HELP - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi All,
When I am in a text message and I want to dial that person, you normally just press the little telephone symbol and it dials. However mine just takes me to the number for some reason.
Any ideas would be appreciated and really annoying.
Thanks

Mine dials after I tap the phone icon. I would suggest you to enable "Direct Call" in settings>advanced features. You may have it on by default, check it.

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

Contacts arent called when clicking number

when i go into the contacts menu, choose a contact and press the number to dial, instead of going straight into dialing mode which it did before the rogers update, it now displays the number when clicking the number in which i have to press call, a whole extra step. Any ways to fix this?
i thought it should seen as a improvement?
now you can now always edit before call , previously you need to call first and edit the number from call list
Does it for me too, but as a lot of my contacts have two numbers I prefer it as I don't always tap the right number.

well, when I do travel, because of Roaming/Local numbers, I prefer the number showing up instead of call direct , STILL, I would like a fast way to call, I do at the moment 4 taps to it...
yeah, everyone has known about this one. But got this apk file from somewhere in the forum or the net (i dun remember)
hope everyone like it
yes
this is the one
the only one
thanks

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.

Call Not Sent

Using G975F Exynos, every now and then I am getting Call Not Sent error when I am trying to make a call. I can't pin point specifics that happen right before that, other than I think that the phone is playing something in the background (stream) or something like that. I try to dial from an address book and immediately the call drops and the above error shows up at the bottom. I may see (again - not scientific, but I think I noticed that occasionally) a difference between dialing from favorite contact - that is pressing the green phone icon in a favorite contact right at the top when you open the contact - vs dialing from the contact when you scroll down to see all the contact's numbers (does it make sense?!).
I would like to emphasize:
1. I don't always get this error, hence why I can't really put a finger as to what transpires right before that.
2.. It happens also when I manually dial, not just from address book.
As spoon as this happens, I see a white icon on the top that says something to the extent of "Voice is working in the background". It lasts a few seconds then disappears. Sometimes I am able to dial right after it disappears, other times I need to wait a few minutes until the phone is "ready" to make the call (no indication of when this happens, it's just a simply trial and error).
Anyone else experience this?
Thanks.
No one else has this issue?!
This is what I see in Voice when I get Call Not Sent. It can lasts from seconds to over a minute where I cannot make any call.
No one?!

Looks like it's a new issue nobody had before i'll put in my 10 cents and say that your app is somehow tied to something else and hence (Busy) and unable to dial i think you're on the right track. I would go into your list of apps i find out which app has the ability to make calls like Viber, fb messenger, skype and disable one by one to find out which one is doing it. Look for that icon you see in that screenshot you posted it doesn't look like a default dialer app icon to me.

It looks to me as the Google Voice app, but I don't necessarily call using GV when I am getting this error (meaning - the last call before starting getting Call Not Sent is not necessarily made using GV but rather the standard, mobile dialer).

Some voice dialers do have the option to set as default it might be causing a conflict disable it or uninstall it and see if the issue persists.
So it has been determined that this issue is happening when I try to dial when a BT headset is connected to the phone. It happens with two different BT headsets (different manufacturer and different types), and it may happen in the first call after turning the BT on or in a repeat call, either to the same number or a different number.
No one else with G975F or other S10+ is experiencing this issue?
Anyone? Is no one else having this issue of CALL NOT SENT when re-dialing with a BT headset connected?
Bump
Still looking for solution. I can't my phone is the only one that refuses to dial/redial when a BT is connected. Anyone?
