FRF83 Google Voice not pushing Voice Messages?

I missed a call earlier and the caller left me a message, but I didn't get the voicemail notification from Voice until 40 minutes later.
I double checked my settings and push is enabled.
I just tested it again right now with another Voice message and the Google Voice website is showing the message in my inbox, but my phone is sitting here oblivious to the message. My phone even just alerted me to an email, but still no notification of the voice message.
I may have to switch back to my carrier's VM or turn on the SMS. I can't be missing voicemails by 40 minutes.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Well it figures that as soon as I make a thread on it I fix it.
To fix this I went in and unchecked push in Voice. The first time I tried to uncheck it, it gave me an error. Then I tried again and it unchecked. Then I exited Voice and went back in to it. It was still unchecked so I checked it.
I had my girlfriend leave 2 test messages and both hit the phone instantly. Yay.
I'll leave this here in case anyone else has this issue.

[Q] Google Voice Troubles.

I am setting up both my and my wife''s phone on Google voice. This is what I am running into:
setup
Both phones set to use Google Voice for calling and voice mail
Both phones do have the Google Voice number in the address book for each other.
The Issues
The scenario for these is letting it go to voice mail.
Sometimes on the calling phone, I do not hear a ring from the other phone, and nothing from the answering voice mail either. If I hold on for a bit listening, finally hang up, then the phone called will get a blank voice mail. The phone I am calling from continues to say 'Dialing' until I hang up. This seems to be happening on only one of the phones. (May find otherwise with more testing).
On the phone being called, when I try to use the slide up to have it send a message when rejecting a call, (for example "Sorry, will call you back",) the message is never received on the other end. Of course I would expect that message to go to Google Voice. Is that set to use SMS only? (I do not have SMS service). This happens no matter which phone is calling the other. Never is the message received. I have not tested it with a phone calling that in fact has SMS capability.
Any thoughts?

[Q] Phone goes to voicemail when someone is trying to call

I am running Cezar's ROM Stable XXJPY no-voodoo (love it) and havent had any prblems besides this.
I am very new to using the samsung captivate along with the roms, modems, etc. and do not know a lot.
When someone trys to call me the first time, my phone goes straight to voicemail. When they try and call me again sometimes it works, sometimes it still just goes to voicemail. It shows I have service with the bars.
How should I go about fixing this?
EDIT: Now it won't even let me make calls. This was working fine this morning. However I can still send/receive text messages.
So does this mean it has something to do with the settings or maybe a program I downloaded?

i think its a setting you may have set up on accident. you may have set it up to send voice calls to voice mail...

When i go to voice calls it says:
always forward - disabled
forward when busy - voicemail #
forward when unanswered - voicemail #
forward when unreachable - voicemail #
Call waiting is enabled
Use call fail options is disabled
Is this how it is supposed to be or are one of those wrong?

No outgoing calls on Google Voice after new update

I ported my main number to GV some time ago so I could forward my calls to any of my phones. On my personal cell I basically override the carrier assigned number by using GV for all calls and hangouts for text. Then came the HD calling update. I read the threads on fixing VM and followed the steps. I can receive calls on my GV # and they go to my GV VM when cleared or ignored, but when I try to make an outgoing call using GV it fails. It appears to be dialing some local number instead of the regular 800 # and i get a short message that the call failed and it hangs up. Anyone else having this issue or know a fix?

I was able to place a call using the Google Hangouts Dialer. I haven't used GV for awhile.

Problem is hangouts uses data to make calls. I stick w/ GV since it uses minutes and stays away from my data. I use hangouts for texts and video calls.
So i went back and tried again and i think it was an problem w/ the phone I was calling. I was calling my work cell phone to test which is also on my GV account (although currently not forwarding calls) and I got the error. Tried dialing to my wife and it seems to work fine. False alarm I guess, though not sure if I had this problem before testing to my other phone. Pretty sure I've used it before to test.

[Q] Rejecting call on watch sends to stock voicemail, not gootgle voice?

I've had my Urbane for a day and notice that if I reject a call on the watch, it attempts to send the call to my AT&T voicemail - which I don't use. When I reject the call on my phone, it goes to Google Voice - which is where I want it to go.
Anyone noticed this and/or have a fix?
(Using LG G3 w/Lollipop)
Thanks!

PROBLEM SOLVED.
This all started within 24 hours of getting the watch and started when I rejected a call from the watch so I assumed it was the watch.
I tried to adjust settings in my phone but the forwarding options were greyed out. So, I broke down and called AT&T. It was a setting on their end.
The agent said he needed to add "Google voice mail box number to Busy in CF & LCS" call forwarding.
All fixed. Hope that helps someone else.
