I have been jumping from different versions of ICS roms and was unhappy with all the bugs. Somewhere along the line sprint vvm stopped working. I decided to odin back to stock el29 with root. Sprint vvm still doesn't work. I also don't get any notification of my voice mails. I can get voice mails by holding down the #1 key, but have no idea if I have any. How can this happen on a stock el29 rom? I did try out google voice and it works, but i just like sprints better. Could google voice be blocking something? Also, last week people were telling me that my caller id was showing some strange number instead of mine. Any thoughts at all???
*edit*
I also updated my prl and profile after the odin to el29 still no go.
Sounds like you've linked your number with Google voice. You have to unlink it to get vvm working. Try Google.com/voice to get to settings

That was it. Thanks man!
I am having the same problem, no voice mail. I'm not with Sprint I'm on Ting. I have the Google Voice app on my phone. I wanted to use it mainly to do free texting and therefor I don't have my voice or voice mail routed through GV. I cannot unlink my cellphone from GV (Google won't let me) but my phone is not activated on GV.
Edit:
After looking on my account for my carrier I found a settings page that had different options for my phone and voicemail wasn't checked off so I checked it and now I have voicemail.
Does anyone know what phone.apk i can use to get my voicemail ... running boostmobile... thanks

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
My gf's phone has been having some issues with google voice for awhile now. She's always wanted the stock incredible VVM back, but no one's ever been able to find it on other forums. If anyone has the stock VVM for the phone, I think she would like that better.
If not...
Her issue is that whenever someone calls her phone it always has different responses. Some people call and say the number is unavailable, others say it asks for her subscriber number. I've called three times now and i've had those two errors along with one that actually got through. The problem is that she isn't receiving all her calls, which anyone on this forum can attest that this is a MAJOR issue, especially while she hunts for jobs. If ANYONE can figure out a solution to this problem it would be awesome. I've searched the web for weeks trying to find a solution or even an alternate VVM, but I haven't had any luck.
I just need to figure out one of the following:
- how to get back stock Incredible VVM
- how to fix or permanently get rid of google voice
- find an alternative VVM that works decently and can get past this google voice issue.
Any help would be appreciated...
Phone is Verizon Droid Incredible running CM7 version 7.0.3-inc
What are her Google Voice settings set to? Open GV and navigate to: Menu/More/Making Calls? This setting should be set to "Do not use GV to make calls." I've been using it for about a year and across different roms with absolutely no problem, so this is a surprise to me.
To remove Google Voice (no don't do it, stop...aight I'm done):
If you want to remove GV, sign into her Google account from a computer, along the black Google title bar click on "More" then select GV from the list of Google services. Now, click the gear icon below your account name and there is a "deactivate Google Voicemail on this phone" link in blue. Once you deactivate Google Voice, your Verizon voicemail should be working. I haven't personally done this, cuz I actively use GV. I believe your Verizon voicemail is *86 if you want to access it over the phone. If you want, call Verizon to ensure the second phone (the GV account) number is disconnected from the account as well. Last step requires you to call and test her voicemail to make sure they come through.
P.s. Doesn't every rom include Voicemail Settings under Settings/Call? Does changing your settings there fail as well?

thanks that got rid of it. i also found how to set it back to the carrier voicemail like you said. i like google voice, but that problem not being able to receive calls 50% of the time just kills the functionality of a phone almost. i wish i knew the deeper problem of it so i could make it fully functional. thanks though, this fix will work for now.
Not a problem, sucks that you had that issue arise. Glad I could help.
I am new to Verizon, I just switched from Sprint aft 12 years with them(was tired of waiting for 4G). On my previous Sprint phone I had Google Voice installed, and I could send and receive SMS messages through GV. Now on my Galaxy Nexus, I will receive them fine, but when I try to reply to a message, it takes me to the native Messaging app. And now there is no option to create a message on the main screen.
What I have tried so far:
Selected "Via Google Voice app" under the GV "Receive Text Messages" option- several times
Uninstall and re-install GV- 2 times
Deactivate and reactivate the phone on the GV website- 2 times
And even onetime of uninstall, deactivate, reactivate, and reinstall
Anyone have anything else I should try?
I have the same problem

google voice with sprint had native support.
The problem I have with Google voice on Verizon is when I send a text from gv to another number its fine. When somebody texts my gv number it shows a completely random number as the sender. Really weird. I haven't called Verizon yet to see if they know anything. I think its something to do with what version does with the text once its received from gv before passing it along to me.

One of the three things I am going to miss with Verizon. others are unlimited data and cheaper bill.
I do not use my Google Voice number, I just got Google Voice for the integrated voice mail that I had with Sprint.

This should only happen if you're having SMS forwarded to your Messaging app. If you receive them only via the GV app, you won't get the weird numbers.
I've used Google Voice on Sprint for ages, and loved the texting it offered. However, when I switched to the Galaxy Nexus (Sprint) it broke, and hasn't been fixed. Google knows of these problems, but they haven't fixed them, and they basically have the worst customer support ever.
Hi,
I have an issue with Google voicemail on my Galaxy S4 running Wicked v4. I've searched regarding google voice issues, but none seem to describe what I'm experiencing...
When someone calls my phone and I let it ring all the way through, then the caller gets my Google voicemail greetings and is able to leave me a voicemail in the Google voicemail system.(works as intended)
However, when someone calls me and I manually reject the call while it's ringing, the caller gets to my carrier's voicemail....
I'm expecting it to forward to my google voicemail, but it's not working as expected.
I'm on T-Mobile.
- I have set up a google voice number that's forwarding to my carrier number on my phone.
- I've enabled voicemail on it and configured the phone by punching in the *004*##### code provided by Google voice instructions.
- I have also checked my phone's configuration under Call Forwarding to forward to my Google number when busy, unanswered and unreachable.
- I have set the "Voicemail service" in my configuration to use Google Voice.
- In the Google Voice Settings on my browser, I have set the Forwarding Options for "When someone calls this phone directly and I don't pick up" to "Go straight to voicemail".
I have also called T-Mobile and have them DISABLE my whole voicemail on the carrier. So I have no voicemail box on T-Mobile system.
Someone stated that the T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail could be interfering with the calls... but in Wicked ROM, the Visual Voicemail has been removed and not installed.
I'm at a loss... What else could I have set to make it work?
Sounds like you've tried just about everything except one thing I found helpful. Deactivate then reactivate your Google voice service through your GV settings via a PC. See if that does it

Hmm... Doesn't seem to do the trick. I'm starting to think it's something to do with Wicked ROM... but as I'm a newbie, I cannot reply to the ROM's thread. If it really is Wicked ROM's incompatibility, I may have to switch ROM... Too bad, I really like Wicked. :/
A bit off topic:
I also notice a new issue with the new Google Maps on the same phone. It's a tad inconvenience that I can't post to the ROM's thread to see if the other users of the same ROM are also experiencing the issues I'm having.
I have used google voice for my business for the past 8 years or so and never had issues w/ GV voicemails until recently. Now, when I get a call on my GV # and don't answer, the call goes directly to my carrier voicemail w/ no way to fix - I've tried everything. Anyone else? Is this a back-end issue w/ Google?
edit: the verizon call forwarding does work but it forwards all calls to my GV voicemail now w/ no way to seperate between personal and business.

I haven't had any issues, I use google voice as a second phone number and it's been working fine. I just popped my sim out of my old phone, put it in the new pixel 3 and installed google voice and I was back up and running, didn't do a thing else. I also use it for my voicemail though, so I actually want the situation in your edit...
Are you somehow forwarding from google voice back to your carrier number? Without any forwarding at all it should behave as 2 totally separate lines, carrier # to carrier voicemail, gv # to gv voicemail, so if gv is going to carrier voicemail then there's something somewhere telling it to... I'm not aware of any backend problems with Google in this stuff, mine seems to be working fine, but you could try their support maybe...

Thanks for chiming in. Yeah I didn't port my number so I have the gv # forwarded to my carrier number. Is there another way to keep them both separate?
I'm not sure, I think just forwarding one to another is the only way to get them commingled like that...
Same issue here. Worked fine for the last 5+ years. As soon as I got the 3 that was the end of that. Can't get it working no matter what I try.
I have the same issue: calls don't ring and go straight to voicemail. Do Not Disturb is off. Verizon is my carrier.
I've used GV for years with several phones: 2XL, Moto X, LG G3.
As an aside, I'm noticing missed notifications using other apps, too. I'm wondering if it has to do with Android 9 notifications?
I ported my number to GV about a year ago. I use it for everything, calls, texting , and voicemail. I knew it was working, but I just tested to double check, and all is well.
Go to voice.google.com on a web browser. Click side menu select legacy. Click settings gear. Deactivate Google voicemail on this phone (your mobile). Then activate Google voicemail mail on said phone. Dial the code and it should work. I had to do this yesterday on att
