I'm not aware of any setting that will do that... have you tried putting your simcard in a different phone? If it does the same thing with a different phone, then it is definitely a service provider issue.
Edit: seems like the right section to me

Cannot make or recieve calls

Hey guys, 1st post so don't be tooo harsh!
Did a search on this but couldn't find anything, my problem:
When i try to make a call it goes quiet then eventually it just cuts off with 2 beeps, i cannot recieve calls either. it is connected to the network (t-mobile) and i have coverage.
i did install tweeks form this forum, i've uninstalled them and done the "clear memory" function but still no joy.
T-mobile been messing me around about sending a replacement so just wanna see if there is a simple fix, it is still under warranty but would have to wait for t-mobile to have it back in stock, which i dont really want to do.
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks
Kaled
Only time I have seen this (and I see it daily atleast on 2-3 phones a day!) is when a phone is barred/reported lost or stolen
But from the sounds of it, you got it on contract so I doubt thats the case!

???my phone is calling my phone???

Ok guys.....I can't be the only one this has happened to. For the last week I have been getting somewhat random calls and caller id shows its my number. There are times when I happens right around a phone call but the phone has had root for 6 months...multiple roms flashed and never an issue till now. Running crc1 with cyan 4.0.4 build...themed with community hero. This is the second post about this....does someone know what's happening or how to fix it...thanks
its called someone is spoofing you with a spoof app of some sort heres a website about what its about.
basically youre being pranked
Here's the website
I appeciate the insight but I have that app and as far as I am aware you can't call a number with the same number.....it won't allow it. So I'm pretty sure that's not it.
Umm i dont think you understand completely.
Ok ....now I know its the phone ....noticed a pattern...it seems to do it right after someone calls but only rings a couple of times. And I'm not sure what it is I don't understand.

Say Dave doesn't like Jay and wants to prank call him.
He uses SpoofApp or the equivilant service to call him.
To use this service all you need to do is enter the number you would like to call and the number that you would like to show up on the recievers callerID.
Jay recieves a call from the number that Dave put in.
It could be just about any number and the only way that I know of for sure to tell who it is that's calling you is TrapCall.
Hope that clears it up.
Ya I hear you on that and I have used it......I'm not stupid. This is a phone issue. The calls are comming after a voicemail is left. What could the problem be. I'm not trying to be a jerk but the obivious solution is not allways the right one. Could someone give me an idea.
I agree with you oneyoungjay I have that app to and you can't put the number to call and the number to display at the same time. It will not allow it. I use the app pretty often.
My iPhone used to do this to me on t-mobile a few months ago, just like voicemails sticking, i solved it by leaving myself a voicemail. (and its actually a carrier issue, i believe)
try changing voicemail client to phonefusion for example. If its a carrier issue that should bypass it if not sorry...
Thanks .....ill try that a let you know if it worked.

SMS Timestamp Help

Hey Everyone,
I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.
The issue I have (it's on ALL of my WM phones) and it's an issue with my provider. Anytime I am on 3G, the timestamp of my received SMS' are exactly one hour behind. So if my phone drops to EDGE or GPRS, my received SMS' timestamps are correct. My provider, no matter how much I complain (this used to even happen with a WM device I bought from them!) they always say they will do something about it yet they never have. And a FYI for anyone that is going to recommend me using the timestamp cab fix, that does not solve this problem.
Now the only workaround I've been doing for a the longest time is forcing all my phones onto 3G however there are spots which have no 3G so if I'm in the middle of a phone call, my call drops or I don't get any SMS', etc.
I've gotten sick of the dropped calls (I'm mostly in my basement which gets 3G only in certain parts of it) so I've been using my backup iPhone 3G (which doesn't have this problem, go figure) until I can find a registry tweak or something to force my Blackstone to use the phone's actual time vs my providers SMS timestamp.
Is there anyone that can give me any place to start looking in the registry that I can play around with the figure it out?
Thanks in advance for everyone for their help. I love this community!

Strange problem (can't be called)

Well as the titel says,
since about 1 week I'm facing the problem that i can't receive calls when my phone is locked.
I found a similar thread which is saying thats because of a signal-loss. The strange thing is, that i do have full signal!
If my phone isn't locked all is fine and i get calls, it's only when it's locked. If somebody is trying to call me, only mailbox is answering and just in time i get a sms that there are missed calls.
Does somebody else have this problem, or an idea how to fix this?
btw. I'm on faria rom v5.1. and don't rly want to chance the rom, as I'm pretty happy with this one (except this problem)...
Thanks for your help in advance
cheers, Rob
I have similar problem. No only can't be called, also i can't place calls. It is a strange situation because after restart i have no network. After 2 or 3 restarts i have network. I can't find a solution yet. I sent back to service my phone under warranty and they told me that the situation described by me is not confirmed. In service phone is working normally.
