When I get calls and answer them,it asks me if I'd like to receive this call. It then asks to press 1 if I want to talk. How do I get rid of that ?
EDITED:
I figured it out,it was google voice screening. I just turned off the screening feature.

I use Google voice as my voice mail. After changing to cm7 I cannot return calls that come in through Google Voice. Example: Someone calls and leaves a voice mail. I listen to the voice mail then attempt to call them back. When I select menu and call, the phone attempts to dial but never starts to ring. After 30-60 seconds I here busy signals. I can manually type the number into the dialer but this is not ideal. Any idea as to why I cannot press the call button in google voice to call back numbers who left a voice mail message?
Thank you!
Do you get a +1 in front of the number? I had that problem before too and eventually came to an error message. I wish I could recall how I fixed it, but double check that to make sure you're not dialing too much.
The main reason I don't use Google Voice is because it requires a 3G signal in order to place or receive a call, that might be your problem- not sure. Never heard of a Google Voice issue specific to CM7, I think the problem may be in another area- but I'm not sure.
I have a question about google voicemail. I have finally decided to use it instead of the sprint voicemail. I activated from my browser(voicemail only I didn't integrate google voice) and dialed the long number it told me to dial. I tested it and it works but there are 2 things I noticed about it and I was wondering if there is any way to change them. I set google voice up to notify me via the status bar. When I pull down the notification and tap it, it takes me to the sms app. Is there anyway to change this so that it takes me to the google voice app without making google voice my default sms app? The second thing is that when I dial my voice mail from my phone by either pressing and holding the number 1 on the key pad or saying voicemail on the voice dialer, it calls the sprint voicemail and it tells me welcome to sprint voicemail and that I have not setup my voicemail. Is there anyway to get it to default to dialing my google voicemail instead? I know the google voicemail is working because when I dial my cell phone and it drops into voicemail I hear the greating I recorded. Also if I manually go to the voice app, the voice message is there and I can play it.
You can change what number you dial with 1 in call settings. Google Voice works best with the app.
Turn off text notifications in your Google Voice settings to get rid of the notification problem.
So, I get a phone call, and I swipe to answer, but I get an automated voice that says, 'Call from (caller) ... if you'd like to answer, press 1'. Now, while I don't mind the screening, is there a way to disable that? I find myself missing calls because of it.

Thats not the normal behavior for stock Sprint dialers. Are you running the stock ROM? Are you using google voice?
You have call screening turned on in Google Voice. You need to change the settings on the google voice site.
I've found it. It's a G-Voice issue.
I'm on root box using Google voice for voicemail. Every time I receive a call I have to answer the call then press 1 on the number pad to actually answer the call. I don't know whether this is a function of the dialer or Google voice but is there anyway to bypass this feature?

go to google voice website and disable call forwarding... while your there might want to adjust all the settings to your liking i hate google voice for that reason you cant just plug and play you have to set it up and god forbid if you want to stop using it you have to go back to the website and turn it off... thats why i always use the sprint voicemail and blacklist 9016
Is it possible to get Google Voice setup to handle voicemail? I've spent a while playing around and searching, but can't seem to get this working. I am on the Verizon version, but not sure if that makes a difference.
I can receive calls from someone dialing my GV number, and if they have called that number and leave a voicemail, they get my GV greeting and I get the vm/notification in the Hangouts app, as I expect. However, if someone calls my carrier number and leaves a vm, I cannot get this to go to my GV at all.
I don't remember having to do much of anything to get this set up on my LG G4. Am I missing something easy here?

I haven't had to do this for quite a while, but this is what I used to do to get Google Voice working on my Verizon phone.
If you are having trouble configuring Google Voice as your voicemail service on Verizon you can
make the switch manually by dialing all three of these activation codes:
*71[Your Google Voice number] This turns on Conditional Forwarding, which should transfer
calls to your Google Voice number*when your Verizon phone is busy or unanswered after 3 to 6
rings.
*90[Your Google Voice number] This turns on Busy Transfer, which transfers all calls that
would hear a busy signal to your Google Voice number.
*92[Your Google Voice number] This turns on No Answer Transfer, which transfers all calls
unanswered after 3 to 6 rings to your Google Voice number.
To Deactivate the Call Forwarding, dial *73 [Send]
To Deactivate the Busy Transfer, dial *900 [Send]
To Deactivate the No Answer Transfer, dial *902 [Send]
**** if calls not ringing to phone, uninstall Google voice, Deactivate all, install and setup Google
voice, setup
forwarding again, test calling phone to make sure it rings and Google voicemail works. ***

Thank you, Brokenbit!
*71+GV number did the trick.
I first set all 3 forwardings, and things acted weird. It would forward out to my GV greeting but then cut out part way through. I disabled all and then only enabled using the *71+GV and things are working correctly.
