Hi all,
I love being able to add pauses to numbers, to enable me to redirect our support telephone at work from anywhere. But there is a snag. This is the number:
0211xxxxxxxxx,**700xxxxx#,#1
Click to expand...

(x is a number, sorry, but wouldn't want anyone to use this)
This worked fine on my old Galaxy S2, with stock rom and with custom rom. On my Galaxy S5 it kind of works.
When I dial it from my contact list it does its thing and seems to stop at the second comma (this is only a guess...), after that the call stops and the redirection is not working.
If I do the same while on speaker, it works as expected.
Now I guess, that no one here will be able to solve my problem from this vague description, but you might have ideas to send me in the right direction. Could it be, that pauses on speaker differ from those not on speaker, for example in length?
Thank you for your ideas
Sven
I used to do the same for making Google voice calls for specific numbers, dial my gv # then pause, then 2, then pause, then dial then number I wanted to call, then press #.
I found on my S5 I had to do three comas before the 2 and two comas after it, or it would not work.
Also, try using the wait option in the "sym" menu

Hi finndo,
Thank you very much for your enlightening post! I was very surprised when I read about three commas, but I'm definitely going to try
The only thing I can't find is the 'sym' menu, where can I find that?
Thank you very much
Sven

EDIT: just getting rid of some erroneous words
On the dialer screen in a contact, when adding the phone number, should be in the bottom right, second one up.

I am planning to buy HTC MyTouch 4G soon.
Before that I want to ensure the following.
Is it possible to enter numbers in dialer using the optical track ball by moving the cursor?
I used to enter numbers using the direction keys in a Huawei mobile phone i had.
Entering numbers in touch screen may be superior but i have special needs to be eyes free on the phone while working.
Thats why
Your findings would be the deciding factors for me so please help me.

Just tried on my wifes phone which is stock 2.2.1 and you are unable to use the trackpad to select numbers. Conversely, I am using faux123's aosp rom and you can use the trackpad to select numbers and make the call. Only thing is when you open up the dialer, it opens on your call log first, so you have to scroll to the left for the dialer and then down...you may want to stick to a physical keyboard to ensure accuracy though...

While you working, are you ok to use voice commands? MyTouch has Genius button, that seems to work nice for me.
Long press button, Say "Call *name*" and it works.

Thank you very much for your quick reply.
So you are able to select numbers via vanilla Android Dialer and are not able select numbers via HTC Sense dialer using the optical trackball.
Am i right ?
Once again i sincerely appreciate your efforts.

Actually my problem lies in dialing phone numbers not already stored in my mobile phone's address book.
I use Cyberion Voice Speed Dial to dial phone numbers that are already stored in the mobile phone.

Try to say a 11 or 10 digit number and check it's accuracy.
Like 08026783377 Or 09475635452.

"please try again" maybe it cannot recognize my accent or something...
Mytouch...
Hey, did you know that there is a Mytouch Slide that is out now on the tmobile website that has a full slide out keyboard...I think that would be the way to go
Actually I hold and use mobile phones single handedly.
so slide out keyboards are not comfortable for me

Hello everyone,
I have had the Nexus 4 for a few months and am for the most part happy with it. I am not a power user by any means,but the pure android experience has been very helpful to me. I just started a new career which required a lot of traveling to different locations and scheduling and the calendar and navigation have been like a godsend for me. The notetaking apps like keep are great too. Like having your own personal assistant.
There are few things I still struggle with, particually on the phone end. I tranferred my contacts over from a blackberry, I think google did this automatically. It takes me a while to scroll down to a contact(voice recog does not work great for names) - is there a "better" way to set-up your contacts for easier acess or to enhance voice dialing? I feel it takes me much longer to find a contact than to set the navigation system to a new location. Anyone find a good solution for this?
Thanks,
Rick
Hello... I'm new here too... After using a blackberry I missed the name search here on Nexus.. The stock dialer in my opinion is ****.. Try exdialer..

Start dialing the contact name on the dial pad, this might only be a feature on custom ROMs though. If you drag the list on the right, it should scroll faster, going by letter instead of one contact at a time. This should work on stock.
You can search for a contact. Also you can add favorites for faster access to them

What he said. You can search for a contact in the Phone app by name.
On several of the old flip phones I've had, before Android, they had a feature where you could block your caller ID for one call only.
Is that available on custom ROM or app?
It's useful in that normally I let my Caller ID go through when I'm making a call. But occasionally I don't want whom I'm calling to know my number, so I block it. But then many times forget to go through the several step process to unblock it again. On several old pre-Androd phones I had, you could block you ID for one call only, and then it would go back to the previous setting.
Just dial *67 before dialing the number. I think that still works give it a try. Maybe that's just a landline thing not sure. Doesn't hurt to try

I'll try it again, but in the past, it didn't work from cell phones, which is why I liked the old option from the phones menu. But, perhaps it does work now, which is why I don't see the option anymore..

Thank you. But that's the whole point of the question...so I don't have to go through a 8 step process!
Hey
It isnt really a problem, but it kinda disturb me-when clicking on someone's name on contacts it immediatly calls him, is there any way to disable that ? for example, in galaxy S4-when you swipe the contact to the right it calls him and when you press it it shows info about him.
Please help me disabling that, thanks
Press on the contact image for options, use a 3rd party contacts application if that is useless to you.

That actually only occurs if you go through the Phone application. If you launch the People application instead, pressing on the contact takes you to the contact info.
Go for exDialer. Hands down the best, detailed and smoothest contacts/phone app replacement around.. For me at least. Try it.

Call Confirm.
Hello.
Sorry to ask such a basic question but I'm without my pc for over a week now and can't find the answer by searching from my phone.
I need to extend the duration of the ring of an incoming call, before it diverts to voicemail as unanswered.
There used to be settings in the call menu but I can't seem to find them anymore. I'm on latest stock ROM, 4.3.
Please could anyone help?
Thank you.

What u can do is disable/modify ur voicemail. U can do that calling ur Company brand. In Spain u can dial ##002# and disable it automatically.

Did this recently and it works, but remember, the maximum is 30 seconds.

Thanks for your help. I want to keep voicemail though.
The next response will do the job, but I remember a setting in the menu from a previous revision of Android on my last phone. Wondered if we still had that.
Cheers.

Thank you, this will do me.
Shame that there doesn't seem to be a setting in the menu.
I ran CM on my last phone and I thought the menu had a setting to adjust the length of time.
