Tech activated short text on Phone.....is that an issue or could it cause problems?
Since You have to call to activate.

Has anyone tried this Program out on the Epic Touch?
Or is it only for the Epic?

I don't even know what Short Text is????
I think he's talking about short code SMS messages, maybe? The ones where you send a text to a less than seven digit number to say, vote on a radio station poll or update your Facebook status and so on.
If that's what you mean, no that's not bad. It's part of any cell phone. If you mean something else, then I have no clue.

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?

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.
With Sense, there was an option in Contacts to send that certain contact straight to voicemail. Is there not such an option with touchwiz?

I thought I was just being stupid and couldn't find it. It wasn't a Sense feature... its a feature of Android itself that for some reason Samsung removed.
I guess this is another reason I'll be hoping for a pure Android ROM...
Yeah, I'm not sure why on earth they would remove that...
launcher pro will let you access that hidden menu i used it on my epic 4g and now on the epic touch.
Google voice will let you do that, and Sprint let's you use your existing number with it. Not a perfect solution, but at least it's a free workaround for this problem, and GV has a lot of other really nice features, so no reason not to use it - takes about 5 minutes to setup.

I was the biggest advocate for GV..WAS! After all kinds of issues with calls not going through and constant text send/receive issues I disabled GV and ALL of my problems went away. My friend was telling me to disable it because he had sprint too and was having none of my issues. I fought him for like a month. When I finally got rid of GV and my stuff started working again I had to eat crow and tell him he was correct.
It was amazing when it worked, but it gave me far too many problems to rely on as my primary form of communication.

Not sure if you are still wanting to receive voicemails from the numbers you are trying to block but if not I just use the sprint website and block numbers I dont want to receive calls or texts from...just a suggestion...

+1000000 on this ive had my phone for about 2 weeks the first few days it was fine then i enabled gv and then my calls just kept ringing meanwhile the other end people could hear me and my background noise while it was still ringing on my end
and also 50% of the time my calls wouldnt start ringing at all i would have to hang up and recall a few times to get them to connect, finally i went to google voice website and unchecked all of the boxes next to my mobile number on there and my calls started using my stock number again (not the gv one) and i havent had one single problem connecting or not receiving calls since
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.

Anybody else unable to locate a phone while Google Voice is integrated with Sprint? My two lines with GV always report "unable to locate" Go into Voice's settings and disable integration and it works great. Third line is always quickly located.
I have searched XDA, Sprint and Google and haven't found even a reference to the issue. Want to make sure it's not something on my end.

Here's my explanation:
Yah know how you can use your housephone/landline (if you have one) or someone else's phone and call yours. For example, if your phone number is: (860) 555-1255?
You use another phone and call your phone at that number, then when your greeting starts you press * and put in your passcode, then GV says "to Place a Call, Press 2". That means that you can call with two different phones, so as of now, the locator gets confused when it sees a Sprint phone and another number...
So basically it's like having two phones with one number, (which with Google Voice it is possible).
The locator gets really confused and doesn't work... Hopefully Sprint will catch up and fix this...
That's my theory.

I wouldn't think that GV would break it because neither the MDN or MIN change. Although I'm familiar with the operation of GV on its own, I'm not sure what changes behind-the-scenes after integration. Hopefully it's just a simple fix.
I'm just surprised that I didn't find any posts or faq dealing with it. One of the reasons for my low post count is I can usually find whatever answer I'm looking for without needing to ask. I'm pretty sure that almost every question has been asked and answered on a forum somewhere.

I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else, Someone called my phone about 3-4 times but it never rang. Thenmy phone does ring and they say I called them, when it was my phone that just rang and I answered, I didnt make any call. Both of our phones somehow automatically called each other. My call log shows an incoming call from that person, and their phone shows an incoming call from me at exactly the same time. Anyone know the reason why?
Lol someone probably prank called you using the application evil operator. It connects two phones and you can record the conversation. It's quite a nice app.

Are you on stock? I know with AOKP you have to change the sounds, default is silent ringtones.
