[Q] VZW Galaxy Nexus + Google Voice Installation

Has anyone had any trouble getting the google voice voicemail set up on the VZW galaxy nexus? Whenever i get to the voicemail section it gives me the error
"Carrier config: unfortunately your network carrier is currently not supported for automatic configuration. To use google voice as your voicemail provider, please visit google voice help center for more information".
Going to the help center has nothing on how to manually set it up.... My droid 2 had no problem setting this up automatically... am I missing something?

I've done those steps, but they didnt work. The *71, *90 and *92 also didn't work in my situation.
I eventually ended up uninstalling on the phone, and deactivating and then reactivating the vvm from the web admin panel. The *71 number worked, and then reinstalled voice on the phone. It worked after that.
It seems that the error i posted in OP is present always for verizon. Still works if you manually dial the instructed number. Not sure why....

try to have someone call you and leave a voicemail message. i've only had my nexus for a couple days but i was able to set google voice up on the first day. i got the error that it couldn't be set up the normal way but in the settings and everything it looked ok and i had someone leave me a message and everything worked like it was supposed to.

Hey I hate to bring up this old thread but Ive been troubleshooting this problem long enough so I figured I would ask here.
I'm having trouble getting google voice to work the way I want to. I set it up and it seems to work, whenever people leave me voice mails my google voice app pops up and transcribes it and gives me a notification of a new voice mail. But I cant seem to set custom voice mails for specific contacts. As a matter of fact I cant seem to change my voice mail at all...it just says my recorded name.
So I go on my computer to google voice and make changes to my voice mail greeting and these changes are not reflected in my phone. Also I call my google voice number on my phone and try to change the voice mail there but it also doesn't change it.
Sorry this is long and confusing but maybe one of you know what I'm talking about

[Q] Anyone know how to set up ATT Visual Voice Mail?

Right out of the box?

AT&T needs to turn it on first.
Start app.
It will call your voice mail.
then enter pin.

Okay, so when I activate my device, do I need to call ATT to turn it on?

I thought its a paid feature? Just use Google Voice instead

Google Voice did not seem to be working on my phone. Anyone able to get it working on theirs, or is there some issue with Google Voice and the S3 for now?

AT&T Messages
you need to get AT&T Messages from the Google Play Store you will get all you message, Voicemail, and calls in one spot.

From the main/home screen go two screens to the left and click on the AT&T Messages icon. It will walk you through the setup as mentioned above. I believe it specifically states the service is free (as it should be).
Now my question is why didn't they put this on the main/home screen? Why not make it the default? Who wouldn't want VVM?

There is already a thread about google voice's voice mail. You just have to dial a number to activate it. On mine it still says Carrier Voice mail, but my missed calls actually go to google's voice mail.

I went to the Play Store and downloaded AT&T's Visual Voicemail app. That worked well.

OK so we have two choices for VVM. Does anyone have enough experience to compare the pros and cons of each?

Visual Voice mail is great for voice mail. Really nice app. Love it.
AT&T messages combines text, voice mail, ect. rendering your regular messaging app useless or getting double notifications, and you can't turn them off from the at&t app. (it is basically the devil. And I made just to disable it as soon as I got the phone.)
Just my .02

I'm pretty unimpressed with this. I don't know why, but it bugs me to have to manually type in my google VM number to each forward field.

that's why you call the # code.
art vvm app is OK, but Google voice has a cleaner look and operation. neither is intuitive to set up though so read the directions.
att messages is terrible and should be disabled or uninstalled or nuked from orbit.

No matter what I do I can't get att visual voicemail to work. The app tells me that it is has not received a response from att. I've called att and my account is set up correctly but the app still doesn't work so I just gave up and use YouMail.

Has anybody gotten Google Voice to work properly?

I have an AT&T SGS3, when I try to set up Google Voice as the default voicemail, it crashes when it tries to change the voicemail settings. I get an error through the Phone app and also through Google Voice's setup wizard. Any ideas or legit work arounds?

What happens exactly? I was having a problem where it said something to the effect of not being able to retrieve the forwarding number (I don't remember exactly). As a work-around, I ended up configuring call forwarding (to my google voice number) for when the call is not answered which worked for me.

You have to do it manually. Visit voice.google.com, settings, and click "Activate GVoice on this phone" for the popup that gives you the dialcode similar to: "*004*<insertGoogleVoiceNumberGoesHere>#"
(It'll work, but, it now takes 60 seconds to forward to voice mail, and can't change it)

I'm having the same issue. I've tried to see if there was a conflict with AT&T Messages and AT&T visual Voicemail, removed both, no progress. I will keep messing with it until I get something to work. I'll keep you posted.

Known issue... Its all over this forum if you use the search function.

I'm having the same issue, I also got it to work by manually changing the forwarding numbers but the phone still thinks "my carrier" is the voicemail service, so long pressing 1 on the dialer doesn't take me to google voice and the voicemail integration with the system dialer isn't working either. I also tried entering the *004*<insertGoogleVoiceNumberGoesHere># in the dialer, which seemed to work since there were no errors but the phone still lists "my carrier" as the voicemail service.
I called both AT&T and Samsung tech support and neither were able to "fix it". This was working fine on my cappy with CM9, so I may just move on to CM10 cause I suspect it is something with the Samsung touchwiz framework causing the issue.

I too am having the same problem, both stock rom and Ultimatum rom.
I can forward my number from the website version of Google voice from my computer, but required device voicemail configuration doesn't work. When you click configure it thinks for a second, then it says com.android.phone has crashed.
I tested the voicemail by calling myself, and it did go to my Google Voicemail and I left a message, however it never notifies me that I have a voicemail, even when I open the app, I have to actually hit refresh within the app.
When holding 1 on the keypad it goes to my AT&T voicemail, not like I'd ever use this method with Google voice being all it actually does is calls yourself, but this confirms it's not fully working.
When I go into the phone app, go to menu and click call settings, I scroll down toe voicemail service and choose Google Voice, hit yes when it asks to change to new provider, and I get an error saying "Forwarding number change failed"

After doing the forwarding it should work fine. If you have issues with it try doing it again and clearing data on Google voice.

Also see if you got visual voicemail allocated to your line. If you do, call att to revert you back to regular voicemail... it'll work then.

Easy way to do it :
1. Go to Phone and then Call Settings
2. Go to Call Forwarding and then Voice Calls
3. Change the number for every type of forward except the first one (that's all calls) to your Google Voice number
4. Go to Voice mail Settings and tap number so you can change it to GV number
Now GV will handle voice mails and hitting 1 will dial GV.
Enjoy.

After manually editing all the call forward options and voicemail number, GV is mostly working now including long press on 1 and use of the voicemail icon on the dialer however, the one remaining issue I'm having is with the call log showing the GV bridge number instead of the person I actually called.

Did you chose an option to use GV for ALL calls?
Regarding what ID to show - check from your computer on voice.google.com settings page (Calls tab) in section Caller ID (both incoming and outgoing) - is it what you want?

After removing it do you know if AT&T will give it back to you later if you ask for it again without charge?

Absolutely.. It's a free feature with any 4G smartphone plan.

You don't have to remove ATT Visual Voicemail to have Google Voice work. I had it on my old phone, and my current phone, and GV works fine (except for the fixed 60 delay) using the manual dialcode forwarding method.

I have Google Voice working on my SIII. As many of you have seen, if you try to set up Google voice via their app, you eventually get an error message.
To get around this message, simply set up Google Voice online (on your computer). It works like a charm.

^^^ what Death&Co said. You cannot do it through the phone. You need to log into your voice account online, deactivate the phone. It will tell you to type in some numbers on your phones dialer. When that is done, restartour phone and then go back to the web and activate the phone for Google voice. Again it will tell you to enter in some numbers on your dialer. Once you do that it will be setup correctly.
DO NOT USE THE APP ON YIUR PHONE TO SET UP GOOGLE VOICE.

ecapox's method worked for me. One thing though - the number I put in the call-forwarding settings on my phone is NOT my GV number, but the number the GV website shows when I log in and click activate (ie the *004*<somenumber># - which isn't my GV number).
The voicemail number - the one to designate when you long-push 1 on the phone - is the GV number.
Hope that helps someone!

Google voicemail issues.

Has anyone tried setting up google voice as their vm provider? I just tried and it said the phone forwarding in my gs3 csll settings.

Yeah, it doesn't work for some reason. Haven't been able to get it to work since I switched to the S3.

I haven't tried it yet, but I will be later and we'll see what happens.

Im confused. I use Google Voice for my voice mail. I set it up through my account on-line. So if I dont answer a call..it goes to Google Voice . Then I get a text with the transcript or i open google voice app and get my VM. Unless you guys are talking about something different.

I don't use my GV number as my main number. I still use my regular cell number. There is supposed to be a way where google voicemail will pick up your REGULAR cell calls instead of the att voicemail.
EDIT:
I just followed the instructions here: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/voice/P2zifCPaYJE from Fluididdy and it worked. I had to change my phone to MOBILE (I had it to "home" as I was sharing it with another voice number). It's working now!

Visual voicemail options on 4.2.2

I'm on ATT and could never get Google voice to connect to my voice-mail provider. I've tried it on a couple different roms...same outcome. After being dissapointed so many times, I just gave up and stuck with the default. I used Youmail back when I had an iPhone and it worked great though; I'll have to give it a try.:good:

you need to speak with an at&t rep and have them change your forwarding number to your Google voice number. Just be up front, tell them that you want to use Google voice, they will take care of it. I've been using Google voice for my voice mail for over a year now...
Works great..never had an issue...

You can actually do this yourself. In your dialer, hit menu, then settings. Go to call forwarding, and set it as such:
Always forward - Disabled
The other 3 set your Google Voice number, as +1xxxxxxxxxx with xxxxxxxxxx as your phone number. No dashes, no spaces.
Alternatively, you can absolutely call AT&T for this.
Afterwards, set your voicemail to google voice (also in dialer settings) and set google voice to auto sync. Done.
