HEllo, I have another problem.
Whenever I hold down the search button and say "Call ____________" and it's a business that i do not have in my phone, it adds "+1" before the area code. I have a droid incredible, btw. on verizon (obviously, hehe).
i'll say "call mcdonald's" and it'll dial "+1610xxxxxxx"
However, because it adds this "+1", it cannot dial, and a verizon voice comes on and says something like,
"welcome to Verizon wireless. your call cannot be completed as dialed. please check the number and dial again. announcement 4 switch 8-4"
this is a pretty big problem, cuz i have to memorize the number and retype it and then dial it. which is like, the opposite of what i should be doing. and it's kind of hard to show off the cool Voice Search feature on your phone if you can't dial all the time...
any suggestions?
also, i spoke w/ someone from htc customer service, and he says that all of their htc devices add a "+1" to their calls, too...
is this a htc problem?
Are you running a Z rom?
Those are Europe-exclusive, so it'll add the 1 for the international call.
I think.

Yep, this shouldn't be a problem with a sock Incredible or any of the Inc or Evo based ROMs. The only time I've encountered it is when using a Z Rom, and then only when I enabled sync with htcsense.com.
no, i'm running stock android and sense, i have not rooted.
maybe it's because i have htc syncing on?
i only have facebook for htc sense on... news stocks... google syncing...
do you guys have this problem? on your incredibles, what happens if you hold down your Magnifying Glass (search) and say "Call McDonald's" ?
Hello, I just noticed something ...
in Google Voice, my voicemail service, I notice that any number that is NOT a contact is displayed w/ a "+1" in front of it. Could this be related to Google Voice?
i don't have a Google Voice number, though.
Just checked my GVoice.
All (US) numbers have a 1 in front, even if I didn't add them.
hm... thanks, but why the +1...
That's the code for the country.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
the problem is that not every number has a country code. the ones that do, and they have a +1, when i hit redial, the call cannot be completed. i tried to disable assisted dialing, but that doesn't fix anything. any other ideas?
i'm beginning to feel like the problem is w/ Sense... when you root your Incredible, are you still running Sense? I think it's something to do w/ stock sense. we'll keep seeeing...
I have this problem with CM 7 as well.
I have a feeling it's a google voice issue... but who knows.
Anyone found a solution ?

I want to have my voicemail just use a standard greeting listing my phone number. Something like all the other carriers have... "You have reached the voice mailbox of 555-555-5555, at the tone please leave a message..."
I can't find any way to do this from the Evo. The voicemail system doesn't seem to offer this as an option but rather forces you to speak a greeting and name.
I called Sprint and the girl seemed confused and thought I should be able to but was of no help.
Can I set me greeting this way?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Mine has been that way since I joined Sprint, I never added a personal greeting.
Go to your voicemail, choose to administer your voicemail, enter 3, then 5, just keep following the directions to use the standard greetings, basically it will be 3 and then 5 again.
HTH
no luck. still no option for a standard greeting. I got it down to just my recorded name but thats all i can find.

When it ask for your name......Dont speak
It will have callers at the edge of their seats
I had the same problem. It really bugged me. But then I figured it out. Just go back in and delete your vmail recording and it will default to the automated one.
The voicemail that your accessing on your evo is no different than any other voicemail besides the VVM portion. theres an option, your not trying hard enough, read your manual.

Sprint dialed into my voicemail with me and couldn't figure it out either. She suggested that I speak my number to mimic the default greeting... The same thing happened to me when I had the Hero.

Thanks. Deleting everything worked.
There is no option during setup or in the menus and I believe during initial setup the problem is that it doesn't accept no for an answer when asking you to record your name and greeting.
Thanks again.

I believe the problem is on Sprint+Android devices
I believe the problem with the vm greeting has something to do with
Sprints Android habdsets. My Tour would greet callers with my # but my
Hero would force me to record a greeting. My Touch Pro2 greeted callers
With my # but now my EVO insists I record a geeeting.
I am using CM7 nighties and ever sense moving to AOSP I have noticed that all of my Facebook contacts that are synced with my phone come over with the "+1" prefix. When I go to make a call to one of them I am told that i don have a sufficient balance on my account to make this call. I am using Google Voice but this issue was around before I started using that. While using a stock Sense based ROM I don't have this issue it just drops the prefix and makes the call. I love CM& and AOSP and really want to continue using them but its getting old having to edit every number before i call it.
Have you tried turning google voice to only make international calls? Check the settings in the app.
Google Voice is what is telling me that I don't have a sufficient balance. Before I had Google Voice it would say that it was not able to place the call.

Hmmm you could try going to google.com/voice and changing your GV number linked to your phone. Have you ported your sprint # into google voice? I use two separate numbers, 1 sprint # and my GV has a seperate #. If you try that make sure you go back to call settings and select "voicemail number" and dial that little number that pops up to activate it again.
Or
Try going to all the numbers and removing the plus, google voice thinks you're calling long distance dude. I believe aosp roms don't like the +1 man you have to get that plus out lol.
Its a ROM issue. I was wondering if there was some setting or app that would take care of the issue.
I can't edit the numbers that are brought in by Facebook.

Ouch damn that sucks. It has to be aosp...ill do some research see what I come up with lol.
My last guess would be to try another dialer and use it over the stock cm7 one. Search market for "dialer one" or "go dialer".
Go dialer
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.jbapps.contact
Dialer one
http://market.android.com/details?id=kz.mek.DialerOne
I like go dialer but it is a no go. Still happens. This has to be in the rom some where.

try going to menu-settings-call-plus code dialing and untick "north American dialing" thats what finally worked for me.

The only temp solution i have found with MikG 1.x is to go into your contacts and unlink the Facebook contact, hit done, and then manually relink the Facebook contact. This workaround effectively got rid of the +1 dialing prefix on the majority of my contacts.

It seems like I'm getting calls from everyone except from my wife.
I am on a rooted/CM7.1.0/Droid Incredible and she is on a stock Incredible. We are both on the same Verizon plan.
When she calls, it rings 3 times for her and then to Voice mail. It never rings on my phone. I have checked
I have and use Google voice for voice mail but she is calling my Verizon number.
The "Send calls directly to voicemail" box wasn't checked. I have deleted her contact in my phone and my contact in her phone and it still goes straight to voice mail. I can call her and other people can call me.
Any ideas?

Dude, you would get so much money on ebay for that phone.
The only thing i could think of is mabey google voice thinks your wifes number is spam. If you go to google.com/voice and hit the gear icon on the top right, select settings and then the calls tab. Uncheck global spam filtering save the change and then see if that works.

that was unchecked
Update:
Formatted everything and "upgraded" to Pons CM7.2 Incredible builds (12192011).
All is working great.
Ha ha, you probably got hacked... Lol
Edit:
To clarify things, guys, he stated that he 'only uses google voice for voicemail'...
This means she is calling his Verizon phone number first... Which, he has something called 'conditional call forwarding' setup... So, even if google voice were set to block her, as spam, it would still have to dial his handset first... And actually ring(or be ignored).
To my knowledge, i haven't seen a way inside of Android to block callers...
Which is why i jokingly say, you got haxxed...
I bet if you flashed a clean install of cm7 again, it would work fine
If you long press the end call button while in a call, you are given the option to put that number on a black list. You could have done that without realizing
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
Nice, good catch..
That sounds like the most reasonable explanation so far

Thanks for pointing that out. My 1-year-old son might be the culprit.
Formatted everything so not sure, but good to know for the future.

OOPS
OOPs, I think I "accidently did that to mine just now. It 'll take me months to figure it out. Guys someone needs to post that to FB to get this golden secret out to rest of mankind!
Seems like certain roms have issues with Google Voice. I use Google Voice for my voice mail, and with certain roms, when I go to dial out from Google Voice, whether it be using my GV number or my native Verizon number, a +1 is appended to the phone number and I get an error stating the network is busy.
At the moment, I am using TSM Gingerbang Evolved and it works fine. I get the network issue with Virtuous Unity (is the name right?) and more recently with RunnyDroid. I like some of the features of these other ROMS but cant put my finger on what the common factor is that makes Google Voice cause problems with dialing.
I'd like any assistance at all on this.. I think I may have read elsewhere that there are issues with Sense 3.0 and up with Google Voice, but I cant seem to locate that article now.
Is there no way to properly use Google Voice with higher versions of Sense?
Thanks,
-myk
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Anybody? Are any other users experiencing the same issue? I read a few posts on random forums where some had the same problem, but no resolution other than trying a different ROM. Perhaps I should change my question..
What Sense-based ROMs have you guys used that still works great with Google Voice dialing out from a voicemail?
Seriously? I can't be the only one experiencing this. Anybody at all? Maybe I'm the only one who uses GV.
Sorry man, I don't use it. I read something about having to pay for voicemail using it one time and just stopped

You're not the only one having this issue. I'm experiencing the same problem as well but I just did the work around and edit the number i'm dialing out to delete the + from the number. It's a pain in the butt if you do it all the time but I normally just "send a text" to that number, edit the number, delete the +, copy and paste it into the phone app and dial out from there. A lot of extra steps but it works.
I'm sure someone will get around to figuring out why this is happening
Myk
This bothered me so much over the past few days I finally did some digging and I found a great workaround. It's actually an app on the market. It can edit any number you dial automatically to remove or add whatever it needs to.
Prefixer
By 253°Below
Run the app, Menu>Add Rule>Manual>Outgoing
You can label the title whatever you want.
Make sure the Rule is enabled
Under "When Number Matches" Type this in
\+?[0-9]{7,}
That tells it if a number is at least 7 digits long preceded by a + in the beginning.
During Days>Mon-Sun
From Time> 00:00
To Time> 23:59
Remove Characters
\+[1]
That's it. Try dialing a number from anywhere. Some of my facebook contacts automatically have a +1 in front of them and i'm now able to call without editing the number manually every single time.
THANK YOU!
That was driving me crazy...
thank you very much, this works like a charm and makes ROMs much more usable
Wonder why the devs of these ROMs don't include something like this, as you would think everyone has this problem. It may not be an issue with the built in phone call log, but definitely is if you use Google Voice.
thanks again
My google voice number no longer shows up on the caller id of the person I'm calling. When I text someone, it comes in as my gv number, but when I call, my sprint number shows up. My gv number is my business line and I need it to show when I call. I have searched for 2 days for a solution, and I spoke to sprint 3 times with no fix. Google customer support is non-existent, and I actually paid for my gv number. Please please please help...

Forgot to mention that this only started a few days ago, all of a sudden. I have the phone for 3 months without any problems using google voice and now this. I don't know what changed. I am on Calkulins 2.9.2 rom. It's possible it's related to Google play store being forced on us...
What do you guys think?
Dunno if I'm allowed to bump, but this is really important to me. Please help if you can.
Have you tried disabling google voice through the full website, and then following the procedure to enable it?

I did that three times over the last 4 days. It was working without any difficulties till this past Tuesday or Wednesday, not exactly sure.

If you call from the google voice app and not the phone app, what number does it show? It may be a sprint integration setting.

That is strange, somewhat impossible. I would try calling directly from the website and seeing what happens. I would say that you accidentally ported your number to google voice somehow, but it is still showing up right when you text.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I went searching on the google voice forum, there are many people with the same problem that started all of a sudden in the past week. It's obviously a big problem, although since Google has zero customer support who knows if or when they'll fix it.
