A friend left me a voice mail but his number did not show on the phone call log. This is kinda new since I always got the person's number in the log using my Exhibit 2 running gingerbread. Is this usual on ICS? It's not a good system because incase I did not know the person and they do not leave a call back number, I would not be able to get back to them. Anyone else have this issue?
Running Stock 4.0.4
Did it not show in the call log in the phone app or voicemail? I use Google Voice for voicemail and it shows everything about the contact. Its supposed to show in the phone app, it does for me.

Didn't show on the phone app. It displayed the voice mail icon on the status bar, if not I would not have known there was a call. It doesn't show the number in voice mail either which might be due to tmobile. I can get the number through the voice mail system but its a pain if I need to dial it since it its read out by the machine. Not using goggle voice facilities here.
I made this simple video just because my device didn't ship with AT&T Visual Voicemail preinstalled, and it is a feature included in my plan.
Perhaps some people don't know it is included in their plan. Either way, a lot of people viewed my video for the S3.
Be gentle. Thanks...
I only wish the visual voicemail app would have the unread count bubble on the icon like the email app and text app...
Yeah. The widget isn't much of a widget huh?

I want bubble icons also... :good:
You can also set up Google Voice to do this, it also tells you how many new voicemails you have, don't know about the bubble though
This video shows the dialer codes you want to punch in to forward to your Google Voice number...
--------------------------------
This phone requires a little more input than my CDMA phones. Sorry.. . This was the last video and was taken early in the morning. I was really tired.
Really this should work for all phones on AT&T. iPhones and Android phones.

Check current config: *#61# Call (copy your current phone number for your voicemail!)
Google Voice (best configuration)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Busy Call Forwarding: Dial *67* plus the 10-digit number to which your calls should be forwarded and #. Press Send.
Call Forwarding No Reply: Dial *61* plus the 10-digit number to which your calls should be forwarded and #. Press Send.
Call Forwarding Not Reachable: Dial *62* plus the 10-digit number to which your calls should be forwarded and #. Press Send.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I would not use this unless you are on vacation and want everything to forward or you are changing phone numbers.
Immediate Call Forwarding: Dial *21* plus the 10-digit number to which your calls should be forwarded and #. Press Send.

I have tried several times to set up this system
Even whe VVM calls the voice it does not disconnect as in the video
Is there another step I am missing

I've had problems with the One X. Reinstall or try everyday. Then go to AT&T I guess. I finally got lucky with the One X.

check with att whether your data plan has visual voicemail.. I had to talk to att for an hour until they figured out my unlimited data plan did not include visual voicemail. they switched it to anotther unlimted data plan with visual voicemail and it started working.
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.
Thanks that send to work.

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 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.

I'm used to the iOS voice app that has an embedded dialer. Is there an analog in Android? Even though I have GV set to ask whether to use GV or my cell number to dial, it seems the only way to dial is to choose a contact from GV app. Using the native dialer always dials from my cell #.
Is there a hidden feature or alternate app for dialing?
You don't need Google voice that's a completely different service. Use google now its much better and it will search anything from any screen by saying "OK google" once you set it up. I'll attach some screen shots for you.

Thanks, but that's actually not the issue - I'm trying to use Google Voice to that it sends my office phone number as callerID when I call clients from the road. Unfortunately, Google's brilliant (not!) use of "Voice" for the name of a service makes searching impossible to find help on the app. (Google Voice Dialing, as in Dialing with the Google Voice cloud app)
I'm actually using google voice for a second phone line I use with clients. It rings on my desktop and forwards to my cell. I would like to be able to dial out from my G3 using Google Voice so that the callerID that gets sent is my office number, not my cell number. As I said, if I select a contact from the GoogleVoice app, it asks whether to dial with the GVoice app (which goes through a telephone gateway with the Office CallerID), or to dial with the native phone app, which would send my cell phone CallerID.

Groove ip should enable your google voice number to be the native caller id.

Thanks - I'll give it a try; that's a VoIP solution though, right? I was hoping for an ability to direct dial (from the gv app). I'm still discovering some of the weird things that work better under iOS than android, and am kind of surprised when it's the native Google stuff that is "behind".
Yehp, it's done wonders as my office phone, you could at the least have it request permission when dialing to which number you'd like to use, just a click away, about the same or less amount of clicks you'd use compared to going into gv, selecting a contact, and dialing. With groov normal contacts, select or dial, await popup for which dialer you wish to use, and bam!
If you go into the Google Voice app on your G3 and then go into the Settings for the Google Voice app, you should see an option entitled "Making calls". In that section you have 4 choices to select from for how you want Google Voice to behave when you make a call from your phone using the native phone app:
1) Use Google Voice to make all calls
2) Do not use Google Voice to make any calls
3) Only use Google Voice for international calls
4) Ask every time I make a call
It sounds like you'd prolly want to go with option 4. That way when you go into the Phone app on your G3 and dial a number to place an outgoing call, Google Voice will pop up and ask you if you want the outgoing call to be placed with either your Google Voice number or your "real" phone number that you got from your carrier. This way you have the choice presented to you for every outgoing call you make from your G3.
I've used Google Voice for years now and this is how it's always worked. I use option 1 for my own needs on my cell phone because I just give everyone my Google Voice number and never give out my "real" cell number except to a few choice friends and relatives, so I always want my outgoing calls to show my Google Voice number to the person I'm calling.
Hope that helps you out.
That works too ^^^^^^^^
The thing is I started using groove when google voice would not allow me to make any calls using the app its self ....
*edit*
I forgot before I said that, yes you can make calls with gvoice, but your caller id will be some other number.
GrooVe IP will allow you to make a call whether on wifi or data (note the full ver is the one that allows the data call) Google's a thing..... and it will also show your gvoice number as the number you are calling from, as well as you can recieve calls to your device instead of just acquiring a voicemail to call back from....
[SOLVED]
Okay, so something that was installed, or uninstalled, as I was fiddling with the phone caused GVoice to lose its hook into the calling processes. Uninstalling GVoice and then reinstalling (from the Play store) re-attached it and now it seems to be working correctly. Thanks for everyone's suggestions!

Just a clarification for future searchers - yes, this is supposed to be how it works but somehow my phone stopped doing this. No matter what the setting was, dialing from the phone app dialed with the cell number, and choosing a received message or missed/placed call from the Voice app would dial using the Google Voice interchange. It was weird and, apparently, very unusual behavior.
