Hi. I have a Xperia S LT26i with ICS 4.0.4. Everything works ok, but the STK is really annoying. Every time I reject a call or I get a lost call, the STK shows a menu set by my carrier. I assume it's the STK, as the phone was bought unlocked and unbranded, and, also, my phone is configured in english, but the lost-call menu is in spanish(as my carrier). Also, I previously had the same problem with the same SIM on my Xperia Pro MK16a.
Does anyone knows how to disable this? It's really annoying. Thanks in advance.

Posting this to see if anyone else has this, and if any one knows how to make it work.
I use Google Voice for my international calls, but after the upgrade the dialer takes over, Google voice can not be used to "only make international calls"
i have to use "ask for every call" which is not the best solution.
[EDIT] that option does not work either
I'm having the exact same problem.
I even made several international phone calls, thinking that maybe Google Voice was running in the background... now I'll get hit with the charges for international calls from AT&T :s
Any solution to this problem?
I'm using the X10i 2.1 Global firmware on a X10a (AT&T)
hope this helps

Looks like as sony do not use default dialer it is going to be a problem

unfortunately the suggested process does not work
I found a way to make calls by google voice. I went to the browser, went to the google voice website, and from there, I placed the call. Then I received the phone call from my google number, and it connected me to the number I was calling.
It's more troublesome than just using the app, but it is a workaround.
Any other ideas or solutions?

When you do that, aren't you still using the GSM network and your sim card to have the call connected?
I am having identical problems (2.1 Nordic) and trying to use google voice over WiFi to avoid using network minutes but Sony's dialer takes over... hopefully sony or GV will update and fix this real soon... very frustrating

I use Google Voice for international calls... so I'm still using my GSM minutes, but just as a local call, not with international rates.
Have same problem. Cost me one expensive international phone call.
Generic FW, Build 2.0.A.0504 - X10i/ATT USA
GV screen comes up, then native dialer takes over. Have used workaround posted above, but naturally would just like to be able to use it as intended.
Just a heads up to anyone who has updated to 2.1.
I have the Rogers 2.1 and using AT&T as the carrier. GV does not work for ANY of my outgoing phone calls even when I specify to use GV only.
If the issue is SE's dialer, is there a way to revert back to the generic dialer?
Thanks
I'm also having this issue, only after recently upgrading my X10 to the generic 2.1 software. I wonder if anyone has found a solution yet?
I've had this problem since day 1, since I'm from Canada and use my GV to call my american / long distance friends. I have had to use the website workaround since day one, and it really bugs me. When I was working from the iPhone app, it worked properly (call me, then call the number I'm trying to call). Since switching to my X10a, I can't have it just call me, it uses the dialer directly.
So, I use up about 100-200k of my data plan to make the call. Not a big deal, just kind of annoying.
I've had a few different Android phones (mainly HTC and Samsung) but the SE Xperia Mini is my first SE Android phone so I may have missed something obvious in the settings. There's a few things I've not been able to figure out.
1. Turning on the phone requires a swipe to unlock. This is fine but I've enabled the pattern lock protection and now I have to swipe to unlock and then put in the pattern unlock. Seems bizarre. On the Samsung Galaxy S2, the swipe to unlock feature is not required when a pattern lock is setup. Is there something similar on the Xperia Mini?
2. The SE's default unlock screen shows missed calls and unread SMS messages. Missed calls count seem to work fine but the unread SMS message count is annoying. I have installed Handcent as my main SMS app but reading the message in there does not clear the message. I have to then open the native SMS application too. How can I avoid this need?
3. I've currently got mobile data network disabled. Everytime I switch on the phone, I get a notification saying "Data traffic is disabled". I suppose this isn't too much of a biggie as it's only on each reboot (hopefully don't need to reboot much). But is there a way to turn this message off?
TIA
Why you don't install GO Launcher Ex ? I think it will solve your two first issues. Maybe the third one too.

Good morning.
I've got a little problem.
My wife wanted a smartphone so I decided to give her mine and order a 2nd hand one for myself.
She had a normal (FOMA) phone.
I took her quite-old-SIM card and put it into my X10 (flashed/rooted)
I would like to say that the only thing that changed is the SIM card and the microSD card.
I did the factory reset, and set her a new gmail account.
I can get calls out from the X10 with her SIM card, but when I try calling it, from skype or her old phone-with my sim it gets a busy tone.
On the X10 nothing appears on the screen.
Does it means the sim has a problem ? cause its old or something ? Does it relates to the phone's settings?
cause if one can make outgoing calls, it makes no sense that incoming will be a problem.
Our carrier is Docomo (Japan)...
I'll be going to the shop later but I just wanted to check here first.... My technical Japanese isnt that good - obviously and I don't want them to tell me things just cause they dont wanna fix it.
Thanks in advance...
X10
Incoming: no good
Outgoing: ok
SMS: ok
Wifi: ok
old FOMA phone
Incoming: ok
Outgoing: ok
SMS: ok
PS.
Since it worked fine before inserting the other SIM, I doubt it has to do with the ROM but... what do I know?!
Also checked here but its not the same problem as mine, since my other functions are working.

Help on the way
I think it might be the baseband or ril.
FIRST GO TO GOOGLE PLAY ON YOUR PHONE AND DOWNLOAD GETRIL. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK THEN TRY STEP 2.
SECOND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK JUST GO TO THIS LINK RIGHT HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26191697.:)
NOTE: BASEBAND MUST MATCH RIL FOR INCOMING AND OUTCOMING CALLS TO WORK.
ANOTHER THING YOU CAN DO IS DOWNLOAD Sony PC Companion HERE http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/:)
NOTE: Sony PC Companion WILL DELETE EVERYTHING BACKUP.
Hello,
I have the following problem with my Moto X Style.
Out of couriousity I took a look at the screen via *#*#4636#*#* I didn't think it was possible to change anything here but problably it is because since then i'm unable to sent or receive phone calls.
4G data connecion works fine though.
Strange thing is, although I buoght the phone in The Netherlands, I can only select the US radioband in this screen. (As shown in the picture) Is it possible to change this somehow to Dutch again?
Thank you,
Hi,
i've been using this phone for the past month (CN Version, Currently on 21) or so and so far I encountered the following problems:
1. Cannot Change the Default Messaging app.
2. Cannot set google as the default assistant
3. Cannot get VOLTE and Vowifi to work for me (Briefly had Xiaomi and used the code to force it to work).
4. Auto brightness keeps screwing up.
5. Cannot disable the market app
if anyone can help, that would be great.
And alot of missed things:
Missing "Choose date format" option. We are locked on american format, month/day/year.
Missing pocket mode.
Missing DeepTool for Android 11 to unlock bootloader. Speaking with support via mail, the answer is:
"Thank you for writing to us, we would like to inform you that
Bootloader unlock support is not yet available for Android 11, please stay tuned over official community."
Edge lighting is limited to 2 warnings. Need that option to be unlimited, until you see the notification. Like led notification before.
Missing "Vibration pattern" on calls.
Missing option to change sim in dialer if you choose a prefered sim. Prefered, not mandatory. If you want to call somebody with the second sim after you set prefered sim, you need to change that to the second sim to call. Too complicated.
Missing contacts manager option. So, you don't have posibility to import/export contacts, to hide contacts without number, to sort contacts in different ways, to merge contacts with same number, to choose what contacts to display(from phone, from witch google account, from sim, etc).
Missing navigation bar customization. To choose whats is happening if you press home twice, or if you press long on back button etc.
Missing option to return call and same sim you get the call.
For me it's not acceptable to launch a phone without posibility to unlock the phone(bootloader, recovery, root) for power users. Now, for me, realme GT it's a beast in a cage.And tied with chains by realme staff.

Seems far too many issues to be able to love this device.
I don't believe Realme software developers intend to tie anything, it's not logical to hinderi purchasers on purpose.
Realme deveopers are simply inadequate and require more time as many bugs were most probably unknown prior to roll out of the device.
....and by the time this Realme can function perfectly, it'll be time for upgrade due to end of the 3 years security support.
Hey. Bought my phone yesterday on Amazon sold/sent by Amazon (Poco F3 died in water).
I don't know why but my phone was already with developer options unlocked. Is it normal?
Besides that, the phone gives a pretty good feeling except a few bugs of ui here and there (full screen gesture often bring me back stock launcher for example.. Same was for the poco) and that I don't see any custom roms/twrp compared to poco F3.
Also noticed that I can't add French dictionary on top of English (set my phone in English) and on whatsapp I have words with underline when I write in French hum.
edit: returned my phone and sticking with my S10e.
