I am on T-Mobile. I use Google Voice for voicemail. If someone calls me while I have Gmail open, it rings in GMail and I can answer it and talk to the caller and everything. Is this normal?
Its a feature. You can disable it in the Google voice settings on the web

Interesting I never noticed before. I thought it only did that if you were on Sprint and did the "integration" thing. Thanks.

No mms with gv
is there a way to un-link your phone and your gv account?
You can go into Google voice's web interface and under settings mark your phone as receiving texts. Then you'll have mms back. Trade off is you get two notifications per SMS(one from Google Voice and one from whatever you used for texts before).

Yeah, i had to talk to a Sprint Customer Service person to do it.
Took about 20 min to get it sorted.
So whenever I get a missed call the person on the otherline gets a Google voice mail messenger, does anyone know why and how I can get it to my normal voicemail.

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??
I have a rooted nexus 5 on stock rom and I am using youmail for voicemail. For some reason I have the icon in the status bar that says I have a voicemail. (not a youmail icon but the regular voicemail icon)
How do I get this to go away?
Are you on Sprint? I could only get rid of mine by using Google Voice to put the VM in my missed call log.

I am on sprint but I use YouMail which is a similar voicemail service to Google voice. YouMail works fine. Calls are being forwarded to it and I am receiving voice mails from it. Still there is a voicemail icon that won't go away

Do you have voicemail feature/service with Sprint? If so call in and delete any voicemails in your inbox. If not then call Sprint and have them enable their voicemail service for your line and have someone call you and leave a voicemail. Then call in and delete it.

I called into sprints voice mail and there are no messages. Still the icon in my status bar will not go away.

Still no resolution. Has anyone had any other ideas or know what causes this icon to stay on here?
I used to have a Nexus 5 on Sprint but recently got a new one on T-Mobile and I can't get Google Voice voicemail to work. I've cleared data on the app and reinstalled numerous times and even pulled my old phone number off of Google Voice online.
And yes I've checked the dialer settings and it's set to Google Voice for voicemail.
I never had a problem getting it to work with Sprint...
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Why isn't it working? Works fine for me.
Are you stock? Rooted? Custom ROM? Does it give you an error message or are the voicemails just not going to Google voice? Are you sure they aren't going to voice and you just have notifications completely off?
Same here, working perfectly on CM11. T-Mobile N5

Does you plan include call forwarding? It's required to have google replace your voicemail. I'm on metro pcs (Who runs on t-mobile) and I had the same problem till I realized my plan didn't include call forwarding and added it on
