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.

Yeah, I forgot about that--I got a voicemail notification 2 hours after the phone call yesterday. An outgoing SMS froze too.

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?
I've just found I can't get google voice work to make international calls. I've rooted the device the day before yesterday, also add side loading. Yesterday I've patch the libaudio.so. But today when I tried to make international call with Google Voice, I found Google Voice won't pop-up when calling, then the call would fail due to the limitation of my plan... It's quite annoying.
In fact I am not sure which step caused this. Anyone can help? Thanks!
I have just tested this on my phone, which has the same mods on it (root, v1.5.7, libaudio.so) and google voice worked.
Did you check if it is switched off? Or maybe try a reboot?
I just tried it. If I chose make all international call with google voice, it would work automatically. But if I chose let me decide it each time when I make a call, it won't work, and no choices would be provided when I call...

Hmm, both scenarios work on my phone. Did you try reinstalling Google Voice?
I know this is not much help but since no one else is replying I just decided to throw my 2 cents.
Strange enough... I've reinstalled/rebooted, it didn't work. But I just find change the option then change back works... Seems something was cached even after reinstall, but change option make it clear and work again...
Thank you!

I've been having trouble with my VoiceMail. I'm running CM 7 and using the Sprint VVM 5.1.4.8 and the Voicemail will not pick up. The phone just rings and rings. I disabled Google Voice and did *38 to stop call forwarding and it still won't work. I can go into the app and hit "compose" and record a message to myself and send it and it shows up fine. But when I use another phone to call my phone, it just rings on and on and the VM never picks up. I could really use some help!
Thanks
I gotta say i have not a clue how to fix that. I have called people that had that same problem on different phones but not happen to me. Btw you should post this in q/a not the dev section. You will probably get an answer sooner

I usually try not to troll... But why in the bloody hell would you put this in this section? This is so blatantly unrelated to development its insane.
I apologise for posting in the wrong forum. I've been sort of scattered since this problem started. Mod's, will you please delete?
Thanks

I think i had the same issue a few months ago, what i did was log into my Google Voice from my home PC and go into Phones settings and make sure forward calls to Mobile (Sprint) is unchecked and save settings and that should take care of it. What happens is when you finish flashing a new ROM and your phone boots up for the first time and it gets to the Google login,skip the migration to Sprint to your Google Voice because it causes this problem.Hope this helps! Peace!
AFter I did this I cannot receive text messages unless they are sent to my google voice number and my google voice account is active. So I tried to deactivate it, but that doesnt do anything whatsoever. I even deleted the phone completely from google voice, but as for now, using my google voice number is the only way I can receive texts. So I end up sending texts with my sprint number and then the recipient would have to respond to my google voice number. This is not acceptable. My temper is getting the best of me and I am seriously going ballistic. Its been doing it since i used the method here, so I tried to update the radios to the latest version (don't worry I know I'm doing this right), and I did, but it did nothing to help. I have the latest amon_ra 3.11 and Im running the Anthrax test kernel plus MikG 3.0, however ive also tried AOSP roms with AOSP kernels and its the same effing deal. I've also tried updating the PRL and the Profile, but NOTHING CHANGES. Ugh, I really need the texting to work because I live in a 3G weak area so google voice is not reliable. Thank you in advance... ill answer any questions you guys have.
I haven't used Google voice, but from what I've read I hate it and it takes over your phone. If you go to the webpage for googlevoice, I know you can configure it better, or get out of it altogether. I know in the AOKP thread, someone recently posted a link to the googlevoice site for customizing. Maybe check last few pages if interested. On mobile now and its kind of a ***** to go back and look up and copy to you. Good luck.
And for vmail , I'd suggest youmail, it doesn't take over all your sh1t.

Again, I deleted my phone from google voice. It is COMPLETELY removed from it as far as I know.
You have to go one Google voice site from the PC and change settings to get your texts to go to phone again just deleting the apk doesn't do anything cuz Google voice is a effing plague I used it once it took me almost 3 weeks to get my phone back to normal, your other option is to port your sprint # to google voice so u recieve the GV texts on your phone number I did that til I found all the settings to get rid of it
We are legion, for we are many
Again, I did do that from the online google voice via my PC.
Hey,
Yeah to fix that google voice issue you have to use the sprint google voice integration which uses your sprint number as your google voice number and it works for me, I just like it for backing up my text and sending text via 3g and wifi when I got bad cell signal.
Alright to disable GV you need to log into your google voice account as it looks you did and completely disable your phone and that will kill GV.
Now if your text still arent working there is several reasons that could be
1. you have sprint, many text and calls go missing due to "the other service provider" as they say...but yeah okay they just have an outage and dont want you to doubt their service..
2. you have low memory on your phone in which case it is closing the messenger app before it registers the message, get an app in the market called ghostly sms to prevent that!
3. I know I had some issues with radios and roms, many times they are not compatible or there is glitches which cause them to not work right . This option is a pain in the butt and takes a few minutes but It was the fastest fix to my issue. I downloaded a RUU *one that can be rooted again of course* plugged my phone in as the instructions say and ran the program. and after that of course took the necessary steps to get my root permissions again and it cleared up the issues with my phone!

Ok, Ill try the ruu, but which one is rootable?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I RUUd, and no, no change. It seems like ill be stuck using google voice. I even called sprint and they "provisioned" my phone, but nothing changed
RUU and reprovision will not help is Google still has control of your messaging. I've never used it (because of so many stories like this that I've read), but I still would be convinced you're missing some option in Google voice. Like, go to Google voice on desktop, pull up account. Make sure everything IS coming in through Google voice, then go thru all of Google voices settings, and determine which ones to disable first (i.e. in what order).
Sorry, but it just sounds like Google voice has been disabled properly/fully. Good luck.

Hey,
That's strange cause It can't be a phone issue if you did all that, interesting. Alright um have you tried logging into Google voice to see if it were still getting text? I would at this point send a email to Google and ask them to make sure your number is completely off the system maybe the issue is somewhere in there
Keep us updated

I've narrowed it down to only Tmobile numbers. I can get texts from Sprint, ATT, Verizon, just not Tmobile, which sucks because my significant other uses Tmobile... Ill take the phone itself to sprint tomorrow, but I know those bastards are just going to be like "We'll hard reset it". Here's more details to the issue, I had just gotten my phone fixed from Sprint and they gave me a refurb, so who do I text first? My significant other, being the good guy I am and I got responses, then I rooted it using the method i linked to in the OP, I then flashed AKOP and the problem started to happen, so then I figured, well it must be the radio since I did downgrade it, and did not upgrade it immediatly, so the next day when I realized i wasn't receiving texts I updated it... but that changed nothing. Idk how that helps or not, but well there you go. Also I tried syncing my phone completely to google plus, but in the setup screen on the phone within the app, whenever I say i want my sprint number to be the number I use, it gives me an error, and all I can do is press cancel... This is some mysterious stuff.
Double Post. Right now to get around this, I am stuck using my google voice number (not the sprint one) on my phone. Of course i get delayed notifications and this makes conversation really difficult, especially since i am on call...
I attatched what my settings are in Google voice right now. Notice how it says sprint integration is disabled. I cannot press the delete button because Google then gives me an error saying "You must have at least one physical phone associated with the account" or something like that
Hey,
so did you go into google voice settings and disable the number so it completely un-linked you from any account? & I have had it happen before where it decided to get text from any phone except my better half to, and it was working I was just confused. But after a few days all her text decided to come through at once and sprint says it wasnt their fault but yeah okay I dont believe that. So it was just one of those weird things I wont even question just beacause it ended up working!
stevo
I would suggest REenabling your number to Google voice (as I stated before), THEN, make sure you disable it by first disabling text notifications, THEN calls , THEN your number completely. I'm just going by crap I've read about Google voice. Wish I could help more.

I did try to contact google, but they do not have a support service (WTF GOOGLE!) I read from the forums i posted on that there is another guy that has the same problem as I.
Hey guys, just came to the S4 from the One and still figuring some things out. Whenever I make a call [using the morst horrendous dialer ever seen on android], a small popup happens that says "conditional call forwarding active"... anyone know what that's about?
wow if you are flasher, don't tell torxx you switched--lol jk, we go back a long way and sent him beer money
that says your call will be forwarded if you are on phone call
if you go to call forward settings and select always forward, i think it will go to unconditional
there use to be a code on some phones to disable message--something like--##???--i don't remember and don't know what if anything works on s4--maybe google
the dialer will grow on you--i think--
welcome to the S4 MetalHead
If I set it to always forward, will it ALWAYS forward? Ie. will I not receive any calls then? It seems weird to me that you get a popup for what seems to be normal operation on any other phone. If I turn off all the options, will no one ever get my voicemail?
I used to be a flashaholic, nowadays I just find one ROM and stick to it. CleanROM was my goto on the One X and the One. I have the Active so there's nothing available for it yet, not even root I think. I know scrosler is over here now, hopefully he'll branch out and make us Active users a ROM.
I don't know if that dialer will ever work for me. Between the white and the big, colorful childish buttons when the call ends, and kiddie faces when there's no contact picture, it really takes away from the overall badass-ness of the device. I'm sure once we get ROMs, somebody will do something about those atrocities haha. I still love the phone, and in no way will I let those things piss me off to the point of annoyance. I barely talk on the phone anyway so it's not like I'm gonna be staring at it all the time.
yeah the message will be there unless I can remember where i saw the dialer code to disable it
right, we don't want to just disable call forwarding--it is annoying though because i get a sound with it too. assume they go together, but not looking at screen when i call
no custom roms yet. enjoying just the phone rooted with twrp
am sure one or two of the roms will get rid of stock dialer, just haven't looked close at them yet
If you are using google voice for voicemail you will see this conditional call forwarding is enable to make this work.
The conditions are: no answer, line busy, and call rejected. In these cases your phone forwards to google voice.
I don't use Google Voice. It is not set up.

It could be how normal VM works. It forwards to vm for the same reasons. Easy to check under phone forwarding settings.
I never had it on TMO, may be an ATT thing. I think only way to stop it is disable call forwarding or make it unconditional which still may show a message. Most people don't want to disable call forwarding. I am sure there is a code to disable, haven't had time to research it. But, I am kinda use to it now and no big deal.
I just wish there was a way to get rid of it without affecting normal voice mail operation. My One never had it, my One X didn't have it, nor any Android phone I've ever had. It's weird.

This is 2008 Blackberry but att so don't know what it would do if anything now
I would think if it screws things up ATT could reset your voicemail
I guess you could also write down the number to replug back in if it screws up
I will just ignore or maybe call att voice services when I get a chance

I know on my corporate phone - AT&T screwed this up - work added some features, one was Visual Voicemail and this disabled conditional call forwarding. Maybe you can add Visual Voicemail - the AT&T variety, and then get rid of the alert. They may charge for it though.
Perhaps one of the roms can give the option on nixing that.. It is annoying
