[Q] Flash button for 3-way calling? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Okay, I'm rooted with the Negalite Aroma ROM. I rooted the second I got the GS4. Does the Stock OS come with a flash button to click over if you're on a 3-way call? I have no clue how to click over on this ROM.
(I don't have enough posts to reply in the Negalite thread, and I've search on these forums as well as Google)

Tap call icon and slide to the right to answer the call.
Tap call icon and slide to the right to answer the next call.
Tap Putting “Name/Number” on hold to put the first call on hold.
Join the first two callers into a single multi-party call by tapping Merge icon.
To temporarily leave the conference call, tap Hold icon. To rejoin the conference call tap Unhold icon.
Tap End call icon to end the call.
Try that and let me know how that works for you.

Ok.. Now I tried it I don't think that will work, but you can try it too. On stock there is a "add call" button from the screen when you're in a call. When you hit that button it opens up the dialer again. Then you are able to call another number, after that you just merge the calls together.

i have been desperately trying to find a solution to this.
this feature is available on AOSP based roms (and works) and it's also available on stock S4's from other carriers like T-mobile and ATT. Sprint is removing this feature for no reason.
Maybe it's possible to port the in call dialer from another carrier.

Go into Wanam and under the phone menu there is an option to restore the add call function.

Conference calling

I conference call a lot but I haven't figured out how to merge calls on the note 3 yet. All it says is swap.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
On my vzw note 3, there is only "add call" and "merge" (no option for "swap").
Normally on VZW stock I9 ROM you need to press menu to get to "add call", let the first call pick up, then you need to press menu "merge" once the second call picks up. I have the Wanam Xposed option enabled to bring "add call" and "merge" to the main dialing screen, without the need to use menu button.
Does that help?

I'll try this out and report back

After being unable to find any resolution for this issue anywhere, I opened a discussion on the Cisco support forums under the Mobile Applications section. Hopefully, we'll get a response.

[Q] Text Blocking

So I've been googling and searching and having trouble nailing down the answer.
Friend of mine has the Galaxy S5 through Verizon
Keeps receiving texts from somebody that she doesn't want to receive texts from.
I've been trying to locate how to block the incoming text. On my S4 I see where I can choose to add the contact to "spam number." I don't see this option on the S5. I looked at the blocking list, but this only blocks a phone call I'm assuming since I added the number and she is still receiving the texts. Anywho, I was going to look in the app store but was wondering if I can do it natively. Thanks for any help.
Go to a text message from the person, tap menu (three dots on top right) , scroll down the menu and 'add to spam numbers'

If it's not there, it's Verizon messing with the phone to make room for their bloatware. How the hell they get away with that I don't know.

Yea, I should have said that doesn't work. Nowhere is there an option to add to spam numbers. That's why I'm having so much trouble. You can't long press on the message. You can't menu into it. You can't go into applications/messaging/spam. Nothing. I'm baffled.

Open the text message sent to you, while on that screen, you will see three vertically aligned dots on the upper right corner of the screen. Touch it to open the menu. Scroll down and you will see "add to spam numbers".
Nope. It's not there. First thing I tried. I can't find an option, in the phone, regarding "spam numbers" at all. Zero.

Weird. All stock firmwares should have the same interface and accessible menus. Maybe she's not using S5?
When you press the 3 dots and the menu pops up you can scroll the menu up for more options..

Verizon tends to remove a lot of features on their phones. Download booster is removed as well.
On my AT&T model using AT&T messages, you click the message, then menu (3 vert. dots). Then add click "add to contact"..."create new". then name it and save it. Within that same new contact, click the menu button at top right. There is an option to "add to reject list".
it may be similar on Verizon if it's not in the top level menu.

Maybe they do that, I'm not familiar with what they do though . I can only think of a reason they did that, maybe they are offering the spam/blocking as a network service for a fee.

Knowing Verizon, they probably do.
I had done this. But it only blocks the phone call. Not the text.
I'm assuming the same as one of the other guys here. I bet if I called Verizon they offer it as a fee. Which is a load of BS.
And yes, it is an S5.

Alternatively your friend could go to the police and file a formal complaint regarding harassment if you cannot find a block button.

Call/Message block setting enabled?
Hey guys, you can try this if you want:
You basically just need to add this to your CSC settings and it will enable a dedicated call/message blocking options in your settings.
This was posted for the Note 1 at the time but I tried it on my Note 3 and it works perfectly fine. I'm thinking it will work perfectly fine for your S5's.

[Q] What's the button next to the call button?

I know this is an odd question but I'm trying to figure out what the button to the left of the call button in the phone is. It's a picture of a microphone with a phone.
I debloated using the toolkit (Galaxy S5 ALL-IN-ONE Toolkit v1.7) and whatever it was is now deleted. I'm going through and adding back some of the things i don't consider bloat and am just wondering what this button was supposed to do.
<edit> come on, 28 people have looked at this and no response. PLEASE just click the dang thing and tell me what it does. I'll hit the thanks button.

If you tap the button it allows you to speak the name (if in contact list) or number of a person you want to call.

thanks. taking out s-voice must be what deactivated it
I'm not sure S Voice has anything to do with it, as you can also tell the button to use Google Search as a voice dialer.
Edit: Never mind, it definitely is S Voice. You can use Google Search for a voice dialer, but you still must have S Voice installed for it to work, even if you don't use it.

[Q] DTMF tones

Is there any way to adjust the length of the DTMF tones? My security door at home uses the tone from my keypad to function, like a touchtone system. But Im being told that the tone my phone puts out is too short to trigger the unlock device on the door. Ive seen where other phones can adjust the length of the tone but I can't find any way to do it on the S5. Any ideas?
Phone/settings/calls, scroll down to dtmf tones.

I dont have that as an option. I have:
Call rejection
Answering and ending calls
Call notification pop ups
In-call status pop-up
Show caller information
Call alerts
Call accessories
Additional settings
Ringtone and keypad tones
Personalize call sound
Noise reduction
Voicemail service
Voicemail settings
Sound
Vibrate
Ive gone through each one of the sub menus available and there is no mention of DTMF tones anywhere.
Oh and I have a stock Galaxy S5 with AT&T running android version 4.4.2
Seems odd that you wouldn't have a basic Kitkat setting like this. Another victory for ATT. It is there on my 900T.
Anyway, install a DTMF app then which will let you adjust the tone length e.g DTMF dialer
.
Very strange. That seems like an option every phone should have.

Yeah, just about every other phone I know of gives you the option to change it. Thanks AT&T!!
Ive tried a couple of DTMF dialers with no luck yet. Ill keep messing with them to see if I can get one to work on my security door.
The app that I suggested has an adjustable period.
Ensure that you set the duration to long or specify a period. A short DTMF burst is ~ 40 ms. A long burst is ~ 100 ms, although some equipment may be happier with very long tone bursts on the order of 250 ms.

So does this app just work by playing the tones over the speaker into another phone, or does it play the tone into my S5? Basically my security door works where you press my code on the keypad and it rings my phone (my S5). I answer the call and press 9 on the keypad and it sends the tone to the security door and unlocks it. The tone that my phone puts out now is apparently too short for the security door to pick up and wont trigger the unlock. Will this app work where I can answer the call from the security door and then press 9 then play on the app and it trigger the door? Im hoping so!

Go into your Dialer like you're going to make a phone call, type ##3282# and go to Edit in the menu that pops up. DTMF is towards the bottom. You can select short / long in there.

Do you have the modified hiddenmenu? If not you need your msl number to get to the edit menu.

I dont know anything about the modified hidden menu so I assume I don't have it. Would I need root access for that? I dont have the MSL number either. I assume I get that from AT&T? Thanks!
Yes to, you would need root access. I had an app for gett8ng your msl. Look for it in the play store.

(Forgive me if I'm incorrect, the below instructions may only apply to those of us with Verizon phones, but this is how I enabled hidden menus on my phone)
1) go to /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu and change OFF to ON
2 ) Reboot your phone.
The ##3282# menu should work after that. Also, I did not need the MSL code (again, the Galaxy S5 is globally unlocked with Verizon) but should you need it (credit to metalfan78)

None of the MSL code utilities in the play store worked, so I'll try and go the root route to unlock my hidden menu. After I root, how would I go about unlocking my hidden menu?
