Okay, so T-Mobile USA "upgraded" their voicemail system yesterday. Aside from having to auto-enroll 5 times so far and create new passwords, the biggest change is that they no longer send a text message to notify of a new voicemail. On most handsets from other manufacturers, there is some kind of icon or notification when you get VM (my girlfriend's Nokia 3650 has a little icon that turns on.) I can't find anything similar on the PDA2K - nothing seems to happen when I receive a voicemail.
Has anyone else on USA T-Mobile figured out how to tell when they have a new voicemail? I've been missing my VM notifications all day and increasing the delay in returning phone calls.
Thanks!

phone t-mob?
most probably a problem on T-Mobile's end in that the notifications aren't getting sent to your phone to tell it u have a voicemail. The Blue Angel does have a voicemail icon... I'd give them a call and they'll probably sort you out with a SIM update for it.

Got my hspa nexus yesterday... nearly fainted when it arrived so soon. I ordered it from gum mobile, excellent fast service.
Slid in my T-Mobile sim card and instantly started rocking 5mg plus download speed... loving this!
Anyway, the only thing I cannot figure out is my voicemail situation... the voicemail notification icon came on, and it displaying my Google Voice number.
I confirmed that I have no unread voice mails on Google voice or my T-Mobile account... what am I missing?
Same here, except it's my regular carrier voicemail and not Google Voice. Stupid icon will not disappear, not after multiple factory resets, and entering my voicemail to check. Will have to get my carrier to reset on their end and see if that works.
Any success?
I have uninstalled google voice, called into my T-Mobile voicemail... reinstalled.
Let me know... driving me crazy.

I rebooted my phone with and it went away for me. I'm using tmobile too.
this is a very common issue with Google Voice and T-Mobile. i have it on my nexus one right now, but luckily i can clear it at boot, so it's not that annoying.
and as you can tell from this google search: https://www.google.com/search?q=t-m...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
it's a huge issue and there are many ways of fixing it, many of which for some people, like me, won't work.
Solved!
I turned off the google voice functionality (Make no calls), then changed the voicemail to carrier (phone>settings>voicemail service)... then unforwarded my phone through the Google Voice interface (settings>Deactivate Google voicemail on this phone)
Then... called my T-mobile number from the house phone, left a voicemail message, called my voicemail box from my GN (hold down the 1 key), listened to the message, deleted the message... bam! no more voicemail icon.

Called my carrier (Rogers) and had them do a reset on their end then pulled the battery for 2 minutes. Didn't appear to work at first so I left myself a voicemail, deleted it, and the notification disappeared right away. This didn't work prior to having the carrier do a reset.

interesting, becaue i tried the call and leave yourself a voicemail and it never worked for me.
kinda glad that i have a couple ways of trying to fix this now when my Gnex comes in this week.
As far as I can tell, if you have and use this feature regularly, you will not be able to use this feature on this phone unless rooting/romming fixes it. Something samsung has done has broken GVoice on ALL galaxy S3 devices. Some googling reveals that several users have reported issues w/ GS3 (sprint customer or not) and google voice.
Where to from here? Do I pack er up and send it all back to amazon? I'm tempted to. I originally wanted the Evo 4GLTE. I'm sure that works perfectly fine with the sprint feature I use the most. Sigh.
Mind elaborating on what's broken? I have gvoice and have had my s3 for about 3 weeks and while I see some issues, I've still been able to fully use it. Its the number I strictly use for work and so far so good.

The sprint integration allows you to use your main number AS a google voice number. That feature no longer works. :\ What it allowed me to do was to send a text from my device, and view/reply to it from the browser google voice interface.
I've deactivated for now and when I attempt to reactivate I get an error. I'm hoping someone chimes in who's had this problem, but it looks like I must be one of the few who converted over. Ugh
I got the same error, but I kept trying it over and over, and it eventually worked. I had an issue with calls not connecting correctly somewhere in between Google and Sprint, so I would get calls that were completely silent. However, I called Sprint and they completely reprogrammed everything on the back end, and I haven't had the problem since.

I spent many hours and shed tears (almost but not really) last night to no avail. Very very weird. You're right though. It finally worked. What I had to do was completely deactivate, reactivate while signed out on my phone. It's back now. Feels good.
Sorry to bug you guys, carry on.

The Sprint integration also works the other way... allowing you to use an original Google Voice (or even GrandCentral) number AS your Sprint Number.
That's how mine is set up, and I can call, text, receive calls, receive texts just as I did on my original Evo 4G without any issues.
Maybe it's just the one way that is screwed up?
If using GVoice, when you get a new phone, you should deactivate GVoice from the web page before switching your phone.
Switch phone, then reactivate.
Kind of a PITA, and neither Sprint nor Google cover swapping devices.

I used to do the same thing back with my Evo 4G.. but this time when I went to activiate my S3, since the website activation was down, I did so over the phone.
When the rep mentioned she was going to test my phone to see if it receives a call and leave a voicemail, I told her I would have to go to Google first and do the remove/reintegrate dance before she tried , and she said "That's no longer needed on the newer phones". She then called my Gvoice number, gvoicemail picked up and was sent to the Google voice app on the phone just like it should have.
Didn't need to touch a thing, I was quite impressed.
I understand what the op is referring to, I think. With Google voice integrated to your Sprint phone, and selecting gvoice to use your Sprint number as the primary number, you are then unable to:1. use the stock messaging app to receive messages, despite selecting 'use stock messenger' for text messages. All messages are now received thru Google voice widget. 2. You are unable to select 'do not disturb' in this configuration either, which I find unacceptable given the dog**** airline I work for and the harassment we receive on the phone (sorry that's another story). I had to skip the integration portion and use gvoice separate from Sprint so I could retain those features. For those of you who are switching back and forth, integrated and not, I found that it can take up to an hour for the network to catch up. So if you switch one way and want to switch immediately back, you may have to wait.

Sprint is currently experiencing a technical difficulty which prevents new users from integrating their Sprint accounts with Google Voice. Also, users who have disabled the integration cannot re-enable Google Voice/Sprint integration at this time.
Please know that they are hard at work on a solution.
Taken from http://support.google.com/voice/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=known_issues.cs
same issues other people are describing. I use my google voice number (not my Sprint number) as the outgoing displayed number. Right now initiating calls from my phone display my sprint number and not my google number. Tried disabling from the web interface and it told me that Sprint was undergoing maintenance. bah.
I just had my SEP changed to the Everything 450 yesterday, and my GV integration stopped working. I went online and tried to reassociate, and I keep getting a back-end failure, and that I need to call Sprint. Is this the same problem that you guys have been experiencing for months? If so, I feel like I am screwed...
yep, had the same prob when I first got my phone about a month ago. When I tried to make a call, my real sprint number would show. I searched through the google voice app to see if I had somehow skipped the settings of "ask everytime I make a call" blah blah, couldnt find it. Then I thought it was something messed up in the new google voice app since I couldnt find my backup (older) google voice app.
I eventually called sprint, and they reprovisioned my phone, and everything was working fine.
I just flashed my phone a few days ago to get root and the freegs3 rom, and now everything is borked again. Which is confusing the hell out of me, because my phone is already reprovisioned, and flashing roms usually do not interfere with such settings. Looks like Im going to have to call sprint again.
I did write down the instructions they gave me the 1st time, but I cant find that either, so much for being organized.
Unable to recieve calls due to Google Voice
So I have a slightly different issue than most have reported. My wifes number would not come through to my phone. Even after multiple reboots and changing all kinds of other settings. I finally deactivated VOICE and she could suddenly call me. The strange thing was it was completely functional for some other numbers to call me, but the wife could not.
Any ideas? Or is Google Voice just pretty much borked across the board for S3 phones right now?
Ok, after flashing a rom, Im having the same probs again. Called Sprint to reprovision, and they told me its an Google Voice outtage, which I know cant be right cause this thread would be flooded. Im convinced the tech isnt techy. After he gave me this ##code, my phone updated profile, and updated prl. Now, my internet isnt working at all, 3g or 4g. He said he would call back in 2 hours, and said the systems should be up no later than 1pm tomorrow. I called to get google voice back working, not to loose more functionality of my phone! This isnt acceptable.
So, any other ideas?
I was getting furious with Sprint over this problem... I believe they finally fixed it when they reset my plan completely. Moved me to ED450 from the broken SEP. I can guarantee you the problem is on Sprint's side, and not Google's.

apologies for my injections and slight angle change. I LOVE google voice but can not really use it (use it with groove ip very nice I might at)
my problem is google voice REFUSES to let me turn off voicemail or greatly extend the "answer time" for voicemail.
when routing gvoice to a landline the "delay" factor is very small to near instant. I have no landlines all cellular and the "delay time" to cellular is simply "HUGE"
long enough that I had had my phone ring "momentarily" and just stop. not even enough time for me to pick it up.
what happens? the delay time is SO LONG from when it "connects" to when my phone actually "rings" that the call is transferred to VOICE-MAIL before I can answer it.
that renders it nearly useless for me. ever since google neutered their voice mail (no custom mp3 messages anymore) I just don;t have a use for it AND I want to get my calls. not have to call them back every time.
SO does anyone know how to either turn off voicemail all together on google voice OR extended the "time" it waits before going to voicemail so my phones have a chance to RING longer IE so I can answer them.?
Hey guys.
I have an E250K note II phone (purchased from Korea). I had all sorts of problems with it
- korean apps that i couldnt remove (even after rooting)
- voicemail option (number 1 button), does not work
- OLLEH logo on bootup
- when i get a call, and reject it, it hangs up on the caller, not forward to the VM (my mobile provided reset my account 5 times, no help)
all sort of things
now i installed the Milan 3.0 ROM, and it was magic, EVERYTHING got fixed, with the exception of, receiving a call, and rejecting it
I think it is a feature in the ROM that i cannot find out a solution for
I think the Milan ROM is a chinese one, but it is way better than the stock korean one
So now, what i am looking for, is if someone calls me and i cant pickup, and i swipe the reject button, i want the caller to be able to go to voicemail, instead of hanging up on them
when i even look at the call log, it shows, "cancelled" as the call status
I am not looking for google voicemail or something like that..
i just want the basic functionality of the phone to work i guess.
so i am pretty sure there is something, a hack, or something that would allow the forward calls when busy to VM
when not available or unreachable, it takes the caller normally to VM, it is the call forward when busy is what i am having trouble with
Any help with that, i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
wow 86 views.. and no one knows....
I seriously need help from anyone please.
Thanks
I'm interested in this too. I wasn't aware that rejected calls didn't go to voice mail until recently and that's not what I wanted to happen.
Edit:
Hmm. Maybe this depends on where the call originates from. I just tried calling my phone from Skype and call reject sent it to voicemail, but when I get a forwarded call from work it just hangs up.
Can anyone else confirm?

anyone cares to chime in and tells us something on how to fix this?
is this caused by ROM maybe?
I tried a US rom made for the 7105 models, (i didnt install the modem), and the voicemail option VANISHED, got back to the original rom i had, VM is back, but back to square one, which is hanging up on rejected calls, normal calls that is.
So I am running bliss rom Marshmellow I looked at blocklist setting and its empty so I assume its not my end. they are both with wind mobile but every time they phone me it goes straight to voicemail I am with virgin mobile.
So after a week of this happening I phoned virgin they claim its winds problem so they were going to run some tests wind says nothing wrong on there end Ps I do not use any sorta blacklisting app.
The funny thing is I can phone them no problem. and I can recieve calls from anyone except my parents who like I said use wind. It makes no sense to me.
They have tried leaving voicemails to but I don't get them with virgin mobile. Yet I do get every voicemail from everyone else who phones me.
So virgin phoned me back and now claims its an issue with wind...

Go to the Contacts app, to the relevant contacts. Press the 3 dots button on the top, and make sure that "All calls to voicemail" isn't checked by mistake. This is a different settings from the Blacklist.

Hello thanks for the response I have looked at that already and it is not checkmarked for both contacts so I am not sure what's going on... Wind claims its not there end and so does virgin.
I'm sorry, I don't have any other ideas. Maybe you installed some kind of antivirus app, and it has a blacklist feature?
