Help Voicemail/dialpad problem on latest (UK-02) firmware

[Hawklord]

I recall seeing something about this yonks ago here but of course cant find it now i need it.

On the most recent firmware update from 02 in the UK I now find when I call voicemail i cant get the dialpad up to press a number/option (grrrr) - which of course makes it basically a nightmare.

Anyone else seen this/what was the fix when this cropped up some time back on an older firmware?

cheers

You might try keep pressing the menu button till the qwerty shows up and then use the numbers. You're on K4?

I have a feeling this must be a rogue app... I've run the second firmware o2 had and the latest and I've never seen this?

I noticed this last night too...can't make the dialpad respond at all during a call.

Find that thread Hawklord?

Edit: I'm using II4

Cheers,
Chris

The fix that I found is, Settings-Applications-Manage applications-Dialer Storage-Force stop . It usually works for a time depending on what apps you open

yeh informale as i was born the day before yesterday (and not born yesterday) i do know what he search button is for ... however rather like the lottery you need to get the right words(/numbers) to get the prize

many thanks for the solution (force stop) ryko ... i can finally delete 13 saved messages.

mind u its a right pain as the damn thing (in speakerphone mode to avoid sticking my finger in my ear and so i can see the screen ) goes into "double-click to unlock" within a few seconds.

every now and then i get used to living with this phone and like it and then something comes along [last time it was the samsung keyboard and no android keyboard option] and the most basic functionality disappears out of the window with its a**e on fire.

funny thing android/samsung.

[IK4 by the way here]

Just make a Google Custom Search for a couple of Android-related forums.

Mine includes AndroidForums, Modaco and forum.HDBlog.it. And by using the very basic descriptive keywords (dialpad does not work) I was able to find at least one relevant topic - and it's a first search result.

Here's my custom search engine:
http://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=015329919951690311275:exm0snun3b0

And here are the search results:
dialpad does not work - Google Search

My point is - you don't need really to guess words, just describe the problem as simply as possible, just like my example keywords. Don't specify it's voice mail - say only what's essential. Think - would it only not work in voice mail? VOicemail is irrelevant in this case. etc.etc.etc )
