Pause and wait doesn't work on my Android 2.1 powered phone (Huawei Ascend)

I'm having the same problem. Comma works for a 2-second delay on most systems, but not with Android on Huawei Ascend, where the comma just stops the dialing process permanently. Using ; didn't help, due to lack of a way to tell the phone to go ahead with the rest of the dialing.

Does anyone have a workaround until this gets fixed -- short of manually typing in whatever codes needed to wait for the pause?

 

Hi, I'm having the same problem, I updated the software to CM6 (Android 2.2.1) and the problem continue.
I post in the Huawei forum and they said that they will look at it, BS, no one looked at it.
Does any one found a solution to this?

 

It is now May 5th 2011 so 6 months after OP complained about the pause/wait deal with his Ascend it still has not been fixed. This really drives me. We should not lose functionality in our phones as the technological advances enable them to do more and more.

I have the same problem as OP and cannot find any solution. I also find that this problem is not limited to Ascend, it is a Android OS problem no matter what the manufacture of the phone. I am preparing to root my ascend soon but I have not read anywhere that says that will help fix the pause/wait problem. There must be millions of people who have this problem and still no fix? Is there something I dont know? Any help on this matter would be highly appreciated.

 

i call hauwei at phone# 888-548-2934 and i told them about the pause and wait not working they told me that because it is a 2.1 it will not work and that they would request a fix for it. i was thinking that if everyone calls and complains about this problem they will find a solution to this problem sooner than later.

 

I have a Samsung Galaxy II Epic on Sprint. I've had the same problem the others are reporting here.

Here's how I cleared it...I suspect this fix will work for others:
