Phone calls - Number Pad Usage - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I did a search and couldn't find anything. I don't frequent these boards either so if anyone has reported this problem, please direct me to the right post...
I am using Community Rom 1.3 with the Nitro Honeycomb 4.3 theme.
I am having a problem to where when I call a phone number that uses touch tones to select options. Example: Press 1 for English...etc. Pressing the number on the number pad does not do anything. I've tried normal and speaker mode.
Anyone else experiencing this problem or know of a fix?
Thank you!!

I know it worked when I had my old cell phone but I haven't used my Fascinate that way yet. I checked the Settings - Call Settings and found a setting for DTMF tones. Maybe it would help to set it to the Long option? Good luck!
Hey, I just Googled and found this:

Using the same setup, my keypad works just fine. The keys don't make any noise (I have touchtones turned off), but was able to make my selections without issue

Changing the DTMF to "Long" worked great! I should have thought of that. I really appreciate the reply.

Delay in ringing when receiving calls?

I have a Eris on VZW, and I want to see if anyone here experiencing a delayed ring? I.E. when someone calls you it takes 3 maybe even 4 rings before your phone rings? My last phone, WM i760 took 1&1/2 to 2 before the cell rang, and both are using the same ringtone. Is this normal? Is there any way I can decrease the amount of delay(on my i760 there was a phone code I could dial to get into a special phone mode to adjust the delay)? Thanks.
What can we do?
I tried some of the default ringtones and the same thing occurred.
not sure whether this is always the case, but i just tried it and there was like zero delay. instant ringing.
delay 3-4 rining.
but the LED delays "only" 2 rining.
AND(!!): wenn i am listening music with the headset, musik stop playing long before (3-4sec before) the phone starts to ring or the LED starts to blink
Normal tones (htc's tones) shouldn't have a delay. Mp3 or custom tones do lag.
This issue has been asked before, no way te resolve it I think but not sure.
You should try the search
Yeah I had a custom tone on my last phone and there was a phone setting i had to get into by dialing a number to fix improve it.
anyone try what was suggested it here. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=99307
Edit: I just notice that what is suggested in that link is the same thing I did for my previous phone and that worked well. I had it at 1 on my last phone and I have it on 1 on my Eris now. I just tested it, and my phone now rings about a quarter second after the second ring. It much better now. I was told with this settings change on this phone and with my previous phone battery life does go down a slight bit, but I never noticed it on my last phone. I hope its the same case here. Then again I do have plans to get a larger battery, which would kind of make the point moot.

It says on that forum by pjsockett linked to above:
##PST Send
Edit Mode
Enter 000000 Press OK
Modem Settings
Slot Cycle Index
Change Value (Lower values ring faster)
OK
Menu
Commit Modifications
Press OK to reset the device. OK
After that your device should reboot and you should be good!
Beware, Reducing the slot cycle can reduce battery life which could be an issue on the Eris.

How do you dial ##PST on the hero?
- I tried ## then dial, but that didn't work.
can you give a slightly more verbose set of instructions please? - bit of a newb on dialing codes into phone.
Many thanks.
dail ## and what ever number PST equals.
Any feedback on how much this is affecting battery life? I'm not sure if it's better to have quick ringing but worse battery life...

Not sure if this works for European Hero. I haven't had my Eris for too long but set at 1 i haven't noticed to much of a difference.
Anyone know where to get the ##PST - as in how do I find out what the PST number is?
Please?

[Q] Any way to improve voice dialing?

I can't seem to be able to get voice dialing to work with any consistency. Is this a known issue? And it's not because of an accent, either..
I'd like to be able to place calls through my Bluetooth speakerphone, but 9 out of 10 times, it calls the wrong number, and I have to scramble to hang up. I've pretty much given up on it, but wanted to check to see if I've missed something.
Thanks.

I use Vlingo
It's incredibly accurate and great for "In the car" tasks. Make sure to select car mode in the app and you can call/text/music/nav hands free.
I don't have enough posts to list the market link, so just search it.
Thanks very much for the suggestion. I've installed it and will test out today.

[Q] my friends keep telling me they hear me well on phone

My friends keep telling me they can not hear me well for most of my calls with galaxy S3, sometimes my voice are like under water for few seconds. I got no problem with my other phones before. I cut my sim to micro sim, it could be the problem? I also rooted and changed to custom rom, problem still there. What else I can do? Im using Tmobile and singal are strong.
can hear you well then its can't hear you well.
try phone > menu > call settings > additional settings , and play around enabling/disabling one or both - noise suppression and in-call sound equalizer.
Thanks, I just made some calls and they got no problem.

Do you mind posting what settings you changed to fix the issue? I've experienced a similar problem.
I too have this sort of problem. Some people say I sound far away when in fact i'm at normal distance to my ear. I would like to know what settings to change to fix this.

[Q] Vibrate when call answered?

I've had this feature on various phones and roms, but can't seem to find anything for the S3. Anyway to enable this?
I was using CallVibrate but that no longer works. In fact it seems the SGS3 isn't supported any more.
Or perhaps there's a way to get Tasker to accomplish this? That'd be better than using another app.
Any ideas?
Hmmmm never heard of this problem as my GS3 always vibrates when answered. Im on Stock Leaked JB LI7 Firmware Rooted and not having a problem with it at all mate.

Ahhh... once I read that you didn't have that problem, I went deep, deep into the settings, and although I thought I looked everywhere, I didn't hit the call settings menu under the stock dialer. There's an option for setting call alerts and I saw it there.
Thanks for the feedback. I can rest in peace now I've been on every single leaked JB release and I've never had it work!
Glad you got it all sorted now mate

Question Pixel 6 Contacts Bug

Hi good people of XDA, Iam facing a serious issue in the Contacts app of my new Google Pixel 6.
When I call somebody and they answer their phone, the call shows as "Private number" in the Recents tab.
If they do not answer, then the contact name is shown normally, as it should.
Take a look at the screenshot here: https://postimg.cc/jL1yT1NX
All items shown as "Private" are calls that I made and they answered.
I've searched online, but i didn't find anything related to this issue. Am i he only one who is facing it?
Any insights could help a lot.

Looks like your carrier is blocking caller ID on outgoing calls or you somehow enabled it on your own. I know with Verizon I can block my number on all calls or on a case by case basis.

Hi bobby, thanks for the reply.
Caller ID is not blocked. The person that receives the call is seeing my number.

Oh I get it now. That's an odd one, I can't seem to find a setting where that would change things.
Maybe an app you have is messing things up. Have you tried making a call while in safe mode?

Explain safe mode please.
When you are on the the Emergency, Lockdown, Power Off... Etc screen, long press on Power Off. It will give you an option to reboot into Safe Mode.
Safe mode disables all of the apps you installed so you can see if it's an app causing the issue.
Just reboot again to get out of safe mode.
Go to settings > apps > all apps, tap on the 3 dots (upper right) and 'Show system' apps. Then try clearing cache and data for:
- dialer (phone app)
- phone storage
- contacts app
- contacts storage
Then reboot.
Not sure if that will help, but does not do any harm, it will resync all your contacs.
Hi all,
Thank you for your replies. I tried both suggestions.
I rebooted in safe mode and tried calling my wife.
The problem persisted.
I tried clearing data and cache for the apps suggested and rebooting the phone.
The problem persisted.
The strange thing while I am calling the phone of the contact is shown in the dialer. As soon as the person I am calling answers the phone their name is replaced and the dialer app shows "Private number" instead.
I am really confused!

Post it on Reddit r/GooglePixel sub. This can't be unique. I'm thinking carrier related but just a shot in the dark at this point.

I'm intrigued. Which carrier? Do you have wifi calling you can try out?
Maybe something in permissions manager?
Hello! We have the same problem. On my wife's phone (Pixel 6), the phone writes private number for outgoing calls. There is no problem with incoming calls. Like Gonik, I tried everything, but nothing helped.
We live in Hungary and our mobile service provider is Telekom.
Carrier: Cablenet
Wifi calling: not supported
My next step is to try a sim card from a different carrier.

I am relieved that I am not alone! At the same time, I am sorry your wife is going through the same problem.
Hopefully Google will acknowledge it soon.

Yes, it would be nice to fix it because the error is pretty frustrating. And on top of that, she got the phone from me as a gift.
Omg, I am not alone. So I bought unlocked phone in USA, and I am using it in Serbia (Europe) on mts network. ChrYslerHUN is in neighboring Hungary, so it could be related to usa/europe differences and European carriers.
But still, I have never seen anything like that, and it is quite frustrating. What does outgoing calls have to do with carriers. Your phone. should know which numbers you dialed, right.

I'm having the exact same issue. Not only me, my wife also has a Pixel 6 and is experiencing the same problem. I've searched in Google but only found a couple of posts in Reddit and this one. Has anyone found a solution for this? It's kind of annoying. I'm from Spain.
Happy New Year to Everyone!
In the meantime, I installed another dialer application that can also record calls, so the problem is partially resolved, as it shows the called party properly during recordings. Regardless, it would even be nice to have an official fix for the bug.
The dialer application name is: ACR Phone
ACR Phone - Apps on Google Play
Privacy respecting phone dialer app with SIP and call recording support
play.google.com
