Bug Description

Brief summary:
Costumer service numbers, like "*144#" doesn't work.

Steps to reproduce:
Call to a costumer service number like "*144#". It ends with "#".

What happens:
The phone apps calls to "*144".

What is expected:
We have two types of that services.
One ask for interaction and other none.
In normal phones it shows a on screen popup for show the information. If it allows interaction, in the end of popup theres a textbox for place the response.

Idea:
Maybe we can send a normal text to messages notification and doesn't store it on messages list (conversations list).
And them, if it allows interaction, make possible to send a response as a normal message. If it not ask for interaction, just shows a "close" button instead a textbox.

@awe
Is there a special mode in ofono that is needed to dial these types of numbers?

This is a USSD string, which has not been implemented yet.

i can confirm this bugs too. Any estimation on this bugs ? is it possible to fix this bugs before release ?

For my country (Malaysia),
i think this features is critical because customer would like to check their credit balance, get support on phone configuration and also subscribe internet/data package.

Hi Khairul,

Theres already some work in progress for that bug.
As the importance is High, sure that the developers are dealing with this with particular attention.

To increase the fix speed, as it is critical for your country, you could branch the dialer-app and ofono for send patchs or even send mockups for the dialer-app, as the fix expectation suggests.

As the core apps is community driven, all colaboration will be useful for the core devs.

Cheers.

  * unit: fix fail-to-build on powerpc
    The previously released version enabled -Wall,
    which triggered build failures due to unused
    functions on powerpc. This is due to the fact
    that the unit tests only run on LITTLE_ENDIAN
    systems via an ifdef, which leaves unused functions
    and data. This change exends the ifdef to cover
    the unused functions and test data.
