Alcatel One Touch Conquest User Manual

I inadvertently stumbled upon the solution.  I had tried all settings having to do with apps and notifications but nothing had worked.  I had twice done a factory reset and talked with several tech support people and no solution had been found.

For some reason (escapes me now) I was in the location settings this morning when I noticed a sub setting for apps.   The dialer was on the list and in the dialer location settings I noticed a box 'show notifications' was not checked, so I checked it and that seemed to have fixed the problem.

Thank you, that's a good suggestion.  I tried but unfortunately there is no way to disable the default dialer.  I have, however, tried a couple of other dialers but that hasn't solved the problem.  Apparently they only work for outgoing calls.  Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hi LS. I suggest that you disable the default phone/dialer app and install a new one. Let me know if that works for you.
