OK so I recently installed EF02 on my phone, rooted, and installed Anonymous i3.
I installed google voice, and it initially asked if I wanted to integrate my sprint number. (I do not, and did not have it integrated before.) I accidentally hit one of the yes options, and thusly had to call sprint and have them remove google voice so that it wouldn't be integrated.
I redownloaded google voice onto my phone, and set it up, skipping the number integration. However, my voicemails are coming to the phone's voicemail instead of google voice. How do I set it so that google voice voicemail is the default without integrating the number?
Get root explore and delete the stock voicemail app

My GV required me to dial a *28########## (#'s being your Google voice number) in order to direct my voicemails to GV.
You should be able to change all of these settings via the GV website. You didn't even have to call Sprint to have your number unintegrated.

I'm thinking about signing up for Google Voice, but it's telling me I either can use my current number or get a Google number and I have no idea which to pick. My main interest is Google Voicemail where I get transcripts, etc... but I don' want to miss out on the features that you get if you use a full Google voice number, even if I don't use them immediately and only use them at some point down the road.
Can I get a GV number, have my busy and unanswered call get forward to Google (for free on Sprint), and have the ability to in the future use my GV number for the other features as well?
Thanks.
i have a gv number and i still get transcripts and such via email when i have voicemails on my regular number

So, I signup for GV and get the number, then call sprint (do I have to call them?) to setup a conditional forward of my number on Busy/Unanswered to my GV number.
Then when I'm using my phone, it's still using my normal Sprint number to dial and receive?
You don't need to call sprint at all. Signup for google voice. Confirm your cell number on google voice online. After everything is setup dial *28 then your gv number on your phone. All of your voicemails will go to google voice now. to deactivate it, dial *28 then gv phone number.
Really? Because when I told google voice to handle sprint voice mail during setup it told me that wasn't possible with sprint yet...

GV
GV can handle your voicemails without having GV take over your phone. You lose virtual voicemail, but you gain transcribed voicemails and the ability to listen to them online.

no it works, that just means that you wont be able to 'listen' in on a phone call and be able to pick up when someone is leaving a voicemail aka screening
or like the previous user above me said.... virtual voicemail
google voice is bad ass, i really like it.
if the 'broke' people or the folks who always buy prepaid was smart...they would just buy an android phone outright on ebay, craigslist or something and get a google voice number
i mean free calls anywhere in the US and text messaging?
damn near free phone.
i use it when i call phones who dont share same carrier... or low on minutes or whatever, etc etc.
the blocking a number feature is bomb too!!! not to mention dedicated voicemail greetings for each user/number
I'm trying to enable Google Voice to be used for voicemail on my phone.. but I'm having lots of issues.
I'm running the CM6 Nightly (update every day or two) and have no Sprint apps left on the phone. I Installed/updated the Google Voice app on my phone, activated my Voice account for voicemail online, and called the number that it told me to call.
I am getting an error "Unfortunately your network carrier is currently not supported..." when trying to configure my voicemail for Google Voice.
Not sure where to go from here.
At the moment the only way I can access my email is by calling my number the old fashioned way.. I also get like 4 text notifications for every voicemail. I'm not sure why I get so many?
Thanks for any help.
You can ignore that setting. All it's really telling you is that GVoice can't automatically change your voicemail settings without calling a special number. As for the texts, go to your GVoice page on a computer, Settings, Voicemail, and un-check the Voicemail Notification texts.
Has anyone figured out a way to use Google Voice as the primary voicemail app?

Yeah, you go to the website
google.voice.com
and you can configure your settings there.
To my knowledge, there's no way to set Google Voice as the primary way to handle voicemail, like there is on the Evo 4G.
I don't have my phone yet (being delivered today), but why would using the instructions from the google voice website not work? What happens when you try?
I think it is *28 then your google voice number.
Google voice voicemail is set between the account and your GV account... it is completely unrelated to the phone. The app can retrieve the VM's and help you setup the voicemail, but it isn't required.
Its working for me.
Hey, quick question. I set up google voice, but now it's my primary phone number for when I text my friends. Is there a way to undo this? Even after uninstalling it, my primary texting number is my google voice number.
Login from a desktop and deactive your google number. You have a limited time before losing your sprint number.

If you go to the website voice.google.com - there's an option in there to integrate voicemail. On the phone settings you can click 'activate google voicemail on this phone'
basically it forwards the call at the last ring to your google voice voicemail and skips your sprint one.
Then that voicemail shows up in the google voice app, or you can set it to email you and even have a written transcript.
That's what I'm set up like. I dig it.
Works fine here. I had a little trouble getting it activated... I think this was because I was expecting it to switch too quickly after I set it up. You have to give it a few min/hours to start rolling your voicemail to Google Voice.
It will ask you to dial *38 and your number and it never works for me. Just make sure you have your sprint phone listed to forward to on the GV settings online and then install the app on your phone and go through the setup on the app and your voicemail will use GV...at least it does for me.
I had to remove it on my NS4G, caused me nothing but problems. And then when I did remove it I had to call sprint and have them reset my account because I was unable to receive calls and callers just got hung up on rather than connected to my voice mail.
I never let Sprint take over my GV number...I made it so I still had the choice to use my sprint or GV number. I ported my number to GV so I could go to any carrier I wanted to and have as many phone ring on the same number. I have a boost phone also that rings my GV number.
I have never been able to get voice mail without the app while my number was integrated. How do you get voicemails without the app? Do you just call your own number?

No you have to have the app
That didnt work out so well for me. If you ported for free because you are on sprint as soon as you cancel your service that number is inactive. I had to choose between my number and this phone and I took the phone and dont regret it one bit

I ported my number when GV started porting long before sprint got involved...I payed 20 bucks for it.
Currently I have a google voice number and a regular Sprint number, I know when you create your google voice number you can do the integration where Google will use your current Sprint number, which sounds cool in theory, but I heard a lot of issues with doing this, the main one, not getting MMS anymore, and some missed VMs etc...
My question is, when I install the Google Voice app on the phone there is some option asking about integration, from the sounds of it, it seems like this is different than Google taking over your current number. Ideally what I want is to still have two different numbers, but I would like my Sprint number -and- my Google Voice number to both use the Google Voice Voicemail service. This is to work around some AOKP / AOSP issues with Sprint Visual Voicemail app that I've had.
So is this possible? Is this what that install option on the phone does? Once I do the integration can you unlink it?
I'm not sure about the setup you desire, but I think for Google Voice to handle voicemail for your Sprint number, you are going to need to do the integration.
I integrated shortly after the option became available. Google Voice itself will not handle MMS messages, but you will still receive them on the phone -- just not in the GV app. That works fine for me. I haven't had any issues with missing voicemails or otherwise.
Once you do the integration, you have a period of time to decide whether to keep it or not. After that time expires, your old Google Voice number is removed. I think that's 90 days.

Yes it is and this is my setup. Install the app and when you are setting it up it will ask you if you want to integrate, you will press next if so. If not and just want the regular google voice setup just press skip. Do this, press skip. Then link your google account, setup which calls you want google voice to handle and then finish..you're done.
Thanks ... I set it up and deleted the Sprint VVM app, don't have a way to test it though, tried calling my phone with google voice, but the phone doesn't ring, I'm guessing that's because I'm trying to call the phone GV is set to forward too... Oh well, looks like I'll just wait till someone calls

You should be able to call your cell # from your gv # even if the cell is set up as the forward # for GV...I do it all the time...
Just did it from the gmail dialer...

Yea tried that, for some reason the phone never rings when I call myself via chrome Google voice on the PC, txts do go through however, odd

You actually want to SKIP integration.
I have mine setup so that you can call my google voice # or Sprint # and both ring on my phone.
If you integrate (during the app setup) you turn your Sprint number into your GV #.
To fix this you need to login to google voice and there is a setting to (basically un-link) the GV # from your sprint #.
Uninstall and reinstall the app on the phone, this time skip integration.
Hope this helps.
if you want to keep google voice number and your sprint number separate than when you set up the google voice app skip the first option and voice mail integration and just get the text and call forwarded to your phone via gV..I like to keep them separate to keep business from personal

That's exactly what I use it for too.... Think I got it all setup, still can't call my sprint number from my google voice number in a browser however, don't know what's up with that, but think everything else is working.
I am not getting any voicemails on Google voice. I have Google Voice selected for "Voicemail service" and I am running Wicked V2. I have never used Google voice before so I don't know if its Wicked or what. When I get a voicemail I get a notification saying that I have a new voicemail and when I tap the notification it dials to my voicemail over the phone. When I have a voicemail and open Google Voice, there is nothing in my inbox or under voicemail even after I refresh it.
if you log in to gvoice thru your web browser on your computer, in the settings it'll give you a forwarding code to type into your phone's dialer

Thanks. They should have that info in their app.
I concur. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the phone itself. In the past I never had to set it up this way

I figured out on my own after fumbling through the call settings then additional settings. Figured it out and it worked. 3 weeks layer I began to not get gv mails again.... Somehow the call forwarding reset itself to tmo voice mail. I called them and had them disable my vm feature and gv is back to normal fwiw

I managed to find the forwarding settings myself as well. Now I created a contact with Google's voice mail number because it was such a pain to find on their site. I'll be watching to see if it flips back to T-mobile.

I got mine to work.. finally as well.. but.. i still get my voicemail in Tmobile voicemail and Google voice.. weird.. but.. it works, lol
The fix I used on my phone and works is to insert the following MMI code into your dialer as well as ensuring Google voice is selected as your voice mail **004*1412532****# (insert your Google Voice number after the *after the 004 and insert a # after your number. A message should come up on your phone saying the change was successful. This will also change your forward settings phone numbers as well
