I'm sorry if this has been answered somewhere, but I did a search and couldn't find any info:
One of the cool features of ICS was that we could listen to our voicemail messages right in the call log. I have played around in the settings and haven't been able to find how to enable this feature. Does anybody know? I'm using AOSP's v.41 with Android 4.0.3 as the base. I use google voice as my main voicemail platform...is that the problem?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

+1 Asking too.
There was a thread about this a while back and that feature is not in ICS yet. Google said it'd implement it later on.
This should do a better job of explaining:

Hi. There's a few call recording apps in the market but IMHO none are that great, and most of them haven't been updated for 2.0 yet. With N1 hardware is it possible to build a better, solid app? I do a lot of interviews over the phone (am a researcher) so something like this would be golden.
isnt this illegal? oo, unless you tell them the conversation could be recorded.
I was using Air Voice on the HTC Hero, and as said, it is broken on Android 2.x.
I am so looking for this kind of app on the Nexus one.
Google Voice can do it, I think... See here. I just read through it, but I'm not exactly sure what the restrictions are. Basically you just press 4 during or before your conversation, but a note at the bottoms says:
"Note: at this time you can only record calls you receive on your Google Voice number. You can't record calls you initiate using our Click2Call from our website or the Return Call feature from your voicemail."
But it doesn't mention anything about if you place a call using your phone. I don't know if this helps you any, unless you make the interviewer call you first
Ultimate Voice Recorder v2.3.4 Will get 'er done.
Tasker also will do the trick. It's not in the Market yet [get it here] but it was one of the top three utilities in ADC2. It's like Locale on steroids. Takes a bit to get used to but it's amazing
Thanks for the input.
1) Google Voice only records on calls made to you GV number. I'm not really using GV yet (except for voicemail), and most of the calls I initiate.
2) Ultimate Voice Recorder -- not clear to me its been upgraded for Eclair. I've contacted the developed, but we'll see -- its reviews are middling.
3) Tasker. Wow, I've just downloaded it, and don't know about its recording capabilities, but everything else, damn, it could change a lot of the way I use my phone. Thanks for that rec!
The way tasker is worded it sounds like it only records your outgoing voice.
+1 on Ultimate Voice Recorder
I believe the problem is Android does not let you intercept the incoming audio during a call. I'd love to see a framework change for rooted phones that would allow this. After all there are plenty of countries that don't think its odd for you to be able to record your own conversations with someone.

If you have Verizon or AT&T, maybe you can ask the US Gov't for all your conversations. They record all of them and store them in a US data base and have been doing it since before 2000.
Tmobile was the only one who said ..."Warrant please".
Sorry, I couldn't resist. I still haven't forgotten.

I didn't realize that about T-Mobile. That racks up points in their favor for me too.
I have installed the leaked Froyo release, and reinstalled all apps and settings using instuctions found on this forum. That all went very smoothly, so, thanks to the people here. I have to report one error in the system that has been reported in other forums many times. The new froyo voice actions from voice search do not work properly or at all in some cases. The new voice search understands my voice perfectly, but then fails to perform the voice activated commands ("voice actions") as google intended. If i say "Call John Smith", voice search performs a google search for the phrase "call john smith", rather than calling John Smith (John Smith would be a google contact). I spent quite some time looking for a solution but found none that work. Disabling contact sync, deleting the contact cache and resyncing from gmail does not work. I doublt I will be the only one who filnds this problem. If anyone is aware of a fix for this, please post a link.
Thanks

It's not a bug or a problem as a lot of people think of it. Voice search and Voice commands have been split in the Mesmerize build. This is not like a regular Google Vanilla build. Both work, and work very well, just not as most people are used to. I've posted a couple of replies to this same type of "problem" before, but you have explained yourself a lot better than most people. I assume that you had experience with other Android phones with both of these features built in to one application. Personally, this is my first and only Android so it's all that I am used to.
I hope this helps explain things and help you with the issue. It's helped other people in the past.

Does that mean there's a separate application for Voice Actions?
phedelt82,
I am alittle confused as to what you are saying, Are you referring to the Nuance voice commands as separate app. I can get that to work, but it is sluggish and less accurate than the google search version. There is a google video demonstrating voice actions from inside of voice search. I think this is supposed to be part of the stock rom, no need to download a separate app. That said there is an upgrade on the market for google search that becomes available once on 2.2. With or without this, the prolem still exists.
My understanding is that in Froyo, the google search app shound first interperate the words that are being spoken. Then based on what phrase it desides has been said either performs a google search on the phrase, or if the phrase contained the right opening keyword, such as "call" or "email" or "map" or "directions", it issues a 'voice action' command to the associated app. Eclair did this with some apps such as calling reasonably well right from the stock google voice search. In Froyo, the abilty of voice search to understand what is being said I would say is improved. However, it drops the ball when it comes to passing the intended command to the app. Oddly, It will call any resturant or bussiness not in my contacts with total reliability. Something is wrong possibly when the voice search recognises the keyword "call", executes the voice action assoicated with "call" (the dailer) and then finally gets confused when it somehow fails to find the contact requested, even though it is in the google contacts.
I was wondering if I am the only one with the problem of the market, or appbrain or any other wifi app FCing randomly? Also if enabling debugging and system lagfix in CWM recovery could b my problem? Thnx in advance and fo all the excellent work the devs have done on these ROMs and Kernels.

I had a modem crash error xD. Factory reset fixed it. Not a big deal at all. >.>
I realize the this is a Meserize forum but I am having the exact same problem with my Verizon Fascinate that I've update the to a leaked Froyo. Other voice commands seem to work fine and "Call <business name>" works great! But if I try "Call John Smith work1" then it does a google web search for that instead of dialing that phone book entry! It's very frustrating...
I'd be willing to bet that it's the same problem and will have the same solution (since the phones are so related). So I hoope someone has fix for this.

This appears to be a common issue and so far I haven't found anyone with an answer other than to use a different app.
I have still been unable to figure this out. I have found that the people I know with HTC's and froyo or DroidX and some others do not have this problem. Did Samsung somehow create this bug putting it into touchwiz, or is this possible a defect due to the non official release?

phidelt82, can you explain what you mean by the Voice Search and Voice Actions being split? If they are split, does that mean they can be accessed separately?
Hello,
Currently on Steel Droid 10, came over from Miui 3.6 to try this ROM...Its Awesome!!!
Now, Couple of things "Under The Hood" that is not working for me..
First,
Is Visual Voicemail from Verizon...I can receive the calls and the messages then when I go and chose the message to listen to it mentions;"Voicemail Not Download Properly"...
It will not allow me to review the Message unless I access my Visual Voice Manually...or *86
Now on Miui 3.5,3.6---Miui 2012 2.30 and up no issues...Is it possible to copy the Apk Files from those ROM's and bring it over to this Steel Droid ROM...?
By the way, I have no Idea How to do that just being up front...
Second,
Noticed that I dont have Group Contacts which I find to be very helpful Organizing My Distributor Contacts...
Torch is not Working either...Not a big deal..

Just like the title says, I would like the voice button in GO keyboard to call up Google voice typing instead of the GO speech recognition. I really like the Google input, but I can't stand the default keyboard. I guess a secondary question is whether or not there is another third-party keyboard that has this functionality already? I've got a Galaxy S3 running freeza's ROM.
Thanks.
Shameless bump in the hopes of catching the attention of someone in the know
Am I really asking the impossible here?
Can someone at least suggest a better place to go to try an get an answer to this question?
Last try...
I know I said I wasn't going to keep bumping this, but I really want it and I can't think of anywhere else to ask this question
So this, might be a CM question, but has anyone using google voice on a stock rom seen the integration message in the updated google hangouts app "Migrate google voice to hangouts"? I've gotten the update, but I haven't seen the message as of yet and was just curious if the CM voice+ thing was interfering with it.

I'm not using an OPO, but I do have my # ported to Google Voice. I have yet to see the message. I was reading a blurb on PhoneArena that the transition is not going too smoothly. I'd recommend to wait a bit, and let Google sort it all out.

My thoughts exactly, hoping they sort everything out as well. I have my Google Voice number and my regular number. I actually use both for different sets of people since Google Voice can't do international calling. To accomplish this took some fiddling though. I have Hangouts set to my default sms app, and Voice+ option disabled, this way the two environments stay separate. Otherwise all messages would be sent from either one or the other number completely.
Ideally would love to run everything through Hangouts with the option to choose how the communication is sent: phone's number, gv number, or hangout (the way it is now in how you can choose sms or hangout). Can't be an easy thing they're doing trying to integrate everything.
I have been waiting a long time for this. I hadn't seen that droid life article, thanks zephik. Hopefully they flip the switch back on soon. I use my GV number exclusively, so this integration is a godsend.
