[CM7] Answering a phone calls - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, seems that ever since I flashed to Nightly build 5+ (currently on 10) I have a weird option to answer phone calls. Everytime I get a call, I slide the tab to answer, then an in call voice prompts me to press 1 to answer and someother options as well. Is this a feature of CM7 or is this some weird bug like thing (lol) I'd really like to get rid of it so all I have to do is slide the tab to answer my calls, as having to press "1" to answer every phone call is kind of annoying

It unexpected, but nice at first. Now its just kind of annoying :\
I've looked thru the settings to see if there's a way to toggle it on/off but haven't come up with anything yet.

Sign in to your google voice account on a pc and disable call screening.

My problem is when the phone rings when I am doing something else on the phone, I have to use the pull down menu just to bring up the call to hit the slide to answer the call. The incoming phone call is not overriding whatever you are doing, so it is very hard to answer.

That is your Google voice integration. Either remove it or as mentioned above log in on a browser and change the option.

Thanks guys!

Is there a reason we all pretty much need to use Google Voice? Does Sprint not recognize our phones properly on CM? Before I activated it, I was not receiving voice mails properly. Sorry for potentially dumb question, I'm still trying to figure everything out here. Also, the Voice website says things about account balances... Does this in any way change my billing for Sprint, or cost extra or anything? Or is that stuff just for people who use Voice as their only provider?

No. I used Sprint voicemail on CM9 with no problem. I used to turn off notification and use the 9016 text as my notification. Sprint vvm for the Epic was made to run with Touchwiz, CM7,9,AOKP,MIUI are not Touchwiz. Alias8188 got the ICS version from the Epic Touch to work on these. But for those still having problems it is just easier to send you to Goggle Voice which has a deal with Sprint for integration so there are no charges.

Voicemail Issues? (Incubus)

Has anybody here come across any voicemail issues while using their Incfredible? Whenever I use the stock sense 2.0 ROM and I have a new voicemail, I call my voicemail, try to type in my password, however it doesn't seem to acknowledge that I am even doing anything. I'll type in my password, press pound, and it'll ask me to enter my password. I tried resetting the password, still no issues. I can't clear the notification so its there forever pretty much. I have like 8 new voicemails right now. I know these ROMs are popular, I am curious as to how nobody else has come across this problem, as I couldn't find a thread anywhere.
Thank you for your time.
Set audible tones to short or long in call settings menu (I think, I don't use sense roms..)

Theres a multicolor widget on TW4 that has 3 buttons on one of the screens. They relate to Text to speach while driving, sounds like one of them is on. Hope this helps
It's the driving mode, should be the car icon. Make sure it's off.

If you open Voice Talk, you can uncheck Driving Mode, that will turn off the voice for new notifications.
Lol this happened to me to when I first got this phone.

Even if car mode is off, and "driving mode" is still on in Voice Talk, you will still hear the Siri-esque voice. You have to disable "Driving Mode" from within "Voice Talk" to get her to shut up.
BTW, you can change what she greets you with when you say "Hi Galaxy" in the program settings. Mine says, "What the hell do you want now, John"
It's the rom that your using. The voice is Linda I think.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
That's one thing I thought it sounded like. I stripped some of the Linda sounds from my Vibrant and brought them over to my GS2. I missed them.
I can't stand that voice and all of the texts and plug in sounds. Talk about wanting attention... Lol

Truth. She makes everyone trip out when I get a call/email/text.

Vibrate when call connects

Is there a way to get the phone to vibrate when dialed number connects.
Right now it plays a tune, so it knows its connected, however can that be tied to vibrate as well?
My old phone did this, and its great to not have to hold the phone to your ear if the connection takes a long time to get through.
if you flash the cm7 Rom it has that option. i dont think any of the others do though.
I use Go Contacts, which comes with Go Dialer , and it has that option ...
Stock dialer does this, settings, call, call alert, answer vibration

If you have root then search "vibralert" in the market.
Top app with lots of options.

[Q] answering calls

hey guys i've been having my sprint galaxy nexus for a few weeks now and i think this just recently started happening.
but when i get a call and i answer it the phone will say to accept the call press 1 to send to voice mail press 2...
can i turn this "feature" off?
dont really like having to pull up the dial pad every time i get a call.
Sounds like you are recieving a Google Voice call.
is that what it is
i thought maybe it was. i guess thats when it started happening. i logged off google voice and it still does it.
Yep google voice call. You need to disable call screening in the settings of the browser site.

[Q] Replacement dialer app?

I love the HTC One but I have one major gripe with the sense 5 phone app. I don't like the tap to answer with incoming phone calls. Coming from a nexus device I loved the swipe to answer. There weren't any accidental phone answers when pulling the phone out of my pocket. Does anyone know of a way to change the incoming call screen to one with a swipe? Via app or setting change. Thanks in advance. I've tried HD caller ID app which works about 25% of the time.
What about swipe dialer?

I think he / she means when the phone is already in use
Maybe I changed something by accident but when I have an incoming call all I have to do is tap answer. There isn't a swipe up or anything. If there was a swipe up that would work as well. Most dialer apps I've found only replace the dialing aspect of the phone and not when it is ringing.

Moved to proper section, please read and respect the rules before posting.
Thanks,
Thanks for the help everyone. I found an app called tiny call confirm that makes me "swipe" to unlock the phone before I can answer. It's not perfect but it'll work for now.
