New to android, and was wondering if there is an app that will do voicemail like iphone? I think evo has it.

Yeah, if I had to choose one thing I miss about my iPhone, it would be visual voicemail. Would definitely like to see a mod for it.
Google Voice
Google Voice is the best/free app that comes to my mind (works great for me), however I'm sure if you Google or just look for apps on the marketplace they shouldn't be hard to find...
the best visual voicemail app ive found is called youmail
I use Google voice for visual voicemail.

Duh, I completely forgot about my Google Voice account. I need to set that up haha.
Visual voicemail by Fusion
There is an app called visual voicemail. It is made by Fusion. Works great for me. I used it with Windows mobile. Had an account back then. I even get faxes to my cell number. All free when I signed up with Windows Mobile.
I don't think this belongs in the development section
this definitely belongs in general. keep the development section open for roms and fixes etc.
Anyone else think we need a q&a sections like some of the other phones?
Unfortunately for those of us that use Google Apps they left us in the dust on Google Voice.

Yes, Google Voice is pretty good. Its about as close to iphone visual voicemail as you're gonna get on the Captivate.
Plus I kind of like the transcribed voicemail emails.
How do I use that instead of att
voicemail?
Sorry for a noob q??

Log into your google account on your computer. Find google voice on google's site. There is an option to use google voice for just voice mail. There will also be instructions for setting up your phone to forward voice mails to your google voice account. When you are all done wth that, download google voice from the market and go through its options.
I did all that and google voice works seamlessly for my voice mail.
Just open another google accountunder the same email. Problem solved

Damn. I didn't know you could do that. I started another account under a different name because the market wouldn't work with my apps name.

Problem NOT solved because it's still a different account with a new contact list.
Your google voice account does not have to be the same as your primary account. I have a google apps account that I use as my primary account for contacts, email and calendars. I have a second account that I use for the market and google voice. It works fine.

But none of your Voice stuff syncs with the main account.
My friends have the option to make calls with Google Voice...but I do not...even Sipdroid does not have the option to set it up with Google Voice like a lot of my friends have...the option is just missing entirely from the Sipdroid app
I have checked Voice settings, its certainly sync'd with my phone number, and I receive voicemails via Voice, but no option anywhere to make calls....
Wow no help at all? Lol

When u installed did u select the option to ask whether to use google voice automatically? Also don't move app to sd cuz I sent wasn't able to use widget. So either move to phone internal mem or uninstall and reinstall. Hth

I'm not sure about Google Voice, but SIPDroid works great with my company's SIP gateway. To call via SIP, as I remember, you need to either set SIPDroid as your preferred calling method, or suffix the number with a "+"
You might also want to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548405 which came up from a Google search for "sipdroid" as the second listing, right after http://sipdroid.org/
I was looking for this online and couldn't find anything.
Basically I want to be able to make phone calls via Samsung Galaxy S 4G using an extension within Chrome.
i.e, I want to click on an extension (within Chrome), dial numbers on my computer keypad and have my phone call it.
And I want to be able to see my contact list AS WELL AS have the ability to dial numbers.
Is this possible???
Thanks!
Theres one for your body called your arm. It also has a hand that you can pick up your phone and dial/view contacts with.
For google chrome probably not.
Google Voice yes. Not sure if its exactly what ya want but it works.

Sounds like you'd benefit from using Google Voice
https://www.google.com/voice
Log into the google voice page, pick the contact you want to call and select call, it'll ask you which phone you'd like to connect with and you can use your sgs4g or even gtalk if you want to do it directly from your computer (you need a mic).

i tried that but it doesn't work.. if i click on the contact list, the only thing i can do is check the box associate with the contact.. nothing more..i then tried to sign up for google voice and I had to port my number to it. I tried the lite version but i'd rather have my voicemail goto my carrier (Tmobile) than to google..
Just kidding man ill look at google voice after class and see what i can find.

Sprint users,
Has anyone figures out how to get the VVM app on our nexus?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I'm no longer with Sprint and I don't have my Nexus 5 yet, but in the past I was able to get it working on my old Optimus S running CM7 from a titanium backup I got from the original ROM. Its worth trying to pull it from a Sprint branded device (with app data) and importing to the Nexus. But I wouldn't be surprised if that didn't work.
It'd be nice if they made it a Play Store app like T-Mobile does.
Why doesn't Android have visual voicemail support built in? My Windows Phone had VVM neatly integrated. I love this phone, but it really surprised me that I had to download a 3rd party app to do this on Android

If you use Google voice, it does have visual voicemail like features, include free transcription.
You don't have to do full intergration or porting either. Just have Google voice handle your voicemail (launch google voice and walk thru' the steps to set it up as voicemail app)
I tried setting up Google Voice as voicemail only and didn't not work, when I dial number to provision *28..... Just tells me something about code not valid...
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
OK So I installed Google Voice and set it up only to handle my voicemail only. I suspect that Sprint was doing nothing more than using Google Voice to an extent, because when I installed Google Voice and set it up on my phone my Old Voicemail greeting was the greeting that I had. I had never used GV before on any of my old phones and when I set up my Nexus 5 I used the system standard. (I could be and most likely am wrong about this theory, just found it odd that the greeting was my old one from my old phone when I just used Sprint VMM app before)

The error when dialing *28 is tower specific - I ran into this when I was trying out youmail on sprint. Had to try out a few different towers before the *28 would take - be persistent.
Hello All,
I am having some trouble after I have no rooted and S-Off my M8. Everything else is perfect and I love my phone more than ever, but now when I go to the messages and scroll right, my VVM is gone and I also lost the app for it as well. Strange enough, it still shows in my Titanium backup list but the "service" is missing. I did uninstall some bloatware and languages but definitely not the service. Anyone know how to get it back or where I could find the APK? I would appreciate the help!

Ok, which messaging app are you using, stock or the verizon messaging app? Also, did you uninstall any Verizon apps, and if so, which ones?

I am using the stock messaging app. I Uninstaller the vzw messaging app, NFL network, Polaris, Verizon tones, Verizon mobile security, Navigator, cloud, accessories, isis, support and protection, infozone. Also installed all keyboard language packs except for Spanish and English.

Probably has something to do with the Verizon apps you uninstalled. Happened to me too but with the regular voice mail app. When I try to open a it, it force closes. Even when I try to access it via messages on the right.
Only way to go to voice mail now is by dialing my number

I think you may be right. I'm a little stumped now, other than OP flashing a stock ROM again. To the OP, you might want to try a stock/debloated ROM, which you can find here. I would recommend SKYFALL or Bonestock, both great ROM's, and Verizon Visual Voicemail should work just fine. Hope that helps you!
So no one had the apk or service zip to correct this?

Usually is tied to messaging. I would be surprised if that was it. If you haven't heard it before...switch to Google voice for voicemail!

Yeah, I tried Google voice but it was a nightmare trying to set it up on a VZW device. I swear, if it wasnt for their reception I would leave them so fast.

It says " Unfortunately your network carrier is currently not supported for automatic voicemail configuration." When I try to set it up. I tried to follow the manual steps but no joy. Mind sharing how you set it up on your m8?

OK... so the first time setup I usually do from a PC while logged into google voice. There's a first time setup page there that tells you to complete a step you would likely miss otherwise. From memory... you have to enter *71 [Your GV #] and hit send on your phone. This sets up the voice mail forwarding for no answer/busy. You then open and install the google voice app and open it. ?It will ask you to login and then you hit next. I chose the option to NOT use google voice to make any calls. Click next on the setup voicemail page (you will get the unfortunately error. Hit configure. Select google voice. Hit OK on the carrier configuration prompt.
If you land at the voicemail settings screen (which is under phone settings->call) you want to see the voice mail service set to Google voice and when you click on the Voicemail Settings for google voice there you should see your google voice number there. After that, go back to the google voice app and it will sync your new mail box. Make a test voicemail call from a different phone and see what happens.
Hardest thing is getting the forwarding number setup on each phone which only needs to happen one time.... regardless of swapping phones. After that you will only ever need to run through the app setup

Turns out it was extreme power saving mode that broke it.
