[Q] Google Voice(mail) and Sprint voicemail - Epic 4G General

So randomly this week I have been getting some VM that comes in from GV and others still come in from sprint.
This is my work phone and the only GVmails have come from people calling from my corporate office, and the others from my area stores.
I didn't set this up and actually like the GVmail as i can just read the email that it sends.
Any help on how to fully setup so all VM come in using google voice? I logged in to my GV account but see not settings to change in there.
thanks

try reinstalling google voice and setting it up to integrate with sprint.... which brings a question how do you remove the annoying "press 1 to answer"?

that's the thing though I don't have GV on my phone installed at all and only use GV for a home number and have never setup GV with my work cell #.
Side note:From what I can remember each time I got mail from GV my phone never rang but got the VM later from GV.

You have to go to Google/voice on your computer and go into settings. I just did that cuz I hated the press 1 to answer also.

Anyone know how to get your Voicemails sent to Google but not your texts.
I have a messaging app for a reason!

ok log in to your google voice account then on the right hand corner there should be a number that says (vocie mail number) click on that and that should take you into your settings

if you don't have you GVmail setup and someone calls your GV number, they will hear it ring a few times, then some silence..
If your settings are default (to screen calls or press 1 to accept the call or something dumb) THEN it adds to the confusion.
I would set up your GVmail w/ a greeting that's appropriate, get your call screening options setup the way you like it (I do not screen unless it's a private caller) Then get your text messaging options setup.
Also they have some cool functionality for voicemail to text or Vmail to email transcription too. It's funny sometimes.. They come up with some weird stuff hahahahaha..
Hope this helps

Anyone here use You Mail on their Atrix?

If so have you got it to work on your phone, I set it up as I did on my Tilt 2 and all seemed fine...
So today I get a voicemail and I dial my You Mail number and it says I have no messages
So I then call my number to be brought to the att voicemail box and my message is waiting in here
Any insight would help
Mine isnt having issues. Just tried it to be sure. Sounds like for some reason your att mailbox is in use now. Try resetting up youmail maybe?
I'm having the same problem
I set up YouMail but all my voicemails are still going to my old voicemail box. When I first installed it, it seemed to work fine and it downloaded some messages. But now all new messages go to the old voicemail box. Do anybody have any ideas?
i stumbled across (you mail) last night, got excited installed it, went to register and of course gotta have a US number for it to work. yet again Canadians no go.
EDIT: sorry for the rant. it has nothing to do with your questions, just saw the post and decided to reply.
I had to change the numbers in the call forwarding section of the phone settings. Did the same in the voicemail settings. Now when I push and hold "1" it dials YouMail.

This did not work I got

You'll need to set it manually go to settings -> call settings -> call forwarding
You'll change: when busy, unanswered, unreachable

it's crazy... mine works, but i never set it up. i was using it on my iPhone 4, then started using the wp7 for a little bit and it was going to youmail. then i switched to my atrix and it continues to work w/o having to set it up again.
i'm guessing the quick code above changed my deposit number in at&t's system.
for the record: i did set it up on my i4, but haven't had to on any phone after.
Unless your call forwarding gets changed it should keep working.

Google Voice Minor Issues?

From the first moment I started the phone and booted up Voice, I've had some small issues. I'm posting here to see if anyone else has had similar issues.
When I was setting up Voice I received a message that the "forwarding number change [was] unsuccessful". I haven't noticed any particular issues resulting from this, but still, it was disconcerting. You can check to see of you have the same issue by going to Settings > Call Settings > Voicemail Settings (if you are using voice) > and then click on your phone number.
The second issue is that the ringtone is stuck as the defualt beeping noise that the phone makes on shutdown... This is when people call me on my voice number. Ringtones for contacts calling my AT&T number are working fine.
I'd love to hear if anyone else is experiencing this, and especially if you found a fix!
Thanks.

did you go to google.com/voice from a PC and change your settings there? When I first got my Atrix, the Google Voice was set up for my Nexus One and didn't work (even after configuring) on my Atrix. So I had to tell it I had a different phone, it gave me a number with hash symbols (#) to punch in the dialer and hit "call". this then forwarded my number to google voice for use with voicemails. I now have no issues with Google Voice... well, I have one issue. The proximity sensor doesn't turn off the screen when I put the phone up to my ear to listen to a voicemail like it did on my Nexus One.
I ran into the same issue when setting up about the number unsuccessful, but I went into phone options in settings and manually changed the carrier. I havent had any other issues, all notifications are instant and I have a custom ringtone.

It's amazing! It's the best way to get Visual Voicemail on an Android device and it's free. To be honest if it wasn't for this app, I would have stayed with my iphone as giving up visual voicemail was a no go for me and the other apps on the market for it were not to my liking.
Once you set it, it will alert you when a voicemail comes in and also transcribe it for you. Aside from that you can even have it send an e-mail to you when voicemail comes in, you can also use voice to make calls, send texts, and much more. Best of all, it's free!
@OP: Mine did the same thing, but I haven't had any issues. If you are getting delays in the notifications, load up google voice and go to settings. From settings make sure "synchronize inbox" and "background data" are enabled.
So I got it but it keeps saying forward voice mail unsucsesful any ideas

Thanks--this is the answer. I too came from a Nexus One and I didn't change any of the settings at first. I had to delete my old forwarding number (which requires another forwarding number to be on the profile), and then make a new forwarding number profile (for my Atrix). This fixed my different ringtone issue as well. Took a few tries and wasn't as smooth as I would have liked, but I got it working--I wasn't doing well without my GV!!
Im routing my calls through voice but every once in a while a lady says "this call is now being recorded". I didn't hit anything. It seems random. Any ideas?

Google Voice as primary VM

Don't know if it's working for anyone else, or if anyone else has tried it, but Google Voice is working for me as of last night. Ported number without having to terminate my contract, and is now my primary VM. If it hasn't been working for others yet you should go ahead and try it
Wait, you can port your sprint number to gv now? How did I miss that news!?!

But he said he did it, so somebody want to go see if you can port in your gv account? I'm not home right now.
Edit: just did it on my phone...got to the part that said it was portable for $20...I think doing that would still cancel my number with sprint, then they'd charge me the etf.

I think they may be testing it out. Maybe the OP is in the test?
I'm pretty sure Porting will cancel your contract with Sprint. They are setting up Google Voice to use our Sprint numbers, but I haven't checked on the status of it yet. I hope OP didn't screw himself tonight.
I'll keep my current settings... Voicemail goes over to the VM number I have, I can use the Voice app to manage it (plus my PC). I'm good for now.
I've been using it as my primary VM. It works good, except that when I get a voice mail, I get the VM notification, an email from gmail and a text message at the same time....

im still not sure i understand how this is going to be different. so now i use gv with my sprint number and all i can do is get voice mails, manage it online and get transcribed voice mails (as well as the sms and email notifications i have turned off)
so with the upcoming system will i be bale to do everything i could do with a GV number with my sprint number?

Correct. Google will just switch your current google voice number with your sprint number. So now when people call your sprint number it will ring your computer, other phones and your Sprint phone.
You can block numbers from google voice so when people call your Sprint number they get a, "This number is out of service."
You can text people from the computer and it shows up as your Sprint number.
Customized voice mail greetings for each person if you want.
I think everything in explained in this thread about all the options you now have.
Currently they are slowly rolling it out to everyone.
ah ok thanks

Google Voice my new Messaging app? G-Voice Integration

So, I recently activated the Google Voice + Sprint integration and certain things about it are absolutely awesome. My only gripe with it is that all text messages are now coming in to my G-Voice app and ignoring the default messaging app on my phone. I can reply from my Messaging app and it shows up in G-Voice but new texts that come in skip the Messaging app completely.
Has anyone found a way around this behavior? G-Voice app is a nice-enough messaging client, but by no means ideal.
That's the reason I de-integrated.
There is a fix I will post back when I'm at a computer.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
not an expert, in fact, i use my evo as a wifi device only. But im somewhat certain that you can edit these settings while you are logged on to google voice on a computer.
don't need to integrate to use GV...been using GV as my voice mail forever!!
Only issue is that you will have to maintain two different numbers...your Sprint number and your GV number.
Set up you can set up your GV as your voicemail...by having conditional call forwarding on your phone. Do believe I set it up thru Sprint directly...having the call forwarded to my GV number if the phonecall goes unanswered. From there the rules are set thru GV as to which outgoing message to play depending on what number is calling.
Haven't had a problem with getting voicemail at all.
Messaging can still be done thru your sprint number (using your or whichever messaging app) and you can still txt using GV (but it'll be thru your GV number)
Um in the Google voice app in setting u can tell it too send sms as a text to your phone. Doing it right now and turned off Google voice notifications for sms
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
All you need to do is go into the Google Voice application, go to Menu, Settings, Sync And Notifications, and take the check out of the send text message box.
Next.
Log into your Google Voice account on your computer and then click on teh gear icon in the top right hand corner of the page to go into your Google Voice Setting.
Click on the Voicemail Tab and then under the section "Voicemail Notifications" take the check out of both boxes.
You will now no longer receive text messages when you get a voicemail on Google Voice, but you will receive a notification on your phone just like Spring VVM use to do.
Hope that helps.
I think you guys are missing the point. There is no way to separate sms from GV after the integration. You can enable the standard sms app on your cell phone via the online GV settings. Problem with that is you will get 2 notifications from every text received - one from GV and one from the sms app. There is no way to remove notifications from the GV app for sms only.
To make use of the stock sms app on your phone log into GV online, then goto settings> phones> and click edit under your number, then select send texts to this phone. Still you have the issue I noted above.
No you don't. First you change the GV via your browser as you instructed. Then, in your GV phone application you uncheck All boxes in the Sync and Notifications section of the Settings. My phone is behaving as it used to prior to integration. I feel that it is important to integrate in case I want to use my number on someone else's phone, internationally, etc.

Yes, the same way Sprint's VVM currently does, I'm doing this now on CM7, Google Voice is integrated to work that way, when I get a voice mail I don't get an SMS or an email, it just notifies me on my phone in the notification area, does this on a standard EVO rom also.
Just follow the directions I laid out and it will work fine, I've tested it.

Oh, so it notifies you via text. that's still kinda annoying. Yiu have to open the text to find out you have a vm, and then open GV to get the vm. I just turned off notifications in my sms app instead. That way sms goes to high the sms app and GV, but I'm only notified by GV.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I understand your gripe .... I found it rather annoying as well, so I went a different route and removed GV all together.
When I thought about it there was no point to having it. Instead, I go into the GV app, and select to forward SMS to my phone. I then tell GV to forward VM notifications to my email account. Basically it's the same net result: a email is sent with the transcribed message and a link to play back the voice mail. As a final fix, I made sure the messages went to Gmail so I could tag them and thus easily filter my voice mail.
I would love if GV could notify of voice-mails only ... that way SMS would get forwarded to my SMS app without appearing to get received twice, but I couldn't find an easy way to do that. The other method of turning off all notifications ends up sending a text notification which is not as clean to me IMO.

Can I ask why you think google voice is a voip that,last sentence you have reads like you have no idea what this service is about.
Google voice will not make calls over 3g it will send sms over 3g but only.in.the app you can have sms sent to you just like you always have and not need to use the google voice app.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It's clunky because I have to open the email, then click the link to download the voice message as an attachment via the web browser, and then open the attachment, which is played with the music app. It's clunky when it takes 3 apps to do what can be easily done with one app.

[GUIDE] How to get "classic" google visual vm back after sprint integration

Ok so I orginally thought the idea of GV integration with sprint was awesome...after fiddling with it. I was very disappointed.
The problems I had with it were...I dont want to use my GV number as my primary. I dont want to change my GV number to my cell number. Each option had issues that I felt needed to be addressed. Changing my GV number to my cell made it to where txt would be comming into my phone via gv app. Yes there is a work around but ita annoying and I dont want my text stored on line. I also didnt want to change my gv number, this to me sounds like it could be a bad idea at some point in time, and cause other issues. So I set out how to get classic google voice back with the new app that will not let you just use it for vm heres how i did it, now I know this affects the Nexus S 4G with the version of GV they include...however the market version does seem to be different.
Option 1 (For Rooted Phones)
1) Use Titanium backup or some other root explorer to delete the stock voice apk, then reboot recovery and wipe dalvik
2) Once back inside the rom download voice from the market as that version doesnt seem to suffer from the ****ty options that are stock on the phone
Option 2 (The proper way for rooted and non rooted phones)
1) Launch GV app on phone, and sign in, when it ask choose to change your gv number to your cell number.
2) Get annoyed and go get a shot of vodka, and wait about 15 minutes (honestly because you wont be able to change it back for at least 15 minutes.)
3) Login to gv on the web (voice.google.com)
4) once in there click the gear, and pick voice settings. Under the phone area choose to disable the sprint port number (your google voice number). It will disable and revert back to your old gv number
5) Where you mobile number is at you should see enable google voice mail for this line. Click that, and follow the instructions.
6) Click on voice mail and text uncheck email message and send sms.
7) on your phone open gv, goto more then settings make sure it says. Making calls do not use gv to make calls. make sure this phones number is your actual mobile number adjust sync options as you wish and make sure My gv number is indeed your gv number.
8) DO NOT SIGN OUT OF THE APP (Im not sure what will happen but my guess is it will break)
9) Edit your voice mail settings under call settings and change your vm settings to GV from "My Carrier" and make sure your GV number is in there.
Options: Now if you dont want to use the gv app at all you can have gv send you an sms or an email instead or manually check your voice mail by phone.
Enjoy
I kinda did this a different way but not as elegant. I used root manager to remove google voice. I might have used root manager to remove the data too but I can't recall. I rebooted. Then I tried downloading google voice again. I think it installed. I tried running it and there was a problem. I uninstalled it. Then installed it again. That must have flushed out all the references to the program that I missed. Ran the program, signed in, chose let me choose to use google voice for every call. Then I clicked the link for conditional call forwarding and hit send. It's *28(google voice number with area code) then send. After that I hit back until I got back to the gv setup. I chose skip then next then I think I was done. It's working now the old way. Separate numbers and google voice for voicemail.

Can you explain what this workaround is? I'm not too thrilled with how the GV app handles SMS either.
The most annoying thing about this is the app options seems useless for configuration purposes. You really have to configure this through the web to work right.
After I first set it up and tested a voice mail I got
An email, an MMS, and a notification bar alert from GVM app itself even though in the app I had the first two disabled.. Finally got it down to just a notification bar alert from the GVM app only after configuring through the web. It's stupid that by default it lets you know THREE different ways you have a damn voice mail.
I love it!
My texts come to my phone just as they are supposed to and since I turned off notifications in GV app I don't get notifications in the app. I get emails and texts telling me of voice messages just like before. Yes the app still receives text messages and stores them online, but I see this as a plus since txt is mainly how I communicate and my job has me working in a lot of places with internet access but no cell coverage. win win in my book.
To get texts sent to your phone you have to check the little box in your settings that says "Receive text messages on this phone (mobile phones only)"
It took me a while to messing around to get everything set up, but I'm liking it now.
I use option 2 (GV number in place of cell number). It works flawlessly. I have had no issues. For me this was easy because I made people use my GV # as my primary number years ago. It just takes a little time an patience getting all your friends and family to use the GV #, but once its done its the best move you'll ever make.

It doesn't have to handle sms. Check that little checkbox and the sms will be delivered to your phone like they were before. Then go into GV app and turn off notifications.
Nice guide. Well since my Nexus is stock and I couldn't stand how broken gv and sprint are together I wanted it to go back to go it was.
That is to say, texts and voicemails come through notifications by the Google voice app and texts sent to my mobile number come through the default messaging app. That's how its supposed to be.
It's quite easy to do, in settings for Google voice in your phone turn off all notifications and inbox synchronization. Basically nothing should be checked. Then in the web go to your Google voice settings and under phones next to your mobile number click on "disable Google voice on your sprint phone".
That should make everything normal again. Hope that helps. I don't see the point of what sprint and Google were trying to do here. The Google voice app works just fine the way it is. Don't mess with a good thing.

I think the folks asking, like myself, are looking for slightly more detail.
After rooting around for the setting mentioned I found it.
1. Log in to Google Voice online
2. Click on the little gear in the upper right hand corner to access Options
3. Click on Voice Settings
4. On the Phones tab under "Forward calls to" click on the Edit button for your Google Voice enabled mobile phone
5. Where it says "Text Settings" check the box for "Receive text messages on this phone (mobile phones only)"
This should send texts to your phones SMS app rather than through the Google Voice app.
Hope this saves others some time searching.
My biggest pet peeves were:
1. Incoming messages from the same sender would sometimes create multiple threads inside of Google Voice.
2. SMS messages received from contacts that were not stored in Google account (i.e. corporate account) would commonly show up from a telephone number versus a name.
3. SMS messages initiated from Google Voice would not show up as threads until they were responded to.
4. Messaging application was rendered useless bloatware.
5. I don't want/need Google Voice to archive 300 - 500 text messages a day.
The entire thing is a cluster____.... I've never quite seen something so utterly stupidly organized and launched like this..
How long does it take it so when someone calls my number they hear my Sprint voicemail message instead? I just called my number and it's still going to the Google voice system. It's not activated just checked as my mobile phone but NOT intergrated anymore.

I think the folks asking, like myself, are looking for slightly more detail.
After rooting around for the setting mentioned I found it.
1. Log in to Google Voice online
2. Click on the little gear in the upper right hand corner to access Options
3. Click on Voice Settings
4. On the Phones tab under "Forward calls to" click on the Edit button for your Google Voice enabled mobile phone
5. Where it says "Text Settings" check the box for "Receive text messages on this phone (mobile phones only)"
This should send texts to your phones SMS app rather than through the Google Voice app.
Hope this saves others some time searching.

Brotha -I was about to go insane out of my mind -and then I read this. Thanks. I thought I looked at every possible setting -but there is always a button that eludes you.
Then I had to stop the double notifications bc I was getting my text message on my phone and my text in google voice. So on my phone in GV settings I Un-checked "Inbox notifications"
I was really excited about GV integration - now I wish that Sprint would have left it alone. It really is a big mess to get it to do what you want.

Thanks for the info, this is exactly what I was looking for.
I hope Sprint and Google work something out with this.. If XDA members are scratching their heads how to make this work like they want imagine how a regular novice user must feel.
The Sprint/Google intergration and its current method of "configuring" (ie dice rolling) reminds of some half assed business solution some unknown outside firm was paid to write.
I didn't have to root or uninstall. Just download google voice from the market and let it overwrite the existing installation.

This worked for me also (unrooted), but I updated before I ever opened voice. Does it work after the fact

Yeah I just plain old updated and the settings went back to the old ones.
