Google Voice push sms and voicemail after app update.

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.

[Q] G2 Voicemail Icon

Anyone having trouble with a voice mail icon that won't clear from the notifications bar. Its driving me nuts trying to get rid of it. I don't even use t-mobile voice mail

ya i just connected to it and let it do it's thing. it went away after that. i use google voice so i don't use tmobile either.
so dial the voicemail number connect and let it set up. that's all it will go away.

Call yourself and leave a voice mail and delete and it'll go away.

I also have this problem. My G2 is setup with Google Voice as the voicemail. I have called myself multiple times to leave a voicemail and then called the voicemail and deleted the message, but the icon remains. There is no option to clear this icon in the notification bar. I have also done some reboots, including removing the battery since HTC doesnt do a full power down with its fastboot feature.
Has anyone found a way to remove the icon other than calling and leaving yourself a message? Is anyone else still suffering from this annoyance?

Wow, 2 minutes after posting I found my solution. Here it is for others:
1. Go to call settings and change the voice mail service to carrier
2. Hold the 1 key to dial voicemail (this should go send you to the T-mobile system). Delete any messages if neccessary
3. Icon should disappear during this call
4. Change back to google voice for voicemail.
5. Continue using your awesome G2 while others use older, crappier phones.

I use youmail but when I set my phone up for the first time, it gave me the same problem too but youmail changed the carrier default number so I had to manually add it back before I could get the notification to go away.
Found this out after 2 factory resets
Gotta make sure your carrier voicemail number is tmobile's 1805637::::::: number (you can google it)
Then you can forward back to gvoice or whatever it is you use.
Again, MAKE SURE YOU DEFAULT CARRIER NUMBER IS FOR TMOBILES!!

its annoying.
i didnt change anything. just diaed 123 and listen to t-mobiles vm settings. hang up and its gone.

ya this was driving me crazy all day! under settings/call/voicemail service just change it to "my carrier" then call yourself leave a msg. then delete it and then you can go back to settings and set it back to google voice so you can have transcribed voicemails!

Yes, I had to figure this out the hard way myself. Change from google voice to standard voicemail... delete messages... change back.

I tried every suggestion in this thread but I still have the voicemail icon. Does anyone have any additional suggestions?
When I try to change my voicemail settings from GV to my carrier and leave myself a message, the notification comes from GV even though I already changed it to carrier settings. The problem persists after a reboot as well.

Got another phone? Pop in sim. Call voicemail. Or delete Google voice. Then call voicemail.

once you go in and set up your t-mobile voicemail, the icon goes away, then you can change back to google voice if you like that better.

[Q] Missing Voice Mails?!?!?

Not sure if this issue has come up anywhere, I did do a search but didn't find this particular issue in the details.
As you can see from my sig line I've flashed several different ROMs. I am not sure when the problem started, but I am just now getting to the point where it has become irritating.
If I call my phone from anywhere and allow it to go to voice mail, I can hear the prompt and leave a message. However, I never get the Visual Voice Mail indicator, and perhaps more importantly, if I call my voice mail, it reports there are no messages in my mailbox. This happens whether I call it from my phone, or any other phones. This happens if I leave a message, hang up and call right back.
What's even more strange is that when my GF calls me she gets a specialized message "Hi Tina, Brian can't come do the phone right now...". When my buddy calls me he gets a standard cell phone greeting message, the default Sprint one. And if I go into my voice mail my default greeting is a recorded message saying "Leave a message", but again, when you call it you don't hear that. Weird huh?
Has anyone experienced this, or does anyone have a solution? Not sure what's going on, or where to start.
Thanks.

Sprint VVM app has issues with AOSP ROMs.
Follow this thread for a fix that works on a lot of ROMs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547780

Not sure this is ROM or app related yet. Since there are some definite quirks when different people call me. That's what is really odd. Messages left in vmail by caller aren't even there when I call vmail manually.
I do seem to have a working vvm app. It even updated to a newer version. I can listen to sample messages, go thru settings.

Have you ever used Google voice, and then not disabled it properly?

Hm....I am not sure, maybe I'll try to install and uninstall....
Odd, I cannot get Google Voice to install. It is a free program yet I get an error: Error processing purchase. [DF-BPA-09] . I am able to download and install other apps, I tested with Twitter app.

Ok here's a clue:
I turned off my phone, then called it using my office phone and left a message. I then called it again and pressed * during the greeting which prompted me for my PIN. Upon entering my PIN the system reported that I have 28 new messages. LOL.
If I check my voice mail from my mobile phone however, it says I have no messages.

PROBLEM SOLVED!
Apparantly an installation of YouMail on one of my ROM installs started forwarding messages with that service. I reinstalled that application and it found all of my messages. I then used the following codes to deauthorize YouMailL *38 Call and *720 Call. I don't know which one worked, but these deauthorize YouMail and return you back to Sprint Voice mail. I tested by calling my phone and sending to voice mail and it did in fact send the message to Sprint VVM.
Hope that helps anyone that stumbles across this message.

[Q] Google Voice voicemail issues on LG G2

Google Voice not working from G2 call logs. Anyone else notice this? It shows I have a voice-mail in the phone's call logs but it won't play. Hitting the log does nothing. Can go into GV and hear the message so that seems to be working but it doesn't work like my Gnexus did. Anyone have thoughts or a fix for this?

It's not working right for me either. I kept hoping I would find a setting somewhere but I haven't yet.

Yep. I'm seeing problems too. Sometimes phone rings on an incoming GV number call but most of the time not. This is potentially a deal breaker. I only use GV. Any solutions greatly appreciated!

Try an older version. I wish i could comment on if this works, but i can't get my phone to access google voicemail settings. I recently resubmitted my resume online and i've had 5 calls come in this past weekend on my phone. None have not rung.

You can manually set it up through your Google voice acct. Online. It will give u the code to set forwarding and everything ...

Ok. Did that. I tried it a few times today. Rang no problem. I do not get any indication in the recent history of a voice mail but i can swipe notification bar and click on the vm and it opens in voice. Will mess around some more.

My phone rings and it shows in the recent calls notification list. It just won't play the message from that list. I have to open the voice app to listen to the message. I just wish it was more like my Galaxy Nexus but this is probably due to LGs Android tweaks.

I never even look for VM in call log, just quicker, and easier for me to click the notification ....

I reverted to an older version of 0.4.2.54 frin 0.4.2.82 and still am having issues with ringing on an incoming call to my GV number It will ring about 5 our of 7 or so times, but when it doesn't ring, there is no notification of a missed call, not even from GV. I have to go to the Missed call folder on GV to discover the missed call. If someone does leave a message, I do get my notification of the voice message.
This reminds me of the problems I had on my old Droid X with GV and the stock VZ Motorola ROM on that phone. My last phone a Gnex running stock AOSP never had an issue with GV. I suspect that this has something to do with LG's phone/dialer app interacting with GV....
I am also running lightflow for notification, but that shouldn't have any impact on just having the damn phone ring on an incoming call.

Update.
I allowed the OTA and changed Lightflow to not run in the foreground and since haven't had further problems with GV ringing phone on incoming calls?
Not sure what fixed it.

I have a similar problem, i can't make calls to certain numbers with gv. Nothing seems to fix it. It's definitely the g2, i switched my sim back to my nexus and gv works fine.

I was having the same issue. I deactivated it and activated it, and that seemed to solve the issue. On at&t you dial ##004# and hit send to deactivate it. To reactivate you dial **004*1(your gv number)# without the parenthesis and hit send.

Google voicemail won't play(verizon)

So I set up google voice to work on my 6P but when I don't answer, nothing plays. I still get a notification on my phone that I got a voicemail but the person calling me doesn't hear any greeting. I have set one up though. Any ideas what the problem may be?
I reset the google voice app and when it tries to setup the voicemail, it says unfortunately your network carrier is currently not supported for automatic voicemail configuration. Not sure what to do. I hit configure and tried both your carrier and google voice for the service and still have the same problem as above. If I click google voice, I get the your network doesn't support automatic voicemail configuration. Any help?
