hello guys how are you??

first of all, im from Brazil, so sorry for any mistakes on english :D

well im having some troubles on my samsung galaxy s5... when some people calls me (like my mom and dad, for example), it shows my own number calling me....i guess it started to happen after a while, when i rooted the phone (but not instantly).
This happens especially when people calls me from a mobile phone

I tried to update to 5.0 rom android, but still the same problem...i even did a factory reset and also it shows my own number calling, when my mom calls me and other people.

Does anyone knows how to fix this problem????

Are you using any of the following:

Google Voice
A forwarding service
A VPN

Is this cellular or wifi calling?

You're probably not, if you don't know about them - you'd have had to set them up.

I don't know how it's done in Brasil, but if your carrier has a store, bring the phone there and explain the problem. It's possible that it's something messed up on their end (so they're sending your number as the caller ID).

BTW, your English is FAR superior to my Portuguese (which is so bad that "non-existant" would be better) , so don't apologize (I know a single pronunciation difference between Portuguese and English - and that's my entire knowledge of your language). I count a total of 2 errors (one of them twice) in everything you posted, and I had to look for them - I understood you perfectly (and Assassin Droid probably did too) the first time I read your posts. I've seen kids born in the US write MUCH worse English.
