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.

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.

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.

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.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
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'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!
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
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.
Can someone provide with this info?

I have the fix guys! Mine is working, here is what you do:
- Set up the Google voice app first. (Make sure to chose Google as your voice mail option in the setup.)
- Next,go to settings on your phone.
- Go to call forwarding
- Leave the first option alone
- Change the bottom three options to your Google voice mail number.
I don't know if it will fix SMS or talk but voicemail does work after you change the settings. I don't use sms or talk.

The problem with Google voice force closing in 4.2 has been fixed. I just downloaded the update and it now works.

Exellent! Thanks for the update. I am impressed with how quickly developers are fixing application issues.

It would force close if you went into it to send a text message.

Voice is screwed on my phone -
Was using voice for texting and voice mail. Have texting blocked through AT&T.
Now with the update, voice is requiring that my phone send a text through AT&T to set up voice.
I can't send the text becuase texts are blocked.
Any way around this so I can just get back to using voice the way I did before the update?
