Why does calling my wife's phone go straight to VoiceMail?

When using my Verizon HTC Thunderbolt running CyanogenMod to call my wife's Verizon HTC Incredible, also running CyanogenMod, it always goes straight to Voice Mail. I can call other Verizon phones with no issue and my wife can call me with no issue and my wife can receive calls from other Verizon lines with no issue and she can call me with no issue. Issue is only from my phone to hers. I called Verizon and they said it is not a network issue and suggested an installed application might be causing the issue. They suggested to put both phones into Safe Mode boot. I was able to do this for Incredible, but failed using the directions they provided for the Thunderbolt. They said after boot starts, hold down volume down key for boot process on Thunderbolt.
How can I debug this issue of my phone going straight to Voice Mail? What would cause just my phone to experience this issue? Any advise and suggestions would be appreciated.

Why is my phone vibrating incessantly during calls?
Yesterday, my phone started vibrating once every 15 seconds or so during phone calls. I'm running cyanogenmd 7 on HTC thunderbolt. I looked in settings and there is only option to vibrate every 45 seconds during outgoing calls and it is off. How can I get back the old behavior?

Can HTC Thunderbolt's LTE not be turned off?
I'm going to buy a Thunderbolt and I've heard that you can't turn LTE off on it. Is that true? If so, is there any workarounds for it?

I am running CyanogenMod 7 on my HTC Thunderbolt and somehow I inadvertently removed the function for the center button on my home screen between the phone and web browser icons. This middle button used to bring me to the drawer where every installed application is listed, not just the ones on my home screen.
How can I restore the middle button functionality to get access to applications in my drawer?

Will the HTC Thunderbolt be able to use AT&T's network?
I'm speaking from a hardware perspective. It supports the 850 and 1900 network bands that AT&T uses, but will it work? The phone is amazing, absolutely destroys the Inspire 4G (which is a complete joke in my opinion).

I am trying to use my white in ear iPhone/Apple headphones with my HTC Thunderbolt. I can hear, but the mic does not work with the thunderbolt. Any suggestions for a fix? A specific app or setting I should use?
For clarification. . . my headphones work fine with my Apple iPhone. But when plugged into my android phone, the mic does not work. A guy from BestBuy said, that Apple iPhones doe not work with Android devices. This seems odd (and likely incorrect). . . hence my post here.

It seems like key repeat lags--not picking up multiple quick keyboard strikes. Is this Android specific or Hardware specific?

On my iphone, the only touchscreen that I used up until the Thunderbolt, you can quickly type without worrying about your keystroke not being read by the phone has having striked twice.
I am interested to see if others have had a similar experience with their Android phones--being a little slow on the key repeat issue. Would this be something particular to a settings or just a UI convention?

How do I delete draft SMS text that keeps reappearing on my HTC Thunderbolt?

My question is essentially the same as that discussed here , but I have tried everything mentioned in the discussion there and none of it has solved my problem.
To briefly summarize the problem, every time I open a thread to send a text (SMS) message to my wife, the same fragment from a previous draft text I once prepared but did not at the time send re-appears in the text entry box as the beginning of my next reply. I have repeatedly deleted all drafts appearing under Menu/Draft (floppy icon). I have deleted the entire thread of prior texts with my wife and started a new thread, hoping to break the connection, only to have her send the first reply in the new thread, and find the fragment there again when I began to reply to her. I have tried just sending the fragment to my wife to "clear the pipes" (warning her that it wouldn't make sense but I was doing it to solve this problem). I have edited the fragment and kept one word of it mixed into an otherwise new message, hoping it would consider this draft to be completed and sent once and for all. You name it, I have tried it.
Please help!
My phone is a stock HTC Thunderbolt on Verizon. I previously had the Handcent SMS app installed but deleted it, and the problem is still occurring in the regular Android (or Sense, I am not sure which) messaging app.

How can I output video from my HTC Thunderbolt to a TV?
Could somebody please detail for me a system using which one can output video to a TV from an HTC Thunderbolt? It has no HDMI port so I'll (almost) certainly need an adapter, I know. I don't really need HD quality but at least 720p would be nice.

Something that has been extremely aggravating me recently is that my HTC Thunderbolt seems to be automatically killing the home app whenever it needs space in it's ram.
I notice that this happens when I do something processor intensive like downloading a new app. When I press the home button, it will just display a white screen that says "HTC" on it, and then go to the home and open up a toast saying "loading" just like when the phone first boots up.
At first, I thought it was some of my other apps that were causing it, such as "advanced task killer" and "juice defender ultimate", but I uninstalled Advanced Task Killer, and disabled Juice Defender, and it is still happening.
**Is there a way to stop this?**

Well, this is totally my fault. I had a little extra to drink last night and on a whim decided to upgrade the Cyan rom on my HTC Thunderbolt. There appeared a later version in my Rom Manager so I clicked the buttons, gave permissions and off it went... next thing I know, the phone does not get thru the white HTC screen.
Help? Can anyone provide a simple step-by-step?
Thank you kindly!

How do I get rid of the draft message that shows up when I try to respond to an SMS?
When I read a text and go to respond, for some reason there is 1/2 of a text that I sent a long time ago still in the reply text box and I have to erase it every time. How can I fix this?
