I don't know how confusing was the title but I have a problem.
When Im talking on the phone, and someone else calls, the call that Im currently in, is muted.
So if Im on the phone with my dad, and my mom calls while I speak with my dad, then I can't hear my dad and he can't hear me either. Even if Im the other person hangs up, the sound doesn't resume. So I need to call my dad again. Those were all example yes?
My phone is not rooted, never been modified since I got it out of the box and also, I never had this problem before.
What can I do?
What apps have you installed and what settings have you changed? How come you haven't rooted it?

Its my grandad's phone. He doesn't need a rooted phone, haha...
I highly doubt he installed or changed anything since he doesn't understand most of the things that the phone offers. Either from making calls, Skype and emails, he doesn't really do anything else...
Bkup you're /his contacts with google and flash stock with Odin. I guess you know how to do this. And I guess as its you're granddaddy phone and nandroid and rooting and all that won't really matter.

Seems that all of a sudden I can no longer receive calls. I thought it was just certain people since I had received calls before but now the people who were successful in the past can't get through any more. It's either just dead or says call not allowed from this device or those beeps you get when the recording says "if you'd like to make a call...".
I'm wondering if I inadvertently did something to cause this. I'm totally new to smartphones, android and sense. I've gone through settings that I know I went into and I can't find anything. I rebooted phone, leaving it off for a few minutes, still no incoming calls. I can call out though, even before reboot. Have not done any temp rooting since I'm still reading up on all that stuff and don't have a grasp on it yet.
I did install some apps but this seems to have started without connection to that although I can't be certain. I can gather a list of them if needed.
I'm thinking of doing a factory reset. I've backed up all the pics and videos I took over thanksgiving to my computer and I believe there's only one app that wasn't free that I got from the Amazon app store. Will all my contacts stay if I do a factory reset? I still have my old phone so I suppose I could get Verizon to transfer them over again, or maybe I can get them off my car since I just put them on there.
Oh!!! Would it have anything to do with me having set it up to use in my car? I was sending out music via bluetooth so I had to set it up as a "portable player" in my car. Maybe I changed something in the phone... I can't really remember and I'm not finding any settings in the music app or in the main settings.
Anybody know if there's something I might have done? Am I safe to do a factory reset?
Edit: One other thing I did to the phone was add a "Music" folder on the external sd and put in a bunch of music. I couldn't find how to do this in the manual or via google so I just hooked it up to my computer and tried that and it worked as far as listening to music. Doubt it would affect phone but wanted to be complete in this post.
Installing apps and making music folders should in no way affect your ability to receive phone calls. Sounds like you need to call Verizon.

Agreed, before you go resetting anything call *611 from your handset or whatever Verizon's 800 number is and see if they screwed something up(more than likely)

Yeah, I called earlier but I don't have another phone to call from so I'll have to go down there. I made her promise they would compensate me for my time since I complained about switching from AT&T and having problems already.
Hahahaha.... I inadvertently turned on call forwarding and it was forwarding to number 9. I know exactly how I accidentally did it too. I was clearing out my old AT&T contacts which had come over and they all start with *. I wanted to be certain they were not Verizon numbers so I dialed each one first and one of them activated the forwarding. I didn't seem to get any notification of it being turned on that I noticed.
Needless to say I thanked the guy at Verizon for finding out what it was and did NOT ask for any compensation.
Glad you got it all figured out I would have been in panic mode!
I almost did that when he started talking about me having to return it to Amazon for a replacement. I immediately started thinking no! I have red buttons! My phone doesn't overheat or reboot on its own! What if I get a bad one. Plus they're on backorder there! I need a phone, my old one is AT&T!! LOL.
Does anyone else have this issue? I do a lot of texting, and if I send a message while I get an incoming call, I get an error message up top that says "Message not sent" and my phone keeps vibrating in the same manner it would if I'm getting a call in.
It never gives me the option to pick up the call, nor does it show up in call history. The people calling never leave voicemails either so I feel like an a** not calling back since I don't know who the heck it is. I'm on the stock rom on the latest HTC OTA update.
Anyone else have the same issue? Any fix for it? It's frustrating me beyond belief..

If your rooted you may have a dirty flash or kernel flash... If not then no I never had this issue....
Also it could be a 3rd party app doing it to you.... The market does have some bad apps..... Tho you have to give it permission when you install a app that could mess with things if it needs some crazy permisson that it isn't suppose to need..
I'm on the stock rom, using the latest version of Handscent although I doubt that's what's causing it since so many others use it without any issue. Don't know what else to try really :\

I would ditch the handscent thing to make sure it wasn't causing issues..
So you arn't rooted?
Yeah I'm on 2.17.651.5, but it's been happening ever since I got my phone :\
I'm not rooted, never done anything like that to my phone.
Hi all,
i need some help!
As title shown, my atrix no voice on call, means that he/she cant hear my voice, totally silent. previously at least still got hear very very light voice(can be say barely undetectable), but now totally no voice at all.
i was thinking maybe i flash somethings to caused it, so i flash sbf,kernel,radio.... all cant fix it, and still no voice.
i did backup before this issue, so when i try to restore, it still same....
So any 1 can give me a clue what should i do?
NOTE:Camera or voice recording are able to record voice..........
Hey guys,
I have the note 2. I am running stock but I rooted it using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118348
Everything seemed fine until I realized sometimes when I make calls the call goes through but I can't hear them. I hang up and call back and then I hear them. I know my calls went through because they asked what happened.
Has anyone experienced this issue or have any suggestions for me?
Thanks
Data works on my phone and I can receive texts, i just can't send texts or make phone calls. I tried installing a new ROM to see if that was it, but it did not fix. It started while i was on the phone with someone yesterday out of nowhere and it still doesn't work.
Hmm, no calls.. That sounds more like a bigdaddy619 question.
You may want to RUU back to stock and see if it works. But I would wait for another opinion before doing that.
Thanks man, I appreciate you trying to help with both my problem =D
