Direct Dial Issue - Calling Wrong Contact

I can't say I've experienced this problem myself but some readers have been asking about this issue with the Galaxy S3's Direct Dial function.  It doesn't always call the person whose contact details are open, or whose message is being read.  Some people are even reporting that Direct Dial just calls one specific number each time. The only "solution" found so far is rebooting, which seems to clear some sort of cache.  That's certainly not practical, so hopefully Sammy is aware of this issue and will address it in their next update.  Have you experienced this problem or found a solution? Let us know below!

Yes I have had this problem. It is always the same person, my sister in law. When you say reboot you mean full off and on again?

I've also had this problem, very annoying since the number its decided to dial is one of our main customers!

Had this problem too, very very annoying and embarrassing. Thinking I'm ringing my girlfriend and end up getting through to a friend of mines, Dave's answer machine. Sometimes at very inconvenient times.

Some extra info here is that Dave's number is in my call log. Since it's been in the log it's the only number that gets called when I lift the phone to my head, even though I make sure I have the correct contact card showing before I lift the phone. There's Marta's pretty face looking out at me.. then I hear Dave's voice - not a good combo let me tell you!!

Every time I make a call now I'm having to quadruple check that the right person is actually being called :(

Have you guys updated your software with Kies since you got it?
