Hi,
I have searched this and other threads for an answer but couldn't find one. Hence the post.
I ported my number over to ATT from Sprint (on which GV was working like a charm).
On ATT Note, when I install GV, I don't get the compose message icon. Nor do I get any voice mails. All my voice mails go to the ATT mailbox. I setup GV the same way as I did on the Evo. I even went to Google Settings and I see my phone number listed there.
Has anyone come across this?
If so, could you please help me out here?
Thanks,
V
When you log into the google voice site does it show Sprint or ATT as your carrier?
if you add the google voice widget it should work..there is a GV toggle widget and there is a full widget that you can read your voicemails and also has a compose button on top right corner..
hope this helps!

When I go to configure voicemail service and choose GV, it gives me a confirm box with an error message saying "Change to new provider?". When I click yes, I get a dialog box which says "Forwarding number change failed"
I'll give the widget a try. Thank you.
Update: The widget didn't have a compose button either
i think you have to reset the voice calls on a pc ..not sure ..sorry i cant help..

No worries. I'll keep looking around and update this post when I get it working.
Go online and deactivate the device. Once that's done, launch the APK and setup like normal.

Mine is working perfectly on the note, but try removing the number from your voice account and delete the app, then reinstall and setup like normal. IIRC there is a confirmation text or something too. If you ported your number from sprint, that may be why it's giving you problems because sprint has the integrated system and at&t is straight forwarding/app.
I did get the same error message when setting up voicemail, but when I went back in to the voicemail settings on the phone, I was able to select it and get forwarding active. Also, in addition to the full widget, you can setup a shortcut toggle to use voice for all calls/international only, etc

If the above solutions do not work, try opening the stock dialer and enter *004*googlevoicenumber#. That's what I had to do.

I had a lot of trouble setting up mine also. I eventually just set up the forwarding manually through call settings. Works fine but I received the same error during setup but works fine anyway.
U was having the same issues. Turned out AT&T Messages was blocking access to forwarding. I called AT&T customer service and had then reset my voicemail settings, and Google Voice starting working the next phone call!
Messages tries to take over every time it runs, so I rooted the Note and deleted it and other Bloatware.

Upgraded from Evo to 3D this morning, obviously loving it. However, since integrating Google Voice on the 3D, it is processing all my text messages. I would rather use Chomp as I did before. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling as well as reintegrating without any luck. I sent to the voice site and tried to modify some settings but no joy.
I'd like to keep voice for the cheap international calls, any one else suffering this or find a fix? Cheers.
Ok this has been answered quite a few times. But go to your app and hit menu > more > Settings > Sync and Notifications > Check Text Messages and uncheck Inbox notifications.
Unchecking Inbox notifications will keep google voice from telling you about the text but it'll still be saved there. The only downside is that it won't notify you of voicemails. I leave the widget on my screen to show them to me instead. Google was supposed to update the app so we can turn off text notifications but leave on voicemail notifications but they haven't yet.
Thanks for taking the time to write a response. I'm not sure what's happening as I don't have that option, even after redownloading the latest version of Voice from the Market. When I go to menu > more > Settings > Sync and Notifications, under Notifications, I have Text Messages (notify via text message) which is unchecked, followed by inbox notificatoins, vibrate, light and select ringtone. That's all the options there are. I can't unselect text as you mentioned, grr, slightly frustrating, the google text interface looks like it's plucked from the 80s.
Re-read, will play around with "inbox notifications" - currently chomp doesn't even notify, even though it's set to, so I think using this option, I won't ever get notifed. Thanks again.
Uninstall it and reinstall it - when you get to the first option to SKIP! DON'T DO IT.
Google royally ****ed up a good thing here. If you don't skip then things will work as they before the iPhone style takeover.
Appreciate the advice, I didn't skip, I've installed twice and gone thru each step, I'll try again, disabled notifications in Voice, but Chomp's notification ability is not ruined. Grr - why did they change, worked so well on the Evo up til yesterday!! The text engine is a joke, should be an easy option to switch it off.

I went through this problem on my og EVO. Turns out you need to change a setting on the desktop ver of voice. For some reason Google decided to uncheck the "get texts on this number" I don't remember where the setting is but dig a bit, you'll find it. Uninstalling the app does nothing

You have to skip the whole Sprint and Google Voice integration. That's what screws everything up.

Yes its the sprint and google integration thats messing everything up. When I got my phone this morning it went ahead and switched over my sprint number to GV and I was getting txt through the GV app. I deactivated the integration and now it works as before. I just dont get any txt notification when I get a txt sent to my GV number which sucks.

I tried the integration, it worked great for voicemail, but i didnt want Voice to handle my texts - they cant take MMS. I couldnt find anyway to let the phone handle SMS - so I undid the integration...
I have GV+Sprint integration (carried over from integration on Pre-). I took the OTA & all updates.
This was pissing me off so bad. I want to use the app to listen to voicemails, but not for sending/receiving SMS. So here's what I did to keep the Voice app from hijacking the SMS inbox notifications:
Voice>menu > more > Settings > Sync and Notifications
Synchronize Inbox: UNchecked
Background Data: Enabled
Text messages: Checked
now my text messages (including MMS!) still go to the stock messaging app. I still get SMS/VM notifications from the Voice app periodically, but i just clear the SMS ones & listen to the VM ones.
Trying out this combo now though:
Voice>menu > more > Settings > Sync and Notifications
Synchronize Inbox: Checked
Background Data: Enabled
Text messages: Checked (confirmed warning)
Inbox notifications: UNchecked

Then by all means please share with us how to properly set it up. I'm new to this integration as I was predominantly using my T-Mobile and Verizon dealer lines since a bit before they launched this integration and I had the same issue so I too uninstalled the integration. I liked the idea tho. But all of a sudden Google Voice was handling all my messages and they WEREN'T hitting my phones inbox.
To put it simply, Fail.
So please, instead of just telling us we did it wrong, how about telling us how you achieved perfect harmony in spirit of honoring what this forum is about. Helping each other.
I didn't want to read through the previous flames, but if it didn't get answered already you need to go directly to google.com/voice and adjust the settings manually. You have to disable integration, from there you can add a new number, type in your current number and it will tell you you have options to select from, choose google voice lite for voicemail only. I'd get more specific but I cant access the site from here.

Alot of us are using google voice for our voicemail services just fine. I have been since the moment I got my Evo 4G.
Honestly, I think its the best. I do the vast majority of my texting during the day from the computer now. And with chrome + the GV extension, I can check, reply or create from a tiny icon, and not even have to open the GV page.

That is exactly it. I removed my number from the google site then clicked on update my account. Chose to use my mobile number, then chose the light version which only handles VM and no other feature's. Reinstalled it on my phone and all is good to go like it used to be.
Now I just wish spare parts battery option would work I can see if GV has any wakelock issues.
Just wanted to write this up real fast and hopefully help a few people. I myself, coming from the EVO, did it also. Ya know, just pressing the "next" button and not paying attention to what I was actually hitting next to. I have seen quite a few people and threads about this so hopefully this helps. I had to dig around for answers, lol.
If you were just pressing next, next, next like I was, you will have found yourself with Google Voice taking over your texts and phone calls. And I did not like it at all. When my phone rang, I had to answer and press 1 to accept the call. WTH is that? Anyway, to get it back right you will need to log on to your computer to google.com/voice. In the top right hand corner you will see the settings button (where the arrow is pointing) and click on voice setting. Select the phone tab. Uncheck the boxes that Google has registered your numbers and integrated and you will be good to go. Uninstall and re-install Google Voice if you would like without hitting the integration button on the first step. Hopefully Google will change this soon.
EDIT: Read down with the next few posts, a lot of good info that has been said.

I did the same thing too. I was so upset they ****ed up Google Voice this way. I mean integration is nice, but NOT taking over my text messaging app and phone number etc.
Once I figured out what I had done I was able to get it to work NORMALLY as in before Google screwed **** up. I do hope that Google fixes this "Apple Takeover" crap.
Just FYI - any changes made with Google Voice will reflect as account changes in Sprint.com now.
Or take the time and set it up right and enjoy the awesomeness only Google voice integration on Sprint can give you.
Here is a post of mine I did before with links.
I love Google Voice integration. I've posted these links in other threads but they are good reads on why you are better off actually integrating and how to still use your default messaging apps.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...e-integration-i-did-it-and-heres-how-it-went/
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ice-sprint-integration-questions-and-answers/
Here are some other cool things I'm able to do now myself. I can make outbound and inbound calls on my google talk using my cell number on my computer wherever I have internet access. I bought an OBI110 and hooked up a phone to it so now I have free VOIP calls whenever I answer or receive calls to my CELL number on this phone. Now I don't have to give anyone a different number and I can still control who gets to reach me at what time of the day. I can answer and receive texts on my computer, laptop, tablet all using my cell number. All my texts are backed up and searchable to my google voice account (even texts I send from my phone using one of the regular messaging apps, not google voice app)
My opinion. Take the time and setup integration right. It's one MAJOR advantage of being an Android user on Sprint now. You're missing out on way more by not setting it up than you would by setting it up.
Oh and for those who don't want to lose your old Google Voice Number, Google lets you keep additional numbers at $20 per number.

Well I think for me, and many others, it wasn't the same set up as when I set it up for the Evo or whatever phone the user had. Yes we should have read and paid attention more closely, but the fact is we didn't and I'm sure there will be plenty more also. Thank you for the info and links, very interesting

I almost did the same thing when I was setting up the app. I think they shouldve gone about putting that option in there a different way. If you're just going through it quick and pressing next you're screwed.
Off to check out those links... I tinkered with GV for hours trying to only use it for voicemail and use my stock or handcent for SMS/MMS. I kind of got it to work until I put the GV widget up to see the transcribed voicemail. The widget ended up displaying the SMS!
Finally I said screw it. Ditched the Sprint integration and setup a new number from some far away prefix. Now its great, GV for voicemail and stock or handcent for SMS/MMS.
Until GV can handle MMS and have SMS popups with screen off, I'm not using it except for phone call management.
thanks for the links.
can HTC install a trackball on this thing?
In order to continue to receive text messages to your handset's Messaging app, you have to check "Receive text messages on this phone" under the Google Voice online phone settings.
I don't mind it now
I like the way Google voice is integrated, what i hated was the call screening. I finally was able to get to a computer and fix that problem and fix my text message problem as well. I use handcent, so i turn off the notification but kept the pop-up so i don't receive two notifications but i still have the pop-up i like for quick response.
Like already said, log into your Google voice account and mess with the settings until you get it how you want it. you can allow text to be received on your phone and you can turn off the call screening.
I didn't notice this until people started asking "where are you?" and "what phone are you using?"
I was like... uhhh..... my cellphone...? "Well its a weird number."
Walked into Sprint, asked what I did and the girl looked at me kind of weird. Eventually it clicked (I smacked myself in the head) and we figured out what it was (after two hard resets). She let me use her computer quick and we disabled it.
I like how it took over the phone, but without support for MMS/ picture messaging, I don't wanna use it.
Like many others, all I want GV to do is handle my voicemail. Unfortunately, GV wants to take over my life. I set the flag "Allow SMS on the phone" but they still went to GV. I've actually had to log out of GV in order to get my SMS in the messaging app on my phone. GRRR!
Use full GV integration, use your sprint number as your GV number, do NOT install the GV app, then setup it correctly on the website and you will have SMS, MMS and picture messaging just fine. (FROM your cell phone only, can't send MMS from GV website or any other phone you link)
It doesn't do MMS/Picture messaging if you choose "option 2", use your GV as your sprint. Also, if you do option 2, sprint can't give you the unlimited mobile to mobile because the database uses prefixes to sort which are mobile, and GV numbers show as landlines.
So, yes, if you do your integration correctly, you get your sprint number, GV features, MMS, SMS. GV voicemail, etc.

this is a problem by the app. Everytime you install the app it unchecks the receive text notifications. So anytime you sign out and sign back in the app (which should be rarely) you have to go back and recheck that option.

That incorrect, option 2 still allows for any mobile to ANY mobile. If you go to your google account on the web and your phone number says "sprint integrated" sprint servers know now to include this number as part of your plan for incoming and outgoing. Only difference is mms WILL have you original number, but both numbers are optimized for your plan.

You can send them to your email, or have them come in as text notifications.
Since I switched 2 phone over we've used zero minutes on our plan, except for the any mobile to any moible minutes, this seems more than enough reason to stay using it and not care about the quirks. It means I can drop to a lower plan and save money!
Using the google voice app for texts isn't that bad. Now that I'm used to it I like how everything is sorted by time received and then grouped into conversations, plus voicemail thrown into there. Its a one stop shop.It is great for work, we use just our personal cell phones for communication, I only have to check one place.
Call screening was the first thing I turned off, it was such a horrible idea. It's like they forgot we had that newfangled fancy thing called caller id on our phones.

I stopped that issue way before I bought an E3D. I used it on the OG Evo for seperating calls by dishing out Google number instead of my real cell number. Its kind of annoying how Google voice works though. I kind of see it as a privacy issue especially when it comes to texts and voicemail. Open your eyes people. Google isn't are cell phone company, so why give out such privacy.... To each is own.
My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
i set mine up manually instead of the quick integration step. GV is my voicemail and i use my regular number to make calls and text. if i need to text or call using my GV number, i have a widget to to do that.
Yea once I re installed google voice and is asked permission to take over my voice mail I exited out then went back into the beginning and selected to skip integration. I am not interested in google taking over my sprint matters as well.
Maybe I'm an idiot but I can't figure it out. I'm new to Google voice.. I'm trying to use it for my voicemails but when I go through the setup it tells me my carrier doesn't support this feature..

I did try the voicemail feature once but had to logon to my google account from my pc. It apparently set up some sort of forwarding option and i had to call some google phone number to check my voicemails.
I've been using it for Voicemail only since i've owned the original Droid. Works fine on my thunderbolt. Setup just had to dial a number to forward my voice mail and that was it. I'm on stock rooted. ROM bug maybe?

i came to post this. set it up from your PC then set google voice on your phone to control voice mail. that's all it takes.
U don't get to make free calls, just free text messaging. Also when u make calls it changes ur number. Say u call ur mom and her number is 123 5555555, but when u look at bill it will say I made the call but it won't show her number, shows the number google made up.

Add gv # to friends and family. Use gv callback. Done. Free.
I've tried several times to switch from ATT voicemail service to GV and it fails, even after rooting (not sure that matters, but ).
It (GV) shows up as an option, but attempts to switch fail.

I had to manually enter the codes into the handset. Not sure why it didn't work automatically, but it is easy to do manually. Just go to google voice in your browser then under settings there is an activate google voice on this phone link which gives you the correct things to dial in order to set it up.
I just made the switch to Google voicemail after I couldn't get AT&T's visual voicemail to work on the phone. Had to enter all the forwarding numbers manually as above.
In the GV app there is an option to integrate voicemail into the system dialer (View and play voicemails from the call log). That particular feature doesn't seem to be supported by the HTC dialer app, only by AOSP dialers. Does anyone know of a workaround or a way to get this integrated?

In the GV app there is an option to integrate voicemail into the system dialer (View and play voicemails from the call log). That particular feature doesn't seem to be supported by the HTC dialer app, only by AOSP dialers. Does anyone know of a workaround or a way to get this integrated?

Bummer. Hopefully we'll see an AOSP ROM soon ...

yeah I also couldn't get mine to work. I set the numbers manually in the Call Forwarding section of the phone
Can someone post a step by stop on how to switch google voice? I'm sure a bunch of users other than me would like a foolproof guide.
Which visual voicemail are you guys talking about? Have you tried this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018018
or are you talkin about the one that comes stock on the phone? This will work, you just have to call ATT and have them make sure Visual Voice mail is provisioned for your account. It is not there by default. THe stock ATT messages app (which has a crappy VVM) doesnt require additional provisions, but the VVM.apk above does. Here is another thread in the regular ATT HOX forum that has more info. I've tried both, and the VVM is way better than google voice. It's worth the time to call ATT, maybe more than once, to get VVM working. I ended up calling 3 times. Low level customer support does not have a clue..Once i got to a real tech, they had it done in 45 seconds. Hope this helps. Good luck!
Anybody able to set up Google Voice for voice messaging? Keep getting error messages "failed to retrieve and save current forwarding number settings"

I got it to work by setting it up online at www.google.com/voice. Just go to settings and follow the link to Activate Voicemail. Then back on the device, check off Google Voice in the settings and quickly hit the home button. That should make it work.
This worked for me. To be clear, at the point of choosing voicemail service in call settings, choose Google voice, then hit the home key, NOT yes.

I tried this, but I can't make the notifications to work. Has anyone been able to do it?
I'm able to get callers to get to my Gvoicemail but I also get no notifications or integration into the android phone app...
