I'm not exactly sure what or who the culprit is here.
Phone is rooted with JF 1.42,
but 2-3 times a day, my phone would ring once and when I look, it's a missed call from my own number!
Anyone else have this issue?
i myself havent had this problem but a friend of mine has said the same thing. i was like lay off the feel good smoke. but i guess he was for real. does anyone know what could be causing this?
Either you need to stop hanging up on yourself, or someone is spoofing the callerID.

could it be an app? use advanced task manager to view running apps and services running, and use it to close the apps you dont need, see if it continues, im also using rooted jf 1.42 rc33 and ive never had this issue, give us a list of your apps, there is also a program available that gives you a log of what the apps are doing that you cant see, that might help as well if you narrow it down.
if you cant fix it this way maybe downloading bratags call blocker and adding your own number to it would work, its kind of a cheap way to get around it, but if all else fails then...
Call blocking yourself. I laughed at the most rediculious things!

You are absolutely right. I noticed it and I found some of the calandering apps that I downloaded for testing are periodically accessing the phone, I don't know why and I could not figure out which because I had a lot of apps installed for testing. So I decided to uninstall every 3rd party app and see and that did the trick.
--Ram--
I don't perticularly have that many apps installed. I also don't try and uninstall a lot of apps.
These are the apps I have:
Hot Giggity!
Alkaline
Pkt Auctions eBay
Bubble
Astro File Manager
ShopSavvy (with the location thing turned off)
Finance
FastBright
AK notepad
Txtract
Labyrinth Lite

I didn't have any missed calls from me yesterday, but i had one already today.
Then the strangest thing happened.
My number is 733-xxxx
After the missed call from me... a second later i got a call from a number that also started with 733.... ... I answered and no one said anything...and then i called back and said I got a missed call from this number and the lady said wrong number.
how does phone number spoofing work?

if im correct its VOIP, but not from your phone, the way SPOOFAPP works is that there service calls you, using VOIP (which can be set to display almost any number) and so your phone rings with the number you wish to have your phone call as, then when you answer and press 1, it then confrence calls another person, also displaying the number that called you, since its the service making the call (your phone never makes a call, you only answer a call and are connected) and then the person on the other end sees the incomming number as what the service says it is, and it stays muted while you talk, making it appear as if your phone number isnt what it is, when really its the service who is calling not you
if someone is using this app, they can NOT call your number from your number, the app wont allow it (ive tried), i can not call 555-0123 as 555-0123, nor can i call as 911 and so on
not to say that other companys out there wont do this, but spoofapp will NOT

well how often do you call yourself from your own phone number? the only time youd do that is to take the long way to your voicemail
therfor the only other time a incoming call would be YOUR number, is when there isnt supposed to be a incoming call
therfor, callblocking yourself, would work imo
such a difficult concept
ok... weird
just had 4 missed calls from a 733-xxxx number and 1 from 733-yyyy number..... and one from myself.
What gives.... calling t-mobile but not sure what they're gonna say or do.
someone must be using an app called spoof123
Oh i know why this happens! You have the Voicemail callback service enabled!
Normally, when someone leaves you a message, all you get is a text message. Now, the voice mail computer calls you, you pick up and it'll tell you how many voice messages you have.
If you don't pick up, you have a missed call from your own number.
its so freaky =..=

I imagine having an alibi... Darling I called you, but you didn't took the call...
I will certainly have to remember this trick! There has been a many times this would have proved handy
Hmmmm, good that I dont need an alibi like that....
+ If I would say: "Yes honey I tried to call you 4am before I went to the afterparty, see my call history" she would probably tell me that she doesnt believe me anyway or that I should have sended smoke signals etc...
But there is a call duration entry. Meaning, that the call would only last <15 seconds.
Changing the time on the phone would work for your personal call history but not the official call history that shows on your phone bill.
As a father, I check my kid's phone calls and minutes semi-regularly by logging on to T-Mobile and viewing their recent activities.
Now, chances are if you need this for an alibi for a GF or some other friend it will work. If you need this for a more serious alibi, it's not going to work if the person has any way of checking the official carrier records.
Don't know about anybody else but if i make a call that isn't answered by anything, be it a person, ansaphone or voicemail, then the call duration in the call log is 00:00 and it never shows on my phone bill. The only way to prove that type of call was made would probably require access to the mobile operator's logs themselves which most of us don't have.
i have one problem in my vivo v3 . call log is not displaying in proper order.i dont know what to do.it is just scrumbled
omg.... thank you google!!! this might of just saved me $700 for late cancelling fees! miracle workers you are all saints!
Here's my scenario,
I'm receiving calls from 3 people that are annoying, I'm not looking for to block these people, but looking an app that can REDIRECT these SELECTED CALLERS to the number of my CHOOSING.
please help me find an app that forwards calls (THAT DOES NOT TAMPER WITH VOICEMAIL)
Thanx in adv.
I hear that phoneAlarm does this from pocketMax.
http://www.pocketmax.net
just tried it, and did find anything regarding call forwarding.
anyone else????
This won't help with your scenario, but might be useful for future reference.
Google Voice offers this functionality by default. You can send those callers to another number, or straight to voice-mail, or block them entirely if you choose.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any WinMo apps that will do that.
Not sure if MagiCall will help you. You can set up custom rules for each number.
Worked great when I was getting annoying calls.
I normally was using Magi call, but have it under hang up and drop. Problem is that it hangs up a second later (they can still hear my background and notice that it the call is being hanged up for the 1 second).
I have tried about 2-3 apps that they are suppose to block the call, instead it send s them to voice mail (I don't want them to have access to my voice mail) or does hang up immediately. Only if there is a TRUE CALL BLOCKER is would consider it.
I now focusing in finding a app that forwards these selected callers to any number of my choosing.
There has to be an app like this, someone hopefully comes through with that answer.

I'm looking for the same thing and PhoneAlarm Pro does support this feature from what I've read. I downloaded the Pro version and installed it. But after restart, it will get stuck on the main screen and nothing else will show. I waited for a while to see if it will load but nothing ever happened and I kept restarting over and over. I finally ended up doing a hard reset. I'm running on the Leo Cell Evo v5 rom tmobile and I don't know if it has something to do with it, but I don't feel like flashing to another rom to see if it works for me so I'll just leave it alone and let someone else figure it out.
Ok, I used to have an app installed on my phone that not only would block calls that i chose (by number) but it gave me the option for an error message to be played for the caller. I had it set to say "your call cannot be completed as dialed, please check the number and dial again." Now I cannot find this app, does anyone know what it is? Please help, thanks.
Jason
Not the app you're looking for, but I use aFirewall and it blocks calls. It just sends them to Voice mail, but if you have Google Voice you can set it up to send them to a really obnoxious voice mail message.
Yea, I had that, but the app I had before literally made the caller think your number had been disconnected. It was sweet.
cm6 rc2 has a blacklist in call settings, works just fine.

Yes, this works also, but it doesn't redirect to voicemail. It just outright end the call.
back to my main question, blacklisting is not the thing wanted, it is the message played to the caller, "your call cannot be completed as dialed, please check the number and dial again.
I had an app that allowed the user to chose the message the caller hears, another option was the...beep...beep...beep...beep tone.
It was sweet.
I would be interested in finding the name of this app... I'll keep an eye on this thread.
Done tonnes of searching and can't find what you mean.
If you do find it please send me a PM, sounds class

I'm pretty sure Google Voice does this, When I was reading the GV FAQ awhile back I remember thinking what a really cool function of GV it was. On the downside I believe GV has to be your primary number though, not positive, you might wanna check it out.

Google voice does let you set a specific number to get a disconnected message.
It does require for you to use google voice as your voicemail, but it does not need to replace your current number.
i've used this feature and it is quite effective. for maximum effect just set the option within your phone book to send the caller directly to voicemail.
your phone will not even ring.
Easybusy
I think you talking about easybusy. I use it and have my phone set to forward calls to a fake number like 555-555-5555. One problem, I'm currently testing the new energy rom and now my easybusy software will not work.
Hey all,
I'm running the latest CM7 nightly. Anyone have any idea how to send "Unavailable" caller id's directly to voicemail? I've been getting calls at all hours of the night and they never talk when I answer. Not even getting the pleasure of telling them off!
Thanks,
PhilyT
I believe Google voice can handle this but that's if you want to integrate.
mr number will
CM7 has a built in blacklist also, not sure if that helps any with unknown callers.

It won't help with unknown or blocked numbers. It works awesome on the numbers that aren't blocked though. I had this lady that would call my phone all the time asking for her brother or something, even after telling her she had the wrong number, she would call right back as soon as I hung up. She called me literally like 15 times in a row one morning at like 6am, and I couldn't turn my phone off because I use it as my alarm clock. God I wish I knew about CM7's blacklist feature sooner.
I don't have that rom, but I use an app called "Call Control"
Has a blacklist option, as well as automatically block unknown and blocked id numbers
Thanks guys. I was hoping there was something built in that I was missing, but apparently not. Oh well. Even Android can't be perfect
Using G975F Exynos, every now and then I am getting Call Not Sent error when I am trying to make a call. I can't pin point specifics that happen right before that, other than I think that the phone is playing something in the background (stream) or something like that. I try to dial from an address book and immediately the call drops and the above error shows up at the bottom. I may see (again - not scientific, but I think I noticed that occasionally) a difference between dialing from favorite contact - that is pressing the green phone icon in a favorite contact right at the top when you open the contact - vs dialing from the contact when you scroll down to see all the contact's numbers (does it make sense?!).
I would like to emphasize:
1. I don't always get this error, hence why I can't really put a finger as to what transpires right before that.
2.. It happens also when I manually dial, not just from address book.
As spoon as this happens, I see a white icon on the top that says something to the extent of "Voice is working in the background". It lasts a few seconds then disappears. Sometimes I am able to dial right after it disappears, other times I need to wait a few minutes until the phone is "ready" to make the call (no indication of when this happens, it's just a simply trial and error).
Anyone else experience this?
Thanks.
No one else has this issue?!
This is what I see in Voice when I get Call Not Sent. It can lasts from seconds to over a minute where I cannot make any call.
No one?!

Looks like it's a new issue nobody had before i'll put in my 10 cents and say that your app is somehow tied to something else and hence (Busy) and unable to dial i think you're on the right track. I would go into your list of apps i find out which app has the ability to make calls like Viber, fb messenger, skype and disable one by one to find out which one is doing it. Look for that icon you see in that screenshot you posted it doesn't look like a default dialer app icon to me.

It looks to me as the Google Voice app, but I don't necessarily call using GV when I am getting this error (meaning - the last call before starting getting Call Not Sent is not necessarily made using GV but rather the standard, mobile dialer).

Some voice dialers do have the option to set as default it might be causing a conflict disable it or uninstall it and see if the issue persists.
So it has been determined that this issue is happening when I try to dial when a BT headset is connected to the phone. It happens with two different BT headsets (different manufacturer and different types), and it may happen in the first call after turning the BT on or in a repeat call, either to the same number or a different number.
No one else with G975F or other S10+ is experiencing this issue?
Anyone? Is no one else having this issue of CALL NOT SENT when re-dialing with a BT headset connected?
Bump
Still looking for solution. I can't my phone is the only one that refuses to dial/redial when a BT is connected. Anyone?
