So ive had my phone for 2 days
Everything works fine except that when a call comes in, it will only show the number. Once I answer it, THEN it will show me the name connected to that number.
To clarify, if i have 20 people in my contacts listed by name, if one of those people call me, say Bob, it will just show their number when they call. Only after I accept the call, will it show Bob along with the number. Obviously this is bad because I dont know my friends numbers, a just their name. Ive searched all thru-out the phone and cant find the option to turn this on. I just simply want that if somebody calls me, and their number is in my contacts, to simply display their NAME along with the number, BEFORE i choose to answer the call or not of course
Anybody have this issue?
Please dont say reset the phone, spent to days getting it to the way I want it to be....

Anyone else yave this problem? On some stored numbers in my contacts when i click on the person it dials an m0111 befoe the regular number. But when i look at the contact before i press call the correct regular number is there. Its only when i hit call it tacks that on. The contacts are verizon numbers also. Ok the M is normal as it means mobile number that is being called. The last 1 in the 0111 is the start of the area code. Ex 1-201-52*-****. I called the verizon and they said it is trying to dial international for some reason....they want me to hard reset i said no im not doing that yet.
Two or three times now its happened where if someone calls my phone and I miss the call, after they leave a voicemail I get notified of the voicemail, but then my phone starts ringing again instantly and the caller ID shows my own number. If I try to answer that "call" I get silence, then some random number dialing, then it disconnects. Any ideas?
The first time it happened I thought whoever had called just called right back but I missed that call as well. When I looked at my call log, it shows my own number as a missed call. It just happened now as I was sitting at my desk, I didnt answer because I was on my office phone, and just as I got the notification, I got another call from my own number. Seems odd to me...
Anyone else getting this ever?

I could only think this is your phone's way of telling you to check your voicemail. usually, on t-mobile anyway, if you dial your own cell phone number it redirects you to your voicemail. It could be an error with your firmware or network though. Have you made any changes to your phone recently (i.e. ROM change/update)? Think of any possible conditions that may have changed with your phone since this started. Have you contacted your provider? Check your online call history through your carrier site and see if the same number appears at the time of call. If it does, the issue could be someone spoofing you. You can do this with spoofcard/spoofapp. It's hard to actually connect with a phone with the same number you're spoofing though, since it redirects to voicemail. As a precaution, i'd add a pin to my voicemail if I were you- in the event that this is the case. I found this out by spoofing one of my buddies once. In an attempt to boggle his mind, I tried using his number as the number of origin and found out that it directed to his voicemail, giving me access to that information.
It happens if I call my own phone from my house and leave a voicemail. I dont think its anyone spoofing my number. As you said, its almost like the phone gets a notification from a remote computer and a call from it at the same time.
I has done it at least once with every version of ARHD I have ran, but not all the time.

Call up your voicemail and go through the main menu to make sure voicemail paging notifications are turned off.
Ha! I bet that was it! Thanks go to you sir.
It was turned on for urgent messages (which explains why not all did it). When I turned it off and left myself a voice mail test it didn't do it. Weird, I wonder how it got turned on...

I received a call while I was working, I could not answer. I could not answer because I was busy working. I didnt want to answer because I did not know the number. Not being able to answer, the caller left a voicemail. Which turned out to be a blessing in disguise because Im still able to listen to it via voicemail. If I were to have answered I would have thought someone butt dialed me and thought nothing of it and hung up. But after listening to it, I realized that it was my voice and hers.
At first I thought maybe my girlfriends apartment was bugged for whatever reason. The people shes renting from are very reputable. So we went and checked everywhere. Nothing. However, I thought to myself how would they get MY phone number if it is not affiliated in any way to her apartment or where she lives.
So that leads me to think that something may be on my phone. I have since factory reset my phone. The crazy thing about this whole situation is that the conversation that was recorded was from TWO DAYS ago. Who has my number? How are they able to record me? Do I just wait to see if I receive another call? I wont be putting any sensitive information on the device for fear of it being compromised. If I do get another call, Ive already decided Im destroying this one and buying another phone.
I never opened any weird emails. Never downloaded any weird apps. Never opened any links in any received texts. Im on Android 10 on a One Plus 7.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
here's a possibility - you and your girlfriend were talking and then you butt-dialed someone and it went to their voicemail. That person decided to call you and playback the voicemail. Look in your call log for an outgoing call that you don't recognise at the time of your conversation with your gf.

I hadnt thought of that, I checked the records, and there was no butt dial. I called the number that called me and it said it was no longer in service. Looking at the records on my cell providers site and there was no record of that number ever calling me. Which leads me to believe it was spoofed.
I searched a lot to find a forum for this topic I couldn't find one so here it goes.
I live in Canada and I received 5 or more calls from this number (716-895-3300) .. it is a Buffalo, NY number and it is a medical facility fax number or something from what I found out in my search. I received 5 calls within half an hour from this. Every time it would leave a voice message and the voice message is silent except some beeping noises. I didn't answer the call even though I was tempted but I made a big mistake. I accidentally called it... I was trying to call my voice message number but my finger hit this number and it went on until my phone vibrated(meaning probably that call went through) and then I hang up. After calling this number the calls stopped. Again suspicious.
So my question is... can you get hacked if you call a suspicious number like this?
I changed my banking app password but didn't change my multiple email address passwords.... too lazy. So can you get hacked if you call a suspicious number and the call goes through and just when they are about to pick up you hang up?
What makes you think you been hacked?
It may be true that your device was compromised, but not from those calls.
I don't think that your mobile phone will get hacked if you just call a suspicious number.
Probably ok for such a short time frame call...
Trying to figure out whether this is normal behavior for the S22 Ultra, and if so, why is such an obvious flaw is not fixed?
Call comes in and the phone properly shows the Caller ID name, which is obviously super helpful. Once the call is logged in the Recents List, however, only the number shows and I no longer remember who the call came from, and have no way to get it. I believe the same is true for outgoing calls, where the Caller ID tech identifies the name of who you're calling once you dial the number, but again you're left with just the number and no name in the Recents List.
So why in the world wouldn't the phone be able to capture that name data and store it for future use without having to specifically save that number as a contact, and although I haven't tried to do this yet, would the name at least be saved then, or would I have to manually enter it all over again?
Unless i'm missing something, this Caller ID Name feature seems half baked at best. Sure, it's good to get that name when the call comes in, but it you're not around or if you need to know who had called a day earlier, you're completely out of luck!
