[Q] Digits not displaying in Dialer - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I have made a phone call and brought up they keypad for in call option selection, any numbers I select do not display.
When it was new they did. What has changed and how do i fix this?

I found what is causing this issue:
if you have an app that needs to use accessibility options, (in my case "Notification Manager" used by SSLauncher The Original) like Talkback or others this issue appears, disabling all apps in accessibility removes this problem.
Hope it helps

[Q] How to I get back to this Voicemail Screen?

Attached you will find the images "Screen I want" and "Missed Call Screen", these will be referenced in my question.
See: "Screen I want" attachment.
There are two way I know how to get to this screen and both of them aren't very useful. The first way I know of is to get a voice-mail. If this happens a notification will appear in the tray saying "X Voice-mails" and clicking on said notification will bring me to that screen. Note this only works when the notification is there and thus can not be used to check an old voice-mail or a notification I excused on accident.
The second way is to have a missed call. When I have a missed call selecting THAT notification brings me to the "Missed Call Screen". On this screen I do not have the ability to listen to voice-mail but if I click the Option Dots in the top right corner and hit view contact, then hit the arrow in the top left corner (of the contact screen) to go back I not to the missed calls screen but to the ideal voice-mail screen.
Phone: Samsung Glaxay S5
Interface: Lolipop
Updated: Fully
Launcher: Google Launcher
Voicemail Provider: Googlevoice
Service Provider: ATnT
I will gladly provide any more information if requested. Please help me .
To be clear; I am looking for a way to get to this screen, to check my voice-mail, at any time instead of only when a notification is present. Thank you.
Not sure if there is a way to mark this solved but I solved this:
Contact -> Logs -> Click on person with voice-mail.

Another novel way to do this is to find the icon on your system that looks like an old-time telephone handset. Tap that, and the phone application should load. At the top, there should be an icon labeled Keypad. Click on that. You should get a numeric keypad. Hold down the 1 key, it will dial your voice mail number.

While it is true this will call the voicemail it does not work on my phone. My visual voicemail (seen in the picture) downloads the voicemail from my server so calling the server (via the voicemail button, or holding 1, or dialing myself, ect) always results in it telling me there are zero voicemails. The ONLY way for me to check voicemail is that screen.
........... if your using Google Voice do you have the GV app installed ? .............

This is a known issue with marshmallow roms.
It occurs due to some filter apps such as cf lumen, twilight, and lately this has been happening for me with floatify.
So I would suggest to disable any such apps and try again.

InCallUI Silent Notifications - Black Screen When Receiving Calls [SOLVED]

Hello there,
I came to an extremely annoying problem with the dialer app on my phone (Oneplus 3T - Stock Oxygen OS 4.0.3), and after some dig up I came to a solution that I would like to share, since it was not too obvious to find.
[THE ISSUE]
Wherever I received a phone call I was not presented with the standard screen with buttons to swipe for answer or reject it.
If the phone was locked, the ringtone was heard but the screen was completely black. I had then to press the power button to wake the screen.
With the screen on, a small taskbar at the top of the screen (in color blue or green) was the only notice that a call was incoming at the moment. [See 1st image]
Then I had to touch the bar to finally get the standard dialer screen with the options to answer or reject the call.
This 3 step ritual, was extremely annoying to repeat to each of the 15-20 calls I receive daily.
Besides that, was common for the caller to not wait and hang up before I could make it.
[THE SEARCH FOR A SOLUTION]
Since I had no recent system updates, and I could not backtrack what settings change that I made to gain this black screen issue I started searching.
After some goggling, I found similar threads for black screen calls on forums talk.sony.mobile.com and oneplus.net, then it was possible to narrow that the problem was at InCallUI.apk not working properly.
When I checked the InCallUI app info on "Config > Apps > (menu) Show system > InCallUI" I could note the "Notifications" settings were "Silenced". [See 2nd image]
Bingo! But when I clicked on it there was no option to re-enable it. [See 3rd image]
Continuing the search I did find some solved threads, but the solutions proposed by it did not inspired me confidence.
All I could find was:
- fix the defective proximity sensor that caused the screen to go black;
[If that was my problem the screen would go black AFTER the call was answered and not BEFORE it. And beside that I double checked that my proximity sensor was OK during calls]
- backup, wipe the phone to factory settings and restore backup; [NO WAY!]
- install a new dialer app like Google Dialer; [I like my stock dialer, but why not? Tried but did not solved the black screen call issue]
- root and install an custom InCallUI.apk app; [I was intrigued that no root was necessary to cause the issue, so why it would be to solve it?]
- extract InCallUI.apk from an stock image, root, delete the actual apk and install the extracted clean one; [Not into it, maybe another time.]
[THE SOLUTION - not so obvious for some of us]
The recent Android 7.0 offered new options to customize notifications individually by app, so I focused on reaching the InCallUI.apk notifications settings somehow.
This is how I managed it:
1. Called myself from a second phone;
2. Awaked my screen with the power button;
3. Touched the "touch to return" taskbar (blue or green) to reach the incoming call screen; [1st image]
4. Did not answered and pulled the notification bar down to reach the InCallUI.apk notification item; [4th image]
5. Did not answered and hard pushed the InCallUI white notification item to the left so I could reach the gear icon to customize it; [5th image]
6. FINALLY changed the option from "Show notifications silently" to "Don't Silence" InCallUI and clicked "DONE".
7. Profit! Incoming calls screen back to normal behavior.
As I said this solution may be obvious, but since I struggled to find it this post may be of help to for some of us.
Thanks to XDA Forum community for all nice things it allowed me to I learn since my first HTC T-Mobile G1.
PS: Forgive my english, it's not my first language.
Worked perfectly fine.. hard left swipe to notification is the key..
Thanks

V40 ThinQ disable green pop-up bubble during active phone calls

I've been digging around trying to find an answer, and I think the only one I found was https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/disable-floating-popup-call-t3142001 which essentially says you need root / can't disable it.
When making a phone call (not an incoming call, but during an active call), if you switch to a different app/screen, a green floating pop-up bar appears. You can drag this bar all over the screen, but I really couldn't care less about it. It's not useful to me as the only status it shows is the call duration. If it at least showed my microphone/speaker status, it'd be useful. But I really couldn't care less how long I've been on a call.
Is there any way to disable or otherwise configure this feature? I can't even figure out what it's called.

Go into the default dialer app and select the Dial tab. Click on the 3 dot menu in the upper right and select Call Settings then select Additional Settings. There is an option called "Show voice calls while in an app". Select that and you have the option to change from a pop-up.

That's only for incoming calls. He's talking about the in-call timer floating button. Never have been able to disable it since G2. It sucks and is annoying af.

Yes, this is exactly it. Stinks that there's no way to disable it. It's almost entirely useless.

Questions/toubleshooting

Hi, I recently bought the Honor Play (model COR-L29), which is running EMUI v 9.0.0.156. Having been an iPhone user since it's first release I am struggling to adapt and find the new settings.
1) "Sensitive content" notifications: Notifications don't show any content (just "tap to open") - in settings > Notifications > Lock Screen Notifications I have "Show" selected and in the apps it is also selected. For example, in Messages > Settings > Notifications, they are allowed and "lock screen notifications" are set to "show".
2) Gmail notification numbers: My "App icon badges" are set to "unread messages", and when I have a missed call, new text message etc. a number is shown on the app icon, however with the Gmail app it does not show a number. I have had to use the built-in email app to get this feature working, and as the gmail app cannot be uninstalled I have two apps doing exactly the same function. How can I get the gmail app to show the number?
3) "Volume down" on the lock screen activates the camera. How do I turn this off? I use the SONOS app to control my speakers and lock screen volume control is enabled, but doesn't seem to work unless I wake the screen up, select the notification and then use the volume control. I'd like to be able to just use the volume control if a music app is running.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I spoke with a friend who's running a different android device and undestand it better now:
The text message content will only show if the device is unlocked (so if I raise it and it scans my face) and this is apparently default and unchangable.
I was able to disable the volume button from activating the camera, and believe it's the SONOS app that is at fault for volume control when locked, as apple music works just fine with the volume control.
Not sure about the gmail app, hopefully it's also not app-specific, so if anyone has any insights that'd be great, I'll also check google support s it's mainly just the gmail app trouble I'm having now.
Thanks
