I want to have my voicemail just use a standard greeting listing my phone number. Something like all the other carriers have... "You have reached the voice mailbox of 555-555-5555, at the tone please leave a message..."
I can't find any way to do this from the Evo. The voicemail system doesn't seem to offer this as an option but rather forces you to speak a greeting and name.
I called Sprint and the girl seemed confused and thought I should be able to but was of no help.
Can I set me greeting this way?

Mine has been that way since I joined Sprint, I never added a personal greeting.
Go to your voicemail, choose to administer your voicemail, enter 3, then 5, just keep following the directions to use the standard greetings, basically it will be 3 and then 5 again.
HTH
no luck. still no option for a standard greeting. I got it down to just my recorded name but thats all i can find.

When it ask for your name......Dont speak
It will have callers at the edge of their seats
I had the same problem. It really bugged me. But then I figured it out. Just go back in and delete your vmail recording and it will default to the automated one.
The voicemail that your accessing on your evo is no different than any other voicemail besides the VVM portion. theres an option, your not trying hard enough, read your manual.

Sprint dialed into my voicemail with me and couldn't figure it out either. She suggested that I speak my number to mimic the default greeting... The same thing happened to me when I had the Hero.

Thanks. Deleting everything worked.
There is no option during setup or in the menus and I believe during initial setup the problem is that it doesn't accept no for an answer when asking you to record your name and greeting.
Thanks again.

I believe the problem is on Sprint+Android devices
I believe the problem with the vm greeting has something to do with
Sprints Android habdsets. My Tour would greet callers with my # but my
Hero would force me to record a greeting. My Touch Pro2 greeted callers
With my # but now my EVO insists I record a geeeting.
I've been out of the loop lately and just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
Thanks.
Later.

there is the leaked official rom....

Gingerbread + 4g + AOSP = CM7
Awesome, thank you both!
I can't deal with the VM issues on CM7. Otherwise, it is awesome. But the text each time you get a voicemail is ridiculous.
Update to using Google Voice... No more VVM issues with CM7, and works like a charm.

But why? Sounds like there's another option besides switching my phone number.
Besides, I can never get used to the "press 1 to talk prompt." I'm always like, hello? ... press 1 ... hello?

Well for one, you do not have to change your number anymore... Sprint has integrate with GV where your Sprint number is your GV number...
Second, yeah that is getting a bit annoying. I am hoping they fix that or provide a way to turn it off...

You, sir, just blew my mind. I am potentially very happy about this.
Potentially because I apparently do not have the capability yet. I don't have the "enable google voice on your sprint mobile phone" link next to my number.
grrr...

That is still in the testing phase, you won't be able to unless you sign up for testing (not sure if that is still open) or until they release it.

Dammit I want it now, though.
Why would switching to gv for voice mail change your number? I have gv as my voice mail and I don't need to change my number. Whenever people call my sprint number and I don't pick up it just goes to gv voicemail.
Also the press 1 to talk prompt can be changed in gov setting via computer not android app. If you log in to gv on your computer you can change the settings.

+1 I like the Google Voice MUCH better than Sprint VVM.....and the text translations are free (though not all that accurate at times). Just alot more options than VVM.
im using youmail for visual voice mail on CM7, works like a charm, and i dont get those text messages from 9019 or whatever number it was, i can't remember if i blocked them with my messaging app, but i think just fiddling with some settings makes it go away, after my most recent flash a few days ago the text messages never showed up,
Even if you have a gv number, it's not like you have to change your number. Dialing your sprint number still gets people to your gv voicemail.
Plus, like said above, if you're getting texts, just block them. Most of the GB AOSP ROMs (if not all) have 4g now.
It seems like I'm getting calls from everyone except from my wife.
I am on a rooted/CM7.1.0/Droid Incredible and she is on a stock Incredible. We are both on the same Verizon plan.
When she calls, it rings 3 times for her and then to Voice mail. It never rings on my phone. I have checked
I have and use Google voice for voice mail but she is calling my Verizon number.
The "Send calls directly to voicemail" box wasn't checked. I have deleted her contact in my phone and my contact in her phone and it still goes straight to voice mail. I can call her and other people can call me.
Any ideas?

I wish calls from my wife went straight to VM.
Dude, you would get so much money on ebay for that phone.
The only thing i could think of is mabey google voice thinks your wifes number is spam. If you go to google.com/voice and hit the gear icon on the top right, select settings and then the calls tab. Uncheck global spam filtering save the change and then see if that works.

that was unchecked
Update:
Formatted everything and "upgraded" to Pons CM7.2 Incredible builds (12192011).
All is working great.
Ha ha, you probably got hacked... Lol
Edit:
To clarify things, guys, he stated that he 'only uses google voice for voicemail'...
This means she is calling his Verizon phone number first... Which, he has something called 'conditional call forwarding' setup... So, even if google voice were set to block her, as spam, it would still have to dial his handset first... And actually ring(or be ignored).
To my knowledge, i haven't seen a way inside of Android to block callers...
Which is why i jokingly say, you got haxxed...
I bet if you flashed a clean install of cm7 again, it would work fine
If you long press the end call button while in a call, you are given the option to put that number on a black list. You could have done that without realizing
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
Nice, good catch..
That sounds like the most reasonable explanation so far

Thanks for pointing that out. My 1-year-old son might be the culprit.

OOPs, I think I "accidently did that to mine just now. It 'll take me months to figure it out. Guys someone needs to post that to FB to get this golden secret out to rest of mankind!
I would love a way for this to be done. I use GV for texting all of the time, and this would give my N7 full texting capability. I would love to be able to send text by voice through Google Now while I'm driving.
Any thoughts?
Thanks guys.

It isn't Google Voice, but it works great anyway. Set it up on your Android phone and set it to Google Talk. Then you can text via GT all day long.

There has got to be a voice command for it?? Have you seen a list of commands that Google Now recognizes? I thought I saw one at some point, but I have no idea where.
I'll see if I can find it.

Yep, already checked all of the available commands. There is nothing. Ask to send a text or SMS and it simply tells you that the device does not support it. This is what I'm trying to go around. But thanks anyway .

Hi cushcalc. Thanks for the suggestion, but this doesn't have anything to do with what I'm asking for either . I understand the confusion, and I've tried to think of a way to word it differently to make it more clear, but I don't think I can. I believe that most people will just automatically jump to "oh, he wants to text with his N7!"
Thanks anyway .
You can text message via Google Voice from Google Now just by using the standard voice commands "Text Adam Hey" and it will text Adam the message "Hey" all you have to do is set Google Voice as your default SMS client. or just remove the stock messaging app as your default and it will ask you which to use each time. Settings > applications > messaging > clear defaults.

This is exactly what I hoped it would do, because this is how it works on the GNex right now on JB. But if you ask Google Now to text on the N7, it just tells you that it can't do it.

That has to be a development oversight... you'd think that that functionality would be built in. It should be for the N7 anyway.
There's got to be a trick to make it work... and I am curious to find out what it is.

Interesting, sorry for the false information then. My N7 is back at home and I just tested it on my GN real quick before posting that. I, just like you did, assumed it would be the same. That is VERY annoying indeed. almost as annoying as not being able to long press for numbers on the N7 keyboard for no apparent reason at all!!!

Agreed! I really feel like it's an oversight, but I'm baffled that it wasn't thought of beforehand. I was anticipating this feature before they were shipped.

Not a problem! I made the same assumption. Hopefully I can find an easy work-around until (hopefully) it's patched to allow initiating SMS via GV.

Wow this app is awesome. I was using Textab but this is even better. Not having to have a bluetooth connection is nice.
Yeah it's like they replaced Google voice with a gimped down version and gave us Google now.
Google now doesn't allow me to text and the interface doesn't seem fluid, by that I mean it should be more integrated and have more options.
This thread should have more attention

FY*I, there is the app in the android market call Googlve voice integration. It allows you to send SMS on your normal messaging app, through google voice. So all texts get delivered to your messaging app.
In theory, when google now sends a text, you can have it send through the normal messaging app, which this app would then send through google voice.
However, I've used the pro version, the full integration version, on CM10 with google now trying to do this, and it doesn't work. The integration app doesn't seem to catch the text being sent, and it gets sent through your carrier's number. But considering it is catching all other texts, I imagine that a small tweak would fix it.

Hi all, sorry for another question so soon. Anyway, with my old rooted re-rommed Evo 4 I was able to integrate with Google Voice and actually send text messages using Google Voice on the PC or on my tablet. I seem to have been able to get Google Voice "integrated" on the Optimus G, but I don't have the ability to send text messages from PC or tablet. Does anyone know anything at all about this? Any ideas? Thanks!

Not sure why you are having that problem. My Google voice is working right. I was just on the PC yesterday sending texts.

Might have to remove your phone from Google voice and re add it?
I've had issues with Goggle Voice also that once I Integrate my sprint number with google voice, anybody that tries to calls me gets a busy signal. Don't even know how to fix this.
I've also had problems with google voice, whenever someone calls me and I answer, it goes straight to voicemail and I can even hear google voice talking.

Try uninstalling the GV app in the Play store then download it again. It should bring you through the settings again to confirm carrier integration. If that doesn't work go to voice.google.com on the computer, click the little gear on the top right, click settings and check the phone settings. You should see the little sprint logo next to your phone number.

This is not a "problem" but a feature... They call it call screening. Press 1 to accept the call, even after the person has started leaving a message. I turned off this feature. Go to voice.google.com on the computer, click the little gear on the top right, click settings, then click the tab for "Calls". Call screening is the first option, turn it off.
I only know all this because I have used GV since it first came out, then integrated immediately when Sprint made it an option.
Thanks all for the replies. I did as suggested and uninstalled google voice then reinstalled. It still wouldn't let me send texts from PC or tablet, but I guess I wasn't patient enough, because a short while later those features became available. So I guess for whatever reason there was a delay but I'm in business now.

I think there might also have been a slow-down on GV's end the past couple of days; I just received a voicemail from last night and a text from earlier this AM, so there might've been some general strangeness afoot as well.
