Does the tmobile visualvoicemail app not work on the Nexus One and does it cost anything to add visualvoicemail to my account?
Yes, it works, and no, it costs nothing, but you do need to call tmo and tell them to activate it on your account.
i just got off the phone with them and said that i cannot do this because they said "the app does not yet work with N1"
well, it is def working on my n1...i had 2 voice mails that came in on vvm....dont know what to tell you...
i just did a test...and you are correct....however last night when i set it up on my phone...2 old messages came in...however, i just left a voice mail, and it doesnt show up in vvm.....hmmm
I just want to report it works fine for me.
After clicking on voicemail, mine gets stuck in the "connecting to account: screen
I'm using google voice visual Voicemail. Does the t-mobile version do transcribing?
Figured it out. You have to disable Wifi when first activating visual voicemail.
GV is better, but its not pushed. You can set the fetch time as frequent as 5 min, but probably will drain the battery a little more.
How so I setup gv to get my cell vvm?
Google Voice is way better than tmobiles after u run the app on the phone login to voice.google.com and go to settings and it will tell u how to forward your voicemail to it.
Works fine for me, lol. I called them up and asked them to turn it on.
Works fine for me. Make sure you're NOT on WIFI. Tmobile visual voicemail only works over the Tmobile data connection.
Hmmm...can't seem to figure out how to setup gv to pickup my cell's voicemail.

Go to the settings in your GV page. It will explain it. Basically, set GV to Do Not Disturb, and set your phone to forward all unanswered calls to GV. It will automatically go to GV voicemail that way.
Where is the option for the n1 to forward them?

On your GV page, click Settings, and under the phones tab, next to your mobile number, you should see a link to Activate Google voicemail... Click that and pick your carrier, then it will give you the string to enter into your phone to automatically do it.
If you're on T-mobile, you just type *004*1XXXXXXXXXX#, where the X's are your phone number (preceded by a 1).
When I go into the call settings of the n1 and try to select Google voice as the voicemail carrier I get an error.

Read my post again. You don't change anything in the N1's settings! You do it all through your GV page and change the settings there, then simply enter one string of code into your phone to automatically forward all unanswered/unaswerable calls to GV.
Unexpected error occurred when trying to change forwarding settings
I know I know..
I have searched and searched so please dont flame me.
I love this Damage Control ROM.
Everything is perfect with the exception of voicemail.
I have no icon. The only way to check it is to call my cell number and go thru that process. Which is not convieient.
What am I missing? Everything is perfect with that exception.
I am on Sprint if that helps.
Should I update my radio? Mine is stock.
Does it need the newest radio flash to work properly?
Thanks for any help.
none of the 2.1 roms support sprints visual voicemail you need to use google voice or some other app like you mail.
and is it really that hard to to long press on 1 to check your VM?
No offense, But you must have not read or searched hard enough. But the visual voicemail doesnt work with any of the 2.1 roms on sprint.
As far as I know there arent any 2.1 sprint leaks, so no VVM until then.
And to get rid of the notification saying you have one. Just goto Settings -> Call -> Clear Voicemail Notification
I can't even get to my voicemail by dialing my number... how do I get my voicemail through GV?
yes.. you do need to search a little harder...
First..
Find the app "voice".. it has a phone on it.

There is not a fix until the Sprint rom comes out.
I have been using Google Voicemail. It actually works better than sprint visual voicemail. You will also get the transcription with it.

I dont use the handcent as the describe in here but its easy to figure out.
Oh yeah, if you want to use the sprint voicemail by pressing "1" you just have to change your voicemail service, Menu/settings/Call/Voicemail settings and then put your number. You will still get the text of a voicemail with the error but you will know you have voicemail

So I am on 2.2 RC1 and I pushed the sprint core apk to my system/app folder. I was able to get it to work and setup my personal message. In the settings --> call settings I changed it from Google voice to my carrier. I also changed the number to my personal cell phone number. But for some reason when leaving a message it still goes to GV. I even uninstalled Google voice from my phone and left a message same thing. I restarted my phone several times and even clear data from settings, same thing. I also reinstalled the rom in its entirety and still no go. All messages go to GV I always used GV as my voicemail preference but want to give sprint vvm a try. My question to everyone is...
What am I doing wrong?
oops put this under themes not questions, sorry.
Did you have your voice mail set up to go to google voice before (ie *28xxx-xxx-xxxx)? If so, dial *38 on your phone.
login to google account and remove cell # from voice account. fyi,vvm works well by flashing vvm.zip...
Ok, calling *38 worked but my question is what did that do? It just made a noise and hung up on me. If I ever switch back to GV do I have to do the same thing? Thanks for your help I would have never figured it out.

Changing the voicemail settings in your phone back from google voice to my carrier only changes how your phone is setup. Dialing the *38 reroutes the actual voicemail back to your normal sprint mail box. When you dialed that long ass number to setup google voice the first time, *38 just undoes that.
I had the same problem when I went back to VVM last week.
I just installed Google Voice. I'd not called my own phone to go to voice mail before, so I don't know if this is AOSP or google voice, but when I call it rings forever, then it actually calls my phone again, then many rings later it goes to google voice.
All totaled a person has to wait like 18 rings to get to my voicemail. Did I set something up wrong? Is it just not working? Is there a setting somewhere to "retry" before going to voicemail?
Edit: Nevermind, I finally found the golden set of search terms that lead to an answer. In case anyone else needs help: Apparently the way it works is that no answer on your phone forwards to Google Voice. The default settings are basically "forward to my other phones" (Presumably if you miss a call on your cell it could ring your work phone, or whatever.) however it doesn't exclude the originating phone, essentially forwarding to itself. In the advanced settings of the phone there's a "Go straight to voicemail" option.

put the phone down and log into google voice on your computer.. you can enable and disable from there..
thank you for telling me about the google voice settings on my computer, I tried installing the apk, reinstalling the rom, reinstalling the zip,*38, etc.,. Nothing worked until I went to my google voice page and went to the settings menu and uninstalled it thank you, you've saved me alot of grief.
I was trying to set up Google Voice on CM6 to check my voicemail, but when setting it up there was an error saying that my carrier didn't allow this, or something along those lines. How do I fix this?
Thanks.
Once you sign into Google voice, you can then go into call settings and set it. If you've never used Google voice, go on the web version and activate your phone.

If you're on Sprint it just says it can't automatically set it up, you have to do the last steps, but it tells you what to do.
Ok. I set it up on the web. Now when I try calling my phone, after a couple rings it says: "please try again" and doesn't go to any voicemail. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

dial *28 attached to your google voice number, which can be found in settings, call settings, voicemail number.
Tried that again. Still same thing. Doesn't go to voicemail.

i got the same message that sprint doesnt allow google voice to take place over sprint voice mail. i clicked ok and ignored it and its changed to google voice mail system anyway.

Yeh, same here. But it doesn't go to voicemail when I call my phone.
its working fine for me on sprint i just had to do the *28 stuff
I remember when I set up my GV, the *28<number> did not work either. Came across another thread somewhere that suggested a different * number, I want to say it was something like *73 or *78? I did that, and GV works fine now, calls come in, then bounce over to GV after about 6-8 rings.
Another guy having a simmilar problem just requested a different google voice number, and did the usual setup. You could try that if your GV # isn't known to anyone anyway.

I had this problem after the most recent update. I tried everything. Finally someone told me to go into the web page of Gvoice and go to voice settings...and change your number. I changed my number, and then reset everything up and now it works perfectly. Hope that helps!
EDIT: Woops. Didn't read the posts above mine. Sorry!
Since I haven't been able to get my Google Voice set up with this device for some reason, I decided to set up visual voicemail through AT&T's "Messages" app. I had called 611 to figure out why GV wasn't working and the rep pointed me to this app. So far, it seems to work fine EXCEPT it also grabs my text messages and missed calls.
I'd rather not have two notification for every missed call (yes, it pops something in the notification bar for missed calls, as does the standard phone app). At this point, I don't even care which one is going to track them, I just want to turn one of their notifications off! Has anyone figured out a way to do that? Or, alternately, is there another way to access my AT&T visual voicemail without their messages app?

You can set-up google voice here is how to do it.
Go on to google.com/voice and go into settings.
Click activate your phone, and follow the instructions (it will tell you to type in a code on the Dialer).
Then, install the google voice app, and run through the set-up, you will fail on the configuring voicemail steps but thats okay.
Call 611 (ATT Technical support) and have them manually change your voice-mail number to your google voice number.
Done. Enjoy google voice as voicemail. The app will work as intended.

I have Google voice only to be voicemail; I don't currently use it for any calls. It looks like my Voice call-in number is a generic voicemail call-in number (although tbh I haven't tried calling that number to see what happens). Is that the number that I'd give AT&T?
Yes you give them your Google Voice number (you had to set one up when you got google voice)
If you go to https://www.google.com/voice#phones
You should see listed your google voice number, and your phone that you need to activate.

I tried this, and now cannot receive any calls. I think that the number that's shown there is a generic voicemail only mail. Going to try setting up a google voice number and do it again.
Edit to add: OK, I set myself up with a brand spanking new google voice number, had to monkey around on my phone a bit in "call" settings in the settings menu to fix my call forwarding. I repeated the steps, but didn't have to call AT&T again and everything is working goodly now.
I had sprint before I got my One X. Google Voice was set up just fine on that phone, but I want to have it on my One X now.
When I go to www.google.com/voice#phones I see my phone number but the carrier is listed as Sprint. Should I just change it to AT&T? Then run through the app setup? Not sure what to do here...

Did you guys see this topic?

It's the Visual Voicemail app that other android LTE phones use (Vivid, Skyrocket).
Caveat: Since you added att messages, you will need to uninstall it first, and then call AT&T and ask them to revert you to basic voicemail. When you call your voicemail, you notice the voice prompts have changed from before, yes? That switched you to a different VM system incompatible with the old VVM app.
When I called, they switched me to LTE without VVM - i was able to just change from my online account back to regular LTE (with vvm) and install the app and voicemail was all setup and I was ready to go. I'm not sure if asking them to switch you to "old" vvm would work, their system might only show that you have VVM already.
This aforementioned app does voicemails only.
