You should very much treat this as a bug with HTC's device and push to have that fixed. One thing you could do is file a bug in the bug tracker with sample code showing the problem. Even better would be to contribute a patch to CTS that ensures the API is working correctly, so this won't break in the future. > 2) In particular HTC Desire with Android 2.2 won't allow you to change > the number being dialed. > (see thread: > > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/1e23230cfaae5038/3fd980598e78c479?lnk=gst&q=desire+2.2 > ) > I do admit that in this case I'm not completely sure it's a Sense UI > problem (I've seen it happen on Motorola devices but it was an easy > fix, removing the priority setting from the Intent).

If so, again it's a public API that if broken makes the device not CTS compatible. I am surprised about this one since Google Voice relies on it so it seems like I would have already heard about any significant issue in this area. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
