It's Google Voice
You need to go to your Google Voice settings and turn off Call Screening.
Go to google.com/voice > Sign In
Go to:
Options > Voice Settings > Calls > Call Screening ON/OFF
You want to check the off box... All done. I had this same thing happening to me.

dialing 1 for voicemail

for some reason i cant dial 1 for voicemail, knowing me i probably hit something and changed a setting. how can i make it work again?
thanks
I would recommend you turn on 1's for all calls not just voicemail. Go to Start -> Settings -> Phone -> Services Tab. Scroll down to Automatic Prepend and press Get Settings. Enable Automatic Prepend for a 1 in front of all of your outgoing calls.
If you only want to do it for voice mail, go to Start -> Settings -> Phone. The first entry is the number to call for voicemail. Throw a "1" in there.
He's not talking about dialing a 1 before the number, he's talking about holding down the 1 key to access voicemail. Not sure what the issue is, works fine for me. What dialer are you using?

Ahhh. I'll be quiet now.
the stock dialer with 3.35
I got the "2" working for voice mail but would be nice to have the 1 back, kinda used to it. Business is picking up alot and i need my voice mail waaaaaaa.
thanks gc, u2 ande
Go into Settings->Phone. What does it say next to Voicemail:
has my phone number......should i put a "1" in there? by itself?
Are you on Sprint or Verizon?
sprint.....
2 Things...
1. Is your phone number in this format xxx-xxx-xxxx or this format xxxxxxxxxx?
2. When you open the dialer and click Menu->Speed Dial, what's in there?
the "2" that I put in there earlier that dials my voice mail.
dosent have the option to use the "1" available is 3-99. the "1" must be set aside for the voice mail but it must have left town.
Did you install the sprint carrier cab? If so, did you install the new one that was updated a few days ago?
No still on 3.35
Wait you're using the 3.35 stock rom?
Yes sir, I thought i mentioned it earlier, sorry if i didnt.
And it was there working, and then suddenly just disappeared? Or it never worked?
it worked before and it just quit working one day. I brutally dropped my phone and dislodged the vibrate thing off the mainboard (made my skin cringe) but the phone works great still with the exception of the vibrate thing of course.
I dont know if dropping it is when it stopped working or not
Have you tried a hard reset?
If i do that i will update to the new rom, I just hate reloading everything
In the registry, navigate to "HKCU\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction\CDMA\VoicemailIcon"
What values do you have under that key?

MIUI ROM v2.1.67 incoming call acceptance?

Hey guys, so I'm obviously running MIUI on my 3D but everytime I receive a call and I slide down to answer, a voice pops up and asks me to press 1 if I want to receive the call? How can I set this up right, I'm pretty sure it's a setting but I can't find it! Thanks
Are you using google voice?

I installed it and unistalled because it kept sending me emails and all that junk. Could that be the problem even if it's not installed?
When I had that issue it was because I integrated my phone number with google voice. I fixed it by going back through the settings and choosing not to use google voice to make any phone calls.

Removing google voice association with the phone number is one way to resolve the issue.
If you're interested in keeping google voice but dislike the requirement of pressing 1 every time to accept the call, the feature is labeled as Call Screening and is available under the Settings -> Calls section on the web site: http://www.google.com/voice.
If you receive a lot of legit phone calls, this setting would probably get frustrating quickly. If you receive a lot of spam calls, this setting is very handy as you can send it to voicemail and listen if they leave a message.
Hope that helps!

[Q] Need help turning something off

My wife started playing with my note , and I have notice that everytime I get an e-mail or call that my phone tells me " You got 1 new e-mail " or tells me who is calling. Anyone have an idea ?
I am confused as to what you are asking. You dont want to know when someone is calling you or texting you?
You can turn off notifications in the menu settings of the messaging app.
As for phone calls, well you will probably need to download a blocker app to stop phone call notifications.
Sorry for the confusion.
I don't know if she install something but does your Note notify you via voice that you got 1 new e-mail.
Or like when someone calls that this person is calling you or the number ?
It kills me to hear that while I am listing to music.
I think he means that it is talking aloud to him. I had that with some ROM I flashed on my last phone. I had to do into settings> applications > all applications and clear defaults/data on any app that had TTS in the name Example - Pico TTS. TTS stands for text to speech.
idk for sure, but perhaps she turned the Driving Mode on.
goto Settings / Voice Input and Output / Text to Speech settings.
is Driving mode checked green? if so, uncheck it and do a test call, see if it stops the phone from talking to you.
tx --- art.

You are the BESTEST !!!!! LOL. Why she did that , I have no idea. For all I know she is getting kicks and giggles for it. But thanks. That was it !
It sounds like she turned on the Vlingo Voice App with Driving enabled?
I did the same thing when I first got the Note last week.
np Fred, lucky guess lol. i'm glad you asked, now i know what that option means

[Q] Incoming Call Announcement

When I get an incoming call and try to answer, I get a voice anouncement about the call have have to press "1" to accept. I want to turn this anoucement off. I've looked at just about every setting I can think of and don't see where I can get rid of this setting. Very annoying.
Any clue as to where this is set so I can turn it off?
Thanks

Do you use Google Voice? My guess is you do. Because I'm not aware of Sprint having an option like this.
If you do use Google Voice, Log onto Google Voice from a computer, go to settings, then to Calls, then check 'off' for call screening.
It is Google voice. You to go online and adjust your settings or un-install, restall and don't allow it to integrate with your Sprint services.

That was it. BIG THANKS!!! Funny but that seeting must have been in place for a couple of years now. I just switch from the original Evo 4g to the 4g LTE last week when this started happeneing. Didn't do anything to Google Voice settings.

Incoming calls

My phone has just recently started asking me to "press one to accept this call" im with sprint. Is this something new? or is there a setting i can turn this off. Had it happen on multiple ROMS...

I believe it's a Google voice thing. You have to go into voice settings on the computer to change it. Hope this helps.

Yep, you would have to go to Google Voice settings on a computer to disable google voice.
Go into google voice -> settings -> calls -> turn off call screening. That should help.
Thanks guys! That was annoying me...
