Please, tell me how do i block private numbers in my Huawei p9 Lite

Is the number in your call list?
If it is, if you press and hold it, a menu appears, and one of the options is "Add to blacklist"

This isn't built into the stock ROM. You can, however, download apps from the Play Store to blacklist contacts.
Actually I found out how. Click on the icon photo of someone in the contacts list. That pops up a small box with that persons info. I. The box middle right side is a person logo icon thing. Click that and you get a bigger screen of that contacts info. The. Click the menu hard button and the option to send to voicemail comes up I. A box to check.

For some reason with many contacts; there is a number set as a "Primary". I didn't choose any of these numbers to be "Primary" and they are the first choice whenever I'm making a call or sending a message. How do I change/remove that? How to make a phone number primary?
I'm on 4.4.2 and Sense 5.5. All my contacts are also Google contacts.
Thanks in advance!

Open the ''people'' app, select a contact then tap and hold the number you want as ''primary'', it will open a contextual menu. Select ''set as primary number''.
Hope this help.

There is no such an option to set as primary. I tap and hold the number and I get only the options in the attached screenshot?

Really strange, look at my menu:
Maybe it's because your contact are saved on the sim and not on the phone?

Very strange, we are running the exact same software.
I have zero contact on the SIM, but all my contacts are Google contacts as well -I save all my contacts to my Google account. Maybe that's the reason? If so, do you have any idea how to change the primary number changed then? Are your contacts also being Google contacts?

my contacts are also google contact. Even some contact are linked to facebook/hotmail accounts and still have the possibility to set a primary number.
Maybe you could create a test contact with different parameters and see if you can make it work..

The same idea came to my mind and it did not work at first -I was coming to post the results, but here you are having the same idea. I rebooted the phone and now the "Set As Primary Number" has appeared with all contacts. Very strange!!!!
"Mark As Default" option disapeared from Andrpod 4.3 ?
Hello,
There is more than 2 hours that I am searching for a solution to this problem.
According to my search, it seems that the option menu to set a default phone number in a contact (if we have several numbers in a contact) has disappeared since android 4.3. That's probably why alray and M_Shaaban don't have the same menu, they have a different android version ?
Could someone confirm this info ?
Is there a way to get back this menu to set a primary or default phone number in a contact with a option menu as "Mark As Default" or "set as primary number"
Sorry in advance for my english, I'm french
I'm on KK 4.4.2, Sense 5.5. I have the option to set a number as primary. Make sure you're selecting a number that isn't the primary number. Long press that entry until the menu pops up. "Set as primary number" should be there. If you bring up the menu on the number that is already the primary, the option will not be there.
...without first having to add them in the contacts list. Is it possible?

Just type in the number and call it
If you use the 'phone' app instead of 'people', you can type in a number and press call.
With my sony app that has multiple tabs for contact list, calls, favorites and groups, i can see no button appearing after i dial a number.
Just click on "phone" icon and when this appear just type the number.

Hi
In the "phone" application, if I have an entry in the call log from someone, I simply cannot copy that number to the clipboard. I have to long press and select "Edit number before call" and then copy it from the text box (not from the place it is displayed above). Highly convoluted and non-user friendly.
Is there any reason why I cannot simply long press a phone number in the call log and copy it? Even selecting text does not seem to be possible in Whats App or SMS applications. There is some cursor like thingy that appears and thats about it. I cannot select portions of text to be copied.
Can't believe I am asking this, but how can I copy portion of text, say from an SMS or from a WhatsApp message?
Thanks.
Farhad.

Double tap the text and you should get two handles and the select/copy/cut action bar up top.
It took me a while to get this, apparently on Sony phones you have to double tab to get to cut/copy/paste, it's easy enough once you get that though.
Sony Phone app: no copy, no send contact, no vibrate when connected.
Sony Messaging app: no font size changable, no hide message content option, can't not send (unamed) number from call log.
In term of UI functions, Sony need to do much more. I feel they still not focus enough on software
Don't tell us, tell Sony, they're the only ones who can do anything about it.
Hello,
I have another copy / Paste question. In the calendar I cannot copy the location entry. Anytime I tab it, I am asked to open google maps. Any Idea how to copy location text?
Thanks!

Not sure what do you mean "no vibration when connected, but to copy: long press on the number and to send: that's in the menu.
