How to get rid of google voice settings? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I tried to see what google voice does exactly and I seen its not necessary for me so I uninstalled it but noticed that its settings are still on. So I reinstalled it and went in the settings and signed out which was supposed to take it off completely but its still there. When I get a phone call and answer I always have to press "1" to answer. And I get txts and e mails of my voice mails which I don't like. How can I get rid of this completelyyy?

this is normal.. you have to login to GV in a web browser and change the settings.

You have to change call screening options.

Voicemail Indicator stuck

Wiped phone and used ODIN to flash stock ICS and have the standard voicemail indicator that won't go away. I was using GVoice before and have it running again and nothing I do get rid of the indicator. Anyone else?

Have someone leave you a new voicemail, then delete it. This will clear the notification...

Call your self from another phone and leave a voice mail and then delete it. Should fix the little problem

Also after you delete don't hang up immediately. Let it get back to the main menu. Fixed it for me when I had same problem.

I did that before and it didn't do it. Maybe now that GVoice is back on I switch it then switching back? Hmmm.
Edit:
Nope. No dice. My phone is always on GVoice. Does not switch over. I also don't get any settings options for either from voicemail carrier select. Grayed out for both.

Can you disable g voice? Also holding down 1 on keypad should let you call your voicemail and let you listen/delete it

I am starting to think that I cannot. I had switched off of GVoice and voicemail still went through it. And like I said I am not getting the option for settings in either...

Go to the g voice app and sign out. Have you tried that?
Sent from Samsung Galaxy SIV
No option for signing out. My voicemail go through GVoice and I check them through GVoice. Which is fine. Minus the default notification.

Got it. Called voicemail and sent a message to myself directly from there. Then deleted it and the indicator went away.

If you login into google voice through the webpage, you can disable it for your phone number. Then it will revert to TMobile.

Can't get Google voice to work

When I install Google voice and get to the part where it asks to use Google voice fit voicemail and select it, but there is no next button to continue. It says that I am using Google voice in the call settings, but all voicemails go to T-Mobile's voicemail.

Skip that part and move next.
Once setup is finished you can get the codes from Google voice webpage to use in the dialer to change voice mail settings.

How do I change the settings for that? Because when I try to change the voicemail number, it only allows me to choose either "voicemail" or "Google voice", it does not allow me to enter a number.

I had the same problem and I went into the call forwarding settings and changed the number there to my google voice number. seems to work now.
Call forwarding is blocked from me getting access to it.

This same topic was covered a couple of weeks ago so search, I'm too lazy to do it for you. The solution was to set it up online through a browser.
Got it, thanks! Here is the link to it incase someone else has the issue

Yeah, iirc the online fix just sets up call forwarding to your Google voice number.

Wifi texting

Ok I will be going to a place where no company gets signal, meaning I can't roam, but I will still have Wifi so I'm wondering what, if I can, do i have to do in order to get Wifi texting? I will and am running CM10 M2.
Thanks

Best thing I would do is use a free text service like text free since it uses data only.

Use Google voice with your current number. You should be able to text. But no mms

Any special way I have to set that up?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Nothing special just select to use your current number. I would sign up using a pc though. Far more options and easier to navigate. And then download the app and sign in with your login. G voice is an great service I don't know why more people don't use it

That one costs $2.99/month for the service. The regular Zipwhip app works, and it's free to use.

Personally I would just use google voice. Just download > link it to your sprint number > done. Only thing is google voice can't receive mms messages, like pictures / video. But you can still text and get voice mail, and no additional cost.

You actually can receive mms messages. You just have to set up Google Voice to where you want to receive messages with your email as well.
If someone says they sent you a picture and you don't see it using Google Voice, just check your gmail. and go through the conversation and you should see an attachment.

Vmail for 10.1?

Is there one? Does it work well?

Voicemail? Or is there an app called vmail?
I've been using Google voice. I switched over from the Sprint VVM when I made the move to CM10. I don't know if VVM works on 10.1 builds. GV works well and I don't get the extra text 9016 notification anymore like earlier CM versions.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yeah I was wondering if there was a voicemail app that worked. I just called it vmail for short. I'm tired of those 9016 notifications and having the app is just so convenient.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I've been pretty happy with Google voice. It seems to function as well as Sprint's network allows.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I'm checking it out. Are u forced to use its other features or can you just set it up so u only use voicemail?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Just voicemail. I can't remember exactly what to select, but just pay attention when you set it up. You can change settings easily from your Google account on a computer if needed. Do a quick search on how to setup GV without it taking over, that should give you the info you need.

Phantom voice mail?

How do I get rid of it?

Try calling from another phone and leaving a voicemail. Then check your messages. Usually gets rid of my phantom icon

What do you mean they don't get through? Like you can't call and leave a voicemail or you can't call and listen to them?

If you want to get rid of phantom icon and all messages have been heard!
Nq Battery Manager.....after go to optimize and walla, GONE!
There was no app with that exact name
But there were two that were similar
One with a blue icon and one with a green icon
I tried optimize in both
I still had phantom voice mail

when i had the evo4g and had the phantom icon, calling vm from another phone, leaving a message, waiting for it to show up, then calling from own phone & listening to the message, then delete it. then make sure all other messages are a listened to, also.
if you call your own number from another phone & do not get your voicemail, then it might be time to check with your provider.
After checking apparently no one can leave me voice mail

Try going back to a stock rom and do hands-free activation through the dialer. Also update PRL and profile
I will try this soon
Probably the week end

Did you try it? did it work?
Curious to know what ROM you are running. I think the only time I got this was when I was running CM10 or CM10.1
It didnt seem to appear on AOKP or anything based off stock ROM
