Visual Voicemail - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Which app are you using? I tried YouMail and it never quite worked correctly. After I manually forwarded the number (the automated process didn't work), it never notified me of VMs.
Wish it worked, because I loved the caller id feature. So what are you folks using?

Google Voice gets the job done for me.

Might have to try it again. I used it on T-Mobile and it seemed that I often had friends complaining that they'd go straight to VM even if I had signal.

Visual Voicemail doesn't work

OK, so I'm rooted on AKOP, but this happened when I was still on stock.
I get texts that there is visual voicemail activity, then I have to go to the app and manually sync the voicemail to get it to appear and download.
Then when I delete the voicemail, I get another annoying text that says there has been "visual voicemail" activity.
Any provisioning ideas or fixes? Sorry if this has been asked already. I'm on my GN and did a search w/ no luck. My "My Verizon" also doesn't work if that's helpful. Thanks in advance!

I've called Verizon and they told me they'd call me once there is an answer but for now I should use a different texting app so for me hand cent and just block texts. Its a pain.

Yeah, but those texts are literally the only notifications I get for voicemail now, so I would hate to stop them. Really annoyed.

Just discovered a lot of people are having the same issue after upgrading.
Does anyone know where to find a Galaxy Nexus visual voicemail. apk with a build prior to 2.0.5? Thanks!

Oh wow sorry I missed that... I get the voicemail notifications and the texts so I have no idea. Would going to an older version really fix it?

Only one way to find out! Can anyone link to Visual voicemail 2.0.4 for the GN or earlier? Please?!

Well this is probably not an answer to your problem, but save the 2.99 a month you pay for visual voice mail and switch to Google Voice.
This happened to me when I first rooted my TBolt and it was annoying, until I activated GVoice on my phone. Have not looked back since.

I agree. Google Voice in infinitely better...and it's free.

Sprint, Google voice and touchwiz

Has anyone figured out how to make it work? In voicemail settings there is no option to select Google voice to handle voicemail.

I think you have to call *28 and your Google voice number... in the setup it tells you. Works fine for me

Thanks. I tried that last night nut calls were still being directed to sprint voicemail. I tried again this morning and it seems to have worked.

So, nevermind. It's actually not working. When I call from an outside line it takes me to Sprint VM not GV. In the past every phone I've used has an option in phone settings to use carrier VM or GV. The SGS3 does not have this option so it seems I'm stuck using Sprint VM until CM9 is made available for this device.

When you installed GV, did you dial the long *number to provision it for your sprint number?

Thanks so much. When I set it up through the GV website it worked. Thanks for the links.

Hey guys tried seething this up and having the same issue. I dial the full *28xxxxxxxxx and it still goes to sprint not GV.
I'm only using GV for voicemail not to make calls.
Any other suggestions ? I went through the faqs too and no luck.
No one?

Sorry, got a little busy this afternoon. Anyhow, if you log into your Google voice account from your computer, you will have an option to set up gv from there instead of the handset. You'll be asked if you'd like to use your gv number or carrier provided number for your gv account. Once you go through those steps, set up gv on your phone and it should work. If it still doesn't work let me know and I can log into my account from my computer and tell you the exact process in a step by step fashion.

I use Google Voice for visual VM. I just forwarded my missed calls to that VM instead of AT&T's. It works just the same when you call and now I get my voice mails on all of my Android devices like my tablet.

If your phone came with AT&T Messages, you need to go to AT&T store to have them switch you back to the old VVM system. I upgrade to Messages and hated it and went back.

you don't have to go into the store you can call a csr they should be able to reset your account.
I also use Google voice and its awesome. But since most messages left are in Spanish, Google will tell me the craziest things when it tries to make them into English words (I get a hell of a kick out of it)

Can't get this to work
This app worked fine when I was using TW, but I switched over to AOKP and the app will not work. I go through the setup and it asks for my pin. I type in my pin and the app just sits there with the wheel spinning, looking like its doing something. However, it never comes back. I've uninstalled/reinstalled, factory reset, wiped cache & Dalvik cache. Any ideas?

Thanks. I should have spent a little more time looking around before posting. I also found the answer here.
I switched to Paranoid Android and somehow lost my phone # in the sim card. I was searching and found I had to go into the phone app and readd my # and also readd my voicemail dial in #(which is different than your phone #)
Had to call AT&T for that.
I was never able to get att visual VM to work. Tried everything even called att. They couldn't figure it out...surprising huh

For some reason, I can not get my phone to use Google Voice as my default VMB for the phone. I installed Google Voice, and it asked if I wanted to do that. I said yes, selected Google Voice (as opposed to Carrier) and it said it failed to update. I tried manually under phone settings many times. Tried rebooting too, nothing.
Any idea why I can't change calls to be directed to Google Voice for voicemail?
I'm on stock LH9 ROM, rooted and the special tethering framework (I tried without this first, but still no luck).
ya, tried the att messages app today.. horrible. it froze my contacts and kept shutting down some google app process.
for those who are curious.. google voice works on ICS. took me a moment to figure it out, and really liked having it on gingerbread. go to google voice website. hit settings and then "activate voicemail" it gives you a series of symbols and numbers to enter into your dialer and then it's activated.
BAM.

Google voice problem

I've had Google voice since I've had a droid 1so i know it worked before. I've had my gnex for more than a year and had no problems (different ROMs too). It just stopped working all of a sudden. I signed out, I uninstalled it. It says my carrier doesn't support it. I've always had Verizon.
I've gone to the help thing it gives me. That didn't do anything. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, any suggestions?

Update: so i called my Google voice number with another phone and it works. But if I call my cell number it goes to my Verizon Voicemail. Idk why or how.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
You might try going to the Google voice site. Login and go to your phone listing in the settings. I am next to your mobile should be a link for deactivating voice mail. I'd click that, ignore what it says next and click okay, then click activate again and punch in the code it gives you to setup forwarding again. It sounds like that might have gotten lost some how.
If it doesn't say deactivate then just do the activate process again. I haven't always had the best luck with the app setting the settings correctly so this might help.
Good luck!

Visual voicemail

Howdy,
I just switched to T-Mobile today with a new G3 and ported over from Verizon.
I am having a problem getting the visual voicemail to work. when I try to use it, I get a unable to communicate with server error. This was happening on my wife's LG G3 too, I setup my regular voicemail just fine.
Anyone else having this problem? Or do you think it could be something to do with the porting process (everything seems to have ported fine)
Or any other suggestions (besides resetting my phone, I will try that last, but would like to not have to set up everything again)
Thanks!

How are you using google voice? On my handset, I have it all set up as I should, but the "Voicemail Provider" option within call settings is greyed out, I cannot change that to google voice.

Keyword there is "showing."
It's Google Voice. Call your phone from a different phone to confirm and you should hear your Google Voice greeting.

NP!
You can also call T-Mobile and have them do the following:
--Disable Voicemail on your line
--Setup the forwarding number to be your Google Voice number
You can also setup the forwarding yourself the be the Google Voice number. After doing this, even if I don't install GV after a flash, the calls still go to GV voicemail and whatnot.
