How did you uninstall the voicemail? I would like to do this as well, but I don't know what it is called. Do you know the name of the .apk/.odex?
Thanks.

Would you happen to have a copy of the visual voicemail??

Post #125 has the link to the Voicemail app. Just throw it onto your SD card and run AppInstaller. Worked perfect for me when I accidentally lost my Voicemail on my Sprint Hero.
I'm not sure about uninstalling it, but i would assume its the same filename, so in your CMD window, you could rm it...? I don't know for sure since i didn't uninstall mine, just seemed to have gone missing.

Did you ever find the answer. I have the same issue with my EVO.

Why don't you try using Google Voice for voicemail, it will give a notification.

You can't just go sign up for an account. He'd have to wait like a month for an invite.

I have Google Voice, but it's doesn't have visual voicemail. And the android app does not allow you to have multiple accounts.
I am having a issue were when people leave me a voicemail, I don't receive a notification at all, I only know I have a voicemail message if I call my number. The only way people can reply to me through VVM is if I send them a VVM.
I also have a touch pro 2 with XAndroid and have VVM installed on it, and when I try to send the [email protected] text message I get //Androidrovisioning: unsuccessful
Anyway to get past this provisioning from sprint?

It is Sprint_VM.apk It does not work on Gingerbread yet.

You can push the Sprint_VM.apk to /system/app folder using adb and it works as long as you are not on Gingerbread. If you don't know adb you can to to www.geekfor.me and use the Kitchen tool.

Broke voicemail

I am running the infuse gb rom. att has reset my voicemail several times and it still doesn't work. is anyone else having this problem
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using XDA App

whats not working? can you not acess it, can people not leave you messgaes, are you not getting a message waiting indicator, is the mailbox not regonizing your hitting buttons, any error messages heard by you or callers?

I wants me to enter a voicemail number. The at&t store couldn't figure it out either.I install youmail, it says I don't have any messages but I have a voicemail notification
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using XDA App

Press and hold the 1 button in your dialer. It will dial your voicemail. Back out and check the logs for last call. It will show you the number.

where you able to check via holding the 1 key, or is that when you are told to enter a voicemail number? and you are using youmail and or just downloaded that thinking it would help, att can help with att vmail but not youmail.

Glad to help!

not sure if you fixed it... but i had the same issue when i first bought my infuse.
turned out that i wasn't even signed up for voicemail on this device (coming from iphone > blackberry).
i went into "manage features" on my ATT dot com, signed up for "enhanced voicemail ($1.99/mo, but i believe this is the most basic voicemail service offered for this phone), and problem was solved.
hope this helps, if you haven't already fixed your issue.

thats because with the iphone the "visual voicemail" 'is attached to the iphone data plan so when switched to new data plan it was removed, you can get basic voice mail for free, main difference btwn basic and enhanced are
Greeting Length - Maximum: 1/2min
Message Length - Maximum: 2/4min
Number of Messages - Maximum: 20/40
Days Messages Kept - New: 22/30
Days Messages Kept - Saved: 14/30

I came from the iPhone also - I was wondering why I didn't wasn't getting my voice-mail.. Instead of paying at&t a just used Google Voice for my voice-mail instead -its just as good as the visual voice-mail.

You mail changes your voicemail number to their number. Call att and ask them for your voicemail mail number the original one. I called and they gave it to me, this was after using Google voice and I wanted my original voicemail back.

Google Voice?

Has anybody here managed to get Google Voice working w/ this phone? I keep getting error messages when using the app to change my voicemail over, and the same goes if I do it manually using the *004* method

Have you actually tested it? I have it working on the original GS2 and I believe I got error messages too. When I attempted to change it in the settings, it always said the change was unsuccessful, but in actuality, it was working. I would place a test call to see it is activated. If not, try setting the voicemail back to default, then clearing data of the application (Google Voice - found in settings - applications - manage applications), and start over. You can also peruse the troubleshooting guides that Google likely provides somewhere.

@Cobalt which carrier are you with?

I figured out my problem. Bad SIM card. Voice worked, data worked, but anything involving network requests (MMI codes) didn't. Got AT&T to give me a new one. Works like a charm now.

I'm having a problem setting up my google voice number on my new Skyrocket too... Unfortunately I don't believe it's related to my SIM card as I swapped SIM's with the one from my Nexus One (which GV works fine with) and I get the same error.
When I try to configure GV and it tries to switch the voicemail service from "my carrier" to "google voice", it gets an error saying "change to new provider?" If I select yes, then I get another error that says "forwarding number change failed". The phone rings fine with I dial my GV number indicating the forwarding at GV is working fine, but if I dial out from my phone, it shows my phones number instead of the GV number meaning something in the phone isn't being configured right.
I searched on the issue and find this thread at the google voice help forum, so I know it's not just me but I can't seem to get it to work no matter what I do.

I changed my settings manually. menu>settings>call>call forwarding then edit the numbers to your gv number. This worked for me. Take note of the vm number that's in there in case this method doesn't work for you.

That works fine for the incoming voicemail, but the outgoing calls still show up on the receiving phone as my cell phone's number instead of my google voice number.

Sorry about that.

Do your outgoing calls show up as from you GV number?

Nope, but I don't want them to either. I just use GV for the visual voicemail.

I'm curious, is anyone else out there sharing my issue with the outgoing phone number?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

Nobody? I can't believe there aren't any other Google Voice users out there with the Skyrocket!

I'm sure you have, but just to rule out possibilities, is the option to use 'Google voice to make all calls' checked?

No problem with mine. Calling and text works fine, incoming and outgoing. Didn't set it up for voicemail though.

Actually no, but I'm 99% sure it wasn't on my previous Nexus One either, yet it still called out from my GV number. I've tried it though and it didn't help. Thanks for the thought.

Just to be clear, so when you dial someone else, their caller ID shows your GV number, NOT your cell phone number?

That is pretty odd. And you haven't modified your phone at all?

I tried installing GV stock, and also on the SkyROCKeteer ROM and get the same problem on both (as described in post 5). Get errors on installation, but incoming calls work fine and voicemails go to the GV app. But outgoing calls get received as from my cell number instead of as from my GV number.

I guess I was more asking where it's at now, if it's on stock or not. I regularly say things worded completely wrong.
Do you have visual voicemail setup? I've wondered with it being introduced with this phone if there'd be any conflicts.
So two questions to everyone, if you have the google voice app working, do you or don't you have visual voicemail? And did you have any issue getting outgoing calls to reflect your Google voice number?

At the moment I'm running the SkySTOCKeteer rom, but I installed GV bone stock within a few minutes of getting the phone and got the same errors.
No, I've never tried the visual voicemail app. I'll try freezing it with Ti Backup and see if that helps.
I've yet to see anyone claim it's fully working (including outgoing caller ID) on the skyrocket.

I'm 99% sure it was. That's the way it works. I too have a Nexus One and it works that way. If you don't have either "Ask every time I make a call" or Use Google Voice to make all calls", it won't work. Simple as that.

This is what I had to do.
Enter the code, *004*1(your GV# w/ area code)#
- That will change your "Call Forwarding" settings
To get the phone to dial your GV go to the Voicemail settings, select "Google Voice", and then immediately press the "Home" button. When you go back to look it should have stayed GV.

have you gone to phone settings > call > voicemail > and made sure that the phone is actually saving Google Voice as your voicemail service and settings? mine would not actually save google voice in this field until after i had entered the call forwarding dial code mentioned above. took a few tries, but eventually i got it. also, try going though voice.google.com and making sure all your settings there match up with what you are trying to do.

I finally got my voicemail to dial the Google voice number. I had to check off the stock voicemail button, then manually change the voicemail number (only way I could access that number) to my Gv number...then recheck the Google voice button and I was good to go. Thanks for your help!

I tried this trick and it worked, which is to say now it shows GV as my vm provider and any voice messages left for me are going to my GV inbox.
However, I just cant seem to get the notification working. Despite the boxes being checked in settings on my phone, it does not let me know when I have a new vm.
Any suggestions please?

Having the same problem. My google voice number is still linked as my main Sprint number though, so I wonder if that's part of the problem. Right now, I can get calls to my google voice number on the one x, but I get no sms or voicemail notifications. Really close to just sticking with Sprint and getting the EVO but I'd like to make this work if I can.
When I try to change settings on the phone, I get a lot of those "thinking" animations on the phone and it never actually accesses the settings. This is currently happening when I was trying to change my google voice voicemail number. It's supposed to be my google voice number, right? And should it be 1+ area code or just start with area code? By default, it was set to my at&t phone number so I am trying to change it.

same problem here still. i've got everything setup and functioning, and I even get my email notification sent to my gmail account as i have setup via voice.google.com, but i still dont get the actual SMS or notifications from GV itself. I distinctly recall the notifications working immediately after setting it up because the first thing i did was test out how well the voice transcription worked, but they haven't worked at all in the past couple of weeks...hoping google and/or HTC are on this.

[Q] Activating GVoice on VZW SGS3

I did a search but cant seem to find how to activate Google Voice on my VZW GS3. Im trying to set it up but it says that VZW doesnt support this feature. So I followed the GV support page where it says to dial codes to activate, and one of them takes me to VZW where it says I cant do it. Yet I see people on here using GV. Am I doing something wrong? I am running CleanROM 2.5. Thanks for any help in advance.
Edit: Still have been trying to figure it out and neither of my VM are working now, Stock VZW not GVoice....

Hi,
This is pretty simple. Just log into gvoice in your browser (http://www.google.com/voice) and go settings. Under phone where you setup your number to be forwarded, should show use this as your main voice mail. Follow its steps.

Gvoice, but I would like it to be easy to switch back if I wanted to. Right now neither VM is picking up if I ignore a call. I can call my gvoice number and it will work, but when someone calls nothing is working.

You called the number gvoice tells you to dial to make gvoice your default VM?
Will not work unless you do so.
*71(your gvoice #)
if you did this already, deactivate it *73 and try it over again. *71(your gvoice #)
That is what you have to do to switch between them.

And when I do the *71 I get 3 short busy tones and it hangs up.
When someone calls me and I reject it, The incoming call hears "Your call could not be completed as dialed"
I think ive tried all the proper steps, but feel like im missing something. Please keep the suggestions coming, they are very appreciated

i've just done it 4 times back to back to see if it still worked on the s3 and it does.....just making sure (please don't make any assumptions about what i'm about to type up, it's just to make sure its being done lol) that when you input the # to dial, you include the asterisk before 71 and that you're using the full 10 digit phone number for your google voice number, like for me its *713379449734 to enable, then *73 to disable......it has worked across an incredible 2, droid 3, and now galaxy s3

Yes ive done it multiple times. Like i said when i do the *71 i get a quick busy signal then it hangs up. Ive been all over the place looking around and now neither vm's are working. I only wanted this for the visual vm aspect of it. I believe that its working. Im sure its me doing something wrong. I have setup it up and activated online, it shows my number and carrier, i can call out via pc, when i push and hold 1 it takes me to enter my pin. It just wont answer when there is an incoming call

Ok so I finally got it working. I deactivated then re-activated, but during the Re-activation it had me put in the *71 + a slightly different number than my GV number. But the voicemail aspect is working now. Im trying to figure out how to make calls through my GV number. when I enter google.com/voice on my phone it says we to to learn this number... Please verify using a desktop. Amd to add it. When I go to settings its already listed as a registered phone. Whats that about?
