I was using goolge voice for voicemail on my Samsung epic. But when I started using it for my nexus my sms messages go to Google voice. How do I stop the text messages and keep the voicemail? Currently I disabled Google voice.

Did you "integrate," migrate, port... whatever you wanna call it, your Sprint number over to Google Voice?
That's what I did, and while I liked the feature, I couldn't send or receive picture messages anymore.
I had to delete GV from my phone, sign up for a new GV account/ number, and then start all over from the beginning when I did this.
I clicked the update me link on the GV website to enable picture/ MMS in GV texting, for further updates to see if it becomes available. If in the future they give us the ability to send/ receive MMS/ picture messages through GV, I'll be going back. Until now, I'll stick with it just for voicemail usage.
All I've done to fix this is to log in to Google Voice on my computer and disable the "integration" with my cell phone number. This has done the trick for me many times when I change ROMs. I see that you already disabled the service, so I'm not sure why you would still be getting your text messages sent to GV.
Jerbech Is correct ..same thing I did

Yeah I have it disabled. But I am no longer getting voicemail. So I would like to stop the SMS messages but still be able to get voicemail.

Its one of the options on the computer, turn off SMS sent to phone option. Hope that's what you meant.
There a few guides here in the Nexus S forums on how to disable Google Voice for calls and texts while still getting VM through GV. Look around and you will find it. If I remember right you go to voice.google.com click on the gear in upper right hand corner of page and choos voice settings. Unport your Sprint # and get a new or use your already existing GV #. Then down by your Mobile number on the settings page click where it says activate google voicemail on this phone and follow instructions. Then change settings on your phone from My Carrier to Google Voice under voicemail and you should be good to go.
Just got my Play today. White international version.
Im having terrible luck with google voice. I can't get to forward my calls through voice. I can't set it to receive texts through voice only. All I can do is revives calls when people call me. This is a bad issue. Does anyone else have any luck with Google voice? This could factor into a speedy return

"I can't get to forward my calls through voice." I'm not sure what you mean. You can't get it to take incoming calls to your Google Voice number and forward to your native number or you can't get it to take incoming calls top your native number and forward to Google Voice for voicemail? Mine pops up a dialog saying that it failed to forward native calls to GV voicemail but it actually works. Even if it didn't there's still a code I can dial in to do the same thing. Some carriers do not support it though. My boss could not use GV to forward his MetroPCS voicemail to. If you are saying that you want calls made to your native number to ring your GV number, that would not be a feature of GV. That would require you to set up forwarding through your carrier.
"I can't set it to receive texts through voice only." Uhh, it can't block texts sent to your native number. Block texting with your provider and tell people to forget your old non-GV number, then use the GV app to receive texts (setting it to also receive via native Messaging app will forward them to your mobile number as regular billable text messages despite the wording of the option). Forwarding native texts to GV is also something your carrier would have to do unless you could find some app to do it. It's not a GV function.
I should have been a bit more clear. Was in a flurry last night.
I've got most of it fixed. I ported my phone number to voice when I changed carriers. So everyone still calls that, then voice routes the call to any phone you want. When I call out from my Nexus, it goes through Google voice and on the other persons end it shows my Voice number instead of my "real" phone number.
My Xperia recieves calls fine now, but I cant get it to call out through Google voice. So people are seeing my "real" number instead of my voice number.
First world problems.

In the options for th GV app I set it to use GV for all outgoing calls. If I have a poor signal or weak WiFi, it causes it to hang on some intermediary screen before the dialer pops up so it is using Internet data for that step. If you can't enable the option, I'd check your cellular data settings.
Oh yeah. Ive got that set up. Been using voice for over a year now. Play just doesn't seem to like it as much.
In a completely unrelated note, this phone has amazing battery life

The only issue I have on my PLAY is the error saying that I can't enable voicemail forwarding even though it does enable it and forward just fine (the setting still shows that my carrier is handling VM). Even then, I think it's a problem with AT&T still having something configured wrong from my iPhone plan with VVM. Also, my battery would die in 8 hours of leaving the device locked on the stock AT&T ROM but, luckily, you never had to deal with that.
Got it all figured out.
Rooted the phone and removed a bunch of bloat. Phone is amazing now! I love you XDA.
Ok so Im not trying to change the subject, but does anyone get googles video chat to work without huge lag? I bought my girlfriend a Xperia play right after I got mines & installed video talk (via Video Talk Installer) & also the GTalkEnabler (to enable "Talk" over mobile data) & attempted both video & voice chat. My voice chat worked well over wifi & mobile, but the video chat was almost impossible due to lag on AT&Ts HSPA/Almost kinda 4g & not much better on wifi. With both XPlay's on wifi the video jumped frames and had green or pink pixel boxes & voice was lagged over 5 seconds. This makes the front cam & video chat useless. Whats the deal with this??
Hi all,
Have any fellow Sprint users figured out how to get voicemail to work properly on this phone? I can dial 1 to check it if course, but I don't get any kind of notification when someone leaves a voicemail for me. I'm also getting those annoying 9016 and 8737 texts all the time. I tried pulling the Sprint Voicemail APK from my GS4 and pushing it to the system/app folder on my N5, but it still doesn't give me any notifications.
Anyway, does someone have a fix for this? I'd prefer not to call Sprint if I don't have to. Thanks!
Im on Sprint, and I don't have this issue. What ROM are you running? I used to get those annoying 9016 texts, two phones ago, when I ran aosp Roms on my old evo
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Unfortunately, i haven't seen any progress on the sprint voice mail app. You can either integrate your sprint number with Google voice to handle all voice mails or
If you want to keep separate numbers, forward missed and busy calls to your Google voice number (*28 Google number) and set Google voice to "do not disturb" so it goes straight to voice mail.

I'm just running the stock rom. Do you get notifications when you have a voicemail? The texts are annoying, but my main concern is being notified when I have a message.
So far I have.

There are a few few threads about this. None have any resolution aside from use GV.
I cannot use GV and I do (did) get the 9016 without any other notifications. I now use PF Voicemail+. It's pretty close the Sprint VVM app we're used to. It took a little bit to set up but it seems to work. I now get push notifications and email when I get voicemail.
Still wish Sprint would allow the N5 on the VVM service.
I have the N5 on Sprint and after posting on their forms I can tell you that I don't think Sprint is going to give us a Stand Alone VMM app. I have installed Google Voice on 2 different N5's with Sprint and set it up to handle just the Voicemail and it works perfect on both phones. I have seen other threads with people getting the 9016 text. Before I set up Google Voice, whenever someone left me a Voicemail I got the notification to call, but never the 9016 so I don't have any advice for you there.
Hello Everyone,
Since everyone is so hyped about the new Voice integration with hangouts and more specifically, we finally have the ability to make outgoing call without using 3rd party programs, still no MMS with the google voice number but the outgoing calling alone is awesome.
Anyway, since this is XDA and the new functionality gives XDA's plenty of money saving ideas I'm certain of that, here goes.
HANGOUTS & GOOGLE VOICE = 1.6 MB PER HOUR OF CALLING
DISCLAIMER
That is an amazingly low amount of data! I ran this test making a 3 minutes phone using my nexus 5 on LTE. It's by far not a scientific test but a very good estimate of how much data you can save making calls with GOOGLE VOICE THRU HANGOUTS. I'm sure you 30$ a month 5GB t-mobile people can put this to good use, I know I will! (Goodbye stupid deadzones in Brooklyn College ) Finally us Nexus 5 owners have a more legitimate way of making WiFi calls since T-mobile ditched us on that one. I'm plenty excited about all of this! What do you guys think? How will you be using the new outgoing calls feature?
LASTLY
The updated hangouts apk is below in case you didn't get the update yet like me. enjoy!
I am so anxious for this integration. I've already got the new apk and dialer installed, now I keep checking Hangouts for the popup to integrate SMS and voicemail from GV into hangouts. Wish there was a way to force it like the search for OK Google Everywhere.

Same, although my rom still has CM Voice+ and it's still handling the integration quite well. I currently use Groove Forwarder from the play store to switch my GV forwarding based on location. I'm very curious if it will still be functional once I'm integrated, as currently, I don't see any options in the new Hangouts app to determine what number rings. If it stays this way, I'll end up getting double rings (dialer & Hangouts) when someone calls my GV number.

I have the same double ring problem. I'd like to see an option to only accept/make Hangouts calls over wifi because I use Llama to disable the cell radio when on wifi at home (because the cell signal is very poor and it drains my battery very fast and also because I have a Ting "metered" plan and trying to keep usage as low as possible -- basically on cell only when away from home, wifi otherwise). I currently use the older version of GrooveIP, but was hoping to be able to move to Hangouts.

Me too, I keep thinking that maybe I did something wrong and I'm being left out, but Google's just rolling the server-side changes out slowly, I've read. Such anxiety
This actually works for every Android device that can use hangouts/google voice too. Right now I have it on my Galaxy Player, and it works great. I'm glad that Google finally integrated google voice, because it makes things a lot easier lol. I'm surprised that this isn't getting a lot of news.
We still need the GV app to send texts, right? Or am I missing something and it's possible to text using your GV number from the Hangouts app?

I'm checking on it right now, but it seems that you don't need the GV app anymore. You should be able to text using your GV number in hangouts. I'm setting mine up right now.
Here's the topic that google created to set up GV with Hangouts. I ran into a problem where I had to disconnect hangouts in gmail, and then reconnect it to see the Google Voice option in the settings.

By disconnect do you mean sign or and then sign back in?
OK, more help needed: how do I switch the number and SMS is sent from when starting a new conversation? I like the "smart reply" option, but sometimes I want to send from the GV number, other times from my cell number (in particular for MMS).

Nope also to answer your Google voice question further when trying to access or send message you get this screen. However, I had to unchecked merge messages to even get it to send with hangouts lol.

Hey has anyone had the issue where hangout calls connects, but you get can't hear anything. Basically only one end of the line gets sound for some reason. each time i had to hang up and try again.
I haven't on the 2 test calls I made. Any suspicions as to why its happening?
Whats your OS or ROM, Phone, Network, what was your coverage like. Wifi or mobile network.

Not working for me, still using cell minutes when making calls
?
Edit: I think I figured it out, if I use the phone dialer it asks if I want to use Google voice, it uses minutes, if I skip it and use the hangouts dialer no minutes. So do I need GV installed at all?
Don't need Voicemail on GV, I can use T-Mobile Visual Voicemail.
in order to receive wifi calls there is box to check in settings plus
in google voice settings [web page] I had to stop google from forwarding my google # to my phone [uncheck nexus 5]
this keeps google from forwarding the call twice and keeps the native dialer blocking the hangouts dialer
I'm on wifi 95% of the time so this should lower my $12 Ting bill to $9 on a normal month.

YAY I get to dust off my XDA account and make a post.
So I got my t-mobile S8+ SM-G955u yesterday. I use Google voice for visual voicemail and so on. Setting up the app should be straight forward as usual but calls are not forwarded to Google Voice. They go to the default T-Mobile voicemail.
Looking a little deeper I noticed in the phone app the voicemail settings is grayed out. Service provider simply has the one option "voicemail" . Odd
So I call T-Mobile and they tell me it's a Samsung issue that I don't have access to the voicemail settings. Samsung support says it's T-Mobile whom must unlock this option. WTF?
I suppose the question I have here is. Anyone else have a T-Mobile variant with the same issue? Is this a Gvoice problem or did T-mobile really lock this down to force users to use the T-Mobile visual voicemail app?
Cheers
Noticed the same thing but when my Google voice app is installed it's still getting the voicemails and alerting me
I can't even find the voicemail setting!? Where is it?
In the "phone" app click the menu button in the top right (three dots). Then select settings. Scrollall the way down. There is a catagory listed as "voicemail" . Directly under the catagory label there are some options. Service provider is click able but only one option available. Under that Voicemail Settings are grayed out.
Still can't get Google voice to work. Sucks I like the free visual voice mail.

ah... Was looking in the settings. I don't even see google voice as an option. It's not greyed out for me, but the only vmail service provider is "my carrier". I do have google voice installed...
Weird! Same with me, but the voicemails are definitely going to google voice and delivered via hangouts (WHICH I ALWAYS HAVE TO FORCE CLOSE AND REOPEN ANY TIME I WANT TO LISTEN TO A VOICEMAIL. DRIVES ME INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Edit: I got a dup notification in google voice app... I guess I'll see if I can disable hangouts for voicemail and just use the refreshed voice app and hangouts for texting, at least until they axe google voice in hangouts. I want them to switch google voice to allo anyway, much more lightweight.
Edit 2: Looks like there is no way to block voicemail in hangouts and only get it in voice app... if anyone knows a way, please share?

check your settings on google voices webpage. I have GV installed, no option in the phone dialer to config it but I only get voicemail notifications from the GV app.
I figured it out
me Level 1
I figured it out. No option on the s8 to change from carriers voicemail, so go to call forwarding, enter your google phone number under if no answer and if busy. Hurray.

Call settings, more settings, then call forwarding.
If you don't know your google voice phone number log in on a computer and you will see it.
When I opened my GV application after downloading it from the Play store it prompted me if I wanted to use it for V/M, I never had to do anything to activate it in the dialer settings like I did in the past. My service is with AT&T but I don't think that would matter.
This setting is not on Sprint devices . So far I cannot get GV to work for voicemails. Mine worked the other day by doing the *28 for forwarding and broke but now tells me that feature code is not valid.

If you are on Sprint, try using *73. *28 didn't work for me, but I was able to type *73(Google voice number with area code - example *735152445611) to forward my missed calls to my google voice number. My Google voice is now working.
