Having a bad day today. Recently got word a family member passed. I need to call some people, text (not call) others, and review my call, SMS, and caller ID history for last contact info.
The problem is I have Lineage OS 14.1 (Nougat) on my LG G5 and it keeps automatically dialing numbers when I just click on someone's name, or contact info, etc. when I don't want it to!!! With family issues it's making things very uncomfortable, even when I hang up the call right away. In the past app behavior used to have common sense labels like "call number". Now, depending on the app or screen, clicking on a photo or name can sometimes open more info like history, or the horror of quickly calling a number I do not want to call, and it's made today very very uncomfortable.
I need an app, or hack, to only load the phone number into my dialer and never autodial until I manually press the CALL button in the dialer. This includes contacts, SMS app, caller ID app, everything. Yes it's an extra step but I really need this. Thank you.
EDIT: I think the feature is called Direct Call, & I want to disable it.

Someone keeps annoying me...with their repeated calls...
I wonder if there's any call management software (?) that can block certain numbers - forward those call to voice mail or turn my phone into -"unavailable" status as if the phone were off!
Please help!!!
Thanks

Try MagicCall. It blocks known numbers, beside of a lot of other stuff.
But its not free
!
You could try CallFirewall http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307178 which I've used quite a lot on my Athena to block withheld numbers when its cooked into ROMs. Hoping it works for my new Topaz!
Call Firewall works in Diamond2. Unfortunately, the phone still rings once before it stops unwanted call. There is no option such as pick up and hang up. The startup screen may not hiden in some senario, until I tap minimize in the menu. I return back to Call SMS Blocker even it is not quite finger friendliness and not easy to view the call log in TF3D.
Question how it works
Plz tell how these apps work:
The calling side hears like my phone is not available or he hears couple of rings and then like i hang up on purpose?
Check it out here
Try Photo Contacts Pro 5.11 but again, it's not free.
Okay, we have times when we want to hide our caller's ID, we don't want our number to be noticed by the call receiving party! Yet it is so much to go through, first hitting the phone button, clicking the options, selecting caller ID, hitting the get settings, and now select provide my caller ID to "NO ONE". Took me like forever, and now I have to select the person's number from the phone book, if I still remember who I was trying to call! LOL
So I know there got to be a way!, Create a Caller ID's toggle, hit it to show or hide caller ID, simply and then select the number you want to dial and you can hide your caller ID.
Anything like that? I know I used to have the simmon's phone back in the days, when I needed to hide a caller's ID, I would just hold the 8 key and it would hide the caller's ID. Now the toggle was assigned to the 8# key, but I think if that is too much to do, why not just have a toggle, just as we have it for the bluetooth or other phone's options.
Is it possible?
um whats wrong with just dialing #67xxxxxxxxxx??
I tried Incoming Call Plus Beta, and it was horrible, it would mix my contacts up when I was receiving calls. Is there another Incoming call app available? Because I am looking for something sort of like the iPhone when answering phone calls, instead of sliding left or right to answer the phone, because for some reason I sometimes do not answer the phone call because I do not slide/unlock the phone fast enough to answer, I want to be able to just hit answer, or end call/ignore, one button, any suggestions?

Try using Fullscreen Caller ID, it displays a full screen picture along with 'Answer' and 'Cancel' to replace the Sliding OPtioin of Samsung Vibrant
Not happy
Anything else ?
What you mention doesn't have the level of polish I am looking for.
Incoming call plus beta, available from the market.

Hi,
I've just got a watch 2 sport and when I've dialed someone off the watch and they are engaged I cannot see how to end call as icons disappear, I then have to get phone out my pocket , same when I'm on a call and want to end it off watch without getting phone out, unlocking it, then ending call, how do you?
Thanks.
Would like to solve the same problem.
u can set in option to ends call by pressing power button
I've tried wear dialer and that does what I want, ie there is an answer and a end call icon on the watch itself, it's not perfect because once in a call you can't see anything on the watch bar the dialer, if you want to see the time by pressing the home button it ends the call.
not sure if i understand good (my english is not very well )
if u have a call and wanna see for example time, just swipe dialer like u would close any app, call will remain and you will be able to see what u want and at the end of call press power button

Not my situation.
I cant see the call informations on my watch.
Once I pick up the call, call UI on the watch dissapear.
Kind silly if you are driving car and speaking to your bluetooth and you are not able to end call without picking phone out of your pocket.

That's what I can't understand, I call a number from my watch through my Bluetooth, the call ui disappears, the number is say engaged, I then have to go back to my phone to end call as the watch won't do it, the only way the watch will do it is by taking the call solely through the watch itself, the call ui then stays.
Not the best but I've stuck with wear dialer even though once on a call the watch only shows the call ui, if you want to know the time while on the call, you can't.
When I'm screening a call and the caller hangs up, I only have a split second to hit the red button to report it as spam. Does anyone know how to extend the length of time for that button to stay on the screen? I'm assuming that when you hit that button it reports it to Google to gather data, but will log-pressing on a caller in the history and selecting Block/report spam provide the exact same results?
It doesn't happen every time but a few calls have triggered a notification that has a block and report as SPAM button for me. Not sure what causes that to trigger but it isn't happening consistently.
I've used the call screen a few times but the intro text is too long and the calls nearly always end immediately after the bot is finished talking. Neat feature but I think it would actually be more useful for answering calls when you can't talk like in a meeting at work or on a loud bus/train or something.

I usually only use it when the caller ID shows up as "spam likely" and every time, they hang up before the bot finishes. It brings me joy, but I haven't needed to mark as spam because of it.
I did try it a couple times with real callers (a doctor's office and a customer service person), and they both started to identify themselves, allowing me to connect to the call before they hung up. It's GREAT!
Pressing the button only sends a message to the caller to remove you from their list. I'd definitely report/block after the call
