I came across a way to add your voicemail password to the contact since the normal way is locked.
Go to the dialpad and type ##7764726
Press send
Click on SMS/MMS Settings
Go to Voicemail number
Add in a couple of pauses, your password and a # sign.
That's it.
Now heres the drawback, in your recent call list it will show the password. There is no way to stop that.

The normal way thru your call settings menu works just fine.

Your right. I didnt even look there. I remember that the DroidX was having issues with this at somepoint. I just assumed it wasnt working on the X2.

Ok thanks for the tip though. I never knew the dial pad string for some of those settings. Every piece of info contributes to the whole.

As long as 3g doesn't go out. Had that happen to me the last time I was on google voice during one of vzw's network hiccups.

Not sure if I'm deleting something I shouldn't but every time I use the P3droid root after about a day I get the error com.motorola.contacts and i can't get into my contacts. Anyone else run into this problem? If so how do I fix it?

Have you frozen or deleted anything? Usually messing with the authenticators does it

I've taken them all off, just not yahoo. No one has had that issue from taking those ones off. Plus I defrost all of them and the issue is still there...

I Am wondering if it is possible to turn and android phone with a bad esn into my house phone by using my wifi and a free voip app on the phone. What app would you recommend?
sent from my CM7-dx2 using XDA premium
Theres an app my friend uses on his Xoom. I can't remember what it is off of the top of my head and his tablet is locked. I know you have to pay for calls after a certain point.

I have herd you can use sipdriod and I think Google voice and make it work. You will actually have a number for the phone for free over wifi.

Its called TextPlus. You get a number with it too.

Can you call for free over wifi?
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
It's called Groove IP. It works with your Google voice number. Get a free Google number and install groove Ip, sign on with your Google account and you're in business.

You guys gotta try groove Ip, it really works and it's 100% free over WiFi

Sweet! I'll check it out thanks!

Tried groove IP. Its ok but sipdrioid is free and seems to do the same thing. I have Google voice and sipdroid and can make phone calls out with my Google number. But still wonder if it will work on a known activated phone because it seems to need the android phone number to link it to Google voice. Any thoughts.

It didn't ask me for my number, utter should only ask for your Google account info. Is Google asking for your number or groove Ip.?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
This is all it asks for...... I can send it to you but I don't know how to do it here
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Yeah the number is created by Google voice and all you do is link groove IP or sipdroid to Google voice.
Can't get Google voice to link to my phone. When I call the Google voice number it rings my house phone not my cell.

Go on Google.com/voice from your computer and change the settings. IT HAS TO BE DONE FROM YOUR PC

Is anyone else having issues with not getting notified of a voice mail after the official ics update? My phone shows missed calls just fine but the only way I know I have a voice mail is if I check it.

Nobody else has this issue or an idea on what might cause it or how to fix it?

Well, seeing as I couldnt get this issue fixed I solved it by subscribing to visual voice mail and I now get the notification.

Hello All,
For some time now I have been bothered by the dimness of my screen when receiving a call. Does anyone know how to either increase the brightness of the call screen and/or know of a good (phone.apk) replacement?
I've tried a few from the market, but they don't play well over top of the native phone.apk.
Thanks!
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
I use tasker. Paid app but awesome. I have a profile when I am ecieving an incoming call it goes to full brightness.

Thanks for the idea! Found this one for free! Seems to do the trick.

Does Verizon have visual voicemail like sprint? If so how can i get it to work? I'm so sick of calling and putting in my password for every missed call.

Google Voice for sure, you can also set it up so it is incorporated into your Phone or Dialer app. Plus email and/or text messages of the transcription it's great.

Having issues getting it setup. Now I have a notification saying two unheard messages but *86 no longer works and when I call the Google voice number it says no messages. Guess I'll hafta look for some sort of Google voice instructions or guide or something.
