I have been getting incredibly irritating calls from overseas from telemarketing scams. I have tried basically everything aside from changing my phone number... I would like an app or some kind of program that would allow me at the press of a button to send the loudest irritating screeching noise pulses down the line. Not sure if it can be done, but im bout ready to go get a new number!
Use a call blocker... If it's a Private Number I don't see any other solution then to get a new number

My Dash lately has been rejecting calls for no apparent reason. I get one ring and when I look to answer it there is a message on the phone saying the call was rejected. When I call the person back, they say the call went right to voice mail. I thought it had to do with the data connection being active and turned off my direct push email to eliminate that as an issue, but it still does it several times a day. Anyone having that issue with their Dash?
If you tap the volume touch-pad once, the incoming call ring is muted -- if you tap and hold on the touch pad during an incoming call, it's rejected -- I was doing this at first without realizing the features existed -- maybe you're doing the same. If not, no idea, as it hasn't been an issue for me since I realized why it was happening...
This is a fix for your problem:

I have an intercom in my building that is routed to my cell phone. I need to press number to open the door. In the latest builds of 6.5.1, when I receive a call, the option to show the keypad does not appear and no hardware buttons seems to trigger it either .
Is there a setting or registry key somewhere to force the keypad to appear also when receiving calls?
Also, when making call, is there any specific registry keys that control the screen turning on and off during call that I could control? I can understand the problem of having the screen active while the phone is on the hear, but I find it very annoying to have the screen turning off automatically while im answering questions from, i don't know if you remember the time, when the automated voice answering systems were only understanding key tones...
I find it ironic that my smart phone with gps and internet is not able to mimic the same functionality as any land-line phone can. Its like, yeah look at my new phone, its great for everything... except for the 'phone' experience.

I love XDA and its community and thanks to every hard working rom cookers. MS should pay you all big time for what your doing.
While on the phone with someone, if someone else calls, the current call goes completely mute.my girlfriend can't hear them and they can't hear her. Is there anyway I can fix this?
I have a Nexus One and I don't experience this issue.
This happened to me today! Ended up having to hang up on them and callin um back. Wonder what were doing wrong?

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but this sounds like normal call waiting behavior to me. If you want the current and incoming call to be able to hear each other you need to conference the calls, not use call waiting...
I'm having the same problem on my TP2.
What happens is this... You are on a call with 1 person... Another person calls, call waiting shows that another person is calling, BUT the problem is that my phone gets muted. You CAN hear the person you are on the line with, but they CAN NOT hear you, and turning your mute on and off does not help. Also, even if u take the other call... That person also can not hear you.
This is a big problem because you must end the call and call back the person u were on the line with... also, if the other person keeps calling... it turns into a real mess...
Any ideas?
in many phones (even very old ones) when the number is dialed and call button is pressed and it starts dialing when the other side's phone (the person you are dialing to) is ringing there is a change on your phone that you understand the other side's phone is ringing.
it is different with a vibrate that happens when the other side picks up the phone. (It's the time during which the other sides phone is ringing, you are listening to waiting beeps and the other side hasn't picked it up yet)
Is there any way understanding so (any message on screen, any vibrate or so) except listening to beeps?
It is really necessary here because in our country (Iran) there are many problem in network and sometimes the messages are not delivered and a missed call is necessary to help it deliver ;-) in that way u have to listen to beeps and make sure it is really ringing the there side or not and it sometimes not possible (e.g. you are at a party or meeting or so)
ooops! in got long... anyway any way for that ?
this is exactly what I mean:
when I start dialing it shows "dialing..."
and when it the other sides picks up the phone it shows "connected"
but the "dialing..." part is two parts:
1- when it is trying to connect to the network and there is no sign on the other side yet (there is silence if you listen to your phone)
2- when the other side is ringing (there is waiting beeps if you listen to your phone)
both these two are shown by "dialing...". I just wanted to know if there is a way to differentiate these two and get the exact moment the ringing on the other side starts.
(I don't know if I could transfer what I mean clearly or not)
This has always been a problem I am just now getting around to posting it. I must be doing something wrong. If I am on the phone with someone and someone else calls. I tell them I will call them back and take the latest incoming call but it never hangs up. I sit there and talk to the other person and it will continue to say they are there. Then once I am done talking to that person what will happen is I will hang up and the first caller will make a dial tone like beep beep beep then hang up it's weird.
Have you tried hanging up on the existing call, then accepting the incoming? When that happens [rarely ever for me], that generally works, and no issues.

I never have. I always just accepted the call. Also, I noticed lately that whenever I get a call a voice comes on and asks do I want to accept the call. Must be a setting I changed but I thought that I changed it back. Doesn't matter if it is a contact or unknown number or landline or cell.

Hmm, maybe a bug? Oh, well to fix the voice issue:
> log into voice on the chrome browser
> go into call settings
> UNCHECK call screening
Someone told me it could be Google Voice which I recently installed. But I uninstalled that and Skype and I still get a message once I accept a call. It says press one to accept or two for voicemail. Never used to do this. I am on FreeGS3. Not the latest update.

What you've found is the call waiting feature. When you accept the incoming call, it places you current conversation on hold while you answer the new call. If you would complete the second call and end it, it would reconnect you to the first call. Since you told the first caller that you would call back, he hung up but you placed that call on hold, hence the dial tone. If you would actually "end" the first call before taking the second on you wouldn't have the issue.
