Help! I can't answer my phone! - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok when I am getting a phone call, it is asking me if I want to answer and to click 1 or 2 etc but before I can do that it hangs up on the caller. I think it's probably Google Voice doing this, but it never did it before. I need google voice, i use it for my voicemail. I run CM7 and it doesn't even have a VVM program. But I can't keep hanging up on everyone who calls me! What can I do?

Go to your google voice settings from your browser. One of the options is to disable the prompt.
To be exact,you should disable call screening

Google voice problem

I am running salvage mod 1.1 after switching from a sense rom. I set up Google voice and thought everything was going fine. Well I received a couple voicemails and they keep trying to go to my sprint voicemail. I tried to delete Google voice and reinstall and it still wouldn't work. Any suggestions?

Not trying to be an ass but try posting this question in this thread!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881557
The reason I'm saying this is because you have a better chance of someone answering your question then if you post it here where you have people with all sorts of different roms installed........BECAUSE it might be a problem with your ROM not Google Voice......hope you fix your problem soon!
When you reset it, did you set your voice mail carrier to google voice, and call that number it tells you to?

[Q] dial 1 to accept call

When receaving a call I get a voice message saying that there is a call from ----- press 1 to accept the call press 2 to go to voicemail. I am using google voice.
Are there any sugestions. I've gone to settings in "call", "google voice" ect.
Go to GV on your computer and go to settings. There's an option to turn off call screening.

Make sure to set that as the default on all groups, unless there are groups which you wish to have call screening.

What is the point of using Google voice instead of just regular? I apology for my ignorance.

I like that it saves all your text and voice messages online, and it is extremely easy to reply to messages from your computer.

Ever wish u had a second # u could give out? Want to be able to screen calls or listen in while someone is leaving u a vm? Wish some folks calls would just go to a spam folder & never ring ur cell? Wish u had an app that did all of this & gave u a second phone #? If u answered yes to any of these then u need a GV account.
Hope that helped.

Lmao you're a good advertiser. Can I get that using the account using the phone? I think I already have a GV but I didn't get a #. I'm slightly confused but I understand the awesomeness of what you said.

If u never completed setup of Ur fb account just go to Google.com/voice & complete the account setup to get Ur #. Once u've done that simply go to the market & download the gv app & set it up.

Google Voice cant pull my att data and all that it just wont allow me to use voice as a voice mail option, so im reflashing, and stuck with my horrible issue of rooting :/ lol got it last time, just got to keep working at it this time
Ah, I never use it for voicemail anyway so I might not be much help.
Sent from my LT28at using Tapatalk 2
Test the voicemail even if it says it failed. Mine never says it succeeds, but it works. I use Google Voice exclusively for calls.

:/ well i reflashed and got the teathering option now, but still no luck on the Google Voice :/
Call Settings Error
Could not retrieve and save current forwarding number settings. Switch to new provider anyway?
Yes-
Call Settings updating.
Call Settings Error
Forwarding number change unsuccessful. Please contact your carrier if this problem persists.
so should i go to ATT and see what they say or is there a fix i can do for this?
Try going into Google Voice on your computer and checking out the settings. There is a code you can use to deactivate and reactivate the voicemail feature.
When it fails to set forwarding number, is this in the automatic setup or were you manually forwarding in your settings?
Sent from my LT28at using xda premium
I had same trouble with voicemail. I called to att to deactivate carrier voicemail. They sad it's already expired??? I know I have att voicemail and it's active. So no help from support. I changed manually forwarding numbers to gvoice number. And voicemail number to gvoice. And everything working for me now.

you may have to just set up manual call forwarding to set up google voicemail.
*004*your number#
example; *004*1 212 660 2245# (no spaces)

google voice

Just wondering if anyone has used Google voice for voicemail alone while running imperium. The guide I saw for setting it up said there was an option to choose Google voice instead of my carrier but I can't seem to find that option. Thanks

I also could not find the option to choose Google Voice instead of My Carrier. All that does is change the number that is dialed when you long press the "1". I was able to change it easily with my Nexus S 4G but cannot locate where to change it on my LGOG. I am not rooted and compltely running stock. Thanks! :good:

I can, but the icon is still there
Call in to your voice mail on the dialer and delete the voice message. Press 7 while listening to the voice message. Once done then set up your preferred voice mail app. I use Google voice

I had this issue on the Galaxy S3 when I first got it with a phantom voicemail icon that never went away despite not having any voicemails. I solved it by getting someone to leave me another voicemail and then deleting it. Might work for you as well.
After disabling it as suggested before, reboot your phone.

Same thing happened on the s3. Call yourself from a different phone and leave a message then delete it from your phone.

Can't leave myself voicemail because I don't have voicemail activated.
Did try the reboot after disabling voicemail, still there.

You need to activate it and do the above, that's the only way.

Well if it's the visual voicemail notification that you're trying to make go away, then long press it in notification, and go to app info, and uncheck notifications. If it's the regular voicemail icon, I would say do the same, but looks like on stock that's tied to the phone.apk and stock doesn't seem to let you disable the notification. I'm not 100% sure on this but I think you can uncheck notifications on CM. Otherwise, yeah just setup voicemail leave a message, and then delete it.
I've tried the above method with no results? Anyone have any other ideas thanks ahead .
[edit] I've put this in the wrong spot I have an e4gt I would think the fix would be the same but I can't figure out how to delete my post sorry folks
clear phone data
on galaxy s7 edge with android 6.0 if you hold the notification until you get to "App Notification" then click on the "i" icon, once in the application info select storage. finally clear data
Root the phone and remove the app from your system......
