Got Visual Voicemail Working again, but I still get a text from 9016 and this is what is says
"//ANDROID: (NUMBER HERE) has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call (Number Here) to listen MMSN, bfcae285f0,3866,v67akgj+fxk//CM
Then When I reply STOP to it this is what I get
Message from 9230
Message sent using invalid number of digits. Please resend using 10 digit number or valid short code. Msg 2114
Anyone know how to disable this?
Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the app?

To get VVM to work in the 1st place I had to use Titanium Backup and back it up from a ROM (I used Synergy) that it was working on. Then I restored it on this ROM and it works perfect... I just get that annoying text as well... When I called that number it did set up the service and I had to dial *38 to disable all call forwarding and reactivate my VMM... (followed directions from the Sprint website) and that worked... Just dont know how to disable the text as it appears not to be a valid number to block.

What texting app are you using? Because if you were using handcent, you should be able to blacklist it.

Go to your messages inbox. Click on the title bar at the top that says messages and has an arrow. You should see a drop down with three options "general" "secure" and "block" click on block and it'll take you to your blocked inbox. Hit menu then click on block list. Add 9016 to block list then click done. Now go back to your messages inbox and hit menu and click on settings, click on "general" and scroll to the bottom, you should see "save blocked messages" unselect the box. That should fix it for you!
Oh, and just a heads up, if you have never used the secure or blocked inboxes, it will have you set up a password when you click on "blocked" in the dropdown menu.
So I just got my GN, and it's pretty freakin awesome! One thing I noticed though is that if I swipe calls to the left to ignore, it sends them to my new voicemail on verizon as opposed to my GV. If I let it ring all the way through though, then it routes to GV. It's not a super big deal because I can just push the power button and ignore calls that way, but still...
Also, the messaging sends through regular texts, and not GV...this last part I had heard before, but in case anyone else didn't know that.
Here's hoping they update the GV app to take care of these things.
My voicemail routing works correctly, however you're right on the auto-reply texts. Even with Google Voice set as the default action for messaging, they still send via the stock app.

Are you on verizon?
I went through a hassle to get Google Voice setup correctly on this phone. Had to upgrade my Voice account to a full Google Voice number, instead of just a voicemail number. Doesn't really matter, since I'm only using the voicemail functionality of it, but still.
Go to the phone and call *71 and your number (so *718001112222 if your GV number was 800-111-2222) and it'll set the call forwarding up correctly. Just have to make sure it's a *FULL* Google Voice number (can be done on the website - voice.google.com)

Yes, I am on Verizon. I use a full Google Voice account for calls, voicemails, and texts, and have call screening services turned off. I now use it on Galaxy Nexus and a Galaxy Tab 10.1; it's a wonderful setup.
On a side note, I did not have to call the routing number to set up my Voicemail forwarding. I simply selected "ok" both times during the Android setup process, ignoring the warnings about "incompatibility."
You should double-check your settings: https://www.google.com/voice#phones

My send to Google voicemail is working correctly when I dismiss a call, but the text messaging option still tries to use the built in messaging app even though I disabled it.
Anyone know a way to force it to use Google Voice for text messaging?
Thanks for suggestions everyone. Just did the *71 thing and will check to see if it worked when I get to work.
Not sure what you mean by full gv account... I use it for everything, so I'm assuming I am on full.
I also pushed OK and ignored the incompatible warning, but that didn't work last night... Maybe because of 4.0.2? Either way, hopefully im fixed now.

Edit: Just checked, the *71 plus the GV number did the trick. Thanks again everyone.
I looked around and found similar-ish issues but not quite the same... I have a VZ GN and normally it works well, I get texts with just "Contact Name (number of texts)" but ever so often I will get a text with "Contact Name (xxx) xxx-xxxx" where the phone number is nothing even close to correct - weird area codes especially. then I'll have two threads from the same contact - one correct but one bizarre.
I've added the phone number to the contact in the past and it doesn't come back, but now I'm really starting to wonder WHY this is happening in the first place.
Thoughts?

If you're using the stock SMS app (rather than the Google Voice app) to send/receive text messages (using your Google Voice number), you'll see exactly what you're describing. The number you see will basically be a forwarding number used by Google to get your message to the right person.
From what I've seen, the number will be unique to each contact, but won't have anything to do with their actual number. Everything will be correct on their end though, and your messages will be exchanged with the correct recipient.

Right, and I am using the stock SMS app - but I don't think I'm using GV. The only thing I use it for is visual voicemail (forward all calls to GV which then get routed back to my phone) but I have it set so all my calls use my regular number. People don't text me on my GV number... I don't think...
Hmmm...

You can check at http://voice.google.com. If you see the messages there, they were sending them to your GV number.

If I ever delete all messages and then when I go to send a message to someone who has multiple numbers saved I have no idea which # to send a message to. That is prob what happened.
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?

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!
First, I have a d2tmo so I'm unfamiliar with the d2spr builds. I'm actually writing about my brother's and I haven't seen this issue mentioned in other threads. Basically the problem is twofold:
(1) He can access his phone's internal voice mail just fine and it registers his key presses perfectly. But when he tries to access his work voice mail, it seems as if it does not register his key presses at all (i.e. when he tries to press a key to delete or do anything, it just continues as if nothing had been pressed). This so far seems to only affect accessing his work voicemail remotely. I confirmed it is working on my d2tmo. Have there been key press issues with the dialer?
(2) Whenever he gets voice mails, two things happen. First, he gets an SMS saying "[Person] has sent you a voice SMS message, please dial [CA phone number] to listen." When he dials it, it gives him a busy signal. He also gets random texts from #9016 saying he's received a voice mail as well. From what I've read this sometimes is caused by visual voice mail issues on different phone models, but he has no visual voice mail installed. Is this a common issue with the GSIII?
Other than these two issues, he loves CM 10.1, so I'd like to help him out and solve them.
Any help is appreciated; thanks.

Well known problem.... It's how Sprint notifies the visual voicemail app to download the message.
You can download root call blocker and permanently block them, but you will never get another notification as to you having a message.
Option 2 is what I did. I installed Sprint Visual Voicemail, downloaded Red List from the marketplace. Turned off stock message notifications to hide the text, in the redlist app I blacklisted 9016 and turned on the notifications in it. This causes the notification to come from redlist, not the message app and redlist deletes the text messages so you don't have to deal with them. They pop through with just enough time for the VVM app to know to download it so you get your messages as well.
Theres a fix for the text from 9016, try googling "disabling texts from 9016 cm10" because it was an issue starting wih jellybean for most phones
