Ok guys I've search all over for this and have yet to find anything useful but does anyone know of an alternative google voice app because I have two google voice accounts that I use and would like to have both get notifications on my phone. Anyone know of anything that can help?
You can try talkatone should work

I've also used GrooveIP - although the last time I tried there was a nasty lag and echo, on both LTE and Wifi.
+1 for grooveIP. Tweak your settings to remove echo, I dont have any issues with sound quality.

So I found this app the other day, seems like a great idea, but it doesnt work for me on my custom rom at all. Anyone else play with this app?
App Summary
Allows you you to create a predefined list of who to use Google Voice or Your Cell Phone number to call.
There's also Voice Plus which does the same.

When not using Bluetooth my voice calls always answer with speaker phone on. How do I default the calls to SP off? I've searched and found a few ideas but none work.
Os this a Goolgle voice thing or related to my ROM? I use Caulkin and I have had this issue for aqhile.

Do you use GV to make & receive calls? Is your phone paired with your GV account, or do you simply use GV for voicemail?
I just use GV for voice mail.

hmm...never thought of that. ****s super annoying!!!
Nope, no Voxer. I'm not even sure when the problem started. It could have been before I started using Google Voice for voice mail (integrated with Sprint).
I haven't found any GV settings that would enable the speaker phone on the phone.

There is a GV setting for answering with speaker on. If your phone is integrated, it might be forcing your phone. Try changing that setting or even freezing GV and see if anything changes
I have this issue too wether I have apps or not installed and even b4 I rooted. I think it's a glitch with the phone itself. It's annoying! It doesn't always do it but when it does it looks stupid that I got the phone to my ear and then the person bust out on the speaker smh

Is it possible your phones are in car mode or the "Driving Mode" that the Samsung version of Vlingo installs? I think one of the car mode features is to automatically answer calls in speakerphone mode.

My driving mode is never on. It just does it idk y.. Maybe it saves the last calls setting so if you hang up on speakerphone the next call comes thru on it. Idk but I will test it out tomorrow and see.

I know this is months late, but my wife's phone just randomly started doing this. Go to voice talk in apps tray, then hit menu button, then scroll down to voice talk settings, then disable auto speaker on answer.
This just worked for us. Just in case anyone else comes looking for the answer.
Trying to see what there is for visual voicemail.. I've used good voice previously on Evo and just came back from an iPhone. Really miss this feature. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I use Google Voice exclusively. It has visual voicemail and it also lets you text/call from your computer which is a huge time saver.
I was trying to use google voice but I couldn't get it to validate.
google voice is great, I had issues getting it to work until I created a new google voice number instead of just a fowarding/voice mail number and then added the device through the web platform. It has worked ever since.
There is no build in visual voicemail for android afaik. Apple came up with their own protocol for that. As for 3rd party options, there is google voice like everybody mentioned but if you can't/don't want to use google voice then there are some apps on the market which require you to forward your unanswered calls to their number. There is always the privacy issue though which is why I do not use them.
I use Google voice on Verizon there's a YouTube video that I followed and work very well. Just go to your Google/voice.com and get a Google voice number and set it up like that.

To use Google Voice for voice mail you have to enable conditional call forwarding. For Verizon this is as easy as dialing *71 and then the 10 digit number. For Sprint I don't think it is that easy. You may want to call their customer care. Hopefully you can get it working, I'm not sure I could live without mine.

Thanks for the info. Will try gv again.
PF Voicemail+ it's free on the market and I've been using since the OG Droid days. It's perfect. I like the fact that it'll let you play the voicemail either over speaker or through the actual headset. Try it out :O

I use google voice. It is not the best at transcribing the voicemail, but you can play, pause, and delete right from the app.

Yes, I know, rebooting an old Thread. But it's better than starting a new one, right??
Based on reading this thread, as well as some other looking around I have done, it seems the only real options for free VVM are Google Voice, Youmail, or Visual Voicemail Plus.
I cannot use Google Voice. Not that I don't like it. I love using GV. However, my cell number is tied to the GV account that I use for work, so that I basically have a dual line cell phone (my VZW Number for normal stuff and the GV number for work stuff). With that, I cannot give my cell number to another GV account to get VoiceMail.
The market reviews for both YouMail and Visual Voicemail Plus leave much to be desired. Seems that for every review that says it is great, is a review that says it is crap. But, most people just review the app when it is causing issues, so it is not always a great idea to put stake in reviews. Wondering what the opinion is of people here.
One major problem I'm having on all ICS builds is the voicemail issue.. Visual voicemail always crashes and i have to dial out to retrieve my voicemails. Ive tried the clear data and force stop method but once you receive a new v mail the problem repeats itself. Has anyone found a solution? I refuse to use google voice..

Sprint VVM is borked in the ICS builds. I believe its a bug with the notifications. Uninstall it and use Youmail until its fixed. Youmail is a nice standalone alternative and easy to activate and deactivate.

Why all the hate with Google Voice? Im just curious. Its come in handy a few times.
Ok thanks Ill give youmail a try.. And i google voice is just to much for me.. It records your text messages and everything uploads all your info online.. It comes in handy but that's too much control. I don't need google knowing everything about me lol.

Can you use Youmail as a replacement for regular sprint voice mail?
I have elderly parents that if they can't reach me on my cell will leave me a vm instead of texting.
On CM9, if you push visual voicemail to system>app and set permissions, it'll stop it from crashing. The new problem is that it keeps retrying to "get your information" every time you open the app then.

Why do you refuse to use Google voice? I set it up without integrating it with my sprint number and telling it not to be used for any calls. Then, I see it as the ultimate vvm because I can get messages on my tablet, desktop chrome browser, etc. If you don't let it have the additional functionality, it behaves pretty much the same as the stock vvm... Unless I'm way off base?

I Just installed Google Hangouts Dialer to make free VOIP calls on my home wifi. Unfortunately, everyone I call sounds like their voice is slowed down 10x! My girlfriend sounds like a dying old man :crying:
Is anyone else having this problem? A google search shows that people are using Google Search app and Google Now settings to change this, and I have downloaded these apps and changed their settings to no avail.
