Incoming calls - HTC EVO 3D

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...

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.

Anyone have this annoying problem?

So my problem just started last night.
And that is when i answer a call i get a prompt after i hit answer, It tells me to press 1 to accept call or press 2 to send to voicemail.
It started after i installed Google voice. So i uninstalled but it's still doing it now.

I had that problem with Google Voice too. When I uninstalled it, I had to log into Google Voice and edit the settings to remove the service from my phone. Been a while back, but log into Google and look it up...or just Google "disable or remove Google Voice" and see what it says. Hope this helps.

This is a setting in Google Voice. There are two options:
1) Announces caller (Press 1 to accept, etc) and (if you miss the call) lets you listen as caller leaves a message
2) Directly connects calls when phones are answered (Standard for most phones w/o GV)
These settings are stored on the Google Voice web site under Settings -> Call -> Call Screening.
I keep Call Screening on because I like to be able to hit 1 to accept or 2 to send to voicemail, etc. I can see how it could be frustrating and some people would rather when they pick up have the call directly connected.
Hope that helps!

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] 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.

[Q] Google Voice for AT&T S III isn't working for my phone

Anybody else having this issue? I'm getting an app crash when trying to switch carriers for voice mail from AT&T's to Google's. It was working perfectly fine with my S II.

On my Sprint SGS3, I wasn't able to set Google Voice as my voicemail on the phone itself. However, I went through the process as far as I could (within the Google Voice app), and then logged on to Google.com/Voice > Settings > click on "Deactivate Google voicemail on this phone". After that, re-enable Google Voicemail and you should be good to go.
Soon after that, the settings on the phone were greyed out and voicemails came in as expected.
Sorry if this isn't so clear! Time for bed and my brain isn't firing on all cylinders. Good luck.
It's not working for me either. Seems there's issues on Sprint and T-Mo too with the SGSIII and Google Voice. I hate using stock voicemail. Hope the next Google Voice update cures this.

while we're here, when someone leaves me a voicemail, it goes to my old phone that has the google voice app (it's still connected to wifi). it doesn't show up on my new phone though.
do i have to do something with my old phone to make it stop? or do i change some other settings?

bump?
i couldn't get this to work. the post wasn't very clear. did you go to google.com/voice on your phone or via website? i did via phone and don't see anywhere to "Deactivate Google voicemail on this phone". didn't see it via computer, either.
edit: so i found this via browser on my computer finally. reactivated and still no dice
I was only able to switch my VoiceMail provider from AT&T to GoogleVoice by using the dialcode listed @ voice.google.com (*004*<insertyourGVnumberhere>#), and it works, even though Dialer app settings still shows "My carrier" instead of "Google Voice" as the provider, and attempting to change it in the Dialer still says "Forwarding number change failed".
My problem now is that I can't for the life of me figure out where to change the timeout before it forwards to VoiceMail. I test-called from another phone and it rings for at least 60 seconds(!) before forwarding to GoogleVoice, instead of the 15 or so it used to be. Where do you change this, or can you?
Me too - luckily I saved the activate/deactivate google voice in my contacts list so was able to change the forwarding ok. Not sure if there's anyone at google that takes feedback on these kind of issues or not - but I haven't seen many things responded to on their feedback forums (like DST / calendar sync issues for the last few years with no fixes). Get what you pay for I guess.
