Today I received an incoming call from a known number (my friend) and when I accepted the call (slide to the right) the timer started counting and I was hearing the sound that you hear when you dial somebody. Because, it was, in fact actually dialing that number. My friend didn't pick up her phone (busy or something) so I got the message "please leave a voicemail..."
And that happened about 4 more times, one of those time she picked up the phone and asked why I called her. I said I didn't call her. I received an incoming call from her. And after that until now I keep receiving a notification saying "new voicemail" and there are new voicemail. And these voicemail are the sound mentioned above (the sound you hear when you dial somebody).
So what happened? How can an incoming call when accepted call back? And who made the calls? It appeared that my friend had access to her phone, not like it was stolen or something.
It can possibly be the network provider (yours or your friend's carrier) acting up. That issue doesn't sound like its the actual phone. Have both you and your friend call both of your carriers and ask them to reset the network. Explain the situation to them. Maybe they were doing some testing/maintenance and it interfered with the service.

NEVER call police!!! :good:
Valentines day is close and that friend:cyclops: maybe....cupid did it?
Google's algorithms have determined that you two really need to talk.
I followed dicecuber's advice and called 911. I was told that this was done by the NSA.
Just kidding
Now things seem to be peaceful. No more calls from my known-but-unknown friend. I now have 6 voicemail like that though. Wasted about 30 minutes to listen to those voicemail, and I'm using T-Mobile $30 100-minute plan.
I thought of the possibility of an app on my phone doing this and am considering doing a factory reset, but I'm not sure if it's even possible for an app to do that. Not to mention I believe I don't have any malicious apps on my device.
- If I do a firmware restore would I need to calibrate the battery?
- Do you add an "s" after "voicemail" to make it plural?
For those that are wondering, this is absolutely not a trolling post nor a joke.

Recently looking at my bill, youmail uses a minute everytime someone is forwarded to their number. It is considered call waiting and call forwarding and everytime 1 minute is used. Thought I'd post this because you aren't normally charged for a missed call but now you are if you use them, and probably any other type voicemail service. thought I'd let everyone know before their minutes slowly disappear.

This sounds more AT&T related, than a problem with the HTC Raphael (which this forum area is for).
All I can say regarding that is, it doesn't happen on my carrier.. You might have more luck on a forum about AT&T though, maybe contact their customer support team?
I've been having an issue where my incoming calls are sent directly to my voicemail. It happens about 70% of the time, and its incredibly frustrating. I went into a Sprint store and they performed a firmware update, and it seemed to fix the problem for a couple weeks, but its back again. I've tried searching but havent been able to find anything.
A Sprint employee told me that Android phones require a couple seconds to "completely" hang up. Not sure that the issue though. My area is 1x, phone is in Hybrid Mode and the feature to automatically send to voicemail is disabled.
Any ideas? Anyone else having this problem?
I am having the exact same issue; and I've noticed it has gotten worse over the last week. I'm not in a 3g area, and I notice it happens more frequently if I've been surfing the web or using data.
do you guys/gals experience this in one particular area? meaning it o only happens at home? seems like your phones might not be getting service and the calls get sent straight to voicemail.
Since CDMA cannot handle voice and data at the same time you may notice calls going straight to voice mail if you've been browsing or using data. The call may never come through if you happen to be using data at the exact time a voice call is coming through...
check settings/call settings and make sure DDTM mode is not checked

mine seems to be more or less random. I usually have solid signal; and I've had people tell me they called four or five times and the first ones went right to voicemail and then one randomly gets through. In these cases I KNOW I haven't moved my phone...

This is true, however, the device is smart enough to know when to cut the data connection if a call is coming in.
I got a replacement device yesterday, seems to be working fine now.

This is exactly what I was experiencing, also in solid 1x coverage. I would recommend going to a Sprint store and asking for a replacement. They replaced mine with no questions asked when the Rep tried to place a call to my phone unsuccessfully in the store.

Hey everyone!
I have, what i hope to be, an easily solvable issue.
I am studying abroad and my school gave me a free nokia crap phone which is great for making phone calls. I also happened to bring with me my G2 (unlocked) and have a seperate plan with just data, I just carry these two phones around and the system has pretty much worked fine for me.
However, I realized today that I coud forward the incoming calls from my crap phone to my G2. I like this because since I have a nice phone I kinda wanna use it! I only have one issue, outgoing calls. If I could set up outgoing call forwarding to my crap phone, I could just leave it in my room and just carry around the G2.
TLDR, is it possible to make calls through the G2 and have it routed through my other phone number?

Hey. I have the same "issue" . Have you find the sollution yet?
Hi. I have noticed a weird problem. I can call anyone and everyone can call me. But i have this particular number which my phone wont call. It starts ringing but after about half-second it cuts and tells me that the number is not available. But the number can call me. And i also noticed that when i have both these phones next to each other, the other one turns on its display as soon as my phone dials it, but wont connect, because my phone cuts it...
What kind of problem could that be? I tried removing the contact and adding it again, as well as rebooting my phone.
P.s.: the irony is that the particular number is my gf's lol

Maybe the person accidently barred your number from calling them?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Well too strange that it started happening after i changed my phones (very old nokia for this new moto g)
Yeah thanks, the operator told me that this is usually bcause of banning the number from the other phone..
And yes, somehow my number was on the black list of my gf's phone, though she's not much into setting anything in her phone, so we dont know how did i get there
Thanks everyone
Not sure if this is a carrier thing or the device? I switched from AT&T to Verizon when this device came out. When on a call and a call comes in I place original call on hold and answer incoming call. If I then hang up on that call it hangs up on both people. Is there no call waiting?
Never had to tell someone they need to hang up so I can switch back to the other person on hold. Seems like either a bad carrier issue or bug? Never had CDMA carrier before so hopefully not an issue I'm stuck with?

This is a CDMA bug since it happens with Sprint as well. I was like you, I switched over from AT&T about 4 years ago. It absolutely drove me crazy for about a year until I just finally gave up and accepted it. I'm hoping that things will chnage when VoLTE becomes the standard:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

If you have Sprint dial *38 and/or *720 to restore your call waiting. And for other mobile companies ##21#. But you can read through and find the correct deactivation. The problem happens because somehow call forwarding was active. I think it happened for me when I used my sprint number as my Google Voice number.
