Href = "tel:" on android trying to add a contact instead of launching a call

I have a standard html tag:

<a href="tel:08435034853"...

While IOS and some Android devices start a call, others, such as nexus7 / android4.4, display a popup with action buttons: Close / Add to contacts

Could not find anything about this, how does the new android work?

Does anyone know if it is possible to force all Android devices to be called?

First of all, you can check out this thread on this topic. It has some potential tips that might work on some exclusive devices.

In addition: not all Android devices are capable of making voice calls. For example. I am sure that the Nexus 7 you are mentioning is not. In such cases, a reasonable alternative suggests the user to add the number to the contacts instead. Is it not possible that your problematic devices simply lack the voice call feature?

Create one javascript function and add the following code:

 function makeCall(contactNo) { document.location.href = 'tel:' + contactNo; }

And it works fine in Android 4.4
