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.

Google Voice App - add / view contact

Anyone know why when I'm in gv app if I click add or view contact nothing happens..
Do you like using it better than sprint vm app?
Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

That is actually pretty weird. I have never tried to add a contact from Voice before you posted this issue. It don't work for me either.... Hmm...
As for your question as to which one is better? I have been using Voice since it was in Beta (invite only). I absolutely love it. It provides you a text transcript of your VM, which most carriers charge extra for. It also allows you to flag a VM as spam.
If you are lucky enough to have carrier integration (as I do with sprint) you can log into your VM account on line and set up custom greetings based on an individual number, or an unknown number, etc. You can also set up specific numbers that will be directed directly to VM or to just hang up with no option to leave a VM at all.
In short... I love this app.

Thanks! Yeah so far I like it. Too.
Only issues is like I said about viewing and adding contacts
Also sometimes if I call someone the caller Id
Is not my number... It's a 202 number
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

there is actually a setting that you can enable to choose what number is displayed on Caller ID. I do not use the Sprint integration. I have my Google Voice number separate from my phone's number. So whenever I call someone, it uses my phone's number. You can enable the option to make it ask you if you want to use google voice, and then it will show up with your voice phone number.

[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!

Google voice and Sprint.

So after rooting and flashing ICS I installed the gv app and accidentally chose to let it combine my numbers, it whatever the deal is with sprint. Now I can't send texts or make calls from my actual cell number.
How can I fix this? I used the Odin oc format all to update from fc whatever to the latest fe whatever. And the problem persists.

Uninstall voice, reinstall, but don't select that option.

If what kbizzle said doesn't work then you can got to google.com/voice and in the settings there you can disable that, it happened to me once lol

Will900 thanks your solution was just what I was looking for.

omg... thank you so much. I was pressing "1" to answer calls for almost 3 weeks.. I had disabled/enabled/uninstalled/reinstalled/disabled internet calling/deleted phone and re-installed and all the while on my voice app said that it was not enabled and I thought I just had a kooky phone.
No more pressing 1 for me. awww, freedom.

2 Quick Tips:
1.) The Google Voice homescreen widget has clickable text toggles to switch
between: Do Not Use, Use For All Calls, and Use For International Calls, and Ask
Every Time.
2.) As long as Google Voice call forwarding IS SET to "forward" and "Enable
Google Voice on your Sprint Phone" IS NOT ENABLED, you can save the inbound
GV number as a contact (also select custom ring) so you know when someone is
calling on that line. Additionally, GV can be set to screen incoming calls.
I generally toggle between "Do Not Use" and "Ask Every Time" when I want to dial out using my GV #.

Lol, never forget to go to google.com/voice after installed voice, it will take over your phone, every time I got a phone call it would send me texts and emails and all kinds of crap, receiver a text I'd get a text gv text, email, a letter in the mail, crap, change those settings lol!!!

Google Voice

I just bought my T999 two days ago, and am just getting a feel for this phone. I've not rooted it yet, and may not for a bit. I haven't decided.
I have rooted several other phones, so I'm comfortable with that process. I just want to get a feel for a few weeks, and even see when/if 4.1 gets officially released in the short-term.
That said, I've been using GV since it came out; really before it was officially released. I load it on my phone, and when I go to configure the voicemail, it fails. I've called TMO tech support, and of course they don't want to touch this.
Any thoughts on this? Is there truly an incompatibility with GV on the T999 as the TMO rep told me? I've searched the Apps forum, and could not find anything remotely related to this issue.

From the dialer screen, hit menú, go to call settings, scroll down to voice mail service and try it that way, I had the same issue

I tried that, and the calls are still being routed to the carrier voice mail. New messages are not routing to Google Voice.
Dangit!

Settlement it up online. It will have you enter codes and such.

You have to go to Google voice settings Not just your Google settings. It walks you thru on setting up new/different phone number
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

If you are on T-mo prepay, they don't support conditional forwarding. However any t-mo number can get to a tech support (call a few times if need to) and they can just change your voicemail number in the system to your GV number.
Alternatively you can follow GSM codes and Google Voice instructions.
Type into your phone...
*004*1XXXYYYZZZZ# dial
That will forward (missed calls, busy, and phone not reachable) calls to that number.
Also, on T-mo (not prepay) and AT&T you can set the number of seconds before the ringing call goes to VM.
*61*1XXXYYYZZZZ**10# dial
Where 10 is the number of seconds the phone rings before going to VM.
You can look it up, but valid numbers there are 5, 10, 15, 20, 30.
You can save that as a contact and change the time it rings based on location.
(If you have two GV numbers, you could direct missed calls to one voicemail box,
and phone off /no service calls to another number for a different message)
Enjoy.

Also, just FYI, install the GV app on any android phone (since the G1), and it will allow you to toggle outgoing calls being made through GV or your call service (or prompt you each time you dial). So if the GV app is running you can call someone and the caller ID is your GV number. The phone says something about calling 1-800-whatever which is google's relay number. The app also allows you to listen to voicemails and full access to the same stuff in the webpage (ie. send SMS from the app, block calls, etc).
The only difference is that Sprint has totally integrated GV numbers with their phones, so you can actually send and receive calls from GV number without the app running or intermediate 800 number. (maybe they pseudo port your GV number)
Also protip, you can transfer GV numbers between different gmail accounts. You can even swap two GV numbers but it requires a third dummy google acct. The only thing in transferring is that you must have different pin numbers and the receiving account must not have any GV number associated with it (or you just transfer it to a new dummy acct). You can also have the same GV number listed on two gmail accounts is they both set the number to Home instead of Cell, but that means you cannot get SMS forwards. Google has a special webpage for the transferring process, which happens almost instantly.

You go to voice.google.com and add a cellphone to your account (or edit the number the acct is associated with). When you do this google with call you and you have to enter in two numbers. Or if you do not already have a GV number it will walk you through the process (pick a GV number, enter your cell number, confirmation, done)

Go into settings from your dialer, call forwarding, and then change the last three numbers to your gv number then it will work properly. For some reason the app doesn't do that part properly on our phones.
