Is anyone else having issues with call waiting not working when using google voicemail? I like the features of google voice but this is a deal breaker. I noticed that the call waiting feature is not working at all on my sprint # and every time it is going directly to voicemail, I assume this has to be because of google voice is configured to be my default voicemail?
Is there any solution to this problem besides going back to sprint vvm?
So all the people who are using google vm are fine with losing call waiting? And CM recommends google vm and boasts how it is far superior to to sprint voicemail even though we lose a major feature like this?
I find that all very hard to believe, there has got to be a solution someone must know! I've searched everywhere and can't find anything.
I use GVoice and love it, and I have no issues with call waiting.
I did have a ton of problems with GVoice when I first started using it. After a ton of reading and trial-and-error on setting things up different ways over and over I finally realized Sprint's voicemail service was conflicting with GVoice.
I called Sprint and actually had them completely remove their voicemail service from my account. I can add it back anytime I want. I have had zero issues with GVoice since then. YMMV
GV works fine for me. i get my voice mails transcribed, call waiting works, and if you install the app, you get a nice little toggle link for how you want your outbound calls routed.
win.

Yea I'm getting all those features as well, like I said everything works great except call waiting. But I'm gonna try nebenezer's suggestion and hope for the best.
You know what else doesn't work with Google Voice is "Decline" because if you decline a call it goes straight to Sprint Voicemail. The call never gets forwarded. Deal breaker for me.

hmm, I didn't realize that.
One thing that does bug me too is that caller-id-blocked numbers don't make it to GVoice either.
My work line shows as 000-000-0000 on caller id. I have tested this on a wide variety of phones and gvoice settings and never have I been able to leave myself a vm from my work line.

Well that sucks, back to Sprint VVM for me then.
Hopefully this is something that Google can even fix and isn't a limitation due to Sprint's network or hardware in some way.

FWIW, I just tested this a couple times with a friend at work, no problems here. Maybe that was another conflict with Sprint's voicemail service?
He called my phone from his, I declined the call, he left a voicemail..
If you want to make sure that voice mails go to google voice, turn on Call Screening. That way if you don't answer, decline or you miss the call, you google voice picks up the message. You may get a voicemail message in your sprint voicemail box, but it will only have the message "press 1 if you want to accept this call"
So with this method you don't have to forward calls at all.
Let me know if this helps anyone.
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.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! that reset my voicemail and its working THANK YOU AGAIN SOOOOOO MUCH
So I've been running CM6 since its first nightly builds and know the normal fixed to voicemail on Sprint.. changing the voicmail number to your own, using google voice, etc but now since I've rooted my sisters white evo, she brought to my attention that neither hers or my voicemail is working.. everytime someone calls, when voicemail is supposed to go thru.. it says "sorry your call can not be completed at this time, please try again" I even tried downloading the Sprint Visual Voicemail Apk and am getting the 9016 revisioning texts but when someone calls.. all they get is that same message with no option of a voicemail.. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.. should I call sprint and have them reset my voicemail?

You didnt mention but did you call the google voice number and let it activate your number? It will call and hangup after about 2-3 seconds to verify activation. Then go online to google.com/voice and setup custom voicemail settings. Hope that helps, if not have sprint reset it but remember, your "stock"

For some reason when I loaded my sim it keeps telling me I have a voice mail even though my account is empty. I tried installing google voice since thats my mail voice mail account and the icon is still there.
Anyone experience this? Anyone find a way to get rid of it?
Is this your first time starting? They send you a voicemail notification so that you'll dial your T-Mobile voicemail and set it up. Until you set it up it won't go away.
Call your number and leave yourself a message. Then delete that voicemail. It should go away.

when i had this issue, i tried this months ago and worked fine.
to make sure you understand.
make sure you DO NOT set up google voice for your voice mail yet.
make sure you still have tmobile voice mail set as default.
call yourself from home phone/ girls phone/ bf's phone ect..
dial tmo's voice mail number. delete voice mail.
BOOM Shakalaka!!!
you're set.
I'm having a similar issue as the OP. I just got my sim card swapped out by T-Mobile, and now I have a new voicemail notification that I can't get rid of.
I actually have my voicemail completely disabled, so I have no way of leaving myself a message or anything (I have it setup this way so my carrier's voicemail doesn't pickup any of my voicemails).
Any recommendations on how to get rid of this? It has been driving me crazy.
---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------
I just tried online chat, but they weren't really any help:
Code:
Me: I just traded in my sim card for a new one at the local store, and put the new sim card into my phone. My phone now shows a new voicemail notification that I am unable to get rid of. I have voicemail completely disabled on my plan, so I know that I have no new messages. This notification is irritating, and I would like to get rid of it.
%Noel M: Welcome to T-Mobile live Chat. I’m Noel and I'll be glad to help you, for your reference my ID number is 853274.
%Noel M: Would this be for prepaid account?
Me: correct
%Noel M: Let me find ways to remove that notification off the phone, one moment please.
Me: Thank you
%Noel M: You're welcome.
%Noel M: I'm still on it, one more minute please.
%Noel M: Have you restarted the phone and checked if the voicemail icon is still on the phone? Cna you tell me the make and model of the phone?
Me: Yeah, I have tried restarting the phone, taking the sim card out, and putting it back in, etc.
Me: It's a Galaxy Nexus.
Me: I don't think the issue is related to the phone, as it started as soon as I turned on the phone with the new sim card.
%Noel M: Did the phone came from T-Mobile or from a 3rd paty reseller?
Me: 3rd party reseller - directly from Google.
%Noel M: As a courtesy for non T-Mobile phones, we can attempt to troubleshoot internet, picture message, or network issues but please be aware that we cannot guarantee the functionality.
Me: ok. Thanks.
Me: It has something to do with them switching the sim card - with the old sim card, I had zero issues, and as soon as I put the new one in the issue showed up.
%Noel M: Can you open the notification? Do we have options about it for example is by deleting it?
Me: The notification says: "New voicemail Dial +1-805-637-7243".
Me: And when I click on it it places a call to that number (the TMobile voicemail system).
Me: But I can't actually do anything once I dial the number since I do not have a voicemail account setup.
%Noel M: Let me check if there are documents about this, if not I'll let you know once I'm done.
%Noel M: Please try this steps:
Call your number and leave a voicemail
Once you recieve the notification, access your voicemail
Listen to the entire message and then press 7 to delete it
Press the * key to return to the main menu
Hang up and check for the icon
If it is still there, powercycle your phone
Me: I can't leave myself a voicemail because my voicemail is completely disabled. When I call my phone number, it just keeps on ringing, and the voicemail never picks up.
%Noel M: I understand. Unfortunately, we have already exhausted all troubleshooting steps available here. Since we have limited info about your device, we need you to call the manufacturer of the phone to get assistance about this matter.
Me: okay.
%Noel M: Thank you for using T-Mobile live Chat. Have a great night!
Is there any way to completely disable voicemail notifications? I use Google Voice, so I do not care about carrier voicemail notifications at all.

Enable your voicemail and leave a message, then delete the message. You don't need to have your voicemail disabled for GV to work correctly. As long as you setup GV correctly, it will enable call forwarding so your carrier voicemail does not interfere.

But call forwarding uses my minutes. So each call that goes to voicemail costs me minutes, and I am on the 100 minutes a month plan, so I don't really have a bunch to share.

If you really want to go the prepaid route I would just use your google voice number (in other words don't give out your "real number") and disable the voice mail that comes with whatever prepaid service you use.

My voicemail is completely disabled for my account. The problem is that I swapped out my sim card at TMobile, and now my phone says it has a new voicemail with no way of clearing it, since my voicemail is completely disabled.

I hate to say it but you may have to call support. I initially had the voicemail symbol that I couldn't get rid of until I set up the voicemail. Then I had the voicemail disabled.

I did contact support... Not to be rude, but did you read this thread? I posted a log of my chat with support, and posted that I have my voicemail disabled.
I may end up reactivating my voicemail, setting up voicemail, and then disabling voicemail again. Unfortunately I think I have to talk to support for each of those steps.
I was told that using VM doesn't use minutes. I'm on the 100 minute plan too. Just a thought. That or you could try calling from SIPDroid but I never have gotten it to work with Google Voice.

Calling my voicemail box definitely uses my minutes. I'm not sure if calls forwarded use minutes, but I am pretty sure they do.
I have an HTC One S, but I think it should still be the same. Go to Settings>call> Clear voicemail notification.

Ah. My bad then. I'll give that a shot in a few days. Google is sending me a replacement device for other issues, so I am going to try and see if that fixes it for some reason first.
Update: I was having an issue with a voicemail notification displaying on my phone even though I had voicemail completely disabled on my phone after I got a new sim card. I solved the issue by re-enabling the voicemail for my account (via online chat), and then disabling it again a day later (again via online chat).
I'm just posting this in case someone else has the same issue as me. I didn't even have to leave myself a voicemail and delete it or anything like people above were saying (probably because my voicemail system was initially completely disabled).
Thanks everyone! Calling myself and leaving a voicemail fixed it!
Anyone else having issues with their Verizon Voicemail on the 5X? Whenever I get a voicemail, instead of the regular notification that I have a new voicemail, I'm getting a text message with a bunch of gibberish, like this:
Code:
//VZWVVM:SYNC:ev=NM;id=4;c=1;t=v;s=xxxxxx;dt=27/10/2015 09:30 -0500;l=7;dev_t=5
Of course I just got off the phone with Verizon level 2 technical support and they told me that its my phone and it isn't compatible with the way their voicemails are handled in their system, which is just their way of passing blame to someone else.
Anyway, I'm still able to receive and check my voicemails, I just don't get the proper notifications anymore, just a text message with gibberish. I've tried the default google messenger and also Textra, and both do the same thing (thinking maybe it was my SMS app).
I also don't have visual voicemail, and told the verizon rep i just want basic voicemail, and they told me their free voicemail is some sort of basic visual voicemail now, which I think is part of the problem.
Any suggestions, or can anyone verify their voicemail notification icon is working correctly??

Same issue when setting up my sister's 5X. I had the issue initially when getting my Nexus 6 on Verizon very early. There will be an updated verizon visual voicemail app for nexus phones on Verizon in the future just as Motorola came out with one for the Nexus 6 IMO. There was one for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon as well back in the day. Until then, your best bet is to use Google voice to handle Voicemail. Works really well once you have it set up. If you dont use your google voice number for anything else; set it to do not disturb in the settings on your desktop so that it goes right to voicemail once your Verizon line is not picked up.....

No, you will not need the google voice app. You will need to access settings in google voice on your desktop. You can create a greeting through there and set the google voice line to do not disturb if you are not going to utilize it for normal calls. You will need to utilize hangouts to access the voice mails. They will come as texts and you can also listen to them through the hangouts app. Works really well in my opinion.

Ah yes I remember I played around with Hangouts and Voicemail back when the Hangouts Dialer was first released, I remember now that I had the option of listening to voicemails through Hangouts.
I think I have it all set up now, just have to find another phone to call my number and test it out lol.
Thanks again for the help!
Call Verizon and ask for disable visual voicemail. Ask for standard voicemail and block both standard and advanced visual voicemail. Then the old school voicemail indicator will work again.
This is the same issue CM users have had on Verizon with their visual voicemail.

I was told that would work as well when on the phone with Verizon.....
Just did a test on my 5x (Verizon) and it went into my VM and after I left a test message and hang up, it gave me the notification icon and sound. I never had visual VM before, so I don't know if that is the reason. Otherwise, working fine for me.

That is correct. However, did you make sure you have advanced calling activated on your account so that you can do data over voice..... Voice over LTE? Call in and activate it with Verizon if you dont. Sometimes with the activation of that , it automatically enters you into basic visual voicemail which can then be a problem.

This must be what happened with me, I activated advanced calling and I'm guessing that triggered basic visual voicemail which is the problem.
And the tech I talked to told me there was no way to remove basic free visual voicemail and go back to standard voicemail. Maybe she is wrong, I'm not sure, but either way I'm content with using Google Voice for now.

Yes, do this, for now anyway, until Visual Voicemail catches up with M. I still have Advanced Calling enabled, as well as HD calling, so VoLTE should work. With the Visual Voicemail removed (by VZW via chat in my case), I just get the old school simple voicemail notification on the status bar and dial *86 to retrieve.
Verizon Wireless Fixed my Issue
I had this issue since I got my Nexus 5X 2 months ago, and Verizon Wireless just fixed it over the phone and now it works fine. I don't use visual voicemail or anything fancy, although I used to use Google Voice up until a year ago.
He basically reinitialized the voicemail, so I had to set it up again from scratch, re-recording my outgoing message etc.
I should also mention my texts didn't work sometimes either... some MMS messages would just say "Downloading" and never download, and this happened often on my old Droid Maxx HD. The workaround was to disable wireless and wait for it to download over the data connection. Anyway this started happening on my new Nexus 5X also, but they reprovisioned the phone and fixed that also. :victory:
You can turn this off yourself from the My Verizon app or the website. No need to call Verizon. It's listed under "manage features".
