I have flashed the Deepshining custom rom V7.76 right now, but I've had an issue with visual voicemail since an earlier rom as well (don't remember version). When I listen to messages in Visual voicemail, it automatically uses the speakerphone to play back messages rather than the handset speaker. Even if I press the speaker button it does not switch back and forth. How do I fix this?
I did a search and turned up nothing and tried asking in the deepshining thread but no response. I assume I had to make this thread to get my issue looked at.

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
Upgrade to 2.2 with radio, but I am having a weird problem. Phone shows I am registered on ATT, and can make calls, receive texts and send texts, however receiveng calls is sporadic. Most of the time the phone does not show an incoming call. I find if I go to the settings menu and re-register on ATT I can receive a call or two, but then it stops. As I said however I can always make calls and send/receive texts. It always shows good signal and edge connection. Any Idea where to start troubleshooting.
What I have done:
Disable google voice in case this was causing problems.
Nand restore back to Cyanogen and flash old radio - Everything works
YES!!! I was having this crazy problem with receiving call also! In fact that's what I was searching for when I found your post.
My receiving calls were very sporadic... and the incoming calls would NEVER ring! I would see the incoming call on my display... but I would get NO sound, even with the sound rockers turned all the way up!
I went back to Cyan's ROM cause it was totally unacceptable.
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
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App
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.
So basically,
If I'm on a call over bluetooth, or on speakerphone, everything works fine until I have another call come in. Whether I decline the call or let it go to voicemail, the current call I have goes to handset audio. I can bring it back to bluetooth or speaker phone by changing to to handset, then back to bluetooth or speakerphone.
This has been happening since I got the phone, and even after a factory reset. It's absolutely killing me. I wanted to see if anyone has had this happen to have the same issue.
So after going through a second phone and being able to replicate the issue, I learned that something happened with Skype that caused this to happen. I believe it to be something to do with having Google Voice automatically roll over to Skype when I don't answer my primary number. I have since disabled it and everything seems to be working fine!
I've had my HTC M8 H/K edition on Sprint 1 week now. I dont get a lot of calls, but I just realized my phone has a problem answering calls. The phone rings. When I answer the call, it picks up, and then there's just silence. No audio in or out. The caller hears nothing; I hear nothing. There is no problem when i make outgoing calls, just answering incoming calls. Anyone else heard of this issue?
I should add. Stock Rom, Unlocked Bootloader, Root, S-On
Here's an update -- It seems to be a problem with Google Voice. I read in another post that google talk installed on a PC might contribute to the problem as it is delivering the call to the app first. I removed google voice from my phone, and then reboot. Issue is gone, we'll see what happens when i reinstall google voice.

Same here with me...
what should be done..
?
I uninstalled google voice for now.
So I narrowed down the issue a bit further. It has to do with whether or not I'm on LTE. I still think Google voice might be interfering. But something is different with how the call is delivered when i'm on LTE. When I set my phone to CDMA only, the call rings, i answer it and everything is fine. When i turn back on LTE. The call rings, i answer it and it's dead air. No voice in or out. Really weird.
Other things I've tried. Wifi Off/On, no difference. Signed out of my google/gvoice accounts. I also disabled the feature to deliver calls to Google talk/hangouts. Maybe it takes a while for the settings to take effect.
I have the same issue completely stock HTC one with latest OTA updates and Google Voice I can only receive phone calls when I am on CDMA doesnt work on WIFI or 4G.
