Thats pretty weird because I get the same exact thing, I just actually tried it and does that because I tried calling my Dad which is (DA and the A is actually the # symbol)... Anyways this is weird why it does that.

Agreed
This is something I think alot of people could benifit from, does anyone know how to remove this "feature" or push us in the right direction for finding how?

kavana rom.
i figured it out
(1-99) followed by # prompts whether you want to dial the contact in that sim position
i backed up and deleted my sim contacts, but i would like a solution that doesnt involve killing my sim contacts.

Do you have google voice? that could be it.

Thats almost definitely it. It a setting you can change in Google voice.
Sounds like you have Google Voice.
I believe this has something to do with Google Voice's Call Presentation settings. Turning it off makes it so that the first phone to pick up an incoming call, will automatically answer it.
I've uninstalled it before and relized that stock voicemail blows donkey...but I will try it again.

You can either set it up for just voicemail or you can use the full integration of Google Voice. The full integration enables you to screen calls, block unwanted phone numbers from calling you, handling your SMS traffic and a bunch of other things.
It sounds like you have the full integration enabled.
Yup, definitely Google voice. Log into you account via a computer and go through the settings and you'll see it there.
Like everyone else said gvoice change it online

Settings/calls/voice screening •OFF
Its should be off by default. It took me forever to figure that out.
Edit: Yea I ment its on by default, but should be set off and to switch it on if you wanted that feature.

Nope. It's set to on by default--which, I think, is a bad idea. Most people automatically hang up when they get anything resembling a voicemail so I ended up having to call people back because of that feature. I quickly turned it off. Voice is otherwise great, though.
Yes I noticed I get alot of 3 sec voice mails. Thx all

Gotta love the Google Voicemail to text.

Sense roms and facebook synced contacts

Hey guys, I looked for this on XDA and Google but I may just be not searching for the right thing, whenever I try to call a person who has their number on Facebook and it has the format +1... the phone disconnects and says the network is busy and to try again later, but if I remove the +1 the call works fine. I can't seem to edit people who's numbers I got from Facebook to remove the +1 from their number either.
Currently I am using Shooter nightly but I have had this problem on other sense roms as well, my PRL and profile are up to date and I've had this issue when I was stock as well as a friend of mine who has the thunderbolt.
If anyone knows of a way to fix this I would appreciate it.

I have noticed that with phones which have the automatic prepend setup on their phones. If that's the case, it's definitely a network issue. There is not a fashion with which to edit the Facebook contact info, other than adding the contact to the phonebook. Facebook adds that +1 automatically.

Under Settings -> Calls there should be a Setting for Plus Code dialing. The settings there should fix the problem. If you don't have those settings, then you're likely using a ROM ported from a GSM device.

Ah I remembered this setting before when I had this problem I couldn't find it on this rom so I guess I'm using a GSM port... well guess I'm going to have to find another daily, it's okay though I'm a flash-aholic.
Thank you very much.

Sprint and Google voice

I have been restoring a titanium backup of voice for a long time but being the happy new owner of a GNex I Installed fresh from the market. It didnt ask about the google voice number integration (the part we all skipped) Did I miss something or have they changed something. I also remember it asking about texting but now it only asks about calls. Can someone confirm. Thanks

I'm not sure what your question is? Do you or don't you want the integration? Are you having problems making or receiving calls or texts?

I dont want integration I just remember having to skip that part and now it no longer asks. I just wanted to verify with someone who has set it up recently that they removed that part. also if someone who JUST uses it for voicemail only would check their settings within voice > sync and notifications > it says receive texts via google voice app (which was another step which was missing I didnt choose that option upon expanding it the choices are that and via the messaging app. I do not want google voice to do anything but voicemails and the new app dosent appear to have the previous steps to deselect those options. I was just looking for verification
Thanks
also on the sprint GNex I recieve a flashing led upon rec of a voicemail but do not have the flashing led with a new text can someone verify this as well Thanks agn
Edit
I chaged the setting to receive texts via the messaging app and now i get a flashing indicator weird
U can select it to receive text also but it doesn't automatically integrate....have to go into settings and check it....

Phone app settings

I'm trying to set up Google Voice as my voicemail, but it only lists my carrier as the only option. I've searched around a bit and have seen people say to go to the settings in the Phone app and enter my GV in call forwarding.
Problem is I don't see that option on the VZW variant.
Can anyone tell me if I missing something?

I have the same problem and I can't find anyone who's experienced this besides you . I feel your pain . I was thinking since there update to gv they took this option out.
Try this.

look at this forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s8+/development/rom-s8-t3627537 it might give you some ideas =)

Google Voice will be your voice mail if you simply set the call forwarding correctly to your Google voice number. You can set your call forwarding thru the My Verizon app, online on Verizon Wireless website, or thru your dialer app by dialing *72 plus your Google voice number then press the call button. If you use the last method, you'll hear a couple beeps then it will hang up... And that's it!
Once you do this, your GV number is your voice mail. Further, you can change your voicemail speed dial setting if you choose (when you long press the number 1 on your dialer) by going into the phone settings shown in my attached pics.
Lastly, the "my carrier" setting is really a non issue. I've been using GV for voicemail for years now. On verizon phones I'm pretty sure the ability to technically change that setting to something else has been gone for awhile. It really doesn't matter what that setting says.... It only matters what you have you line call forwarding set to. The label isn't important.

Question Supplementary services

Hi all,
Some months earlier, I was able to use call forwarding on my airtel SIM in galaxy F62 for voicemail purposes
But now, it just doesn't let me use supplementary services in SIM SLOT 1 like call waiting and forwarding... though Sim Slot 2 is letting me forward the calls...

Can someone please help me troubleshoot the problem I am facing?
PS: I used alliance shield X to open IMS settings once and I am not sure if that was the reason supplementary services not working in Sim 1

May be your shield x broke call supplementary setting. Just backup your device and do a factory reset. If doesn't work the you need to flash system with ODIN

Thanks for the reply, but I inserted my SIM in my mother's phone and the Supplementary services didn't work either..
So I guess the problem lies with SIM only..
Is there some setting or something from where I can just toggle those services on and off ? Or should I contact my telecon operator?
