I haven't been able to get Google Voice to function as voicemail on the Aria, either by using the in-phone command, the call commands specified by the website, or the bootleg "type in the number" method that I used to get it working with my G1. There are actually commands missing from the call settings menu (the additional GSM call settings): principally the "call forwarding" commands. AT&T meddling, or am I missing something?

I have had no problem using GV as my voice mail and forwarded number as well.
Made sure i set it up on the website first then ran GV and set it up following the prompts. Skipping the step where i tried to change the voice mail settings automatiically. Use the settings option on the website to give me the # 004 # etc.. code which set up the forwarding without much problems.
When I go to Menu > Settings > Call > .., at the very bottom I see call forwarding, Call barring settings, Additional Settings, etc.
As for Google Voice, I don't believe you need to change anything using the settings within the Aria. For me, anyway, I left my voicemail settings intact on the Aria, and my calls still get directed to Google Voice (I figure by keeping the carrier voicemail settings, it'll default to that if Google Voice fails). So if you changed the voicemail settings ON the Aria (via Menu > Settings > Call > ..) then change them back to the AT&T settings?
Don't have the phone with me now, but when I tried the *004 etc# thing it returned some kind of incorrect code error message. I'll try it again tomorrow. I'm just glad to hear that's it working for someone.
Works for me using *004*.... method.
It failed for me thru the Google Voice App, but worked when I activated via the Google Voice website...make sure you type it in exactly as they tell you to on the website.
I did it a couple of times, and very carefully; got the same error message each time. So I don't know what's going on. I'll try it again tomorrow (it's not my phone). I do like the phone, however. It's a lot snappier than my G1 and I like the size. I don't think I'd miss the extra cpu or screen size of the nexus and I can get it for almost nothing; I'm thinking about it. But then there's that Legend...

Hmmm... well, Google Voice began working immediately for me on my non-rooted Aria, after I installed GV and did the set-up (coming from a Nexus). It sometimes has trouble deleting messages from voicemail, but that's about it. I didn't touch anything, and GV was one of the first apps I installed.

Calling out to Google Voice voice mail may not work correctly if you rooted and used fluffy's original app sideloading procedure, which has since been fixed. There was an 'android_id' problem with the original method. I think non-rooted users should be okay.
Unfortunately, they only way I know of to correct the android_id problem is to wipe data (restore factory settings) and start fresh, and then use the new sideloading patch. This uses your existing settings and not someone else's.
When I did that, at least all off my downloads showed up in android market so all I had to do was redownload and install them. It saved a lot of searching for the apps I had downloaded previously.
The HTC dialer can be quirky somethings. I would try *004*+12223334444# where that is the GV number, the plus may help I am not sure though.
If that doesn't work call 611 and have them forward unanswered and rejected calls to you GV number. They can set the option on there end since it isn't phone dependent, but rather dependent on the network.
I did a wipe and reinstalled, used the new sideloading method and still cannot get GV to work. Getting a MMI error code.. Tried adding the + in as well, no luck.
I have now tried everything mentioned. Any attempt to dial the google code, with or without the "+", returns: Connection problem or invalid MMI code.
Any attempt to change the call forwarding numbers returns: "Unexpected response from network."
I'm glad it's working for everyone (nearly) else, but it just isn't here. I talked to an att rep; they didn't have a clue. I suppose I'll have to try another one...
Okay, I finally found a tech at att who could sort it out. And while he was doing so -- it took a while -- he admitted he himself didn't know what network quirk made it not work the way it should in my case.
So for anyone else with this unexplainable, network problem: persevere until they bump you up to a serious tech.

Glad to hear you got it worked out, was it on their side or did you have to do something to the phone?
Why are some of you guys sideloading GV? It's in the market. Install it from there.
I don't think it is that we are sideloading it, it was the original sideloading "fix" that was posted may have had something to do with the GV issue, at least that was the hope for me, but I still cannot get it to work.

It was completely on their side. And they couldn't even explain why it wasn't working the way it should.
I just called AT&T because my regular VM wasn't working, callers were getting a fast tone busy when I was on the line, also call forwarding wasn't working. They tinkered around a bit, turns out my VM number was in only one place where it is supposed to be in two, so it was a programming error. Once that was fixed I tried GV again and was able to set it up using the *004* method and it does now work! Hope this helps others...
loved the tts ringtone on stock eclair when the phone would pronounce either the phone number or named (if saved to contacts) of the caller
e.g. "call from sophie; call from sophie; call from sophie"
its gone from 2.2
is there aftermarket app or some other installer to bring it back?
Look up SayMyName, I have it working on EC05 currently. I was missing the old one like you but after installing this & setting it up I am back to it saying the caller's name like I had before (it's free too)
Hey all,
I'm running the latest CM7 nightly. Anyone have any idea how to send "Unavailable" caller id's directly to voicemail? I've been getting calls at all hours of the night and they never talk when I answer. Not even getting the pleasure of telling them off!
Thanks,
PhilyT
I believe Google voice can handle this but that's if you want to integrate.
mr number will
CM7 has a built in blacklist also, not sure if that helps any with unknown callers.

It won't help with unknown or blocked numbers. It works awesome on the numbers that aren't blocked though. I had this lady that would call my phone all the time asking for her brother or something, even after telling her she had the wrong number, she would call right back as soon as I hung up. She called me literally like 15 times in a row one morning at like 6am, and I couldn't turn my phone off because I use it as my alarm clock. God I wish I knew about CM7's blacklist feature sooner.
I don't have that rom, but I use an app called "Call Control"
Has a blacklist option, as well as automatically block unknown and blocked id numbers
Thanks guys. I was hoping there was something built in that I was missing, but apparently not. Oh well. Even Android can't be perfect
You will have noticed that there are a couple of glaring issues. Voicemail notifications don't make it out of the app to anywhere in the phone (like the notifications bar). In the call log, outgoing calls get recorded as the Google bridge number instead of the number you dialed.
Please call Samsung. Inevitably the first layer of support won't be able to do anything so ask for 'Advanced technical support'. They obviously won't be able to offer a solution either, so ask them to submit a feedback ticket. If they receive enough of these, they will look into it with Google.
Happened to me the first couple days I had my phone. Did a reset and it cleared up the notification issue with Google Voice for me though. I've heard of others who got theirs on launch day have the same issue i'm guessing something to do with the activation servers being slammed.
What did you reset?

Just did a factory reset in settings.
I had a problem installing Google Voice at first too. An error pops up when it gets to the part where you configure your phone's voicemail setting. I just backed out of the app and restarted my phone. It's working fine now after the restart.
I got the voicemail notifications working by going back to 0.4.2.34.
Do outgoing calls show up incorrectly for both of you in the call log?
Google Voice is very very well integrated in stock ICS from what I've seen and confirmed to be working in CM9 already. As a new Android user without having used stock ICS I think I prefer some things in TW better so I wanted to get this working. Hopefully stock ICS and CM9 will be as good as users here rave about since that'll solve all the GV issues completely.

It's always been like that, you must be new!
I only use google voice for voicemail, and I had no problems with it.

it's not like that on my HTC One XL; the contact/number i called shows up in the call log and i can redial from the call log. with my SGS 3, the bridge number appears in the call log and is unassociated with the contact/number dialed. for me, that's not good because i use my GV number as a biz contact number. and what's the deal with the email client... whoops! sorry, that's for another thread!
Wait, I'm lost.
I thought Verizon disables Voice. I can't make it work for voicemail. Same with my last 3 Verizon phones .
Google voice working well here too

I also have the bridge number in call log issue and this did NOT happen on the Galaxy S II.
An hoping that it's a Google voice bug rather than a bug in the T-Mobile version of ICS.

I've been having the annoying issue of it not registering properly during voicemail setup. Always worked just fine on my GSII.

Works fine on my Sprint version. Only problem I'm having is voicemail won't integrate with the call log like it did on CM9.
I tried using MIUI. I have reverted back to CM now! The problem is integration with Google Voice. When I place a call, the pseudo GV number is only displayed. The actual contact name/number is not displayed. The same happens in call log also! So I can't figure out whom I called. Is there any way to address this with 3rd party app or some setting? This is the only reason for me to stay away from MIUI! I love CM11 and the speed.. But MIUI is attractive!!
