I'm now to the android scene,andsoup. so far I think it's pretty cool. But one disturbing thing about the optimus is the way it handles voicemail. The is no visual voicemail integrated into the dialer, using a separate app sucks- especially when it's an att app that doesn't seem to load.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for that?

It's not built into the dialer, but Google Voice is a solution that loads and works well. It also tries to transcribe and emails those transcriptions to you
Google Voice also has an option to display your voicemails in the call log screen.

I'm using the ATT app and it works flawlessly.

I've been using PF Voicemail + on my old GS2 with good success and over the few days I've had my OG it has worked just as well. It also transfered my old messages and missed call log when I made the switch as a bonus. Not sure if that was the app, or the result of TiBu. Either way, no issues I can see so far on the OG.

So I like the Google Voice integration, I guess. Want to set it up for voicemail only and use Handcent fir text. Doesn't seem to work, or I can't figure it out. Don't want text messages in Google Voice. Anybody know the secret?

Yes the text thing is pissing me off. I just want voicemail as well.
I think you can shut the text messaging portion off in your account settings(on the computer...not on the phone)

LOL happened to me too. You have to sign in from a computer I think and "un" port the number. Reinstall Google voice and the first thing I think it asks is if u want to do the Sprint/Google voice integration or skip it for normal Google voice services. You need to skip that part and install like u usually do.
The part u do on the computer I'm not 100% about. I only did it once but i believe I found this info on MIUI.us in the EVO section.

Just turn off syncing in Google Voice. I get the voicemail forwarded to my SMS and then check the GV app manually.

That worked. Had to unassociate my number and go back to my default Google Voice number on the website. Wasn't easy to figure out. Should be a way to just opt out of text.

i couldnt get google voice to work for the life of me. it was "setup" and working but when people would call me they would get the voicemail greeting i left for carrier voicemail. it would never go to google voice. i redownloaded YouMail as i used it once before and its been working. sucks because i really liked google voice.
Just a thought...
Did you goto, menu, settings, call and change voicemail from "my carrier" to "google voice"?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
how do I make it so that holding 1 on the dialer calls my gv voicemail?
Why would you ever have to call your googe voicemail box? It sends them to the app on your phone. Try saving your voicemail number as speed dail one.

I have a verizon note 2 and my visual voicemail just hasnt been working correctly for awhile. I can't seem to get google voice setup can anyone give me a hand? Idk where the setting for voicemail provider is and whenever I get voice mails it still goes to my verizon one. I also got some error telling me it couldnt be configured

This will setup to google. Then open google voice. Follow the prompts. When it ask you to configure do it. In call settings under voice mail change it to google voice. It will say some error do it anyway. It must say voicemail changed. If it didn't click voicemail again in the settings and select *86. Then select google voice. If it just spins and doesn't say voicemail changed then all good. Reboot device. When it reboots go back into voicemail settings and tap google voice again and it should say voicemail changed.
I have,setup google voice on countless devices over the,past few years and this always works for me. 0 issues. Even after flashing a new Rom I continue to do the same steps above and never have voice mail issues on Verizon. I hope this helps you.

Also if it doesn't work for you I am getting my note 2 Mon or tues and I will do it and outline better details. My wife has a gs3 and this worked first try on hers. All Verizon phones will throw,an error but it will change. The key is when you see a box pop up that says voicemail changed you know it worked.
Thank you. I got it goinf there now im not getting voicemail notifications.

You might have to go into Google voice on your desktop and disable and re-enable(activate) your phone number.

Not sure what you mean by the default greeting but there are, or used to be as I haven't looked in at least a year, all kinds of settings in voice.google.com. You can also call your Google Voice number from your phone and then use the touch tone menu.

My workaround may be a little cumbersome but im glad its helping.
I managed to get Google voice to work with the MMS app with the app GV integration, but it's really hit and miss. Sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't, and it slows the device down. Is there a better way to combine GV and the MMS app? I have tried every texting app but none are as fast and simple as the stock MMS app. Any suggestions?
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
I'm also trying to get this figured out. I used the GV Integration app as well, however it doesn't work in Android 4.2.2, so it isn't an option anymore. Right now, I'm using Messaging + Google Voice, which is very similar to the stock app, however, it doesn't have that nice pop-up box like the stock one.
Well its working for me but I get no notifications in the stock sms app. I think it might be because the app is not in the actual /system/app folder. I would find out by moving it but I don't know where jackpot has the system apps installed to.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
Well I found the parent app for sms and tried moving to system/app but I didn't know that everyone had this problem with 4.2.2. Right now I still use GV integration but since SMS gives no notifications, I just enable gv notifications to at least know I got a text and reply with the SMS app.
I have used that app before but the notifications and buttons in the app are horrible looking to me so I prefer not to use it.

I think it's a pretty good step...
I like how you can select the manner in which you would like to communicate: hangouts/sms/google voice, which gets me wondering why they're saying Google Voice isn't integrated.
One thing I don't really like, is that it opens a new chat/hangout even if you're on 1 contact. I think it would be cool if you carried the conversation with the same person within 1 window regardless of method (sms/hangouts/gv), but that's just me.

Looks nice, but I'd love to see them add a widget or two. I've gotten used to my messaging thread list taking up a home screen, which is very convenient.

So I downloaded the new 2.3 APK, and I didn't get the Google Voice integration of texts and voicemail. I do have the ability to send and receive calls, but there was no prompt nor an option in settings to get texts and voicemail. Am I missing something?

I just downloaded it last night. Was never a big fan until now. I love the integrated dialer that you can use wifi to make calls. It's pretty cool. As far as your prompt, try clearing data and opening it up again as that was the first screen I saw - asking if I wanted to turn on sms. I hit yes and it imported all of my messages right from the stock app, which I promptly froze...
I got that, its now my default SMS app, but the google voice texts aren't integrated like it should be. Other are reporting being able to send texts via hangouts as your google voice number, but the only option I have is at&t.
Some are saying its by invitation only right now. No invite means the option in settings will be hidden

Oh... I got it now. Sorry, misunderstood you. Yeah, the only option I have for sms is my normal number.
Hey I figured it out. You need to have Google voice installed. Then hamgouts asks if you want to integrate google voice SMS. Say yes. Them there is a new setting in hamgouts SMS that allows you to default send from your phone number, google voice number or SMART RESPONSE which is whichever number you last used for that contact...

Probably a bug with hangouts, but notice the capacitive buttons still respond when in a call. That is, when the prox sensor gets tripped, capacitive buttons should be disabled, but they're not. Doesn't seem like the screen is shutting off entirely. On another phone, in a dark room, I can still seem some backlight.
