Voicemail Speed Dial not sticking

I use Youmail for my voicemail. I can't seem to set the voicemail speed dial key to use youmail's access number and get it to stick after a soft reset. I go to the Phone Settings, choose Services, then "Voice Mail and Text Messages". The phone then says it is reading the settings from the network and displays T-Mobile's voicemail access number under the "Voice Mail:" field. I change this to youmail's number, and click ok. The phone then says it's sending the information to the network. At this point the voicemail speed dial key correctly dials youmail's access number as long as I don't reset my phone.
Does anyone know how to make this setting stick?
Every ROM I've tried has this problem. I never tried doing this on the stock ROM, so I don't know if it's a problem with the custom ROMs or a T-Mobile problem.

Dash and GoogleVoice

I've been messing around with my GV number and i've been looking for a way to make it so that all unanswered calls on my phone go to the GV voicemail.
I've tired using unconditional forwarding.. like i believe its *61*GVnumber# i could be wrong though..
Has anyone else got this to work?

I think it will work as long as you do not have your mobile number set up as part of the GV ring list. You will end up with a loop.

Can anyone ever get the call forwarding options in the settings to save?
I've never got it to say anything but an error.

Just change your t-mobile voicemail number to your google voice number on your Dash

after looking in to it i noticed something i overlooked. If you on a flexpay account like i am then tmobile has forwarding disabled. i guess if i want that feature to work ill have to get a contract, unless i wait till project dark is announced

Actually i did try this and it worked... until i noticed that the no reply option in call forwarding is set to a custom number that's very close to my orginal voice mail number..

Hey guys, I was reading this article earlier about Google Voice...it made me wish I had it. Check it out:
http://lifehacker.com/5382770/make-unlimited-free-calls-on-your-cellphone-with-google-voice?skyline=true&s=i
I also read that they're now letting members invite people.
This might be a [email protected] question but, if you like the article what are the chances one of you might invite me? Hahaha, sorry if it is but I just had to ask!

I have a google voice account. It doesn't seem that the invite feature is available (to me atleast). Realize that unlike with G-Mail, inviting is tougher with Google Voice because Google could always pay forward and expand their ever-so-gigantic server space, but there are a limited number of available phone numbers. Due to that exact fact, I feel like Google Voice may NEVER become fully accessible to everyone unless we adopt an 11 Digit or more phone number. That is just my opinion, as horrible as it may see, although I really do HOPE that everyone gets to use Google Voice. So far from my experience it is awesome!

Thanks for the info Cyclone. You're right, it probably won't be available for everyone. But according to the Google Voice Blog referenced below you and every other account holder will get three invites...eventually. Just to begin with.

Thanks again

On your blog, you mention that following GV's instructions (for T-Mobile Dash) will make your GV number the number called when you press and hold "1", i.e. your GV number becomes your VM number. I did *not* find that to be the case. Does anyone else have the same experience?

You are getting it wrong. That link works, I can attest to that because I did it myself. When you call VoiceMail on your phone (by holding 1) it is preset to call the TMOBILE voicemail, which will have nothing in it. What the set-up does is change the configuration to forward missed calls etc. to the google number. If you want to access that Voicemail, you have to set the Keypress (or whatever) to call your google voice number.

does anyone know if this can work with a Flex-Pay Account with Tmobile?....I find there's an error when imputting the code to change voicemail settings setup.

As I stated in my blog "if you change your service providers voicemail number in your device settings to your Google Voice number it will automatically call your Google Voice number when you press and hold the 1 key (T-mobile)."
This means after you have set everything else up (by entering the code given to you by Google in Google Voice) YOU have to manually change the voicemail number in your Devices settings to your google voice number, in the Dash 3G it is under call options.

Google Voice

Anyone have any difficulty setting google voice as their voicemail option?
I loaded the GV app, went through the sign in and choosing when to use my GV number... but when it comes to what voicemail option I prefer using (regular or GV) I don't see where to select GV. I also tried calling the *28mynumber in the initial voicemail option settings, but it rings a few times then hangs up.
Any ideas?

I believe there are more options to setup GV voicemail when accessed via webpage vs Gv app.
To fix the stock voicemail, contact sprint and they can reset it for you within minutes

Everything is set up right via the webpage... I just can't get to the usual screen that gives one the option to select which voicmail I want to use, GV or the one that is on the phone.
Does Samsung not allow it's phones to change the voicemail settings?

You don't need to set it in the phone. Once you run through the install of the Google Voice app just make sure on the GV webpage is has your phone number set to use GV as your voicemail and your all set. I was worried about this too as my EVO has the option to change voicemail providers.

Awesome, thanks!
One question, have you ever gotten a call to your non GV number and have it go straight to voicemail? I was testing what you put above, and the first couple of times the test call went straight to GV.

Hmm not sure on that. My first test the phone rang out like normal and then went to voicemail. Check the GV website under Settings>Phone>Edit Mobile>Show Advanced and check at the bottom where it says Forwarding Options and lists Ring my other devices or go straight to voicemail.

Has anybody gotten Google Voice to work properly?

I have an AT&T SGS3, when I try to set up Google Voice as the default voicemail, it crashes when it tries to change the voicemail settings. I get an error through the Phone app and also through Google Voice's setup wizard. Any ideas or legit work arounds?

What happens exactly? I was having a problem where it said something to the effect of not being able to retrieve the forwarding number (I don't remember exactly). As a work-around, I ended up configuring call forwarding (to my google voice number) for when the call is not answered which worked for me.

You have to do it manually. Visit voice.google.com, settings, and click "Activate GVoice on this phone" for the popup that gives you the dialcode similar to: "*004*<insertGoogleVoiceNumberGoesHere>#"
(It'll work, but, it now takes 60 seconds to forward to voice mail, and can't change it)

I'm having the same issue. I've tried to see if there was a conflict with AT&T Messages and AT&T visual Voicemail, removed both, no progress. I will keep messing with it until I get something to work. I'll keep you posted.

Known issue... Its all over this forum if you use the search function.

I'm having the same issue, I also got it to work by manually changing the forwarding numbers but the phone still thinks "my carrier" is the voicemail service, so long pressing 1 on the dialer doesn't take me to google voice and the voicemail integration with the system dialer isn't working either. I also tried entering the *004*<insertGoogleVoiceNumberGoesHere># in the dialer, which seemed to work since there were no errors but the phone still lists "my carrier" as the voicemail service.
I called both AT&T and Samsung tech support and neither were able to "fix it". This was working fine on my cappy with CM9, so I may just move on to CM10 cause I suspect it is something with the Samsung touchwiz framework causing the issue.

I too am having the same problem, both stock rom and Ultimatum rom.
I can forward my number from the website version of Google voice from my computer, but required device voicemail configuration doesn't work. When you click configure it thinks for a second, then it says com.android.phone has crashed.
I tested the voicemail by calling myself, and it did go to my Google Voicemail and I left a message, however it never notifies me that I have a voicemail, even when I open the app, I have to actually hit refresh within the app.
When holding 1 on the keypad it goes to my AT&T voicemail, not like I'd ever use this method with Google voice being all it actually does is calls yourself, but this confirms it's not fully working.
When I go into the phone app, go to menu and click call settings, I scroll down toe voicemail service and choose Google Voice, hit yes when it asks to change to new provider, and I get an error saying "Forwarding number change failed"

After doing the forwarding it should work fine. If you have issues with it try doing it again and clearing data on Google voice.

Also see if you got visual voicemail allocated to your line. If you do, call att to revert you back to regular voicemail... it'll work then.

Easy way to do it :
1. Go to Phone and then Call Settings
2. Go to Call Forwarding and then Voice Calls
3. Change the number for every type of forward except the first one (that's all calls) to your Google Voice number
4. Go to Voice mail Settings and tap number so you can change it to GV number
Now GV will handle voice mails and hitting 1 will dial GV.
Enjoy.

After manually editing all the call forward options and voicemail number, GV is mostly working now including long press on 1 and use of the voicemail icon on the dialer however, the one remaining issue I'm having is with the call log showing the GV bridge number instead of the person I actually called.

Did you chose an option to use GV for ALL calls?
Regarding what ID to show - check from your computer on voice.google.com settings page (Calls tab) in section Caller ID (both incoming and outgoing) - is it what you want?

You don't have to remove ATT Visual Voicemail to have Google Voice work. I had it on my old phone, and my current phone, and GV works fine (except for the fixed 60 delay) using the manual dialcode forwarding method.

I have Google Voice working on my SIII. As many of you have seen, if you try to set up Google voice via their app, you eventually get an error message.
To get around this message, simply set up Google Voice online (on your computer). It works like a charm.

^^^ what Death&Co said. You cannot do it through the phone. You need to log into your voice account online, deactivate the phone. It will tell you to type in some numbers on your phones dialer. When that is done, restartour phone and then go back to the web and activate the phone for Google voice. Again it will tell you to enter in some numbers on your dialer. Once you do that it will be setup correctly.
DO NOT USE THE APP ON YIUR PHONE TO SET UP GOOGLE VOICE.

ecapox's method worked for me. One thing though - the number I put in the call-forwarding settings on my phone is NOT my GV number, but the number the GV website shows when I log in and click activate (ie the *004*<somenumber># - which isn't my GV number).
The voicemail number - the one to designate when you long-push 1 on the phone - is the GV number.
Hope that helps someone!

[Q] Forwarding to Google Voice Mail

Hi all,
I tried searching for this here but I couldn't find anything useful.
For all the Nexus phones I've had in the past, I've always used GV. All of my voicemails get forwarded there. For some reason, I can't do it with the GS3. Even the Call Forwarding option is greyed out in the phone settings. I'm on the latest UVALH2 and rooted. I'm thinking that they purposely disabled this feature so we have to subscribe to T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail.
If anyone has an answer, please let me know.
thanks,
Phong

So you've gotten on a PC and went to google voice?

Try this:
1. Open the Phone app and go to the Keypad.
2. Dial: *004* (that's Star Zero Zero Four Star) then your full GV number with country code, then #.
3. Press the green phone button to dial.
So, an example would be: *004* 12025551212#
This turns on Conditional Forwarding. GV setup should work fine after this.

This is what i did to get mine working....the app alone wont activate it. do the above. id clear the cache for the voice app, start over with above and you should be cherry.

I found out that if you are trying to forward TMob voice mail to GV over wifi, it will not go through.
When I tried it over the usual cell connection, it went through on the first try. Hope this helps.

Nothing of the above worked for me on CM10. I got it work by doing this:
Open your Dialer, then Settings > Call Forward. Change all numbers to your GV number. Then go to Voicemail settings and change it to GV there as well.
Hope that helps.

I had to add an extra * in front of *004* for mine to register; otherwise I'd get a call forwarding error.

To all,
I got this working but I had to put my SIM card in my Nexus S then dialed the *004*...
