i just bought the bionic and i was a little disapointed that google voice is not supported. i came from the incedible and ill be honest im addicted to google voice. i never want the verizon voicemail ever again. now my question was. its saying that its not supported by my carrier. but that doesnt make sense cause i placed some calls on my inc just a few min prior to purchasing the bionic. now i know what your thinking your going to say that i have a 4g phone now and it might not work on the extra "G". but in my area there is no 4g coverage yet. so im still rocking the 3g. any ideas?>
i saw another thread about this and think it will address your concern - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254244
My google voice works perfectly
Activate it in your Google Voice settings. It always says that this carrier does not support it when you activate in the app.
I believe its *72(googlevoice#)

What did you do to get it to work? If you don't mind me asking. I installed the app and followed the instructions. I've done this on 5 other phone and never had this error before.

I wish i had some magical explanation but I don't. all I did was install the app and change my voice mail service to Google Voice in the phone settings.

Anyone have their google voice lag? It takes about 3-4 seconds from when I tap the icon to when the app launches. It seems to make my phone freeze during those 3-4 seconds.
anyone? anyone else have this issue?
Only thing different with my Bionic and GV is when I dial a internationial # with GV it no longers displays the Goggle # I am calling that then trans. the international # I am calling. Other then this works just like it did on my old OG droid
My message not picking up
I have had a moto droid and droid 2.no issues..
But.....when I set the google voicemail on my bionic im having issues. It was working fine until 3 weeks
incoming calls are going to a general voicemail box that says enter the number of the party you wish to contact.
If you enter my number it goes to my message.. But no one know numbers these days so I'm not getting any messages...
I have deactivated the account reactivated my account downloaded the software on my phone and I'm repeating the same issue please help.. I'm dying with visual voicemail ...
There's a few dialer codes you have to enter on an LTE device:
*72(xxxxxxxxxx)
*90(xxxxxxxxxx)
*92(xxxxxxxxxx)
where the X's are your Google phone number.
Give that a try and tell me what happens.

Yes, I too have the multisecond lag when GV tries to launch. And I did not have any issues installing and getting it to work.
Sometimes you may have to connect to a wifi to set up Google voice. I've had luck doing that when it said it wasn't supported by my carrier.

Wait, the Google Voice configuration is supposed to work on Bionic? It said my voicemail configuration failed because it was not supported by my carrier. (Verizon)

Mine works great and no delay, I set up my voicemail on my PC though and installed gv from titanium backup so all the data was there... Sorry I can't help

Google Voice on my Bionic here. 5th phone I have had it on. Works like a dream. I don't mean to rub salt in your wound, just letting you know it is working as intended for some of us. I wish I could be of some help. I hope you get it resolved soon.

GV lags when it starts to eat up more than 19mb of ram. If you don't use it that much, you'll never notice. I've just gotten to the point where I respond to my texts through gmail. No biggie, but still blows. Google needs to fix this ASAP!
I have an Atrix 2, btw. Just checking this forum to see if the Bionic shares the same issue's as the A2. Seeing as they have the same guts and all (minus the radio).
I'm just curious if anyone else is having an issue with their data dropping out on a stock D3.
Sent from my Incredible 2 HD using Tapatalk
Mine has been fine. What ROM stock are you running? The very first ROM that Verizon released is buggy but doihg an update to 5.6.890 is a good idea.

I believe she is currently running that.

Then you need to call Verizon Tech Support and tell them the exact issue from another phone besides the one ailing. A couple simple suggestions: do a *228 options 1 and 2, and make sure it is set to Home Only on roaming. Another possibility is the battery saver data manager is running and making it so it shuts off data during specific times and comes on when the screen is on. Make sure the wireless isn't set to Global but CDMA only.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
We tried all of that. Thanks for the suggestions though. Nothing seems to work though. We just got this phone like a week ago because her other was doing the same thing. The new one did it while I was on the phone activating it lol. She's tired of it and I'm tired of hearing the complaints so I told her to sell it because she wants an iPhone.

so a buddy of mine has a phone from tmobile the htc sensation and it has the option of using wifi calling whitch apparently doesn't use minutes texts or anything on it is there a way that our phones can do that i have tried google voice but it still uses minutes any way for that to work on the bionic just curious???
Currently, T-Mobile is the only carrier around using Wifi calling (US, at least). It requires specific setup on the backbone and no one else has implimented this. I'm sure there are third party apps that will do something like this, but as far as a carrier-supported feature, you're out of luck.
oh ok so it is related to the actual network interface such as verizons 3g 4g while on a phone call?? i wish there was a way to use wifi only minutes i try google voice but it still uses minutes..

Grooveip works with google voice to make 3g, 4g, and wifi calls. Doesn't use any minutes. Only data if calling over a network. A simple search in the Android market will tell all one needs to know.

I also use grooveip. Works like a charm making calls through wifi using my Google voice number. I also have it on my wifi xoom and it works great as well.

I have NetTalk home VOIP which works great but an added bonus is their app which is on the Market, but you do have to have the Nettalk duo.
It allows outgoing free calls using 4g or WiFi (I think 3g works)but no incoming as of yet.
I found the voice quality to be very usable but it does have it's limitations.
When you call anyone it doesn't show your cell number but a number that is from Nettalk
Yeah i have that too not too bad for free but horriable quality

WiFi hotspot tethering now works for me. On my former AT&T-branded Galaxy S2, this feature was disabled unless I were on the higher-cost data plan, which definitely was not worth it for me. But the unlocked Nexus starts it right up.
This is great for us. For example, when we're on a car trip, my wife can use her Kindle or iPod Touch to access the Internet. Same for anyplace where we don't have a good public WiFi signal.
Be careful. They monitor what type of traffick is transmitted and can figure out that you are tethering. ATT will then automatically enroll you in a tethering plan and charge you for it. It happened to Me with a different device.

While I've heard of this happening often, it's never happened to me even after a whole 6-7 hours of tethering when we didn't have the network set up yet at my new office.

Interesting...does device type have any merit?
Any idea how this would work on the GoPhone plans? They can't really automatically enroll you in anything since it is prepaid.

You can get your browsers to mimmick a mobile device so you can tether to a PC.

Are you sure? Yesterday I tethered my Nexus5 with my Nexus7.... and when I opened a chrome browser on the Nexus7, it asked me to upgrade to a tethering plan.
How can I get my Nexus5 to tether without running into this problem......... I know T-Mobile gives you 2.5gigabytes of tethering, but is there no way around this? even if the tethering is from the nexus5 to another android device?
ATT's tethering monitoring is based on APN only (called mobile broadband). Their only method of Engle enforcement is that all their branded phones lock you out of changing the apn in their stock att modified software.
If you're on phone or wap.cingular (and PTA as well in my experience) you can tether a pc all day long. Been doing it for years regularly on my unlocked S2 then my N4, and I'm currently tethered via my N5 on phone and LTE.

So...I don't have to root and freeze the tethering file to tether? I can just go for it on my N5? I am taking a trip with the kids in the car and it would be nice to turn tethering on for their iPads. Leaving tonight and just got my N5 yesterday...so no time today to root.
Thanks in advance.
This has been an advantage of nexus phones since day one. The native tethering app works. Sure the carrier cab still try to block it from their end or cut you off, so don't over do it.

I've always been able to use tethering on T-Mobile, they never said anything to me about it or blocked be.

I respectfully disagree.
I was always on WAP.Cingular APN and tethered with my note and got auto switched to tether plan with mild usage.
I did not try to cover by using only mobile sites...

I have only received a notification once from ATT about tethering, never happened again and I have not been charged. I think its because my power was out and I really wanted to play battlefield so I just plugged my phone into my laptop and went at it.

This is very odd. I'm not saying I don't believe you, but I've done the same on wap.cingular AND others (but no mobile broadband even in the list on my apns) and I've browsed, bittorrented, etc all without issue from a real pc with no user agent hack. Again that was i9100 (tw and aosp), n4 and now n5. To be fair I don't think I've tethered a pc on the n5 yet but my tablets were fine. Maybe because I've got no contact they let me get away with more (doubtful) OR your Samsung ROM restored the apns to default from the Sim on you at some point and added the mobilebroadband apn to the list.
I HAVE been detected on tmo tethering because they detect via browser user agent. ATT does not require a spoofed user agent, as far as I can tell it's ONLY via that apn. So without mobilebroadband in your apn list you should be safe at least on a nexus or other non-carrier\aosp device.

I tether all the time with my Galaxy Express and S4. While on Jury duty I tethered for 7 hours. I never did anything to hide my tethering, just used an app that side steps the phone home thing. I'm on the GoPhone $35 plan, both my phones have been moded to use the dumb phone plans.
In any unlocked phone that feature would work.

Hi guys, for the past week and a half my phone is losing data connection. In places I consistently get LTE the signal drops to H+ and I have no data connection, then after a few mins I get LTE back. This happens sporadically.
I've rebooted the phone, removed and reinstalled the SIM and contacted my carrier (ROGERS) they rebooted the system from their end but the problem persists.
Anybody else experiencing this issue and if so did you solve it?

So it's a hardware issue? Funny this never happened before, granted I did drop my phone and cracked the screen about 3 weeks. I wonder if that has contributed to the issue?!

Perhaps it is on your carrier's end. Remember, the phone can only establish and keep a data connection if the carrier's equipment is functioning properly. Who is your carrier? As a test, you could purchase a prepaid-sim on a different carrier and see if the data connection remains stable. I put a friend on H2O wireless (AT&T MVNO) and he has had zero issues with losing data connection.
Good Luck

I'm with Rogers (Canada). I have contacted them twice, they end up doing something on their end. I reboot the phone, I get LTE connection then I set my phone down and next time I turn it on minutes later it goes to H+ and there's no data connection.

I've had a similar issue, but with my XT1053 Moto X. During or after a call, my network would drop down to 4G (so H+ on the Rogers version) and I'd have no data connection. It would take a while to re-establish LTE, which gets kind of annoying. I'm not sure how to fix the issue just yet.
