nothing happens when holding # for longer time or tripple pressing it
ACTUAL RESULT:
there must be a way to enter DTMF wait code.

Patchmanager: VolumeKeys
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Actually, this is something old I asked in 2018
and itās a basic phone functionality. Tbh itās even more basic than SMS support.
Pause is there, a little bit cumbersome to type especially on 10 because of itās touch nuances but itās there. Wait is still missing.
I think you confused actual with expected result.
Googling for DTMF wait comes up surprisingly short, and several hits mentions just doing a longer pauseā¦ It also does not really seem these are codes/tones in DTMF you enter, but features in the respective implementations. I.e. it is not really default functionality left on the table as you seem to imply. (Making this even more clearly a feature-request)
I never read that a āpauseā DTMF tone exists in all my life. There is 0-9, *, # and, on some DTMF tone transmitters, A-D. Pause is a feature of the DTMF transmitter, e.g. the telephone, dialing automat or analog modem. There was a āpauseā command in the AT codes of ancient analog telephone modems.
Itās a good idea to implement a āpauseā command into the addressbook phone number entry. Iām testing just now and find here: Numbers 0-9, a + where the * should be, #, and *p that generates a simple * in the number field, further on, backspace and enter. Thats all. Long pressing any button does nothing.
Is the +/* mess worth a bug report or does this have a higher sense?
Iām using pause commands for a while now.
ā long press ā*ā on your dialpad
I suggest doing it twice in a row (single pause is ~3sek. and often to short).
In the dialpad itās displayed as ā,ā.
In your dialhistory then itās āpā.
Longpress * - edit: in the phonebook app - does nothing, but doubletap * really generates p when entering a number into phonebook. On tapping *p , the appearing * is underlined for 2 seconds. On tapping *p again while it is underlined, it changes to p.
On dialling in the phone app, itās exactly as you wrote. Long pressing * generates a , (comma) and this will surely be a pause but I didnāt check nowā¦
@Seven.of.nine@tobset@attah no no no, there are two types of this and I know cause I was using it and sometimes still does.
One is just pause which is waiting 3 seconds. Second is wait for user interaction. So example:
222222w32p2p2131p23123
this means that: call 222222 wait for user action (some auto dial systems wonāt allow you to instantly enter internal number so you need to wait till the hello ends), confirm the invitation is done, then call 32, wait 3 seconds, enter 2131 wait 3 seconds, enter 23123.
This is how it should work.
So please donāt tell me such thing doesnāt exists, here on other phones: iOSAndroid
