There is an App that might solve the problem.

Install "GoDial" from app store.

If you're confused, this is the one:

The app is very fast & smooth, doesn't have any lag, doesn't take any time to start up.

It's almost like the default Phone app, so getting on with it shouldn't be a problem.


Now, here comes the fun part,

Go to settings and Turn Single tap on dial - "OFF"

I suggest you Change your Start Tab to "Contacts" as well.

Now check the recent/history tab and tap on anywhere,

A dialog box will ask you to confirm the call, and you can now choose "Cancel"

For fast access, you should replace the default "Phone" app from the bar at the bottom with GoDial.


There is one hiccup though,
it only shows the history of "sent/dialed" calls, not received or missed calls,

so keep the default "Phone" app nearby.


There it is - simple, hope that helped - Thanks.
