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).

Verizon MMS doesn't group recipients

Hello, I hope I'm in the right section. I have a Verizon Motorola Moto X, and I love the phone, but I have a concern. Whenever I send or receive group messages, the initial message seems to include everyone that it pertains to. Once someone sends a message, they are moved to their own conversation with just myself. This is with the stock messaging application. Is anyone else having this issue or have been aware of it? I would simply like a way to fix it without another SMS client. Thanks!

do you have group messaging enabled under settings in the message app.

Yes, I do. I have checked and unchecked it as well.

Mine operates as you would expect. Perhaps the sender is the culprit here?

Did you ever figure this out?
Every thread seems to suggest that the other people in your conversation are the problem. When I had my iphone 4s (4 days ago), this was never ever a problem with the same people.

Same problem here. Seems as though users from other carriers group fine. Group texts from another Verizon user comes individually. Really odd

I think I found out hats going on, its people with Samsung Galaxy's are the culprit, but when I flashed the eclipse blur ROM with the bubble MMS it fixes the problem, I hope vzw fixes this aoon

Canadian Rogers/Bell No "Voicemail notification" thread

I just wanted to make a thread dedicated for this issue.
At the moment, it seems like there is no notification when you get a new voicemail on two Canadian carriers Rogers and Bell...until you reboot the device.
Let's share any News, update, or fix when available....here.
Thanks

Confirmed here. Bell mobility.

same here on Rogers. Called them about it, they're aware of the issue, but apparently leaving it up to Google to fix.

Hola
[email protected]#&*ing-believable!!! Thanks to this thread which I just happened to come across due to it being related to something Canadian I would never have known that this was an issue.
I had a number of vm that were very important and have now missed!
Bell network too. Thanks for informing us ignorant ones.

I'm on Bell and get Voicemail notifications too.
Edit - Spoke too soon. I had a notification from a previous voicemail that I hadn't deleted... tried out as you guys stated, and you're right.. no notification.

I'm on Virgin and I don't receive VM notifications until I reboot either. I also am not receiving a SMS notification. Which is crazy because I really only want a single notification period, not a VM and SMS.

Looks like Google is aware of the issue affecting some phones/carriers... It appears to be a KitKat issue, not a Nexus 5 issue as there are some people reporting the same problems on the Nexus 4 as well. 4.3 on those phones, notification worked fine... on upgrade to 4.4, started happening.

I know it needs the GPS to be turned on. I also wonder if mobile data needs to be on...
Do you ever see the "driving" notification on the status bar when you are 'on the road' ? (Give it several minutes to detect.)
Sorry, read your post better the second time...

Wanted to post back what finally fixed it for me. Uninstalled Textra and cleared data/cache for moto assist and assist framework. Then just setup moto assist preferences again and it started working.

MMS compression

My AT&T Moto X is sending MMS pictures that are to large to open. My Galaxy S4 always shows that its automatically decompressing when to large. Why does the Moto X not do this and what is the solution. Thanks in advance.

Anyone know the answer?? If this thing can't properly send a picture message I may get rid of it.

Compresses fine for me. Are you using a 3rd party messenger? Stock messaging and hangouts both will resize automatically. If they're not, you've likely altered something or aren't using the native messaging apps.

No, everything is factory set. No third party apps or anything like that. Most pics are sending fine, but some will say "to large" and show a hazard type sign... No idea. Thanks for the input

Same thing is happening on mine. I've tried sending pics to an S3 and the recipient gets " The media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction". I checked the details and the message size is in the 300-400kb range while picture messages I sent with an HTC doubleshot where usually under 100kb. Am I missing a setting? I am also using the stock messaging app, btw

I set hangouts to be the default messaging app and have successfully sent mms to other Android devices... So there's that.

My wife has the same problem with her XT1053 on T-Mobile. Sometimes instead of the picture, the recipient gets the media content size message.
We've tried sending the same image and different times and on or off wifi. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. We have not figured out a pattern.
We've also tried both the epc and fast apn and with or without MMS proxy set in the apn settings.
She's coming from an iPhone so anything that doesn't "just work" is a glaring deficiency.

whats the pattern you notice because mine has no pattern. I'm having the same issue, on tmobile using the t-mobile XT 1053. I attached a screenshot of the error message I'm getting.
Its been going on for week with me using AIO and using T-mobile, using 4.4 and 4.4.2. I even got my phone warrantied because of it. Still happening, obviously there is a software bug with the stock messaging app. also, my signal randomly disappears -___- I'm waiting on a call back from a level 3 technician.
Motorola, please take note of the moto x bug!

Try using hangouts. I can send anything. But I'm still on 4.4

ok, thanks for clarifying. I haven't been able to replicate it either. my girlfriend and i have been working on this issue for days lol. Next step is to get a refund. This says too much about Motorola and the state of android. grrrr!!! #fasterupdates

try 8sms.
maybe carrier restriction?

It's not a carrier restriction. Fact is, the MMS apk file does not include the code to compress down the image. I believe this is also happening with the AOSP Messenger as well. I'm not sure why, but I was having this exact same issue on some other ROMs on my RAZR HD. It's my guess that Google removed the auto-compression code from the AOSP messaging app in an effort to get people to use Hangouts.

I gave up on the stock messaging app and hangouts and use 8sms instead. Pictures are fine but I can only get mms through mobile data, not wifi. I'm on Tmobile so I think this is a limitation of the service... Unless anyone knows a way around this.

I use the stock MMS.apk and I have never had this issue. I've sent pics to iPhones, GS3/GS4, Nexus 5s, you name it. Never had anyone tell me they couldn't see my images. I'm still on Jellybean though, maybe it's a KitKat thing?

***IF YOU ARE HAVING THE ISSUE PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING***
So I'm curious as to what carrier you guys are using? Also is the problem sporadic or constant?
HYPOTHESIS: I have a good case that T-mobile's network is to blame, in my situation. I've been using t-mobile with 2 different moto x (I exchanged because the compression issue) I am currently using a t-mobile HTC One which I will be returning since I thought the issue was my moto x. The issue still occurs on T-mobile HTC One.
So I've had MMS messages always send but some arrive and some don't, using The HTC One as well as the moto x, using t-mobile. What's interesting is this:
All messages take long to send
Some say sent (verified by checking the time stamp and also clicking on the view details for the picture) but after asking the recipient they would tell me they never received it.
I tested with friends from other networks (Sprint and AT&T), they've sent me images and I have no problem receiving them
I've sent messages to friends using other carriers (non-tmobile) they had no issues receiving mine but they would take long to send
Doing the t-mobile customer service test ((SENDING A MMS TO MYSELF, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T ARRIVE BUT WHEN THEY DO THEY ALSO TAKES A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME))
My GF and I both have tmobile branded phones on tmobiles network and all the above situations happen to us both. all the ISSUES I mentioned occur when we text one another too.
I've been testing MMS messages for 2-3 weeks texting a T-mobile iPhone 5 and my HTC One (T-mobile) and 2 Moto X (T-mobile) (XT 1053) all phones were running latest software. So this rules out pretty much every variable. We both have good coverage and have not dropped our phones at all.
THEORY: T-mobile has been aggressively bringing in new customers for months now with all the new plans and marketing and whatknot. So I believe that Tmobiles network is either having proxy issues with MMS or simply they are experiencing network congestion with all the new customers. This is similar to the network issues people were experiencing when AT&T got the iPhone for the first time. Things were pretty bad around those time for AT&T customers and a lot of people.
last, This is the hardest evidence I could get so far being that I can't indirectly test each and every carrier lol
I really do hope this helps!
