Phone answering?

My phone makes me press one to answer calls. Does anyone know how I can change that?

dont know if wxcolon will chime in again, but you need to go to your google voice account www.google.com/voice and in your setting you need to disable that option about pressing "1" to answer it has to do with screening calls before you want to answer.
It has nothing to do with what rom you are on, it is a google voice thing.
From the googlevoice site:
Call Screening Call screening lets you know who's calling your Google number before you accept the call. It also allows you options on how to handle your calls so that you can choose to accept it, send the caller to voicemail and ListenInTM, or record the call.
There are two ways we screen your callers:
We'll show you their Caller ID on your Caller ID display.
As soon as you pick up your phone, we'll announce your callers to you. We've added this second level of screening ('audio' Caller ID), because Caller ID isn't particularly useful for blocked and unknown names and numbers. Once we announce your caller (for example, 'Call from Jack Johnson'), we give you four ways to handle the call:
Accept it (press 1)
Send it to voicemail (press 2)
ListenInTM on the voicemail (press 2 and stay on the line)
Accept and record the call (press 1 then 4)

Yup. Done it myself. One thing that will prevent that is if you don't use sprint "sign up option" that they have with Google Voice, just sign up the other way with your number. You'll actually get more options that way as well.

Stupid google voice!

So I apparently signed in to google voice (used it long ago for an aosp ROM) and I now I get duplicate texts. I've signed out of the app....didn't help. I also went to the google voice page on my desktop and into settings, phone, and tried to unselect my number but it says I have to have at least one forwarding number.
Does anyone know how to turn this off? And why the hell do they make it so difficult to not use their product???

Turn off texts in the Google Voice settings.

Under what tab in settings? I can't find an option anywhere. I only see a box to check for a text notification for new voicemail. This box is already unchecked though.

open the google voice app on your phone go to settings>sync and notifications> receive text messages and select also via messaging app
for me when i have google voice ticked it goes to both so i hope this works for u

Thanks guys.I also had an app called "cold shoulder" that was giving me multiple texts.

[Q] CM9 Alpha 4 Goolge Voice Question

I'm trying to get google voice to screen my calls but I can't seem to find a setting that will change the behavior on how calls are answered. When a calls comes in the lock screen pops and I swype to the right and the call is answered. I'm looking to be able to screen the call while voice mail is activated. I'm pretty sure all the settings are correct on/in google voice. Am I missing the options I need to select on the phone or is this a product of still being in alpha?
Thanks for your response upfront!

Have you tried the settings on pc?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Exactly. You have to log in on a PC and all the settings are there. You cannot change that from the app.

The settings on the pc are correct. It's the behavior of answering calls on this rom. When a call comes in it wants me to swipe right to answer, up to send text or left to ignore. I want to be able to see the incoming call without answering it and be able to hear Google voice announce the caller and then select the behavior I.e listen while the voice mail is being made.

When you select it to announce calls on your PC then when you slide to answer it will play the announcement and tell you to select 1 to answer.

OK. Seemed like it was just going straight into the call. Thanks so much for the help all!

Fear of apple has made Samsung remove the Google search function that can search on contacts on the phone. However you can reinstall it yourself. Do a search for. 'universal Google search.'
The universal Google Voice can call and text as well as do lots of other things.
If you mean the Samsung S-Voice it can dial and text with the universal goggle search.
Also you install Google Now but again it can't directly text or call but can bring up the contact with the right app.

I have to correct myself on my last post. Google Now can do mail, phone calls and texts. I was using the wrong word or phrase. I would say text so-and-so and it would give me a list of the person's contact numbers. text or send text both work the same. It can invoke the gmail program simarly.
Saying dial or call so-and so work number makes it call out. You can also state a numeric number.
It seems to not have some rather short attention span for body of the messages and unless you can get it in to the initial search it doesn't ask you what you want to send, which S-Voice does.

To get Google voice to work you must first download it from the play store. Then run it. It will tell you that it can't change your forward numbers. The go on your browser and goto the Google voice website (make sure you hit menu and request desktop site). On the site look for settings. (Somewhere in the top right. Then choose to set up your phone. Choose your carrier and it will give you a number to call. That number will change your forwarding numbers for you. Then in the voice app change settings to show voicemail in call log.

Google Voice

Anyone having issues setting up Google voice? It says it's on but calls do not get handled correctly. They do not go to Google voice for playback and go to normal voice mail.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk

Yes, had the same issue. The solution was to into google voice on your computer. Choose Setttings (Gear shaped icon), there you should see your phone number as a registered phone...click the activate voicemail link and follow the instructions exactly.

Yeah. You may need to deactivate and then reactivate it. That's what I had to do.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Or change your call forwarding to your Google voice number. That's all it does really

Thanks for the help. I had gone into pc settings but it was still active. Had thought to deactivate and redo. Other option look good to. I'll give them try.
Thx to all.

Once I went to voice.google.com and got the dialer code from the settings, everything worked perfectly. :victory:

I had to do this every time I installed a new rom on my old phone..
need to dial *004*1<google voice 10 digit number without 1># and hit the dial button. runs the code and makes the change.

GV is still not working for me. I deactivated and reactivated, but to no avail. Never had this issue with GNex. Any help/suggestions will be appreciated.

THANKS!!! saved my life!

That isn't only issue with google voice. If you set it to use google voice for all calls, then it adds strange random proxy numbers into your call log, rather than the number you called. Kinda defeats the purpose of having a call log.

i had this very same issue and was irked. i found out you need to
1 - go into call setting and forwarding option then make sure always forward is disabled, then the other 3 below links to your gv number.
2 - go into goolge voice setting on desktop. setting, edit mobile, show advance setting, forwarding option , activate.
PS - you might have to do step 2 before step 1. or it might not matter.
hope that helps.
