Strange incident - active call interrupted by busy signal

Hello everybody,
I recently had a very strange experience with my Vodafone VDA Compact GPS (this device is identical to HTC Trinity). I've talked to some friends of mine who know about mobile networks and Windows Mobile but it seems, I'm the only person who ever had this particular problem.
Here's what happened:
I had called a friend. He had picked up and we were talking so the call had already been established.
All of a sudden, during our conversation, I start hearing a busy tone from my phone. I'm still hearing my friend so the busy signal came out of nowhere parallel to the active call.
I check my phone display and it now shows two separate calls. First it says "Busy" and underneath this it shows the call with my friend (his name and the seconds counting).
In other words it looked as if my phone on its own accord had tried to call someone else during my call and was now getting a busy signal.
I asked my friend if he could hear the signal but he heard nothing.
Then the next strange thing happens. After 10 seconds of this then the phone software shows the call being finished. Meaning in the display I could see "Last call - my friend's name" and the "call" icon was back to green. I even tried pressing the "call" icon but nothing happens.
Only the call isn't really over. Although the display says otherwise, the call is still ongoing and I can talk to my friend for another 15 seconds or so before the actual call is suddenly interrupted.
In other words, the software is showing that the call is over but it really isn't. And the whole incident was caused by a busy signal that came out of nowhere.
After this incident I call customer support but they insist that I didn't call anyone else at the time.
As stated above, I've not been able to find anyone who has ever even heard about this particular malfunction let alone who could explain to me what might have been going on.
Has anyone here ever had the same or a similar experience or can anyone explain what might have happend?
I really hope somebody can help me out here.

Hmm, still no answers.
Maybe I should clarify my question. What I'm wondering is if anybody has experienced the same problem?
And/or if there's somebody out there who knows about these things whether this strange incident was most likely caused by a software malfunction on the device or any kind of network glitch....
I was told this forum is where the best of the best gather. So where do I find an answer if not here?

Caller id display on Diverting Call

Hi,
I have divert my old number to my HTC Hero. Is there any software/option that can show the that the call is being diverted to my phone instead of just showing the caller number?
I remember last time my Sony Ericsson phone caller display have an indication that show if a call is came from divert.
This is important for me so that I can still keep track of who is still calling my old number and I can update them accordingly.
Please advise

Same Issue
I have the exact same problem. Would be great if someone could come up with an answer.

Do you accidentally have them diverted to another phone or something? Really strange... Can you ring him?

The exact same thing happened to me a couple of days ago. The missus wanted to know why I hadn't rung her back, but I had no missed calls. I got my brother to ring me, stood next to me and it was showing it was ringing on his phone, bit my phone was oblivious to it! A reboot fixed it, but there's no way of knowing if it had happened. I could still send and receive texts.

A similar thing happened to me 2 days ago. The phone wouldn't ring, even when I called it from a different phone, but I did get a missed call notification. I had to restart and then re-choose a ring tone and then it worked again. I have no idea how this all of a sudden happened as I didn't change anything in the phone.

Were you using GPRS connection at the time? Because when connected to GPRS, and data is actively being sent/received, the phone will not respond and the caller will get an engaged tone.
This is ONLY when data is being sent/received, and only on GPRS, not 3G/HSDPA (Edge i'm not sure about)
Edit - this is based on quite old information from my early days with GPRS, you might want to check it.

I don't know what connection I was on, but I wasn't sending an engaged tone. Anyone ringing me had the ring tone, just no answer (obviously really as I couldn't answer even if I knew it was ringing!)

i have the same problem here. did anyone solve this yet?
thanks.

Is the "phone/ ring sound" switched of?

short missed calls converted to unknown entries in call log

I have observed one thing..whenever there is a short missed call and my phone is in locked state..it wakes up in 3-4 sec..if this call happens to be a missed call (only 1-2 rings heard on the caller's end), my phone doesnt recognize that number (even if it is present in my contacts) neither it shows which number i missed...so frustrating..any body else experienced this?
any workaround? i tried many registry tweaks posted on internet, nothing helped..hard reset my phone..but problem still there..

Same problem here, I suppose it's a bug on Phone part of the ROM, maybe it will be fixed in future versions. I try all the CPU performances and the problem persist.

It takes a little bit of time before the caller ID number comes through and get matched to your contact list. Depending on how many contacts you have on your list, it may also take a bit longer to find a match in a long list. So if your caller calls and ends call shortly, then the match may not be completed. It's not a bug.

But when my screen is on..i dont see this issue at all, i have checked many times giving as short call as i could..
i issue comes when the device is locked..so i think while waking the device up it takes long and there somehow it doesnt activate the callerid service, so the unknonw caller issue occurs..

When your screen is locked, your phone is in sleep mode. So it takes longer time to wake up first, then receive the call.

just received a bizarre phone call. am I safe?

own s7 edge not rooted.
just answered to a bizarre phone call, I heard 2 short bibs and after 2 seconds hung up.
those bips seems to be from a system or something. not human
the number's owner does not have any whatsapp account and I could not recognize him.
is there any possible way someone could still my information that way? or its not possible via a simple phone call
thanks

worse case you got put on a call list... Telemarketers often have PBX farms that call groups of numbers, and when you pick up the phone the PBX registers you as a human. They then turn around and sell their database to whomever they want. The beep or boop you heard was likely just a confirmation tone... you dont need to worry about any info being stolen though.
