Conference Call Parsing and Dialing from a meeting notice

[Irishgator]

On my Nexus 4, I have the capability of clicking on a phone number in a meeting notice. It is smart enough to recognize that the meeting notice has a conference call and asks me for the conference call information. However, once I choose it, the phone dials the conference call number, but does not seem to use the extra knowledge in any way. Am I missing something here? How do I make it send the conference call information after connecting the phone call? Does this actually work in the stock dialer? If not, is there another option.

I should note that the email that I am using is not from GMAIL, from from Good for Enterprise (for work).

I would appreciate any insight you guys might be able to offer on how to make this work.

Thanks.

No insight on how to make this work but hoping that someone will chime in. Before the Nexus 4 I had a Droid RAZR. For me, the dial in and code information are in the Location field in the calendar appointment. On the RAZR, when I touched the phone number to dial, as long as there was a comma in between the phone number and code, the RAZR would show a pop-up box to press "OK" when prompted and the phone would automatically input the conference call access code. My experience is the same as yours, the Nexus 4 doesn't give me the pop up box and I have to enter the code manually.

Actually, it does give me a pop up box with all of the options for a code. However, when I choose the code and then dial, it does nothing with the code, so it just asks for the code and I am stuck.

Note, I am clicking inside the text of the meeting notice and hitting the phone number. The conference code is also being extracted from the text of the note.

Of course, it has been made quite clear to me that this works great on an iPhone!

Additional observation... My battery life is terrible today. When I look at what is using the battery, my biggest hitter is the phone. I have barely even used the phone today...I wonder if this is doing something in the background from when I tested the conference call this morning.

I think you need to use one of the conference call dialers available in the google play. I tried some and the one that works for me is the Conference Call Dialer, https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...abzdev.confcalldialerstd&hl=en&token=2SbpAJ3o
