Voice calls always answer with speaker phone on - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

When not using Bluetooth my voice calls always answer with speaker phone on. How do I default the calls to SP off? I've searched and found a few ideas but none work.
Os this a Goolgle voice thing or related to my ROM? I use Caulkin and I have had this issue for aqhile.

Do you use GV to make & receive calls? Is your phone paired with your GV account, or do you simply use GV for voicemail?

I just use GV for voice mail.

hmm...never thought of that. ****s super annoying!!!

Nope, no Voxer. I'm not even sure when the problem started. It could have been before I started using Google Voice for voice mail (integrated with Sprint).
I haven't found any GV settings that would enable the speaker phone on the phone.

There is a GV setting for answering with speaker on. If your phone is integrated, it might be forcing your phone. Try changing that setting or even freezing GV and see if anything changes

I have this issue too wether I have apps or not installed and even b4 I rooted. I think it's a glitch with the phone itself. It's annoying! It doesn't always do it but when it does it looks stupid that I got the phone to my ear and then the person bust out on the speaker smh

Is it possible your phones are in car mode or the "Driving Mode" that the Samsung version of Vlingo installs? I think one of the car mode features is to automatically answer calls in speakerphone mode.

My driving mode is never on. It just does it idk y.. Maybe it saves the last calls setting so if you hang up on speakerphone the next call comes thru on it. Idk but I will test it out tomorrow and see.

I know this is months late, but my wife's phone just randomly started doing this. Go to voice talk in apps tray, then hit menu button, then scroll down to voice talk settings, then disable auto speaker on answer.
This just worked for us. Just in case anyone else comes looking for the answer.

[Q] Why can't I make calls?????

I cannot make calls but I can make calls with my EVO, but I can receive them. What is going on??????????? It worked earlier today and all of the sudden it just stopped!
I am also going through the same thing. I was able to make calls earlier today but now I can't. I do receive calls. Anyone else also experiencing this. Im using the Synergy rc1 supersonic rom. What rom are you using?
Are you getting any sort of error code when you try to call?
No just no dial tone. it hangs up after 20 seconds followed by beeps.
Seems like there are maj network errors going on. I had a ton of network busy errors, trying to make calls this week, and my buddy, with Verizon has had the same problem.
I would say this is probably a service issue. I am not rooted and the same thing is happening to me. I can receive calls, but not place calls. Just started happening this evening about 6:00ish. At least that's when I noticed it.

Got to turn off your Google voice integration and it will start working instantly.

I think you are right. The google voice - sprint integration is the problem. I disable it and now it work perfectly. Thanks!
Yeah I had the same issue today, I called sprint and they killed the Google voice on there end and problem solved.
I don't have G voice, but still had the call problems

I am having the exact same issue, and it began sometime this last evening, about 7-9 hours ago. I have had Google Voice, but after upgrading from Hero to Evo on Wednesday, Google Voice can't locate my Sprint number to integrate it on the Evo, and so I cannot disable it, either, which prevents me from working the "easy" fix by removing it.
I did have a rooted Hero when I got GV, but I've yet to root the Evo, hoping Gingerbread keeps it running okay on stock. But this issue is persisting, and it doesn't matter to me if it's GV related or not, I don't want to have to send the device back.
I did call tech support, and did soft/hard resets and they refreshed the device and tier 2 tech resent services and it seemed fixed for 5 seconds, then went right back to the "20-sec dead air before fast busy signal" issue. I even work for Sprint and am having this issue! I've never seen anything like it, and I've been in Sales Support for a good while. I'd ideally like to use GV, but if it's gonna be like this, no thanks.
Other than disabling GV (as I cannot at the moment), any other suggestions?
P.S. - Hi, new to the forums, thanks very much for any help!!

Go to your google account on your computer, then to Google voice and in options, you can turn it off
GV is working again for those interested.

I had this exact issue and resolution. Turn off G Voice integration, call Sprint to turn it off if you need to.

why do i have to push 1 to answer calls?

is this some sprint thing or something? i just switched from tmobile yesterday. everything is good except this is pretty annoying. when i get a call i slide the green answer tab then i hear some lady say "you have a call from ___ press 1 to accept". how do i just answer by sliding the green tab and not pushing 1 after?
Do you have google voice?.. that's what happened to me when I used it..

I know right i hated that
I heard there was a way to disable it but i couldnt find it

i did have google voice but i deleted it because i thought it was the problem. i only use it for voicemail so it's no big deal. but it's still there.
H aha if only you could be me for a day, that crap gets so annoying. so I have a Nexus S 4G on Sprint and Bionic on Verizon. I installed Google Voice on my NS and didn't even go through the setup. I mean I have a number and account because I used to use Voice on my Eris. Anyways I installed, never opened the app and was having to press one to answer a call as well. Here is where life gets weird, every call I get on my Sprint phonE, my Verizon.Bionic rings as well and I can answer either phone for the exacT same phone call. Note that I havE never even installed Voice on my bionic. I'm sure I could easily fix it and Im pretty sure I know how without having to browse around but I am kind of having fun with it. I never know which of three phone numbers is calling/messaging it flip flops on me. Major issues lmao

well damn this is just stupid. i wonder if i can disable it in my google account or something. this is way too annoying to ignore.
You have to log in to your g-voice account and disable it there..
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic Touch 3g
yup, i figured it out. thanks, i guess i could have tried that first.
lemonoid go onto your google account and go into voice, it's all right there.
Yea I figured Im just too lazy to do it right now but thanks for confirming it. I guess you could go into the app and change it to where it never uses voice or either it just asks for each call

There is a setting in google voice which you can disable... n you will no longer have to press 1 to accept ..
I dont know is above answers were on how to disable GV on phone, or how to change this exact setting
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
u have to go on ur computer to ur google voice site....in the settings some where is call acceptance
After its disabled make sure your voice mail works. 2 of my phones lost VM after getting rid of GV and the only way to get it back was through Sprint CS

Lol. That's Google voice working precisely as intended. Though it's a little surprising since, as far as I know, you have to set up forwarding numbers at voice.Google.Com ... Though I guess just installing the app might do that automatically.
Lol.

Check your sound and ringtone settings.. It might be that the sound you had setup is no longer working or has been deleted, or whatever. Try other ringtones.
ok i trying that, how about this i have a tone that on my blackberry it was a notifer, but on the Epic is showing only as a ringtone and wont give it to me as a option for a notifier tone?
Also do you have any call blocking or call screening apps? Had one of those and most of the time the phone wouldn't ring. Deleted it and phone worked perfectly/ Sprint allows call number blocking via their website.
Try zedge in the market for all of your ringtone, notification, and wallpaper needs.

Thank You very much for this info......I've been using Mr. Number and I too have had some issues w/ my sound dropping off and I have to reboot to fix it. Hopefully uninstalling Mr. Number will fix it. Updating my Sprint account to ignore the #'s instead! Damn solicitors!!!!!!!!!!!

Problems receiving calls?

Im not even sure where the problem is, but my phone rarely is able to call my wifes phone, I have the gn2n she has a moto photon, she often times gets a busy signal, before a call goes through and when I call her it just rings and goes to voice mail, she never even gets ac missed call. everyone else's phones seem to work done as far as I know.
Any one have any insight to what causing or our problem?
I have the same problem as I have the note 2 and my friend has the s3 and he says when he call me it always go to voice mail
I have this problem as well, but it started before the GN2. Sprint really is getting unusable.
Do any of you guys use Google voice? I couldn't call out to many numbers, just got a busy signal. Had to disable the Google voice integration and the tech told me she had to disable it on her end too.

Did the fix the issue once disabling the google voice integration? If it didnt then im getting this phone on tmobile cause i think its a sprint issue.
Sprint tells me that this phone "might not be compatible" with Google voice. I don't buy that, but I haven't reenabled it since the issue I had.

[Q] Google Voice integration

Hi all, sorry for another question so soon. Anyway, with my old rooted re-rommed Evo 4 I was able to integrate with Google Voice and actually send text messages using Google Voice on the PC or on my tablet. I seem to have been able to get Google Voice "integrated" on the Optimus G, but I don't have the ability to send text messages from PC or tablet. Does anyone know anything at all about this? Any ideas? Thanks!
Aaron
Not sure why you are having that problem. My Google voice is working right. I was just on the PC yesterday sending texts.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2
Might have to remove your phone from Google voice and re add it?
I've had issues with Goggle Voice also that once I Integrate my sprint number with google voice, anybody that tries to calls me gets a busy signal. Don't even know how to fix this.
I've also had problems with google voice, whenever someone calls me and I answer, it goes straight to voicemail and I can even hear google voice talking.

Try uninstalling the GV app in the Play store then download it again. It should bring you through the settings again to confirm carrier integration. If that doesn't work go to voice.google.com on the computer, click the little gear on the top right, click settings and check the phone settings. You should see the little sprint logo next to your phone number.

This is not a "problem" but a feature... They call it call screening. Press 1 to accept the call, even after the person has started leaving a message. I turned off this feature. Go to voice.google.com on the computer, click the little gear on the top right, click settings, then click the tab for "Calls". Call screening is the first option, turn it off.
I only know all this because I have used GV since it first came out, then integrated immediately when Sprint made it an option.
Thanks all for the replies. I did as suggested and uninstalled google voice then reinstalled. It still wouldn't let me send texts from PC or tablet, but I guess I wasn't patient enough, because a short while later those features became available. So I guess for whatever reason there was a delay but I'm in business now.

I think there might also have been a slow-down on GV's end the past couple of days; I just received a voicemail from last night and a text from earlier this AM, so there might've been some general strangeness afoot as well.
