Visual Voicemail for the NS4G??

Anyone get it working? I installed it but couldnt get it to provision Coming from my moment, i now HATE having to call my voicemail. That is so 2009.

Try YouMail or Google Voice. It is much better than the visual voice from sprint.
|NeXUS S 4G|

i've been using "Better You Mail", i've had no issues with it and it works as expected..

Using HulloMail and it's working great. I couldn't take the Sprint/Google integration of Voice myself.

Goolge integration kept stealing my text messages and not delivering them to me for hours. Goolge needs to fix this BS quick, because it sucks taint!

I didn't have that problem. The thing I hated was having to switch between Voice for SMS and regular Messaging app for MMS. I wouldn't mind the integration if Voice handled MMS as well.
I've found that using a third party VVM (HulloMail) app and uninstalling Voice is a great setup, IMO. I also tried Visual Voicemail Plus from the market, but I kept getting two messages for every one left for me. HulloMail is great. The only thing I really miss from Voice is having voice to text sent to me. A lot of the time I'm at a client site and can't listen to messages but can read them.

You have to skip integration when you set up Google Voice.

I also would like a way of getting Sprint's VVM working.
I tried Google Voice for awhile and ending up having serious problems with it.
If there is a way to get Sprint's VVM working, thatd be great!

spoke to Sprint advanced level support today and there was nothing they could do for me.
The way VVM works is that a text message comes in from 9016 that the VVM app picks up and then it goes out to download the voicemail. Without that text message coming in, the app will not know to retrieve any messages.
When I loaded my first cynogen rom on my htc hero, my account wasn't provisioned correctly and they weren't sending the text message anymore. I had called into advance tech support and they reset my voicemail to make it work again.
Now, on my Nexus S, I have the app loaded and it even sent back a text message saying it provisioned correctly. I guess the problem is that sprint knows I have a nexus and because of that, my account is on a different "platform" now. That platform does not utilize the messaging system for VVM and thus the notification does not come to my phone letting the VVM app know there is a voicemail to retrieve.

Thanks for the tip about Youmail. I wish I heard of this earlier. This is by far the best replacement for Sprint VVM. I hate Google Voice where it always shows you your SMS messages.
I tried Better Youmail at first since it seemed to get better market reviews. It was driving my nuts how when you put the phone in airplane mode it keeps telling you how it can't connect and I couldn't find a way to turn that off.
So I tried the regular Youmail and that worked great so I don't get the "can't connect" messages, and I could easily find a way to turn of the additional text and email notifications. There's two versions of regular Youmail on the market. The one I like best is the Youmail EOL (end of life?). The interface is black and simple just like Sprint VVM which I love.
The only thing that isn't perfect it has ads and suggestions to sign up for message transcriptions every time you play your VM. Youmail Pro disables the ads but it's $20 per year, and who knows what it looks like.

Youmail wasn't as nice and reliable as I thought.
I gave Google Voice another try and it no longer shows new SMS messages. I just installed it from market and didn't do any special Sprint integration. Not quite sure what I did or why it was so easy to turn off the SMS integration this time, but I really like it now: SMS on the messaging app, and VVM via Google Voice only, no dual notifications, no SMS going to Google Voice.

Thanks for the tips. After an hour of screwing around with the 2 Nexuses (Nexi???) in my house, sending dummy texts and VM's back and forth, I finally got it straightened out.
For those starting from scratch on a new phone:
1) If you have a VM notification on your taskbar, log into sprint voicemail once the old fashioned way, or else the notification will never go away. once it does go away...
2) Install updates to google voice from market
3) Launch GV, skip the integration step (or else SMS will be hijacked), set all the minimalist (my term) options in GV... don't let it make calls, etc... ONLY use it for VM's (I had to call a special *28 number for config but it might be because my GV #is different from sprint#... although in the end that is transparent to people calling my sprint # which was my goal).
4) In GV settings in your phone, turn on taskbar notification, but turn off SMS notification. In GV settings on PC at google.com/voice, turn off SMS notification AND email notification... but leave on transcripts (my preference... this is one place where GV is superior to sprint VVM... getting transcripts is pretty damn cool!)
When all is said and done, it seems to be mostly equivalent to old Sprint VVM, actually slightly better with the addition of transcripts as said above. My SMS works 100% normal. I don't have a lot of real world use yet, but from my tests the GV for voicemails only seems like it will work great.

Curious if anybody has figured out how to get stock visual voicemail working on Nexus S 4G. I'm hoping so!!

According to Sprint it is not possible to provision the Nexus S 4G to the Sprint Visual Voicemail system. Choices are GV and regular voicemail.

By "stock," you actually mean "Sprint," which isn't really stock in the sense of Google stock or Android stock.
Give GV a chance, you will see it has everything the Sprint app had and more.

Oh, no, I actually like GV myself. The only problem is I'm having an issue missing phone calls with my NS4G, and I'm thinking GV might be to blame.
Here's my thread on that for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16214057#post16214057

That sucks. Hasn't happened to me yet.
Ironically it DID happen from time to time on my old Moment, which DID use the Sprint VVM.

[Q] Suddently unable use GV for voicemails

My phone is setup to use Google Voice for voicemails, but as of a couple days ago VMs are no longer going to GV and instead goes to the standard verizon voicemail.
Now when someone leaves me a voice mail, I get a notification in the notification bar, but I get the standard VM notification, not the GV one and nothing ever shows up in GV. Ive set my phones "voicemail service" setting to "my carrier" and deactivated GV (by dialing *73) and then able to access the Verizon VM via *86. I then tried reactivating GV by dialing *7 then my GV number and uninstalled/reinstalled GV app on my phone, but people are still directed to the verizon VM and not GV.
The only thing Ive changed in the last couple days is Ive applied the wifi prompt hack from here and the Wifi Toggle mod from here (which Ive since run the "return to stock" package).
Im running rooted stock ICS and below is a screenshot of the notification.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

In call settings, is Google voice an option?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

There is and it's currently selected.

I have the same problem - callers hear "this voicemail has not been setup" even though my GV greeting is set.
edit - to OP, make sure you've activated your phone number for GV voicemail in the google voice website.

Are the phone and correct number listed in Google Voice settings (online) as having been activated for Google voicemail?
You mentioned using *7GoogleVoiceNumber - isn't it supposed to be *71GoogleVoiceNumber ?
- ooofest

I have had this happen once or twice, each time I would have to dial *71<then your google voice number> and hit the send call button. This basically tells Verizon to forward missed calls to your GV voicemail.
You can also call Verizon and ask them what your call forwarding is set to, and they can fix it there as well.
For what it is worth though, I have been able to use the setup Voicemail feature within Google Voice, it would always come back with some kind of carrier issue.

Try the following 3:
*71 GV #
*90 GV #
*92 GV #

Ive verified Google Voice is configured for voice mails via the web site (which you can see in the 1st screenshot below). Ive also verified my voicemail carrier is set to Google Voice and that it matches my actual google voice number (seen in screenshots 2 and 3).
Ive also dialed the 3 numbers in the previous post (*71, *90, *92 + GV#) and verified voicemails are still being left on verizon. Ill call them tomorrow to verify my phone is in fact fowarding as it should be though.
Finally, just to make sure GV was actually working I also verified that calling my actual google voice number and leaving a voicemail does show the notification on my phone in the GV app.
Really not sure how in the heck this happened, like I said, Ive been using this without issue for months, and it wasnt until a day or two ago that this started happening. Is it possible that either of those hacks/mods applied caused this? I didnt realize until after I applied them that some mods require a deodexed ROM, so wasnt sure if that was the culprit.
Hoping to figure this out rather then revert to an old nandroid backup.
Thanks again all, really appreciate the responses so far.

I had this problem too... On my Galaxy Nexus I could just play back my voice mails right through my main phone applications phone log but now with this phone I had to uncheck the box in google voice (on your phone) that says "Voicemail Display" allowing you to view and playback your voicemails from your call log. Soooo, I get all of my notifications now but they are through the google voice app instead of my phone app... Does this make any sense to you cause I am really tired but I tried everything and this was the best option... So uncheck the box for "Voicemail display" in google voice settings on your phone and you should be good to go if that is what you are looking for?? Also you can go right to your account online and make sure it is setup to forward to your gv number... Just go to "My Verizon and then My plans and services and then you will see a image at the top right of the screen saying "I want to" and hit the plus sign and you will see the options for forwarding your number.... Again, hope this helps a little but I don't know how your setup was before so I am just basing it on what my setup is...

While I didnt really follow the first part of your post, I did try changing forwarding via My Verizon as you mentioned and sure enough, that did the trick! For whatever reason the * commands must not have been working, but all works as it should now.
Thanks!

Yesterday 1 call went to my Verizon voicemail. All the rest went to Google Voice. It was late in the evening (around 6pm est). Working fine this morning. Someone must have pulled the wrong switch again at the mothership.

When I first configured my Verizon line and Android phone for Google Voice (with my Droid Incredible), it turned out that I had to call Verizon to have them properly enable forwarding because the * codes were not working. They said there was a configuration problem with my account, which took a couple levels of Support to eventually fix. So, I guess that means they could accidentally screw up anyone's account after-the-fact, too.

[Q] Google Voice, Obi, Samsung Galaxy II, and TMobile

A while back, we got an Obi 201 device and got rid of our ridiculous $65/month basic landline (we live in the sticks). I signed up for a Google Voice number and got everything working. The Obi works great with the same phones we used for our landline, just wireless Panasonic things.
I also set up the Samsung Galaxy II thinking it would be great to have that phone ring with the same number.
We're supposed to be able to use the Obi app for Android to call home when we're away, or to allow the kids to call us. While the kids can call us no problem, we can almost never get the Obi app working where we can call from the cell to home. It's really inconvenient at times.
So I decided to just go back to using the regular Tmobile number on the cell phone.
First, I changed the google voice app so that it wasn't responsible for making outgoing calls. This didn't work. I still heard the little google voice chime whenever I made a call.
Next, I uninstalled the google voice app entirely. Still no dice, weirdly it still chimes the google voice noise when I make an outgoing call. And trying to call home using the google voice number just takes me to my voice messaging system. I can't ring the Panasonic phones.
I go into Google Voice on my desktop and uncheck the cell phone number so it won't forward the calls. I restart my phone and try to call the google voice number, which should now ONLY be forwarding to the Obi machine - but I'm *still* getting the google voice chime and it takes me to voice mail rather than the home phones.
The only other thing I can think of is that in the Obitalk website the cellphone is entered, but it doesn't give me any way to delete it, and the status is 'red' suggesting it's not working.
What in the world do I need to do to this dang phone to get it to simply use the Tmobile number? It's rooted.
I searched everywhere and couldn't find anyone with this same problem. I hope I'm being super dense and missing something obvious, because this is a bit nuts.
Thanks!

You may need to reinstall the Google Voice app and go through the settings. Disabling mobile data should successfully force the phone to use old-fashioned cellular for calls. If so, then something's telling your phone to make VOIP calls over mobile data.
Also, check the settings within the phone app.

I have done all of that. Uninstalling the app completely - to the point where I can no longer find any reference to it in the phone settings, STILL calls out with that blasted google chime.
I reinstalled the app, and set it to never make calls with google voice, and it still calls out with the google chime, resulting in a total inability to call home - it goes straight to voice mail, thinking I'm calling myself.
I tried to delete my mobile number from google voice's website, but it says the account *has* to forward somewhere, even though my husband's google number does not forward anywhere.
If I un-check the mobile number to stop forwarding calls in the google voice website, calls stop coming to my OBI device, resulting in no home calls ringing, and the cell STILL calls out with that number.
I'm ready to throw this phone in the street and run over it a few times with the car. AUGH.

Should I just do a factory reset? I don't have any data that needs saving. I just want this stupid phone to be able to call my house when I'm out.

If that's the case, then go ahead and do that.

I did, but it didn't help. I begged for help on the Obitalk forums and finally found the setting I needed to change. For anyone else having this issue:
1. Add your t-mobile (or cell number) to Google Voice as a contact. Then, edit the google voice settings in the contact and make sure only 'ring google voice' is checked.
2. Then, go to the phones tab in the settings, and at the bottom click the 'edit' button. It's gray and hard to see. From there, click "advanced settings" and under voicemail check "no."
This will allow the cell phone to ring the Obi / google voice home number. Hooray.

[Q] Google Voice Voicemail problems

I have used Google Voice for my voicemail since the G1 so I know how all of this works generally. On the Nexus 5 if I select google voice for voicemail it still goes to the tmobile voicemail. I've enabled visual voicemail through customer service, cleared cache/data on the google voice app and restated the app. Does anyone else use their normal T-Mobile number with google voice? I have done this like I said since the G1, even on verizon where they say it didn't work, it did, it would throw up a warning saying it wouldn't work, but it worked just fine. The nagging voicemails I get from robot calls and others are a huge nuisance and google voice always fixed that. I've found tons of posts related to other things similar to my problem, but not this one specifically. The best I can come up with is it's related to the new dialer in kit kat. I've searched my best on these forums so I apologize if it's already been solved, I just really want this to work and tmob, nor nexus support are of any help.

Log in to your Google voice account on a pc. Go to your settings. Deactivate your Google voice mail. Follow directions to dial on your phone. Then activate your Google voice mail. Follow directions to dial in your phone. Go to your call settings on your phone. Go to call forwarding and make sure the last 3 entries are set to your Google voice mail #.

Solution for S5 simultaneous talk and surf issue

This is for the S5, but I assume it would work on the galaxy note 4 and all other devices with this issue.
Hi all, I wanted to let you know that there is a very easy work around for this limitation. It is supplied by Google Inc through the Hangouts Dialer app. I'm not sure whether or not you need Hangouts installed to use it, but it allows you to make calls via the data network and still use the network to browse the web, etc. I have tried it several times at home with WiFi off and it works flawlessly so far.
It's sad that Sprint didn't find a way to bypass this limitation on their own, or at least inform customers, but this is an easy and seamless solution by Google.
I put the icon right next to my default phone icon for future use.
Additionally, I can not believe that Sprint is not aware of this work around. I spoke to a few different representatives today, and none were able to offer a solution.
I found this on my own searching the play store. Hope this helps!!

I posted this in the community forum on sprint.com. Hopefully they will figure out a way to make it work......
Sprint:
As I have stated in other posts, the "Hangouts Dialer" app allows you to make calls over the data connection without WiFi and still be able to surf the web. (Please note, this app is different from "Hangouts", it is "Hangouts Dialer" by Google Inc.)
This works on my S5, and it should work on any device that can install the app.
This has not been suggested by any of the Sprint Agents in any of the posts I have seen. I have seen suggestions to use Skype and other VOIPs, but there are some charges and they require a WiFi signal.
This is very confusing because if the app is able to make calls using the data network, then why doesn't Sprint set up the default dialer to do the same thing if there is no WiFi connection? I do understand that this would increase the load on the data network, but you are losing customers at a significant rate due to this issue. Anybody who needs to be on the phone and confirm appts, emails, etc with the person/client/coworker they are on the phone with is not able to do so. This is a monumental step backwards that is inexcusable with todays technology. Waiting for VOLTE is not a solution, as the time frame on this is not guaranteed.
Please consider my suggestion for the default dialer app. Google already has it functional in the Hangouts Dialer app, so there is no reason it can't be done.
Thanks!

I decided to try this out, since you've been posting the same info in multiple threads. It works, but it's flawed. This ONLY works if you're calling someone who is also using Google Hangouts. (If they aren't, you're prompted to send them an SMS. The reason that we can't make simultaneous voice and data is a limitation of CDMA. Until Sprint updates to VoLTE, it's something Sprint users have dealt with since the first smart phone.

Ramer,
Thank you for responding to my post. I need to point out that you have two apps confused. As above, the app is not "Hangouts". It is "Hangouts Dialer". This is a dialer app. It can call landlines, cell phones, etc. No need for call to go to somebody who is also using Hangouts.
Please install the "Hangouts Dialer" app, turn off your WiFi, call a landline with the app, and then see if you can surf. I have had no issues with it so far.
Please let me know!

Go and type google voice on google and log on to the website with your Google account. There should be an option to add a Google voice number. Click on the one that says use your existing number and type in your number. It should detect that it's a sprint number and continue to the next step to enable google voice on your phone. If you don't want google voice on your phone anymore just go back to he website and disable your number from Google voice. You can always reactivate it at any time you want

I didn't read the entire thread.. My vzw S3 could have LTE and voice simultaneously. The S5 has a modified modem to disconnect 3G/LTE when sms/voice radio activates for battery saving. Annoying when downloading GB files!
