Google Voice problems with ICS

I have the galaxy nexus on verizon and i can't seem to get the google voice to work on it. What I mean by that is that I use google voice for my voicemail. and right now i can't use it.

Wrong section.
However, you have to go to http://voice.google.com and setup voice mail there. Have to dial *73[GV#] (or similar) on your phone and set it to use GV as your VM provider. Works fine on my phone.

Then it must be your phone because Mine works PERFECT WITH ANY ROM

Can you be a little more specific about the issue?
If it's just setting up voicemail, go to voice.google.com on a computer, click your phone number, click the configure voicemail link next to the phone entry. It should show exactly what number to dial on your phone to set it up for GVoice.
And yes, this should be in the Q & A forum. Maybe a mod will be kind enough to move the thread for you...

I'm curious ad to how he posted here with only 8 posts?

in the past with my 6 other android phones. i could just go into my phone settings and switch from carrier voicemail to google voice and i would be able to get voicemail in text form and also it would be stored on my google voice account.
now i can't access my voicemail. and even if i go on google voice on my computer the voicemails don't show up in my inbox. i have had this phone since 12-15-2011 and that was the last day i got a voicemail on google voice. when i set this phone up i have not got a google voice mail anymore. I went through the same steps as all my other phones. but for some reason it must work differently with verizon.

i'm an android developer. why wouldn't i be able to post?

*72 worked. thanks everyone

Typically it won't let you post in the dev section until you have 10 posts (because of threads like this). You had 8 when you posted here.

If you're coming from Sprint, you have to manually configure the phone for Google Voice as a VM client. Sprint allows GV to be automatically configured when you sign on to GV with the phone. I'm not sure about T-Mobile or AT&T for configuring GV but ever since GV came out, you've had to manually configure it for Verizon.

Per Google Voice Help Center:
If you are having trouble configuring Google Voice as your voicemail service on Verizon you can make the switch manually by dialing these three activation codes:
*71[Your Google Voice number]
*90[Your Google Voice number]
*92[Your Google Voice number]

I've had issues using G.Voice phone calls on ICS til NOW! . I normally used Groove IP on Froyo and Gingerbread, but it doesn't work on ICS... so I was all like NOOOO then found a thread somewhere about an app called SipDroid and that it does what Groove does. I downloaded it and gave it a try and BAM! it works!! So give it a try, it should work for you too

[Q] VZW Galaxy Nexus + Google Voice Installation

Has anyone had any trouble getting the google voice voicemail set up on the VZW galaxy nexus? Whenever i get to the voicemail section it gives me the error
"Carrier config: unfortunately your network carrier is currently not supported for automatic configuration. To use google voice as your voicemail provider, please visit google voice help center for more information".
Going to the help center has nothing on how to manually set it up.... My droid 2 had no problem setting this up automatically... am I missing something?

I've done those steps, but they didnt work. The *71, *90 and *92 also didn't work in my situation.
I eventually ended up uninstalling on the phone, and deactivating and then reactivating the vvm from the web admin panel. The *71 number worked, and then reinstalled voice on the phone. It worked after that.
It seems that the error i posted in OP is present always for verizon. Still works if you manually dial the instructed number. Not sure why....

try to have someone call you and leave a voicemail message. i've only had my nexus for a couple days but i was able to set google voice up on the first day. i got the error that it couldn't be set up the normal way but in the settings and everything it looked ok and i had someone leave me a message and everything worked like it was supposed to.

Hey I hate to bring up this old thread but Ive been troubleshooting this problem long enough so I figured I would ask here.
I'm having trouble getting google voice to work the way I want to. I set it up and it seems to work, whenever people leave me voice mails my google voice app pops up and transcribes it and gives me a notification of a new voice mail. But I cant seem to set custom voice mails for specific contacts. As a matter of fact I cant seem to change my voice mail at all...it just says my recorded name.
So I go on my computer to google voice and make changes to my voice mail greeting and these changes are not reflected in my phone. Also I call my google voice number on my phone and try to change the voice mail there but it also doesn't change it.
Sorry this is long and confusing but maybe one of you know what I'm talking about

google voice issue

have two Sprint phones. My primary phone is the Note 2 with my main phone number being my Google Voice number. The second phone is an S3 that is also set up with Google voice and pointing to my main phone number. Most features are working but I have an interesting problem that just started when I added the S3. Specifically, when I have both phones on sometimes the phone rings first on the S3 which may then answer the call and send the message to the Sprint Voice message app and not to Google voice. This is problematic since I often keep both phones on. Any ideas?
My second issue is when I reject a call by swiping the screen to reject the calls goes go the sprint voice message and not the Google.
Other than these issues everything else works. Calls go to both phones okay and calls out of both phones work okay and the caller I'd shows my Google voice number.

Isn't having two phones to one number the whole reason for Google voice?

Use the dialer code that you ran on the note 2, on the S3. The s3 is still set up with your Sprint voice mail, you need to forward it to your g voice mail.

you need to go to your GV settings https://www.google.com/voice/#phones/
and for your Forwarding Options: pick
Ring my other phones before going to voicemail
for both phones.

Does Google voice calls count against your plan minutes? I tried to set up my previous phone GS2 with Google voice too thru wifi but when I place a call the Sprint prompt saying my account could not be validated comes on

sprint - for reasons I don't understand - seems to have problems with "full google integration". Whatever that means.
as far as I can tell AT&T and Verizon have no issues.
I always install the Google Voice app on all my phones and make sure that all calls go through my GV number (because that's how I wish to use it).
I also make sure to update google voice app on Every phone it's on or your calls will get redirected. In other words GV has to be up to date on all phones for it to work properly
yes, google voice can be complicated, but I have found it quite convenient

Yea, it took me a few days to get it setup right the first time...and TBH, if I had to do it over again, I'd have to scratch my head for a few moments to remember what all I had to do. If you follow the setup page that Google posts on the GV page you should be fine....trying to set it up without reading any instructions will cause headaches.
But man has it saved my tail a few times. Last was only a few days ago, between car being worked on and not having wheels and my phone soft brick...only reason I got my phone back was thx to Google Voice and calling via computer.

Just sign into your Google voice account on a computer and go to settings (the little gear in the right corner). Right there on the first page of settings it should give you the option to disable Google voice on your sprint phone just hit that and your sprint number will ring separately from your Google voice number. Then you can give certain people your real number and others your Google voice one =D

Google Voice losing out to Tmobile Vmail ;)

Okay this is weird, I had a Galaxy S2 that I must have flashed new ROMS on at least 50 times and reinstalled all my software but this is the first time I've ever left my phone stock and now Google Voice doesn't work.
I've disabled Visual Voicemail by freezing it so it's not in the picture.
Voice is installed it's all signed in, background sync is on but when a call comes in it goes to TMobile's voice mail instead. Checked settings and voicemail is set to Google Voice.
Maybe because I never stayed on stock before I'm missing something?
Perplexed,
Kevin

try uninstalling and reinstalling it, that will probably work.

I'm going through the same exact scenario so ur not alone. Don't know why it won't let me setup correctly. I haven't spent too much time troubleshooting but I'll get on it soon.

Same issue here. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling voice, but still no luck. It's not a huge deal, but still kinda annoying.

Make sure your conditional call forwarding is set to forward to googles voicemail and not tmobiles. Did you just get a new sim card by any chance? The forwarding settings are stored on the sim card and I've had ROMs that simply wouldn't save the new voicemail forwarding settings... If this is the issue then go back to stock, reprogram your sim then reflash your desired ROM. Voicemail isn't handled through the "my carrier" or "Google voice" setting, its handled through conditional call forwarding.

Try deleting app from phone. Log on to Google voice on your computer. Will give u a "deactivate" code for you to disk on your phone. Then reinstall app & run setup on phone.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium

If you are on T-mobile prepaid plan, you do not have conditional call forwarding so you will not be able to use GV instead of T-mo's voicemail.

Problem solved. Just manually set the forwarding numbers (when busy/unreachable/unanswered) to your Google voice phone number. If ur like me and don't remember what it is just go to Google voice app settings and scroll down. Also make sure your voicemail is set to Google voice. This is all done under call settings. Ezz pzzzy

I solved the problem by calling TMO customer service and having Visual VoiceMail removed from my account. Nasty stuff, that app. It hijacked my voice mails, so that when I accessed them through normal voice mail retrieval, I never had any new messages...they were all automatically marked as "saved." :silly:

Came here after searching... Same issue. I changed conditional call forwarding and will see if that works. Silly question, no additional charges for call forwarding?

I had this same issue. It appears that Google Voice no longer sets up the call forwarding for you. I had to go into the conditional call forwarding and it worked after that. I believe they're there for unanswered, unable to reach and unavailable and they forward after that.

I had the same issue as everyone - go through the online setup from voice.google.com again and it will give you the magic # code that will update all your call forwarding and that does it for me - in addition to the settings menu that allows google voice to handle my voicemails.
Now i see voicemails in the call log and google voice is integrated there.
dont recall the hascode - but it will contian your google voice number as the end portion - this will forward all calls (from the network side) based on the status of your phone (out of range, no answer, and rejected) - you could have them each go to a different number if you really wanted to

Question Help with Google Voice (Voicemail) on this device

This used to work well on past devices but um not so much anymore lol.
All I'm looking to do is have Google Voice pick up my voicemails. I'm on Verizon and the part I'm not fully understanding is do I need a Google phone number to complete this action?
This used to work with just my basic cell phone number.
Any help would be appreciated

I honestly don't know the question to this, but I suspect people have to call you using your Google Voice phone number in order to be able to leave a voicemail. If you've signed up for Google Voice, then you have a Google Voice number, whether you're using it (or giving it out to others) or not.
It used to be you could select Google Voice as the voicemail provider in the Google Phone app. Then, several years ago when the Voice app v5 came out, I found we had to use a workaround to still be able to select Google Voice as the voicemail provider. At the time, you had to install the old Voice app v4.7, which you could then set up (sign into) and then select Voice as your voicemail provider, then you could upgrade the Voice app. As long as you never manually selected anything differently, the Phone app would visually show that nothing was your voicemail provider, but Voice would remain it.
Eventually, I found that I could no longer sign into the v4.7 Voice app on fresh setups and new devices, so it became impossible to set Voice as the voicemail app at all.
I know people still leave me voicemails successfully without this workaround, but I've given my Google Voice phone number out as my preferred number for the 11-12 years I've used Google Voice.
I'm always surprised Google doesn't kill Voice. I think they're waiting until everyone gets completely comfortable that they're not going to get rid of it, and then hit us when we least suspect.

I thought it was dead years ago when I couldn't get it working, but reviews show some people are having success with it.
From what I gather, I got to get a Google number. Set up a voicemail. Dial *72 (or something) with the new Google voice number to have calls forward from my cell phone to the Google number for it to go to G voice voicemail.
Technically this is a lot of work just to get a transcript of what's being said but that's the thing I miss the most

I'm a little confused. If you already have signed up for Google Voice, then you have a Google Voice phone number. On a computer or in Chrome on the phone, when you visit https://voice.google.com/, do you see your Google Voice phone number on the right? I've circled it in red near the top right where mine is displayed.
If you have the Google Voice website's window too small it won't show the right-hand side information, at least by default. You can also click the Gear icon at the top right above where your Google Voice phone number is displayed to set up Voicemail options. I used to use a personalized voicemail message, but now I use a default that Google provides since I have so many SPAM calls and I don't want it to give my name to them - although the Phone app automatically handles most SPAM for me, I'm including phone calls that I just don't want and lumping them in with calling them SPAM too.

I don't remember about this part. I might have, but since I don't experiment with flashing ROMs, or factory reset for any other reason, I just don't have to set mine up often enough to remember. I know it tells you what you need to do, but you could achieve the same thing if you're already signed up for Google Voice by wiping the Voice app's data and cache, launching it, and setting it up from scratch.

It's always been well worth it for me. I can't tell you the last time I've actually listened to a voicemail - except for some unwanted calls, just verifying the voicemail was blank since there was no transcription. I also have Google Voice email me the transcription as well.
I'm sure that Google's improved their transcription ability, too, as it used to be that I only had one or two particular family members who spoke more slowly, whose voicemails would be transcribed more accurately, but now even some others who didn't use to be, are more accurate now.
I mostly use Google Voice to be able to text from my computer. I know I can set Google Messages up to be able to text from my computer or use Microsoft's Your Phone, or whatever they're calling it now, to do the same I think, but I just prefer using Google Voice since I don't have to do any special setup in Windows for it or have any additional software running.

Nope no number. It gives me the option to request one. No problem. I just didn't need to do that in the past for this to work.
I see Verizon also offers visual voicemail. I can turn that on in phone settings but I can't find a Verizon Visual Voicemail app.
I don't know where the transcripts would be stored. I hope it's not on that stupid My Verizon app

The only number it shows linked to my Google voice account is my cell number. But that by itself does nothing. I wish after 3-4 rings In could just have Google voice take over. But that's not happening. Like you I used TB in the past to backup and restore so I don't remember what the proper procedure was either but I'm pretty sure it's changed

^ I was just about to suggest the My Verizon app, but it also has been 5-6 years since I've used Verizon and I never used their Visual Voicemail. I have no idea if this Verizon Visual Voicemail FAQ is up to date. They say just use the app without telling where you get it from, so they assume it's already on the phone I guess:
How do I use Visual Voicemail on Android?​
To use Visual Voicemail on your Android phone, open the Visual Voicemail app to view a list of your voicemails. You can play, delete and manage them in any order. If you would like to be able to read a transcription of each message on Android, subscribe to Premium Visual Voicemail.

Maybe this Verizon page will help since it has a "Get it now" button. I wouldn't hold my breath, though. I like keeping away from carrier-specific solutions, although in your case, if phone calls to your real cell number don't go to Google Voice voicemail even after you get a GV # and do any optional setup, then I suppose it will be easiest on everyone to use Verizon's solution unless you find it just doesn't work that well. I know others have sworn by it, from what I read over the years on XDA, but I swore by my 2008 Verizon flip phone's GPS service, which worked great for my purposes at the time.

Hopefully, I'm wrong and after you further setup GV the calls to your regular # go to GV voicemail, although it won't surprise me if that's not the case. So much changes with Google constantly, it's impossible to stay on top of every change that affects us - I deal with that at my work where we use Google for everything, and our small department deals with them much more than the average person at the company.

Well I think I'm up and running. Requested a Google voice number. Dialed *71 with the new number (for Verizon)
Google Voice picking up voicemails ever since.
