hi
i saw an interesting thing in the phone today. the recent calls were not being shown in the call log. then i deleted the entire call log, and gave a call from another phone. this time it showed the call.
in theory, the phone is supposed to delete the Oldest log itself and continue to keep the recent ones.
any reason for this to happen? and any solution please

Hi,
never noticed this before but it's really annoying.
I received a text earlier from someone whos number is not in my phone book (cos they are a company and I don't need to speak to them often).
but, I can't call them back!...if I click on the number it asks me if I want to create a contact...when I click no (because I don't)...it just goes back to the SMS....
how can I just call them?????
when you are inside of the message just hit the call button
I'm new to the android world (just got a Mytouch 4G) and have a vexing issue. I'm a broker and get a lot of calls from random numbers not on my contacts list. The problem is that for missed calls, I call the person back, but the number is still listed on the call log with the missed call. Is there any way to instead have the standard behavior I'd always been used to with older symbian and win-mo phones of automatically clearing the missed call icon when I've called the number back?
Sometimes I have a lot of calls to make and can't get to missed calls until after making those other calls... now when I see a missed call, I have to look through all the numbers I've recently dialed to make sure I haven't already called them back. Am I just missing something, or is there a way to get the desired behavior?
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?

EDIT: ARHD 3.6.7 and included kernel. Its happened on other versions of ARHD also however.
ive never had that issue due to my rom or hardware but i kno theres apps out there were someone can call you and itll show any # they want, including your own. If your rooted try a full wipe and fresh install otherwise someone can be messin with u

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...

Hello everyone! I want some help here! The problem is this:
A couple days ago i noted a telephone number on the call dialer and a few moments later pressed the call button so as to save the number at the call log and save the contact later. However the moment i pressed the call button i had no signal. So this call never appeared at the call log and as a result i missed this very important telephone number... So my question is IF there is any way to find the log of this uncompleted call. My device is an HTC Legend with HomICS 2.0 rom, using the default dialer. I'm not sure this is the right board to post this...
Thanks in advance...
utr! Emergency!
I have a new Samsung Galaxy S6, running 5.1.1. For a week, incoming and outgoing text messages have been registering correctly in the call log. As of today, texts are no longer registering in the call log (but they appear in the message log) and no previous texts are listed. I have spent quite a bit of time looking online for an answer - no luck. I would appreciate any help.
Best and thanks,

Thanks, but that did not work. Any other suggestions?
Try a full reset. Your problem may also be due to a rougue app. I hope this helps.
Nope, still did not work. Still not recording incoming or outgoing text messages in the call log.
Surely a 'call log' is for calls, therefore SMS messages aren't included?

I would agree but the oddity is that text messages were included in the call log (the log indicated that the contact was an SMS) for about a week and then they disappeared. I would like to restore that function.
Text not recorded in call log
Hello Ubi100,
I am glad I found this thread. I have owned a GS6 edge for exactly 3 days just because of this problem. I am a "veteran" user of the galaxy s line and the GS6 is the first one that does not show text messages in the call log. My GS6 edge running 5.1.1 did not show at any time sms in call log. I have also installed 3rd party apps for call log and it did not help. The GS4 and GS5 running Lolipop have no issue with this and they show text messages in call log , so I don't think that the software version is the problem. So please tell me that you found a way to fix this issue.
Thanks

Hi Forum_user,
Alas to no avail. I have spent a great deal of time online looking for the solution to this problem. I have never found anyone who has a direct answer to this exact situation. I have followed everyone's general suggestions but still no luck. No record of text messages in the call log.
The only thing that I can guess is that my phone was delivered with Lollipop 5.0.2 on it. With that version, the text messages showed in the call log. When I upgraded to Lollipop 5.1.1, the text messages disappeared from the log.
I would appreciate it if you could let me know if you find anything else out.
Thanks,

Same problem. I think it is extremely convenient to hva both the cal and the SMS log in one list. I often answer calls with a SMS and vice versa. With a combined list as it was before I had god control whom I answered and whom not. If somebody has a solution to the problem I would be thankful.
Did anybody ever find a way to fix this? I'm dealing with the same thing on my gs6. It showed for about a week in the call log and now it doesn't. And I can't find anything online about what to do.
Yes. I too am a long time user of the galaxy series. Until the s5 the call log and message log was unified. Which does not seem to the case in s7. The new scheme is not convenient and is a feature downgrade in my view.
It's exactly the same on the S7, A royal pain & a massive step in the WRONG direction, even if they add it back in as 'activity log'
I use my S7 and miss the combined message/call log alot I stumbled in here seeking a solution. Hopefully a future upgrade will bring it back!
