Google Voice push sms and voicemail after app update.

After the Google voice app update I have no setting for refreshing every 30 mins or so. Has anybody notice?

Very cool, looks like voice is moving along nicely.
Come on VOIP!

Other forum alerted me to the update. Glad it finally got push in. Now I can turn off email notifications.

so do we have to manually install google voice (or any other preloaded apps) so that they can get auto-updates from market?

The default on the updated app seems to be disabled notifications for some reason... anyone know why?

Because you no longer update by a time schedule anymore. It's all strictly push now.

Right... but the box to "Synchronize the Inbox" was unchecked. I checked the box, which also turned the notifications back on. I used my gf's phone to leave a test vmail, and it instantly notified me.
Are you saying that leaving the box unchecked will still push the notification automatically? I thought that we had to enable synching the inbox...

No, I'm saying it was turned off because the old sync no longer applies and perhaps some people don't want push.

Ah... ok, that makes sense. So I was right to check that box then.

Sorry i dont mean to Hijack the thread but I figured i'd ask here instead of creating a new thread. Can some one help me out with setting GV up, I have my number and all I just cant get GV to replace my T-mo voicemail.
I have tried all of the setting online and when I call my GV number. Any help would be appreciated.

On your phone, simply go to settings>call settings..and change your voicemail from My Carrier to Google Voice.

Wowwwww im special. I cant believe I overlooked that :facepalm: Thanks a TON!!!!!

No problem... just be aware that if you reboot the phone you need to go back into those settings and change it again. I don't know if the new update has fixed that little issue, as I suspect it's not with the GV app, but with the software on the phone itself. Hopefully it will be fixed soon though...

Any word or clue to whether or not Google Voice will ever implement picture messaging ?

So I've synced my Inbox, have all my notifications set-up, rebooted my phone, and am still not receiving ANY notifications for TXT messages...Anyone have any idea what might cause this? It's a bit frustrating blah, especially since I use GV text for a side business

I don't get the VM notification emails anymore, but I still get that blasted second txt msg whenever someone sends me a GV sms =/

That will happen, but if you scroll down further that in Call Settings and tap Call Forwarding settings, you'll see it's going to your GV number. The voicemail option just changes where your calls get forwarded to for voicemail.

It also changes what number is dialed when you hit the voicemail icon in the dialer. Try rebooting your phone and clicking the vmail icon... it will automatically default to the Carrier. You have to change it manually in Call Settings as I described for the dialer to revert to GV for vmail.

Uninstall the update. When you re-install after the sign part there is the option to setup for voicemail.

Ah, well I never use it because what's the point with Google Voice. I can see them and listen to them on the app without having to dial in and waste minutes.

Anyone here use You Mail on their Atrix?

If so have you got it to work on your phone, I set it up as I did on my Tilt 2 and all seemed fine...
So today I get a voicemail and I dial my You Mail number and it says I have no messages
So I then call my number to be brought to the att voicemail box and my message is waiting in here
Any insight would help

Mine isnt having issues. Just tried it to be sure. Sounds like for some reason your att mailbox is in use now. Try resetting up youmail maybe?

I'm having the same problem
I set up YouMail but all my voicemails are still going to my old voicemail box. When I first installed it, it seemed to work fine and it downloaded some messages. But now all new messages go to the old voicemail box. Do anybody have any ideas?

i stumbled across (you mail) last night, got excited installed it, went to register and of course gotta have a US number for it to work. yet again Canadians no go.
EDIT: sorry for the rant. it has nothing to do with your questions, just saw the post and decided to reply.

I had to change the numbers in the call forwarding section of the phone settings. Did the same in the voicemail settings. Now when I push and hold "1" it dials YouMail.

This did not work I got
Call forwarding
Connection problem or invalid MMI code

You'll need to set it manually go to settings -> call settings -> call forwarding
You'll change: when busy, unanswered, unreachable
Use the number +17142043114

I prefer using YouMail over GV for my answering service.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

it's crazy... mine works, but i never set it up. i was using it on my iPhone 4, then started using the wp7 for a little bit and it was going to youmail. then i switched to my atrix and it continues to work w/o having to set it up again.
i'm guessing the quick code above changed my deposit number in at&t's system.
for the record: i did set it up on my i4, but haven't had to on any phone after.

Unless your call forwarding gets changed it should keep working.

Google Voice Minor Issues?

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?

[Q] Google Voice(mail) and Sprint voicemail

So randomly this week I have been getting some VM that comes in from GV and others still come in from sprint.
This is my work phone and the only GVmails have come from people calling from my corporate office, and the others from my area stores.
I didn't set this up and actually like the GVmail as i can just read the email that it sends.
Any help on how to fully setup so all VM come in using google voice? I logged in to my GV account but see not settings to change in there.
thanks

try reinstalling google voice and setting it up to integrate with sprint.... which brings a question how do you remove the annoying "press 1 to answer"?

that's the thing though I don't have GV on my phone installed at all and only use GV for a home number and have never setup GV with my work cell #.
Side note:From what I can remember each time I got mail from GV my phone never rang but got the VM later from GV.

You have to go to Google/voice on your computer and go into settings. I just did that cuz I hated the press 1 to answer also.

if you don't have you GVmail setup and someone calls your GV number, they will hear it ring a few times, then some silence..
If your settings are default (to screen calls or press 1 to accept the call or something dumb) THEN it adds to the confusion.
I would set up your GVmail w/ a greeting that's appropriate, get your call screening options setup the way you like it (I do not screen unless it's a private caller) Then get your text messaging options setup.
Also they have some cool functionality for voicemail to text or Vmail to email transcription too. It's funny sometimes.. They come up with some weird stuff hahahahaha..
Hope this helps

[Q] google voicemail setup problem

Cannot forward to Google Voice number for voicemail on Nexus 4
I get invalid mmi number or connection problem.
Can any one help me.

I am having similar issues. With straight talk t mobile

Op, are you on T-Mobile? If so, I didn't think Google voice voicemail works be cause they don't allow call forwarding. I could be wrong but that might be the issue.
EDIT: I meant T-Mobile pre-paid, not postpaid
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Are you on prepaid? It won't work with T mobile pre paid plans at least.
Also, make sure you aren't on WIFI, for some reason it wouldn't work on wifi(but this was with the S3 and wifi calling) but you can try.
Also, try doing it from the voice website, it'll give you a code to input and that may work.

Mine works fine and I am on T-Mobile. Go to your phone, then hit settings. Then go to Voicemail and make sure the service is set to Google Voice.

did you set up the app on your phone? (install, configure, go to phone -> settings -> voicemail and check Google Voice) and then go to voice.google.com on your PC, settings, Phones tab, Activate voicemail -> get the MMI code from there?
mine has worked fine on AT&T for years doing the above steps.
EDIT: see screenshot... where mine says "deactivate voicemail", are you clicking "Activate Voicemail" to get your MMI code? that's where it needs to come from... (just trying to trouble-shoot for ya).

hmm... not sure what to tell you. in voice.google.com , settings, click deactivate voicemail... then uninstall the app off your phone, then start over...
install app, setup, configure
then click "reactivate voicemail" at voice.google.com...
if that still doesn't work, I'm not sure how to help.

Google Voice and T-Mobile
This is what I did to work on T-Mobile.
Google voice will work for text, making calls, and catching voicemails for missed calls. However, if you ignore the call, it will go to your T-mobile voicemail.
What I did was call T-mobile and told them to deactivate my vm (it's a common request they get)
Then I created a contact in my phone book and I entered my tmobile (not gv number) and I set the option to sen to VM whenever called
Then I wen into the voicemail options and changed the number of the VM (put this number in the contacts as well as you might want to reference it later) from the t-mobile number to the google voice number
After than, google voice works like normal. No need to set up conditional call forwarding.
