[Q] Asked to press 1 to answer calls. - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6

Is there a way to turn this off? When I answer a call I have to press 1. It's annoying and I've missed called fumbling around. Can I turn this off?

If you have Google voice enabled, check your settings online and turn off call screening

Thanks! Appreciate it!

Yes. seems like Sprint is now joining forces with google voice and the app is doing it.
Go to:
1) https://www.google.com/voice
2) upper right corner there's a gear, hit on it and choose settings
3) under setting choose "calls" and turn call screening off
4) if you do not want the voice-mail text go to "phones" and un-check "Notify me of new voicemails via text"
I disabled under "phone" the "Your Google Voice Number" and took out my number
Seems like google is trying to get people to use their programs without our permission. Not good.

[Q] CM6 Call Log Issue. Anyone having the same issue?

Using CM6 and I have a annoying issue. I don't know if this was intended as a feature or maybe just an issue on my part. I'd like to be able to go into call log, tap on a missed call/contact, and have it automatically call.
If I want to call my gf I have to long press her name and select call. Is there a way to enable this. I check through the call log preferences and didn't see anything.
Basically need to tap on a contact in my call log and automatically call them. I DON'T want to have to long press.
Judging on it's behavior it looks like it was intended this way.
I think it threads calls by day, and if there were multiple calls in that day you click on you're going to expand the thread.
Otherwise clicking on the call then I get the option to call in the next screen... so 2 maybe 3 clicks at most.
I don't think it is an issue, but the design. I could understand you just want to click to call but it gives you multiple options when clicking on the missed call.

Or you could just open the Phone app, Press Menu >> Preferences, scroll down to Call Log, and click "Show Dial Button".
Nahh... you're right, it's intended that you should be forced to long-press.
Yeah I always redial from my call log so its annoying. Thanks that worked I saw that option but didn't know what it meant. This works perfect.

If you press the arrow on the right side of the call log, it will call that person.

[Q] Cant turn "answer with voice feature" off.

When I receive a phone call I can choose to answer it or reject it with my voice and I cant find any option to disable it. It gets annoying when it picks up from any word when I'm trying to ignore the call lol. Has anyone noticed this feature?
Go to svoice and turn off "control apps" in its settings

If the phone is off you drag up to decline, then drag up the messaging bubble . You'll 5-6 predefined texts, or enter your own.
If the phone is on, tap decline, then choose to send a message from the following dialog that auto-appears.
If you don't see either, open your phone app, hit the settings (...) and scroll down to the bottom.
Check "Declined Calls".

Thank you..
It does seem to be working when the phone is locked, but not when the phone is not locked. Tap on the Decline is simply disconnecting the call but there is no popup.
In the call setting the Declined Call setting is checked.

No problem. There is a check box in that mode to "not show this option" to you again (see attached). Maybe you accidentally hit? I'm not sure how you'd undo it. Maybe uncheck then re-check the Declined Calls box we talked about above?
Factory reset? I don't see anything else in the phone settings or messaging app that look useful.

[Q] How can I turn off caller announce

Somehow I or an app or a setting has changed and all of a sudden every incoming call is being announced with an annoying (and loud) "Call from" in addition to the ringtone.
I have searched all over XDA and Google and found lot of people saying it is driving mode (turned off), but I have checked that and it is not set to do this, but it still it does the announcement.
I'd like to figure out what is causing this and turn it off -- any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Kevin
Hmmm...do you have any apps related to the dialer, phone, contacts, or anything?
I assume you've tried restarting?
And, this is where you checked for driving mode, right? In Settings -> Language and Input -> Text-to-speech output -> Driving Mode is set to off?

I'll look back over my apps I've either tinkered with recently or installed.
I did confirm driving mode is off, but I decided to turn it on to see what would happen and I get two voice announcements. One says "incoming call from" answer the one I can't get rid of says "call from" in a slightly different voice. The one that says incoming is the one that is controlled by driving mode.
Thanks

This has been driving me crazy for days!
If you have Robin installed - this is the culprit. Go into the apps setting and turn off caller I'd!
Hope this helps...

That was it. I don't recall setting that but it recently updated so...
Thank you very much!
Yeah, I guess it set it automatically on the latest update... Very annoying!

How do disable the floating phone icon

Been searching and trying to figure out how to disable the floating phone icon when in call. It's pretty annoying.
What floating phone icon?
Really? Wow... I love that thing... Instead of stopping what you are doing to answer the call I just use that pop up
Its my sisters phone. So I don't have it on me I'm just trying to figure out a way to disable it for her
You mean the small teal bar that just has the time counter? If so, no way to do it unless you root and G3tweaksbox has it in there to disable it.

Settings > Call > Incoming voice call pop-up. Disable it. Is that what you wanted ?

I think it's when your in a call and there's a box that shows the call time
The Xposed module G3 TweaksBox has this ability in the latest beta. It may only be available with the donate key, I'm not sure I already have the donate version.
