Are you sure that you entered your google voice number properly in the forwarding options? I had trouble for the first few hours, but called T-mobile and they checked the forwarding settings... now it works properly.
In the call log, you will see only a missed call. The message itself will only show up in your gmail list, and the browser version of google voice... I think.? There is also a stand-alone .apk app for gVoice, available in the play store]

I am sure ebbed it right as it works just fine for calls. But in a 4.1 I believe they added the option to have your vm show up in the call log to listen to only. This worked fine on my n4. And the option is selected in the stand alone app.

I'm having some strange issues with GV on my Z1S. Just switched to T-Mobile last week and immediately made GV my voicemail. I removed my number from the website and re-added it, went through the prompts, and got the forwarding working. Now, I have 2 strange issues:
1. All the time the phantom voicemail icon will appear on my phone. I force quit "phone" (the app) and it goes away, but it'll show up sometime tomorrow or when I reboot my phone or something.
2. The GV voicemail seems to work intermittently (may have some effect on #1). Meaning, someone will call me and tell me they left a message, but the message is no where to be found. My theory is the forwarding didn't kick in, the message went to T-Mobile voicemail, and the phantom icon appeared. However, I can't yet confirm that.
Anyone dealing with either of these issues?
Is there a way to check my T-Mo voicemail after I've set everything up with google voice?
Thanks.

Same issues am having. For number 1 i am going to try and reset my number from the website.
For number 2 I just disabled the option to see vm in the call log.
The Phantom vm is tmobile picking up and then GV taking over so essentially a vm on each. It's annoying

Call Log

How Can I keep my call log forever?
I think the default setting I currently have is limited to 500 calls.
Thanx
well I installed an app that upload all my call log to my Google calendar in real time. its brilliant. I created a separate calendar called "my calls" and now I have a permanent complete history of all missed and received calls. its a free app call "call track" or something.
but I don't know if you can extend the built in call log length. mine seems to go back 30 days which makes my list freaking enormous.

Anybody got the apk for CallTrack? Doesn't show in Market for me...
yeah I just double checked and its called "call track", free in the market. I guess it doesn't show up in the market for you? its a great app exactly what would help you.

Official Hangout v2 Update

Finally got mine just a little bit ago, did a search on our in the General Sub-Forum for any threads on this so figured I would start it. Pretty stable so far for me.
Are you able to send and receive MMS? I still can't..

haven't had any issues yet, slower than using stock app but still goes through for ME. Takes around 4-5 minutes to round trip send myself one and receive it.

Same here. It's pretty slow.
A good way to get any of the MMS to send almost as fast as it does in stock messaging app is to attempt to send the MMS and you can immediately make a call or AirPlane Mode or Mobile Data toggle it and then hang up or disable AirPlane Mode or Enable Mobile Data and it'll send much quicker. The phone call method only when on 3G though, not LTE
How is the interaction with google voice? I frequently dont receive messages using GV integrated on sprint.
Hangouts took control of the voicemail on my phone after I enabled SMS. Instead of getting a voicemail notification I received a text saying I had a message.

It's ok. Full integration won't be until May 2014 though.

Were you able to figure out how to disable that sms voicemail? I'd rather use the visual voicemail that came with HTC One.
No, I had to undo sms with hangouts.

I was having the same problem. Download System Panel lite from the play store. Open GV then press back. Open System Panel and tap on GV in the list then tap exclude. This will stop the service from being flushed.
The problems i have with MMS is that it has to be on 3G to send. Otherwise (if i am on 4G or Wifi) it wont send.
I currently have a mod to enable MMS on wifi with the stock app, that also takes the compression off.
Also. It wont send SMS when roaming. I need to be on sprint.
Do you guys expreience this too? Or is it just all the mods i have affecting my phone?
Not Sure But..
Theres an Stock Messaging app in the play store that does SMS over Wifi.
Its basically the CM messaging app with some extra goodies.
Its called 8SMS
id supply a link but XDA isnt letting me post a link since im new. Sigh
Hangouts is terrible with mms/ group messaging

Sprint moto x voicemail issue

So a couple of days ago I sideloaded the 4.4 hangouts app and selected SMS. For some reason after I did this my voicemail reverted to something called sprint SMS voicemail. I get a text from sprint saying I have a new voicemail and I provides a number to call or an HTML link. The number is always a busy signal and the link opens chrome and what looks like a flash player but nothing plays. I try to reenable the visual voicemail app, but cant select it in the app manager. Thus I no longer have voicemail. I suppose I might have to wait for kit Kat, but does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this problem in the meantime?

Same here, only difference I have the real Hangouts, I realized it yesterday (I don't get many VMs), I wonder if it has anything to do with HG...
UPDATE: Apparently it's a major Sprint issue, I just Googled it, but I couldn't find a fix... G'luck and lemme know if you found anything

My own update:
Based off my research, it appears that the problem is that the hangouts app grabs the voicemail sms and intercepts it before the voicemail app can retrieve it. Thus as it stands now, hangouts sms is incompatible with sprint v vm. Hopefully the sprint kit kat update will fix this problem.
As of now the only way to get v vm is to disable sms in hangouts and to renable the v vm app. I've done this,and my voicemail is working normally now.

This might be a dumb question but I can't get my voicemail to work after disabling SMS in hangouts. What exactly did you do to re-enable the VM app? Also, I have the Sprint HTC One but I haven't seen this talked about anywhere else.
thanks.
Two things: reload the latest .apk (search for it on xda). Once it is loaded reenable the app in settings. Open the app and rerecord your greeting.

Nexus 5 visual voicemail thread

Let's make this thread dedicated for suggestions on visual voicemail options on the Nexus 5!
With that out of the way, I'd like to point out in case anyone else may have missed it like I think I must have, but not sure if its a 4.4.1 thing, but I noticed that in the stock phone app, when missed calls come in and someone leaves a voicemail, a voicemail icon will appear under their name, along with a play button, which when pressed plays the voicemail along with options to play via loudspeaker, scrubbing, voicemail info, etc.
Before updating to 4.4.1, I was confused on visual voicemail. There's also Google voice you can get on the play store, but I like that VV is in the stock phone app, and straightfoward . I have sprint so apparently there's no extra app like with other carriers.
Any suggestions? Detail on features would be nice
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Mine just sends a blank text from 9479 or something like that. Then I have to call the old school way.
Yeah it did that at first. At least that was while on stock 4.4. I just ended up using Google voice, but once I upgraded to 4.4.1, I just noticed today the missed call and visual voicemail with it.
Have you actually called into your regular voicemail and setup through the prompts? Maybe its something that occurred cuz I set up for Google voice, though the stock phone app mentions Google voice nowhete

[Q] Mi Mix and Google Voice issue...

I am seeing an issue with my new Mix when trying to place a phone call with the Google Voice app set for GV to make all calls. The animation to go to dialer appears and very quickly you can see the call start to be placed but then it closes and returns you to precious screen.
Anyone else seeing tgs, afraid GV is a must have for me so going to have to eBay the phone (love it otherwise) if no solution. Tried clearing app, reinstalling, and all the settings I can think of but all to no avail.
I have MIUI global v8.0 (8.0.7.0.0 MAHCNDI). Localization set to China, nothing else seems like a better option, so left it but changing didn't make any difference.
same issue mate
Sucks, love the phone but can't give up my Google voice for it. Anyone have an idea for a workaround/fix?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using XDA Free mobile app
I can verify GV doesn't work on making calls on the EU rom either. Will report back down the road once there are updated weekly EU roms available from MIUI / xiaomi.
I heard someone who did the Hangouts transition say it works for GV calls. I haven't ever done the Hangouts transition simply because it doesn't seem to carry text messages forward and I prefer having them all in on place rather than having old messages in GV app and new ones in Hangouts.

Hey I have a Mate 8 with the same issue (mix on the way tho) and as I was investigating I read somewhere that most Chinese made phones have this issue. The only real workaround is to set gv to ask every time. It sounds annoying at first but it's less annoying then my calls not going thru or people asking what number is this (because they don't recognize my actual cell number). It has something to do with the timing of the handoff from gv to cellular. I have not had any issues once it asks call with/without gv. I would suggest giving this a shot.
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-AL10 using Tapatalk
Curious, never tried the ask every time setting. Things worked fine e if I did the hangouts dial and set Hangouts to get GB calls and texts. On this Mate 9 (Chinese version) it works fine set to make all calls.
Sent from my Huawei Mate 9 using XDA Labs
This bug persists
On both the Chinese ROM and the EU ROM, using GV to make calls causes the dialer/phone app to crash, always. "Ask every time" causes it to crash as well.
I use hangouts to make outgoing calls. Google Voice itself is still capable of forwarding incoming calls to my phone's actual number (one I never use), so the actual phone app accepts any and all incoming calls. However, I have to dial out using Hangouts (kind of annoying).
So now I use hangouts for everything phone-function related on my end, and have the actual contacts app and phone app squirreled away somewhere where it won't accidentally get used (unless I want to). The only downside (I like Hangouts, but that might be a problem for some), is that my outgoing calls use VOIP (data). It's almost a nonissue, but it would be nice if MIUI worked with GV the way American android builds do.
Curiously, yesterday GV make all calls stopped working for me and I had to set to ask every time. Then today ask every time stopped working. I went round and round uninstalling contacts and diapers and hangouts. Finally got it all working setting hangouts dialer as default dialer and GV make every call. Workable, but would prefer regular Google dialer and GV but tried APKs from APK Mirror for last few versions of Google dialer and they won't install, v7 says parse error and v6 says folder expected not found. Ugh. Anyways, at least it is working now.

I finally received my phone and I am seeing the same as you guys, can only make gv calls with hangouts dialer. I'm getting sick of Google's lack of support for GV and am giving real consideration to just porting my number out. Smh I've had gv since it came out.
FYI: If you're using the hangouts dialer then you don't even need the gv app anymore. #ijs
Sent from my MIX using Tapatalk
Actually, my understanding is for Hangouts to use Google Voice for calls and/or messages you still need the GV app installed and logged in.
Agree on Google's lack of support. It is platform wide, they just do the in favor and out of favor thing too much. If/when they kill GV I will be killing my g-apps and moving to O365 anyways, only reason I use Google-sphere extensively is GV. Everything else can be gotten elsewhere and is generally better elsewhere at that.

I have Mi Note 2 Global Edition with stock ROM MIUI 8.0.13. Using phone dialer with Voice+ app to initiate call back doesn't work either
Of course I can call using Hangout with data, but I prefer call via cellular tower due to sound quality and price (free incoming call). I have found a workaround:
(1) Open google.com/voice with browser (such as chrome) on the phone. It should be redirected to mobile version.
(2) Specify a callback #
(3) Call a # using the dialer in the browser
After (3), it will initiate a callback to the # in (2)
add me to the club...picked up the Mate 9 yesterday and now, not being able to use GV on the Mate 9 is a show-stopper for me. this is a great phone, but i'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to dependent on my GV number.
I "migrated" over to Google Hangouts for my GV #. I've downloaded Hangouts dialer app and it's linked to the GV #. I'm able to call from the Hangouts dialer no problems.

sure, glad to help. It should be a VOIP call. You'll note that it says that you're calling from your VOIP number. Check the settings in hangouts on which default number it uses. Also, if you switch over to hangouts for texting, you might notice your contacts not "syncing". That's actually not what's going on, it's just the way the phone is reading the stored numbers. If you have questions, I can put in the steps to get that converted fairly painlessly.
I have other issues w/ google on how it's handling hangouts in the past and future. When they abandoned GV, hangouts was the only place to go for the VOIP #. Messenger, Duo and Allo do not have integration w/ the GV #. Hangouts used to be better. But you don't have a hangouts web portal (only for text and MMS) to put in a phone number and have it call you at your cell or elsewhere. But the GV portal is still available for the time being.

thanks again for your feedback. i've been using Hangouts for everything that it can be used for except Hangouts dialer. now that i have this workaround, the Mate 9 will be my daily driver for the next 2 weeks. the least of my concerns will be battery life. appreciate your replies to my slightly off topic questions,

Why not switch to GV in hangouts? It is better in every regard... and you can use the hangouts dialer.
I do to an extent as I have too. But Hangouts is annoying in a few ways, that is why it failed and is being retooled as Enterprise app.
