Activation for what exactly?

Id like to prevent the Tab from trying to contact Sprint to activate service.

If the other threads on this didn't help you I have no idea. I've got a Sprint Tab, froze those services and it worked.
I've got the refurb sprint tab from w00t, and it's never once asked me to activate service with sprint.. Maybe because i leave it in airplane mode with wifi on.

Can you make phone calls from device?

Sprint galaxy tab 7 inch. 2.3.4. On standard data plan without voice. Is there a way to make phone calls from the device?
Not qik video calls actually using voice service.

Put in a sim with voice and you can make and receive calls.

Google voice vs you mail

Has anyone left google voice for you mail?
What's you mail??

Never heard of it, but I am a big fan of Google Voice integration with Sprint so it would take a lot to get me to switch.

I've been using youmail forever. I didn't like how Google voice did my phone calls and texts. Youmail is the ****.

I haven't used YouMail since I had a BlackBerry back in 2008. Haha.
Do they still charge for voicemail transcription? Because that would be the dealbreaker for me. Even if Google Voice does a poor job transcribing...it's free.

You mail seems to be the pre cursor to voice, it works well but they do charge for transcriptions

Left for youmail months ago and haven't looked back. Voice integration with sprint was horrible (no mms killed it). Love you mail, but do miss the transcription.

Sprint Integration is optional. When you first set up GV just press "skip" and use GV for voicemail only. If you already did the integration, goto google.com/voice and cancel the integration and start over

I have 2 quick questions about gvoice. When I recieve a voicemail and go to the phone app it is in the inbox and the voicemail folder as well is this correct?

Yes most of us are doing that already. Which model GT do you have and does your regular cell phone have a removable sim card in it? Also, what country are you in?
Reply back with as much information as you can.
Good luck.
I have the GT from sprint. What info do you need from me.thank you so much

Did at&t purposely hose google voice on this phone?

One thing that has always drove me nuts about this phone is google voice. On my captivate it was cake to setup. Install the app log in, and go through setup and your good. On my vivid however you get an error when trying to switch voicemail provider to google voice. There is a workaround and I did that, it forwards voicemails to google voice instead of the default AT&T number. However the app doesn't sync right, it never notifies me anymore. I think att purposely hosed it so we had to use there crappy paid visual voicemail service.

K I uninstalled it and reinstalled and went through setup again and its working fine now. We'll see if it lasts

I had similar issues at the beginning. It's working OK now.
So what's this work-around for the voicemail? I'd like to know.
Change all the voice mail forwarding numbers to your Google Voice number, and google voice should work as its supposed to

What was the work around? Is like to use GV as voicemail.
Sent from my HTC Vivid using XDA Premium
See my previous post. Pretty much if yours isn't notifying than uninstall it and reinstall. Then go through set up as usual. After it fails to change your settings, go in and change your forwarding numbers from atts voice mail number to your Google voice number and should work.

So does the call then forward to GV as a call, or does it forward to GV as just the voicemail? I'm still hazy on the subject. I've already changed my forwarding numbers.
Sent from my HTC Vivid using XDA Premium
Just make sure always forward is disabled

Except the AT&T VVM is free for people with LTE plans, so....
I wasn't aware either way it's rubbish bloatware, and I'd rather use my Google voice.
