i have BetaMax Dialer installed and up until about a week ago, when ever I went to make a call, a pop up would appear asking "complete action using" and then I could choose either BetaMax, Skype or the stock phone dialer.
Now for some reason, it doesn't do it anymore and goes straight to the stock dialer with no options popping up. I have reset to factory default 3 times now. Still, everything is greyed out under "Phone" in the Application Manager so no chance to "clear defaults.
I have even tried using other dialers trying to reset it somehow but no joy.
Anyone know whats going on or got any tips ?

I have had my EVO for close to 6 months now without ever having an issue. I have been running MIUI for a little over a month and never had any issues. I recently just updated to the newest build, and when i restored all my apps (one of which was google voice) i realized i stopped receiving my text messages. After researching the issue i found a ton of similar people saying that google voice was the cause of it. So i set my google voice up and tested it.. and i WAS able to get my texts but only if i use the Google Voice. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall it like 50x, and i've gone onto google.com/voice and disabled it and re-enabled it 50x. I have checked the box that says 'Allow text messages to go to this phone' or something like that, I've checked every possible setting on Google Voice.. Nothing. So i figured okay, I'll do a full factory reset back to Sense. I DID THIS, AND STILL NOTHING, so then i did a full factory reset, and didn't sign into my Google Account, still no texts. Basically it's like Google Voice has taken my phone number over and is not allowing my text messages to go through and no matter what i do to disable or uninstall it, nothing works.. I have to use google voice to get my texts.. So then i contact Sprint and i've spoken to 3 different reps who have tried everything from their end even attempting to remove google voice from their end to get my texts to go through. I've done everything but change my number. Right now i'm on sense and Another thing i realized is.. I cannot do the ## commands in the phone dialer.. Like two commands i know are ##DATA# and another is ##MSL-CODE# but when i type them in .. the phone dialer just hangs and freezes and no menu comes up. I've done almost 5 factory resets, I've tried not logging into my google account on my phone, I've uninstalled google voice from my phone and from my PC.. Sprint is telling me that they'll waive my 100 fee for the insurance phone, but since i run MIUI, the new insurance phone wont be able to be rooted and i'll be stuck with SENSE and i do not want that. DOES ANYONE, ANYONE AT ALL Have any clue what-so-ever that might be the cause or any hack or possible thing i could do to fix this, and why do you think that the ## codes are not working on my stock sense rom either? Everything else on my phone works entirely fine except receving texts through my native app and using those codes on my sense rom in the dialer. I can't receieve texts on MIUI or Sense through their native apps... the only way to get them is through Google Voice.. Please anyone! HELP ME!
Google voice did that to me, too and I had to work my ass off to get it to go away!
Finally, I went to the website and my settings and got it to stop doing text messages, and then I called the number you call to get it to stop handling my calls.
Here ya go

That's because the phone number is associated with Google voice, not your account, so a factory reset wouldn't help pas the number is still there
Nevermind, just ignore this post.
Hi,
After flashing so many times my device in search for the best rom for me i think i found a bug in 2.3.x stock roms.
Go to Privacy - Factory data reset - Reset phone
The phone reboots, the Samsung logo appears and you will be prompted to insert your pin.
Insert your pin, choose your language and press next until you finish the wizard.
Go to Call Settings - Voicemail and your voice mail number should be configured
Go to Date and time and check if the phone automatically set your timezone
NOW, if you do exactly the same thing i post but instead of typing your pin right away wait for media scanner to stop completely and then go to the rest of the procedures you'll see that your timezone will be the phone's default one and you won't have voice mail settings from your operator.
This is not a monstrous bug, but it's still a bug.
Also i don't know if other settings are missing, these are the only one's i found.
I could reproduce it in JVA and JVH stock roms, i'm curious if this happens in custom roms and most of all why it happens.
Hello. I got a nexus 4 2 weeks ago and after installing apps like skype and whatsapp and other things I sometimes get asked which app I would like to do a certain action. For example, if i go into contacts and press the message icon it asks if i want to use whatsapp, SMS, or skype.
Now, it did this for calls too, it asked me to choose between skype or regular phone, and I chose "always use" for regular phone. However, now I've changed my mind.
My question is, if you select "always use", is it possible to change the settings and let you choose which app you would like to do the action with? In this case I want to be able to choose between using skype or regular phone when I go into contacts and press on a number.
*Edit: I have tried deleting data and cache of skype, but no luck. pressing a number in my contacts still doesn't ask me to choose between skype or regular phone.
Edit 2: OK I found out thanks to a friend that i should clear defaults in phone. i got it now. This thread can be deleted, or locked for anyone else with similar issues.
Yes, go into Settings - Apps - All then click Phone and Contacts and all the ones you selected and then click clear cache and it will ask you again.
Sorry, not 'Clear Cache' its "Clear Defaults"
Settings>>App>>Click top right>>Reset App Preferences
I have an unrooted, Nougat-running S7 Edge, and I'm having a unique problem. (My apologies if this is discussed elsewhere, nothing came up in my search.)
After hard-resetting my phone, I asked Google Now to call someone, and selected Hangouts Dialer. Unfortunately I found out that this practically breaks calling in Android Auto, so I tried to clear the default. I went to both Hangouts and Hangouts dialer, but neither of them have any defaults to clear. I even cleared Google, to no avail. I went as far as uninstalling Hangouts Dialer (which made it revert to the default dialer), but when I reinstalled it, it went back to using Dialer!
Short of hard-resetting my phone again (which I really don't want to do) how do I clear the Dialer as default? What am I missing?
I have lineageos 14.1 and the default Phone app. When I call a number, I can't access the call pad. Also the 'on going call' option is missing from the top menu. I just uninstalled Should I answer? app and it must have messed something up. I tried reinstalling Phone but it didn't help.
Problem is with automated systems "press 1 to speak to... press 2 for ...." I can no longer access.

How exactly did you reinstalled it the phone? Did you wipe system and data and then flash rom along with gapps?
There was some setting that didn't have a value, in system preferences the default dialer app was set to "none". Changing it back to Phone fixed the problem.
