for some reason i cant dial 1 for voicemail, knowing me i probably hit something and changed a setting. how can i make it work again?
thanks
I would recommend you turn on 1's for all calls not just voicemail. Go to Start -> Settings -> Phone -> Services Tab. Scroll down to Automatic Prepend and press Get Settings. Enable Automatic Prepend for a 1 in front of all of your outgoing calls.
If you only want to do it for voice mail, go to Start -> Settings -> Phone. The first entry is the number to call for voicemail. Throw a "1" in there.
He's not talking about dialing a 1 before the number, he's talking about holding down the 1 key to access voicemail. Not sure what the issue is, works fine for me. What dialer are you using?

Ahhh. I'll be quiet now.
the stock dialer with 3.35
I got the "2" working for voice mail but would be nice to have the 1 back, kinda used to it. Business is picking up alot and i need my voice mail waaaaaaa.
thanks gc, u2 ande
Go into Settings->Phone. What does it say next to Voicemail:
has my phone number......should i put a "1" in there? by itself?
Are you on Sprint or Verizon?
sprint.....
2 Things...
1. Is your phone number in this format xxx-xxx-xxxx or this format xxxxxxxxxx?
2. When you open the dialer and click Menu->Speed Dial, what's in there?
the "2" that I put in there earlier that dials my voice mail.
dosent have the option to use the "1" available is 3-99. the "1" must be set aside for the voice mail but it must have left town.
Did you install the sprint carrier cab? If so, did you install the new one that was updated a few days ago?
No still on 3.35
Wait you're using the 3.35 stock rom?
Yes sir, I thought i mentioned it earlier, sorry if i didnt.
And it was there working, and then suddenly just disappeared? Or it never worked?
it worked before and it just quit working one day. I brutally dropped my phone and dislodged the vibrate thing off the mainboard (made my skin cringe) but the phone works great still with the exception of the vibrate thing of course.
I dont know if dropping it is when it stopped working or not
Have you tried a hard reset?
If i do that i will update to the new rom, I just hate reloading everything
In the registry, navigate to "HKCU\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction\CDMA\VoicemailIcon"
What values do you have under that key?

I've been working at getting the voicemail for my first Android device, the SGH-i777, switched to GVoice for a bit now and I can't seem to get it working.
During the setup process [account selection, etc.] it goes to setup the voicemail and I get this error that reads:
"Error
Forwarding number changed failed"
So I found another route via the web interface with the string of numbers that reads: *004*googlenumber#.
Upon entering that in the dialer, I get:
"Call forwarding
Connection problem or invalid
MMI code
conditionally for All Basic Services"
Then I found a lead, on disabling all the settings under "Settings -> Call -> Call forwarding -> Voice Call". That gives me two errors:
"Unable to deactivate call diverting for unanswered calls. Unsupported by operator"
&
"Unexpected response from network."
Online, the web interface does show:
"Deactivate Google voicemail on this phone"
This is occurs when the device is stock and rooted, and running a new ROM. I've also tried deleting and re-adding my phone's number to my list of phones and reinstalling the GVoice app. [NOTE: It's stock and rooted right now though]
Ideas?
Check if the call can go into the voicemail message system first. If not, I will call ATT to reset the condition forwarding.
I do have a real AT&T voicemail setup and I can call it and leave a message [from another phone of course].
As for the condition forwarding, where should I take that? Tech Support via customer care? I did have to get on with tech support after they didn't switch my voicemail over from the iPhone's to a "standard" voicemail service.

Squid,
I am trying to help you here but I may have misunderstood some things that you said. Anyways, I had gVoice forwarding my voice mail just fine - actually, against my will because I wanted to stay with ATT voice and only use gVoice for text messages. Thus, if you go into settings>call>call forwarding - what does it say there? List your google number or does it list your ATT voice number? In my case it listed my google voice phone number and not my carrier number. I changed that back to my carrier, but maybe you go the opposite route. Sorry if I missed your point.

When I go "Settings -> Call -> Call Forwarding" there's another option in there with "Voice Call". There's then 4 lines, "Always Forward", "Forward When Busy", "Forward When Unanswered", "Forward When Unreachable". All of those [EXCEPT "Always Forward"] have text that reads "Forwarding to [presumably the AT&T voicemail number]".
I couldn't disable it manually, but I see where your going with it. Sadly, I cannot change any of the settings in there. Refer to the OP when I mention the lead on "disabling" the settings.

Yes I have. I've tried a bunch of things.
But amazingly, I get to close this thread now! I called up AT&T and asked about conditional call forwarding and the guy walked me through a bunch of stuff. What ended up being the issue was the number set for the 'conditionals' in call forwarding and the "carrier number" for the voicemail [just below the radio button to select Google Voice] were different by one digit. Changing the carrier number to match the conditionals let the whole operation happen smoothly.
So, thanks to the two of you who responded!

Glad it works for you! Just for my information, the "conditional" is in which menu - call forwarding? I can't find a "conditional" option. I am sure this will come up again sometimes, so I try to fully grasp it. Thanks man!
I don't understand. I've had this same problem since I got my new phone, the SGH-i727 Skyrocket. My number in the carrier setting exactly matches the number for the "conditionals"... So what gives? I'm rooted and running a custom ROM, but the issue was present before I ever rooted, when I was stock.
I had some issues setting mine up, I am also rooted. Have you tried looking at voice.google.com -> Settings -> Phones -> Mobile and seeing if its checked or even there?
Also I reinstalled all the google apps so that might have also helped.
I had a similar problem. I'm guessing you have the Google voice app installed? I would try to reset to defaults the dialer info.
Try this
1. Remove Google app.
2. Clear dialer and dialer storage cache
3. When you go to dialer, the settings should be reset. Configure it as if you have no Google voice.
4. Install Google voice, but make sure you have both WiFi internet and cell phone reception.
5. Hopefully it succeeded, regardless go to the dialer --> Preference --> voice-mail handler for me its either Google voice, or voice mail, or none(dial voice number)
Like wise if you have the number is correct on the Google voice website and you have configured the phone with the app try entering this code. Remember the number is your Google voice mail.
Remove the dashes, and the X's correspond to the Google number, these are to be entered on the standard dialer. I do recommend this be your last step

not trying to revive a dead thread, but I was going at this all night and nothing worked, (new gs3 ATT)
have used gv for everything for a long time now and nothing has worked with this phone.
Went through and tried all the stuff above, and finally I tried putting in the mmi code in the dialer as *004*(area code and number)# and it went like normal, like a regular nexus phone.
This is without the "1" before the are code.
It went through fine and changed all the forwarding numbers in the forwarding menu, and set GV as voicemail.
The reason is that inside the phone- settings- voicemail-setup, you get what looks like a GB screen with your google voice number without the +1 infront of it, and no way to change it I don't think.
this is what the guy above was taking about I think with the att person on the phone. I hope this helps someone, I could have used it yesterday

Not sure if you're trying to be a smartass or not, but....either way this is the i777 forum. Post in the forum relative to your device.
why are you guys so touchy about specific forums? Looking for help from wherever it comes from is a good thing.
That little clue about numbers matching would have helped me yesterday, regardless of what phone I was using. ANd it will help someone in the future.
If it was an htc forum I might have said something different, but I still would have said something.
Telling someone to gtf out of your forum for no good reason is just silly.
Everyone is here to help. That's all there is. If no one needed help, there wouldn't be an XDA.
but ya, I'll stay out of your guy's forum. not that I post alot or anything.
Don't choke on your lollypop
And here I thought I was being nice. I don't remember telling anyone to gtfo....I simply said to post in your phones forum. Well good luck. Happy flashing.
All I said was that this isn't the S3 section. Was that so wrong? Many things are device dependent. So many things can't be given support for unless you have our device.

I had the same problem, but uninstalling Google voice and installing it again let it go through.

I didnt know if I got a bad phone with a bad flast or how many other people are having problems. It seems that the preorders were a bad batch for the most part. Some arrived DOA, battery covers broke, bricked on arrival. Glad to know I'm not the only one with this issue.ANYONE having problems with quadrand FC'ing all the time?
I had a similar issue, but I was able to get around it.
Try going into Google Voice on the web and hit the "activate voicemail" link. It'll give you a number/code to dial in the dialer on your phone. After I did that, GV on the phone was able to set up voicemail correctly, iirc.

Thanks that worked.
Still doesn't work for me. Tried uninstalling and re-installing GV and also using the deactivate/activate link on the GV website and I'm still getting the error. This is frustrating.
Just go in and manually change it yourself in the phone settings, under the forwarding options. There are 4 options, leave the first one disabled (forward all calls). For the other 3, change them all to your Google voice number (for ex., 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx) and you will be good.
Anybody has any idea why auto-configuration in GV does not work?

I'm almost positive it is AT&T wanting you to use their (nonexistant) Visual Voicemail app. My Skyrocket did the same exact thing. International GSII on ICS even worked fine.
I had the same issue. Make sure it says ATT in carrier when you log into google voice. If it doesn't redetect it. Mine still showed Sprint for 48 hours before it detected I was actually on ATT.
Also entered the codes as mentioned on this site:
http://kalsey.com/2010/10/using_google_voice_as_your_voicemail_on_att/
The important part to save you a click through:
"Second, open up your phone’s dialer and dial the following, replacing 1234567890 with your new Google Voice phone number…
*61*1234567890# (then hit send)
*62*1234567890# (then hit send)
*67*1234567890# (then hit send)
You should see a message appear on your phone after each time you press send. This will set up your AT&T account to take all calls when the phone is busy, when you decline a call, or when your phone is turned off or out of range and forward the call to your Google Voice number."
After doing the above I was able to change Carrier in settings to Google Voice without any problem.

You guys are simply amazing. Had this problem which I suspect is because of the SIM change. I had no problems switching from my Captivate to Atrix.
Hey all,
Did some searching for this issue and didn't come up with much. Basically, running a stock Rezound using the latest OTA update. Google Voice works fine for receiving and sending calls. However, I can only call out using Google Voice when I tap the person I want to call in my contact list. Is there some way for Google Voice to work with unknown numbers (i.e. just dialing a number the old school way)? It always uses my VZW number if I do this.
I have my Google Voice calling option set to "use for all calls" so I'm wondering what's going on. I am dialing the full number including an area code.
Thanks.
Thats the way I always use it. I select "use with all calls" and anytime I dial a number from the regular dialer... hell, any time I tap on any phone number in the browser... it just dials using Google Voice the way you'd expect it would.

Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling - no dice. Dialer still causes VZW number to make the call instead of my GV number.
I'm using HTC Sense 3.5 if that helps any...? I haven't heard of anyone with this problem.
I have mine set to "ask me every time". Even for unsaved numbers, it'll prompt me with a box so I can select dial with / without Google Voice. Try setting it this way, and then attempt to call an unknown, see if it'll prompt you. That way you can narrow down whether it's your phone or the Google Voice app.

Yeah, I just tried doing the "ask me every time" option and dialed my house. Didn't give me any sort of message box asking me if I wanted to use GV or not and simply called using my VZW number.
I just got the phone two days ago and I've noticed some weird black artifacts (!) showing up during typical usage sometimes. Maybe I should just exchange it at this point?
Definitely do so if you are within your 14 days. That way you won't have to claim a warranty exchange for a refurb later on.

You're obviously doing something wrong with the initial setup... That or you have it Google Voice not configured with your cell phone number correctly...
Works okay for me. On ice cream sandwich.
Google Voice not working when configured for ALL calls
I am running:
GV App build number 0.4.2.54
Galaxy Tab GT-P6200L with Android v4.0.4
When I set GV to ask before every call, it does, and my calls work just fine.
When I set GV to make all calls, it doesn't make calls, at all.
Since I went to the expense of porting my number to GV, it would be nice to use GV for my calls. I want to keep my cell number private, and GV should allow me to do this by showing my GV number to people when I call them.
Although I can do what I want with the extra screen press (when asked if I want to use GV), this is not how the app is supposed to work.
Is there a fix for this that anyone is aware of?
Thank you.
I've tried searching, but haven't found an answer, so here we go,
when I use the voice dialer to call someone that's already in my phonebook, it dials and calls properly, but if I try to call a place such as autozone or any other business by just saying, "call autozone," it finds the number and tries to call it but it puts a + in front of the phone number and never goes through. I have to end the attempt at calling and go back and edit the number to remove the + from it. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm running cm7x2 and haven't changed any performance settings.
Thanks, Curt
EDIT: it works now after a couple resets and sbfs later
So I have google voice set up for my voicemail. I noticed that this has not been working. I had to reset up my phone and then it stopped working again. It looks like when they phone is set to forward my calls to my watch, it disables google voice forwarding and my att voicemail program then pics up. I was wondering if any one knows how I can get this working again.
I went and removed my phone from google voice and then reactivated it but once my phone starts to forward me calls it no longer works.
Just wanted to see what other google voice users are doing.
They both use the same entry for your phone line: conditional forwarding. So, you can only have one at any time. When you setup auto-forwarding, it will change the conditional forwarding to Gear S number and when it no longer need forwarding, it resets which will be back to your network default that is your voice mail number.
I set up my gear s # as an additional phone in Google voice and had t-mobile turn off voice mail for it, that way I don't need to worry about calls forwarding.
I don't use my Google voice number as my main number so I like the forwarding set up. I wonder if I can have my voicemail number changed on my phone to my Google voice number.

Go to the google voice web site & look in settings under that number. It should say "activate voicemail" and it'll give you a code to dial on the phone. It's something like *444*YOURNUMBER*# or something like that. But the gear forwarding will always disable GV when it's enabled.

The only other thing i can think of is using the short code to set your watch to use google voicemail so your phone would forward to the watch & the watch would forward to GV if you missed it on the watch. It's just a thought but I'm waiting to use gear forwarding for that reason so lemme know if you find a setup that works.
One option is to turn off all forwarding in the watch and phone, then set up both the watch and phone normally in Google Voice.
All calls will be sent to both the phone's number and the watch's number. For whatever reason, the phone tends to ring at least 3 or 4 seconds before the watch rings, so there's no problem with multiple ringing devices. If neither the phone or watch are answered, the call will go to Google Voice voicemail.
Also, within Google Voice Settings / Phone, click "Activate Google voicemail on this phone" and dial the number string indicated. You'll have to do this twice, once through the phone, and again through the watch. An important note is that the phone needs to be disconnected from the watch when you dial the code through the watch.
The easiest method is just to put the phone into airplane mode before dialing the number from the watch.
