Can't manually call without country code

Post by mass »

Hi,

recently I can't make a manual call anymore without adding the country code prefix +49.
Entering a local number without +49 into the phone dialer, pressing the phone button just returns to the phone tab. What is wrong? I can't find any option about that. This was working since many years. Maybe I have misconfigured something.

I have an older Android 9 device where the local dialing is still possible. I transferred this configuration to the Android 11 but it's still failing there. It must be some restriction of the Android caller app.

I found the related log line:

Code: Select all

10-05 09:20:32.986  2507  4872 W Telecom : NewOutgoingCallIntentBroadcaster: Cannot call potential emergency number 08003000... with CALL Intent Intent { act=android.intent.action.CALL dat=tel:xxxxxxxxxxx flg=0x10000000 cmp=com.android.server.telecom/.components.UserCallActivity (has extras) } unless caller is system or default dialer.: TSI.hCI@D8Y
What can I do? I don't find any option about setting the default phone app in Android 11. And even if Android 11 has it, MIUI 12.5.12 doesn't have it.

From the MIUI forums: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/set ... iui.63433/
Ok, found: settings => Manage apps => Apps (or "Installed apps") => Open "3-dots" menu (top-right) and select "Manage default apps"
I have already set DW Contacts there but it doesn't solve the issue.

Dialing with the +49 country prefix, it works and DW Contacts opens the Phone app and dialing... but on Android 9 I was always able to also enter local phone numbers without the country code.

Hello
It appears from the log that the number is recognized as an emergency phone number. For example 110. This requires special permissions.

So the problem should be identified in the emergency number of the system.
