Ok for some reason when I recieve a voicemail it no longer gives me the notification at the taskbar that I recieved a voicemail.
Instead it texts me that I recieved a voicemail but it doesn't actually text me whats in the voicemail.
I can't figure out why these settings changed. Why did it stop telling me that I have a voicemail in the notification bar.
I recently downloaded Handcent SMS but the problem started way before I downloaded the app.
I checked the messaging settings and can't find anything. I also checked Handcent SMS settings to see if I can find something for voicemail notifications. No success in either.
Before I downloaded Handcent sms I didn't get any type of notification just a missed call. When I just checked my voicemail one day I had 8 voicemails...
1. Where can I find the settings to give me a notification in the taskbar when I recieve a voicemail?
2. Also in my voicemail how come I can't set the system standard greeting? I have to leave a personal greeting. Is there anyway I can get the system standard greeting?
Probably google voice

What are you trying to tell me.
Is there a setting in google voice that I can turn on to have the notification in the taskbar? and to shut it off from sending me a text?
What about the personal greeting?
Did you go to www.google.com/voice and click on your number on the top right-hand side and look at the settings? Under the phones tab you can tell it to send you a text when you get voicemail. Under the voicemail & Text tab you can change the greeting to System Standard, and Transcribe voicemails.
We saw the demo, but...
Does anyone know anything about it?
Is it definitely only for Google Voice?
Availability?
All the nexus has is the necessary api hooks. It's up to the carriers to make use of said apis and release the apps.
Verizon has one in the android market, but it costs an additional $2.99/mth.

T-Mobile also has a visual voicemail app, but it will charge you a monthly fee as well. I use Voice, works great.
Google Voice? Are your voicemails showing up in your Phone app/Call log? Based on the Oct intro in October, it looked like it was supposed to (with Google Voice).
I had a VM left the other day to my Google Voice number and it shows up in the GV app itself, but not my Phone app/Call log. How about you?

I don't think I've received a voicemail since I've had a GNex to be honest. If I have I haven't seen it in the call log. Didn't know it was suppose to.
What I did notice is that it started showing missed calls under the call log and Google voice when a VM was left.

I don't think the GV app has been updated for ICS yet. Once it has it should use the new API.
AT&T VVM.apk
I attached AT&T Visual Voicemail .apk for anyone with knowledge or skills to advise if it is even possible to get it to work for GSM GNxS on AT&T with a Skyrocket provisioned SIM for LTE 4G data that includes Visual Voicemail feature in plan already.

Google Voice
Has anyone gotten google voice to take the voice mail on Verizon? When I set it up GV told me that my carrier didn't support that feature
Dial *71###-###-#### (replace the pounds with your Google voice number) it will act like its making a call for a second or two then stop. Also make sure you have Google voice selected in your system settings.

If you side load Verizon VVM do you still need to pay $3 a month?

Even with correct permissions it returns package can not be installed. Side load attempted via Root Explore. Not tried changing build.prop device id and such to spoof Skyrocket. Maybe we need additional files or VVM is part of the Skyrocket's phone dialer or some bloatware. I'm just fishing and really have no idea :/
Google voice definitely works on the GNex verizon. I restored mine from my last phone so i didnt need to do the setup but it should do a wizard when you start it to get it working.
I don't like att messages because it hijacks my text messages. So what is everyone using to access visual vm? I tried ATT vvm and its not working. And Ive been on the phone with tech support for 2 hours!!

You have to enable the free visual voice mail on your LTE account. Comes with all LTE data packages, but usually doesn't come enabled. Just give CS a call and tell them you want to enable visual voice mail on your account and then open the app and it should work.

The csr said it is on there and provisioned correctly. I can only call my voicemail.
Because I used the AT&T messages app they have to make a case for them to remove it from my account. This is frustrating. Only way they could of changed it was for me to lose my unlimited data plan. This is so annoying.

I'm using the regular "Messages" app that came built into the phone. I kind of like having the voicemails and texts all in one place.

I'm not following. You used the "Messages" app built into the phone and now they're telling you that if you want to use another app to get your voicemails you will lose your data plan? Or was it another app you used?
I use an app called YouMail. It is pretty minimal, and gives you email updates with transcripts of the VM.

I was using the "at&t messages" app not the messaging app thats in between contacts and the internet icon. I was told it was conflicting with my visual vm thats included with my unlimited data plan. I was called back by another AT&T csr a few minutes ago and they provisioned it correctly. But what they had to do is remove my data plan, then remove AT&T Messages from my account. Then re-add my unlimited data with visual vm. That's what I was told and now it's working fine. I don't like the AT&T messages app because it overides the main notification settings.

use this. Much easier to set up, way to import contacts right from my phone, and the answering service is so cool. The smart choice actually says your contacts name if it is uploaded to their website, so it would say "hello LudoGris, xxx isn't available right now..." if I called you.
Make sure your not connected to wifi when you use vvm app.

They have to completely remove your data plan that's tied to your visual vm. And if you set up AT&T messages then they have to remove that also. Call again and keep trying. It took 3 hrs of talking to a csr before they made a case and I was called back with the fix. Good luck.

Im confused. I tried that Att messages app and didnt like it. Im assuming after you called CS that when that visual voice mail icon showed up? I dont have it. So I have to call CS and tell them I want the visual voice mail that comes with my LTE package? Crap..i have unlimited too...
Here's a question.... with the ATT Messages app, when it gives you a text transcription of a voicemail, do they charge you for a text message? I don't have a text plan so I pay per text and am a little worried about this. I get a lot more voicemails than I do texts.
Just switch to Google voice and be done with it IMHO.
OK, I just called again and after spending about 30-40 minutes, we have some progress.
First off, I too have the unlimited plan and was hesitant about having them mess with this. According to the CSR I dealt with, she never had to mess with my data plan. She said all she had to do was have me remove the app (AT&T Messages) from my phone then have me turn my phone off. At this point, she removed the AT&T Messages service from my account, removed voicemail from my account, then added visual voicemail to my account. Once I turned the phone back on, the AT&T VVM app opened up after a minute or so and started going through the setup process. She said she never touched the data part of the plan.
I have the AT&T Visual Voicemail app working now. The only issue I am seeing is when I get a voicemail, I first get a notification from the phone app (which if clicked will call your voicemail) then I get a notification from the VVM app (which if clicked will open the app and let me listen to it). I did notice that a few seconds after the VVM notification appears, the phone notification gets deleted automatically.
So, it is working how I want it to, other than getting two notifications for each voicemail. Considering I don't get many voicemails, I can live with that.
Hope this helps others.

Ask them to follow this thread...maybe that will help them.
Here is some proof that it will work.....
The first pic shows the icon in the notification bar.
Second is the pull down notification bar.
Third is the actual app itself.
Hope it helps........I was lucky enough to get someone that, though she admitted she has never dealt with this problem, was willing to listen to me read her the forum posts and she kept trying things out.
Good luck!!

AT&T Visual voicemail
It is a free app on the market. I downloaded it. Had a CR configure my account to have visual voicemail enabled and works like a charm.
Unfortunately, the voicemail button on the keypad still calls your voicemail. Any way to have the voicemail key open up that app instead ?
How come my att gs3 doesnt have visual voicemail but my uncles sprint variant does?
It's not called Visual Voicemail. It's part of your AT&T messaging app. Not messaging but AT&T Messaging.

screenshot of myatt app with the visual voicemail app...perhaps whatever plan you have already included it
Visual voicemail is free..meaning you can see the list of your voicemails and listen to them just like on an iPhone. Visual voicemail with text is 3.99..this is the one that transcribes it to text. Just use Google voice...It does the same thing and is free.

I don't like that my phone vibrates it has no text talk anymore.How do I switch my native text message To be the default?
I switched to the S3 from an iPhone and I was looking for the same thing. I downloaded the Visual Voicemail app but it wouldn't connect. I got on a chat with an ATT rep and they told me it wouldn't cost extra but I would have to switch to a different data plan that includes visual voicemail.... Which meant I would have to leave my unlimited plan that we were grandfathered in on. So basically they are using it as a way to get people off of the unlimited plan as well.
My response was, "hahahaha, i'll deal with it or sign up for youmail"

OK .I called att. They had me uninstall att messages .Install att visual voice mail. Problem solved.
I use Google voice as well. But I had to go to the Google voice site and type in a code before I got it working 100 percent.
The automatic setup didn't work.

So you got it to successfully let you switch from provider to google voice for your voicemail? How? I have tried all the options with no success.

I've been down this road with at&t so many times on this issue. It's an easy fix but most at their support don't know how.
Here's a much better solution. Just read the Thread below to fix the installation problem.
It's a must have product.
Switch to Google Voice. Visual Voicemail on steroids. It's a must have product.
If interested go to Google Voice and set up an account, as then download from the Market.
However, please read the thread provided below before installation. There's a known problem setting up the call forwarding numbers that has nothing to do with the GS3 and it's not a big deal.
Here's the easiest solution.
To get Google voice to work you must first download it from the play store. Then run it. It will tell you that it can't change your forward numbers. The go on your browser and goto the Google voice website (make sure you hit menu and request desktop site). On the site look for settings. (Somewhere in the top right. Then choose to set up your phone. Choose your carrier and it will give you a number to call. That number will change your forwarding numbers for you. Then in the voice app change settings to show voicemail in call log.

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason you would choose to use Verizon Visual Voicemail over Google Voice Lite (that works with your carrier's phone# - without requiring you to use your GV#)?

I'm curious if it will work with Google Voice Lite without the Google Voice App. Having to use the app does get irritating when it stops running in background and causes delayed notification if you don't have Text or Email notification active. Also it does seem the app doesn't get updated much.
I have missed important messages in the past and now I check the Google Voice app at least once a day to make sure it had not stopped.

I haven't used the GV app on my phone in months (or over a year now) - had to check to see if it was still there To be honest, I don't think it is needed after the initial set up.
I get my notifications via an Email from GV to my mailbox, with the transcriptions and link to message - I also get a text message sent to my GV#, which results in a SMS on hangouts app.

Thanks for the reply but like I said before if you have Text and EMail notification turn off you just get a voicemail notification from native app and could use native app to check. But if the Google Voice App stops you don't get the Notification because messages do not sync with the native app.
Text and Email notification (icon) if you have a lot notification do not standout as much as the voicemail notification (icon). Would be much easier if Google would include Google Voice Lite in the native app without having the separate app for syncing.
Transcription has never worked well for me because everyone beside Robo spam that leave me a message have Spanish accents. (Funny to read and trying to guess what they really said) Google Voice Lite app has the transcription but would be better in native app.

Understood. I don't use the native app for voicemail notification, so I never ran into this issue. I just rely on the hangouts notification. Thanks for the clarification
Has there been any word from reviewers about Visual VM on Verizon yet?
I haven't seen anything on it yet
In the native phone app the voicemail tab works with Verizon's visual voicemail. I just finished setting up my phone and it works.
