Popup on Dialer - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a ZTE N986 (Android 4.2.1) phone, it has dual SIM mode (CDMA & GSM) and I use them both.
Everytime I want to make a call using the GSM, there's this popup appears : http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=o7sg93&s=5
With a little research, I find that it appears only if I use local number format in my country (Indonesia, which like "0211234567". Three first digits is Jakarta code by the way.) It doesn't show if I use international format (e.g. +62211234567).
Now it reads "China" in greyed box on top, I think it has to do with locale settings, so I change my language settings to Bahasa Indonesia but it doesn't work. I even done rooting in order to use MoreLocale app but it doesn't work either. And I can't find any settings or any app relating this popup.
Honestly it's not a big deal, I can still make a call by tapping "local call" on the popup, but you know, time I spend to solve this rather than, like change my contacts phone number format makes me even more curious.
Please help me, thanks in advance

Country Code +1 (plus one) being dialed for contacts synched from Outlook

I have run into a problem which I believe started after I ran the titan_1.40_radio into my XV6800.
MS Outlook places the country code before all the contacts phone numbers and the country code for the US is +1 so at this point all the phone numbers in my contacts have +1 in front of the area code.
I had been synching my contacts between Outlook and my phone before installing this version of the radio and this was not a problem previously. I tried restoring the official VZW ROM today and that did not help, when dialing off the contact list I either get 3 beeps or a recorded message that the call cannot go through. If I dial myself, without a +1, the call goes through just fine. The reason I think it is the radio is because this is the only change I can isolate back to the start of the problem.
This brings me to my question, does anyone know where I can pull the original version of the VZW radio?
Has anyone else noticed this issue?

From the Mogul user manual:
3.10 Customizing Plus Code Dialing
You can customize how phone numbers that begin with a plus “+” sign will be dialed.
1. Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab >Phone > Services tab, or tap Menu > Options on the Phone screen and then tap the Services tab.
2. Select Plus Code Dialing, and then tap Get Settings.
3. To place local and international calls from the United States, select Enable under North American dialing.
When you place calls, the “+” sign at the beginning of phone numbers that you dial will be replaced as follows:
 When you enter a long distance phone number that starts with “+1”, the “+” will be removed and the rest of the number will be dialed. For example, if you entered +1 416 123 4567, the number to be dialed will be 14161234567.
 When you enter an international phone number that starts with a “+” followed by a digit other than 1, the “+” will be replaced with the United States international dialing code, which is already set by default. For example, if you entered +58 212 123 4567, the number to be dialed will be 011582121234567.
Tip:
If you modified the international dialing code, you can tap Reset to change it back to the default.

Thanks for the feedback and this is begining to identify the source of the problem and helped resolve it.
I went to Start > Settings > Personal tab >Phone > Services tab and there is no Select Plus Code Dialing option.
Are the services listed here part of the radio? I would not think they are but without flashing back to the stock VZW ROM I can not be sure.
I searched my registry for plus and found a few entries that appear to be related to this in:
HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\PlusCodeDialing
I have only the following three (along with (default) of course), they are:
PlusCodeEnable = 0
PlusCodeNumber = +
ResetNumber = +
Would you be willing to check your settings for these and post them here along with the the setting defined in your Start > Settings > Personal tab >Phone > Services tab > Select Plus Code Dialing settings?
I am curious if there are perhaps registry entries I am missing at this point.
I have changed the PlusCodeEnable from 0 to 1 and this has taken care of my problem for now. I will keep my eye on it as I build other ROMs and try to identify where it comes in from and how it comes in with the stock VZW ROM. I will most likely add it to the list of additional registry entries I include in ROMs as well.
I am still curious about how this is working for others out there cooking ROMS with DCD's kitchen.
Thanks,

I am running Energy ROM on my HTC Imagio. I store all my contact numbers using the plus code since I have numbers of people residing in different countries and have the same issue.
I have made the above changes and am able to dial numbers starting with the plus code, from the U.S. What do I have to change to dial when I am in, say, India? India's country code is 91 and the calling rules are a little more complicated than in the U.S. When calling international numbers, the + has to be replaced by 00. When calling long distance in India, the +91 has to be replaced with 0. I assume the rules must be different for other countries in Asia and Europe as well.
I was able to access an "Assisted Dialing" menu in the phone menu on the stock ROM but this menu does not exist in the modified ROM. Is it possible to add the Assisted Dialing option to modified ROMs? If so, that might be all I need. I would like to make sure I can dial using my contact list before traveling outside the U.S.
Thanks!
Can anyone tell me the registry setting to get plus code dialing to work for text messages too? I have edited my registry as mentioned here and it works fine for making phone calls. However, if I send a text to a country outside the U.S. using the plus coded phone number, it does not go out. If I replace + with 011, it works. I am able to send text messages to a plus coded number in the U.S. though.
Hope someone can help. It is a pain having to enter the whole number starting with 011-countrycode manually instead of using the plus coded number from the contact list. Thanks!

[Q] Area Codes in Caller IDs

I have searched for this and found the same question posted in a HD2 Android category, but there were no responses... so asking for myself in here.
I have all my phone numbers listed in my contacts with the preceeding area code, as I often travel outside of the local area and need those area codes included in my contacts numbers..... ie: all my phone numbers are 10 digits in length.
However, there doesn't seem to be a requirement for the area code to be sent, when a caller has Caller-ID enabled. In other words, I receive some calls from contacts in my phone, but if their phone doesn't include the area code in their Caller-ID, then my phone doesn't recognise or identify the number. Consequently, when hanging up from those calls, it constantly asks me if I want to save the number.
Note - it isn't a permanent thing. Many incoming calls DO identify correctly, as the area code has obviously been sent with C-ID.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Obviously I COULD go thru every contact and manually add another non-area-coded phone number - perhaps under an obscure phonebook entry, like "pager"... but surely this is something that one would expect be handled automatically by the phone... not by duplicating entries as a work-around.
What would happen for business-people who travel internationally - most of their contacts would also include the "+61" (or whichever) country code also.....
Nobody ???
Bumping again ????
Anybody have any clues to this?
Did you try disabling the Area Code Prefix setting in Settings -> Call Settings ?

Thanx mate for your reply.
Sorry took so long.... my phone has been in for warranty repair (unrelated matter to this) for the last 7 weeks, so I haven't logged onto xda in that time !!!
No..... I haven't tried disabling the AC Prefix setting. I will have a look at that and see if it makes any difference.
One additional comment..... I am also having the REVERSE problem.... in that SOME people who ring me on their mobiles, the caller ID is also sending the +61 (Australia) country code in front of their mobile number too.... so again, my phone isn't recognising them as being the "same" number as what is stored in my phonebook ????
Will try the disable thing you mention and report if it works.
Sorry mate... cannot find the setting you mention.
Could you explain please exactly where it is ?

Or you could turn off having the phone ask to to add the number to your contacts.
On the US T-Mobile phone it is:
Activate phone screen
Menu
Options
Menu
Network Selection
Advanced tab
Turn off the feature to "Add new phone number to People at end of call"
I'm using the NRG ROM.
Thanks stevedebi.
Sorry - I mite not have been properly clear.
The issue isn't being asked to save a new number.
The issue is.... the phone does not recognise a number - mobile or landline - if there is an area-code or country-code prefixed to the number (or vice versa) with the entry in the phone book.
Eg: ALL my contacts saved in my phone have their mobile numbers WITHOUT the +61 country code.... and ALL landline numbers are saved WITH area-codes.
Now - depending on my contact's phone operators, they sometimes send with, or without, those prefixes in their caller ID's.
Consequently - on those occasions.... my phone does not recognise incoming calls or messages as having come from my contacts, due to the extra numbers at the beginning.
Surely this is a software issue from HTC? I mean, surely the software should be able to query an incoming called ID (either with or without prefixed-codes) with a saved number in the contacts/phonebook (with or without prefixed-codes)... ???
Bumping again ?
Sorry to be repetitive.... still looking for an answer to this ???
Check you registry setting for "HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch" value=?!?
try to reduce the number for "Value" by 1 and try.
This is for the number of digits your phone will check when comparing incoming numbers with stored names.
Thanx Omar,
Will try that. Question though.... does it check the phone number (by number of digits) in reverse order? ie: setting a particular number will have no effect, if it checks in normal forward order, as it's PREFIXES that are making things wrong.... so the phone needs to ONLY check the LAST 10 digits.... not the first 10. This will eliminate the issue with any country-code added to the front of a number... but will not help with a local area code, as these are dependent on the callers' carrier, if they send the area code in the CID or not
From my experience with my HTC phones, it checks the last digits.
I have number saved with the +974 international code (for Qatar), & when local call come in, they only show the local format (without +974) & the caller ID still recognises the names. Our local numbers are 8 digits, so I have the registry value set at 7 or 8 & it works fine.

[Q] selective internet calling (app or widget)?

Hi,
(sorry if wrong forum)
I have an SGS2 running ICS and have setup my android's SIP client (internet calling) in phone > settings > internet call settings ("Accounts" and "Use internet calling", at the bottom).
I call many international numbers through sip. If I set the option "Use internet calling" to "Ask for every call", then every time I dial a number it asks whether to use "Mobile phone call" or "Internet call". If I choose the latter, then the call is made through my sip provider saving me lots of money.
It would be really useful if there was an app that would intercept calls to certain numbers I configure and change to internet call mode on the fly. The "prefixer" app does something close with prefixing/suffixing numbers.
Alternatively, I would also be happy with a widget that allows me to switch that phone option between "Ask for every call" and "Only for Internet calls" when tapped, so I don't have to navigate through menus all the time. For a dev this shouldn't be that hard I presume since it would just alter an existing OS option.
Is there any app/widget for this?
Cheers
I'm not aware of any apps/widgets, but using ICS you can simply put those numbers in as "Internet Call" fields.
Set your outbound SIP calling preference to "Internet Calls Only," then edit each of your overseas contacts and move their international numbers into the "Internet Call" field (click "Add New Field," then select "Internet Call" from the list).
This page explains it much better;
https://support.google.com/ics/nexus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1645041
Thanks. The problem is that I visit those countries often enough to not want to do that. When I'm in that country, then I'd like to call direct s editing numbers back and forth becomes unattractive.
I found out that the "Prefixer" app actually does allow this. I match the numbers and automatically add the suffix @sip.domain.com (or whatever the SIP proxy host name is). It works but sometimes does not intercept the outgoing call so I have to be vigilant and cancel it quickly. Most of the times it works so I'm ok with the solution.
p.s. there are tons of SIP apps, some which do have call intercept features, but they don't work very well from what I found.

On Google Play there's the SIP Switch Widget, which does what you're searching for.
You can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.siebeck.sipswitch (unfortunately I'm not yet allowed to post links...)
Yeah this is a bummer for me. I wish I could just hold the call button for example to see a popup internet call / not if SIP (internet calling) settings were filled in Phone Settings. Another great feature would just be to define the local area code IE:416 and everything else would be over internet calling.
Simple eh? Too bad Google couldn't figure it out
It seems Sipswitch 1.0.7 doesn't work on Kitkat

Works for me. Dialer settings don't always show the correct settings, but calls are made with whatever the widget says they should be. To see the current settings, unload the dialer from memory, then check the selected setting.

Huh, now I was able to add the widget. It seems it works OK. Thanks for advice regarding dialer.

[Q] App that adds prefix to dialed number? Calling card app maybe?

So I have tried about 10 apps so far that none seem to do what I am looking to accomplish. I am hoping that someone may have a suggestion.
I have a dial in phone system that allows me access to a dial tone. So if want to be able to select a number from my history, contacts or a clickable link and have it prompt which dialer I want to use. If I choose this app it should dial MY number and enter my access code THEN dial the number I was trying to call.
So for example I am trying to call 212-555-1212 and my number is 212-666-1212 it should dial:
212-666-1212[mynumber],,[pause]1234[accesscode],,[pause] 212-555-1212
I have found a few apps that seem to do this, however they have integrated them in such a way where it will only automatically enter into the "Calling card mode" based on dialing rules (Such as area code and country code) there is no way to manually select when to utilize the "calling card mode" and when not to,
I was thinking if there is a Alternative Dialer that supports calling cards, it will add the necessary hooks into the OS and then I can just manually select which app to use to make calls (Either the stock dialer or this new dialer)
Have never looked into this kind of issue, but this seems like it might have the options you are looking for...?

Question Few Bugs so far

Hi,
i've been using this phone for the past month (CN Version, Currently on 21) or so and so far I encountered the following problems:
1. Cannot Change the Default Messaging app.
2. Cannot set google as the default assistant
3. Cannot get VOLTE and Vowifi to work for me (Briefly had Xiaomi and used the code to force it to work).
4. Auto brightness keeps screwing up.
5. Cannot disable the market app
if anyone can help, that would be great.
And alot of missed things:
Missing "Choose date format" option. We are locked on american format, month/day/year.
Missing pocket mode.
Missing DeepTool for Android 11 to unlock bootloader. Speaking with support via mail, the answer is:
"Thank you for writing to us, we would like to inform you that
Bootloader unlock support is not yet available for Android 11, please stay tuned over official community."
Edge lighting is limited to 2 warnings. Need that option to be unlimited, until you see the notification. Like led notification before.
Missing "Vibration pattern" on calls.
Missing option to change sim in dialer if you choose a prefered sim. Prefered, not mandatory. If you want to call somebody with the second sim after you set prefered sim, you need to change that to the second sim to call. Too complicated.
Missing contacts manager option. So, you don't have posibility to import/export contacts, to hide contacts without number, to sort contacts in different ways, to merge contacts with same number, to choose what contacts to display(from phone, from witch google account, from sim, etc).
Missing navigation bar customization. To choose whats is happening if you press home twice, or if you press long on back button etc.
Missing option to return call and same sim you get the call.
For me it's not acceptable to launch a phone without posibility to unlock the phone(bootloader, recovery, root) for power users. Now, for me, realme GT it's a beast in a cage.And tied with chains by realme staff.

Seems far too many issues to be able to love this device.
I don't believe Realme software developers intend to tie anything, it's not logical to hinderi purchasers on purpose.
Realme deveopers are simply inadequate and require more time as many bugs were most probably unknown prior to roll out of the device.
....and by the time this Realme can function perfectly, it'll be time for upgrade due to end of the 3 years security support.
Hey. Bought my phone yesterday on Amazon sold/sent by Amazon (Poco F3 died in water).
I don't know why but my phone was already with developer options unlocked. Is it normal?
Besides that, the phone gives a pretty good feeling except a few bugs of ui here and there (full screen gesture often bring me back stock launcher for example.. Same was for the poco) and that I don't see any custom roms/twrp compared to poco F3.
Also noticed that I can't add French dictionary on top of English (set my phone in English) and on whatsapp I have words with underline when I write in French hum.
edit: returned my phone and sticking with my S10e.
