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.

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.

Touchless Control, OK Google Now

I really like my new Moto X but touch less control has been disappointing. I'm batting about 60% on activating Google Now.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Update 28 Aug
The original phone was defective so no issues with new phone. Touchless Controls now works great!

Did you "train" the phone to your voice? Or does it even requires it?
Sent from my MB886 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I've trained the phone multiple times. Touchless control will not work when the phone is on deep sleep. Works OK otherwise.

Go into the "Assist" app, select "Driving" and make sure 'Resume Music Play" isn't checked off

It works perfectly for me. Just one silly question: how do I get the phone to greet me with my name instead of simple good morning or good afternoon? Where is the setting for the greeting phrase? Thanks!

why can't i start google now on my motox

Every time I use Google now to set a reminder it tells me to start opt in Google Now. And I just cannot start it. What does that mean?
Here are two screenshots showing my problem .

Quick Contact widget (How to get this, if possible)

Previously i was using Atrix 2. And it had a widget called Quick Contact - for reference http://tinyurl.com/p4vu7xy
Atrix 2 was officially supported till ICS. And it had the widget.
Any possible way to get the same widget in Moto X, on 4.4.2. ?
This is one great handy widget, which i miss.

secure box

Not sure if this is the proper thread guys so dont kill me. Since my company moved to verizon i have noticed that my device does not have the secure or blocked box under the messaging app. i was wondering if the sprint devices had it in their devices.

Are you talking about this?
