Random calling on Droid?

anyone else have the Droid call random people on your contacts? Man the other day it dialed someone I really didnt want to talk to. Does it every few days. Does anyone else have this issue?
 
This is the first time I'm hearing of this issue. Holy crap! Sounds like you have an app that's trying to make it onto the next "Apps Gone Wild" video.
 
I've had this happen to me a few times. One time I clearly selected my wife from my contacts and after a few rings my boss picks up, who is also a woman. Luckily I didn't say anything i shouldn't have. But I have also noticed when I look down that my phone is in the middle of a call, which could cause problems or atleast annoyances.
 
there is another thread on this somewhere.

After you end a call you end up on the call log screen, press HOME to get back to the default home screen then lock - that solves it. Some freaking bug i guess.
 
You are not alone, my first Droid would make random calls from my call log when I was ending a call. The only way to stop it was to jerk the battery. Just one of the reasons I returned it.
 
I have a problem with the speaker on the droide and when i make a call with my bluetooth i notice it takes a few seconds to hook up.
I only have the phone one week and I already have issues with it, i am thinking of giving it back to verizon, does any body these problems?
 
I also have had this problem randomly. In addition to it dialing someone different from the contact I selected, I have also seen erroneous missed calls in the call log. Not entries that should not have been there but the wrong contact information for a missed call.
 
my phone used to make random calls all the time, then i read about not call log prefs in another post. I downloaded it about a month ago and my phone has only made one call since.

you can set it up to automatically go back to the home screen after using the phone. totally seemed to fix my issue.
 
Yeah, I use that "not call log prefs" app as well. Never had a bad call since. After a call, it sends phone off the phone app, to your choice of a couple screens. I choose home.
 
its in the Apps market...I got it a couple months ago. Search for NOT CALL LOG and you should see it - Roger Lemon, Visicor Inc. is the developer.
 
Can't say I ever had this problem but I do have a habit of closing the phone app and locking after making a call. So that could explain it.
 
had this happen to me once, in the worst time... was headed to a bar with friends, doing some pre-drinking when i looked at my phone and noticed a call was in session with my gf.......


i told her earlier i was going to sleep.....



i dont know if thats worse or my phone deleting all my text meesaging threads every day!

I have had this happen to me as well. I noticed this happens only when I make a call through bluetooth through my Sync System in my car. After the call is over my phone will proceed to call the person back over and over until I turn bluetooth off. I just reset my phone back to factory, I will let you know if that fixed the issue.
 
I just bought my android last week. and noticed today it was calling random people on my contacts even while my phone was locked. How would this happen? just as another person here said, It wasn't people I even wanted to talk to.
 
Bringing up an old thread with the Galaxy Note 4.

Yet another person with this particular problem. Would attempt at calling someone and another person starts to be dialed. Would randomly not sit on the dialer for 10+ seconds before hanging up sometimes and then call someone else.
Have been using stock everything minus Nova Launcher. I usually have a Bluetooth connected as well, but I doubt that's the immediate problem.

Attempting to use Not Call Log Classic (Roger Lemon Apps)
 
Have downloaded, installed, and used the Not Call Log Classic app to no avail. Still randomly calls when sitting on the Favorites screen. My guess is there is some interference between the facial recognition software and the calling software. When the last call happened with the app installed I was looking away from the screen holding it at a ~60* at my chest area.
