After I upgraded my ROM to DCD's latest, whenever I try dialing from contacts or speed dial, I get this error message:
"Press END key to stop intercept tone" and it never dials.
Anyone got any ideas?
which carrier?
never seen or heard of that, did you install the right rom for your carrier?
The carrier is Verizon and I chose Verizon from the kitchen when I created the ROM. I have made ROM's before on my 6700.
if I dial the number manually, it works fine. It's only when I dial from contacts or speed dial.
Strange.
Confirmed
I'm running the NexVision Hybrid ROM (based on DCD's ROM) on my XV6800, and I can reproduce this issue at will. I've narrowed it down (at least in my case) to the international dialing prefix being used. That is, if a contact's number is stored as (e.g.) "+1 212 555 1212", the dialer chokes on the "+1" - I hear a short beep, and then (usually) see the "Press END key to stop intercept tone" message.
If I edit the contact's phone number to remove the "+1" (or just the "+", leaving the 1), it dials just fine. Basically, it seems to always come down to the "+"...
The problem (for me, at least), is that I have a "+" prefix for most of my (many) contacts. Plus, most of the numbers in my employer's Company Directory (which I can search and dial from my device) have this prefix. I've had a few people ask me what the "+" prefix is all about, thinking the mistake is on my side for using some alien format for the country code prefix. Just to head that off, I'll point out that this format comes from the ITU-T Recommendation E.123, "Notation for national and international telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and Web addresses". So there. Plus, it's worked on every other phone I've ever used, including this one - at least I did, until I upgraded the ROM. ]
BetaMan, does this apply to your case at all? Either way, does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,

I have run into a problem which I believe started after I ran the titan_1.40_radio into my XV6800.
MS Outlook places the country code before all the contacts phone numbers and the country code for the US is +1 so at this point all the phone numbers in my contacts have +1 in front of the area code.
I had been synching my contacts between Outlook and my phone before installing this version of the radio and this was not a problem previously. I tried restoring the official VZW ROM today and that did not help, when dialing off the contact list I either get 3 beeps or a recorded message that the call cannot go through. If I dial myself, without a +1, the call goes through just fine. The reason I think it is the radio is because this is the only change I can isolate back to the start of the problem.
This brings me to my question, does anyone know where I can pull the original version of the VZW radio?
Has anyone else noticed this issue?

From the Mogul user manual:
3.10 Customizing Plus Code Dialing
You can customize how phone numbers that begin with a plus “+” sign will be dialed.
1. Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab >Phone > Services tab, or tap Menu > Options on the Phone screen and then tap the Services tab.
2. Select Plus Code Dialing, and then tap Get Settings.
3. To place local and international calls from the United States, select Enable under North American dialing.
When you place calls, the “+” sign at the beginning of phone numbers that you dial will be replaced as follows:
When you enter a long distance phone number that starts with “+1”, the “+” will be removed and the rest of the number will be dialed. For example, if you entered +1 416 123 4567, the number to be dialed will be 14161234567.
When you enter an international phone number that starts with a “+” followed by a digit other than 1, the “+” will be replaced with the United States international dialing code, which is already set by default. For example, if you entered +58 212 123 4567, the number to be dialed will be 011582121234567.
Tip:
If you modified the international dialing code, you can tap Reset to change it back to the default.

Thanks for the feedback and this is begining to identify the source of the problem and helped resolve it.
I went to Start > Settings > Personal tab >Phone > Services tab and there is no Select Plus Code Dialing option.
Are the services listed here part of the radio? I would not think they are but without flashing back to the stock VZW ROM I can not be sure.
I searched my registry for plus and found a few entries that appear to be related to this in:
HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\PlusCodeDialing
I have only the following three (along with (default) of course), they are:
PlusCodeEnable = 0
PlusCodeNumber = +
ResetNumber = +
Would you be willing to check your settings for these and post them here along with the the setting defined in your Start > Settings > Personal tab >Phone > Services tab > Select Plus Code Dialing settings?
I am curious if there are perhaps registry entries I am missing at this point.
I have changed the PlusCodeEnable from 0 to 1 and this has taken care of my problem for now. I will keep my eye on it as I build other ROMs and try to identify where it comes in from and how it comes in with the stock VZW ROM. I will most likely add it to the list of additional registry entries I include in ROMs as well.
I am still curious about how this is working for others out there cooking ROMS with DCD's kitchen.
Thanks,

I am running Energy ROM on my HTC Imagio. I store all my contact numbers using the plus code since I have numbers of people residing in different countries and have the same issue.
I have made the above changes and am able to dial numbers starting with the plus code, from the U.S. What do I have to change to dial when I am in, say, India? India's country code is 91 and the calling rules are a little more complicated than in the U.S. When calling international numbers, the + has to be replaced by 00. When calling long distance in India, the +91 has to be replaced with 0. I assume the rules must be different for other countries in Asia and Europe as well.
I was able to access an "Assisted Dialing" menu in the phone menu on the stock ROM but this menu does not exist in the modified ROM. Is it possible to add the Assisted Dialing option to modified ROMs? If so, that might be all I need. I would like to make sure I can dial using my contact list before traveling outside the U.S.
Thanks!
Can anyone tell me the registry setting to get plus code dialing to work for text messages too? I have edited my registry as mentioned here and it works fine for making phone calls. However, if I send a text to a country outside the U.S. using the plus coded phone number, it does not go out. If I replace + with 011, it works. I am able to send text messages to a plus coded number in the U.S. though.
Hope someone can help. It is a pain having to enter the whole number starting with 011-countrycode manually instead of using the plus coded number from the contact list. Thanks!
Quite a while ago, I flashed to DCD 3.2.6. After that, I noticed that I couldn't dial phone numbers from my contacts, but I could dial them directly. When I would dial using the contact, it would look like the call was going through, then I would get three error chimes and a message saying the call was disconnected.
Finally, I figured out that the difference is that in my contacts, the phone numbers all have "+1" before the number, i.e. "+1(206) 555-1212". This is the international prefix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_international_call_prefixes#Syntax).
I assumed that this was a problem with DCD 3.2.6. However, I just flashed DCD 4.1.2, and the same issue is there. I suppose I could go through all 223 of my contacts and edit the phone numbers to get rid of the plus sign. However, this is the correct format for a number, and non-custom ROMs have worked fine with it.
Anyone got an idea of how to get the dialer with DCD 4.1.2 to work with these phone numbers? I'm guessing I just need to change some configuration relating to my International Prefix (U.S.) Alternatively, does anyone know of a ROM that does work with these phone numbers and also keeps the GPS and tethering (via Internet Sharing) working on my Verizon XV6800?
Thanks,
Jamie
Got it
Okay, I found it.
In the dialer application, go to "Menu", "Options...", "Services" tab, scroll down to "Plus Code Dialing". The rest is self-explanatory.
Hopefully, this will save someone else some time.

Does anyone know if there's a way to do automatic prepend on the GSM Hero? I'm in Canada with the Telus Hero. My issue is that if I dial a 10-digit number (aka 905-555-1234,) the call goes through. However, dialing 1-905-555-1234 will give me a busy signal. Putting a "+" in front makes it work, ie. +1-905-555-1234. This wouldn't be an issue, except that when calls come in, the history shows it in the 1-905-555-1234 format, so if I try and click the call history to call someone back, it doesn't work. I'd like to automatically add the "+" sign to the beginning of any number dialed. Anyone?
Also, I've got Telus looking into the matter, but since I've got a custom ROM on there (Modoco) I'm thinking it could be the phone, since these ROMs are primarily customized and tested on European numbers.
Bump, I'd like to know how to automaticly prepend 1 in front of all the #'s, for long distance calls.
Thanks
Has anyone noticed that when you put a pound key (#, aka number symbol, octothorpe etc) in a contact's number, it doesn't work? I.e. the # dtmf tone is not sent when you call the number, while other tones are sent properly.
For example, I set my voicemail number to *86,,5555# (the 5555 part is just for illustration, and should be filled in with the voicemail pin)
Whenever my phone calls voicemail, it says "Sending Tones 5555" but it doesn't mention the #, and I can tell that the # tone is not sent, because the voicemail system waits a few seconds after the password is sent, which is exactly what it does when I dial it manually and neglect to press #. When I do press pound manually, the system continues immediately without a pause.
Has anyone else experienced this? Or has anyone else been able to sucessfully send the # key?
hi, i haven't had this happen personally, but would puting space between the password and the # give the sytem time to receive it.? don't know if it will but i never had this happen either.hope this helps. hp
I don't think you can add spaces, but I added a comma (which indicates a pause) after the pin. That didn't help. Thanks for the suggestion though.
##7764726(spc=000000) and *#*#4636#*#* are hidden menus so the # may be handled special.
I actually noticed this today when I was trying to get through a damn automated menu. It kept asking me to hit the # key after things but kept telling me "Invalid Entry". I literally used every other button, to include * during the call and everything else worked. This is no bueno!
What version of Android and what Rom(if any) are you running? I am on 2.3.4 w/Eclipse v1.1
Thanks, AtLemacks, It's nice to know someone else has experienced the same thing (misery loves company I guess).
I'm using the same android version and ROM that you are. But I'm pretty sure I had the problem even back when I was using using P3Droid's Rooted Gingerbread without any ROM. I don't remember if I tried it when I was on stock Froyo.
I didn't have this problem before, I call/go through that menu fairly often.
did anyone figure it out?
I am suffering the same problem. Did anyone ever figure out how to send pound sign #?
Try a alternate dialer like Dialer One or the like.
Edit try voicemail *86, the # key skips to the next msg on my Milestone x2 port.
Found a solution
Found a solution, not sure if everyone can use it. I am using Motorola Photon with Sprint. My solution is to create a contact like this for google voice dial out
15125553010,,2,3235551110,#,,,1234,0118521234567,#
and it works for me. I can now use a direct dial icon on my home screen to call. The trick is the first pound sign. It needs comma before the pound sign and the three comma behind it.
Anybody else find a work around?
I am glad to hear that I am not alone, but a little dismayed to not see any answers to my days of searching for a solution. Has anyone else come up with an alternative work around? The direct dial method above didn't work for me.

Thanks!
Since around the beginning of March I noticed that my phone is showing completely random numbers for all outgoing calls for people that I have in my contacts list. The numbers that it shows are not numbers that I have dialed or received calls from in the past. (If I long-press one of the dialed numbers, the "Call +***-***-****" line displays the correct number), so it seems to be more of an appearance issue. The numbers displayed seem to be consistent for the person I call. I do not remember making any changes around the time this started, but I did notice it about 1 week after it started, so I don't remember exactly.
The correct person is displayed, just a completely random number. When I called Verizon they had never heard of this issue, and the numbers it is displaying are not Verizon numbers. The area codes for the numbers are for completely different parts of the country.
The only dialing related program I have installed is Google Voice, but I am not making these calls using it.
Complete factory reset fixes it, but I don't want that so I did a nandroid restore afterwards. Clearing the recent calls list does not fix the issue.
See attachment for image of what it is doing. I would have linked it but apparently I need 8 more posts to do so.
