New to V30. How can I enable the visual voicemail tab on sideloaded Google phone app? Really missing this from previous device.
(I know I can view my visual voicemail in the pre-installed carrier voicemail app....I don't want to use that, I much prefer having it built right into the Google phone app)
Edit: I was able to get the voicemail tab to show up by downloading an old Google voice apk and checking the option "show voicemail in dialer" in settings. However, there is no 'play' button on the messages, so I cannot listen to them....at least this is a start. Any ideas?

I did mine through a computer awhile back because whatever phone I had wouldn't let me change.

I had to download the T-Mobile visual voicemail app from the Play Store. Unfortunately the working Google dialer (much older version than the one in the Play Store) doesn't have the voicemail tab and I couldn't figure out how to get it to show up.

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.
So I got the Note. I rooted and have a kernel and ROM. But when I switched to Go Launcher I lost my voicemail shortcut. I would like the voicemail icon that shows a number popup on it showing you have a new voicemail, and would like to have the voicemail that downloads to your phone and you just play the message by clicking which voicemail you want to hear without actually dialing your voicemail. I had this on my Epic Touch.

If you have an online account with AT&T you can use the Message or also know as "AT&T Messages."
Alternatively you can try and download this app from GSLEON3 in the vivid section. This might work for visual voicemail
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=862179&d=1326917503
Or you can use Google Voice, YouMail, etc.
Also there are numerous threads about visual voicemail already with this same exact questions and fixes. Please use the search next time before creating a new thread.

I'm in the same boat. I never even looked at the Note before root and GoLauncher, so I don't know what the app/widget looked like. The fact that it has visual voicemail, and some sort of indicator, I presume it is a widget. I can't find it though...
I presume AT&T Messages from the Market is not the same thing as the one that is one the phone?
I also searched through all fo the apps on the phone and only see AT&T Messages.
Edit: Nevermind the above--the Note is not bundled with VVM. Do not install the AT&T Messages--someone reported that it removes your VVM provision. Instead, go to this thread and install the .apk. I just did and it's all good...
Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1503270
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!
Anyone know how to disable and/or uninstall stock voicemail? I want to use Google Voice but can't seem to set it up.
You may need to go on a pc and set it up from there. I used to use Google voice but switched back a while ago so I'm not sure. Download and install the app and check the settings but I think you may have to enable it from the actual Google voice website.
I had trouble with Google Voice, but YouMail works like a champ for me.

Usually there is a voicemail setting in the phone >settings page. From there you assign a voicemail phone number to dial aka your google voice number. Some phones have this in the dialer app or similar settings. It sucks if it's missing since the voicemail button in the dialer won't work and wont allow itself to be modified most of the time. If those settings are missing like they are in the GS5 (im buying a g3 today) then you will have to disable Sprint voicemail and use the phone to setup call forwarding to your google voice number. The google voice app from the Play store will ask you to merge your gvoice number with your sprint number and pick either as the ONLY number. I don't do that part. It will ask you eventually to dial *__________ which is the call forwarding part. If it's integrated into the phone settings it doesn't ask that part usually. You can then call sprint and have them disable the voicemail for your g3's number.
You can also go to google.com/voice and add your number to GV. It will just give you instructions on setting up call forwarding and asking whether to use one number for both services. If you have that sprint phone number setup with another gv account it will be switched to the new one. A real number can only be linked to one GV phone number at a time.

Is Google Voice set up as integrated with your Sprint account? or are you using it as a separate service?
I to had issues with Google voice and it actually sent me a message stating that is was disabled. I went back and set everything up again, but then when I received a voice message it went to Sprint VM. I like Google voice, but I think I will just stick with the Sprint VM for now. You do need to go into your Google web page and set it up from there. I did change plans so that is why it went to the Sprint VM instead of using Google voice.
Hello,
Throughout the years I was occasionally trying to get the native Samsung voicemail app to working with T-Mobile on U1 devices.
After my latest attempts I understood that the app's functionality and visibility at first place are determined by CSC code of the device. If I change CSC from TMB to XAA - the voicemail app appears in app drawer, but thinks that I have Google Fi service.
Question is - is there any chance that the app's logic can be modified to make it work properly on TMB csc code?
I just really hate the T-Mobile\Metro voicemail apps due to their bugs and overall clunkiness.
Attached is the VVM app by Samsung. I did try to check accessible '"activities" of the app through app manager, but it seems like they are not quite accessible although they have fancy names like "TMOSetupActivity".
Hello, any news about this please?
I tried your apk, like you I can't start app or see mvv on native dialer.
Thanks for this. I use google fi and didn't have visual voice mail. Now I do thanks to your app. The visual voice mail app now shows up and picks up voice mails and even shows the text version of them and I can play them directly on the phone without having to call myself or rely on Fi sending me text messages of the voice mails.
Note that this didn't do anything with the phone dialer though. Neither the stock or google dialer. So there's no quick link or tab to get to visual voice mail from there.
Bump, would like to use stock visual voicemail as well
