I can't make an outgoing call in Viber and multifon android apps(using viber or SIP protocol, not GSM!) because sailfish intercept the phone number and ask to starts native dialer. So what shoud i do to prevent call interception? Incoming calls to Viber and multifon works fine. This bug is not related to all of the android apps, because, for example, Skype calls works as expected.

Got last update: 1.1.1.27

screenshot after pushing call button in Viber: 20150121041106.jpg

Update: Same on 1.1.6.27

Update2: By updating Viber android app i can make a voip call from it, as expected. But still can't make a voip call from Multifone android app. Propose, that sailfish intercept some android API calls and Vider doesn't use it any more, as Multifone does.

Update3: Problem gone in version 2.0.1.7

adds a screenshot. no special characters in a number. In multifon i calls to somethig like 79261234567 In Viber just push top button "call" in conversation screen (in phonebook it stores like +79261234567)

What do you mean, no special characters? And what is that %2B? It looks like percent-encoded '+' to me.

pichlo, yes it's '+' character. But why native dialer intercept calls from viber and multifon apps?

Sorry, I meant %2b appearing instead of '+'....

First of all, i don't agree that is duplicate. My problem is that i calling someone in Viber or multifone, but sailfish catch it's phone number and call it using native dialer by GSM. Your workaround helps to solve the problem with '+' character, but native sailfish dialer still intercept calls(now with right '+' character)

I can confirm this showstopper - it's impossible to use any andoid-voip app to initiate a call (because the jolla-dialer intercepts every dail-attempt as soon as you start the dialing). On the commandline, journalctl shows nothing when the native dialer dialog hooks in, thus, its hard to debug. :(
