[Q] Google Voice Not Sticking - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Anyone having any issues with Google Voice? I set mine up, and it wasn't working and I realized that I had to change the forwarding numbers from within the calling app, so I did that, and it was fine for a few days, but now it's not working again...advice, thoughts?

I had to delete my Note II in Google Voice, then re-add it as the Note 3.
Verify the code that it calls you with and hit the Activate Google voicemail on this phone link, which will give you the long code to put in.
It worked after I did this.
Here is the link to the Google Voice help page: https://support.google.com/voice/answer/165656?hl=en&ref_topic=3038506
I remember having to do this when I got my Note II, also.

I had to do this as well. Now Voice answers for my VM, but the text transcript doesn't get sent. It worked before. I'm I missing a setting or something?

[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

Problems with google voice on CM7 Droid Incredible

My gf's phone has been having some issues with google voice for awhile now. She's always wanted the stock incredible VVM back, but no one's ever been able to find it on other forums. If anyone has the stock VVM for the phone, I think she would like that better.
If not...
Her issue is that whenever someone calls her phone it always has different responses. Some people call and say the number is unavailable, others say it asks for her subscriber number. I've called three times now and i've had those two errors along with one that actually got through. The problem is that she isn't receiving all her calls, which anyone on this forum can attest that this is a MAJOR issue, especially while she hunts for jobs. If ANYONE can figure out a solution to this problem it would be awesome. I've searched the web for weeks trying to find a solution or even an alternate VVM, but I haven't had any luck.
I just need to figure out one of the following:
- how to get back stock Incredible VVM
- how to fix or permanently get rid of google voice
- find an alternative VVM that works decently and can get past this google voice issue.
Any help would be appreciated...
Phone is Verizon Droid Incredible running CM7 version 7.0.3-inc
What are her Google Voice settings set to? Open GV and navigate to: Menu/More/Making Calls? This setting should be set to "Do not use GV to make calls." I've been using it for about a year and across different roms with absolutely no problem, so this is a surprise to me.
To remove Google Voice (no don't do it, stop...aight I'm done):
If you want to remove GV, sign into her Google account from a computer, along the black Google title bar click on "More" then select GV from the list of Google services. Now, click the gear icon below your account name and there is a "deactivate Google Voicemail on this phone" link in blue. Once you deactivate Google Voice, your Verizon voicemail should be working. I haven't personally done this, cuz I actively use GV. I believe your Verizon voicemail is *86 if you want to access it over the phone. If you want, call Verizon to ensure the second phone (the GV account) number is disconnected from the account as well. Last step requires you to call and test her voicemail to make sure they come through.
P.s. Doesn't every rom include Voicemail Settings under Settings/Call? Does changing your settings there fail as well?

thanks that got rid of it. i also found how to set it back to the carrier voicemail like you said. i like google voice, but that problem not being able to receive calls 50% of the time just kills the functionality of a phone almost. i wish i knew the deeper problem of it so i could make it fully functional. thanks though, this fix will work for now.
Not a problem, sucks that you had that issue arise. Glad I could help.

Galaxy SIII and AT&T Voicemail question

I'm trying to set up my google visual voice mail account on my galaxy s 3. When I'm trying to synchronize my visual voicemail account with at&t I keep getting error messages. I am attaching screenshots of these error messages. I have already set up the regular voice mail account through at&t, which I orignally thought was the issue . Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I need to do in order to get this to work properly?

I was going to start off by saying "OMG do a search" but realized that when they merged the forums, not everything made it over...
So anyways, here's my post from the old forums, with details on how to fix Google Voice:
Actually, I found a workaround I had to use with the Infuse...
Yes, you have to do the call forwarding code again: *004*[Google Voice Number]#
Then in your dialer settings, select Google Voice as your voicemail service. It will give you an option box popup which asks you to hit cancel or OK. Just hit the home button to leave the menu. When you go back in, Google Voice is selected, your Google Voice # is your voicemail number, and everything is set up properly.

When you see the "Change provider?" popup, just hit the home button. Next time you go in, you'll see GVoice is configured.
I believe I have it working now as far as forwarding voicemails, however, I thought Visual Voicemail was integrated in to the dialer now? I went in to "Settings" in Google Voice and selected to display on dialer, but I haven't seen anything yet. Is this feature not compatible with AT&T and/or the Galaxy SIII?

Not sure but think you can use that AT&T messages app for visual VM

[Resolved]Google voice mail not working?

So I installed Google voice to use their visual voice mail, and found that it installs fine, sets it as the default VM in the phones call settings, but when I received a call, tmo voice mail gets the redirect. I can't seem to figure this out. Anyone have a clue on this?

Bump... Anyone?
It's not just GV either, any of the market visual voicemail apps are not working either.
Any ideas?
You did go to http://voice.google.com and actually enable Voice on your line, right?
Interesting enough, that was the issue. I had google voice installed on my previous MT4G and it was all automated and worked fine before, but now that I'm on jellybean it said the install was fine but it never would trip over to GV, but now after re-registering the phone in my google voice settings, it worked.
Thanks for that.

Verizon Note 4 Google Voice Setup Issues

Is anyone having issues getting Google Voice to work with their Note 4? I've never had an issue with it before... I've done the whole *71 (GV#), *90 (GV#), *92 (GV#). All after setting up the GV app...
I don't understand! I've done it several times now. But still when I call my number from a different phone, I just get a "We could not complete your call - please try again" after like 8 rings or whatever... No chance to leave VM. I don't get it....
I'm about to flip, so I thought I'd toss the question over to the best and brightest.
Thanks in advance for your help!
So I guess I'm the only one with this problem - haha.
Several views but no response means something. But not sure what it means yet.
I'm not having this problem. When i swapped out my sim card from my S5 after leaving best buy, all i did was download the GV app and set it up and thats it. Didn't dial any of the *71 or whatever. I'm receiving calls and voice mail.

Hey thanks for this! I actually figured out what happened..... (This is weird)
So I went to Google Voice (via chrome on my PC) and my old Google voice number wasn't showing up anymore. Like there was no Google voice number any longer. What I was entering was my "Google Voice ACCESS number". So naturally it wasn't working and frankly for whatever reason, I had no actual Google Voice number to tie to anyway.
So I got a new Google Voice number and then used that instead, and all worked perfectly. (Although it rang too many times that way).
So cue your suggestion and now it goes straight to the Google Voice voice-mail the second it forwards. So now it works and I have the right number of rings.
I have no idea why my old number disappeared. Especially when it was working on my Note 3 just days before... Oh well. Works now!
weird thing is i can't do the *71 to enable it on my phone anymore. says, welcome to verizon, your call cannot be completed as dialed. so call forwarding is completely broken on my line now lol
