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...
I really like the TMo Visual Voicemail and have tried to install. Every time it falils. Anyone know when this will be a working app.
Don't install from the market. It will fail because Visual Voicemail is already built in to the MT4G.
Go to the dialer, and on the bottom bar, there's a voicemail section. If you already have visual voicemail as a service, then you've got it.

Yes you are correct. But mine does not work...
Mine doesn't work either.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
have you set up your voicemail yet...i had this problem too, and it was driving me f'n crazy...til i listened to my voicemail the first and set up it...after that, i had my visual voicemail going
Did you go to the Settings under Visual Voicemail and enable it?
I had to call tmo customer service, since for some reason my visual voicemail wasn't checked as a service.
Go to t-mo website and make sure you have visual voicemail as a service listed under your account first.
You need to activate it on your phone. If that doesn't work. Make sure the market version is not installed, go to settings/applications/all, scroll down to find the visual voicemail app, select it then select delete data. That should clear things up but you'll probably need to activate it again in your phone dialer.
What happens? does it give you an error or no vmx listed in there?
Also you may want to try google voice, its free and it has some options that T-mobile VVM does not have.
Mine always tells me my phone is associated with another account. I bought it from the 800 number brand new.

You have to call TMOBILE and have it activated... it would not WORK on my mt4g either until I called them and had it activated on my phone.... I didnt keep it long though I went BACK to google voice, which in my opinion is clearly superior...
I was having the same problem you are describing, visual voicemail saying it was assoicated with another account. After 20 min with T-Mobile tech support their solution was to send me another MT4G. I have a bad feeling thats not going to fix it though.

Please post questions in Q&A section.
Received my "new" phone today. Visual voicemail is still broken, leading me to believe it is something on T-Mobiles end. Hoping someone else chimes in with the same problem and maybe a fix.

ditto - similar/same issue here since basically day one ... seems like when i cycle to Edge/2g network off of 3G/HSPA (i force it to Edge only when I'm at home to save battery since I have fast WiFi) - the visual voicemail more/less stops functioning ... a couple things that fix it (temporarily until the next time I go to Edge and/or restart) is to 1) press the menu button while in visual voicemail and go into settings and uncheck enable visual voicemail and then check it again ... after this is done - I often have to hit the menu button again and press 'sync' ... as long as you have a data connection this works much of the time. def seems to work better on 3G/HSPA than 2G/edge ... if that fails I .. 2) just restart the device ... after I do this - this is when I often see the 'this voicemail was associated with another account' or some crap message when I first click on visual voicemail .. but after re-enabling and syncing again - I'm always good to go..
a serious pain in the @$$ but luckily I've trained most everyone in my life on a diet of mostly email and text so voicemails to me are kind of becoming obsolete ... or I'd probably be more pissed..
IMHO, you should ditch the lousy VVM built in and give YouMail a try. It's free and has so many options. Like the ability to choose a different message based on who is calling, block certain callers etc...
Plus, YouMail has a great free app in the Market.
Mine wouldn't notify me when i had a new voicemail. I just use google voice now and no issues.
Same problem here, I keep getting the message "associated with other account". I already have VM activated, and already set it up on my phone. It's fairly random, as my VM will work normally for x number of days. Then all of a sudden I get that message.
VVM issues
I got my phone when it first came out and could not get vvm to work; I called tech support and they said at first it was on their end. A month went by and I called back and they said things were ok on their end, I had added VVM to my account, and then they (2 different people) tried to get me to download from the market even tho the app is built into the mt4g.
I had enabled vvm when I first got the phone and never worked. So this time, I went into settings (open dialer, choose vvm tab, hit menu button) and disabled it, which then did not allow me to get back into settings. So, from home screen, hit menu, settings, manage applications and found visual voicemail and I believe hit button to clear cache and then rebooted my phone. I went back to vvm under dialer, checked the settings and it has worked ever since....hope this may help someone.

are you sure it was clear cache? because my cache shows 0.00B and as such can't clear anything (button is greyed out) ... are you sure it's not clear DATA?
i've heard of people having problems clearing the data on certain programs and having to hard/factory reset which i would REALLY hate to do at this point just to 'try' something out ..... ?
Thanks for this tip. YouMail is awesome!

Now that I have 7720 Mango on my HD2, I'm trying to get Visual Voicemail to sync on TMOUS. I know that people with HD7s have it working on TMOUS, but it doesn't seem to work for me on my HD2.
I have the VV service activated with the carrier. It came free when I first bought the HD2 and it worked fine when I was running WM6.5. Then I upgraded to WP7 7004, but without the OS support, it just came through as a SMS. Now that I have 7720, I don't get the SMSs anymore.
I assume that's how VV works... It sends an SMS with a particular code, which the OS or VV app intercepts and interprets, but early builds of WP7 didn't intercept it, hence the message in my inbox.
Anyway, do different OSs use different codes when sending these SMSs? Do I need to contact TMO and tell them that I have an HD7 so that they then send the correct type of SMS?
<Bump>
Has anyone been able to get Visual Voicemail working on ANY carrier??
MANY THANKS TO oakleymandave, who PMed me the solution which he found on T-Mobile's Forum

Help VVM ORANGE
Sorry, it's 21101 for orange in france and "STATE"...
Don't work for me, vvm djerman work fine, so what's going on with orange ? why did they tel us that it's not activate and since today many hd7 owner clams it work !?
----------------
Hi Guys !
Since today in france it seems like hd7 owner (branded htc) have the visual voicemail working but the operator clams that it's not activated.....
So, I have a HD2 MANGO, with operator package, do you think, there is a workaround like your fix ?
I contacted TMO US and asked to enable VV. No questions asked about phone model. You can also enable online, but it appeared to be changing my monthly fee even though the option is free.
Enabled it in Settings > Applications > Phone and it was working immediately.
When I read a message it's directly on speaker, no way to listen it normally
Is someone has the same problem?
Everything work fine for me.
HTC HD2 ORANGE, WITH MANGO UP TO DATE...
I am on virgin in uk my calls do not forward to voicemail when i dont answer the phone just says not available.
If i put call forwarding on it automatically puts every call straight to voicemail how can i change this so my voicemail works normally.
Cheers
now if we only had tethering we'd be jammin' !
Today I've played a little with the native SIP. I found out that the file "android.software.sip.voip" is missing. I pushed this file to etc/permissions, changed permissions to rw-r-r and voila! - after rebooting the missing internet calling part appeard in my dialer settings menu. I managed to set my voip provider credentials and enabled SIP. I called a few numbers and apparentlly got the connection (the called person confirmed it and i can saw it in my voip billing list) but nobody could hear the other one and dialer was frozen. it is not the common SIP issue, i can use CSIPSIMPLE without any problems. I'm attaching the missing file if somebody is interested in further research regarding native voip on moto x.
I tried enable the native SIP settings using a Xposed module. The behavior was the same, SIP account connected, no sound and Phone app frozen.

I wondered where the Internet Calling menu had gone... I've got a Verizon developer edition and figured that Verizon stripped the settings. I may have to give this a try as well to see if I get the same outcome.

You surely get the same outcome. Try it, you've got nothing to loose. You can always get back with just deleting the file. Sadly getting internet settings option is not enough to activate voip. something else is missing. Either there is no voip codec or the whole part is corrupted.
Have you tried the Sipdroid app? I haven't attempted any VoIP stuff yet, just thought I'd ask.

I'm using the Csipsimple now. Works flawlessly. But I belived that native SIP as a part of the Android system might work even better.
Yep, added the xml and got the same results, I can make the call, called person gets the call, but then dialer freezes, have to FC it and there's no sound. It's like the xml file is there to make the setting populate in the dialer's settings menu, but there are other parts missing that handle the audio. Also noticed that the pause, mute, and speakerphone buttons don't "work". Like, you can click them, but they don't do anything.
Just a question, so I can expand my knowledge base.

When I go to another country I use VOIP to all my calls. It is much more cheap.
Some free services (here in Brazil called 0800 calls) don't work with cell phones, but there is no problem with VOIP.
In some forms I need a wired phone number, because they don't accept cell phone numbers. The VOIP number is ok.
My VOIP number is from my local area. So, if I am in USA, Egypt or Japan, anyone from my Brazilian local area can call me with a local call. They pay the same price to call me on the other side of the planet or to call the neighbour across the street.

Say you live in a place with terrible service, not just bad 4G or 3G, but everything bad service. Or perhaps say when you're at work and your building sucks and you get no service... but these places you do have Wi-Fi. For me, this is work; the building sucks, I get no service, but we have Wi-Fi. With VoIP you can place calls via the internet if you don't have service. I can still place and receive calls to my VoIP number on my phone if I have Wi-Fi and have airplane mode on and Wi-Fi enabled. Except the Moto X on Verizon doesn't seem to support it, they want you to use their networks.
When the first couple of users reported their "internet calling" option missing I thought, well, it could be due to some carrier-restrictions since most devices were either att or some other us-carrier. Now I got my moto x unsubsidized and I see no "internet calling" in the dialer options either.
This sucks because I seriously don't see anything else wrong with this phone and not being able to call people abroad for the price of a chewing gum per hour.. bummer.
Does anyone know if the CM dialer has the same restriction?

I read reports on other forums where users experience the same sip symptoms as of Moto X. Considering that I got an idea that KitKat (at least 4.4.) has somehow broken sip functionallity as a system. It seems that is not intentionally deprived, rather reflects a malfunction. I can't find more logical conclusion adding all facts together. I had oportunity to see two different cases where sip/voip was removed from the android system by purpose before: either both xml files (sip and sip/voip) were missing or sip functionallity were stripped from framework-res.apk. Its true that Moto x originally lacks sip/voip xml file, but it permits adding this file. And having this file in dialer enables initiation of call what never occured in any of previous cases I described. Besides the totally same behavior is described on other KitKat phones. In fact I can't remember one single confirmations that sip works on any KiKat phone.
But I don't know how is it on 4.4.2. I'd really appreciate if someone, who has already gotten 4.4.2, checks whether sip works with that upgrade. And before add voip/sip xml I attached in my previos mail if it isn't there yet.

OK, if you're rooted, could you, please, push the attached file (unziped) to the etc/permissions and change permissions to rw-r-r? Then find and set voip in the dialer. Or anybody else, who is interested, could try.

Excellent! We obviously have working SIP with 4.4.2. Perhaps someone would ask what is the practical benefit of that. If you live between home and office and have a good mobile plan, there isn't any. But if you travel a lot, it might be completely different situation. Calling from anywhere in the world where you have internet connection of any kind for as low as a few of cents per minute is surely an advantage.:laugh:

I had a similar problem when I used ES File Explorer to copy the files into place. I had to restore my phone from a backup.
It worked better when I copied the files using adb shell commands. I also used the adb shell to make sure the permissions on all of the files were chmod 644. I'm guessing it was the permissions that needed to be set correctly.
I now have Internet calling in the phone app, but I'm having a problem with the microphone. The audio comes through to me OK, but my voice going out is distorted. I'm not sure how to describe it. I sound "warble-y". The distortion affects all calls in the phone app, even those to an echo test number on my local network. There aren't many settings in the phone app, so I'm not sure what else I can do.
Other apps like CSIPSimple and Spare Phone don't have this problem, so I don't think it's my wifi. If it makes a difference, it's a Verizon Developer Edition running 4.4.2.

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. I have tested it myself and also found few issues:
1. SIP wont work on mobile data connection (on Nexus devices it doesnt matter what you use as data bearer, as long as connection is fast and stable enough). So, no WiFi - no SIP...
2. Once you start SIP call there is no icon or sign showing that this is a SIP call.
As for call quality, I called my mom yesterday and she didn't say it was bad, but I will test it again today and post my findings later.
OK, I can confirm now that SIP voice quality is bad and does sound very strange...
Hi Guys.
I got the phone last week and after a couple of days I updated to the Oreo Beta version, one thing I just noticed today after a reboot was that I had 3 Voice Mails after the reboot, those 3 calls were rejected by me but because I never got a Voice Mail notification I thought that they simply hanged up.
The Visual Voice mail setting on the Phone app settings is turned on so I assumed that was all it was needed, but it's not. My current T-Mobile Plan includes Visual voice Mail so I already have that with the native phone app on the Galaxy S8+ and if I remember correctly it also worked when I had my Pixel XL, so I didn't download the T-mobile Visual Voicemail app thinking that I didn't need it.
So today I downloaded it and when I opened the app it never registered, it got me an error every time that's when I decided to turn off the Visual Voice mail option on the phone app and it immediately registered and worked.
Am I the only one? What about others t-mobile users with similar plans than mine, do you have it working or this simply doesn't work on T-mobile?

So today I downloaded it and when I opened the app it never registered, it got me an error every time that's when I decided to turn off the Visual Voice mail option on the phone app and it immediately registered and worked.
Am I the only one? What about others t-mobile users with similar plans than mine, do you have it working or this simply doesn't work on T-mobile?

I don't have the phone at the moment, as I sent it in for replacement, but Visual Voice mail in the phone app and T-Mobile's voice mail app worked on my phone. So the build in visual voice mail(phone app), didn't show any voice mail that were already in the mail box, but when any new voice mails were left, then the app showed. As for T-Mobile's voice mail app, it did show any old messages that were in the mail box and all future ones.

IS there a NATIVE Visual Voice mail app? Could not find it so I disabled it on Verizon's side to make LED work.

If you go to the dialer app (phone app) and go to settings you will find it there under the Call menu.

I was told on other forum that it was working fine on Nougat, so I decided to give it a try and downgraded to it and yes, it's working fine on Nougat. So unless somebody with the Oreo Beta and T-Mobile confirms that it works we can assume that it's broken on the Oreo Beta build.
Yeah I've got the same thing on the Oreo beta.
No visual voicemail through the phone app and it did work when I was on Nougat.
I'm on T Mobile. Hopefully the Oreo beta 2 fixes it this week

Have you reported it? I did, but the more the people, the better.
It will be good to see if after the update that's scheduled for this week this keeps happening or is fixed, if the fix it I'll go back to Oreo so please people if you get the upcoming new beta update, please treat this and report it, thanks.
On oreo beta
I am on the Oreo beta and I am with T-mobile. Visual Voice Mail working fine.

Well of the few people that have replied to me here and in other forums you are the first one that have a working Native visual voicemail working with TMobile and Oreo. Like I said before mine never worked no matter what, went back to Nougat and began working at the first try. So I really don't know what to think now.

It may varies based on Carriers, I don't really know that and don't know any other place where to set it up. Sorry.
