I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else, Someone called my phone about 3-4 times but it never rang. Thenmy phone does ring and they say I called them, when it was my phone that just rang and I answered, I didnt make any call. Both of our phones somehow automatically called each other. My call log shows an incoming call from that person, and their phone shows an incoming call from me at exactly the same time. Anyone know the reason why?
Lol someone probably prank called you using the application evil operator. It connects two phones and you can record the conversation. It's quite a nice app.

Are you on stock? I know with AOKP you have to change the sounds, default is silent ringtones.

But this has happened before, with people who couldnt possibly have both my and the other person's number, so i dont think thats it.

With Sense, there was an option in Contacts to send that certain contact straight to voicemail. Is there not such an option with touchwiz?

I thought I was just being stupid and couldn't find it. It wasn't a Sense feature... its a feature of Android itself that for some reason Samsung removed.
I guess this is another reason I'll be hoping for a pure Android ROM...
Yeah, I'm not sure why on earth they would remove that...
launcher pro will let you access that hidden menu i used it on my epic 4g and now on the epic touch.
Google voice will let you do that, and Sprint let's you use your existing number with it. Not a perfect solution, but at least it's a free workaround for this problem, and GV has a lot of other really nice features, so no reason not to use it - takes about 5 minutes to setup.

I was the biggest advocate for GV..WAS! After all kinds of issues with calls not going through and constant text send/receive issues I disabled GV and ALL of my problems went away. My friend was telling me to disable it because he had sprint too and was having none of my issues. I fought him for like a month. When I finally got rid of GV and my stuff started working again I had to eat crow and tell him he was correct.
It was amazing when it worked, but it gave me far too many problems to rely on as my primary form of communication.

Not sure if you are still wanting to receive voicemails from the numbers you are trying to block but if not I just use the sprint website and block numbers I dont want to receive calls or texts from...just a suggestion...

+1000000 on this ive had my phone for about 2 weeks the first few days it was fine then i enabled gv and then my calls just kept ringing meanwhile the other end people could hear me and my background noise while it was still ringing on my end
and also 50% of the time my calls wouldnt start ringing at all i would have to hang up and recall a few times to get them to connect, finally i went to google voice website and unchecked all of the boxes next to my mobile number on there and my calls started using my stock number again (not the gv one) and i havent had one single problem connecting or not receiving calls since
phone appears to not b ringing, its not on silence or anything, whats up?

Check your sound and ringtone settings.. It might be that the sound you had setup is no longer working or has been deleted, or whatever. Try other ringtones.
ok i trying that, how about this i have a tone that on my blackberry it was a notifer, but on the Epic is showing only as a ringtone and wont give it to me as a option for a notifier tone?
Also do you have any call blocking or call screening apps? Had one of those and most of the time the phone wouldn't ring. Deleted it and phone worked perfectly/ Sprint allows call number blocking via their website.
Try zedge in the market for all of your ringtone, notification, and wallpaper needs.

Thank You very much for this info......I've been using Mr. Number and I too have had some issues w/ my sound dropping off and I have to reboot to fix it. Hopefully uninstalling Mr. Number will fix it. Updating my Sprint account to ignore the #'s instead! Damn solicitors!!!!!!!!!!!
It seems like I'm getting calls from everyone except from my wife.
I am on a rooted/CM7.1.0/Droid Incredible and she is on a stock Incredible. We are both on the same Verizon plan.
When she calls, it rings 3 times for her and then to Voice mail. It never rings on my phone. I have checked
I have and use Google voice for voice mail but she is calling my Verizon number.
The "Send calls directly to voicemail" box wasn't checked. I have deleted her contact in my phone and my contact in her phone and it still goes straight to voice mail. I can call her and other people can call me.
Any ideas?

Dude, you would get so much money on ebay for that phone.
The only thing i could think of is mabey google voice thinks your wifes number is spam. If you go to google.com/voice and hit the gear icon on the top right, select settings and then the calls tab. Uncheck global spam filtering save the change and then see if that works.

that was unchecked
Update:
Formatted everything and "upgraded" to Pons CM7.2 Incredible builds (12192011).
All is working great.
Ha ha, you probably got hacked... Lol
Edit:
To clarify things, guys, he stated that he 'only uses google voice for voicemail'...
This means she is calling his Verizon phone number first... Which, he has something called 'conditional call forwarding' setup... So, even if google voice were set to block her, as spam, it would still have to dial his handset first... And actually ring(or be ignored).
To my knowledge, i haven't seen a way inside of Android to block callers...
Which is why i jokingly say, you got haxxed...
I bet if you flashed a clean install of cm7 again, it would work fine
If you long press the end call button while in a call, you are given the option to put that number on a black list. You could have done that without realizing
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
Nice, good catch..
That sounds like the most reasonable explanation so far

Thanks for pointing that out. My 1-year-old son might be the culprit.
Formatted everything so not sure, but good to know for the future.

When not using Bluetooth my voice calls always answer with speaker phone on. How do I default the calls to SP off? I've searched and found a few ideas but none work.
Os this a Goolgle voice thing or related to my ROM? I use Caulkin and I have had this issue for aqhile.

Do you use GV to make & receive calls? Is your phone paired with your GV account, or do you simply use GV for voicemail?
I just use GV for voice mail.

Nope, no Voxer. I'm not even sure when the problem started. It could have been before I started using Google Voice for voice mail (integrated with Sprint).
I haven't found any GV settings that would enable the speaker phone on the phone.

There is a GV setting for answering with speaker on. If your phone is integrated, it might be forcing your phone. Try changing that setting or even freezing GV and see if anything changes
I have this issue too wether I have apps or not installed and even b4 I rooted. I think it's a glitch with the phone itself. It's annoying! It doesn't always do it but when it does it looks stupid that I got the phone to my ear and then the person bust out on the speaker smh

Is it possible your phones are in car mode or the "Driving Mode" that the Samsung version of Vlingo installs? I think one of the car mode features is to automatically answer calls in speakerphone mode.

My driving mode is never on. It just does it idk y.. Maybe it saves the last calls setting so if you hang up on speakerphone the next call comes thru on it. Idk but I will test it out tomorrow and see.

I know this is months late, but my wife's phone just randomly started doing this. Go to voice talk in apps tray, then hit menu button, then scroll down to voice talk settings, then disable auto speaker on answer.
This just worked for us. Just in case anyone else comes looking for the answer.
Major problem. If someone tries to call me, all they get is silence on their end. It doesn't even ring. Obviously my phone wont physically ring either. I am not sure whether it is related to my rom either. I am on the jellyverse rom and do not think I have changed anything before getting the problem. I called sprint and they tried resetting on their end a few times but it wasn't helping any. They told me they would send someone to the tower, but that cant be the problem since it is happening everywhere I am. They then told me to take my phone to the sprint store to have it checked out, and ultimately I might have to have phone replaced. The other thing that isnt working is if i physically call voicemail by holding the 1 button on the keypad. This is probably a related problem. Everything else seems to be working. I can make all other outgoing calls besides vmail. Data/email works. Text messaging seems to be working fine. Can anyone in this great epic touch community help?

Did you delete anything sound related. Happened to me when I deleted DSP manager while I was flashing sound mods. I deleted dapanager and had no sound of any kind what so ever
Not that I know of. I dont think I explained it clearly enough.
Someone will try to call me. They dial my number. Put their phone up to their ear. And they hear nothing. No ringing, no dial tone, no busy signal. Nothing.
On my side. I dont hear anything either. No incoming call ring. No missed.
I just messed with google voice settings to see if if that might be the problem. I unclicked my phone from the call forwarding list. Now I can call voicemail, but still no incoming calls.

Similar thing happens to me from time to time... My wife will text me wondering why I don't answer the phone. "Well... It didn't ring". Then shortly after, I get A VM notification. No idea what the issue is and sprint is worthless to fix it. That's why I am force roaming my a** off to have them kick me so I don't have to pay the ETF. Switching to AT&T as soon as they send me the termination letter.

Well gray I hope you get out without an etf. A couple friends of mine recieved a letter then they were called a couple months after. Etf due. They are being given the run around by sprint. I can guarentee sprint wont get the money from them. Although doing that leaves bad marls on your credit report. Goodluck man:beer:

They can't legally do that if they kick you because of roaming. Most of the time, a person doesn't even know they are roaming or can't help it.
