[Q] Verizon default voicemail

Hi? Does anyone knows how to edit the default verizon voicemail number? I noticed that even if a dial *86 the display number is different. Is there a way to edit it? In my contacts appear like voicemail but it doesn't give me the options to edit.
Appreciate any help.

If you go into ##program, I remember seeing the number for voicemail section. You should be able to override there.

Tanx! I'm not an advanced user so if you could detail me how to do that I would appreciate.

Have you had any issues with it? I was using it (moderately) then one of my friends claimed it completely messed up his iPhone (on AT&T). Eventually calling him would forward the call to some woman, lol.

...hes an iphone user...not exactly the most technically inclined im assuming?

as long as you allow GV to do the work, it's nearly impossible to screw up. GV will pull in your GV phone number and perform the VM forwarding command for you. You shouldn't even have to worry if your GV phone number matches what was assigned to you, everything is automatic.

Na. He's actually a real big nerd. But I do believe he messed up and wouldn't take blame, lol.

As long as you take the 10 minutes to set it up, it works great!

I have used it moderately as I said. I just never used it I guess like some others seem to. I just used it so clients I was doing work for could txt me a bunch n not actually blow up my phone. Id stop forwarding and just use the google voice site.

google voice not working

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)

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).

[Q] SMS Bugs in stock app

Hey guys,
I've been having weird issues with my SMS, and I had these problems about halfway through having my EVO 4G LTE. In SMS, some characters, such as _, @, &, and others of this type aren't showing up. They're replaced with a space on received messages. I can see them on sent messages, but the receivers say they arrive as boxes. I also have this issue with emojis. Is this a Sprint problem since it's been a problem with two different phones I've had? And how should I fix this?

Nope..just sent these characters you mentioned to my wifes S3 and another to my friends Evo LTE..They dont show up as boxes..The problem may be on your friends end possibly using a 3rd party messaging client because it's working over here.

It definitely isn't that. I've received messages from many different clients and they never work. Maybe my services with Sprint need to be refreshed our something?
Another thing, the symbols work in Google Voice...

The people you send or receive these characters, are they also with Sprint or do they have other providers?

Both Sprint and other providers. I have issues with my step brother who is in the same plan as I, and I have issues with my mom who is on AT&T.

Disabling Google Voice Sprint integration fixed the issue. Kind of an odd fix, but maybe this will help someone else.

I completely agree. I had a previous instance (about two years ago) where calls just wouldn't come through, and texts would come really late unless through their app. I had to disable it then, too. I like Google Voice a lot, but it's so buggy.

Just confirming, I sent above characters to 15 recipients and all received them in readable form. I also could see them when sent back to me.

[Q] Call Problems CM10.1.3-RC

Flashed cm10.1 release candidate today. Everything seemed fine, then I discovered I wasn't receiving calls and wasn't able to make calls either. Anybody have any similar issues? Anyone have any suggestions as to what I may have done to cause this or if there are any settings I may need to change? Please help. Thanks in advance.

I literally just had this problem and spent the past 5 hours with useless tech support.
Don't call Sprint tech support, they just end up doing something on their end that makes you lose your texting and data, too. They ****ed me so hard I have to go into a repair center.
I can't even get another phone correctly activated in the meantime to use as a placeholder.
I'm just as lost as you are, too.

Try ##786# menu and reset. Make sure you are in a good signal area, this will do hands free activation and update prl.

The problem with trying that is the phone number and MSID fields are now blank, and going into the other dialer menu ##221542# and setting them that way doesn't stick past the reboot it forces when you try and apply those.

Maybe try following this thread

Tried that a couple different times with a couple different tech support reps, each time the phone number and MSID don't stick afterwards.

Sorry I tried, I don't have any other ideas. Hopefully someone else can help.

My older phone is finally activated (took well over an hour for calls and data to come back to it, by far the longest I've ever seen a phone take). So at least I have a phone again.
Good luck OP, I'm going to visit a Sprint store tomorrow to see what they say. Report back in on whatever it is you try and what you find does/doesn't work.

Back from the Sprint store, the rep I had happens to be a flasher like one of us. I explained to him what had happened and he got right to ordering me a new phone after a $50 deductible.
So, OP, we were both SOL. The MSID had gotten corrupted (similar to how in the early days of the Galaxy S3, it had a chance to lose its ESN) and couldn't be re-written. Only thing to do is get a replacement.

MMS Issues?

Hi all, just got the M8 and it's a great piece of hardware.
But I seem to be having an issue receiving multimedia messages. I was just wondering if anybody else was having an issue with MMSing.
I'm planning on calling Sprint and seeing what they can do for me tomorrow.

Check your mms settings. Is it set to 5mb size? I couldn't send set to that size either, but setting it to 2mb works.

Sorry, should have specified that I'm on the stock ROM. The max message size is 2mb. At least that's what I'm seeing in the settings.

I also had that problem. I called sprint. We went thru the usual checks. I ended up getting transfered to 2nd level support. I was getting the error " general failure...........". I ended up resetting the phone to stock(hard reset) to clear the problem. Something in the restore hosed up the phone.

Yes. Everything worked perfectly. I guess the M8 does not like to have messages restored.

I was having problems and the solution I found is
##72786# and then menu then reset. After reboot I ran activation.
