It's because you're using Google Voice. Go onto google.com/voice and turn off Call Screening.

+1 to that.
That is just one of the reasons I don't care for Google Voice.

It's good, just not for me

+1 for gVoice here as well. I get "visual" voicemail that can also be seen when checking my email on the pc, can send texts to any # from email, and I have a second local number that I give as my business line. Its all kind of ++

It will cost $1.99 a month after your trial. You will be given a reminder before trial is up to sign up for the service.

I just updated. has anyone tried this new feature and how well does it work? the one on google voice does a horrible job of converting voice to text...
I downloaded in hopes of getting rid of the 9016 text on aosp builds, but no luck lol.

Every time I try to instal this it says application not installed, just like the regular update method... Ugh, the icon in my notification bat won't even go away now.
Nice! Installed flawlessly and the voice-to-text feature is going to be sweet.

First voicemail with update didn't translate. It keeps saying it is converting

Not interested in the voice to text, and not liking to in your face advertising for it in the vvm app now. It was a required update too. Hopefully they'll remove the ad before long.
Why would you pay for this feature. GV does it for free and it sucks lol

I dont think anybody in their right mind would pay for that, I dont know what Sprint is thinking. Just listen to the damn voicemail, plus the text is never accurate from what I have seen on my girlfriends phone, since my phone for some reason wont update.

Really no visual voice mail!

Can't find visual voice mail that came stock like the iPhone 4?

are you talking about youmail, or visual voicemail plus?
arent those kind of the same thing as google voice?
I like google voice, you can check you voicemail online, it transcribes(usually poorly, but but better than spring vvm, when i had my epic.)
Google Voice.

you make a lot of threads >_>
yep google voice. sux that any visual voice mail on att not on the iphone is considered a forwarded call and thus uses your minutes but atleast it's not a surcharge like on sprint to use call forward or use sprints transcription service. i used youmail a while back because for some reason on a stock captivate rom that phone wouldn't set call forwarding up to the google voice number for the life of me. if would just fail for no reason. yet it worked for the youmail number. on an i9000 rom my captivate set up google voice just fine. go figure. what i will say is that toe youmail transcription service works better but it is not free, they may still have a free trial for it though.

there is no other platform that has the 3rd party app support and dev comunity. the iphone ui sux. they are constantly doing hacks to get andriod features but they are never as good. meego looks good but few phones have compatable bootloaders.
I can't forward my voicemail at&t number to GV voicemail. On GV app setup when I click configure voicemail and choose GV, it just bring me back to configure voicemail,
I remember when I had my iPhone 4 and some called be on my att number and was sent to the voice mail, the voicemail was forward to GV voicemail.

I had trouble too. Just came from iphone also. You need to log in on your PC not the Google voice app and set it up there Google.com/voice . You should be able to find where it says activate voicemail. Click it and it will give you a long number to call mine started with a *. Enter that # as if you where making a call and press send it will activate your account. I tried and tried to get it working from my phone but ended up going it this way. Good luck

Why not just dial your cell phone number, enter voicemail passcode and listen to your VM's?
Or, have them forwarded to Google Voice?

1) Do what I do... uninstall an reinstall google voice.
2) SKIP the sprint integration
3) Follow the normal google voice setup
It now acts like VVM and doesn't display texts

It requires kernel support.
Possible? I have already rooted her phone.

There are special libs that work with Kineto.apk. They are located in /system/lib, they are:
libganril.so
libkineto.so
librilswitch.so
They all must be on the phone to make wifi calling work. Will they work flawlessly on her phone? I honestly don't know, but that's how it is on the G2x. I never even heard of that phone
I'll try pushing
libganril.so
libkineto.so
librilswitch.so
into her system/lib folder and see what happens. Do i need to link these shared obj files or can i just place them?
You're aware that wifi calling only work on tmobile and the admire is not a tmobile phone, it will NOT work.

Thats probably why i never heard of it, he's right. You chances of getting it to work are slim if it's not a T-Mo phone.

Yes i am aware that the wifi calling apk is for t mobile. I figured i might give it a try though and see what happens. Maybe thats a dead end. So, I have nettalk on her phone at the moment but it only works on out going calls and gives her a different number. I need something similar to t mobile wi-fi calling that allows her to keep her number? I am willing to buy from the market. One time fee though. Nothing like pay per call or credited accounts. Ideas?

Use Google voice, sign up from the web, it'll give you a phone number, that can be linked to her phone.

There is no way the T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling app will work for you. Regardless of if you can get the app to run on the phone, it requires specific support on the carrier side to work.

Yeah i have thought about doing that but from what I've heard, she gets assigned a GV number and is not able to keep her old one. It's like having a whole new number. then she would have to hand that out. Thats why i have been hesitant and left this as my last resort. But hey, something is better than nothing any day in my book!!
Or am i wrong? Does she get to keep/use her old one?
@andrewNY, yeah i was hoping that wasn't the case, thanks for confirming though!

You can set it up to keep both numbers, that's how I had it set up, only if you set it up to not replace the mumber.

Voicemail Notification

Hi guys,
I got one of those beauties just recently and absolutely love it.
Only one thing that I couldn't work out:
The phone doesn't send me voicemail notification. So when someone calls and leaves a voicemail, it does not send a message to my phone, saying that I have new voicemail. Do I need an app for that?
Thanks for help!
I would suggest calling att or whichever carrier you have if the issue came out of the box. They likely didn't provision the account properly.

Visual Voicemail doesn't seem to be compatible with HTC One X...
Call att tell them to provision you for visual voicemail then install the app from the play store. It works just fine.

Are you able to call into your voice mail? If so does it let you set it up or access it like normal? In any case att needs to reset your voice mail, if none of these things resolve the issue you should be escalated to their tech support so they can look into detailed settings from your voice mail.
