[Q] Minor frustration - people's voices = dial tone? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Have you ever been talking to someone and they say a word or just go "hmmmm" and suddenly it sounds like they pushed one of the numbers on their dial pad? Like, "We were walking down the street, and, uh...BOOOOOOOP."
It's obvious to me that these people are NOT pressing a number. It happens when they are calling from their iPhones, their landlines, their flip phones, etc. And it's usually women who are talking, not men,
I think it may be something within the Nexus hardware or perhaps within the Sprint network where it hears a certain tone in a voice and it interprets it as a dial pad tone.
Yes, this thread is question... several actually:
1. Anyone else experienced it?
2. Is there a fix for it?
3. Am I crazy?
4. Are the women in my life conspiring to drive me crazy?

Line 2 problems

I've got a line2 number from Orange on my SIM and having googled around I've found quite a few people having the same problem as I am.
When someone calls the line2 number the device does not ring or vibrate, but a notification pops up on screen, and the call can be answered, which is great if your looking at the device, but not when its in your pocket.
So I was wondering:
1) is there a fix for this?
2) will it be fixed in the (hopefully) upcoming WM6?
3) could I write a application that looks for incoming calls (on line2) and makes a ringing sound...
I'm guessing in theory 3 cant be too hard?

Voice Actions box after call made

I don't know if this is done by design or if this is an annoying bug, but I was wondering if it happens to other people, too.
After completing a voice call using Google's Voice actions, does everyone else get a "Did you mean..." box left on the screen?
Am I the only person that has seen this?

Is it Possible?

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

Is anyone having problem with the phone's microphone?

I talk into the microphone normal, but I've had reports by people that during a phone call they can't hear me unless I scream.
The exact same thing happens when I use the Google voice-to-text thing on MSGs. I literally have to scream for it to pick up my voice.
I'm on Sprint, and I doubt it's a carrier problem because my iPhone never did this. Any ideas?
Hello? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Delay in Speakerphone Availability

Is anyone else experiencing a delay when both placing calls, but even more noticeably, and more annoyingly, when answering calls, in speakerphone availability? What I mean is a call will come in, I will answer it, but the speakerphone button will remain grayed out for a few seconds, so I can not activate the speakerphone to say "hello." If my intention is to take the call on speakerphone, I must either say "hello" before I can activate the speakerphone, and risk the other person beginning to speak before I will be able to hear them if I have not put the phone to my ear, or I must delay saying "hello", which causes the person calling to hear the line open up, but wonder why I am not speaking.
I really can't imagine that I am the only one experiencing this and finding it incredibly annoying.
I actually contacted HTC, but have not heard anything back.
Can anyone else confirm this behavior?
I am using an unrooted Verizon HTC 10, but I doubt the carrier matters.
Thanks.
I see this thread had had, as of the time I'm posting this follow-up, 64 views, but not a single response.
If no one else is experiencing this, could some of you at least post to say that? If you can answer an incoming call, and instantly press the speakerphone button and say "hello" on speakerphone, with no delay, then I'd be interested in hearing that, particularly if you are using a stock Verizon HTC 10. Because that would seem to indicate there is an issue with my phone, or the software on my phone, since I can't do that.
I'm still operating under the theory, though, that the issue lies with the software, and that I am not alone.
Thanks.
Did I omit the secret handshake or something?
Seriously...is there a reason no one is responding, one way or the other?
