Has call screening been turned back on in the January update?
I've only ever tried it once and nothing happened, heard the caller "hello...................hello?"
For me always work. Even after December update. I've just checked and work perfect
Yes, it's on for me.

For me, yes, as well as "Hold for Me".
I wish you could change the message is plays. I have paranoid friends who'll hear the phrase, "a transcript of this call", and hang up thinking the entire call will be recorded/transcribed. Then again, the reason I'd need to screen them is because they all have their caller ID blocked. Lol!
Yeah it wasn't showing for me at first but I went in and did a force stop on the dialer app and then cleared cache. It was showing after that.

Most of them are active duty or retired Military and they're SUPER paranoid, especially these days. They all have their caller ID blocked and it's almost impossible to get them to give you their number. They think *I'm* the odd one for not having mine hidden. Lol!

I use Signal as well, but, can't get everyone else to use it. I like it for lots of other reasons though. Namely, how it handles media/ photos. Your friends are wise to be paranoid. Carriers in the US have been caught recently censoring text messages with links to articles "they" don't think anyone needs to see. Will phone conversations be next? Find that article at: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...ages-excuse-censor-gateway-pundit-links-text/
yeah I have also seen it on Jan update although haven't used it on this update yet

there is the leaked official rom....

Gingerbread + 4g + AOSP = CM7
Awesome, thank you both!
I can't deal with the VM issues on CM7. Otherwise, it is awesome. But the text each time you get a voicemail is ridiculous.
Update to using Google Voice... No more VVM issues with CM7, and works like a charm.

But why? Sounds like there's another option besides switching my phone number.
Besides, I can never get used to the "press 1 to talk prompt." I'm always like, hello? ... press 1 ... hello?

Well for one, you do not have to change your number anymore... Sprint has integrate with GV where your Sprint number is your GV number...
Second, yeah that is getting a bit annoying. I am hoping they fix that or provide a way to turn it off...

You, sir, just blew my mind. I am potentially very happy about this.
Potentially because I apparently do not have the capability yet. I don't have the "enable google voice on your sprint mobile phone" link next to my number.

That is still in the testing phase, you won't be able to unless you sign up for testing (not sure if that is still open) or until they release it.

Dammit I want it now, though.
Why would switching to gv for voice mail change your number? I have gv as my voice mail and I don't need to change my number. Whenever people call my sprint number and I don't pick up it just goes to gv voicemail.
Also the press 1 to talk prompt can be changed in gov setting via computer not android app. If you log in to gv on your computer you can change the settings.

+1 I like the Google Voice MUCH better than Sprint VVM.....and the text translations are free (though not all that accurate at times). Just alot more options than VVM.
im using youmail for visual voice mail on CM7, works like a charm, and i dont get those text messages from 9019 or whatever number it was, i can't remember if i blocked them with my messaging app, but i think just fiddling with some settings makes it go away, after my most recent flash a few days ago the text messages never showed up,
Even if you have a gv number, it's not like you have to change your number. Dialing your sprint number still gets people to your gv voicemail.
Plus, like said above, if you're getting texts, just block them. Most of the GB AOSP ROMs (if not all) have 4g now.
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.

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

So Ive really been liking this call screening application the 3 has now. Ive been using it a lot to get rid of spam calls. However, it states that Ill get a copy of the conversation. I had a legitimate phone call the other day that I screened and I needed the phone number someone left on that call screen and I have no clue where to find the conversation.

There is no history, it only transcribes in real-time while you are screening the call, once connected it is no longer in effect.

Thats weird. If you watch it while its transcribing on the screen, it literally says its sending a copy to the phone owner.

Right, the conversation being between the google assistant, and the caller (which you get a copy of in real-time).
Not the conversation between you and the caller once you connect.

That guide says it's only available in the US right now. Do all US users have it now or is it only in "select markets"? I've heard some reviewers mention it's being rolled out to more cities over the next month, but wasn't sure if that meant more US cities or worldwide.

I think that refers to Duplex, like where the Assistant will make dinner reservations for you by placing the call.
Im pretty sure the call screening is for everyone right now in US.

The transcripts will show up under call details. I played around with call screen and was getting transcripts on my P2XL using THIS method. Now that I have the P3XL I can no longer get them. Now I'm wondering if one of the 3 flags (non-locale) I set in the dialer_phenotype_flags.xml file enabled the transcripts. It's easy to do, so when I get home tonight I'll give it a shot. BTW... that xml is an interesting file! @uicnren
My caller ID is not working for any calls not on my contact list. This was not the case on the Pixel 3XL I came from. I have added a secondary caller ID app called Hiya which shows me there IS caller information coming across, but the Google dialer is only showing a phone number.
Anyone else with this? Is it normal on OP? Is there a fix?

You can.
Guess I should have mentioned I have the settings turned on.
I've reset connections, reset network settings, even wiped the phone a few times installing with zero backups. Hasn't changed anything.
While I'm moderately happy with the phone, this is still an issue.
Anyone have suggestions?
You need to call Verizon and tell them your issue.. they need to fix it on their end
I have a pretty hard time believing this is on the Verizon end when different apps will get the information.
The caller information is making it TO the phone, as evident in different apps, but the Google dialer is not broadcasting the info.
After spending countless hours with Verizon just to get this phone working on their network, I probably shouldn't doubt you. It's just a rabbit hole I don't think I can go down...trying to get to a customer support reps who actually knows how to fix things and not read candid answers off a checklist in front of them is pretty rough.

Definitely an issue on VZW side. I've seen reports about this around. I'm on T-Mobile, so it's pretty much enabled by default across all the phones my family has... Including an iPhone.
