Visual Voicemail
I was trying to use visual voicemail on my GS2 Skyrocket and then again on the G-Note. In both cases, it was a b#$% to set up and it did not work reliably. Had to go to the At&t store a couple of time and have them reset a bunch of stuff.
I ended up using my Google voice number for voice mail. You can set it up to forward to that number. You get way better performance and feature, i.e. you can listen to your VM on a computer too. It can also email or text you a transcript of the voicemail, etc.
The only weird thing is that when someone calls it seems to call you twice, but it's just re-directing to Google Voice the second time.

Hello I recenlty got my Dell Streak from Best Buy. I have since used QDL and upgraded to the latest 2.2 sofware and rooted the phone. I really like and love this phone. The new software has corrected almost all of my concerns with the phone.
But.... LOL, Theres always a but.
Iphone 3gs was my first AT&T phone. It came preloaded with visual voicemail. A feature i soon came to love and adore. Before that I had a very long history with the Palm Treo on sprint which only had a voicemail indicator. BUT the streak has abosolutley no voicemail features whatsoever. No icon to tell you that you have pending voicemails. No visual voicemail. Nothing. I searched the app market and didnot find any solution at all. Also call me stupid but im not even sure how to check my voicemail on AT&T. I'm sure i can probably just call my number and put in a pin or something. But screw that.
This is a basic cell phone function. How could this be left out!
I guess im asking if there is a solution out there that i am not aware of, or if any developers can make a fix for this. Heck i would even pay for such an application. I know I can't be the the only person who has noticed this feature missing on the Streak.
Visual voicemail isn't supported by all devices. When I went from my blackberry to the streak the visual voicemail was gone from the services on at&t account online.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Have a look at Hullamail. It works great for me on O2 in the UK. From the app it notifies you if you receive new voicemail or missed calls and you can then view and listen from the app or set it to email you which you can then pickup and listen to the mp3 either on your phone or from your PC etc.
HTH

You may want to sign up and try Google Voice.
As far as accessing your voice mail on AT&T just open the dialer and long press on 1 (one). If your VM isn't set up follow the prompts.
Mine has a vm icon. I'm on Steve's 1.5.0. I don't think I've never had a vm icon though. I just pull the menu down and click vm and it calls.
PhoneFusion+ is a free service to ATT customers. ATT reps will tell you but BB reps don't have any idea (at least not the ones who sold me my Streak). It gives you visual notification of calls missed/voicemails. Also lists your voicemails visually with contact info and time of call. It actually call forwards the call to its server and plays the outgoing message stored on your card. Voicemails are then sent back to your card so you can view/listen w/o having to dial into att to retrieve.
If you want the entire text of the voicemail, they will do that for a monthly fee. You can try that part free for 30 days. I found it to be very inaccurate so cancelled text VM, but kept and use the rest of the app.
PhoneFusion+ is in the Market.

Google Voice FTW!
Android and Google Voice are like Peaches and Cream. If you're not using Google Voice on your Streak you're missing out. Free to sign up, you pick your number. It's AWESOME!
I too had the iPhone previously and Google Voice definitely fills the visual voicemail void.

Install the Google voice app from the market, run it and follow the prompts. If you get a message that the forwarding change has failed go to your google voice page on your computer and click on settings, then voice settings. Click on the voice settings link and when that page loads click on activate voicemail and follow the prompts there. Make sure your carrier is listed properly.
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.
Well I guess it depends which way you look at this...
I use (used) google voice strictly for voicemail on the Evo4g but it appears that somehow this works differently on the E3d.
The app essentially hijacked my phone and made itself the default receiver of text messages as well as voice/voicemail. I liked it better when i had the choice which program make all my calls and I much prefer the sense sms app over the one built into google voice.
Maybe i did something different but I noticed even the differences in the setup of google voice...it seems that sprint's carrier integration now allows for all this. Just wish i had the option to choose what part of the app does what.
Thought others might want to know as well. phone is GREAT by the way =]o
Did the same thing for me. Easy fix though. Go to voice.google.com and Deactivate Google Voice on your Sprint phone in Voice Settings. Deactivate call forwarding. Then you can re-enable call forwarding.
I was pissy about this myself. I hadn't tried the fix but unwilling as soon as I get to my pc.
So does this work? Does this just do phone or text as well? any update?
It's not an EVO 3D thing it's a Sprint Google integration thing. You just didn't setup your EVO from scratch after the Voice integration happened.
I love Google Voice integration. I've posted these links in other threads but they are good reads on why you are better off actually integrating and how to still use your default messaging apps.

Here are some other cool things I'm able to do now myself. I can make outbound and inbound calls on my google talk using my cell number on my computer wherever I have internet access. I bought an OBI110 and hooked up a phone to it so now I have free VOIP calls whenever I answer or receive calls to my CELL number on this phone. Now I don't have to give anyone a different number and I can still control who gets to reach me at what time of the day. I can answer and receive texts on my computer, laptop, tablet all using my cell number. All my texts are backed up and searchable to my google voice account (even texts I send from my phone using one of the regular messaging apps, not google voice app)
My opinion. Take the time and setup integration right. It's one MAJOR advantage of being an Android user on Sprint now. You're missing out on way more by not setting it up than you would by setting it up.
Oh and for those who don't want to lose your old Google Voice Number, Google lets you keep additional numbers at $20 per number.
Is there a way to get visual voicemail on the note?

Google Voice also works. (The text transcriptions are horrid, for me anyway, but you can turn that off.)
the thing I like most about GV is that if you have your contacts syncing to Google, you can set up different outgoing messages based upon groups.
I don't think youMail allows this, but I could be mistaken. I didn't really notice until reading this post that they didn't put the Visual Voicemail app on the Note. Maybe they (AT&T) are trying to push folks towards that AT&T Messages app that puts EVERYTHING into a common inbox?
I just upgraded from my Samsung Captivate which was running CM10 to the HTC One. One of the things I loved about the old phone was that all my voicemails would show up in my call log and I could play them from there. When I tried setting up GV on the new phone, I got a bunch of error messages and somehow the phone removed my old call forwarding rules and then couldn't reapply them. So I logged out of the Google Voice app and tried again. No dice. Finally, I went back and did it the old fashioned way by manually typing in the MMI code and managed to get the calls forwarded again to GV. When I went to the dialer app to manually switch the voicemail provider to GV, I again get the error messages and when it asks to still switch to the new provider I click OK. However, it kicks out another error message and then shows that nothing has changed and still lists AT&T as the default voicemail provider. So, has anyone managed to get this working properly or have AT&T and HTC once again colluded to completely bork functionality that works oh so well on stock Android?
Just got a response to my support request from HTC. Laughably, they claim they "cannot guarantee full functionality with Play Store applications." That is pretty pathetic. In their quest to differentiate, they eliminated one of the best features of Android in my mind. I hated dialing numbers and using the dialpad to access and control voicemail years ago. When Google made Google Voice available on Android, it was one of the factors that made me choose it over the iPhone. Then they made it even better than visual VM on iOS by integrating it into the dialer. This dialer from HTC is a huge step in the wrong direction. I don't need all this FB and Twitter integration crap. Just let me access my VM in the best possible way.
I have it working but I never got it to work using the Google voice app configuration.
It was still working when I swapped my son card to the HTC one from my gs3.
I had to go into the phone app and change the forwarding numbers manually. Also the voice mail number.
If that doesn't work I think you can contact at&t and they can fix it for you.
Wait...you have your Google voice voicemails showing up in the dialer app so that you can click play and listen to them without going into the GV app? I did manage to get the forwarding set up, but I want the voicemails to show in the dialer like they did on CM10.
Not working on Sprint and HTC One either

Same issue, voicemail set up, but I can not get the call log to show voicemails. Tried unchecking voicemail display as indicated in other forums, but doesn't work either way.
Bump...no dialer integration or notifications is a big problem for me as well.
Instead of making a new thread I will just bump this one. Did anyone managed to get they HTC One to integrate Google Voice visual voicemail into the dialer? I searched everywhere but couldn't find any info on that.
Maybe there are any 3rd party modifications that can fix this issue?
p.s Just to clear things for someone who reads between the lines my GV Voicemail is working fine, what I am trying to figure out is how to integrate it into dialer and get visual voicemail from there.

No luck. I stopped trying. I may give it another go.
Just installed ARHD Google edition Rom and visual google voice voicemail works great in there, but I prefer Sense based Rom so will go back to it. Shame visual voicemail doesn't work on it, seems like HTC broke the compatibility.
If anyone knows a solution that would be great!
