Dialing a specific number causes the call to end abruptly - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This problem showed up just recently. Nothing has changed, just when I try to dial one specific number from my contacts, it starts the call, does maybe one tone, then ends the call for some reason. I was on mimicry, atm I'm using Andromadus b5 but the problem persists. Any help would be appreciated.

Is there anything special about that number?
Have you tried manually dialing the number to be sure it's not the contact?

Jenny 867 5309?

It's my GF's number, so you can imagine that it's kind of a serious problem. I tried dialing it manually, yeah. I'll try deleting the contact altogether, but I doubt it'll work.

It's a sign. Dump her!

Just a thought- check to see if you have any special chars in the number, like +1 or (555). Google might automatically format the number so you might have to edit the number to see the raw input.

Nope, even if I just dial it straight from the dialler, it still does this thing. Maybe it's something on the provider's end?

I have/had the same problem, but since using ics it seems to be solved...

So right now either I can reflash completely or contact my carrier, I guess.

What does it do when you dial from another phone?

Take your sim card and put it in another phone and dial the number. If problem persists then its your account. If it goes away it might be related to your original phone

Did a complete wipe, the problem persists. Put the SIM in my GF's phone without changing anything else. I could dial the number just fine. Guess I gotta figure out what's wrong with my phone.

Is there a gingerbread ROM yet with working 4G?

I've been out of the loop lately and just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
Thanks.

yes,
there is the leaked official rom....

Gingerbread + 4g + AOSP = CM7
Awesome, thank you both!
I can't deal with the VM issues on CM7. Otherwise, it is awesome. But the text each time you get a voicemail is ridiculous.
Update to using Google Voice... No more VVM issues with CM7, and works like a charm.

But why? Sounds like there's another option besides switching my phone number.
Besides, I can never get used to the "press 1 to talk prompt." I'm always like, hello? ... press 1 ... hello?

Well for one, you do not have to change your number anymore... Sprint has integrate with GV where your Sprint number is your GV number...
Second, yeah that is getting a bit annoying. I am hoping they fix that or provide a way to turn it off...

You, sir, just blew my mind. I am potentially very happy about this.
Potentially because I apparently do not have the capability yet. I don't have the "enable google voice on your sprint mobile phone" link next to my number.
grrr...

That is still in the testing phase, you won't be able to unless you sign up for testing (not sure if that is still open) or until they release it.

Dammit I want it now, though.
Why would switching to gv for voice mail change your number? I have gv as my voice mail and I don't need to change my number. Whenever people call my sprint number and I don't pick up it just goes to gv voicemail.
Also the press 1 to talk prompt can be changed in gov setting via computer not android app. If you log in to gv on your computer you can change the settings.

+1 I like the Google Voice MUCH better than Sprint VVM.....and the text translations are free (though not all that accurate at times). Just alot more options than VVM.
im using youmail for visual voice mail on CM7, works like a charm, and i dont get those text messages from 9019 or whatever number it was, i can't remember if i blocked them with my messaging app, but i think just fiddling with some settings makes it go away, after my most recent flash a few days ago the text messages never showed up,
Even if you have a gv number, it's not like you have to change your number. Dialing your sprint number still gets people to your gv voicemail.
Plus, like said above, if you're getting texts, just block them. Most of the GB AOSP ROMs (if not all) have 4g now.

"+1" dialing issues

I am using CM7 nighties and ever sense moving to AOSP I have noticed that all of my Facebook contacts that are synced with my phone come over with the "+1" prefix. When I go to make a call to one of them I am told that i don have a sufficient balance on my account to make this call. I am using Google Voice but this issue was around before I started using that. While using a stock Sense based ROM I don't have this issue it just drops the prefix and makes the call. I love CM& and AOSP and really want to continue using them but its getting old having to edit every number before i call it.
Have you tried turning google voice to only make international calls? Check the settings in the app.
Google Voice is what is telling me that I don't have a sufficient balance. Before I had Google Voice it would say that it was not able to place the call.

Hmmm you could try going to google.com/voice and changing your GV number linked to your phone. Have you ported your sprint # into google voice? I use two separate numbers, 1 sprint # and my GV has a seperate #. If you try that make sure you go back to call settings and select "voicemail number" and dial that little number that pops up to activate it again.
Or
Try going to all the numbers and removing the plus, google voice thinks you're calling long distance dude. I believe aosp roms don't like the +1 man you have to get that plus out lol.
Its a ROM issue. I was wondering if there was some setting or app that would take care of the issue.
I can't edit the numbers that are brought in by Facebook.

Ouch damn that sucks. It has to be aosp...ill do some research see what I come up with lol.
My last guess would be to try another dialer and use it over the stock cm7 one. Search market for "dialer one" or "go dialer".
Go dialer

Dialer one

I like go dialer but it is a no go. Still happens. This has to be in the rom some where.

try going to menu-settings-call-plus code dialing and untick "north American dialing" thats what finally worked for me.

The only temp solution i have found with MikG 1.x is to go into your contacts and unlink the Facebook contact, hit done, and then manually relink the Facebook contact. This workaround effectively got rid of the +1 dialing prefix on the majority of my contacts.

Are the numbers saved in the phone contact with the area code? if not...try adding the area code.
If that doesn't work, try uninstalling google voice, delete the google voice add-on in your sprint.com account, reboot your phone and then reinstall and resetup
Its working now . I think it was a hiccup in Google voice . Thanks for the help
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Before uninstalling Google voice, I suggest logging out in settings/more before anything. With (conditional) call forwarding, it can be a nightmare trying to troubleshoot if you pull the plug on it before logging out. My gf had a gv problem this week. I suspect it was user error in setting up "properly" and uninstalling before logging out. Sprint couldn't help her (she is stubborn and wouldn't listen to me) and she started flipping out. After I got her to install it again and log out, then the problem disappeared.

[Q] Activation question... Sort of...

So I just switched to a Gallaxy S3, and gave my rooted phone to my girlfriend. Booted into EL30 from SD card and got the phone activated. Everything works great, except when I call her, it comes up as "voicemail" in the caller ID. Same thing happens when she calls me, she will dial my number and instead of saying my name, it says "voicemail" Did I do something wrong with the activation? I deleted all my accounts off the phone, in the settings, "about phone" it has her number.
Any ideas?

You might need to reflash her phone with NO restore.
Might be a really dumb suggestion (but I have my stupid moments...), but she doesn't have a 'Voicemail' contact with your number programmed into it, does she?

Lol. I wish it was that simple. Gonna do a full wipe.

AT&T Voicemail on CM10 broken.

I recently installed CM10 and have not been able to listen to my voicemails. When I get a notification for a voicemail and try to call, it says "No voicemail number is stored on the sim card". Is there a number I can add to get this up and running? Tried using Google voice but it says there was an error forwarding the number. Anyone know how I can fix this?
Not sure how you could fix it permanently, but for a temporary fix just call your cell number on your phone and listen that way.

Thanks, that worked. Is this a known problem with installing an AOSP ROM? I'm coming from Verizon and I never had this problem.
I've actually had the same exact problem as you did. After days of searching, here's the solution:
Dial *#61# from your phone. AT&T will send you your voice mail number. Copy that down.
From the Dialer, hit Menu and go to Settings>Voicemail>Setup>Voicemail number. Punch in that number, and you're good to go.

I had trouble with this too. Go to the google voice webpage and verify your google number, youll get the same error if you try the mmi code given when you click 'activate'...so just get your google number and then on your phone settings under call forwarding change the forward number(s) to your google number, and keep the +1 in front. you may need to change your google number if this doesnt work, mine worked fine once i did that, but you might not have to. hope this helps.
Ya, right out of the box, setting up google voice didnt work properly. Had to manually set my forwarding numbers as my google voice. I had to do it manually, OH THE HUMANITY. Lol
