Has anyone else been having problems with their texts never making it to the recipient?
I've been texting a verizon number a lot and every day, a few of my texts will never show up on the other end. I was wondering if anyone has faced this before.
I call tech support they had me do the usual, pull the battery, remote "refresh" but my texts are still getting lost in space.
Had a facebook message that didn't get received until like two years later

I had this problem. Til I disassociated my Sprint phone # with my Google voice acct. Problem solved.

So did you have one number that was both Google voice and Sprint? I currently have my Google voice forward stuff to my sprint number but I doubt that would be problematic.

I linked my Sprint number to Google voice a while back to not use my Sprint minutes or texts. I didn't just forward. Once I undid it, my texts started working again, not one problem.
I originally had a separate GV number.

This has happened to me as well, I was asked by someone if I got a text because I never responded. But yeah, didn't get a thing

This happens to me too sometimes. Only thing is abt 2 days later, the texts come flooding in all at once. So Google voice is the culprit? Interesting...

Same exact thing for me. I logged into Google voice, clicked phones, unchecked my Sprint #, and all is working now.
This has happened to me consistently since I signed up with sprint two years ago.

i have bad service where im at and it takes hours for me to get text. on my sensation when i was on T-mo i could do it over wifi. any help?
Google voice can do texting over wifi and calling but I don't know how the calling part works but for texting it will do what you want over WiFi.

I would also love to know if there's any way to text/voice call over wifi, since I never get signal at a certain place. I have to walk around the building like an idiot looking for signal.
However, I'm with Rogers in Canada, and Google Voice doesn't work here. Any ideas?
There may be something else that can do that through some tweaks. I'm not sure what tho... Google for some "alternatives to Google voice"

you could you use textfree for text I believe it works with wifi...
You'll have to do this:

Works for the 3d too. You'll lose mms though.

I've heard from a people on Sprintusers that GV now supports MMS.
I've used and tried GrooveIP with some success, but the call quality has been very inconsistent, even within the same call. I haven't tried since it was updated, so perhaps it's gotten better. You might want to give it a try and see how it works for you.
I can not find any visual voicemail in the past two roms i have ran. i am on team venoms viperez rom now. when i get a voicemail it says in a txt to reinstall VM? i cant find it in the market? what do i do?
I believe Joel said he removed it because it wasn't working properly in the Rom.

Visual voicemail does not work on sense 4 Roms . Unless someone came up with a fix , but I haven't found it . Try phone fusion on the market .

I got it to work by editing the build.prop and installing the thunderbolt visual vm app. I'd post here but XDA app won't let me upload to post.

Flash the .zip file from recovery and install vm.apk as regular app with any file explorer program.
Yeah, I just edited the build.prop line about visual voicemail, =false, and then installed a verizon VVM apk
Why not use Google Voice?

Every time someone asks about Verizon branded Visual Voicemail, most users say this. There are so many reasons I personally use VZW VVM. For one, I like having 2 separate VM inboxes, one is GV for my business calls, the other is VZW for my personal calls. Second, it's convenient. Third, I get it for free.
GV for voicemail is not an end-all solution.

I'm not sure if I want to thank you or not because now my options for roms to start flashing and playing with is a lot larger
Seriously thank you though.
Is there any reason that Joel wouldn't use this solution for his roms? Does it affect any other parts of the rom?
I don't use google voice, because for the 2 days that I tried it, over half of the missed calls gave the caller an error about not being able to connect (can't remember the exact verbage) and did not give them an option to leave a voicemail.
I use my phone for work, and I can't afford to deal with missing voicemails.

Running Viper, no kernels and no Google Voice used as a phone number, although I do have an account using GV, but just for texts. Anywho, calls are going straight to voicemail. I only get the VM notification icon to show someone called. I've wiped cache, etc., no change.
Any suggestion prior to wiping? No, the DTTM is not checked under call settings.

Can you make calls? Or do you get an error some number?

Ahh, good question. Phone works great, texts, etc. I just get all my calls sent to VM.

Google voice integration could have been messed up on server side. Maybe double check Google voice settings on phone and Google website, make a modification, save, modify back, save to see if that fixes the issue.
Also I had an issue last week where I was missing calls, vm not being pushed to visual voice mail (no vm notifications either), and texts were coming in hours late, not at all, or in bursts. But i could send text and make calls just fine. I updated my profile and prl with no luck. Eventually I had to call sprint for tech support for the first time in 14 years. They walked me through the process for doing a hands free first time activation on my phone and all my issues went away immediately.
Hope this helps

Yeah, thanks for the advice. I did both ##786#, and ##72786# today, and both did not allow the phone to ring. Weird!

Verizon's visual voice mail is giving me lots of problems on the G3. Well actually the same problems after the kitkat update on the G2 too. 50% of the time I get a no data connection error and have to refresh. That or turn off wifi for a while which seems to handle it better. It's a real nuisance. Anyone else see anything like this? I'm thinking it's a combination of Kitkat and Verizon.
Yes. It's horrible. Same on Droid Maxx.
My solution is perfect. Use youmail visual voicemail. And use the app better youmail. It avoids the annoying contact sync that youmail uses. And you can change every setting and then some.
The only feature that doesn't work is, if you integrate the voicemail in your call log, it will show up but you can't hit play. But if you have a notification of a missed voicemail it will play from there just fine.
Highly recommend. Worth the cost.

thx, but the reviews seem to sketchy and really Verizon should fix this.
The reviews are good from my friends and family. Just refund it if you don't like it. Trust me messages never expire

They also don't say how much it is on the play site. Is it a monthly service or one time charge?
One time charge for the app. 4.99 I think. It's worth it. No annoying contact sync that youmail app has.

The voice mail notifications seem to clear and not return whereas on my s3 cleared voice mail notifications would come back.
To me it is the worst thing about the phone. It's almost unusable. How can it be so hard to manage voice mail? This is the kind of stuff that makes me re-think iphones as an option. . . . nah.. not yet.
Seriously, it is a hand off issue I think. This should just silently fail until it gets a good enough signal. It's just amazingly annoying otherwise.
If I put in my T-Mobile sim and install their visual voicemail, it works great. Same with Cricket.

Google Voice.
By the way, I tried that Youtalk app and it was the worst piece of S I have ever tried to use. It didn't work at all. I'll just suffer through the missed data connections of the Verizon app.

It's a work phone and I don't want to use Google voice. I want Verizon voicemail to work correctly. If it can't work on wifi, then it should ignore wifi. It doesn't. verizon needs to fix this to work better.

I mean we are on an android OS... The beauty of android is that if your voicemail app isn't working you have tons of options in the play store for visual voicemail. I would recommend YouMail..best visual voicemail out there IMO..

Amen to youmail! Love using it with better youmail app to avoid annoying contact sync and gain extra features. Disappointed that vm call log integration doesn't work well though.
