So I have my shiny new Vibrant. I use the voicemail service Youmail (try it if you have not heard of it. It truly is a great free service) and would like to program that in the VM field so that when I hold 1, it dials that instead of the default TM VM number.
However, when I try to do it, the field is completely greyed out (settings > Call Settings > Voicemail >Voicemail
Anyone able to change theirs or know a way to do it?
Thanks!
I have the same problem. I can change voicemail in contacts, but not in settings, which I assume is how I get "1" to speedial my voicemail. I checked a Captivate and it can edit that field. I called T-mobile and they said I should be able to edit it. I got a new sim, and uninstalled t-mobile visual voicemail. Nothing has worked. Next thing I might try is trying to get grep to run on a shell and see if I can find the file that contains the number and edit it.
If anyone with a Vibrant can edit that field via settings > Call Settings > Voicemail >Voicemail, please reply. It would be help to figure out what's up with this if we know if it's all vibrants or just some.
Go to 'Contacts' and then 'VoiceMail'. There you can change the number.

that does not work... Yes you can change the voicemail number in contacts but that does not affect what the OP is asking to change.
Op,
I do know how to change that number but I would love to change it to my GV number. There is another thread that discusses the matter in a bit more length, have a search for it.
This just needs to be hacked. Doesn't seem like a priority tho so it might be some time.. Would be great if we could just change it to a "contacts" tab.
EDIT: Oh now I see the contacts button down at the bottom next to the "0". I guess we can stick with the voicemail tab.
Then what would replace the contacts button?

i have an android phone so i dont know if its the same. If you go to Settings>Call Setting>Voicemail Settings>Voicemail Number then change it
I can change the number for voicemail in the settings without a problem. And, for google voice, when you install the google voice app you have to go through the setup the first time you open the app and at that time you can change it to google voice or change it in settings also, but all the forwarding information is there when you install the app.

Or you can just add speed dial to one of the other 9 numbers. Go to contacts and click the settings button now select more and then speed dial and chose any of the open spots it will let you select from your contacts. Works just like voicemail does where you press and hold the 1. And you can set all the number pads that way.
Seems easier than hacking the dialer.

My Voicemail was working fine with my pauses and password until the carrier reset something, then the VM number went back to the carrier's original default without my password.
I put the SIM into my old phone, edited the VM number with pauses and password. Turned the old phone off and put the SIM back into the Android phone. My changes persisted and now, once again long-pressing "1" dials my VM with my edits.
Manually creating a contact with the edited VM number and assigning it as a speeddial also works.
It's not a fix, but on my Amaze, short of pleading and begging stupid T-mobile reps (who claimed it was Google Voice's problem, or HTC's hardware problem), I programmed my GV access number to speed dial from "1" in the third party dialer, Dialer One. As long as I'm not using the stock dialer, "1" goes to GV. :fingers-crossed:

So I've used google voice on my past phones, but for some reason whenever I get a voicemail on the Thunderbolt, it goes to my verizon account voicemail. I have changed it to default to google voice in the setting under call, I have set up my google voice like before. I'm not sure what else to do. I've uninstalled, changed the settings and everything like a million times too. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
Verizon handles voicemail a bit differently. With GV you were able to set up voicemail automatically on some carriers, but for Verizon, you have to do an extra step.
Dial *71<Your Google Voice Number> and press Call. You'll hear a series of beeps and now phonecalls that go to voicemail will go to GV now.
Okay. I'll try that. Now when I switch ROMs and wipe my phone do I have to do that every time then?
Atrix4G Rooted!
Now it says please enter the number you wish to dial followed by the # sign whenever someone calls me...so I don't think it worked lol.
Atrix4G Rooted!
nevermind.
I'm having the same issue. Did you find a solution?
Call vzw there's a few other numbers you can dial I think but I can't remember them
I used *71(GV number), *90(GV number), and *92(GV number) and everything works fine. There was another thread on this a few days ago.
Ya that's them
*71 and *90 are redundant. *71 is no answer/busy forwarding (both conditions), *90 is BUSY only forwarding, so if you're using *71, *90 isn't necessary.
*92 not sure what that's supposed to do, it's not quickly found on VZW's website.
Additionally, apparently call forwarding (conditional) behavior is not the same in every VZW market. Go figure.
What about visual voicemail? It works with the Google voice app, but it does not show up under the "messaging" visual voice, even though I set it in settings to goole voice and not carier. Any ideas?

The stock Visual Voicemail app will NOT work with messages on Google Voice. They are two separate applications that cannot be linked.
Just check your messages in GVoice. Yes, this means you can't use the home screen messaging widget for voicemail, but such is life when using Google Voice.
Remember, using Google Voice takes away revenue from the carrier, since you aren't paying for their voicemail service. So they have no incentive to provide native support for it. You're pretty much on your own when you switch to GVoice.

Cool. God to know. Its not a big deal to use the Voice widget, I was just curious if I was maybe missing a setting. So its a limitation imposed by Verizon and not HTC if I read your comments correctly? Which means with a proper rom in the future I should be able to use the feature?
Your Gv voicemails are on a completely different system. I don't think it will be possible to use the built in vvm app for that ever.
Then why would they put it as an option under the Settings/Call/Voicemail options? I am not saying I don't believe you, it just seems odd to include it as an option for provider, then not use it in the app.
Oh I guess you can then. Surprise to me.
Oh wait you're talking about the phone settings. That's nothing to do with the vvm app. Thats just telling your phone what number to dial when you hold 1.
The gv app adds that option when you install it.
How do I change back?
Same thing happened to me...just go into settings on the computer and unchecked the box next to your phone number...everything will revert back to the way it was!
Yea. I had this problem yesterday. Scared the ish out if me. Sign in to Google voice from a computer and go into settings from the top right. Select the phone tab and uncheck both areas that has your number tied to it.

Heh, same thing here. I went to voice settings /via Chrome and disabled sprint integration.
Does anyone know how to use the voice app on the phone to switch back and forth between sprint/google numbers? I could do it on the Hero.
Guys, I know there are tons of threads on this but i'm stuck.
starting from stratch.....
should I set up GVM from the computer or phone? or do I have to do it from both ends?
At this point I only want to use the Gvoice mail because of the voice-to-text feature unless you know of another app.
I've used handscent but I dont think that feature works on it.
I'm not using integration but somehow today(7/1/11) I cant get the GVM to work with my sprint number.

It's better to configure it all online through Google.
I keep mine seperate and have the choice to use either before I make a call since GV is my business number.
You can set the settings in your phone also to use either or.

thanks for the reply but i've read people saying DONT download the google voice app on the phone and some people say it's ok. I cant get both options to work at the same time (sprint/google number choice and the voice-to-text ).
I have Google voice on my phone with notification OFF. It sends me a text when I get a voicemail. Also, I have the Google voice widget on my homescreen: makes it easy to listen my voice message from there. Go message is my default sms app and every text I send/receive gets copied in my Google voice account. It works very well.

Ok. You can use both numbers without combining them.
First. Log into Google on your computer. Go to voice. When voice loads, sign up for a number if you don't already have one. (very painless)
Click on options in the top right corner and click voice settings. You will see your Google number. You should see forward calls right below your number.
Check the box to forward calls to your cellphone.
**Any calls made to your GV number will now ring on your cell.
Now click on voicemail & text tab.
Those options listed should be self explanatory.
Now click on calls.
*In my case I have Call screening enabled so I don't get spam calls etc.*
If a number isn't in your address book you can have them say their name before it rings and you can answer or deny the call. (Great feature imo)
Caller ID incoming: 2 choices are availible. I have it show the number. Better then seeing your GV number every time someone calls.
Caller I'D outgoing: * for me this is important*
I set it to GV number so i don't have to use my actual cell number to ppl I don't want to have it.
Hope this helps you out some. If you want 2 numbers without integration then follow my steps. If you want to integrate then make the appropriate choices.
You can also have GV mail set as your main VM for both numbers without having any conflict whatsoever. It works great for ppl who can't have phone at work and would be able to read their VMs from their computer. (Comes in handy )
P.S.: After you do the online portion, go head and open the app on your phone. Login and go to your settings. You can make a few changes their but the options are limited. Just review those settings against your online settings and test them out with another phone and you should be smooth sailing after that.
Good luck. Check back with results.

Remember when Google and Sprint went through that Integration a while back? Well this is where it takes affect!
If you Blindly Install Google Voice like many of you flashaholics do you probably misses an important but subtle step cause you the following issues:
1. All MMS/SMS are being handled through GV
2. All Out going phone calls are your GV#
3. Ass Acne
This is caused by you blindly agreeing to all of this and THIS wil tell you how to fix it (no ass acne solution yet... i think there is a tread in DEV section working on this)
1. UNINSTALL GOOGLE VOICE FROM YOUR PHONE
2. Jump on your computer (or use yoru phone if you can use the browser like that)
3. Go to Google.com/voice and sign in and jump to your Voice Settings
4. Now next to your number you want to click the DEACTIVATE SPRINT AND GOOGLE INTEGRATION (or something along those lines)
5. Back on your phone Download the GV app AND WAIT TO OPEN IT!!! YOU WANT TO READ THIS BEFORE YOU BLINDLY INSTALL AGAIN!!!!
6. Now when you first open the app THE FIRST screen you will be promted to integrate your sprint and google number...
7. "Tap 'Next' to complete the Sprint integration, or 'Skip' to complete the regular Google Voice setup."
8. I hope everyone who was complaining chose SKIP
9. Continue to install GV the way you remembered
10. ????
11. PROFIT
If you have any questions please PM or post it here
REMEMBER TO THANK IF THIS HELPED YOU!!!!
Or... Take the time to setup integration correctly and don't bother using the GV app any longer.
Seriously considering this myself. But I really like the integration... I was aware it did this since I had the same issues on my O.G. Evo. Google needs to just step up and make a way for us to turn off the MMS/Text. Or at the very least refine it because it handles them like garbage...
If you integrate using option 1 (Use your sprint number as your GV) and Don't use the GV app, then correct your settings on the GV site, you get MMS, etc, plus all the goodies of GV integration.
It seems to be working fine for me.
All sms is handled by the GV app and if I get any mms, it goes to the stock messaging app. Is that not what others are seeing?

Others want their stock text app to handle sms which it can if you tell Google Voice app to let text messages through.

No. Remember, you can use Google Voice integration even on phones that don't HAVE a Google Voice app. It really works server-side, and the app is just a client to the service they provide.
Yes but the thing that made the Sprint/Google voice integration unique was that you replaced your google voice number with your sprint number. You essentially only have one number now, which I like. If I deactivate this service, I'd have to go back to having two numbers, as far as I can tell. So that's the reason it's a tough decision for me, unless I'm totally missing something...

I want to be able to have the voicemails downloaded directly to my phone meaning not just a text notification, not dialing my number to hear them, just pressing play to hear them. And I'd like them transcribed too.
And for the texts I want them to go to either my default texting app or another app of my chosing but not the GV app.
And I want to maintain the tight integration with my Sprint #, meaning Sprint # = my GV #. Someone lay out the steps to achieve this exactly and I'll gladly donate $10

There's a catch, as with anything. If you turn your sprint # into your GV number (option 1), you get MMS, you get SMS, you don't need the GV app, but it kinda ties to to sprint pretty much. If you ever change you're going to PAY to port your number IF you even can.
If you choose to use your GV number as your sprint number, (option 2) you'll lose MMS and the other drawback is billing. The unlimited mobile to mobile database is tied to prefixes so sprints lookup routines won't be able to figure this out and you'll use your minutes.
Seems like they only added option #2 for folks that gave out their GV number to everyone and not their cell. Fortunately I was NOT one of those that "fully" shared my GV number.
If you go option #1 for full integration, you'll lose your GV number as your sprint cell number becomes your new GV number. You'll have to set the settings that your number is ALSO a cell and to send texts to it from the GV website.
MMS and SMS will go right to whatever SMS program you choose to use (I use handcent) You will NOT want to install GV app on your phone at this point, but do make sure you set up the GV web to also text you or email you when you get a voicemail. <- important step, or you may not get any notices since that's what the GV app also does and you didn't install it.
How I have it setup is I have call groups, friend lists and time schedules.
Work and family in my list is allowed to call me after 11pm. Nobody else.
Work rings both my home phone and cell between 8-5:30 pm, then only my cell after that.
I also have 2 telemarketers blocked from the GV site as well.
GV is pretty powerful IF you use it and you configure it correctly. there are folks that hooked up VOIP devices that also share the same line where they can make/receive calls through that, all using the GV single line.
You will have a miserable time if you don't set it up correctly or just install the GV app and don't pay attention. <--- do NOT be this person!!!! hahahaa

This is pretty much where I am now. I decided that taking texts out of the GV app was more imporant than voicemail for now. The major drawback to this set up is that although you get a text notifying you of the voicemail, which will include a transcription, you can't actually listen to voicemail unless you are using the GV app or you call your own number and log in. Sprint's voicemail app will not pick it up
I've never played with the voicemail piece. Never used VVM either. I always just dial my number and enter my password (from the phone) or open it in my email.
BUT, I get like 1 voicemail message a month IF I'm lucky.
Can't direct you with voicemail. But to me, the other features are more important as my cell is also my work #.
Is there any way to get the GV app to display on the lockscreen like the stock SMS app does? The only problem I have with using the GV app is that I lose this functionality.
Ok I am that guy. I set up GV blindly and now I can not get any texts sms or mms and I can not make any phone calls or receive. I know I am an idiot for not reading but I did not realize that it was changed. Can anyone help, PLEASE?
Edit: Not sure what happend but after lossing all data I now have my phone back.
Hi,
I have searched this and other threads for an answer but couldn't find one. Hence the post.
I ported my number over to ATT from Sprint (on which GV was working like a charm).
On ATT Note, when I install GV, I don't get the compose message icon. Nor do I get any voice mails. All my voice mails go to the ATT mailbox. I setup GV the same way as I did on the Evo. I even went to Google Settings and I see my phone number listed there.
Has anyone come across this?
If so, could you please help me out here?
Thanks,
V
When you log into the google voice site does it show Sprint or ATT as your carrier?
if you add the google voice widget it should work..there is a GV toggle widget and there is a full widget that you can read your voicemails and also has a compose button on top right corner..
hope this helps!

When I go to configure voicemail service and choose GV, it gives me a confirm box with an error message saying "Change to new provider?". When I click yes, I get a dialog box which says "Forwarding number change failed"
I'll give the widget a try. Thank you.
Update: The widget didn't have a compose button either

Mine is working perfectly on the note, but try removing the number from your voice account and delete the app, then reinstall and setup like normal. IIRC there is a confirmation text or something too. If you ported your number from sprint, that may be why it's giving you problems because sprint has the integrated system and at&t is straight forwarding/app.
I did get the same error message when setting up voicemail, but when I went back in to the voicemail settings on the phone, I was able to select it and get forwarding active. Also, in addition to the full widget, you can setup a shortcut toggle to use voice for all calls/international only, etc

I had a lot of trouble setting up mine also. I eventually just set up the forwarding manually through call settings. Works fine but I received the same error during setup but works fine anyway.
U was having the same issues. Turned out AT&T Messages was blocking access to forwarding. I called AT&T customer service and had then reset my voicemail settings, and Google Voice starting working the next phone call!
Messages tries to take over every time it runs, so I rooted the Note and deleted it and other Bloatware.

Anyone know how to disable and/or uninstall stock voicemail? I want to use Google Voice but can't seem to set it up.
You may need to go on a pc and set it up from there. I used to use Google voice but switched back a while ago so I'm not sure. Download and install the app and check the settings but I think you may have to enable it from the actual Google voice website.
I had trouble with Google Voice, but YouMail works like a champ for me.

Usually there is a voicemail setting in the phone >settings page. From there you assign a voicemail phone number to dial aka your google voice number. Some phones have this in the dialer app or similar settings. It sucks if it's missing since the voicemail button in the dialer won't work and wont allow itself to be modified most of the time. If those settings are missing like they are in the GS5 (im buying a g3 today) then you will have to disable Sprint voicemail and use the phone to setup call forwarding to your google voice number. The google voice app from the Play store will ask you to merge your gvoice number with your sprint number and pick either as the ONLY number. I don't do that part. It will ask you eventually to dial *__________ which is the call forwarding part. If it's integrated into the phone settings it doesn't ask that part usually. You can then call sprint and have them disable the voicemail for your g3's number.
You can also go to google.com/voice and add your number to GV. It will just give you instructions on setting up call forwarding and asking whether to use one number for both services. If you have that sprint phone number setup with another gv account it will be switched to the new one. A real number can only be linked to one GV phone number at a time.

Is Google Voice set up as integrated with your Sprint account? or are you using it as a separate service?
I to had issues with Google voice and it actually sent me a message stating that is was disabled. I went back and set everything up again, but then when I received a voice message it went to Sprint VM. I like Google voice, but I think I will just stick with the Sprint VM for now. You do need to go into your Google web page and set it up from there. I did change plans so that is why it went to the Sprint VM instead of using Google voice.
