Can't get google voice working - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got an At&t M9 flashed to the Dev version and no matter what I do I can't get google voice to work. I have followed all the instructions on the website, using the IMI codes, etc. Each time it fails. Is this a problem with the M9?

I just picked up an M9 yesterday, I can't get Google voice to work either. Did you ever figure it out, or what did you end up using for voicemail?

I'm using 5.1 ROMs and nobody has the At&t VVM app yet That I know of anyways?
I tried two other ROMs and GV doesn't seem to work on any of them.

When y'all say y'all can't get GV working are y'all speaking specifically of the voicemail or voicemail to text part? I have an AT&T M9 and GV works for me, including texting. I have voicemail set to use my carrier voicemail, so I can't be sure of it working properly.

AT&T VVM app is in the play store.

It used to work for me too, but no more. I think it's an att issue and nothing to do with a particular rom. Att won't take the mmi code to enable gv. I've contacted att support, but they couldn't figure it out and actually made it so no voice mail worked, so once I got att visual voice mail working, I decided to leave well enough alone.
If on a 5.0.X rom, I think you can get the att app from the play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.att.mobile.android.vvm
Edit. Just read your on 5.1. Fortunately for me I backed it up before I upgraded. I've attached the app folder. Hopefully it will work for you.

Thanks!
I tried flashing it in TWRP, but realized it's just a zipped file.....I then extracted it and installed the apk..... What do I do with the other files?
It installed and let me record my greeting, and even sent me the confirmation "test" message......But I am having problems now when people call me and it goes to voice mail, it says something like "This call could not be completed, please try you call again later". Do I need those other files somewhere in my phone?
[Question]
Do you need to register your new phone with Google Voice? I've used GV on my M8 for the past 18 months, or so..... Is it still linked to that phone, or just my number?

Check use a file explorer to look in data\app\com.att.mobile.android.vvm. Installing the apk might have created the folder structure for you. Otherwise, just copy the contents of the folder i uploaded to that location and reboot. That's probably NOT the problem, but would eliminate that as a possibility.
As I said before, I have had so many problems with ATT support as it relates to VM. Once, after i was on with support, the guy did something and my voicemail didn't work at all. Other times, they set it up so all of my calls got forwarded to ATT vm without even ringing my phone.
AT&T VVM is good enough. I do miss the transcription service with GV though.

[UPDATE]
After spending about 2 hours on the phone, spread out over 5 calls, to At&t.... I have working At&t VVM using the extracted apk you gave me!!
The first 4 support people kept resetting my voicemail, but the M9 has the new "HD Voice" system, they were missing this step in the reset and it was still forwarding to my old Google Voice number, saying it was not an active number. Once he reset it, I rebooted my phone and they made a test call and it all worked.

HELP! Google Voice showing forwarded numbers instead of people i call

Yes this is an issue with ATT stock rom. Annoying but workaround is to use Google Voice to check outgoing call log
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
Just upgraded to JB last night on ATT, using GV 0.4.2.66. Phone has never been rooted, stock ATT always. Problem still exists - place a call and the log shows the relay number, not the actual dialed number. Weirdly, back in August I think, after a bout of uninstalling/reinstalling GV, it worked perfectly for a while. Then some unnoticed update broke it and it started storing relay numbers in log again, and hasn't worked since.
As I understand from the MANY other threads out there on this issue, the problem lies with Samsung and their dialer not talking to GV properly. No-one has yet to have any help from Samsung, but the hope was JB would fix it.
Nope. I use GV all the time, so this is practically a deal-breaker for me
What are the options here ? Is it possible to use the stock JB dialer instead of the Samsung Touchwiz one ? I'll root and put in a different ROM if I have to ...
Thanks -
Google Voice stores relay number in call log, not called number
Is anyone out there using google voice with the S3 (on ATT) ? Have you gotten it to store the actual number you called rather than the damn GV relay number ? This is one of the most popular phones out there, and there are a metric ton of people using GV - surely someone has it working cleanly ?
It's frustrating. No workee for me either. Can't redial.
Actually, I wish Google supported GV more. No APIs, so many things can't be done due to using GV messaging.
According to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35616192&postcount=29
Some users (on Verizon?) are seeing it work correctly. This leads me to believe that some builds of 4.1.1 for the S3 may have this functioning correctly.
Some questions:
Does anyone know of any ROMs for the S3 that have the correct behavior with Google voice that work on ATT?
Can we take the dialer from the Verizon S3 and use it on an ATT S3?
Any other suggestions for resolution?

Thanks for pointing it out.
Looks like it is new to market. No reviews. ANd the link to the developer's web page appears to be broken.
I'll keep an eye on it and may try it later.
Would be nice if there were a limited time free version to check out.
I'm running Liquid Smooth rom based on JB 4.1.2 and my GV is working great. I noticed your issue on other roms that I test drove but I never did any troubleshooting to find out why it was happening.

I need google voice also, I have tried and flashed numerous roms, this is a google problem for sure, but this rom here, is stock and it displays the correct caller info everytime, been running this rom for 4-5 days, all #'s are listed correctly....
You can keep looking for an answer as I did, and it will come up with the same issue, google+samsung....quit wasting time and use this link...

Hope this helps, hit thanks button....good luck. BTW the newest version of google voice has issues, revert back to version before the one listed, or you will see some more issues....DO NOT TRY THAT google callback app crap...worthless...
Stock 4.1.1 was showing the routing numbers for GV in the call log, but I've flashed CM10 and the call log is showing the correct contact numbers rather than the routing numbers.

FYI...Jumpsquares is the developer of the app, it appears. He has not responded back here to my response above, so I'm assuming he is not paying any attention to this thread. Just dropped in long enough to advertise.
That being said I am happy with my stock/rooted Rom, and decided it would be easier to spend the $2 on his app than installing a whole new different ROM and reconfiguring everything. But after install, it needs email and password; it would not accept it and move on.
I unstalled for refund. Sent him an email to see what hes replies with. Will post back here if there is any progress.

Visual Voicemail app not compatible

To my surprise, the AT&T Visual Voicemail app can't be downloaded from the Play Store (a search for it won't find it). The att.com website does not show the Note 4 in its list of compatible phones (it does show a Note 3).
http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB414957&cv=820#fbid=KukrJc5X464
My Note 4 came with it. Isn't it on yours?
Att visual voicemail doesn't work, but the phone comes preloaded with a different visual voicemail app that is better anyway.
Just download 'PF Voicemail'.. I've used it few years now.

You are so right. I was looking in the AT&T folder and it isn't in there but going to all the apps, there it is: Visual Voicemail.
There's always google voice too.
Visual Voicemail App on Note 4
I've been on the phone with AT&T for an hour. The preloaded Voicemail App on the Note 4 will not let me complete setup. I follow the instructions and it fails to set up and prompts me to try again. Left with not choice but to contact carrier. They've removed into my phone in an attempt to set it up and it fails for them too. Of all the apps I have I love my visual voicemail the most.

if you are so inclined you could always use Google voice for visual voicemail.. that's what I do.. I like transcribed emails for my voicemails.. also comes with a link to the audio file so you can play it back.
And the best part.. you don't necessarily need a third party app.

I don't know if you are still having this problem, but I could not complete setup because I had another app that screens calls installed: Truecaller. I uninstalled it and that allowed Visual Voicemail to finish setup.
My wife has the same problem.
She just got the Note 4 and the AT&T Visual Voicemail does not work.
AT&T Tech support is so dumb and they can't figure it out. AT&T is claiming the app is not compatible anymore - after 2 hours of Troubleshooting LOL.
She had the note 3 before and the at&t VVM app worked before.
Anybody else can help .. maybe a workaround?

There's now a built in visual voicemail app in the app drawer. I think the att app that some of us are used to using on previous phones and notes is now deemed incompatible by att.

Yup I saw that and that too didn't work.
I think there is something wrong with her voicemail. You know when you call your own number it directs you to your voicemail right away? - it doesn't on her for some reason.
On my AT&T phone, its good.
Well, I guess this is definitely looking like an AT&T issue and they cant figure it out.

Call at&t. They will deactivate her voice mail, then turn it back on again. Should reset it completely when that happens.
I had that happen on my once. It is a quick tech support call to fix.
Open the in built voicemail app. Try to enter your password. If it fails. Close app, call voice mall. Enter password. End call Open visual voicemail app again and try to renter password it should work
AT&T Visual Voicemail works great on mine, but YouMail won't. MMI codes to use it result in "

voice mail on note 4
I am having the same problem. The strange thing is I got my phone when it first came out. I have had my visual voice mail up until 2 weeks ago. I can access it but no one can leave me a message. When anyone calls and I am unavailable they get a message that says I am unavailable at this time please try again later. I called technical support and they reset everything still can not get voice mail to work so they are sending it on and it will be 4 days before anyone will get back to me about the issue.

I thought the apps ONLY work with the said carrier. In other words how can you use a Verizon voicemail app on a different network or even the T-Mobile app.

So I bought the T-Mobile 7t model. I download the T-Mobile vvm app, activate it, switch to phone app click settings, calls, voicemail. Make sure vvm shows up. I uninstall the T-Mobile vvm ap, go to the phone app and go to settings, calls, voicemail again. Vvm is there and I can switch it on. If you don't have the Verizon vvm app try and download it from the playstore

OK so I've been troubleshooting this for a few days in great detail. I can confirm that I have the provisioning right on VZW's side and both SIMs are working fine. To be clear, this problem is actually comprised of 2 separate issues that need to be resolved on the 7T via VZW:
1) Visual Voicemails for one of two lines do not download/open when two SIMs are active (with both Basic and Premium VVM provisioning). The only SIM that successfully downloads voicemails is the line that is designated as the Default SIM for Mobile Data. Let's say that SIM1 is being used for Mobile Data. The issue seems to be that VZW doesn't allow for SIM2 to download the VVM data via SIM1. You can test this by disabling SIM1, clearing the Phone app storage, rebooting, and allowing SIM2 to reactivate VVM. You'll see that all the voicemails come through just fine. When you activate a second SIM and a caller leaves a new voicemail, you will briefly see a VVM entry pop-up... then when you click Play, it shows an error and nothing is heard. So, again, my guess is that VZW isn't allowing VVM data for one SIM to download via another (likely a legacy security framework). This needs to be fixed by VZW (or OnePlus/Google would need make a second Mobile Data source available via the OS that apps could switch on/off as needed - note, only one can be active at a time with DSDS).
2) Regardless of SIM1 and SIM2 data issues, "Premium" VVM is only partially working on the current build of the 7T Phone app. Assuming SIM1 is active and designated for Mobile Data AND Premium VVM is correctly provisioned on VZW's side, when a caller leaves a new voicemail the audio is transcribed to text and delivered correctly to the phone. The text appears in the notification banner as previously stated in this thread. However, when you go into the Phone app and click on the new VM entry, all you see is the audio play/stop widget. None of the transcribed text is displayed. So, fair to say, this is an app issue which needs to be fixed by OnePlus.
FYI, I've tried every possible modified/patched build of the Google Phone (Go) app... and none of them worked with VVM. I'm out of ideas for a native dialer that supports Premium VVM. If *anyone* has two VM lines working on VZW, please share...

A way has been found.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/themes/list-magisk-modules-t3995515/page6
Root solution doesn't count. Second SIM is for work... and I have Android Enterprise active, which won't authenticate on rooted phones. Still looking for a non-root solution...
The T-mobile VM app has always been hit or miss on my unbranded 3T. Switched to Google Voice just for the voicemail. Now that I have two lines forwarding unanswered calls to two Google accounts on my phone. it's one app instead of two and the translation is decent enough. Never had Verizon so maybe it has some features I'm missing out on.

No Visual Voicemail?

I purchased an unlocked G8 a week ago, and I'm on the Verizon network. Today I noticed I had a missed call, but no voicemail notification. Then I noticed in the dialer that there isn't a voicemail tab, which I've had on every other unlocked phone I've had. I dialed *86, and sure enough, I had a new voicemail message.
I cannot find anywhere on the phone an option to enable visual voicemail, and a search of the G8 forum turned up nothing. Is there any way to get visual voicemail for this phone?

Then I noticed in the dialer that there isn't a voicemail tab, which I've had on every other unlocked phone I've had. I dialed *86, and sure enough, I had a new voicemail message.
I cannot find anywhere on the phone an option to enable visual voicemail, and a search of the G8 forum turned up nothing. Is there any way to get visual voicemail for this phone?

Just like with just about every carrier, they have apps for that and since your device is an unlocked version you probably don't have it installed. You might be able to find it on apkmirror if you search for Verizon.

I think this might be the start of the solution. The apk installs, but I get an error when trying to set it up. Here's the screenshots, one of the app, another of an auto generated text message. I blocked out the number and password for the sake of my personal privacy.

I've had issues with my XT1254. Never really got it to work. That apk is from my LM-G820UM Verizon stock. Maybe call them and tell them your having issues with your VVM. Other then that, that's all I got.

Thanks for the reply, and I appreciate you pulling the apk from a stock Verizon phone. I may call them and see if it can be resolved. If not, I presently have Google Voice set up to handle all my voicemail. It isn't my first choice, but at the same time, the option to have a transcription of the voicemail messages emailed to me is really nice, and the fact that it's a free solution is huge.

Question T-Mobile - Visual Voicemail

So just right off the bat, I know that T-Mobile are assholes and they setup their voicemail to only work by calling in or using their ****ty proprietary app.
That said, I get a vague sense that there probably shouldn't be a lot stopping someone that has root access and maybe a custom rom from fixing the default visual voicemail feature included in the google phone app to get it working with T-Mobile anyway by figuring out what exactly it is the default app needs to do to make T-Mobile think it's their app that's connecting?
Wondering if anyone knows if that's something I could potentially look forward to in the future because quite frankly I hate calling in to get my voicemails and I hate their app. If I had to choose between one of those 2 options for voicemails and just straight up disabling voicemails all together for my line, I'd picking disabling voicemails.
Is this a new change? I have MetroPcs and visual voicemail was working on my 5T running android 9, then it stopped working when I switched to the 9 Pro.
VVM working fine for me on the 9 Pro coming from the 7 Pro.. I'm actually on Premium, not sure how that happened since I don't remember signing up for it lol.
VVM on T-Mobile hasn't worked for years unless you're specifically using their proprietary VVM app. It wasn't working for me on my last phone (Nokia 7.1) and it's not working right now either on my OP9Pro. It's pretty well documented too:

It's not just me.
I gave up trying to get the in-dialer VVM (and Pixel call screening) to work, and went back to using Google Voice. It's MUCH better than T-Mobile's POS voicemail app, but no, it's not the ideal.
Guys, have you tried that one?
We're not looking for an alternative voicemail service. We're looking to use the in-dialer voicemail like every other device that has the Google dialer as the default.
One thing to consider is on Pixel Devices TMobile VVM works by default but I haven't seen it work on OnePlus yet, at least on the unlocked version like my 8 & 9 pro. Would be nice if someone could figure out the Pixels secret. Thanks
It works on other carriers outside of the pixel. T-Mobile actively blocks it.
TMobile VVM works fine for me. I don't subscribe to premium. I did purchase my OP9 plus from best buy so it the LE2125 unlocked

The T-Mobile app or the in-dialer voicemail?

Right. We're talking about getting the in-dialer voicemail, not the T-Mobile app.
Are you running stock? I don't even see a in app voicemail?
I found the switch in settings. Uninstalled T-Mobile POS VVM. Testing now
Mine is working.
Not to beat a dead horse here but this is where I am at. I know T-mo will not provision VVM unless you use theirs. I am running an unlocked OP9 LE2125. When I got to settings and look at VVM in the google phone app, it has carrier blank and T-mo voicemail number greyed out. What I am currently attempting to do is look at the code and see if i can change that number. I currently got a google voice number and I know people do not want to use google voice, they are simply trying to use the VVM without using T-mo. I am trying to see if i can find at least a work around until Lineage OS for OP9 is released. I currently contacted T-mo to shut my voicemail off and I used the short code to stop forwarding calls to my voicemail. So far when people call my T mobile number google voice picks up if i let it ring or if i reject a call. Now i need to see how to get into the google phone app to update that greyed out number
Creative, that's not what people are looking to do. If you were using a Pixel (or a few other phones that use Google's Dialer as standard) the in-dialer VVM uses T-Mobile's (or whatever carrier you're using) voicemail service, it just runs everything through the dialer.
In addition, you don't need to have T-Mobile shut off voicemail to use Google Voice, you go into your call settings and just change the conditional call forwarding numbers to your google voice number.
And it's not about not wanting to use Google Voice. It's about getting the same functionality that every other carrier has without HAVING to use Google Voice.
Going to be honest here, you're making way more out of this than you need to.

That looks like the OnePlus dialer, not the Google Dialer, no?

I'm out of work for another month. Just trying to keep busy lol. That's all
Not sure if people care, but I've finally able to use Google's native visual voicemail in the phone dialer.
I've been using the google voice trick to have conditional call forwarding to my google voice, and I check voicemail there.
I can confirm that I have visual voicemail working on my stock pixel 5 and a second pixel 5 on T-Mobile.
Here's what I did:
1) go into google voice --> hamburger menu --> settings --> device & numbers --> and delete the linked number and also everything else in there (I'm not sure this step is needed but it worked for me)
2) go to the phone dialer and send the following code: ##004# (then wait for the success message that it worked, took about 15 or so seconds to get confirmation). I rebooted. Then the visual voicemails started appearing natively in the phone dialer.
3) For my wife's phone, for some reason the visual voicemail icon on the bottom right was not there, but then suddenly appeared after rebooting and waiting a few minutes. I also wasn't getting messages, so I sent the ##004# code again, and then it started working. Again, no idea if that did anything but it started working! Good luck!
4) Profit!
Hope this helps others.
Cheers!
