> The issue was traced to Microsoft Teams

I want to know how a crappy app from Microsoft can break the dialer on my phone. What the hell?

The recent issue (from the last two years) does not appear to be Teams-related. The Teams thing was from the first wave of emergency call failures, which was traced to a bad interaction between Teams and the Android dialer.

Seems the newer issue would be dialer related as well then.

I have several apps with their own dialers on my phone... I just never realized they could break the system dialer in such a way.

Any app can register as a call app. Which Teams does since it supports VoIP calls.

The issue is the pixel/aosp dialer framework tries the apps first for emergency calls instead of going straight for cellular.

I say Pixel/AOSP because I’m not sure if it’s prevalent in AOSP since other Android phones have had the same issue but nowhere near the same scale.
