I keep getting Unknown Caller on Known Callers when they call Google Voice. Anybody else experience this and/or know of a solution? Only happens on Froyo.
Yup, I've had the same issue. I didn't know it was Google Voice though.

The people calling me only know my Google number. That's how I know its gotta be GVoice. Wonder what the problem is? Maybe a but til the official froyo release...(fingers crossed)
Ah ok. No one knows my GV number, so I can't tell if they're calling that or my regular number. But it is annoying, that's for sure.
No problems with GV and caller ID. Been running the Pre-Froyo since it came out. Test by calling phone and then calling GV number. If it continues, try rebooting phone. If all else fails, wipe and flash again.

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.
Anybody having this problem or have experienced it? If you have or know of a solution, could you help me out? Thanks.
All calls made to my GV goes straight to Voicemail. Not a single ring on the phone.
Oh, one weird thing is that I used to have my wife's number on GV as a secondary and weirdly all calls went to her number. I have since taken it off. could this be a clue?
I would try to look in your GV "settings. Check under "calls" tab and groups tab. Good luck
I bet 'do not disturb' is enabled
Yeah...checked all the settings...they all look good. 'Do Not Disturb' is unchecked. I did a bit of searching today...and it seems to be a GVoice bug.
WTF?!?! What the point of using it then? LOL.
go to google voice on pc and set your phone number to it.. it could be still set on your Wifes, also try to make call with it then try to call it and see if that will help out

Cool...I actually haven't made a call with it in a while...(maybe that's why...it's butt-hurt about me not using it to make calls?...LoL). My wife's number has been deleted off of it since I've been having this problem, but I'll try to make a call with it and see if that will make it work.
Thanks for the tips.
Okay. I had google voice for international calls only. I figured that it was for out going calls only. I guess that because of that setting the calls weren't getting through? I understood it as all calls would come through if my google voice number was called...hmmm...guess they should fix that
Since there is no forum for "Moto G" I'm posting my question here...
All calls from unsaved number only show "Unknown" not even the number of the caller, I badly need a fix for this. I'm on stock ROM and kernel, untouched. I did installed Truecaller and thought that might be causing it, but uninstalling it didn't help.
Does anyone else have the same problem? Any fix for it?
Thanks

For future reference the moto g forum does exist : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g
As for your problem, is this also the case when you check the call log? Or only while the call is taking place
No, just incoming calls...they show as "unknown" and no number in the call log as well.
What carrier are you on? I seem to remember reading somewhere (may not have been here) that a Canadian carrier was charging for Caller ID and shows all calls as unknown even if they are saved in your phone.

If you're with Verizon, try this. Login to your account on Verizon's website. Look for the option to change the features of your phone. It should say that Caller ID is ACTIVE for your account. TURN IT OFF. Wait a bit and then try some test calls. Then, go to the website and turn Caller ID BACK ON. Wait a bit and then try some test calls.
This MAY fix your issue. Even if you're not with Verizon, it's possible this could resolve your issue as well if you try this with your current carrier.
Good luck!
:good:
Even I m facing the same problem. The caller I'd used to display with my Samsung phone but now it is not being displayed with moto g 3rd generation. How should I get it fixed
I've experienced a couple of problems recently and I'm not sure if it's a bug or something they changed with the last update. I'm on 4.4.2 with Sprint.
Previously, when I tried to call a business (i.e. "Call Pizza Hut"), it would find it via Google Now and make the call. Recently, I've noticed that if the business is not listed in my contacts, it will try to call one of my contacts.
Also, if there's a contact with more than one phone number, it used to give you a prompt to confirm whichever number you're trying to call. Now, it just calls the default number.
Has anyone else noticed this and do you know of a fix?

Unfortunately, I have the same exact issue on Republic Wireless (Sprint MVNO) 4.4.2 and haven't found a solution....
Strangely, the issue seems to come and go. Additionally, the voice recognition is WAYYY off....it will try to call a contact that doesn't even sound like who I'm trying to call.
My solution is to instead, turn the screen on, then hit the microphone icon (top right corner). From there if you say "Call Pizza Hut", it seems to work 100% of the time.
I agree that the issue is quite irritating. Hopefully a future update to Touchless Controls fixes this.
It will be interesting to see if those on later android versions also experience the same issue...
Are you also experiencing the 2nd problem?
Voice recognition doesn't seem to be an issue for me.

Nope, just confirmed -- tried to call a contact with 2 numbers in phonebook (cell & home) and the phone responded:
"I found two matches. Say the name after you hear the one you want to call. 'Person' home. 'Person' cell."

Yea, that's what mine used to do. Now it just calls the top number.
I'm on Sprint, I have a Nexus 6 and my wife a Note 4. Over the past week or two I've had an issue where my wife can call me, and immediately after answering, the call will end. This has happened with her calling from her cell phone and her office phone, both of which are attached to her contact. I can call out with no problem, and I've tested calling my phone from different numbers and had no problem. No clue whats going on.
Internet searches have come up dry. Any ideas?
EDIT: Oh, forgot to mention that I'm rooted and running the latest Chroma (5/3/15 r2) and franco combo.

I think you just don't wanna talk to your wife =P hahaha jk! sorry I couldn't resist.
This is happening to me too. Only with my fiancé. We both have N6's on sprint, and every time she calls me when I answer it immediately hangs up. It never happens when I call her though.

Went online and disconnected my number from Google Voice, and that *seems* to have done the trick.
Maybe its a feature

Having this too. I don't want to remove Google Voice integration though. Any other thoughts? It's my wife's phone also. Funny how it is all our wives/girlfriends and no one else.
Update (6/29): Maybe this is fixed now as I seem to be able to answer my wife's incoming call the past few times now.
