For my part, I call a number from the browser ca 1 out of 100 calls. 99 calls are from the address book, from the messaging app or from the history. That makes this behavior unwanted 99% of the time.
Maybe the dialer app can add a setting that changes this behaviour? E.g. “Allow apps to place calls [all|some|none]”? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dialer-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1486996 Title: [Dialer] [Address Book] “Call” icon does not actually place a call Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in Ubuntu UX: Won't Fix Status in address-book-app package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in dialer-app package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Reproduce: Open address-book-app, choose contact. Press the phone-off-the-hook icon to place a call What happens: The dialer-app opens with a number pre-filled. What I expected would happen: I expected the call to be placed. Rationale: The phone-off-the-hook icon in dialer-app represents placing a call, but not in address-book-app. Why the inconsistency? -------- UX comment ------ This is intended behaviour. Every single time users tap the `call` icon from an other app, the dialer is pre-populated with that number. A 2nd tap is required to finally place the call. This way we avoid e.g. a popup in the browser asking user if they really want to call that number.
