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?

I'm not exactly sure what or who the culprit is here.
Phone is rooted with JF 1.42,
but 2-3 times a day, my phone would ring once and when I look, it's a missed call from my own number!
Anyone else have this issue?
i myself havent had this problem but a friend of mine has said the same thing. i was like lay off the feel good smoke. but i guess he was for real. does anyone know what could be causing this?
Either you need to stop hanging up on yourself, or someone is spoofing the callerID.

could it be an app? use advanced task manager to view running apps and services running, and use it to close the apps you dont need, see if it continues, im also using rooted jf 1.42 rc33 and ive never had this issue, give us a list of your apps, there is also a program available that gives you a log of what the apps are doing that you cant see, that might help as well if you narrow it down.
if you cant fix it this way maybe downloading bratags call blocker and adding your own number to it would work, its kind of a cheap way to get around it, but if all else fails then...
Call blocking yourself. I laughed at the most rediculious things!

You are absolutely right. I noticed it and I found some of the calandering apps that I downloaded for testing are periodically accessing the phone, I don't know why and I could not figure out which because I had a lot of apps installed for testing. So I decided to uninstall every 3rd party app and see and that did the trick.
--Ram--
I don't perticularly have that many apps installed. I also don't try and uninstall a lot of apps.
These are the apps I have:
Hot Giggity!
Alkaline
Pkt Auctions eBay
Bubble
Astro File Manager
ShopSavvy (with the location thing turned off)
Finance
FastBright
AK notepad
Txtract
Labyrinth Lite
PapiJump
Task Manager
Ringdroid
Video Player
ApkInstaller
I didn't have any missed calls from me yesterday, but i had one already today.
Then the strangest thing happened.
My number is 733-xxxx
After the missed call from me... a second later i got a call from a number that also started with 733.... ... I answered and no one said anything...and then i called back and said I got a missed call from this number and the lady said wrong number.
how does phone number spoofing work?

if im correct its VOIP, but not from your phone, the way SPOOFAPP works is that there service calls you, using VOIP (which can be set to display almost any number) and so your phone rings with the number you wish to have your phone call as, then when you answer and press 1, it then confrence calls another person, also displaying the number that called you, since its the service making the call (your phone never makes a call, you only answer a call and are connected) and then the person on the other end sees the incomming number as what the service says it is, and it stays muted while you talk, making it appear as if your phone number isnt what it is, when really its the service who is calling not you
if someone is using this app, they can NOT call your number from your number, the app wont allow it (ive tried), i can not call 555-0123 as 555-0123, nor can i call as 911 and so on
not to say that other companys out there wont do this, but spoofapp will NOT

well how often do you call yourself from your own phone number? the only time youd do that is to take the long way to your voicemail
therfor the only other time a incoming call would be YOUR number, is when there isnt supposed to be a incoming call
therfor, callblocking yourself, would work imo
such a difficult concept
ok... weird
just had 4 missed calls from a 733-xxxx number and 1 from 733-yyyy number..... and one from myself.
What gives.... calling t-mobile but not sure what they're gonna say or do.
someone must be using an app called spoof123
Oh i know why this happens! You have the Voicemail callback service enabled!
Normally, when someone leaves you a message, all you get is a text message. Now, the voice mail computer calls you, you pick up and it'll tell you how many voice messages you have.
If you don't pick up, you have a missed call from your own number.
its so freaky =..=
Is there a way, other than adding *31# infront of the stored number, to enable caller ID per contact in my 'people' tab?
My number is blocked by default (and I'd like to keep it that way for a variety of reasons) but would like to enable the ID when calling my wife and select other people. The workaround so far has been to add the code above infront of the number but then it seems SMS messages are not going thru which is less than ideal (I could add a separate number entry for messages I guess, but still).
Having looked at the Phone settings it seems I'm able to select "Contacts only" which in my mind (as a dev) means someone has already written a app (or simply extended the current Contact app) to allow for this on a per-contact basis.
Any ideas?
You can try this MagiCall
http://www.mobiion.com/
I was also looking for this.
The MagiCall features don't mention the option to set caller id per contact.
@emigrating: Did you fix it another way?
Anyone else knows a good solution?
+1 same interrest same issue.
But as time goes on you can use the following workaround: or let's say this is the way I manage it......
If you use the traditional SMS Mode and hit reply sms goes through.
This doesn't work as mentioned in Konversation Mode.
It's uncomfortable because the konversation mode is the better client...but the only way you can send sms to someone stored as *31# contact.
It seems as if the konversation mode always refers to the number stored in your contact, whereas the traditional mode refers to the number which comes with the sms.
I hope someone can fix this, or has a better workaround, I'll be interested to!!!

use MagiCall. Set up a rule: for your wife's phone #, prepend *31#, then dial.
I use it for long distance calls. For all phone # not in my home area code, prepend 1511 (chaper long distance call provider), then dial. A small problem with this: need to disable this rule when roaming in another country.
Give it a try, it is good.
I've downloaded the trial version and set up a rule for Outlook categories, just to test. Change the dialed number to #31#{phone}. When I call someone in the particular category, the MagiCall icon appears in the topbar and my device freezes....
No big problem, I restarted my device to try again.
The same thing happens. Again I take out the battery and restart the phone.
At that point the device became terrible slow somehow.
With a little patience I succeeded uninstalling the app.
Restarting again.
Fortunately, my phome is normal speed again.
Sorry, I'm not a big fan of MagiCall at this moment...
----
Edit: Just trying again, because I can't find a real alternative.
The problem seems to occur when I choose Outlook Category as filter.
Just bad luck for me by choosing that option for my first try.
The program seems to respond on other conditions.
It could be my phone only, otherwise maybe I will contact Mobiion about this..
Edit2: The problem was known and was fixed in a newer version.
So it seems to work after all
Here's my scenario,
I'm receiving calls from 3 people that are annoying, I'm not looking for to block these people, but looking an app that can REDIRECT these SELECTED CALLERS to the number of my CHOOSING.
please help me find an app that forwards calls (THAT DOES NOT TAMPER WITH VOICEMAIL)
Thanx in adv.
I hear that phoneAlarm does this from pocketMax.
http://www.pocketmax.net
just tried it, and did find anything regarding call forwarding.
anyone else????
This won't help with your scenario, but might be useful for future reference.
Google Voice offers this functionality by default. You can send those callers to another number, or straight to voice-mail, or block them entirely if you choose.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any WinMo apps that will do that.
Not sure if MagiCall will help you. You can set up custom rules for each number.
Worked great when I was getting annoying calls.
I normally was using Magi call, but have it under hang up and drop. Problem is that it hangs up a second later (they can still hear my background and notice that it the call is being hanged up for the 1 second).
I have tried about 2-3 apps that they are suppose to block the call, instead it send s them to voice mail (I don't want them to have access to my voice mail) or does hang up immediately. Only if there is a TRUE CALL BLOCKER is would consider it.
I now focusing in finding a app that forwards these selected callers to any number of my choosing.
There has to be an app like this, someone hopefully comes through with that answer.

I'm looking for the same thing and PhoneAlarm Pro does support this feature from what I've read. I downloaded the Pro version and installed it. But after restart, it will get stuck on the main screen and nothing else will show. I waited for a while to see if it will load but nothing ever happened and I kept restarting over and over. I finally ended up doing a hard reset. I'm running on the Leo Cell Evo v5 rom tmobile and I don't know if it has something to do with it, but I don't feel like flashing to another rom to see if it works for me so I'll just leave it alone and let someone else figure it out.
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
Hi guys, I've just moved over from iphone so still finding my feet with android.
For the most part android is far superior but the contact side of things is still bugging me. This is what I want to be able to do:
1. Have my call log as calls only, not texts. I know you can change this to view calls received, dialled etc, but it soons defaults back and shows everything. I just want my log to have dialled and received and nothing else? I'm sure i've read somewhere on the net that this was possible on the SGS through a hack??
2. I want to set up a favourites list of say best mate, gf, work etc and just be able to press their name and it dials there number, not opens another window that shows history, text option, dial option video call option, i.e. just direct dial. I also would like this to be the first screen that opens when I press my phone icon on the dock??
I've set my gf up on my desktop as a direct dial shortcut, but I don't want to be doing that for everyone. I've got a load of contacts but maybe only dial 10 at most on a regular basis.
are there any hacks or thrid party dialers that do this??
Cheers
Lee

I can help you with #2. Just swipe right on your favorite and you call that favorite immediately. Swipe left to immediately send a message.

hmmm, can't say i can see a way around No.1, other than using a new dialer/contacts app such as Go Contacts or Dialer One etc..
must say, i actually quite like the comprehensive log, coming from Sense and Stock roms with calls only, i like having it all in one place...
Dialer One would be my choice, but only as i used it on CM7 on my Hero for its smart dial feature... can't comment on Go Contacts
hope this helps
Dickie
I use loads off texts a day so within 10 mins of dialling someone their details are long gone
I'll check out Go Contacts and Dialer One though, thanks for the recommendations
This is a Samsung thing, regular android does not put texts with the call log. I don't think I'd like them to be combined like that.
it is the right thing to do

I like them combined. There again, there could be an option to control it.
Go Contacts is just the ticket
