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

if you're on a 2.1 rom GV doesn't work properly for making calls but i found this app in the market called gvoice callback that does the trick

works for me on DC v1
Can anyone confirm the new versions notifications does work correctly????
Does anyone know how to set Hero 2.1 to have to auto forward to GV so I can use that for my voicemail instead of Sprint? In fact does anyone know where the call forwarding is?

For Call Forward - No Answer, dial *73(your GV number)

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#.
Every time i receive a call after i answer i get a message saying to accept this call please press one
how do i turn this off

Your Google voice settings on the Google voice website
You have converted your Sprint number to a Google Voice number. There are pros and cons to this. What you are hearing is the call screening option. To turn off call screening, go to [desktop] https://www.google.com/voice?ui=desktop#callsettings or [mobile] https://www.google.com/voice/m/generalsettings .

When I receive a call, it rings for about half a second and I can't answer it. It goes to my GV voicemail. I can't answer the call.
I thought, man if GV is this buggy I'm going to just use the T-Mo voicemail service. So in Call Settings I switched back to my carrier. But still, when I call my phone, it rings for half a second, then goes to GV voicemail. WTF.
So I went to GV settings and found my forwarding phone in the Phones tab and I clicked on "Deactivate GV on my phone." It said I had to go to my phone and type ##004#. So I did that and nothing happened. Still same problems.
This is really annoying because a) I can't answer my calls, b) I don't get any missed call notifications.
Can anyone help me?

I turned off call screening and I get my calls now. But my missed call notifications are coming from Google Voice. WTF.
Also I have my voicemail set back to My Carrier still and if I call myself I get GV Voicemail.
Shot in the dark..but do you have "Do not disturb" enabled in the Google Voice app or on the website? If so, disable it.

Nope. I turned off Call Screening and I finally started getting calls. BUT WHY CANT I DISABLE GOOGLE VOICE COMPLETELY!?!?!?
Have you tried logging in Google vice on computer and change settings to dis associate the number sign to that particular email account
Yeah, dude. It's in the OP.

So let's say I have a GV number and a mobile number. And I turn on Call Screening. Why would it screen calls to my mobile number???

Even if I had DND enabled.... Why would it block calls TO MY MOBILE NUMBER?
All I want GV to do with my mobile number is forward calls from my GV number.
Easy answer. Your sprint number takes over your google voice number.
Check out here how to fix that

Well that would make more sense if I wasn't on T-Mobile!
Have you tried to change your settings via the web. Going to your Google voice account and change your voicemail options. Although it sounds like you need to change your cm forwarding on your phone. Go to T-Mobiles site for instructions or call T-Mobile.

I did a search but cant seem to find how to activate Google Voice on my VZW GS3. Im trying to set it up but it says that VZW doesnt support this feature. So I followed the GV support page where it says to dial codes to activate, and one of them takes me to VZW where it says I cant do it. Yet I see people on here using GV. Am I doing something wrong? I am running CleanROM 2.5. Thanks for any help in advance.
Edit: Still have been trying to figure it out and neither of my VM are working now, Stock VZW not GVoice....

I'm just using Google Voice Lite, but on my previous phone I had to setup forwarding at VZW for unanswered calls to go to the GV voicemail. When I got this phone, it just worked after I downloaded the GV app.

Hi,
This is pretty simple. Just log into gvoice in your browser (http://www.google.com/voice) and go settings. Under phone where you setup your number to be forwarded, should show use this as your main voice mail. Follow its steps.

I can access the vm from my phone as if I were checking it. But when someone calls me it say the call couldnt be completed as dialed when it time for vm to come up.
Your wanting Gvoice to be your VM or VZW to be your VM?

Gvoice, but I would like it to be easy to switch back if I wanted to. Right now neither VM is picking up if I ignore a call. I can call my gvoice number and it will work, but when someone calls nothing is working.
You called the number gvoice tells you to dial to make gvoice your default VM?
Will not work unless you do so.
*71(your gvoice #)
if you did this already, deactivate it *73 and try it over again. *71(your gvoice #)
That is what you have to do to switch between them.

Yes ive done this, It didnt work... I get "Welcome to Verizon Wireless, you call could not be completed as dialed. Blah, blah, blah. Your verizon update could not be completed" when i do the *73
And when I do the *71 I get 3 short busy tones and it hangs up.
When someone calls me and I reject it, The incoming call hears "Your call could not be completed as dialed"
I think ive tried all the proper steps, but feel like im missing something. Please keep the suggestions coming, they are very appreciated
Does anyone have any other suggestions. Thabks again in advance

i've just done it 4 times back to back to see if it still worked on the s3 and it does.....just making sure (please don't make any assumptions about what i'm about to type up, it's just to make sure its being done lol) that when you input the # to dial, you include the asterisk before 71 and that you're using the full 10 digit phone number for your google voice number, like for me its *713379449734 to enable, then *73 to disable......it has worked across an incredible 2, droid 3, and now galaxy s3
Yes ive done it multiple times. Like i said when i do the *71 i get a quick busy signal then it hangs up. Ive been all over the place looking around and now neither vm's are working. I only wanted this for the visual vm aspect of it. I believe that its working. Im sure its me doing something wrong. I have setup it up and activated online, it shows my number and carrier, i can call out via pc, when i push and hold 1 it takes me to enter my pin. It just wont answer when there is an incoming call

Ok so I finally got it working. I deactivated then re-activated, but during the Re-activation it had me put in the *71 + a slightly different number than my GV number. But the voicemail aspect is working now. Im trying to figure out how to make calls through my GV number. when I enter google.com/voice on my phone it says we to to learn this number... Please verify using a desktop. Amd to add it. When I go to settings its already listed as a registered phone. Whats that about?
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

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.
