For some reason, even though I have gone through all the settings, I cannot get the thing to announce who is calling. I do have that option selected. The only thing it could be is the choice of speaker?
I have had this running on both my previous devices with no problems and like the voice telling me who is actually calling.
Any thoughts would be great.
From the Microsoft VC page :
Incoming caller ID announcements will be spoken via the phone speaker on devices with a Windows Mobile build prior to 15097.3.0.0. To check which build is on your device, go to settings >about or start >controlpanel >about. If your build number is lower that 15097.3.0.0, this will be true for your device

You said you've gone through all the settings, but for completeness, this solved it for me.
Settings > Voice Command > Phone > Options
Check off "Announce Incoming Calls"
This is turned off by default.
Still no joy.
I will try all the different speaker settings now, just to make sure a third time.
Thanks

No, the annoncement is not available for your device .
I not sure this will help, first disable voice command and replace the file voiceCommand_PPC.dll to windows floder. You need to show all hidden folder first. Then copy another 3 files to voice command folder under Program Files floder. Do a soft reset then enable voice command and chose announce incoming call. This should fix the problems......cheer
Sorry, forget to name another 3 files Voicecmd.exe, VoiceCmdRes_PPC.dll and VoiceCommandWMP.dll. It's work for me.enjoy
Cheers, I will give this a try tonight.
T Mobile Apps
I can't get any of them to work with the new plan which is a bummer cause I love visual voicemail. I can't get the my account app to recognize device. Hope they fix this soon!
Edit: You guys are right Google Voice is way better and transcribes the voice mails which is hella cool!
Try setting it up with WiFi off.
use the google voice voicemail its built in. its much better and it gives you a transcript of messages(it writes it out)

Are you sure it is asking you to "upgrade" and no "setup"? I had to call TMo and have them 'flip the switch', so to speak, on VVM.

I'll try giving them a call, just wasn't sure if it was compatible with the plan out right now or not.
try this
o enable the visual voicemail on T-Mobile, you need to do the following:
* Download the app and install it
* Call T-Mobile
* The rep can't add it automatically via the account features list -- it will error out
* The rep has to first manually update your IMEI number (of which you need to read from the back of your box)
* Then the rep has to wait for that to update (took several minutes)
* Then the rep has to go back to the features list and then add visual voicemail manually
* Try changing your phone from Unknown Device to MyTouch 3G at my.t-mobile.com and add the Visual Voicemail under Services
* If your voicemail is still being delivered the traditional way wait until you receive a text from T-Mobile (about 24 hours) stating that your account change has been updated, it will then work via the application

question about Google Voice
I just set up google Voice.
How do Is top it from routing duplicate incoming texts to both my regular message app, and google Voice
Go into your default messaging service and access the settings in the menu. Disable notifications, and you should only get notifications from Voice.
Errr... not sure if this is exactly what you were asking. You are getting texts from your google voice number on your normal phone number?

What's happening, is that all of my Google voice texts are also showing up in my regular message app. Because they're also beig sent to my regular mobile number
Sounds like something that is an issue with google voice. Probably should check the settings on that. Almost seems like there is a forwarding issue going on.
I figured it out here:

Not sure if this was already posted, but no more relying on SMS for syncing!!!
Until I can see confirmation that this is effective and is not going to drain my battery, I'm staying put with the workaround which works great and works in seconds.
I have not used Google Voice a ton, but the new version seems to be tons slower at notifications. Today they took about about an hour to come.
Hell yeah! :d:d:d
anyone notice that when you call out use GV, it still displays your regular cell phone number rather than your GV number to the person you call. is there a way to fix this?

if you got the GV app and you're using it "for all calls" it should display your gv number...
PS the delay is about AT MOST 1-2 minutes on my hero... (side by side with internet inbox i mean) still better than AT LEAST 5minutes

Running on a 1.5 ROM (TTG), the notifications in the new version do in fact work properly, and instantly. Woohoo, finally! In fact, while I was cleaning up old 'unread' messages via my PC, my phone was going 'ding' every time I deleted one and the 'new message' notification count changed.

When you are activating the feature on Google, as per instructions here at https://www.google.com/voice/sprint I believe they actually show you the code, *28XXXXXXXXXX, to punch in. Looking around now, I had to search a bit to find it, as I couldn't remember from doing it myself. Anyways, that is it, *28[Your GV Number], and then *38 if you ever want to turn it off.
I was using the SMS workaround. Just disabled SMS to my phone and left a test message.
I received notification on my phone within a minute.
Now, does it drain the battery? I wouldn't think it would as it is push and not a pull.
Oh, and the LED works.

*28 and *38 don't work for me, but the following do:
Call Forwarding - Unconditional = *72(number), *720 to turn off
Call Forwarding - No Answer = *73(number), *730 to turn off
Call Forwarding - Busy = *74(number), *740 to turn off

Fair enough. All the same, *28 is the official code for covering both conditions that normally required *73 and *74. It worked fine for me, and is well documented. Not sure why it wouldn't work for others, but I am no telco expert.
Also, for anyone who was wondering, yes they still charge for *72 (unconditional).

*28 also works for call forward - busy? For those using *28, how does this work/get along with call waiting?

First question: Yes, it does. I dug around a bit for come clarification and found this.
See comment from that article:
One is for CFB, the other for CFNA. *28 does both CFB and CFNA in one shot.

Second question: Not sure how *28 has affected call waiting specifically, but I can tell you that I hate trying to answer a second call in general since I started using GV. It's been a while since I bothered to try, in fact. I remember a few times pressing 'Answer' only to then have a GV voice prompt ask if I wanted to answer the second call or 'add it' to the existing call, and by the time it asks, the 2nd caller is gone and I am lucky to get back to the first. I got frustrated and stopped answering second incoming calls as there is rarely anyone I want to talk to that badly (including clients).
I doubt that my call waiting rant is helpful, but I had to get it off my chest. Whew!

Thanks for the info. I use call waiting a good bit. I often put my kids on hold when a business call comes in, so I'll stick with *73, but just for grins I'm gonna call Sprint and complain that my *28 isn't working.
Does anyone know if it is possible to have two different voicemail messages based on the number the other person dials? I know I can set up different messages for different groups, but I want one message for people who dial my cell # and one message for people who dial my GV#.
[HOW TO] Get Google Voicemail working on CM10 ROMS (An Alternative to the AT&T VVM)
Hi guys. So I cant get the AT&T's visual voicemail to work on the CM10 ROMs due to the way audio files are saved and played (still not sure).
I tried to set up Google Voice and when setting up the application after install, I STILL could not get the voicemail forwarding to the Google Voicemail to work.
HOWEVER! I finally got it to work... Thank you useless AT&T customer service.
The problem was that google voice app tries to set your voicemail on the phone app-->press phone settings--> voicemail.
HERE's THE FIX!
Go to phone app --> "press menu" --> "press phone settings" --> press call forwarding
NOW! In call fowarding settings change the numbers of the following to your google number (make sure to insert +1):
a) forward when busy
b) forward when unanswered
b) forward when unreachable
Thank is appreciated!
Last time I was on CM10 and AOKP, it was as simple as setting it up as changing the Voicemail settings.

This finally worked, however not the first time, I had to get a new google voice number and I DID NOT "activate google voicemail on this phone" in the settings. When I pressed the "activate google voicemail" I was getting error messages when I would try and test it.
This is working atleast for me after days of trying.

Got Visual Voicemail to work
Hi all, I actually had the SKY ICS rom installed and I backed up the app and data using rom toolbox and it worked.
Interesting, I'll check those settings.
However, I've never gotten the Google Voice app to set up voicemail correctly even on stock ROMs. The solution has been to leave it set to "carrier" and then follow the instructions on the Google Voice WEBSITE.
The instructions are carrier specific, so for AT&T:
Open the phone app.
Enter the following exactly as written, as if you are dialing someone:
*004*15559991234# (with "5559991234" being your GV number.)
Press "Send" or "Call" on your phone to dial that number. When you see the confirmation message on your phone, you are done!
This changes the forwarding settings on the Carrier's end.
AT&T VVM never worked on CM9 for me but on CM10, I've had zero problems even when everything else is FUBAR.

I tried all the tricks google said and att said to do. this is the only way for me to have google voice as my voice mail.
I've noticed when setting up Google voice with its built-in setup, you have to switch the tick in voicemail settings to Google voice, then hit the back button til you get back to Google voice app, DO NOT press the configure button in voicemail settings, you must back up til the screen swaps back to Google voice, then it will automatically start the configuration process, and setup is complete. Let me know if this works for you (it took me a while to find it out, found it on some random thread somewhere)

I tried this, but I kept getting error. The in app setup of the voice mail will not work unless you're really lucky. What my method does is that it changes the fowarding number in the SIM I believe. That's why now, if you flash new ROM on top of the previous, the fowarding number will still remain. I found my method to work every single time.
Thanks for your suggestion and input man!

And given.
FWIW:
OK this an ATT thread, but this fix works on T-Mobile as well. In fact, it should work on any CM10 phone, because all it's doing is setting the same things that Voice would be doing were it not wonky.
I'm pretty sure your carrier can manually set these numbers on their end, too. But as I just found out tonight, you'll have a hell of a time getting Tier 1 tech support to even understand the most basic premise involved. However, I have, in the last year, had TMO successfully set this number as the transfer/voicemail default.
Also, and correct me if I'm wrong, I thought there was a USSD code you could enter from the keypad that would set this transfer number, too.
I cant seem to get my google voice to setup right on this phone. If anyone has successfully done this please let me know how you did it. Second problem is Im using the stock messaging app and every time I receive a text my phone screen turns on, is there a way to disable this feature?

I'm using GV. I had issues trying to get it to work at first. I tried a few things to get it working. First I just changed the section in call forwarding to my GV number. Seemed to work ok. But if I remember correctly To get it actually working I had to go to my google voice account on computer and go to settings. Then select deactivate google voice on this phone. It then gave me the code to type into my phone. Then I went back and hit activate my google voice number. Again it gave me the code to enter on my phone. After that I just went through install and setup for GV app on my phone.
The deactivating and the re-activating did the trick.

Awesome! Glad you got it working.
Or, if you switched carriers (and opted for a new number) like me, you can just disable the old number. I forgot to deactivate the old number before shutting off service to the phone.
