So i buy a GSM HTC HERO im with rogers...so i had to get the phone unlocked....so i put my sim card in there from my previous phone and phone plan the guys said my blackberry data plan will carry over and its all good...and it works.....but this phone is rooted currently using modaco 3.1 and when i try to call my voicemail the call wont connect after dialing for 2 seconds it will *click* hang up... :S why is it doing this? how can i get voicemail to work? in the voicemail setup in the phones settings i have entered MY OWN phone number....have tried using +1 and not using it......but nothing...still same problem....
...
bumping this message!
Just to be certain, you are sure that putting your own number in is correct for voicemail retrieval?
The reason I ask is that searching Google for "Rogers Voicemail Retrieval Number" brought back this link.

I have the exact same problem. Hero set my own number to voicemail. I called up rogers and they gave me the number to fetch my voicemail manually. I saved it in my phone-book and gave it a speed-dial number.

Errrhhh, why not just set the voicemail retrieval number? (Settings->Call settings->Voicemail).

Don't know if it's working for anyone else, or if anyone else has tried it, but Google Voice is working for me as of last night. Ported number without having to terminate my contract, and is now my primary VM. If it hasn't been working for others yet you should go ahead and try it
Wait, you can port your sprint number to gv now? How did I miss that news!?!

But he said he did it, so somebody want to go see if you can port in your gv account? I'm not home right now.
Edit: just did it on my phone...got to the part that said it was portable for $20...I think doing that would still cancel my number with sprint, then they'd charge me the etf.

I think they may be testing it out. Maybe the OP is in the test?
I'm pretty sure Porting will cancel your contract with Sprint. They are setting up Google Voice to use our Sprint numbers, but I haven't checked on the status of it yet. I hope OP didn't screw himself tonight.
I'll keep my current settings... Voicemail goes over to the VM number I have, I can use the Voice app to manage it (plus my PC). I'm good for now.
I've been using it as my primary VM. It works good, except that when I get a voice mail, I get the VM notification, an email from gmail and a text message at the same time....

Edit not able to take number to GV.
Wonder how I never noticed that, thanks
im still not sure i understand how this is going to be different. so now i use gv with my sprint number and all i can do is get voice mails, manage it online and get transcribed voice mails (as well as the sms and email notifications i have turned off)
so with the upcoming system will i be bale to do everything i could do with a GV number with my sprint number?

Correct. Google will just switch your current google voice number with your sprint number. So now when people call your sprint number it will ring your computer, other phones and your Sprint phone.
You can block numbers from google voice so when people call your Sprint number they get a, "This number is out of service."
You can text people from the computer and it shows up as your Sprint number.
Customized voice mail greetings for each person if you want.
I think everything in explained in this thread about all the options you now have.
Currently they are slowly rolling it out to everyone.
ah ok thanks
Re: Straight Talk (T-Mobile and Google Voice) voicemail issue
All,
For those who are on ST using a T-Mobile SIM and Google Voice, how exactly did you get it disabled? I see plenty of references to AT&T in here (those lucky ones who can do forwarding) but not T-Mobile.
My issue is the gal says she can only reset it, which disables it so my Google Voice works but then I immediately get a permanent "new voicemail" notification until I set it up and then check voicemails (and there isn't anything so I think its just a default prompt to get you to setup voicemail). Of course when I do that it enables the voicemail and breaks google voice.
I really need help either getting it disabled properly or at the very least clearing that notification without setting up the voicemail box but the lady on the other end doesnt know how.
Just don't give people your Tmobile phone number. If everyone calls you on your GV number, only GV voicemail will pick up.

I think you're mixing up info from different threads.
You probably read about being able to permanently disable voice mail on tmobile, on the $30 Walmart/ tmobile thread. I don't think that option is available to straight talk.
Thanks, I could swear someone had mentioned doing the same thing for ST but I guess not. I did have her reset it so the box is invalid, if you call in it asks you to set it up. I just cleared the data for the phone app and that got rid of the notification.

Unfortunately not the case, when I reject the call it goes directly to the ST voicemail.

Try rejecting the call with the power button instead of the onscreen swipe, that's a known issue with some Tmobile plans. It might work on ST as well.

Hangouts apk if u cant get it in store

new look and voice integration!
http://www.androidheadlines.com/201...google-voice-integration-free-voip-calls.html
Definitely looks different! Nice, though
So...if I am not on WIFI, and I make a call using the new hangouts, is it using my provider's minutes, or using my data?
Anyone try this with the Android L dev preview to see if the MMS bug is fixed?
seems to work ok however I am suspect that those of us with Sprint GV integration are getting hosed, VMs are not coming into hangouts like they are supposed to and emoji still dont work.. maybe they are still rolling out settings on the back end or maybe Sprint users will have to disable GV integration with their cell #s i dunno... Im going to give it some more time and maybe these features will start working in the new hangouts as advertised
Rom L, MMS does not work.
Will not work until android l is updated with the fix

download both apps
Voice+ was not supported in Italy; I assume that it's the same for this... Right?
Working nicely took out my sim card and calls work do work over wifi
with the adfition of the hangouts dialer app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.hangoutsdialer voip calls work great
Once you download the hangouts dialer check the native dialer and you'll see a new tab that shows you statistics!

I do. I can make calls with hangouts. It shows my number to recieve calls via hangouts voice number. Just not SMS. It'll use tmobile to send a text not my voice number. No matter what I've tried.
Can someone check how much data is being used during the phone call (i.e. What's the minimum Internet speed needed to place the phone call)?

no, point was phone calls. texts will be routed through your regular phone number unless you have all your texts use your gvoice number. and i bet it has your regular phone number for texts. whatever is your "confirmed number" is where texts will go through.

The gvoice sms portion is being slowly rolled out by google. Once you have both apps, you'll still have to wait until they allow to use it...I'm assuming whenever you're able to actually download this updated hangouts app from the playstore and not just side-loading it.

I just bought one of the newly released unlocked S7's. First let me say it is awesome. No bloat and numerous settings that were blocked by Verizon are available now. I popped in my sim and everything works great. The only one problem is that the voicemail app is not on the phone. When someone leaves me a message, I get some wierd cryptic text message. I can dial my own number and retrieve the messages the old fashioned way. After I delete a message, I get another cryptic text message. I assume these messages are supposed to be telling the voicemail app how many messages there are in my inbox. Does anyone know how I can either get a working Verizon voicemail app on my phone or stop these text messages at least?

You need the Verizon visual voicemail app or you need to disable basic visual voicemail on your line.

That's what I thought. I tried installing a Verizon voicemail app from the Play store but it repeatedly crashes and doesn't work at all. It did not look like the standard voicemail app that is preinstalled on the Verizon branded S7. I would like to get the APK that is preinstalled and give it a try but I haven't been able to find it yet.

Are you forwarding the Verizon phone number to the google voice number ? I use Google Voice a little but I didn't think it could handle the voicemail on the carriers system.
I have also notice that the video calling option is not available in the dialer on the unlocked phone. Not a big deal to me but it is one more small sacrifice to have the unlocked phone. I haven't looked for a work-around yet.

Yes, I have it forwarding to Google voice number. You can set it up online at www.google.com/voice Also, I don't believe that Verizon Advanced Calling is available for Unlocked phones.

Thanks. I already have my google voice voicemail set up and working. I was looking for a way to get the Verizon phone number's mailbox working with visual voice mail. I had to call Verizon and have them add the "block visual voice mail" feature to my line so that I would stop getting the cryptic text messages every time I received or deleted a message. To save someone else some grief, if you do this, you must reboot your phone before the blocking system change takes effect.
I'm using the old fashioned voice mail service now on my Verizon number. It is tedious but I don't get many messages so I can live with it. My battery life seems to be slightly better on this phone than my old Verizon branded S7. My wife inherited the old S7 when the unlocked version was released. Well played Samsung.

After doing this, do you get any sort of notification when you have new voice mails?
I didn't mind the cryptic texts (in fact, I was able to determine what much of what it meant), but at least those texts let me know I had a new message. But recently they seem to have stopped, so now I get no notification I have a new voice mail

Yes, I get the typical voicemail icon up in the notification bar. My dialer has the number one key set to long-press speeddial my voicemail and enter my password for me. This way it is not much of an inconvenience not having VVM.

When you setup google voice correctly by forwarding your carrier number to google voice you will get it all in one place. It sounds like you setup Gvoice incorrectly. Don't use the setup from the app, use the setup on the website it will guide you in doing the phone code you have to enter to forward your number.

The way I was able to get google voicemail to work was go into settings, phone, call forwarding, turn on call forwarding, unanswered calls and then put my google voice number there.
Isn't there some setting that can be used to enable it? I was using Lineage 14.1 on my HTC One m7 right before buying my 930u, and that had visual voicemail built into it that worked out of the box with Verizon.
Surely someone on here has a Verizon Galaxy S7 and can pull the APK file off of it for sharing?

I was able to pull the APK from my friend's Verzion S7, but when I try to install it fails saying a package already exists with that name. I can't find the package on my phone though. The package name is "com.samsung.vvm" according to pm on the device. I pulled it using these instructions.
