I had Google voice on my fascinate and loved it. I tried to set it up on the charge and I get a message that says my network does not support Google voice. Is there a workaround? I sure do hope so. Thanks in advance!

I think you need to read the message again -- assuming you're seeing the same message as the rest of us, what it actually says is "Unfortunately your network carrier is currently not supported for automatic voicemail configuration," not "Your network does not support Google Voice."
In other words, all that message means is that it can't automatically program your voicemail -- but you presumably have already that done since you're coming from the Fascinate. That's why there's a "Skip" button on that step. Skip it, as assuming you're using the same phone number as on the Fascinate, it's irrelevant for you.
(Unintentional double post apparently, oops)
Try to set it up through 3G/4G, not wifi.

Oops....sent before i was done. You are correct, the second quote is what was coming up. Sorry for that presumption.

I tried to skip......
Then when I go to access my voicemail I still get that same message. Sigh......

So even once you skip that and go all the way through the set-up screens, you're saying that whenever you run the Voice app the same screen comes back up?
you have to activate the google voice since Verizon wont do it automatically...look at the google voice help but I think its #73 on the dialer..send...should here it click and hang up..its done
Ha! My thread should help. Look in the roll up sticky

Just thought this would be a good idea for all of us having voicemail problems.
Post solutions and comments on developing a fix here instead of clogging up the cyanogen thread.
PS the spiicytuna method posted on page one of cyanogen does nothing to fix the 9016 issue.

Call the number included in the text you get. It will ask you if you have a sms voivemail phone or smth. Press one for no, and you stop getting the texts.

Tried that. You get a new text telling you to call a certain number to retrieve your voice mail.
Blacklist the number?
One way around it
Well. It seems you can go to Sprint and block the text message at the source. Just log into your account and add them to your block list.
Will have a voice mail sent to me and see if it works. I've read in other forums that it can take a month to work.
-JZ
Update: Blocking 9016 did NOT work. My VVM updates, but I still get the annoying texts.
Any suggestions?
im not sure what that 9016 issue is but i do have a voicemail notification issue so i will speak of that
the sms you receve can be avoided while messing with ur settings in google voice online... when u click edit on ur mobile number there are options to uncheck sms notifications as well as transcriptions.. mess with ur settings and that fixes that issue, now onto the annoying one...
the way that i have figured out how to temporarly remove the icon is to flash whatever the latest nightly build is using rom manager and the use the option to wipe and adding the google apps, i then wait for my phone to reboot and let rom manager do its thang then as soon as i put in all my gmail information i wait till the menu starts to pop up then quickly press menu, call settings, voicemail number then change that *86 to my 10 digit phone number then press okay then i quickly change my carrier to google voice then go through all of those settings quickly till i click finish then press okay even though i may get that error that says something like my carrier doesnt support google voice or whatever it is then i go back to the carrier option and even though google voice is already selected i click google voice again and it tells me that my number has changed... no more voicemail notification UNTIL i reboot my phone, so any new fix that maybe come out involving any other issue i choose to ignore if it means that i have to reboot my phone... also a good thing to know is once u have success of finally getting rid of the icon whenever a new build is released just install it using rom manager once again but this time DO NOT select the wipe option and rom manager will install the latest build without the voicemail icon and all ur settings will be good to go right after the install however the same rules still apply, one u reboot it will come back, so after installing the latest build just dont wipe and dont reboot after all is said and done...
even though some tard thinks me mentioning *86 as the issue is me "wasting bandwidth" i feel that that is where the issue is.. this is the only rom that i have to change the carrier settings right off the bat instead of defaulting to our sprint voicemail... im not saying im *****ing about the issue in any way but this is an issue ive been having so i thought i would mention that...
now onto things ive tried that never worked....
ive tried just keeping my sprint number as the default but that never works, my only solution has been changing to google voice quickly...
ive called myself exactly 10 times and left myself voicemail messages, then after installing the latest nightly ive change to my voicemail number to sprints and deleted all 10 msgs and that did nothing...
ive gone into the application settings and deleted the phone data cache then quickly change to google voice without success, even after changing the settings i quickly pulled my battery and then started my phone so that it would default to googlevoice and still nothing...
since rom manager has worked for me as a temp fix ive tried doing all the same stuff using ar recovery doing all wipes and whatever else is possible without success, rom manager is the only one that works for me so i just stick to that...
and for those that say the google voice is too hard to setup its really not, just quit being lazy and do ur initial setup through google.com/voice and get urself a number and play with ur settings in there and when ur done with that then start the tutorial up top
i never had this issue until went from a cm6 nightly to zenfx2.2 to update my prl then I nandroided back and now i get these texts every 5 min
I think you guys should think of using Google Voice... Unless I am misunderstanding something, this is a Sprint VVM problem right?

Problem with google voice is that it sometimes disconnects for no reason. I was using it and had to change because it kept dropping me and people would tell me my voicemail did not work.
I'd be cool with G-Voice if it did not do this.

This is just an educated guess and not a statement of fact, but having run the Fresh ROM in the past, it sounds like at some point you flashed your phone with the Fresh ROM, and then maybe flashed back to CM6 but forgot to wipe everything?
When the Fresh ROM boots up, it does indeed say, "Fresh!", so if you're stuck in a boot loop with that ROM's data, you could hear "Fresh!" repeatedly and your phone not start up.
I would go to recovery, do the full factory reset wipe, wipe cache, dalvik cache, and then do your nand-restore or reflash of CM6, google apps, etc.
I hope that this helps.
Thank you for your time,
I would try to just wipe the dalvik and cache first and only do a factory reset if that doesn't work.

I may try it again, as I did not mind G-Voice. But it had happened a few different times. Now I admit I have not tried it since I went to RC2 and the 8/24 nightly.
I'll try setting it up again and see what happens.
I don't know if anyone else is having a similar problem but PLEASE help!! I've looked all over the internet and XDA and, as far as I can see, I can't find a similar problem. I have an EVO 4G
I recently downloaded and installed the new Cyanogen 7 Stable (From CM6) and suddenly my voice mail doesn't work normally. Every time someone calls me, after the normal 4-5 rings or w/e, instead of the usual "please leave a message" message, a computer says "please enter the subscriber number, followed by the pound(#) sign".
I've never heard that before and I just figured out that anybody leaving a message has to put my phone number in 'again', to be able to leave a message. I don't think a lot of my older customers will understand how to leave a message.
I've been using 'Phone Fusion Visual Voice mail' if that could have anything to do with it.
Thank you so much ahead of time for your help!
There isn't a CM7.0 stable out yet. The latest "stable" is the RC1 but there are still issues. Probably there is nothing you can do but wait for a newer rom.
then what is the new Cyanogen 7 release using gingerbread that just came out? i know when I installed it, it was labeled under rom manager as a stable release.

Hi all,
I've a Nexus S (Gingerbread) and I'm curious to know what actually happens if there are too many failed unlock attempts at the unlock screen?
Will it eventually wipe the phone as a security measure? (this would be ideal)
I'm concerned because I'm going to be travelling with it soon and didn't know whether it would be worth stumping up for third party security like - Lookout mobile or something (does anyone have any suggestions?)
Thanks very much!
Nothing happens you just have to wait 30 secs and try again
Or you could hit "Forgotten Password " or whatever it is and sign in with your gmail account.

When my sisters tried to unlock my phone too many times, I had to log back into my gmail to unlock it myself.
So your data is safe unless they know your gmail address and password. If not, they will have to do a complete wipe (and I'm sure any thief wouldn't know how to do that)
If you want to be safer you could download Prey, it lets you lock, automatically send a text to a pre-defined number if the sim is changed and track your phone through the internet. It's free, that's the best part.

Thanks a lot for your help guys. After a bit of investigation, I went for an app called AutoWipe:

It's very simple and does exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks again.

I was wondering if anyone has this happening to them.
For the past 2 months I have been receiving unusual text messages whenever I go into my contact list. They come in pairs. First one says it's from 900-080-001087 second one is from 900-080-001089. Both messages contain the following text:
"//MIM:android:25110SY 52 Please Log in again."
The only difference is the "25110SY 52" portion (the "25" and "52" portions are different between the threads). And if you look at each of the messages' threads, the "25" portion increases sequentially with each message.
I went to the "accounts" section in the phone's settings but everything shows that I am still logged in with no problems or errors.
Could this have anything to do with Google's new 2-step increased security measures? I have been using them since they first came out. If so, how can I stop this from happening?

oh yeah... I forgot... I have also been receiving blank text messages from "Unknown" user for the same amount of time as the other weird messages. . Could this be related to those others? And yes... I did not install any new apps before this started happening. So I am at a loss as to finding a solution to this very annoying problem. Any ideas?

Never experienced this, but I was receiving messages from "Oz mail" whatever that is. They were really long, and they wanted me to reply to them. But by replying it would charge you for an international text.
It sounds like the messages i got when my backup assistant wasn't setup right.
You might want to check out those settings.
Google voice will not work with my skyrocket. I've cleared data, reboot, reinstalled, pretty much everything and no luck.
When it asks for voicemail service, i choose google voice instead of my carrier.
It then says "error - change to a new provider?" and if i choose yes or no it says "forwarding number change failed."
I really do not want to use ATT visual voicemail. Has anyone else encountered this error?
