Phone dials and calls contact while texting

[jkrezdorn]

During a text with contact, my phone will call the contact. It seems to happen while using the talk to text microphone. I do not see any type of call button around that button. Anyone else have this happen?

Do you have the lift to dial feature on?

I do. I switched to handcent, and it no longer does this.

It was the lift to dial. You just need to turn it off and you'll be fine with stock

Settings> my device> motions and gestures> motions> direct call then turn it off.

Thank you. I would have never figured that out from the previous note about "lift to dial." Some of this stuff is really buried!

I always love to read some of the responses that others post. It is pretty straight forward, what you are dealing with. I am too. NO! No other message app, not other mumbo, simply put, holding the phone (S4) texting with the stock app, and whammo! Calls whomever I am texting. Real nice, good thing I have a spare, this one is going to the batting cages. LOL! No, it really is. OMG!

Thanks, I hated that auto dial for the last 2 years.
