Yeah it only syncs over data.
I've had no trouble receiving VVM while connected to WiFi.

it also activates your data to recieve the new voicemails in addition to your wifi being activated. try opening the visual voice mail app, the ATT one, both icons will show up.

I know. Some people have difficulty receiving MMS and VVM while connected to WiFi for whatever reason. If this was what OP was referring to, I was simply stating that I don't have this issue, so it doesn't happen to everyone.

Is there app or a way to be able to use google voice to make calls while in airplane mode? I get a cant make calls in airplane mode. So the phone is holding me back google voice looks like it wants to in background but pop up windows stops it.
My idea is i want to be able to when in low signal area with good wifi like work or home, be able to switch to airplane mode, forward calls to google voice, and be able to call out if needed like normal.

Airplane mode turns off all of the phones radios, which includes the mobile network. No data or voice can be sent/received.

Google Voice does not currently support voip. Gizmo5 is the native, legacy voip support vendor, purchased by Google, that you could have used until earlier this year. We are all waiting for Google to announce services to replace Gizmo... There is definitely something big in the works. In the interim, you can subscribe with an alternate Sip vendor (callcentric) who will change your caller ID for your outbound calls if you ask them to over the phone. I am not up to speed with which sip client works best on android and would imaagine google will eventually release their own.

yea mean over wifi only, when you hit airplane mode, all turns off, but you can turn wifi on in airplane mode. or maybe even if there is a turn cell radio off mode. and i can use forwarding app to google voice.

Skype now works with Atrix at 4.1.83 (Android 2.2.2) and above. You can configure your Skype accont with Outbound Caller ID to match your cell or Google Voice account. Inbound calling is another thing of course.
Reprimand me if this has been addressed already and my stupid ass couldn't find it.
I live in an area with no 3G coverage at all. EDGE will suffice for simple things such as sms/mms, phone calls (obviously), and web browsing with Opera Mini.
At my house, we have wifi and my phone is always connected to it and signal strength is always excellent. Since I live in the woods, I get no more than 2 or 3 bars of cell service at any given time, if I'm lucky. One or two is the norm.
Can I make calls over Wifi? Or sent text/picture messages? Perhaps I simply don't understand how it works, but a large percentage of the time when I try to reply to a text, it fails and I have to send it repeatedly. Or if someone sends me a picture of some sort. Takes forever to download, if it works at all. Making a phone call is an exercise in futility. Perhaps it has to be done a certain way.
I'm running the latest version of ShoStock2 at the moment, but these problems happen with AOKP, CM9, and Phone Bricker, amongst others.
I'm sure there's apps that allow you to do that. First Google result shows Talkatone. Idk if there's other similar ones/better ones, but you can start there.
As for text, I'm sure there's an app for that too
I used textfree on my iPod. Can't recall if I couldn't send or receive pics though.
For calls, to my understanding, naturally. No. I'd say get something like Skype where you can do VoIP and do all your calls from there on WiFi, as for texts and MMS you really shouldn't have any problems. as far as I'm concerned, texts should be fine, and mms should download via wifi if you are connected. But if it continues to be a problem you could always get Textfree or Whatsapp and get your friends in on that. Its platform wide (literally) and is supported on every device i can think of.
Hit thanks if I've helped you.
Hope you figure out this issue!
You could use text free for texts you just couldn't use your own number or Google voice of course for text and calls. But you can't route your actual cell phone calls and texts over wifi. T-Mobile has that capability but not us on at&t.

Actually there is a new app called Sidecar that lets you call any number over WiFi for free.
I have tried it, and its pretty good.

Also bobsled.
Voice calls? YES
SMS? YES
MMS? NO
I thought that Google voice was supposed to start supporting MMS, but not sure when. I have been waiting for a while. I use Groove ip as well.
Whats difference between SMS and MMS? A friend and I are 7 days late and our phones are off.
I had viber but got rid of it cause i wasn't using it. (maybe redownload?)
Also my google voice doesn't let me make calls or send messages? (it says I can do international calls - but I turned it off cause it said I needed money in a "google account" sigh...)
I can still use wifi at my house, but thats about it.

You can use Google voice to make call plus text I use it all the time just create and account or sign in with your Google account it even gives you your own number which is used to call or text

So I have an AT&T Note that I use with T-Mobile.
I am in a bad reception area and want to use Google Voice to place calls with WiFi.
Is there a setting that I have to use on the phone to allow VoIP calls and if so where the heck is it LOL. I have looked thru all settings and cant find it.
Using Gubment Cheeze ROM.
THANKS!
If placing a call with Google voice it will use WiFi. Nothing to change.

I believe this to be wrong. I was pretty sure the only way to get google voice to make calls over a wifi connection was to use a an app like Grooveip. That is the app I use to make wifi calls with my phone, and it works pretty well. Reason being that google voice has no built in dialer. When you use google voice on your phone's default dialer your call goes out across your carriers data not wifi. When you run an app like Groove ip it will in fact connect to wifi with your google voice account and place the call over wifi. It is a payed app. There might be other apps that are free in the market, but I know for a fact Groove ip works.
if you go into settings for google voice and select making calls it gives you 4 chooses for making calls. use google voice to make all calls/do not use google voice for any calls/ international calls/ or ask every time. if set to all calls it will use google voice when dialing out with stock dialer. i have mine set to ask every time. when i go to dial out using stock dialer it ask if i want to use google voice or not. i can verify it is using google voice over wifi by monitoring data used in settings. wifi useage from google voice goes up after placing call and selecting use google voice. but mobile data will stay the same.
Here is a better way to check. Settings/more settings/Mobile networks/uncheck enable data access over mobile network. Now make a call. I believe you will see my point.
Otherwise why would anyone even use an app like Groove ip.
I mean I have been wrong before, but if I am wrong this is a recent update. I am quite sure wifi calling is supported on custom roms, but bone stock ATT there is no wifi calling. Perhaps you are running a custom rom that supports wifi calling.
I use an app called Talkatone for this. It integrates with GV and worked much better for me than groove ip did (horrible delay in conversation). The cool thing is that it dials using data also so I have t mobiles Prepaid $30 plan with 100 minutes and unlimited data and hardly use any of the plans minutes.

i was on cm9. i just flashed back to stock to try and see if still works the same and it does. i unchecked data access over mobile then made a call using stock touchwiz dialer and with google voice set to ask to use for each call. when dialing out i get the same popup that i get using cm9 asking to use google voice or not. tried both ways with and without. called att customer care and when not using gvoice it knows my att number. call with gvoice and ask what number i am calling about so i know it is being directed through gvoice. once again checking data usage and i can see wifi data increasing for gvoice but not mobile data. best thing to do is try yourself on your setup and see if it works for you. if not then use a 3rd party app.
You are the only person I have known that was able to do that.

when i get more time i will test some more and make sure i am not missing something. would like to completely disable mobile network and see if it still works on wifi only.
well i dont know why i didnt try before but turning airplane mode on and wifi on calls with google voice through stock dialer are no go. I WAS WRONG. please ignore all my post in this thread. learn something new everyday. thanks Butchr for pointing that out.
Not trying to bust anybody's balls. Just trying to avoid misinformation here.
I tried all of the above and none worked.
Just flashed a T-Mo ROM and everything in it works EXCEPT the WiFi calling.
I now live in an area where I NEED WiFi calling so I can use the darn phone at home LOL.
Guess I"ll run over to the T-Mo dev section and see what I can gather there for 411.
Thanks for all of the input folks.

True that.
So about a week ago I continuously get this notification that says my visual voicemails can't synchronize since I turned my data off.
"Data network connections are not available. Once your network connection is restores visual voice mail will synchronize your voicemails"
I am not paying for visual voicemail on my plan and I called a rep only to tell me that it can't be turned off. I said so how did it all of the sudden pop up? Is anyone else getting this notification pop up? It is getting really annoying. I'm rooted on the stock rom if that matters.
Edit: I just saw that I was subscribed to basic visual voicemail so I switched that to Basic voicemail. Hopefully this takes care of the problem.

Visual Voicemail Basic doesn't cost anything, and you can use the app without a subscription. Just tells you who called with a play/pause/delete button. Visual Voicemail Premium gives you access to more stuff like transcribed voicemail. If you don't use the app at all, though, have you tried disabling the app? Edit: Nevermind, I remembered that disabling the app removes voicemail notifications entirely.
I use Xposed, and there is an app called NotifyClean that is really handy. You can individually ban specific notifications for each app from ever showing up again. That's what I use to get rid of the voicemail one.

Hello, after updating my VRZ SG4 to the 5.0.1 lolipop i can't send txt messages. Everything else works fine,i can receive txt but cant send it.
Is there anything i can do to fix this proble. I am using my phone with different carrier,not verizon.
Thank you in advance.

The issue has to do with 4G/LTE. If the phone is in any other mode (3G, H+, etc...) the texts send. There is something goofy with the 4G/LTE.
Hmm, but the texts worked when the phone was on kit kat???
Im having a similar issue with incoming and outgoing calls not working even with full 4G. I can send/receive text messages and use Internet. I've been through two Sim cards and it hasn't fixed the issue. Has been doing this for 3 weeks now.
I'm having this issue, is there a work around for the texts?
just found out a workaround ... download app called Advance Signal Status from play store, and change your Network setting in the app to WCDMA ... everything should work. I know you will not get LTE, but H+ is good enough for speeds, atleast for tmobile.

It has to do with how Verizon is switching it's plan structure. Lotsa weird stuff happening with Vzw devices. Gov't screwing around.
I fixed by uninstalling verizon messenger+, installing android stock messenger from google apps, and reinstalling verizon messenger app.
