Phone calls people by itself

[Quiet Doc]

Same problem on my Samsung Note3. Uninstall Skype app and remove your mobile number from your Skype caller ID profile. Worked for me.

No. Did you had headphone plugged in? Coz ther is an new virus that can send radio waves to command a phone from pretty far... i had this on the train. Surfed to malware sites from itselve... stupid viruses

The last week or so my phone keeps calling people on its own and has been acting weird anyone else have this problem? I have had this phone for about a month and have had no problems until this past week.

My Galaxy Edge S6 does this at least once a day, it also takes screen shots by itself. Usually when it is in my pocket and I'm listening to music on my headphones.

I have gestures and all the call back type features disabled, it's not even calling the last contact viewed or anything like that.

It even dialled my ex-wife once!

What with the stupid volume warning bug and inability to stop reminders repeating, I'm so regretting buying an Android phone.

Same thing happened to me in IPhone I was not near it my home phone rung and I went to answer it I missed the call but it was my mobile number. Today it did not ring but I saw it on the " missed" callsv! weird!!

I have the galaxy 7 and I cannot find where you guys are finding the motion in settings? I have always had an Iphone and tried this one since it has such a good camera. Regretting it already. If I am texting someone sometimes it calls them.

Yes this happens to me all the time, even when the phone is locked. Also Facebook Messenger Phone calls & messages/likd I did not write or paste being sent to multiple people inside my Messenger app.

I have been having this exact problem with my Note 4. Actually today my phone called my wife while the phone was completely unattended and charging. I am replying to this because I was looking for someone who was having the same issues.

I don't have the problem of it calling people by itself, but if I have the camera open, it takes pictures by itself. I'll just be standing there with the camera open and it snaps random pictures without my touching any buttons or saying "cheese" or "smile."

My Note 5 just did this yesterday. I was going to take a picture and I was letting it focus and it just took a picture by itself. I thought maybe I had accidentally touched it or something.

Yes, I have an Apple IPhone6. I had two Droids and it did the same thing, so I changed to Apple. My cell service is Verizon, it actually happened this morning at 4:48 a.m., when I was dead asleep. Plus I have a code that I have to enter to make calls. I have been dealing with Verizon Wireless for almost a year about this problem, calls dropping, calls going straight to voicemail without ringing, calls that are missed and I am sitting right in front of the phone and it doesn't ring nor does it light up. Verizon states it is an Apple problem, so I need to to go the Apple store, but it happened with the Droid also, I tried to explain this to Verizon but you know per Verizon "the phone does not call other people without me calling them". So, if you have Verizon, the CEO's name is Lowell McAdam and his email is: lowell.mcadam@verizon.com, I would write him and let him know. I know Mr. McAdam's hates getting emails from me, because I am constantly sending him emails about my Verizon issues.

My phone has done the same. We were sitting outside and my bf's phone started ringing. It was a call from me but my phone was in the house on charge. I locked it & left it to charge. So we walked in to check my phone & it showed I was in an active call w bf. I have to push 3 diff buttons to even make this call on top of unlocking phone first. Kinda freaked me out bc it was only the 2 of us & nowhere near my phone. I could only wonder if it has something to do with a little Bluetooth speaker we alternatively connect to. Bf was connected at the time. I turned Bluetooth off. We only use it for IHeart Radio. Not sure.

I had it yesterday, my phone, called to my friend's wife , it dialed the whole number, she is not in my contacts list.
I have never spoken with her by my cell, it is very odd.
I suspect someone is plying with me since it is not accidental, it dialed to someone I know but is not in my contacts.
if someone want to show something that is what he does, since if she was in my contacts I probably would think i dialed somehow by mistake, but this is really odd.

I suspect a suspicious app installed... I had Androids, Windows Mobile and even iPhone and I never experienced that issue. The only possibility is that you installed something, or the phone have a virus or malware. If I was you I will try to do a backup and reset the phone.

I believe you need to turn off direct call. For me it's in the motion and gestures section of the settings menu.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Ghost Calling, with previous and latest 6.0.1 software.

Put my phone on charge at 7pm and 3:23am it rang my wife's phone. The house is silent and have not any apps running.

Vodafone and Samsung said never heard of it.

So I had to do a Hard factory reset and loaded from scratch without a backup in-case was corrupt.

Same thing happened again, while sitting on my desk at work when not charging and not touching the phone, screen turned on and randomly dialled someone.

Neither contact had called me, nor them for many calls in the log.

Now Samsung have the phone.......

Read some of these comments, and had to read the names as I thought they were my words.

 

[Naessean]

Wow the same thing with my S6 and S7. Exact regards missing calls, Im in Australia on Vodafone so bizarre the same.

 

[Ann Steward]

Thanks for the help. This has been driving me nuts. Turned off motion settings, and problem is solved!!

My wife is also having this annoying problem. Her phone calls persons from her call list at random. She being a very senior person in the government, the other fellow immediately responds only to hear the background noises. Then they call back to enquire why boss called him/her. This becomes very embarrassing when it happens twice or thrice a day. She has changed her phone three times already and the new one is only three weeks old.This happens only with smart phone hand sets . Any suggestions would be thankfully acknowledged.
