How to get visual voicemail on Nexus 6P? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all! So I had owned iPhones for a long time and one thing I loved about them before I switched is the visual voicemail feature. I hate having to call into my number and listen to each voicemail individually. I heard there was talks about possibly including this feature into Android M but I can't seem to find it. Is there any applications that you can recommend that does this feature? Thanks for any help in advance!!

Your carrier probably has an app. AT&T visual voicemail works for me on unlocked HAM2 even when I was running CM12

This is the solution i found - use Google voice for voicemail, then there is a setting in google voice to have it show in the phone app under the tab for voicemail.

Just use this to make it happen.

how about for verizon?

I got it working on T-Mobile. Go into the phone app, then the menu options in the top right -> Settings -> Calls -> Voicemail and click the visual voicemail toggle. They show up in an additional "tab" in my phone app.

yes from what i've heard it's only working for tmobile right now,the carrier has to support it. i have a bad feeling as a verizon customer i'll probably have to wait until android m is on a samsung galaxy phone and that's when they'll be willing to support the feature.

Visual Voicemail

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.

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!

6P and 6.0 - Where did voicemail go?

HI all,
So its Day 2 with my 6P, going great so far. Then I remembered about voicemail and I never really did anything with it besides swipe away a notification yesterday. Here's where it gets interesting... I could swear I had a 4th tab in the phone app for voicemail the other day. Now I have nothing. All I have now is my voicemail number which my phone dials to receive. Where the hell did it go?
I found some N5X posts that claim that pulling the sim worked to restore that 4th tab. No luck for me with that solution.
Anyone have any ideas or encounter the same thing? I'm on ATT for the record.
Thanks!
Who is your carrier? You can check for the visual voicemail feature in the dialer app,click on the three dots in the search box, go to settings, then calls, then voicemail. See if visual voicemail is turned on. It should be if supported by your carrier. I think T-Mobile is the only one that supports it currently, that and Orange in France. I could be wrong on that one though.

try dialing 1 or long pressing 1.
but the best solution IMO is using Google Voice Lite for Voicemail. free transcription, voicemails on PC and syncing to all devices anywhere in the world.

Best option until verizon releases a visual voicemail app like they did on the nexus 6 if you are a Verizon customer.... Have to go with google voice.
Edit: I see you are on At&t . Probably a similar scenario as the Verizon one I am referencing.
FWIW, i'm on VZW and i still have the (4th) voicemail tab... but it's non-functional. said there were no voicemails even though there were.
i DID have visual voicemail activated on my account too... so obviously at this point this tab is not yet compatible with VZW.
that said, i also wasn't getting notified of new voicemails so i called and had them remove visual voicemail for the time being. fixed the notification problem.
am looking forward to this 4th tab actually working though!

Missing calls on VZW 6P

Has anyone had any issues with missing incoming calls on their 6P? I have missed 3 calls (while I was connected to WIFI) which I found out about because I got a voicemail but my phone never rang. The people that called said my phone rings for about 25 seconds before going to voice mail. Do the APN settings have anything to do with calls or just messages? Any other ideas?
you messed with your APN settings? i've done that on my '13 X. if you selected to only be on LTE vs. CDMA + LTE, you're going to miss calls.

I have my preferred network type set to Global. Should I change it To LTE/CDMA?
APN is set to VZWINTERNET. I didn't change any of the settings within that APN.
The weird thing is, some calls do come through but not all of them.
oh i thought you went in to the hidden menu.
I get an issue that I don't get a voice mail indicator...I get some scrambled VWZ text message.

It is the result of you having visual voice mail and not having the visual voice mail app. You need to turn off visual voice mail in your verizon account and use basic voice mail or find the verizon visual voice mail app.

You have basic visual voicemail enabled. It comes automatically with a Verizon HD voice/advanced calling package that enables VOLTE. Until a visual voicemail app is released for this phone from Verizon you will have to use google voice for voicemail through hangouts. Works great. or you can call Verizon and see if they can downgrade you to the normal (call in) voicemail you were used to but not sure if it is possible. i have heard mixed reviews as to whether they can do that.

Youmail is a good alternative. I used that for my voice mail for a few years.

Oh that's annoying that Visual Voice Mail is bundled with Advanced Calling 1.0! Just tested it by removed Advanced Calling 1.0 and I guess the normal voicemail notification now.
I guess I rather deal with the annoying text messages than to lose the ability to simultaneously use voice and data.

I would also appreciate a cheat note on how to do disable Visual Voicemail. Hell, with this new Dialer, I can't even figure out how to get into the dialer settings to update the *86 voicemail number with my pin, and I've been an Android user since Froyo, so Marshmellow has kicked my but!
But back to my most serious concern, I need Advanced Calling, so if it is kills two birds with one stone, I'd be happy to have standard voicemail since that's all I ever used. Then Verizon and Google will hopefully sort out how to enable Visual Voicemail *and* Advanced Calling too. But for now, please share any secret menus previously mentioned so I can disable Visual Voicemail! :fingers-crossed:
Update #2: Turns out Verizon's Visual Voicemail and Advanced Calling are not related, but I did learn that Advanced Calling also enables HD Voice. It turns out that the Advanced Calling feature isn't enabled on a NEXUS 6p when activated via the nano sim on Verizon. Calling the support line is the only alternative to correct this. After a restarting, Verizon called me back, and I had Data while on the phone.
I'm going to mess around with different Visual Voicemail options before switching back to Basic Voicemail, and I'll update again if I find something.
The Visual Voicemail issues is weird. First, I get indecipherable text messages. Then when I get another phone call after a voicemail, it pops up as my Google Now Card notification for drive time to work, and there is no way to answer the call! I had to reboot to clear that.
Thanks,
Ed Janx
Update: So I downloaded the Verizon Mobile App which has the ability to change your features, including Voice Mail options, but it wouldn't let me select Basic Voice Mail, and instructed me to call *611 . No time for that now, but wanted to provide a quick update.

I found it while working out my voice mail junk here. Open the dialer, in the "search contacts & places" search window at top, press the three dots, select Settings, Calls, Voicemail. Then you can update the voicemail number (not sure about the PIN function though). This has been bugging me as well, only was getting the weird SMS messages. Was able to select basic voicemail using the My Verizon App though (was able to select all of the 3 options for voicemail with the My Verizon app too). So waiting till they update their apps to 6.0 and hope they work then.

I ended up opening a ticket with tier 2 tech support. (thats who they addressed themselves as). First day i didn't think advanced calling worked but i missed that i wasn't connected to LTE but once i did get LTE it worked my bad.... But the voicemail they couldn't figure out. after three days of no call back. I got someone else from tier 2 support and he got my voicemail to work while I was calling from the 6p. finally happy to have regular voicemail notifications and not those cryptic sms messages

I switched to the Google Voice Visual Voicemail and am very happy. Still, I did call Verizon tech and instruct them to switch me back to basic voice mail. Now I can at least I can switch the phone VM back to Verizon, listen to saved messages, then switch back to the Google Voice. Still, I really wish Verizon would just update their Visual Voicemail app to work with the Nexus 6p, as that way I could retrieve some of those 'precious memory voice mails' I've saved for years, then save them digitally.

New unlocked S7 doesn't have a voicemail app - how to get voicemail?

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?

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.

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.

Google Voice

I'm a little confused here. Are you porting your phone number from Verizon to Google Voice, or just forwarding your voicemail to Google Voice?

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.

T-Mobile OP6T Dialer Voicemail Can't Activate

Sorry if this might be a dumb post, but I despise tmobile's vvm app because it never notifies me of messages, so I use Google voice. No matter how many times I disable the voicemail tab in the dialer app, it keeps coming back! Is there a way to link the voicemail tab to Google voice so I stop seeing the following error?
There used to be an option for switching the service, but I don't see that here

If you go into voicemail settings, you can switch off vvm in the stock dialer and the tab won't appear at all, so you won't see the error.
Someone posted a workaround on the Pixel forum that might work by downgrading Gvoice.
