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.

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.
I have just discovered that when you dial 611 and it opens the "My Account" app with the US T-Mobile 2.13 rom update that it will disable your speakerphone until you reboot the handset. Now if you call directly T-Mobile via the 1-800-866-2453 number, it doesn't activate the "My Account" app and hence the speakerphone is not affected. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I've had the phone for 3 months now and it just started happening on my HD2 right now. I was freaking out thinking I was going to have to hard reset just for my speakerphone not working! (I use it a lot) For users that have a slightly different setup go to the "T-Mobile Help" App, like the above poster said, and the difference is when you go to "Tips & Tricks," you'll see "Top Tips." Click that & then click "Call Care Assist." Then you can disable it from there.
So, in short:
T-Mobile Help > Tips & Tricks > Top Tips > Call Care Assist > Disable.
But thanks to shehrammajid for his super helpful post!
& to tomparrish for addressing it in the fist place!
I keep seeing posts from various users here, as well as all over the internet, about how easy it is to get SMS up and going through WiFi and they describe various ways of accomplishing it, but none of them ever work for me. Can someone/anyone tell me once in for all rather its possible, and please describe (in detail if you please), how to do it?
Question: If I, or anyone else, was to decide to just wait for the WiFi ONLY Tabs to come out for this very purpose (texting via wifi), would we be wasting our time? I mean IF its not possible via wifi on the wifi/3G Tab, then we shouldnt expect it to work on the wifi ONLY Tab either right? Thanks in advance.
It is possible (and quite easy) to get SMS working over WiFi. If you have a google voice account, you can download the google voice app and use that to text people (or you can use other apps like textplus). That is the current setup that I have since I have no texting plan on my line.
Hope this helps,

Thanks for the reply. Google voice was one of those ways that I had read about already and for me it was not easy at all, and I could never get it to work. The last thing I read about setting that up was using le your home # for the Tab since it is not used for texting purposes...well, it didnt work for me. Maybe you could explain exactly how you set it up?
That app you mentioned I, I tried that a while back and my son told me he was flooded with advertisements...etc, so I dumped it.
Some help please....
Can't someone else give me some help here? This is driving me nuts. Why would using Google work for one and not for others? What could I be missing/doing that's possibly screwing it up?
Set up google voice and your wifi tab is ready to text. No extra ads or nothing like that.

Thanks for the reply. I've already set up google voice but cannot get it to function properly. That's what I meant when I said in my previous post "Why would it work for one but not others, what could I be missing/doing wrong to screw it up". I have followed all of the instructions on google website, I've put in the # to be used for my device, google has verified it, I've downloaded the app for my SG Tab, but it will NOT WORK. Perhaps you could explain in detail how exactly you set it up? I really don't know what else to do.

Yes, I'm in the good ole U.S. of A. What else do you think may be going on? Thanks for your reply.
What am I to do after this point if....
I'm to this point (see attachment) and I'm trying to set everything up "for texting only" and what I've read is "use your home phone #" because it is not used for texting...etc. Well, when I get to the point of what the attachment shows, what the heck do I do? It doesn't seem like I would be able to use my voice phone line to do this, and I cannot use the SGT as I have no dialer??????
Have you tried opening google in the browser via your Tab and useing the provided dialer in google? I use it on my PC as my PC has no dialer either. I will try with my tab and edit this post if it works or not.
I know it's not quite the same, but you could try using "Whatsapp" from the market if all parties have either android or iOS devices.
I just tried your suggestion, well..I at least got on the tab and went to GV site, but then I noticed voice had been activated without me following through at that point shown in the attachment. Now I have another problem. When I sent a text to the tab from my Evo, my home phone rang and Sprint sent what's called a TTLL (Text to Land Line) call....so that's screwed up. I used my tab to try it the other way, but cannot see any way to even send a text, not online at the voice site and not on the tab with the voice app. So it looks like I'm still stuck at not being able to get this going. Really frustrating..

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a go, and if it works, I think I can afford 2 dollars a year. I might just do that, thanks again.
EDIT: This won't work because it has to verify a number for your phone. The tab doesn't have a number.

I have not used the setting "Forwad to Google Chat" and confirm that I'm able to send/receive text but I have my free phone number from IPKall and I'm able to send/receive text using GV account from the tab. Read the instruction in the Sprint VoIP call in Dev if you want to (find my post there).

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately this isnt working for me either. Im at the point of giving up now and just returning the damn Tab. I did all kinds of research on this prior to even buying the tab to at least try and make sure I could accomplish it. Most of what I found was "seemingly" possitive. Everyone makes it sound sooo damned easy to set it up and get it going, well its not, and I will go as far as saying that it isnt possible at all, for at least some, me being included in that latter bunch.
Sms was designed to be sent over cellular network and being associated with the phone number.
The number is also needed for GV. You might try Skype and get phone # and etc using it but its all far from comfortable. There are other services that might work as proxies for you but all cost some money.

Thanks for the reply. I guess then that all of those posts that I've seen here, as well as all over the net, was just "bull". I say this only because of your comment about SMS being designed for cellular network, and only because these posts I'm talking about specifically say they got things up and running and are successfully texting on their SG Tabs via WiFi/Google Voice.
I suppose then that I should just forget about waiting for that WiFi only Tab because SMS would not work on that device either. I wouldn't mind spending some money to get this going, although I don't think that I would want to get into a contract or anything like that and be stuck spending on a monthly basis, which I think all of the Wirelss companies like Sprint make you do (not sure).
For SMS and voice phone on my Tmobile Tab I use prepaid voice only Sim. The tab was flashed with Euro ROM and works very smooth and giving me ability to place voice calls and send SMS if needed. It costs me money but no monthly obligations.
BTW, I can send Sms using Sim card from my phone as well.

I guess I couldn't do anything like that correct? Is there a difference between T-Mobile and Sprint Tabs .... besides what may be the obvious, like I know Sprint is CDMA, not sure of T-Mobile. Anyway, do you think the same type of setup is possible with my Sprint device? If so, could you please describe how I would go about setting it up? Feel free to PM me if you like/want about this topic. Thanks
Is anyone else on AT&T's prepaid (GoPhone) getting a message "Conditional Call Forwarding Active" every single time a call is dialed out? I don't get the message for incoming calls. I researched and found some people experienced the same issue on other devices as they had not set their voicemail. I have my voicemail set up and all settings (as far as I can tell) are for AT&T's network. I got the message on stock GB and now I get the same message ICS LPY ROM. What's causing that message and how can I fix it?
Am I the only one experiencing this?

Nope your not the only one have the same message... although I think its carrier dependent as I get it on all my phones
Don't worry about the message, it's just highlighting that you have set your voicemail with certain conditions i.e. when busy, unavailable etc
If you cancel your voicemail settings, you should find that the message disappears.

I am not worried but it just seems it can be fixed, and I don't know how. I tried disabling the conditions but it doesn't allow me to make any changes. If anyone has any other ideas about fixing this issue, please share them.

Goto settings, Call, Call forwarding, Voice call and check to see if all options are showing disabled, if not, you will get that message.

As I said, I can't disable them - it doesn't allow me to and is restricted by the carrier.
Also, I read somewhere that disabling those settings will not forward your calls to your voicemail.

Did not know that carriers have restricted it on some networks, I'm in the UK on t mobile and can disable any of those options.
Disabling the settings will definitely stop the messaging as well as forwarding calls to your voicemail. The whole point of the message is to let you know that you have active diverts i.e. voicemail setup. Have not seen any option anywhere where you can disable the message.
thanks a lot, i have the same problem it now solved , i follow your advice setting-->call setting-->call forwarding-->the last option was enable i make it disable (Forward when unreach)
I'm using my 6T on AT&T. On my previous phone (an HTC One m7 that I used for 5 years), I used a MMI code to increase the time before unanswered calls go to voicemail. The code includes the phone number that the calls are forwarded to. I tried to get that number by using the code *#61# but it returned "Not Forwarded" on all call types. I dug into Call Settings>Call Forwarding and all the settings are set to "Off". If I go into any of the settings it prompts to enter a forwarding number. Is it just me or does everybody else's phone not show this info?
When I do get a call that goes unanswered, it is forwarded to voicemail and I'm notified and am able to retrieve it, either by calling my voicemail box or using the visual voicemail app. So voicemail is working normally. I just find it odd that I'm not able to get the forwarding number information. Is this because the phone is not AT&T branded/certified?
Do these MMI code things still work like they used to? Or have things changed & I'm not able to modify this setting any longer?
I am having the same issue. When trying the codes or going into settings I get the same results error. Never had this issue with my other phones. Did u add the IMEI to att? Just wondering cause I didn't. Using the imei of my galaxy s6.
