I've had no problems setting up Google voice this morning. Can you explain what is happening when you try to set it up?

When I go through the setup process on gv, it starts to communicate with at&t's servers and comes back with the error "failed to change forwarding number. Please contact your carrier if this problem continues." They have no idea....

I had the same issue, you can set it by looking for the help page found somehwere in your gv settings in the web interface. Basically it gives you the number to dial on your phone. Working for me after doing that.

All set, i activated it at the web site. Thanks!

After doing the setup, even if it fails, check the Call Forwarding numbers. It should show up Google Voice. Atleast that's what mine did.

Voice features

Anyone know why text to speech doesnt work with texting apps like go sms?
It says its broken to.check system settings but the option is greyed out and the test option works.
I'd like to for when I'm driving.

Right now we are waiting on a kernel that supports cwr...

I have call recorder 1.2.5 and seems to be working with many of the kernels here. I hadn't tried it bc the devs didn't mention cwr in their posts, it must be in the code bc they are working.

can you tell me your settings because i just tried it and it will not work, at least on the 'line', just from speaker, so like normal recorders, my voice is fine and theirs is very low

Haven't used it yet, but elegancia comes with one.

To record calls..
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda app-developers app

LOL another thread dive.
BUT wanted to say after finding this thread, i tried the latest version of Call Recorder 1.5.2 and love it.
Only one glitch so far. Some reason doesnt record direct to AMR, however a feature to record in WAV and after phone call, converts to AMR on the fly for file size.
I had a similar feature on my old Samsung D900 (middle east rom) and came in handy.
Anyway, my heads up in case someone is looking for something similar.

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.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda app-developers app

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.

[Q] sms test

The other day i stumbled upon an htc app that would send a test sms msg somewhere on my m8, but i cant seem to find it again.Anyone used this before and could remind me where it is? tried using search and google to no avail.. thanks!

may I ask what the purpose of the app is?
sent from HTC M8 using tapatalk

It sends a test sms msg to your device to ensure everything is working properly. For example , say you were using a third party sms app , like handcent or something, you could see that it was configured correctly, without having to wait for someone to send you a text.... i used it once , and its kind of handy, I thought it was in the htc guide>support>troubleshooting, .. but its not.

The sprint zone app has it. You could also just sent yourself a sms to test it
