I've got a 4G/LTE Note 8.0 N2150. Since getting this I resolved getting a one year unlimited Skype Out call subscription unlimited for my country. This is sold by Microsoft/Skype as a replacement for your phone, except for emergency calls, quote "Make internet calls for free and cheap online calls to phones and mobiles with Skype. Sign up today and discover a whole new world of staying in touch."
What Microsoft won't tell you is the dial pad doesn't work to make selections for extentions on switchboards under Android. This means all your calls to companies, institutions, government etc are defunct and requires paying extra for by using your usual cell phone SIM. Unless they have manned switchboards.
There's no information on this at all when signing up. Since the dial pad works for dialling a phone number, and the marketing is "make cheap online calls to phones" you only have two weeks to discover this and cancel your subscription.
In a one hour "support" call, where they do not up front ask for OS, device, version of Skype, etc, suggesting immature support, I was finally told that "oh, the dial pad doesn't work in Android. Never has." In the call it was blamed on Skype just recently having been acquired by Microsoft. Er, that was three years ago.
Some further investigation shows that this problem went unattended on Windows7 for a whole year 2011-2012, although Microsoft Skype now claims it's been addressed both for Windows and on Macs.
No official plans exist to address this, nor are there any replies by Skype on the forum.
So, Skype is ripe for picking unless Julie Larson-Green takes action.

Hello,
Since this morning, (a usual one - no updates, no actions other then the daily communications) my g955n behaves strangely in that that all ongoing calls are interrupted by incoming calls. My phone is stock with latest firmware (upgrade on Dec. 26th to AQL3 - this is latest for g955n). There is no choice of ”call waiting” in more settings for the phone app so I cannot try that option. Any idea how to fix this annoying situation ?
Thank you.
Never heard of the issue. Good luck in finding a solution.
Thanks. Will inform if there is a solution.
Just found a ”temporary” workaround in that that at least ongoing calls are not interrupted - disabling call waiting (which seems to be default on this variant of S8+) with code #43# and SEND. Still, I would very much like to find a solution to a working call waiting.
Any update to this issue? Having the same problem - Samsung J5. I do not understand the temporary solution. What does "disabling call waiting with code #43# and SEND" mean?
My wife and I both have a Note 8. Frequently on calls the other party will not be able to hear us. It is not a microphone issue as this happens both on bluetooth devices, as well as without. So regular call, speakerphone, or bluetooth device, the other person on the call intermittently cannot hear. It is beyond annoying. Any ideas on what the cause is, or a potential fix?

Hello,
I'm looking for feedback and tips.
We define spam calls, as any calls from phone numbers that meet these 2 criteria:
Not on your contacts list
Did not leave you a cash deposit
If an unknown callers leave you a deposit before calling you, your phone rings. If you answer the call and the call time lasts more than 25 seconds, the caller receives a full and immediate refund. This is a "good call".
However, if you answer and hang up before 25 seconds, you keep 80% of the deposit while our app keeps 20%. Callers only lose money when you answer and hang up before 25 seconds.
This way, only callers who are willing to risk $0.05 to speak with you are allowed to call you and good callers get that $0.05 back. This is our unique approach to solving the spam problem.
For Play store, please search: "RoboCash spam" and search for the black circle with the green R.
For our website: please visit our site at "myrobocash dot com".
Currently, only US, Canada, Philippines, Brazil and UK can sign up. If you're interested in using this and not from any of these countries, please let me know so I can try opening up the app to work for you. Thank you.
Finally got a workaround to READ_CALL_LOG by implementing CallScreeningService and RoleManager to read the phone number.
Since RoleManager was introduced in Android 10, it will work for all Android versions 10+. Sadly, I will not be able to service Android 9 users.... Thankfully Android 7-8.1 are still able to use this.
