Does anyone know how to amend the number of rings before an incoming call is sent to voicemail on O2?
Go to Start-> Settings -> Phone
Then click on the Services tab.
Click Call Forwarding and click Get Settings...
You can tinker with your settings to your heart's content but your maximum time before forwarding to voicemail is 30 seconds.
When I set up my phone I selected GV for SMS and VM. I got tired of getting two sms notifications when I received one SMS etc....
After I rooted N1 I tried to remove GV (unsuccessfully) and I selected "my Carrier" for the default on VM and SMS. Fixed sms but....now anyone who calls my TMO number gets sent to my GV voice-mail.
What can I do? Any help appreciated.
Doesn't answer your question, but just an FYI: You could go into the default message app and turn off notifications so that you only receive one when you get an SMS.
in order to disable google voice voicemail just dial this ##004# and hit the call button.
Go into your call settings and change the call forwarding numbers back to your carrier's vmail number.
Not sure why you'd want to not use Google Voice, since it's got vmail transcription, etc. Your multiple notifications issue is simple user error and that can be fixed by adjusting your settings.
Hell Yeah!!! Thanks a lot!! Momo
Every time I get a GV voicemail, I than get an email in my gmail. I love GV. hell I have had it since GC days 2007. Android is new to me. But I have laid down my crackberry habit of 6 years. My wife's G1 one got me started. Sure loving this community and my N1.
*******Unsari1 ,,I already changed my call settings back but that did not help.
no problem glad it worked.
Also, if you were getting 2 notifications for sms, it's because you had the notification turned on in both GV and in the small client and not because there's a flaw.
Posted in another thread, but thought this was relevant to this thread as well...
To any of you who are using Google Voice as your default voicemail app... do you notice the phone's settings revert back to carrier voicemail after a reboot?
If I go to dialer after a reboot and hit the voicemail button, it dials T-mobile vmail... and if I go to Settings>Call Settings, Google Voice isn't selected anymore. So basically, it has to be set again after each reboot...
I've recently installed cm7 GRI40 and I've just noticed that I'm not receiving any voice mail notifications.
I've set:
menu -> settings -> call settings -> voicemail service to "my operator"
and voicemail settings to that of the orange uk voicemail number "07973100123"
I've been through all the other menu's to see if I've missed something but I can't find what else I may need to set up.
Would be great to hear from someone who knows how to fit this.
It was driving me nuts that in order to get my SMS through my messaging app and use GV for my voicemail to be getting double notifications every time I was receiving a text. I have noticed a few others expressing their frustration with this as well so I thought I'd share what I have done to work for me. Maybe someone else will find it helpful, or less frustrating anyway, too.
First on my phone, I went into the GV > Settings > Sync and notifications and turned off Inbox notifications.
On my PC I went into GV Inbox, then Voice Settings. I clicked on Edit for my phone and made sure there was a check in Receive text messages on this phone and clicked on Save.
Then I click on Voicemail & Text. Under Send a text (SMS) message to I put a check next to my phone. I also put a check next to Transcribe Voicemails and click on Save Changes.
GV must have updated their transcribing software because lately it has been almost spot on.
Anyway, what this does is now I receive my texts through my messaging app and when I get a new voicemail, I receive a text with the transcribed message notifying me that I have a voicemail. The text includes the caller's number so I can return their call directly if the transcription makes sense. I do not receive any notifications directly from GV so no more double notifications.
I keep a shortcut to GV on my default home screen so I can get to the GV inbox directly.
Also, if you use GV extension in chrome, your texts and voicemail notifications still work so you won't have to go to your phone.
I hope someone finds this useful, or if anyone finds a way to only be notified of voicemails, please share, but this really has worked much better for me.
On somewhat of a related note after reflashing my rom and then reinstall of GV I started getting all my texts through GV and all my calls were being screened by Google. Ended up having to remove my phone from GV and then removed GV from my phone. At reinstall I had to make sure not to combine my sprint account and my Google account. Now GV is working again and texts are worked too.

So I tried your way, Poashll. . . but, I still got the dual notifications (GVM and text). So, I've gone a different route.
1. Check the box for "Synchronize Inbox" in GV > Settings > Sync and notifications.
2. Check the box for "Inbox notifications" in the same menu and uncheck "Text messages."
3. On the PC and in GV settings for phone > edit > uncheck the box for "Receive text messages on this phone" > save.
4. Still on the PC and in GV settings for voicemail and text, I make sure the boxes for "Email the message to:" and "Send a text (SMS) message to:" in the voice mail notifications section are unchecked.
I moved the GV shortcut to my "unused/special" pane for easy access for whatever reason.
With this, the only notifications I get are a missed call and the GVM notification. I left transcribe on as well. . . just in case I can actually read it. All of my SMS/MMS come through the Sprint app. . . which makes sense due to the GV MMS issue.
Just another option. . .
EDIT: I just realized that I misread your post and disabled "Sychronize Inbox" insead of "Inbox notifications". . . I guess it's different flavors to the same-ish end result.

I never ported my Sprint number to GV, so it works only as voicemail. I do get emails with the transcription though. I unchecked texts in the app itself. It sends people that didn't have issues did once they were able to port their number.

Yeah, I was dead-wrong with my approach. I thought incoming text messages had been checked, but GV is still intercepting them. . . which is annoying. So I can "uncheck" my phone in settings through the pc and that should make it a voicemail only app?
I have unlocked my (Sprint) SPH-L720 (using the instructions on this forum) to use for Straight Talk. Here is my problem: The phone number in "Settings > About Device > Status > My phone number" is not only incorrect, it is the previous owner's number. These Sprint phones use Visual Voice Mail (by Smith Micro Software) and the app takes over the "Phone > Call Settings > Voicemail Settings" menu. This means that I cannot get to the menu screen that allows me to change the number that voicemail calls. Is there a way to root edit "My Phone Number" or the voicemail number so that voice mail functions properly?
