Hello it seems Google Voice is not compatible with the Bionic. Is there a manual work around? I remember reading a while back a way to do this with the thunderbolt. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It says: unfortunately your carrier is not supported for automatic voicemail configuration. To use google voice as your voicemail provider, please visit the google voice help center more more information.
I got that error message too, but the voice mail does in fact work ok.
The problem I am having is that my google voice number is not showing as the calling number, even though it is set to be. I have tried changing the settings to ask each time, and it does not ask. It is still not working after rebooting too.

Just go to the google voice site on a computer and enter your phone number manually in the google voice settings on the website. It is a very self explanatory process once there. After that, go into your wireless network settings on your bionic and change the Voicemail settings from "my carrier" to "google voice." Not sure where this is on motoblur, but just look around and you should find it. If you get an error message or it freezes, do a reboot, go into the settings again and verify google voice is selected in the Voicemail settings. You should be okay after this.

Thanks for your help gotta it!
So caller id still shows my actual phone number and not my google voice number even when it is configured to do so. Any one else have this problem?
That error came at the point (for me) where it should automatically insert *71###-###-#### (*71 + your google number) in to the dialer to forward missed calls. So I did it manually and GVoice has worked fine for me. I did get one FC, but not sure if it was because of debloat or actual GVoice app. Other than that I have made calls, recieved Vmails and texts through GVoice just fine.

Ok, so I flashed Darchdroid (the newest version 2.7 i think?) and now i dont have voicemail. i really liked the stock voicemail app, is it possible to get this again? if not, does anyone know how to get google voice to take all of your voicemails instead of just the ones to your google voice number?
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps!

another option would be to look 4 posts down from yours in Q&A. im running 2.7 as well and this worked awesome for me. i like the sprint vvm. google voice simply did not work with my cell number. it worked for awhile then just stopped. very weird. did the forwarding and settings all correct and just says "unable to connect the call" when i call my cell from another number. pissed me off. good luck.

That's weird, man. It works great with my phone. Nice link, though. I'm glad to hear it worked. It's always nice to have a choice.
My google voice started doing that took. But I logged I on my pc, and created a google voice number, and no issues. I had never set one up since I was only using voice mail. Now it works fine, and I didn't even have to give anyone my gv number

help a brother out, how is that again? i have a gv number that i forward my cell number to *28850xxxxxxx and a separate one for my voicemail set in the phone but evertime i call my cell # from another phone it says unable to connect call. let me know what you did. thx.
EDIT: Oh I think i see what you mean now. i'll try that. i guess i just assumed that *28850xxxxxxx# was my gv #. thx
yeah, just choose your own google voice number with your own area code, and then when you open google voice on your voice, it will automatically change over, then you just have to dial the *28xxxxxxxxxx code, and good to go

I assume your talking about Google Voice? Are you trying to use it for your voice mail or what? A little more detail would make it easier to help you.

I'd be a dummy if I couldnt set up Google Voice, I would say the voicemail part is seperate being that I can still use Google Voice without forwarding my voicemail.
I'm talking about the voicemail forwarding process for Google Voice. I can never forward my voicemail to use Google Voice's. It denies me. If I need to make it clearer let me know.
I can dial and recieve google voice calls, I tried to forward with the Google Voice app and manually with the dialer.

That IS the process provided by the Google Voice app..so yes I've tried it. It wont let me, I'll try and get a screen shot. SO u guys can keep helpin'
ok...so I don't know howta add pictures...
I got Google Voice as my voicemail provider without any issues tho the little setup process during the initial google voice setup did not work.
On your phone open the dialer program and enter the following *004*YourGoogleNumber# and then Send or call.
So it should look like *004*15555551234#
These directions are in google voice if you log in from a PC and go to Settings > Voice Settings > Phones > Activate/Deactivate Voicemail on this phone.
Are you on Flex-Pay? I think they dissable the auto-magic google voice setup on flex-pay accounts.
The manual method mentioned should work fine.

I cannot set Google voice as my voicemail provider.
When I try to set it it says "Failed to retrieve and save current forwarding number settings."
Does this have to do with ATT's new visual voicemail crap?
Any way to get around this?

When you get the "Do you still want to make the change" hit yes. It says it errors but it does. If you finish out the set up, then make a call from another phone and it ignore and leave a message you will see it goes to Google Voice.
I just confirmed and this is what my Vivid does.
Navigate www.google.com/voice, go to settings, make sure your phone is listed.
Click on activate google voicemail on this phone and it will give you the number to enter on your phone (e.g. *004*1800XXXXXX#)
After that, download the google voice app, install, open it up and follow the prompts to install.

I believe a valid workaround is to go to settings - call - call forwarding and set your "forward when unaswered" and "forward when unreachable" to your google voice number.

I had the same issue make sure your WIFI is on and then try it it should now work. Thanks
I had a similar issue, when I tried to change the "Voicemail Service" setting, it failed and gave me an error. But I just went in and manually changed the forwarding numbers to my Google Voice number and it worked just fine. So while the settings still say "My Carrier", it's actually using Google Voice.

Me too. I tried to "contact [my] carrier" as it suggested, but they are clueless. I wonder where the issue really is (carrier/framework/google).
EDIT: Wow, ancient thread. Sorry. Thanks for nothing Google results.
Has anyone been able to get Google Voice to work on their phones? I have the 64gb Dev Edition and for some reason it keeps failing during setup. Any ideas?
I got it to work eventually (T-Mobile edition HTC One) but it took some effort; first, I would try deleting your forwarding phone number from Google Voice's website, uninstalling the app/clearing data, and then adding the number back on the web page. Then check the box to enable call forwarding/voicemail service and it will give you the number to dial on your phone; do that, and it should set up the voicemail successfully (it will still say "Carrier" under your call settings, changing it to the Google Voice option never works for me). Then I would reinstall the app and set it up again. Hope that helps; it's kind of a pain but it worked for me. Although I would add that for whatever reason it stopped working and I had to repeat this process later on. So it's kind of hit and miss, at least on T-Mobile.
right now gV is going through changes. since google actually wants to hack gV away and intergrate the functions into google hangout. so those using the gV tunneling method to be on 30$ prepaid 4g plans might be SOL for a bit. while google works this **** out. not sure though might have to get one of these guys to confirm.

Are you trying to set it up to be your voice mail provider? If so, I've successfully set my phone up, but I wasn't able to do it through using the in app method. I had to manually set it up so it send calls to Google Voice.
If you go to settings > Call > Call forwarding > Then set the options to:
Always forward: Disabled
Forward when busy: My Google Voice #
Forward when unanswered: My Google Voice #
Forward when unreachable: My Google Voice #
Also, you might notice there is an option to change your Voicemail service after selecting Call from the setting menu. I left this alone... My phone has that option currently set to My carrier.
In the end, these settings forward any calls that come in to your Google Voice number just like it would if you were able to get through the set up using the in-app feature.

Fixed *kind of* using this method.
I tried the method in the 2nd post but it still didn't work so all I ended up doing was changing my "Carrier Voice Mail" number to my Google Voice number.
Settings/Call/Voicemail Settings/Changed number to Google voice number.
And now it works fine!
Thanks for all the help guys.

Hey Guys,
Has anyone managed to get Google Voice to work on the S5? On every other phone that I've had, and it's been a lot in the last year, I always just install the app, run through configuration and it's fine. On the S5, I simply can't get it to work.
I only use Google Voice for my voicemails. I don't make or receive calls with my Google Voice number. Every time I run through the setup it gives me an error and then says if I want to change providers or something like that. If I hit yes, it fails. If I hit no, my Google Voice voicemail doesn't work.
Any ideas? I went to the Google Voice website and deleted my phone and added it again with no success. What is going wrong?
Thanks!

you probably need to re-forward VM to GV. My S5 kept giving me an error when I tired to do it via the app, so I manually forwarded to my GV# via..
*004*xxx-xxx-xxxx# (where xxx-xxx-xxxx is your Google Voice phone number) then Press Call
PS: I'm not certain if you need to, but I set up my AT&T voicemail before I forwarded to GV,
I guess I got lucky -- I ran through the GV setup via the app and it worked perfectly the first time. I kept having issues when trying to set it up on my mothers S4...had to eventually reboot her phone and change it manually in settings. For my S5, it worked fine the first run through.
I also set up AT&T visual voicemail before GV. I did this just to double-check if my old voicemails were still there.
