I've seen plenty of posts where people are trying to get AT&T VVM to work on an ICS/JB ROM. Some are successful, some aren't.
I missed - from my iPhone days - a TRUE VVM... an INTEGRATED VVM. I feel that having to open a 3rd party app is a very inelegant solution.
This post will serve as a guide on firstly; how to setup the Note to work with Google Voice, as the automated setup just plum doesn't work, and secondly; how to integrate it into the Call Log.*
* NOTE: Integration with the call log currently only supports an AOSP (CM/AOKP/LiquidSmooth/etc) Dialer and possibly any 3rd party dialer that explicitly states compatibility with GV. Sadly, TouchWiz Dialer does NOT support integration. So neither the GB nor ICS stock ROMs' dialers will support this.
One of Google's services is Google Voice. Many people use it for SMS and VOIP, but you can also use it strictly as a Voicemail service.
First things first. You have to be provisioned by your Carrier for Visual Voicemail. As I'm on AT&T and came from an iPhone, I already was. So I had nothing to do here.
Just for the record, my phone is:
AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note
CyanogenMod 9.1.0
STEP 1
Go to Google Voice on a PC.
Log in, and set up Google Voice. For straight VM purposes, you do not want to make outgoing calls with GV. Be sure to choose that.
Once initially setup, you will click on the Settings gear at the top right, then click Settings.
Now click on the link that states "Activate Voicemail". (you would have this during initial setup, but this is how to return here always)
You'll be presented with the following box of information:
NOTE: you will NOT do what this box instructs you to do. This is the part that does not work.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Jot down the number you see after the *004*. This is your GV VVM routing number.
STEP 2
Install Google Voice on your phone and setup.
Simple enough. Here's the link for the Play Store
Open the app. You'll want to sign in with your gmail account that you created the GV account with on your PC.
You'll step through the setup. Be sure to select as shown below:
Once you reach the below screen, select SKIP. (This is due to the auto-config being ineffective)
Once you've finished the setup of the app, you'll eventually be looking at a GV screen that's empty of VMs (or not if you've used it before).
You're done here for now.
STEP 3
Setup your Dialer manually to forward calls to GV instead of Carrier VM.
Open your dialer, hit the menu key, then select Settings.
Ignore everything else about VMs, scroll to the bottom and select Call Forwarding
After this loads data from the Carrier, you'll be looking at three sections with numbers in them. These numbers are your Carrier's specific routing number to forward unanswered calls to their VM service. Record this number down if you wish.
Tap the first box with a number in it, then change it to the number you recorded down from the GV webpage.
Repeat this for the following two sections with numbers. You want all three to route to the same GV VM routing number.
STEP 4
Integrating GV with the phone's Dialer.
At this point. Your phone is setup and will work. You can go ahead and test it out if you'd like. By default (i think), GV will transcribe any message left to you and send you an email and sms with the contents, along with making an entry in the GV app on your phone. This is OK, but it's still not INTEGRATED, like I'm used to with an iPhone.
So, right now, the Call Log in the Dialer looks like this:
Open the GV app.
Hit the menu key, then select Settings.
Select the option "Voicemail Display" (honestly they should make this bold and name it INTEGRATE TO CALL LOG)
Now open your Phone and go to the Call Log. If you have any VMs, it will look like this now:
If you tap on the Play button by an entry, it'll go to the following screen:
And there you have it. Now, don't you feel silly for trying till you're blue in the face to make the AT&T VVM app work? It's trash compared to this. PERIOD.

All you have to do is get att customers service to disable i forget the name i thinks its somethjng like next generation messaging. They had to delete my plan then redo it and when it said is this a next generation device they put no. Then art visual voicemail will work

I haven't used ATT Vmail (visual or otherwise) in years. I use GVM instead. Not sure what the issue is or why the above is needed (and I am not trying to put the OP down), but I simply put GVM as my voicemail number a couple of years ago and now I get both a text and an email with a fairly accurate transcription of the VM. If the transcription is really bad, or it has specific information that I really need, I press "play message" from my email voicemail transcription and it opens a browser window, automatically downloads the Vmail as an MP3 and I listen to it.
EDIT: Sorry, I reread the OP's post and the only difference is that I do not have it integrated into my dialer. I do have a contact with my GV number listed so on my dialer it comes up as Googlevoicemail, which is what I listed it as in my contacts.
You're correct. This is something inherently easy, but some have expressed difficulty with setting up on the Note, plus I wanted to share the integration which I really wanted.

I like using att visual VM because I don't like Google voice taking control of my text messaging. From what I remember you could turn it off but it was a pita and every time you flashed a new ROM you had to set it up again
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Not sure if it used to be that way, but that's completely not how it works now.
When I flash a new from, I have install google voice app, go through the setup in the app quickly, then change that option in the settings to integrate. That's it.
SMS and such still goes through at&t network.

My bad.
Voicemail integration works great, but there is one issue:
When there is a new voicemail, although there is a notification in the status bar, there is no ringtone alert. I have double checked the notification ringtone selected in Call Settings under Voicemail setup. The phone vibrates when a new voicemail arrives and vibration is enabled, but never rings.
Anyone else facing this issue?
Nice set of instructions. Very easy to follow.
Personally, I've been using AT&T Messages app (free on Play Store). It puts transcribed vm, mms, and sms in one conversation thread. It only works with AT&T however.
Great instructions. I would like to add 1 thing that was not mentioned...very helpful if you would like to access your voice message by holding down the 1 key in the phone dialpad.
How to update the actual voice number in settings?
1. Open your dialer, hit the menu key, then select Settings.
2. Scroll to Other Call Settings and select Voicemail
3. Click on setup and then Voicemail number.
4. Enter new Google Voice access number i.e. +19161234567
5. Click OK and exit settings.
Note: Your Google Voice access number is different than the Google Voice routing number mentioned in this thread that is used to setup the call forwarding.
THANKS!!

The lack of a Google visual voicemail for Winmo has pissed me off for long enough, so now I've take it upon myself to resolve this great injustice.

Details:
Google Visual Voicemail is a semi-offline client for Google voice. You can view and play your voice messages as well as mark them read/unread and delete them.
When updating, message text is downloaded to a local cache that can be viewed at any time. Audio is downloaded the first time you click play and is stored for future use.
You must update manually by going to menu->update. Automatic voicemail checking is being worked on, keep an eye on the NEW section.
(v 0.3)
Numbers are looked up against the phone's contact list, names are now displayed when known.
(v 0.4)
Lot's of good stuff this time!
Make calls via Google voice.
This version includes a very simple dialer (look in the menu) and an option to return calls via google voice. You must set the number of the cellphone you're using in the settings menu for this to work.
Upgraded to SenseSDK 1.3
Latest and greatest, should be more stable all around.
Separation of Voicemail and SMS
I originally didn't realize that the default view would show sms. Rather than taking it away from you guys, I've separated sms from the default view. (Sending sms will get done when I feel like it.)
Removed from 0.5!!!
GVV now calls its update methods every so often on it's own and caches your Google Voice account. Configure frequency under settings.
When GVV downloads something by itself it puts up a notification to that effect.
Fixed
No parse error for empty folders.
Xmldocuments are unlocked manually, you should no longer see errors about xml files being locked.
Removed update from startup, it should drop you into the UI a bit faster, but you'll have to run an update yourself.
Clearing the cache first checks if you have a cache.
SMS should show full thread now as on GV.
Numbers are checked against outlook contacts without a 1 in front.
Deleted messages are now removed from the main list.
(v0.5)
Added contacts to dialer.
Changed when updates happen
Added update on receipt of GV sms. The sms is left alone for now.
Removed timed update as it didn't work during sleep mode.
Fixed
Contact number comparison, again I hope.
Non-gmail addresses should work now.
JSON parse error on missing location.
Specified argument was out of range on login should be fixed for everyone now.
Looks like Google was disallowing passing the auth token in the url, updated to use a header.
YOU WILL LIKELY START GETTING THIS ERROR WITH OLD VERSIONS, UPGRADE TO 0.5+!
(v0.5.5)
Upgraded to SenseSDK 1.36
Fixed
Dialer item names guaranteed to be unique. *Fist shake at SenseSDK*
Update button updates both sms and voicemail at the same time.
(v0.6)
Upgraded to SenseSDK 1.38
This should fix all the transcript sizing issues. If yours doesn't look right let me know.
New SMS Form
Create new SMS's and reply to your messages via the same form.
Support adding one time numbers and picking from contacts.
Audio redirected to handset
Load Speaker/Handset Speaker switching is handled by DynRIL by Teksoft and may have is own issues or restrictions.
This is very experimental!
I know it talks to the audio driver so not all hardware may be supported! This has been tested as working on my TP2.
I know it doesn't like to redirect when there is audio playing, especially to the handset. So if you have wmp in the background playing, it may not work.
I've also had some trouble doing handset->speaker->handset, the issue usually corrects itself if you pause message playback manually, toggle the setting, and resume the message.
Fixed
Dialer item names guaranteed to be unique, again. *Fist shake at self*
Better threading support for SMS. The thread is no longer treated as one transcript.
(0.6.2)
GVV now quits
The WMP COM object was keeping the application open, it is now closed before the application exits.
SenseSDK lists are manually unloaded before exit as per eboelzner's sample programs.
I still see a small memory leak, I'll try to track it down as best I can, but most of the memory used is released on exit.
(I thought managed code was meant to prevent exactly this crap, Thanks Microsoft!)
Upgraded to SenseSDK 1.39
This version has changes to the way items dispose as well, it should help free memory on exit.
Fixed
SMS's were send with a blank "id", this seamed to break threading for replies. Removed id from POST altogether, looks like Google guesses the thread now.
(0.7)
Login Screen
Framework for changing log in on start has been added. Right now the login screen is just a way to edit the username options found in the settings file and screen. As the main screen still performs the login right now, incorrect credentials will not stop you from proceeding to the main screen (nor will a failed login).
Quickscroll
Quickscroll on contact lists. Buttons on the side of the contact list to jump to a section like HTC Contact Enhancement.
Fixed
The "Error drawing image[]" bug.
Improvements to dialer delete button, better rapid press support and holding for 1 sec+ will delete the whole field.
Removed skip to end ">>|" button, due to lack of necessity.
(0.7.5)
[NEW]
Auto Login
Autologin option added to start screen. Untick it to interrupt it and make changes.
Per account cache
Each username gets it's own cache file. So you can use GVV with multiple accounts. I don't think you can use a character in an email address that you can't use in a filename, prove me wrong and I'll change the naming system. (You may be able to break something by typing junk into the username field but everything should work for real usernames)
Fixed
Busy icon over messages no longer over messages.
GVV has been tested on a Touch Pro 2 and a Treo Pro, all resolutions should be supported, let me know if you experience layout problems.
You must have .netcf 3.5.
Want something else? You know what to do.
Instructions:
Install cab.
Enter your Google Voice details at the login screen.
For username, enter your full gmail address (ie. [email protected]) and for password your password.
Log In!
Enter your phone number and GV number on the settings page for dialer support.
Click save (click ok on the popup) then click cancel.
Click menu and click update.
Enjoy.

I'll look into sms for the next release. I don't use sms through GV, that's why it's not in there. But I can't send sms until I figure out how to get _rnr_se.

I see how to increment the VM count in WM and that'll pop up the VM icon, but the icon still dials Sprint voicemail. I'm not sure how to get the icon to start GVV instead, if I figure it out I'll add the feature along with autoupdate in the future.

Sounds like it's having trouble reading your cache.
Try to clear the cache from the settings menu and make sure you're using [email protected].
If you want, make a backup of your messages.xml and if clearing the cache fixes the problem send me a copy of the xml file so I can see what went wrong. (Keep in mind that that file would contain your message details.)
Let me know if clearing the cache doesn't fix it, that would be weird.
DEFINITE BUMP TO THIS APP. HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A LONG TIME!!! I POSTED A LINK TO THIS THREAD AT PPC GEEKS (US based)
Hopefully you'll get more users from there to warrant your continued development.
You can have Sprint "conditionally" forward your calls to your GV number for voice mail. It does NOT cost extra. If you universally forward your calls...then it'll cost you (some insane amount per minute.) Anyway, if I ignore the calls, if I'm busy, my Sprint line will get forwarded to GV. Dependent of the conditions I set up at GV...callers will receive different outgoing messages. I'm still notified of voicemail like normal. Hopefully this helps that OTHER Sprint user.
Thank you! (and feature requests)
This is really useful! Thank you!!! I'm donating immediately. Lack of Google Voice apps for Windows Mobile has been a real source of frustration for me, and I really appreciate your pitching in to do something about it.
A couple of requests for future features:
1. It would be great to have an "archive" button.
2. This one is probably trickier (and useful to fewer people) -- I love that you can return a phone call by clicking on the phone number, but the app routes the call through my standard dialer, which of course won't be calling from my Google Voice number. There aren't many good options for placing Google Voice calls from Windows Mobile, but one of them is iDialer. Not sure how many others would find this useful, but it would be great for me if there were an option in GVV to route the call through iDialer rather than the standard WinMo dialer.
Thanks again!

Minor Bug
Just noticed this -- if my voicemail inbox is empty, the system displayed a "NullReferenceException" error.
Thanks!
So, let's be honest here. Those of us who use Google Voice know how awesome it is, but we also know how woefully pathetic the setup is, and how easy it is to configure something you didn't mean to configure.
That's where I come in, with yet another clear-cut guide that's aimed squarely at newcomers who want to use Google Voice but have been burned by it before or have heard horror stories.
First and foremost, I'd like to mention that this guide is pretty much directed at those who ONLY want to use Google Voice for Voicemail (no Sprint integration etc). For AOSP users who are sick and tired of the phantom voicemail notification and just general problems with VVM, Google Voice is a fantastic solution that genuinely works.
Google Voice is extremely powerful and can do quite a few other things, but for the purpose of my trademark simplicity, I will only go over this.
So before we begin, let's start with a couple thing you'll be needing.
Stuff You'll Need:
~ An Android phone running any ROM
~ About 3 minutes of spare time.
-----------------------
Alright! Let's begin. (Please excuse the massive screenshots! qHD is as qHD does ) Also, I am doing this on MIUI. Although it may look different, it should not be any different on a Sense or AOSP/CM ROM.
1. Go ahead and grab Google Voice from the market. (Market Link)
2. Open it up, and this is what we see!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
STOP.
So, for the purposes of what we want to do, we do NOT want Sprint integration. For people who just want voicemail, this has caused a lot of headaches. If you are interested to know more about GVoice/Sprint integration, please read here: Sprint w/ Google Voice Integration)
For now, be sure to click "Skip".
3. The next screen will show up, asking you what Google account your voicemail will be set up under.
Pick the account.
3a. [MIUI/AOSP Users Only!] If you are using a MIUI or another AOSP-based ROM (such as CM) this action will trigger the Access Request function.
Be sure to tap "Allow"!
4. Once you allow (if the above step applies to you), you'll then see this screen.
Tap "Next".
5. We then come to a screen that asks us how we want Google Voice to interact with our phone calls.
So, you might be asking what these options do. If you're only looking to set up voicemail, please skip on down to the bright blue line that says "I'm only looking for voicemail".
Use Google Voice to make all calls - This option enables the ability for Google Voice to intercept all outgoing calls and route them through your Google Voice number. This feature is primarily aimed at those who are on a limited plan as far as minutes go. Your Google Voice number will always be local to your area, so what happens is that the number you dial out is dialed using your Google Voice number. Confusing? Let me explain it this way. (Follow the colors, it will help.)
Your number is 555-555-5555.
Your Google Voice number is 555-333-8888.
You choose this option.
You dial your buddy's number (650-444-4444).
Google Voice intercepts this outgoing call. It makes your number dial your Google Voice number, and then when it connects, your Google Voice number dials your buddy's number.
So, on your buddy's end, the call will be coming from your Google voice number, and even though your buddy is long distance, because your Google Voice number is in your area code, you're only going to use your regular minutes to call them.
Do not use Google Voice to make any calls - Google Voice will NOT intercept your outgoing calls in any way. This is the option we want if we are only setting up our voicemail and no other features.
Only use Google Voice for international calls - This option means that Google Voice will only intercept your outgoing call if you are dialing an international number. Why would you want this? Because Google Voice offers international calling credit. For instance, my girlfriend was on holiday in France for a couple of months, and rather than dealing with calling cards, I purchased Google Voice credit at 10 cents per minute. That way, all I had to do was add her international mobile number into my Android Contacts phonebook (making sure I had the country code preceding the number) and any time I dialed it, Google Voice automatically routed my call through my Google Voice number, which meant it only cost me 10 cents per minute to call her rather than the absorbitant amount that Sprint would have asked, and it was all conveniently and seamlessly done from my smartphone.
Ask every time I make a call - This option means Google Voice will prompt you every time you make an outgoing call, asking if you'd like to complete it with Google Voice.
---------------------------
"I'm only looking for voicemail".
Remember, for the sake of only setting up our voicemail, we'll only pick Do not use Google Voice to make any calls.
Continue on.
6. Once we pick the above option, we see this screen.
Tap "Next".
7. We see this screen next.
This screen tells us that we must dial this provisioning number to give Google the ability to handle our voicemail system. Instead of clicking the blue hyperlink, just click Configure. (we'll get the option to dial that next).
8. It takes us to our call settings, where we are asked to pick our Voicemail service.
Pick "Google Voice".
9. This screen pops up.
This is where we tap the blue highlighted text with out provisioning number in it. It will take us to the dialer and fill in the digits. Simply Call that number. You'll here a few beeps, and then it will hang up. This means that it was successful. Once it hangs up, hit "back".
Heads Up: It may still prompt you to dial the provisioning number. Simply hit "Ok" and make sure that the voicemail provider is Google Voice. As long as you've already successfully dialed the provisioning number, you're all set. Hit "Back" until you see Google Voice again.
10. You'll see this screen here.
This tells us that our inbox will stay sync'd through data. Click "Finish"!
11. Our voicemails/text messages will now show up as and when we recieve them. For advanced options such as setting up your greeting message, be sure to check out the online interface at https://www.google.com/voice.
And that's it!

Thanks, this was useful ;-)
Delayed Notification
Do anyone else have a problem with VM notifiaction taking 5 to 10 minutes to appear?
It will ask me to set up a pin...and when I type it...it will says that the phone number cannot be verified...Thanks!!!
When I leave myself a message instead of saying my greeting it says "the Google voice subscriber you have reached is not available". What should I do?
Thanks

Thanks for the guide LiquidSolstice.. very detailed and easy to follow just like your svn guide
Ive been meaning to setup Gv but was afraid to screw it up like I hear many do but it was a breeze with this guide and works perfect with MIUI. I dont even get a text that I have a voice mail which I thought I was going to get.
Thank you for this Liquid solstice! Great handbook for voice!
Sent from my PG8610000 using xda premium
Very nice guide! I have a quick question and a problem with GV I want to see if anyone else has experienced. First, is all of the setup reversible by uninstalling GV? For instance if you follow the set up exactly like you did, uninstalling will take the phone back to normal right? Same if you choose Sprint Integration?
Now my problem. I have been using GV for a while on my Sprint Evo 3D. I didn't choose Sprint Integration in the set up because I wanted full control over my original number, so I chose "Ask every time" which works fine (I use my Sprint number for personal calls, GV number for my business line). I am running Warm Rom (still sense 3.0 rls. one). I have in the past ran a couple different Alpha versions of the rom and have had this problem occasionally. So the problem is I will select a number from my recent calls list and select send, then use google voice, and then the phone will dial a completely different number (usually a random number out of my phone book I haven't called in a very long time). It will also happen if I choose not to use GV too. Very random, not very consistent at all. Also, it sometimes will do the same thing if I select a number from my phone book but not nearly as often. Anyone else experience this? I assume that some other app is maybe interfering, or something in the rom itself but really don't have the time to reset and start over. Actually going to wait for ICS and do some experiments then. Thanks for any help with this.

Very nice guide! I have a quick question and a problem with GV I want to see if anyone else has experienced. First, is all of the setup reversible by uninstalling GV? For instance if you follow the set up exactly like you did, uninstalling will take the phone back to normal right? Same if you choose Sprint Integration?

I wish I could help. I haven't run Warm in a long long time. Maybe you might want to ask in the Warm thread?
For all the times I dialed my girlfriend's number for when she was in France, it always connected to her, but then again, I only ever used MIUI with that aspect.
The guide worked great for me. Do you know of a way to reverse this so we could use sprints visual voicemail? Not saying I do but someone might.
I was about to ask that. I am finally back on sense...

I figured out how to change it back to sprints voicemail system. Dial *73 hit send wait for it to disconnect. Then dial *38 and wait for the disconnect. Then change the settings for voicemail back to my carrier.
My visual voicemail is now working.
Sprint EVO 3D.

TWRP v1.1.1
Hboot 1.4.1000
Radio: 97.10.08.08
This is a fantastic guide--too bad I probably messed something up earlier . . . I previously had a failed attempt at setting up Voice to replace VVM which wasn't working at the time. I got VVM working, so I just deactivated the features related to capturing my voicemail and sending them to my cell. This included obtaining a Voice phone number and setting it up to forward to my cell.
I just now followed the directions in the OP and everything worked up to the step where I click the link and dial the number. I get a message to the effect that the code/number provided is invalid.
Perhaps I need to ask Google Voice Help about this, but is there another step I can take in order to complete the conversion to using Voice for my voicemail?
-----------------------------
I get the same error when I try to use the "Activate Google Voicemail on this phone" link on the Google Voice site from my PC.
-----------------------------
It turns out that having created a Google voice number fouled things up. Setting my phone's number as my Google voice number fixed my issues.
Thank You
This deserves a sticky. I have fought with this for awhile and it was all due to not following the 'Skip' option when logging in to GV. Really appreciate your effort. I can finally choose which number to call from again and my peeps will actually answer my calls based on the area code.
I need help with my Google voice and re-integrating my Sprint mobile number with it. I guess a while back I un-integrated the number and now it wont let me re-integrate it again. I don't want anything to do with the Google voice number, I want to use my Sprint number for everything but every time I try to enable it, it gives me an error and I heard its because I had un-integrated it before. Any way around this? I have some more information below that might help you help me
When I try to change my Google voice number to my mobile number, I put it my sprint number and click on option 1 which is Use your sprint mobile number with Google voice, I click continue and get the following message: "Unfortunately, Google voice cannot be enabled on this Sprint phone. Please contact sprint for more details as to why this cannot be enabled." It is currently showing the number Google voice gave me.
When I click on check eligibility for sprint integration (using my mobile number) under "forward calls to" and click on option 1, verify my phone, it tells me the following: Unfortunately, Google voice cannot be enabled on this Sprint phone. Please contact sprint for more details as to why this cannot be enabled. I did this and they told me to try the following day but its the same thing over and over again.
Activating Google voice mail on this phone DOES work but its useless without the full integration.
Any ideas on how to fix this is very appreciated. I am regretting the day I un-integrated it.
Thanks!

I wish I would have seen this guide last night. Well, before I finally broke down And installed GV. I think I probably didn't do it this way, but I'm afraid to just clear data and uninstall/reinstall for fear it'll mess something up.
Any tips on safe uninstall of this?
Much thanks.

Ok. I apologize if this has been addressed and possibly even answered. I'm finding inconsistent responses on various boards and I've found this is usually the best place for the right response.
I have quite a few friends that use iPhones.
Those same friends love to send group text messages - which I assume stay as grouped messages for anyone with an iPhone.
PLEASE tell me there is a way I can pull this off on my Galaxy? A setting I'm missing perhaps?
I've tried the stock text app.
I've tried GO SMS PRO.
I've tried Handcent SMS.
I can't get any of them to help with this.
Am I missing a setting in one of these apps that can pull this off?
I also find lately that the I have to click a "download" button on the text that comes in. I don't know if this is a function of it coming in as a MMS?
Any insighte would be greatly appreciated.
I searched on this very same topic this morning and from what I read, this isn't native functionality on Android. I've been using an iPhone since the 3G and this is my first Android phone and the fact that this isn't core functionality is really amazing. For all the great things I love about the Galaxy S3, to not have the ability to group texts sent to multiple recipients and follow a conversation in a group is a BIG let down.
I thought I read in some threads that Handcent has some way to accommodate this feature, but it is buggy? Does anyone have any insight on this?

I read the same thing, but I've been unable to get it to work at all.
You can do it with the latest version of handcent but its kind of buggy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559824
I also believe the native messaging app on the Droid Bionic does it, but I'm not sure how it works.
iMessaging on Android
It is possible, and works pretty effectively.
One thing first, your having to press 'download' has to do with an option in your messaging app labeled 'MMS Auto-Retrieval' or something similar. Check that option and it will download all MMS together.
Anyway on to the part you want. I haven't used handcent's feature but GO SMS does this feature quite well.
1. Go into Settings
2. Go to the Advanced tab
3. Select the 'Sent Settings' option
4. Check the option for 'MMS Group Chat'

}
5. You can now group chat with iOS users. Whenever you send a group chat it will default to this setting and all iOS / GO SMS users will see it as one groupchat window. The same goes for when iOS users send you a message as part of a group chat. The only thing is...each message will always come as an MMS. It initially gets added as a new text from the person it came from, then it gets 'redirected' into the group chat conversation thats already open. Its not native...but it works.
hope this helped.
I use handcent for this and it works quite well for me.
1. Download Handcent SMS from Google Play
2. In "Application Settings" click "Default Messenging Application"
3. At the very bottom of "Application Settings", click "Thread group conversation"
4. Go into "Receive message settings" and click "Auto Download"
It is not quite as refined as iMessage but works nearly perfectly for me. Messages go through the individual sender before being sent to the group text and sometimes get stuck for a minute, for instance.
Good luck
I can't get it work with GO SMS pro. It appears to send them properly but they're always received in the individual contacts and don't copy over. This results in a very confusing series of conversations.
Going to give Handcent a try for a while and see how it goes. Thanks for the helpful feedback and how-tos

coming from an iphone i can say it's definitely not as good of an experience as imessage, but it's the best the android can do right now.
this is such a useful feature and is clearly possible in apps, i don't understand why it's not integrated better into android!

Thanks for this guide. I was able to get this working using GO SMS.
It's quite disappointing that I can no longer take advantage of the automatic calling when you lift the phone to your face that is built in to the G3 - but I seem to be the only person that liked it anyways.

Then that person is not replying to all. If you have the above setting checked it works great in GOSMS
stock messaging
yeah, I miss that feature too actually. However one thing that really ticked me off was how the stock app turned the screen on for EVERY single text message. Rather annoying. Aside from the group messaging, i think the screen off option vs hold to face calling was a fair trade off. (i know there are roms that disable that feature for the stock messaging app)

Yes, if the people you are chatting with don't have a form of iMessage / GOSMS / Handcent, then they will only be replying to you and messing up entire thread, haha.
Just think, thats what you were doing before you used gosms/handcent
So I gave Handcent a shot (with the settings provided in this thread) and didn't have any luck. A friend of mine sent out a message yesterday to me and a number of others and every person that responded to the message was a separate text message sent to my phone. I downloaded GO SMS Pro this morning in hopes that I have better luck with this app. It still floors me that this isn't native functionality on the Android platform.
FYI if you are coming from an iPhone and used iMessage before, you have to go into your apple support profile and unregister your idevice. Otherwise some messages - particularly group messages get lost.

In go SMS go to:

In your default messaging disable notification just in case.

So I don't know if it's just me, but I noticed lately that my stock messaging app doesn't display all my text messages. For example, twice today someone sent me a message, and twice they were wondering why I never replied. I do have my sprint number set as my Google voice number, but I hardly ever use the google voice app to send text messages. Oddly enough, all my messages are displayed in my Google voice app, so I did receive them. Does anyone have am idea why the stock messaging app just doesn't display some messages?
Your going to have to uninstall and deactivate your Google voice. For some reason, no matter what setting you have Google voice, it will intercept all your calls and text.
I had to deactivate my Google voice account and wait the recommended 15 minutes. Reboot your phone and you should be fine.

You can still keep using Voice for voicemail while having text messages get handled by Sprint. Here's how:
First, deactivate Google Voice so we can start from scratch: Voice > Settings > Sign Out
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Reboot (this is important). This should allow you to already have text messages working but to also have voicemail working in perfect harmony, do this:
Open up Google Voice again but follow my instructions for activating it. In the first screen hit skip NOT next. Next will activate Voice with full settings -- we don't want that:
Select your account and hit sign in. Hit Next and select how you want it to handle international calls (I chose mine to ask me every time). Hit Next and touch the 'dial *284066466449' button and wait for it to go through. Then go back and hit configure, select Google Voice.
To verify that you did it right, your Google Voice account (if you go into it with your browser -- voice.google.com) should look like mine:
Notice there is no 'text messages' or anything like that on the left hand side or tabs. If that doesn't work let me know and I'll look into it more. I had this issue before and it was annoying. Couldn't find a solution until I messed with it myself.
EDIT: After re-setting up Voice (had to disable it for screenshots ) I noticed that it now has a setting to allow messaging app to deal with texts. Settings> Notifications> Receive text messages through messaging app.
I can't vouch for that method, however.
It's not Google voice. It's the Evo. I don't have Google voice and I don't receive texts from at least three differ people. I been pissed about it for days. I'm about to download a messaging app and see if that help

In his case it is Google Voice (probably, since they do show up in Voice). With you, I would recommend profile update but if you already did that, early on some people were having issues with phone going into roaming and getting texts late or not at all. Re provisioning the phone fixed it.

I have disabled VZWAVSService too because it was popping up an error message every time I restarted the phone. I'll have to mess with it and see if I can leave it enabled without getting that error message.
So far having VZservice 're enabled I'm not getting that message anymore. I was getting it in the past which is why like everyone else I disabled it. Seems to be good now and I have restarted the phone several times which is when I would get the message.

I defrosted mine, whatever it is, and it force closes soon after every boot just like it did before. I am currently going through all my Google voice voicemails and they play fine, but I think they were already before I defrosted vzwavsservice. I'll freeze it again and see if Google voice voicemail still works.
There is also some Verizon based voicemail on the phone too.

Still no luck here. I re-enabled the VZWAVSerivce and it still popped up when I restarted with a message like "Unfortunately the service stopped". I even tried deleting the cache for that app and still the same prolem.

Ok, but did un-freezing it at least allow yo to play your voicemails from your call log? Just trying to pinpoint the reason I couldn't at first. With VZWAVSerivce un-frozen I can still play voicemail from the call log so I'm guessing thats the reason. And I only get the force close message when I restart my phone so I can lie with that.
Im curious to see if those who have un-fromzen VZWAVSerivce have voicemail playing from call log again? Thanks!!
You can always try the new Hangouts with Google Voice integrated. I've frozen the VZWAVService and voicemails work through Hangouts perfectly.

I'm not rooted, so I just disabled it in the application manager. There were no voicemails even listed in my call log anymore... which is weird because I remember seeing them listed before with a little play button next to them when it wasn't working. Maybe that's the problem... Maybe disabling VZWavservice removed all those from the call logs and I need to enable it again and have someone call me and leave a VM to see if it shows up again?

I'm hit and miss on Google Hangouts...been using the new Verizon message app as it sends text over wifi and the app itself is multi platform (OIS,OSX,Android,PC,etc..they make an install-able app for all platforms) I'm not sure if Hangouts sends sms over Wifi and if im correct it only sends actual hangouts over wifi? Does Hangouts save sms and hangouts on the server so if I wipe my phone i can get the messages back? (Verizon message does)
I know its slightly off topic but would love to hear a users opinion on Hangouts.
I read in comments on Play Store from Verizon indications that VZWavservice was a rebranded McAfee antivirus.
It is confusing.

If you have Google Voice turned on in Hangouts, all of your texts and calls are done over wifi/data. From what I've seen, your texts are saved online because they show up everywhere that you have Hangouts installed. The nice thing is that SMS and calls can also be done through the Chrome extension as well.
I just read a further response from Verizon on Google Play for the Verizon Support and Protection app, which is rebranded McAfee AV, in which it is clarified that VWZavservice has unrelated to Verizon Support and Protection. They did not clarify what it IS for though.
Could stand for Address Verification Service.

I wish this was the case but it only seems to happen with the Hangouts messages and Google Voice messages. Any SMS sent through hangouts using your Verizon number doesn't get synced to all your other devices running hangouts. Google really should do that.
It would mean no more backing up and restoring text messages when moving to a new phone.
