Problem answering calls NS4G - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every time I receive a call, the sprint operator says the name of the contact calling or unknown caller and says press 1 to answer or 2 for voicemail. Has anyone else had this problem????I talked to sprint about this and they said they had to update my caller id and voicemail and that it would take 72 hrs to update. It has now been 1 week and same ole ****! I have updated prl and profile and still the same. When I press 1, I can answer the call like normal but I have to go through this process every call I get. Please help.

Welcome to awesomeness that is Google voice intergration. Check you Google voice settings, you probably have call screening turned on.

Yes this through me off to. However, go to your Google account through your computer and switch off the call screening. It is on by default.

I can't even find that in settings. Is it in call settings or google voice settings??? I can't see it in either. I'm bout to revert to stock to see what that will do.

ahhh, that's stupid. Thank you very much!

Ja' get it? nothing to do with the phone, rom, or kernel.

are you talking about youmail, or visual voicemail plus?
arent those kind of the same thing as google voice?
I like google voice, you can check you voicemail online, it transcribes(usually poorly, but but better than spring vvm, when i had my epic.)
Google Voice.

you make a lot of threads >_>
yep google voice. sux that any visual voice mail on att not on the iphone is considered a forwarded call and thus uses your minutes but atleast it's not a surcharge like on sprint to use call forward or use sprints transcription service. i used youmail a while back because for some reason on a stock captivate rom that phone wouldn't set call forwarding up to the google voice number for the life of me. if would just fail for no reason. yet it worked for the youmail number. on an i9000 rom my captivate set up google voice just fine. go figure. what i will say is that toe youmail transcription service works better but it is not free, they may still have a free trial for it though.

there is no other platform that has the 3rd party app support and dev comunity. the iphone ui sux. they are constantly doing hacks to get andriod features but they are never as good. meego looks good but few phones have compatable bootloaders.
I can't forward my voicemail at&t number to GV voicemail. On GV app setup when I click configure voicemail and choose GV, it just bring me back to configure voicemail,
I remember when I had my iPhone 4 and some called be on my att number and was sent to the voice mail, the voicemail was forward to GV voicemail.

I had trouble too. Just came from iphone also. You need to log in on your PC not the Google voice app and set it up there Google.com/voice . You should be able to find where it says activate voicemail. Click it and it will give you a long number to call mine started with a *. Enter that # as if you where making a call and press send it will activate your account. I tried and tried to get it working from my phone but ended up going it this way. Good luck

Why not just dial your cell phone number, enter voicemail passcode and listen to your VM's?
Or, have them forwarded to Google Voice?

1) Do what I do... uninstall an reinstall google voice.
2) SKIP the sprint integration
3) Follow the normal google voice setup

Call your voicemail?
I've had an issue once where my voicemail was bugged. Calling it would bring me to nothing (no tone, nada) and the notification would randomly popup even after I dismissed it. Calling back my voicemail at some point and deleting the message fixed it somehow.

If you go to settings, then call settings, what is your voicemail service set to? Carrier or Google Voice? If it's the first one, in voicemail settings you can change the voicemail number to the one you should be using.
I have changed the number and still receive that notification that I have voicemails :/

Google Voice

I love my Inspire 4G and I run the RCMix3D Runny 4.0 ROM. It is fast, I like the fonts and the icons and love Sense 3.5. I also ran a UV script and another script I am forgetting. I have a few issues and the ones I have found are minor, however, just recently though I discovered I can not make outgoing calls with Google Voice. I am in the US on AT&T and its not even an option in the Voice setup to make all calls with Voice. I flashed another ROM to see if this was a ROM issue or some other phone setting issue. The other ROM I flashed (Android Revolution) I had the same issue. No option to make calls (other than international) via Google Voice. Short of flashing back to stock any one have an idea? I was thinking maybe there is a setting to do with location or carrier that is not right. I am using the RCMix kernel. It reports in the 'About Phone' to be a 'HTC Inspire 4G.' I have uninstalled Voice several times and reinstalled without any luck. A previous ROM flash showed the phone as Desire HD so I wonder if I am stuck with a phone that is reporting to be a non-US phone and no-us market Apps?
Use groovy IP if you are trying to make data calls. If you just want people to see your GV number and use your plan minutes in settings you should see

That is what I am getting at. If I posted a screen shot I only have three choices and the first one is not make all calls with Google voice. I have a sip account where I can dial out with my home VoIP but I want voice to work so I can port my number.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
There should be no reason why you have only 3 of the 4 choices. Make sure you update google voice to the latest version. But your posts are confusing. In first post you say you can't make any voice calls. Your last post says you can at least set it on "ask". So which is it?

You could be more clear on how you have this sip account setup. If it is set to make all calls, that could be the reason you are missing that option with Voice. If your intent is to port your cell number to Voice for use with the sip account, that won't work. Voice requires you to have a cell plan.

I thought I said it only gives a choice toake international calls. I have three options, Use for international, do not use and ask me everytime I make INTERNATIONAL call. I have the newest version . Like I said its like I am getting a non-US apk from the market since free voice calling is US ONLY. I am in Kentucky. I think a version of ClearDroid reported my phone as a Desire HD. Maybe my market account is hosed.

Does not matter because before I setup the sip Voice would not work. I have VoIP at home and they provide sip settings for softphone use.

Does not make a difference on my phone but on your phone it might since you have a sip account set up. Homescreen > menu button > settings > call > Use internet calling and try changing your setting to something else.
If you think it might help here is the google voice from my phone.
Thanks. I think it is something deeper because I flashed a different Rom yesterday and same issue. Flashed Rom, booted, download voice run setup and same issue. Nothing else was configured. Tring yours!
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
No luck. I removed the sip account too. Uninstalled voice and rebooted then tried yours. Was hoping there was a system file I could dig into to check device type and or location. Maybe I am off base thinking its something like that. I could flash back stock I guess.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
In your settings for google voice, do you have the area code listed in "This phone's number"? Try "add this phone" again and see if that helps. On the same note I have heard that google voice cannot send voip calls from certain area codes. Have you been able in the past to use google voice with the area code on the phone?
Yes the area code comes up. I believe at one point when I first got the phone the missing option to make calls was there. I've done all sorts of setting changes on the phone and via a browser on the voice side and nothing works.

I'm doubtful that it is rom related. Cleardroid is and has always been based off of the stock Inspire roms. Also, I am using a non US based rom that has been modded for the Inspire and Voice has all the options and works as it should for me.

I agree as changing ROM had no effect. I am on RcMix3D Runny. I think I will flash stock and see what happens from there.

Google voice with lycamobile?

Is it possible to get google voice working with any other services besides the ones they have listed? I want to set it up with my lycamobile number. So is there a way to do this or is it not allowed unless they officially support it? I Google searched and all I could find was how to transfer your Google voice number but nothing about getting it working with other companies. Thanks

I never had to select a carrier but I set mine up a few years ago. Maybe things have changed. If your provider runs on T-Mobile network I would choose it

Abdel, I appear to be in the same situation as you. I am able to receive calls/texts using my Google Voice number, but I wasn't able to make calls using the number because Lycamobile isn't on the drop-down list on Google's "activate Google Voice on this phone" page. BUT then I just changed the setting in GV to "Making calls: Use Google Voice to make all calls" and it works perfectly, showing my GV number on phones I call and ringing my phone when people call my GV number. It even seems voicemails are handled by GV and not Lyca.
