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

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.

Hey all,
Excuse my n00b but, I had Google Voice replacing my Verizon Vmail on my Galaxy Nexus. I just switched from the Gnex to the G2 and I am keeping my same number as the Gnex. Do I have to do anything to configure Google Voice to work or by default will LG's Voice Mate take over all of the vmails? I saw there was a similar thread but it was asking a slightly different question.
If Voicemate is defaulted, is it the same method to switch to Google Voice (dialing the codes on the phone?)
Thanks in advance,
-steve
What you need to do is go to the Verizon website for your account and set up busy/no answer forwarding to your Google number. It will work fine from there.

Just download Google Voice from the play store. It will automatically setup call forwarding during the initial setup. You only have to do I once. Then you can remove Google Voice, or keep it. Whatever.

I had to setup call forwarding again on my account. I think VZW turned it off when I upgraded phones, as GVoice stopped storing voicemails after switching phones. Setup from within Voice wouldn't work for VZW, had to dial the following numbers:
*71<google voice number>
*90<google voice number>
*92<google voice number>
Replace the <google voice number> with your account's number and you'll get a pop-up dialog asking to confirm the call forwarding.

I got it working fine on my last G2. Broke the screen and got a replacement and now everything works except my messagesc aren't going to my voice account. They are going to my Verizon voicemail. I've set up voice like I've always done. Whenever I try to dial the numbers on the OP it just takes me to the Google voice, meaning it's already set up. I don't know. Iv haven't rooted this phone yet (looking for a computer that works), but once iv do I'll just restore my backup but until then it's annoying.
I can call using my coffee number but messages go to Verizon. I had the same problem on my first phone but forgot how I fixed it. It was also running a highly customised ROM though. It's much easier to have my messages go to voice. As of now I have no visual messages
Anyone figure this out yet? I tried to download the Visual Voicemail from the Play Store and it shows as non-compatible. I tried the older Visual Voice Mail for Nexus by Verizon and it doesn't set up, it just hangs. I've been getting these weird text messages every time I get a voicemail (900080006202 //VZWVVM:SYNC:ev....). I have to dial *86 to retrieve messages.
I set up Google Voice on mine and I'm on VZW. I haven't fully tested it yet, but I have the history of previous voicemail all downloaded again in the app, so it looks like it's working.

visual voicemail is a problem. i had it turned off and basic turned on now i get the normal voicemail notification.. i was getting the same cryptic sms messages.
I called CS and told them to turn off VVM and just leave basic. I'm still getting the cryptic text messages and there is no way for me to know if I have a voice mail waiting. I'll try again and report back.
I was on the phone with tier 2 tech support this morning. We downloaded a couple apps. Couldn't get any of them to work. He didn't have any idea how long it will take to get it. He said continue to check for updates. Eventually, something will be released. I remember it took awhile for the N6 app to be released from Motorola.
I use phone fusion now. The transcription service is much better than youmail or Google voice. The app isn't so great, but it does the trick.

I talked to another CS rep and he successfully removed VVM. With basic voice mail, I no longer get the cryptic text messages and now I get prompted when there is voice mail waiting. I then successfully configured Google Voice to handle my voicemails and now my voice mails appear in the native dialer's voice mail tab after I selected the "Voicemail display" option in the Google Voice app. All is well and will await VZW's support for the 6P.
I've been using youmail for a couple of years now. I've never used VVM from verizon. They take enough of my money.... Not giving them another dime over what I have to. Youmail is free. I've liked it. Not for everyone but worth a try
For my Nexus 6p on Verizon I had to get google voicemail, change to GV for default VM in Call settings, and dial *71XXXXXXX (GV number). The text should not appear now that GV will pick up the notification. This means voicemail will be saved in your GV and not on Verizon. Until Verizon includes 6p as a compatible device for its visual voicemail app, this would be the solution. FYI, there is a visual voicemail Nexus that we can download. That doesn't work either.

Yeah, I just chatted with CS and asked them to remove Visual Voice Mail from my line. Once She did that i stopped getting the odd texts and started getting the regular notifications again.
I managed to get the visual voicemail that I backed up from my 6. it shows in my apps but when you try to open This app is not supported on this device. I hope verizon can update it or someone hack the apk to make it work.

So, I spoke a little too soon on this one lol.
I spent all day yesterday trying to get it to work. What finally worked for me was going on my desktop to the Google Voice website, and from there, disabling voicemail for my line and then re-enabling. For some reason, the number the site had me punch in for *71XXXXXXXXXX, where the X's represent your Google number, was different than what both my app and what the Google Voice homepage on my desktop showed. Works great now. (Except I'd like to figure out how to sync the voicemail screen in the Phone app with the GV app.)

What a pain. I was also receiving the cryptic text messages. I spent about 30 minutes in chat with Verizon. They actually told me the phone was not supported on their network. They claimed "The imei number should begin with 35 or 99". "It does not work in our system. That device imei number is registered to a Huawei" I explained who Huawei was and that the phone worked fine except for voice mail. I got Google Voice setup while I was in chat. They never would acknowledge that this phone should work fine. They did finally say "If it recognized the device, I am sure the visual voicemail problems would disappear!" and "check back with us within a few days just to see if there is an update!"

The product known as Verizon Visual Voicemail is not free in my experience. They charge $2.99 per month to use it. The new Android Visual Voicemail built into Marshmallow is free, once Verizon supports it. This maybe obvious to you, but just throwing it out there for anyone else that comes across this.

To sync the phone dialer voicemail screen with GV, you have to open up GV and in settings tick the box for Voicemail display.

Yeah now that I've figured out Google voice. It's great having it right in the dialer and also having the ability to get transcripts (although often poorly) in the app and my email is awesome. It just seems so natural with the nexus. Doubt I'll go back. It's free, just a pain to set up initially. Seamless now. Key is logging into Google voice on the desktop to get it set up properly.

I use Google Voice instead of Verizon for my voicemail. You can get Google Voice texts & voicemails in Hangouts on the web and app: link for help
On my Nexus 6p, I get my voicemail in the Hangouts apps, no need to install Google Voice. Voicemail audio/transcription appear in Hangouts. I have a Pebble watch, I can read my voicemail messages on my wrist.

I asked the same question earlier. Pretty pathetic that I can't get the VVM app I'm paying for to work. Surely there must be some way? Google voice isn't necessarily straightforward
How about any voicemail notification? I am getting no voicemail notifications, visual vm or otherwise with the PH-1 on Verizon.

This is not an Essential issue.
This issue exists when you use *ANY* phone that is not carrier issued.
The Nexus 5X and 6P did not have VVM.
This is one of the side effects of an unlocked phone.
