Can the default Google dialer visual voicemail be setup to view voicemails there, instead of in the Googe voice app? Just seeing if possible.
Side note: The Google dialer vvm isn't working with my TMobile. I've tried everything, I can see the tab but not working.
It does work w/ VVM. Don't know if it's provider specific but on GFi it works. So it should, in theory, be able to work w/ TMo. The GFi community has had issues w/ it working on rooted devices, but have found solutions. It may have something to do with Hangouts SMS integration.

It's been random in the one plus 6t group with who it is working for (I'm on a rooted one plus 6t)
Clearing phone app data and clearing PFi app data were always the fixes for the Fi people. You don't have the Fi app, but try clearing phone's data.

I'm running Peetr's Hybrid rom and noticed that It doesn't have a built in voicemail handling app. So if someone leaves me a voicemail I just get a really wierd text message instead. I was using PF voicemail for call forwarding and voicemail since I was having major service coverage issues and that will tell you missed calls no matter what. But I don't want to use that anymore since it's slow and I'm having problems with it. So my question is. What do I use for voicemail? Is there anything similar to that visual voicemail app that originally came with my phone? Free would be great but if it works I would shell out a couple bucks.
I'm wondering the same thing. I'm using the AOKP JB Rom (thx 3bill) and get multiple text messages for each voicemail. Personally, I loved the visual voicemail that came stock and I'm hoping there's a way to port it in. You can still check your voicemail though just by dialing yourself. BTW, how do you like that Rom as I haven't tried it yet but am loving the AOKP one?
Well this rom is about as good as it gets for me since I have a locked bootloader. But it is very nice compared to stock. I'm using Google voice right now for voice mail and it works pretty good so far. I just wish my texts didn't show up in it at all.

I use Google Voice. It's very configurable. When a voicemail comes in it can notify you by text, e-mail, etc. plus the standard functions you had with visual voicemail that came with the phone. The key is to go into Google Voice web site settings and prevent it from prescreening your calls and handling your texts.

Yep. I just found that out today. I was wondering why the hell it kept asking me to press numbers to answer my calls.

You can turn that off in settings. Not on the app, but on the website. It refers to feature as 'call screening'.
I've tried several times to switch from ATT voicemail service to GV and it fails, even after rooting (not sure that matters, but ).
It (GV) shows up as an option, but attempts to switch fail.
Anyone know of a solution?

I had to manually enter the codes into the handset. Not sure why it didn't work automatically, but it is easy to do manually. Just go to google voice in your browser then under settings there is an activate google voice on this phone link which gives you the correct things to dial in order to set it up.
I just made the switch to Google voicemail after I couldn't get AT&T's visual voicemail to work on the phone. Had to enter all the forwarding numbers manually as above.
In the GV app there is an option to integrate voicemail into the system dialer (View and play voicemails from the call log). That particular feature doesn't seem to be supported by the HTC dialer app, only by AOSP dialers. Does anyone know of a workaround or a way to get this integrated?

Can someone post a step by stop on how to switch google voice? I'm sure a bunch of users other than me would like a foolproof guide.
Which visual voicemail are you guys talking about? Have you tried this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018018
or are you talkin about the one that comes stock on the phone? This will work, you just have to call ATT and have them make sure Visual Voice mail is provisioned for your account. It is not there by default. THe stock ATT messages app (which has a crappy VVM) doesnt require additional provisions, but the VVM.apk above does. Here is another thread in the regular ATT HOX forum that has more info. I've tried both, and the VVM is way better than google voice. It's worth the time to call ATT, maybe more than once, to get VVM working. I ended up calling 3 times. Low level customer support does not have a clue..Once i got to a real tech, they had it done in 45 seconds. Hope this helps. Good luck!
All the emojis sent to me show up as question marks. I can see them on twitter. I have tried a couple of different methods. Can someone help me get them to show up? I'm running stock, rooted.

Do you have your phone connected to Google Voice? If so, that would be why it shows up as question marks in the Messaging app after you send/receive messages.
CM supports emoji out of the box, just flash cm 10.1 or any other rom cm based and it should be in the messaging settings, you can even use softbank encoding...
Tried go sms, and I tried both of those. I am going to try disabling google voice. Disabling google voice did not work either. I'm running meanbean now.
Is there a way to access visual voicemail for free? I understand that you can rout your voicemails through google voice and access them that way, but I was looking for something more innate within the rom without routing my voicemail. If not, what are others doing out there to get around paying for visual voicemail?
PS Im running JellyBeans ROM

Most people use google voice.
I don't think there are any replacements over VVM other than gv. I dont' know why you wouldn't use GV, since it has more robust functions than VVM does. it is easy to setup, too. took me like < 10 minutes.
I use youmail try it out

GVoice is the way to go.
There are a few other VVM apps on the market that have their own setup so you have to pay them for it instead of VZW. There are also quite a few that use "X" carriers service and their app is mainly just a different UI.

According to me, GV is the best VVM out there but still I have an experience with Youmail which was no that bad so I'd recommend you to tryout the YouMail... (You'll get back to GV, I know)
I've been using AT&T Messages for some time now, primarily because of the free voicemail->text transcription. For some reason, it is flagged in Google Play Store as incompatible with the HTC One (M8).
I sideloaded it (version 2.14.5.41 as of this writing) and it seems to work fine on the M8.

If not using a carrier branded rom it will flag the at&t apps as not compatable...or it just may not have been updated yet for the newest sense htc build

I guess I was unclear. I have an AT&T-branded M8 fully stock, and the Google Play Store shows my phone as incompatible with AT&T Messages. If I sideload it, it appears to work fine so I suspect that it just needs to be marked compatible in the store.

I've become more wary about downloading APKs of apps normally found in Google Play Store from other sources. If you have access to a rooted phone compatible with AT&T Messages, I recommend just copying the APK off of it.

AT&T Messages APK 2.15.2.54
I've attached the latest AT&T Messages APK for sideloading.
I think I finally realized why AT&T Messages is not whitelisted for the HTC One (M8); it looks like the included Messages app is customized to work with the Visual Voicemail offering, rather than AT&T Messages:

Does the AT&T Messages app still do text transcription of voicemail? I have an M7, and after I changed plans (switched from a legacy plan to Mobile Share plan) the AT&T Messages app stopped transcribing voicemails. I worked with Tech Support for months trying to get it working again, but nothing worked. I noticed the AT&T M8 comes pre-installed with an 'HTC Visual Voicemail' app that apparently offers voicemail text transcription. Was hoping this would have been included on the Sense 6.0 update for the M7 which just rolled out, but it wasn't. I'm literally thinking of upgrading to the M8 just to get ths HTC Visual Voicemail app. Can anyone confirm that the HTC Visual Voicemail M8 transcribes voicemail just like (or hopefully better than) the AT&T Messages app used to? If so, why would anyone with an M8 want to install AT&T Messages anymore?

I can't really compare to the regular at&t messages vs the new htc visual voicemail/messages all in one app - but I was pleasantly surprised to have this feature for free where as I used to have to pay sprint $2.99 a month. Having said that the transcriptions don't really do well - I'd say almost 50% of the words from all the VM's I've received have been improperly transcribed making it almost impossible to get the gist of what the caller was trying to say, so I have to listen to the VM anyway. Not sure if this is on par with what the original ATT messages app did or better or worse.
http://att.com/htcvvm
Based on this article, text transcription of voicemail is included at no additional charge, or at least on the HTC One (M8).
I believe voicemail transcription is/was $2.99/mo with AT&T Visual Voicemail on other devices, while it was a free feature of AT&T Messages.
It took a couple different techs, but I was finally able to get the AT&T Messages feature removed off of my account and HTC Visual Voicemail working on my M8. The test voicemails I've had so far seem to be transcribed at about the same accuracy as AT&T Messages.

AT&T Messages was still transcribing voicemail for me. I have now switched over to HTC Visual Voicemail, which seems to transcribe voicemail at least equally as well.
One possible benefit that AT&T Messages has over HTC Visual Voicemail is I think the former backed up your content to the cloud, because you could wipe your phone (or go to a new phone) and when you set up AT&T Messages, it would sync up everything. (Although not with 100% accuracy; some MMS messages would be lost, and some SMS messages are just restored as phone calls.) As far as I can tell, HTC Visual Voicemail is just a front-end for your voicemailbox, and SMS/MMS is stored locally. There is an option to Backup SMS (only) to SD card.
Anyone know how to get ATT Messages working with Wifi only?
I'm abroad right now and want to use this app for texting.
We can send and receive texts through a computer (messages.att.net) but on the Android app, you can't send or receive a text through Wifi.
It will not work via wifi,states this on AT&T website as well,it needs cellular signal to work properly
