Hi everyone and experts on these matters. This is my first post here! I'm a 65 y/o retired prospector with my first smartphone but it won't ring enough times before I can get to it, it rings 3 times and that's it? I noticed that under Settings, Phone notifications, Categories. Default and Incoming calls (make a sound) they are greyed out in the "on" position! This is confusing me! Can this be fixed at all? I can't find any support for Nokia phones or repair agencies for that matter. I'm living in Western Australia and the nearest repair place is in Indonesia? So I'm relying on you guys now. I took a screenshot of the phone but I can't find any way to upload it here. I just hope I've explained the problem properly?

If like me you find that by the time you've identified that it's your phone that's ringing, looked at the display to make sure it's not the boss and got it to your ear, it's helpfully transfered to voicemail... then it turns out you have two options rather than just one.
Turning voicemail off entirely isn't the only option. The friendly chaps at my local T-Mobile shop, after saying "how strange... that looks just like the interface on the Vario III but that's a Vario II", told me I just had to type in this gert long number:
**61*+44063[your_mobile_number_without_initial_zero]**30#
I'm not sure what all the sections do, but I suspect the 30 at the end is the time delay as my phone now rings for 30 seconds before going to voicemail. (If anyone can be arsed to check that, or to work out if the front bit can be made relevant to T-Mobile voicemail outside the UK, then please post the results.)
i just went to: phone/ menu/ options/ services/ call forwarding, then get setting and select forward after 30 seconds
Well if you want to do it that way, then sure...
(I guess I shouldn't have assumed the relevant setting would be in the section marked 'Voice Mail' should I)
hi friends
i baught imate jasjam yesterday, in the device information call duration is 17 hours incoming and 21 hours outgoing, seller told me he updated the rom from web therefore call duration timing has changed otherwise its a new mobile.
and now i have installed the latest rom 3.62, but call duration timing is same 17 hours incoming and 21 hours outgoing
i am really confused now whether to check it is a new mobile or a used?? can anybody tell me in detail pls, thanks alot in advance
My guess is that, this is not some thing to do with the rom. If you have another sim card (with different phone number) try to change the sim and see if you see this same call duration. I guess this is comming from your service provider. I may be wrong.
I never thought about it, but it could be possible that the call timer is linked to the sim. However, my inclination is that the phone is used. Maybe he kept the phone really well, or he bought a new casing before selling it.
in this case is simple, this device is used.
WM shows the information of all the calls independly the SIM card you use.
regards,
I thought it is relatively possible to reset the call timer!!! (although I don't know how) Possibly that your seller has forgotten and/or didn't expect you to be expert enough to check that...
This may be totally irrelevant to the thread, not sure where else to put it.
It started on 3/11/14, I got a phone call from an 813-408-???? number. A boston sounding man pretending to be from a local pizza joint, saying I ordered 3 pizzas and my card I gave was declined and needed a new card. I figured it was a scam to take my info because I (and no one in my household) had ever ordered from this place). The man sounded scripted, pre-recorded or perhaps a mobile app just messing with me. Anytime I spoke, his speaking stopped and it/he wouldn't answer me when I spoke. I hung up, after a few minutes, I called back. I didn't get an answer both times I called back, just a man's voicemail for his home business.
Later, I got a call from another 813-408-???? number, but different from the first. It was a man claiming I was messaging his girlfriend on Facebook. His responses also sounded scripted or like recordings from an app. I assumed it was another prank, so I said little and hungup. I immediately called the number back and the man sounded confused and swore he didn't call me.
I thought these calls were weird because my number is also an 813-408-????.
Later in the same day, I was playing xbox with a friend of mine. My phone rang from his number, but he swore he wasn't calling me. Just after that, his phone rang from my number, but my phone wasn't calling him.
The next day, 03/12/14, I got a call from the same friend. The phone showed his name and correct number (i have it memorized). I answered and it was a female voice, claiming I was talking to her boyfriend on Facebook. Her voice ALSO seeming scripted or recorded. My buddy wasn't even near his phone, he was playing softball and swore he wasn't doing anything.
Not sure what I need to do to get this to stop. Don't know if changing my number will help or not and would prefer not to do that.
If it matters: I am running Cyanogenmod 11, up-to-date nightly's. I've been on Cyanogenmod as long as it's been available for the Nexus 5. It's a black 16GB US model and i'm on AT&T. I've never had anything like this happen before.
Faster version: I got a weird call from an unknown number from a recording or app. A second weird call from a different number comes in, same weird recording conversation and scripting. Illegitimate calls to and from my phone occur. Illegitimate call from a friend's phone that he didn't send. I have no problem sending or receiving calls or texts, nothing else seems to be off. I'm on CM11 3/12/14 nightly.
Any ideas?
Do you have a common friend between you and your other friends? Somebody is messing with you. And must be close enough to know y'all numbers. It's very easy to spoof a number to make it seem like somebody else is calling.
Also take note that many area codes like 419 817 737 ect....will get all your info within 3 secs if its a hacker lol. There's a huge list online just Google it. Hope that helps out. If not then get Mr. Number. You can block all numbers and voicemails texts.....except your contacts list

I'm betting someone is playing a real crappy prank on you. A friend of mine showed me this app one time that would allow you to enter any "from" number of your choosing with a pre-recorded prank attached. Basically the app would prank call whoever you chose with the fake or made up number showing up in the caller ID. When the call comes in, it sounds super convincing, down to the voice of the guy who's threatening to kick your butt for messing with his girlfriend. What you don't know, is that app is also recording your voice responses so whoever is pranking you gets to hear a recording of the entire call, similar to a phone prank done by a radio station. I would just listen for the familiar details and just hang up when you realize its the prankster. They'll give up eventually and if they know you will probably come clean at some point.
It's not a prank. It's scammy phishing robo-calls. I get them infrequently. Typically the "you have won a free cruise" baloney. However the pizza call is another known angle. For me it's usually one of 3 numbers. A 1 877 number, a random US number and a number that is almost identical to my own phone number.
Just get a blocking app or don't answer the call if you don't recognise the number. If it is a valid call, the caller will leave you a voicemail detailing why they were legitimately calling you in the first place. The robocall will just disconnect once it hits your voicemail.
Sorry, I should update that the above was in regards to the pizza call. The Facebook call is a prank - just search "Don't Message My Girlfriend".
I'm in the UK but when I Skype my wife in LA its a local LA number. Freaked her first time. You got no idea where calls come from these days. I use a call block. Robot call centers after ambulance chasing buisness etc are big here. Not your phone, or rom and don't let it rent space in your head. Block n move on

If it's anything like the uk if you read the small print of your contact (especially if it's like a retail shop - carphone warehouse, phones4u etc over here) it actually says we will give your number out to these annoying marketing company's and there's nothing you can do about it if you want the contract!! (which is why their contacts are normally better than direct from the provider)

Well, I can tell the calls I received were all similar sounding in their responses, so I did hang up. I figured it was a prank app or something along those lines. I just ended up hanging up the call. I can block the numbers I have gotten, I'm just getting a lot of them.
I guess I just have to rely on a voicemail from a legitimate caller.
Thanks for all the insight.
Does anyone know how to stop the Pixel 3a from disconnecting outgoing calls after 5 rings? My mother recently changed her answering machine from turning on after 3 rings to 5 rings. So now when I call her and want to leave a message I'm not able to because after the 5th ring, the call disconnects. I tested my SIM card on my older Nexus 4 and I don't have this issue. My other family members and her friends can also get her answering machine from their phones after the 5th ring. So I ran another test. I called a local company that was closed today. I know they don't have an answering machine. And sure enough, after the 5th ring, the call disconnected. I put the SIM card into my Nexus 4 and called the same company. And the phone kept going even after the 20th ring.
I tried looking into my Phone settings but could not find an option to change this. It can't be my carrier because the SIM card in a different phone does not have this issue.
Can someone help me out with this?
Thank you.
So this is a weird situation. My wife and I both have a Galaxy S20 and go through T-Moblie. Just recently, my wife's phones starts to ring as if she is making a call on speakerphone but she wasn't even touching her phone.
After 3 or 4 rings, it clicks and stops. We've checked her call log and there is no record of an outgoing call.
We've restarted the phone. We've checked various app and settings but honestly have no idea what we're even looking for.
When we first got our phones, we notice that they don't make a notification sound for texts unless we set an individual ring tone per contact.
However, we've had these phones for 4 or so years and this just started less than a month ago. As far as my wife recalls, she hasn't had an update and one isn't available. Her last update was May 24, 2023.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
