google voice problem - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a problem with Google voice. I had cm rom isntalled and setup Google voice as my voicemail. Now I switched back to myns ron and that is still my default voicemail and I don't like it. How do I switch back? I already tried going into setting,call but no luck. Anyone? Thanks.

Dial *38 and wait for it to beep and then disconnect. That should clear out the forwarding.

Thank you that worked out star 38

[Q] Google Voice

I had MIUI Rom with Google Voice installed as my voicemail. I recently switched to Myns Rom. OK, i uninstalled Google Voice because i want to use Sprint Voice, but every time i get a voicemail it keeps going to Google. My question is how do i make Sprint be my voicemail carrier?
You need to go to your google voice account on the web and disable google voicemail for your phone number in the settings.
That worked. Thanks

Resetting Voicemail

Guys so a few nights ago I gave up trying to get VVM to work on CM7 nightly and moved to google voice. Some how one thing or another happened and I got the little voicemail icon at the top of the screen. I mistakenly dialed my own number and setup a pin for voicemail. Now when someone calls my phone and if i dont answer it says "could not complete your call" and they dont get my voicemail box.
I have tried wiping and flashing a sense rom no dice
I flashed a sense rom and sent the [email protected] and it did nothing
How can i get voicemail back onto my phone without having to dial in?

I'd stick with google voice personally. I've used both sprint VVM and google voice and google voice wins hands down. Just make sure you setup google voice mail correctly though, got setting>call>voicemail service. set that to google voice then goto voicemail settings and click voicemail number, it should then have you call a number to activate the service and after about 3 seconds it'll hang up automatically. you should be set! goto google.com/voice and setup all the different preferences. Best I can do, goodluck

to get sprint vvm to work on cm7 you need to flash back to a rom where vvm worked. try it out to make sure it still works, the back it up with titanium back up.
then nand back to cm7 and restore the vvm app.
everything should now work fine
So far I have tried:
Flashing Stock Sense and trying voicemail. Still isnt working, when someone calls me and if i decline the call or miss it, they are presented with a "cannot complete your call" as if i no longer have a voicemail box
Completely Wiped and used Format All, flashed Sense. Same issue, no one can leave me a message. Installed and activated Google Voice, same issue
Tried this on AOSP as well same issues as above.
Anyone ever seen this issue?
So i think im not being clear really as the few replies have been items i have tried
Basically I can no longer access my voicemail through google voice or sprint visual voice mail
I have to dial my number, enter a pin and go through the voicemail as if this wasnt a smart phone. When someone tries to leave a voicemail they get a message "could not complete your call"
any way i can fix this or do i need to go to sprint to have them reset my voicemail? Do i need to go into voicemail settings and setup a forwarding number?

ok ok its something messed up with your voice mail, not the phone.
id call sprint.
In Google Voice, when I click on "Deactivate Google Voicemail from this phone", it tells me to dial *38 from my EVO. It may be the code that changes voicemail conditional forwarding back to Sprint. Maybe you could try that?

You have to go to google voice and remove your phone and all should then work
dial *38 that stops your calls from being forwarded to google voice.
if you want to use google voice you have to go through the settings for google voice and dial the number it tells you to so it will forward after so many rings. as for the voice mail icon in cm7 there is a setting for voice mail notifications that you can turn off and you will not get it every time you reboot. if you are using google voice you dont need the notification set.

Voicemail Won't Pick Up

I've been having trouble with my VoiceMail. I'm running CM 7 and using the Sprint VVM 5.1.4.8 and the Voicemail will not pick up. The phone just rings and rings. I disabled Google Voice and did *38 to stop call forwarding and it still won't work. I can go into the app and hit "compose" and record a message to myself and send it and it shows up fine. But when I use another phone to call my phone, it just rings on and on and the VM never picks up. I could really use some help!
Thanks
Anyone ???
There's a couple things you can try.
More Deactivation Codes
You can try some of the deactivation codes listed on this page. Particularly the *730 and *740 ones.
Did you happen to "integrate" your Sprint/Google Voice? This could have happened at the Google Voice webpage, or when you installed the Google Voice app. If you didn't click "Skip" on the first page of the wizard, it automatically integrates your number. I think you need to do more than a disabling of Google Voice by removing that integration. More info may be helpful here.
The other thought I have is checking what you have set under Settings->Call settings. Do you have "My Carrier" chosen for the Voicemail service option?
Maybe a call to Sprint to have your voicemail re-provisioned would help if nothing else works. I know some people have had luck by sending a message to [email protected] or something similar.
Hope some of this helps.

I did integrate Sprint/Google Voice, but I'm pretty sure I've deactivated it. I have tried all the deactivate codes on the page you linked. Thanks

[Q] Sprint voicemail help

I rooted my phone and installed google voice. My voice mail does not go to visual voice mail. I unistalled google voice. I went to my google account and reset everything and I wiped my phone numerous times, thinking that would fix the problem.

[Resolved]Google voice mail not working?

So I installed Google voice to use their visual voice mail, and found that it installs fine, sets it as the default VM in the phones call settings, but when I received a call, tmo voice mail gets the redirect. I can't seem to figure this out. Anyone have a clue on this?

Bump... Anyone?
It's not just GV either, any of the market visual voicemail apps are not working either.
Any ideas?
You did go to http://voice.google.com and actually enable Voice on your line, right?
Interesting enough, that was the issue. I had google voice installed on my previous MT4G and it was all automated and worked fine before, but now that I'm on jellybean it said the install was fine but it never would trip over to GV, but now after re-registering the phone in my google voice settings, it worked.
Thanks for that.
