Missing voice call in contacts - Galaxy S I9000 General

Hi
I've just upgraded to 2.2 (standard Europe JPO rom).
In my contacts I have a "message" button and "video call" button. What happened to the "voice call" button? I cannot make a voice call using the contacts without remembering the number in the contacts and keying the number directly.
Has anyone else seen this problem? Is there a configuration setting I've missed, or is there a fix?
Any help is kindly appreciated.

Simply click on the number to make a voice call.

Well I'l be.... Thanks amwebby. I guess I got too used to seeing the button in Eclair (2.1) that it didn't occur to me.

Mine usually does, but NOT over Bluetooth headset (that's explained in the documentation). However, if the calling number isn't identifiable (e.g., no caller ID), it won't announce anything at all. I've also noticed that sometimes it stops announcing incoming calls altogether; probably a reset will help, or perhaps it doesn't announce when ActiveSync or other connections are in operation, not sure...I'll keep an eye on mine and let you know. In any case, it can be spotty, sometimes yes and sometimes no. Cheers,

sorry if this sounded wrong but crap referes to the problem & not the forum, am here since 2 years, i have provided solution & would never leave this forum
anyhow i went back to 1.5 its perfect, untill someone figures the problem i will install 1.6 back
regards
I as well am runnin 1.6 and names get annouced, but not thru bluetooth either I must've missed that in the documentation because it is set to bluetooth. But even "unknown callers" have their numbers read out aloud

Calls DON'T "send directly to voicemail" with JFv1.51

I'm not sure if this is because of Cupcake, or JF's mod of it. But it did begin after I updated to CRB43.
To recap: Each contact page, at the very bottom, has a checkbox saying "Incoming calls: Send calls directly to voicemail". Useful for people calling about "extended vehicle warranties" and their ilk. I know it worked before, because I put at least 20 numbers in that contact, and it made all those calls go straight to voicemail -- no ringer, no vibration.
But after I applied the new firmware, it won't send them to voicemail, not immediately. It vibrates, it rings normally, and /then/ goes to voicemail, just like a regular missed call. I tried to uncheck, then recheck the box, to no avail.
Is this a known problem? Where might I report this if it's a suspected bug?
I've noticed that as well after moving to JFv1.51.
this happened to me after re-checking i believe it is working...

I was trying to uncheck and check, then save (all on the same edit). What I've tried now, and hope works, is...
Edit contact
Uncheck item
Save
Edit contact again
Check item
Save again
Something else I just noticed: I seem to have lost audible touchtones on the dialpad, too. Could it be the Lucid loudness change I made? JF? 1.5 itself? Who knows.
Sending calls to voicemail: Fixed
Edit contact
Uncheck "Send directly to voicemail"
Save contact
Edit contact again
Check voicemail box again
Save once again

This does appear to solve the problem. To be clear, you can't just toggle the box off and on and leave -- you must follow the sequence above.
...touchtones on the dialpad, too. Could it be the Lucid loudness change I made? JF? 1.5 itself?...

I'll diagnose the new "loss of audible DTMFs" in a new post.

How to tell time of call in call history?

Is there a way of showing the time of each call in the call history list?
..when you click on the call you have the duration!
Thanks for your reply, but it was the time of the call, not the duration, that I wanted - e.g. call received at 6:28pm. When I click on a call it simply re-dials the number

Instead of clicking on the call, click the contact card on the right side.
This will list all calls from that number with times.
When I click the contact card to the right of the call details it either:
- does nothing (if the number is in my address book), or
- asks me if I want to add the number to my contacts (if the number is not in my address book).
Is this behaviour configurable to get it to work the way you describe?
May be default config for WM6.5.
I assume you're on WM6.1?
I tested with both calls from address book and not in address book, both gave me times.
Yes I'm on WM6.1. Anyone know if it's modifiable behaviour?
i'm using wm 6.1 stock rom, go to menu then choose call history then you can click contact card and see the date, time and duration for any number even if it is not saved to address book
but when the call is from an unknown number, it will do nothing when I press on the contact card. You can only see the date of call if the call was not received today...

I'm not actually using TF3D - I use SPB Mobile Shell 3. Is that maybe why I can't see call history for numbers which are not in my contacts?

Dialer behaviour R2BA020

Hi all,
I am with Rogers and just upgraded to R2BA020. I notice previously from tapping a contact number contacts, it can dial out directly. But now it is extremely annoying that I tap the contact number, it puts the number into the dialer (screen with dialing pad), then I hit the call to dialout.
Does anybody find the dial from contacts behaviour changed?
Is there a dialer that can completely replace the stock one?
Thanks
i haven't received any updates for my phone yet, but that sounds more hassle to make a call now. maybe this change is for people who complained about accidentally tapping on the number and it calls out when they did not intend to do so. mind as well just tap and hold on the contact's name and select make a call to mobile/home/office
Meh, that doesn't seem too bad, but it is annoying nonetheless. I think if you dial, and put the phone by your ear, it should use the proximity sensor to realize it should start calling.
Android Variations: Check em out!
Yes, i too noticed this ! Funny instead of making the call process easier its now actually longer !
The workaround is to go to ur phonebook & long press the contact to call.
yup, long press can skip the dialpad but it brings up another box to click through before calling....
I have never came across a phonebook with any phone that is 2 clicks before it dials. It is just pure annoying. They got it right the first time, I don't know why SE messed it up now.
yeah, i have a rooted x10a to the 23 firmware, and its taking me to the dailer after i hit my contact's number. this is rather annoying, we gotta find a fix for it!!
Yes I noticed that too. I find it annoying. Is there a work around to this?
I use another dialler called aTAKEphONE, it will dial directly.
There is a trial available at shsh.com

Incoming call text back feature

For the life of me, I can't find where to edit the responses without actually editing it when I'm receiving a call. Does anyone know where to find the list of responses for this so I can add a few? TIA
settings --> call settings -->All Calls -->> Reject Call With Message
You can add a message and edit/delete message by hitting the menu button.

Don't use it if you use Google Voice...
It responds from your actual cell number :-(

Google Voice has the option to mark numbers as spam, so when I have to use my phone to call people I don't necessarily want to be able to call me back I use it and if there is a problem google Voice eliminates it. I don't give out my t-mobile number because then people will bother me.
Fortunately the person who i rejected with a text was not bright and asked who was texting. I apologized and said "Sarah", they said they didn't know a Sarah and I said oh, sorry wrong number... Then I called them back from GV later that night.
