Delay answering incoming phone calls?

Every time my wife calls she says she can't hear me for perhaps 2-3 seconds after I think the call has connected.. My previous phone did not do this, but the Nexus One does.
Anyone heard of this, and have any suggestions? I have Google Voice call on by default, but she's calling my cell number so I don't think it'd affect anything. As far as I can tell, the call is connected, but she can't hear me say anything for several seconds. I usually wind up going "Hello? Hello? Hello?" and she finally answers.

Glad to see I am not the only one this happens to..well not glad but i just hope this means its not just my phone.
I know when they call one of my numbers (either Google Voice or Cell Phone # not sure which) it says incoming call from <Name> press 1 to answer and press 2 to send to voicemail

@sandtiger
this is from google voice it is a filter setting you can change by going to to the setting on the google voice website.
But this is a different issue (im assuming) then the OP

Yeah, I think I muddied the waters mentioning Google Voice, but these are calls directly to me cell number..
I might try disabling Google Voice just for S&G just to see what happens.. Seems when I place calls, they're connected when I expect them to be, but the delay could be more critical when answering.
I haven't yet, but going to try calling myself from my work phone to see what kind of delay I'm hearing.

I am having this problem also...did you ever find a solution?

Using BT headset by any chance?
In that case, it's normal.

Nope, no headset. Just the phone.

I need to test some more, but I think this has gone away for me.. Delay answering, plus the other party was "dropping out" often, ie: if it got quiet on their end, their voice disappeared entirely, and sometimes faded in or out while doing so.
Only thing I've changed is I disabled Google Voice as being my default call method, but this thread is about answering calls so I doubt it matters, especially since the calls were directly to my cell number not my GV number.
I might turn GV back on the way I had it and test some more, but maybe it was something weird with AT&T?

Im noticing this problem too, both on 2.1 and 2.2.
It seems to be a problem specific to AT&T N1's.

I also experience this. I've adjusted to swiping the answer button, pausing, then saying "Hello." I typically pause about 0.75 or 1 full second, and rarely do I need to do it longer.
The opposite seems to be true of the vibrate-on-connect feature: about 1 second after the person picks up, then the phone vibrates in my hand. How is that useful?! =P

[Q] Google Voice Troubles.

I am setting up both my and my wife''s phone on Google voice. This is what I am running into:
setup
Both phones set to use Google Voice for calling and voice mail
Both phones do have the Google Voice number in the address book for each other.
The Issues
The scenario for these is letting it go to voice mail.
Sometimes on the calling phone, I do not hear a ring from the other phone, and nothing from the answering voice mail either. If I hold on for a bit listening, finally hang up, then the phone called will get a blank voice mail. The phone I am calling from continues to say 'Dialing' until I hang up. This seems to be happening on only one of the phones. (May find otherwise with more testing).
On the phone being called, when I try to use the slide up to have it send a message when rejecting a call, (for example "Sorry, will call you back",) the message is never received on the other end. Of course I would expect that message to go to Google Voice. Is that set to use SMS only? (I do not have SMS service). This happens no matter which phone is calling the other. Never is the message received. I have not tested it with a phone calling that in fact has SMS capability.
Any thoughts?

[Q] Anyone able to transfer calls with Froyo?

With Eclair, transferring calls was super easy, just parked the first conversation, called the other one up, and pushed "Transfer" (or something similar).
It seems like this option is gone in Froyo, I can set up a conference call, but as soon as i hang up, it hangs up for everyone.

Been wondering how to do this too, and so far no solution..
Anyone?

Call transfer seems to be only half-functional.
Here is how far I came:
1) call someone
2) add a call, dial the number
3) while still ringing select keys ("tastenfeld")
4) you will see that the green button in the lower left part of the screen reads "Send" now
5) push the "4" and "Send"
6) the call is beeing transferred
If the number you want to transfer to picks up before you can push the "4"+"Send" combination a conference call is established and I found no way to transfer the call from there.
I would be very grateful for s solution on how to perform a call transfer from within a conference call.

Testet out another dialer today at work, managed to transfer a call by:
1. calling person #1.
2. switching to "dialer one"
3. calling person #2.
4. switching dialer
5. pressing "4", call button.
I'm guessing you can use "Dialer one" as default, but didn't really like it that much, so I'll just keep switching if I need to transfer anyone.
Still better than giving the incalling person the number, and asking them to call themself.
Edit: Didn't see previous post, basically the same method, but dialer one let you transfer calls after the 2nd person answers.

Any better solution when the second call is picked up?
Thanks

i am also looking for the solution to this problem

google voice: either rings forever or fails

Hey guys,
I use Google Voice as my forwarding voicemail. I'm on Sprint. And I've been having a lot of problems with my voicemail for a long time. Thought I'd see if you guys have any idea how to fix.
When people call and I don't want to pick up, the phone will ring several times, stop, then ring another several times again. To the caller, it sounds like the phone is ringing 10+ times, and so most people just think I'm on the other line or my VM is broken and don't leave a message.
In the past, I've tried flashing a sense rom and that usually accomplishes a minor improvement: If people are willing to let the phone ring for 10+ times, Google Voice will kick in with my voicemail. But the issue of the phone ringing forever doesn't seem to be solved. I've called Sprint and they have no clue what to do with a "rooted" phone (I didn't say it was rooted, of course).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I'm also on sprint and use GV as my voicemail provider. I've had the exact situation you described off-and-on for quite some time. Callers also occasionally get an error message from google saying my number has been disconnected. This is an EXTREMELY frustrating as I really like GV extra functionality yet hate these random problems. I've searched the all over and lots of people seem to have this same issues.
One possible solution that seems to help some (yet sadly not me) is to turn OFF 'Call Screening' via GV's web interface. Settings->Calls->Call Screening
It's supposed to go 'straight to voicemail' whenever your Sprint # forwards the call to the GV #. The GV# isn't supposed to ring at all. (Mine still seems to sometimes)

glad to know I'm not alone!
I do have that call screening setting turned off already, sadly. Doesn't seem to make a bit of difference.

seems i read someone post the set the do not disturb option on and it helped.

I had the same problem and I had to change my Google # to fix it.,. Ill try to find the link for instructions and post later

I think enabling "Do Not Disturb" did the trick from the Google Voice app on the Hero.
just had my roommate call me and it went straight to voicemail!!! It still rang a few times (like it should) and then, instead of pausing and ringing again, it just went straight to google voice.
I'll update if something goes wrong but until then, thank you dpeeps!

Thx man I've never heard that one before! I'll give it a shot.

Try youmail from the market

If you still haven't found a solution
My phone was ringing up to 12 times sometimes! This did the trick:
Well I guess I can't post links if I am new member until I have eight posts under my belt, so just google the article: "Techerator and How to Prevent Extra Rings using Google Voice as Voicemail"

*Solution*
^ this article does have the fix, and here it is:
1. Go to Google Voice in your web browser
2. Settings
3. Phones
4. The "Edit" button under your phone
5. Show Advanced Settings
6. Select the radio button "Go straight to voicemail" (instead of "Ring my other phones before going to voicemail").
7. Save. Problem should be solved.

Make Calls as Watch? No SIM?

So, how do I get the phone to make I call when I activate OK Google and say, Call "Jim" etc.
Presently, as I am not using the SIM and disabled the cellular network it will tell me I need to turn off airplane mode. I though I had it figured out when I set it to forward calls to my phone, however I think that is intended for when both have a SIM. It seems like a massive oversight if this is not possible, given the fact that the Style does not have the HR monitor and Fit. The two reasons, other than the spinning selector, I went with this model over the style.

I have cellular turned off, and if I say "ring Fred", it immediately calls Fred through my tethered smartphone.
If there are multiple phone numbers attached to a contact, it then does not dial straightaway, but asks which number to dial first.
Whether I use the phrase "ring" or "call" it does not matter, works with both phrases.

I know this is an old thread but did you figure out how to initiate a phone call on the tethered phone without the sound coming through the watch?...I want to say"ok Google call Bill" and have my phone call Bill and not hear it through my watch. If I disable call audio on my phone then the watch says check blutooth connection...this seems rediculous that Mt Sony SW3 can easily intiate my phone to call any contact through ok Google but my lg watch sport wants to blare my conversation from my wrist.

Is the LG call app installed from the PS
