[Q] Google Voice Setup?

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.

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.

Google voice on sprint?

I think this may be more of a sprint thing then a Galaxy S2 thing but I am coming from T-Mobile, if I use Google Voice on my cellphone, do all my texts have to go through google voice? I have used google voice for a while now but on T-Mobile I had it just for my voicemails, everything else ran off the native apps, can I do that here?

i know there is a way to link your gvoice with ur sprint number.. also, im sure there is a way to forward your sms to your cell number..

Yes, keep your sprint number (do not port to google) but have everyone use your google number. All texts will go to google, AND to your phone. MMS will go to your phone only.
It works awesome.

got it figured out, thanks

I just told gvoice not to integrate with sprint and then I set conditional forwarding to my google voice number. I also had to set conditional forwarding on my t-mo phone to forward to my sprint number because I don't have time to stop by t-mo to buy a sim and reactivate the line after porting to avoid ETF on that account.

my google voice setup
Hi
1. i had ported a phone number to google voice when i cancelled a line from verizon
a while ago.
2. just switched to sprint, and ported my verizon number to sprint.
3. after setting up phone, installed google voice and let it setup automatically. so there's some sprint integration, that you can't get around. also when the phone asks, choose, keep my google voice number
4.log into voice.google.com and clock the sprocket button, (lower one) and go to settings.
5. I clicked disable google voice next to the number
6. go back to google voice settings on your phone. logout
7. log back in, and do the setup
8. dial *38 ( you have to be on the sprint network, no roaming)
9. dial *28XXXXXXXXXX xxxxxxxxxx= your google voice number.
in this case
google voice should handle all your voicemails when people call your sprint number.
when you dial from your phone, you should be able to choose which number to dial out.
or in google settings choose to not use google voice's number as your outgoing number.
theres also a setting in the widget you can choose.
Its a little confusing, but it works.
also you might have to wait 15 minutes to change a google voice enable or disable setting on the voice.google.com part.

ok. google voice confuses me. so i live in the 918 area code. my google voice number is 918, but my cell is 816 where i went to college. EVERYONE has my college number. i'm trying to accomplish:
1. using google voice, while keeping BOTH my 816 number and my Google(918) number.
i installed gvoice on my SGS2 and it worked fine, but i had to select my sprint number, which makes my google number void after 90 days.
any gvoice expects out there? your help is appreciated.

[Q] Google voicemail question

I have a question about google voicemail. I have finally decided to use it instead of the sprint voicemail. I activated from my browser(voicemail only I didn't integrate google voice) and dialed the long number it told me to dial. I tested it and it works but there are 2 things I noticed about it and I was wondering if there is any way to change them. I set google voice up to notify me via the status bar. When I pull down the notification and tap it, it takes me to the sms app. Is there anyway to change this so that it takes me to the google voice app without making google voice my default sms app? The second thing is that when I dial my voice mail from my phone by either pressing and holding the number 1 on the key pad or saying voicemail on the voice dialer, it calls the sprint voicemail and it tells me welcome to sprint voicemail and that I have not setup my voicemail. Is there anyway to get it to default to dialing my google voicemail instead? I know the google voicemail is working because when I dial my cell phone and it drops into voicemail I hear the greating I recorded. Also if I manually go to the voice app, the voice message is there and I can play it.

You can change what number you dial with 1 in call settings. Google Voice works best with the app.
Turn off text notifications in your Google Voice settings to get rid of the notification problem.

T-Mobile - Google Voice crashes when configuring voicemail

I'm having issues getting Google Voice running on my new phone. I had it running on a G2x just fine. Everytime I get to the stage where it syas it will configure voicemail to use Google Voice it comes back with com.android.phone has stopped.
So far as I can tell it's failing to configure voicemail, however unlike my G2x I can't find the voicemail number setting under the phone settings to see what it is set to. I don't know if this is a GSIII thing or something to do with ICS.
Anyone else run into problems configuring google voice?

Restart then try launching voice again.it went away for me. The problem I have now is that I cannot get the old voicemail icon to clear.

You just have to change the forwarding calls number to your Google Voice number. That should be all that needs to be done.

I had this problem too. You can change the forwarding numbers in the call settings or go to the Google voice web page and activite voicemail on the device.
This is what fixed it for me

Thanks guys. I've visited the voice web page and got the number there to input on the device. Hopefully that'll do it.

Clearing old VoiceMail Icon
Disable WiFi Calling
De-Activate Voice on Website from Desktop
Uninstall "Google Voice"
Open "Phone" - where you dial out to make calls
Press "Menu" and then "Call Settings"
Change Voicemail Setting to "Carrier"
Enter "Call Forwarding" Options
Leave the First Option Disabled
Disable the last Option, it will reset to your carrier's voicemail number
Make sure the 2-4 options all have your carrier's voicemail number.
Restart phone.
Call it from another phone and leave a voicemail.
Listen to and delete the new voicemail you just left.
Voicemail Icon cleared.
Now you should be able to setup Voice properly.
*NOTE*
Call Forwarding cannot be changed while WiFi calling is active.
Hope this helps.

Thanks
Thank you so much! That worked perfectly!

It appears that T-Mobile locks down the Voicemail settings (where you can configure the direct dial number for voicemail). GV fails to change that when installing the "Google Voice" Voicemail service.
So far's I can tell on my Amaze is this is the number dialed when you hold down "1" or call "123."
T-Mo reps told me this is a third party app problem, when I told them it was Google Voice, the reps said "Call HTC, it's a hardware issue." HTC's technical support had a good laugh at that. T-Mobile's reps are full of it; they just don't like changing the number.
