the contacts manager (I made contacts for the codes), everything goes fine. If however I map the contact to the quick dial slot on the home menu OR in a quick dial slot on a cube, the phone gives me an error message. Anyone has a solution?
Also, I recently installed a profile manager with the ability to launch programs with command line parameter when certain conditions are met (I would like the phone to initiate call forwarding when the AC is plugged in), anyone know how I can initiate a call to a specific number (gsm code in my case) from the command line?
Thanks for your help

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 (*).
I enter number 097 5555 002 and press call and nothing happens.
Later I figured out I can not dial any number based on pattern XXX555500X, or any number that has 555500X included.
Other number I can call normally.
Can somebody check is it up to me or ICS?
CORRECTION: Can't dial numbers that have 555XXXX at the end. When I enter any number that ends with 555XXXX and press CALL nothing happens, number just dissapears from input box and it is not shown in log....
I tested it. It works after 5 sec
Free Space for you and me: redir.ec/dbalexs
I can't dial anything that has 555XXXX at the end of the number no matter how long I wait...
=(
Maybe I messed up something after rooting, but I didn't touch system apps, only removed bloatware...
Updated to .587
Still I can't dial numbers with 555XXXX at the end, for example 0800 555 1234 or 0800 555 0000.
This is so annoying, i can't call two of my contacts....
Please HELP!!!
I still have the bug but have found a workaround.
When I try to make call to e.g. 0800555XXXX I add 00 to the end, and then phone starts calling.
So instead 0800555XXXX I call 0800555XXXX00.
...And I get the right person on the other side =)
In the contacts app there is the ability to add wait and pause in a contact number. This can be used to automatically submit PIN codes, etc, into a dialed number.
This just doesn't seem to work for me. Anything after the comma or semicolon is completely ignored when dialing. Is there a way to enable it?

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)?
