change voicemail number/speed dial

hi all! so i use google voice as my voicemail. i'd like to know if either/both of these are possible. ive seen this done on the S3 but can't seem to figure it out on the GN2:
1) in the phone, the hotkey for 1 takes you to your voicemail inbox. i'd like to change the number so that it calls the google voice inbox.
2) is there anyway to change the voicemail button (under the * key) to bring up google voice? as of right now it brings up the voicemail app.
Still looking for a solution to this =)
Can't help you. . My phone number is my Google voice number so it works and doing 1 for me dials my number does not bring up voice mail app

Google Voice Search vs S Voice

Had anyone noticed that the Google voice search is quite a bit faster than S Voice? Aside from launching apps or accessing the dialer, in don't think it's S Voice is useful. So does anyone know of a way to change the home key shortcut to google voice search?

Voice Commands

When I first had an Android phone I would have to go through a session talking to my phone, so it would get used to the nuances of my voice when I talked to it. This would allow me to use voice commands through a BT speaker in my car. Moving from Android to iPhone and Siri this was more seamless. Siri just picked up on my voice with no such session. Now that I am back to Android with the G Pro I see that the Voice Commands app still sucks when it goes to understanding the nuances of my voice, yet I do not see a way have that same talking session with the device.
So the question is what do ppl do when it comes to talking to your G Pro. Is Google Voice Search better, but how do I make it the default app instead of the terrible Voice Commands app?
Thanks,
Steve

The problem seems to be that when you use a BT car speaker the button you push to talk to the device is tied to Voice Commands, so I cannot seem to get around this, unless someone can tell me how I can change this so it will bring up Google Voice Search instead.

[Q] Options to change voicemail speedial number

Google Voice voicemail has been successfully configured on my phone. all unanswered calls will go to my Google Voice voicemail. i'd like to press-n-hold 1 on my dialpad to call Google Voice, but i'm unable to change preset the voicemail number because the setting is disabled. (See pic below). Is there another method to change this number to my Google Voice number? Thanks in advance to those who reply.
Looking for a answer to this also.
I just use the google Voice app instead of dialing anything. I have not used voice mail for years. It all goes to Google Voice and I get a transcript via text and it shows up in my gmail account.
Does yours work perfectly all the time? I've been using Google Voice for years and with my Note 2 and Note 3 is like 50:50 sending my voice mail to voice. Half the time it still goes to my tmobile voice mail.

I've never used Tmobile voice mail. Didn't use VZW when I was using it either.
On the Note 3 there are 4 forward settings that affect where calls go..
Always forward - I don't use this
Forward when busy - Set to Google Voice
Forward when unanswered - Set to Google Voice
Forward when unreachable - Set to Google Voice
You have to have the last 3 set to point to your Google voice number or you might still have messages sent to your t-mobile voice mail.
Settings -> Device Tab -> Call -> Additional Settings -> Call Forwarding
Thanks I just checked that and mine are all set to forward to my Google voice number as well. Still for some reason done of the voice mail messages go to my tmobile number.
