  1. Where could I get some help with a bug in this update?

    My unlocked 6045 Idol3 took an OTA update last week and all is well with the exception on the stock dialer.
    the numbers 1,2,3 no longer work on the “Call” app…v5.2.12.1.0250.0_0504, deleting the cache had no effect, disabling it make the phone unstable

    As i touch the other numbers on the keypad they all work 4-9, 0.

    The dialpad for unlocking the phone to gain access—the 1-2-3 unaffected

    Have downloaded dialer apps and all the numbers function, but some apps use the default “Call” app, for example, voicemail, GV, both launch the stock “Call app and want me to push #1 and the key won’t work…all I can get ifrom repeated taps, slides, finger drags is the cursor on the phone number screen,

    Can’t find an update to the stock Call app

    If anyone could point me to a solution or where to post….THANKS

  8. Already well into 2017 and there’s still no OTA update for me, and i’m having a bitch of a time trying to find a ROM to upgrade trough storage…

    And that is with my phone being unlocked, but since i’m not in the US I guess I can fuck myself.
