[Q] Voice announcement rather than ring on incoming call?

When I first got my Epic, on an incoming phone call, there would be a voice announcement of either someone on my contact list or a phone number if not on my contact list. I don't remember if this came this way or if somehow a friend of mine set it up this way. Anyway, after I installed the leaked dk28 or sometime after, the phone now does not do voice announcement-is just rings. How can I get back the voice announcement?
Thanks in advance
Go into settings, accessibility and then check talk-back

Thanks for the reply. That program was not installed so I installed it. But now the Epic talks about everything. hahhahah. I just want the Epic to announce phone calls. Thank you again.
I know that its in the stock Tom by default. You could try Vlingo too. I know that you can configure it to read just calls, text, emails, or all of them. It doesn't announce EVERYTHING like talkback does

Go into settings...text to speech....and then speak incoming caller ID.

I tried this too but could not find the above and I really spent a lot of time looking at all the settings but to no avail. Maybe they left it out in Froyo 2.2 that I installed??
There is an app called talking caller id

Google Voice calls only

I am trying to set up my un-activated Continuum to only use Google voice for all calls. I have gone into the Voice settings and tried setting it to make all calls through Voice and set to ask. Neither way work. They all try to use Verizon to place the calls, and not receiving any. I have EC09debinged rom installed. I wonder if it is not working because the phone is looking for a carrier activiation, but I told it to use Voice only. Any ideas?
Are you trying on Wifi?

I am using WiFi. I can do everything else, but make and receive calls.

In order to make calls you're going to need a separate app called groove Ip. There's a lite and full version.

Well this one was mostly made for google voice and it could be quiet useful.
I installed Groove IP and it works the way that I would like. Thanks a lot!

Also if you're having trouble receiving your calls go to settings on your google voice *pc* and click call forwarding to google chat. Not your phone.

install the google voice app, then set it up to use your google voice number when maling calls via your default dialer.
I have installed the Google voice app and and I'm using the stock dialer... Gvoice is using the number i want and I'm texting from that... I just don't see where to set it up to make calls from that number ... It was ported from a Sprint account, and on the actual google voice account page it has a sprint logo on it...anything special I need to do?

from sprint i have no idea. but i have it set to ask me which number to use every time before i call. that option comes up when you first install google voice, as youre setting it up.
I can't help you with Sprint Google Voice integration. With regular Google Voice you just set it up in google.com/voice, in the Calls tab of Settings.
Then make calls using the Google Voice app. Or you can use GrooveIP or Talkatone.

Have you tried the settings in GVoice app? Do you see "Making calls"? If yes, select that and then choose "Ask every time when making calls" then the app will ask each time you make a call or "use GVoice for all calls"
Using the Google Voice app is the way to go, when you set it up remember to select "Ask every time" or "Use every time" and when you enter a number or dial from your contact directory, it must have all 10 digits or the GV app won't route the call, even on a local call...
Google Voice turned on:
Dial 222-1234 - Goes out via carrier
Dial 202-222-1234 - Goes out via Google Voice
For some reason people just don't seem to get that sometimes.
so what had happened was I installed the app first, and didnt bring my tmo number in because i thought there was a charge for that. I later added it on the website when i realized there wasn't, and because i had already set up the app i never got that prompt you guys were talking about. So I cleared the data on the app and then it asked me what i wanted to make calls from. Thanks for the help.

Is there a ny answering machine which can send pre recorded voice messages to the caller when the phone is busy or in silent mode
Kindly reply
Thanking You
I have also been looking for this, too cheap to pay for voicemail and google voice isn't available in canada. If anyone developed one I'd buy it, theres one app in the play store but it doesn't work with qualcomm devices:/

Remote Type App

Anyone know of an app I can install and remotely (using a PC) hangup the current conversation?
Some persons who shall remain unnamed seem to be giving their friends my phone number then talk for an hour on my phone!
I've got airdroid installed and was able to cause a loud ring to the phone but really nothing else.
I'm using a rooted Nexus 6P running Resurrection Remix ROM.
I've gotten a few of the numbers calling and added them to my block list but if I could hang it up, that would be cool.
Route everything through Google voice.

Can someone point me in the direction of a guide that explains how to set up routing in Google Voice? I've been using it for years, but only as voicemail....thanks guys.
