[Q] Galaxy S3 Mini Saying "Call From" During incoming Call - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello World,
One of my Friend brought me an issue with his Galaxy S3 mini. His Phone says or talk the Caller Name "Call from" during incoming calls. I tried to turn off "Driving Mode", "Talk back" and also check some settings on Text to speak options but nothing works. There is no such third part app installed in his phone to generate "Call from" Sound. This is really annoying and If any of you genius guys can help?.
Thanks in Advance.

I uninstalled some applications, the issues was caused by either "Contact+" or "Robin". if you have one of these applications or similar, uninstall them.

I don't usually use viber before that's why I just found it out recently..

Go to settings>apps>All and try to delete application data. If there are updates available, update the app. See if that works?

Calling via Touchless Control

I've experienced a couple of problems recently and I'm not sure if it's a bug or something they changed with the last update. I'm on 4.4.2 with Sprint.
Previously, when I tried to call a business (i.e. "Call Pizza Hut"), it would find it via Google Now and make the call. Recently, I've noticed that if the business is not listed in my contacts, it will try to call one of my contacts.
Also, if there's a contact with more than one phone number, it used to give you a prompt to confirm whichever number you're trying to call. Now, it just calls the default number.
Has anyone else noticed this and do you know of a fix?

Unfortunately, I have the same exact issue on Republic Wireless (Sprint MVNO) 4.4.2 and haven't found a solution....
Strangely, the issue seems to come and go. Additionally, the voice recognition is WAYYY off....it will try to call a contact that doesn't even sound like who I'm trying to call.
My solution is to instead, turn the screen on, then hit the microphone icon (top right corner). From there if you say "Call Pizza Hut", it seems to work 100% of the time.
I agree that the issue is quite irritating. Hopefully a future update to Touchless Controls fixes this.
It will be interesting to see if those on later android versions also experience the same issue...
Are you also experiencing the 2nd problem?
Voice recognition doesn't seem to be an issue for me.

Nope, just confirmed -- tried to call a contact with 2 numbers in phonebook (cell & home) and the phone responded:
"I found two matches. Say the name after you hear the one you want to call. 'Person' home. 'Person' cell."

Yea, that's what mine used to do. Now it just calls the top number.

Can't call or receive and no sound

It's on stock rom and suddenly i couldn't make a call and apparently cannot receive either. If i try to make a call it goes back to dialer after 1s and if someone tries to call me it says the phone is closed.
Tried reseting it from the settings menu and from the fastboot menu and it's the same. The funny thing is, it can receive and send sms and mobile data works (even 4g). Another funny thing is there's no sound, i can't even play ringtones from settings, it says can't play the file and Youtube videos show an error message. Soundcloud website keeps jumping from a track to another without even starting one of them...
Did someone have this kind of issues with their One Mini 2?
Thanks.

yes you did sorry going blind.
At first i would say the calls issue would be a problem with your provider but since you have sound issues too,
my best advice would be send it off to HTC center for repair. when its hardware problems, they don't usually charge for it even when off warranty.
note you can run HTC diagnostic in your phone.
dial *#*#3424#*#* and you will enter in HTC Diagnostic menu 3424 means (DIAG)

Verizon note 8 on AT&T Calling error!

Hey everyone,
I have a bit of a weird issue here. I have a note 8 from Verizon which everyone knows comes unlocked. I am using it on AT&T and everything works well except for one thing. For some reason when I receive phone calls from people, it shows on the screen with a + sign in front of the phone number. So if someone calls me that is in my contact book, it will not show their name since there is no + sign in my contact book. So also now in my call history if I try to call that number back it sounds like it is trying to make an international call. I have no idea what is happening. Data, texts and calls work but instead of getting a call from 9999999999 I get +9999999999.
Please help me out here, I love the phone!!

I've read about this issue before. Googling 'incoming calls show +' gives you some leads.
In short it seems to be related to Dialling Assistance settings (note spell error, is as in settings...). I couldn't find those via the regular settings (used to be accessible via settings in Phone app), but I could via the app 'Shortcut Master (Light)' ...
Search for 'dialing' and then launch:
'com.android.phone.operator.usa.AssistedDialingActivity'. My settings (N950U1) are as per SS...
Try playing with these settings.

Google Assistant won't make calls on Galaxy A71

Hello everyone,
I sold my old iPhone 7 Plus to buy a brand new Galaxy A71 and I'm still getting used to it. On the Apple device I could make calls using Siri but here, I use the "Ok Google" feature and then "Call ---" and it opens the phone application, it dials the number but it won't make the call. I suspect I have something not configured (or misconfigured).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advice and sorry for the bad English.
Can you make a call normally by dialing? If OK Google gets that far will the call go through by hitting the phone icon? If you are looking for a hands free call mode you might try this app: Drivemode: Handsfree Messages And Call For Driving
Hello fellow Nokia 7 Plus owner
I tried what you described and it seems to be working on my end.
Have you checked permissions on Google app ?
What it should be needed is Call Logs and Telephone permission.

Oh, I misread iPhone 7 for Nokia 7. Ignore that ^^
I found the problem, here in Argentina, the number "112" (I don't know in other countries) is an emergency number, and for some reason, OK Google won't call any number starting with "112", If I save the contact as "+549112..." it would call.
