Hi im coming from a note 3, and I was able to use the voicemail playback in call log feature that google voice has. It seems that this either doesnt work or is not supported on the M8, would anyone happen to have a fix or know how to make this work?

I have a question regarding google voice (I know, you wouldn't be able to tell by the title right?)
Anyway, somewhere I saw that when you recieve a call from Google Voice, a little white box comes down letting you know you're getting a call from google voice. I don't see that. In fact, I have two options, either I see it coming in as my google voice number (which doesn't let me see who is calling), or I have the number come in straight (which means I can't tell if it is google voice or regular number).
What I mainly use it for is Google Voice is my business number, while my personal number is well.. my personal number. Anyone have any pointers?

go to google.com/voice
settings>calls
if you want to know that it's from google voice that the number is calling, set it to caller id (in) > display my google voice number. but, you won't know who it is that's calling, only that they're calling from gv
then after you do the above turn on the caller presentation in the options where you have to press the 1 to answer the call
I guess what I'd like isn't possible as of now. There should be a way for the phone to tell if a call is coming via google voice (since it is coming through the data) and distinguish it as such. I'll keep playing around with it for now I guess.

Google voice doesn't use data for calls, currently.

this is a fact
what i meant with the caller presentation is it will make the person speak their name and when you pick up the phone you will hear "Call from..."persons name" press 1 to answer the call, " and then it gives you some options such as sending to voice mail and listening in on the call while they leave you a voice mail
I'm using a combination of Skype and Google Voice for VoIP on my Galaxy Tab, but the problem is in apps like Maps I want to be able to click a number and it asks if I want to complete the call with Skype. Instead it just says you cannot make or receive calls on the Galaxy Tab. How can I disable that message?
Since I got my Z1s a few weeks back I've had an issue with the Google Voice app and the Z1s native phone dialer.
I have always setup the google voice app to ask me everytime I make a call whether I want it to go through google voice or not.
If I set Google voice to "ask every time I make a call" whether to choose between calling through google voice or through the stock dialer, then I cannot use the stock dialer to make a call.
The call simply does not happen and the screen goes back into the dialer as though I had not tried to make a call at all.
The only way I can have the google voice app allow the stock dialer to make calls is to set google voice to "do not use google voice to make calls".
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it?
I did not have this problem on my previous phone (Xperia Z).
I am on the stock 4.4.4 ROM, rooted and deodexed, if that helps.
Hello, I have used voice on my s2 and s4, but cannot seem to get it working on my 510(sprint/boost).
The website at one point says it works with prepaid, and at another says it doesn't. Curious if anyone has it working. I use it for the visual voicemail, and sprints version costs three dollars a month. I know, cheap, but there you go. Can I do this?
Thanks,
David
I'm using Google Hangouts for calls and texting on my phone (using my google voice number) and it seems to work just great. You just need to download the dialer add-on for hangouts.
Haven't tried the voice app, though.

Has anybody got native Visual Voicemail in Google Dialer to work? I'm trying to on T-Mobile but it's a no go for me so far

I'm not on the same carrier but I failed to get it to work properly with mine I could get notifications and call I'd but no actual message.
For t-mobile this has been "broken" for months.
From the web it seems that T-Mobile dropped support for the built in visual voicemail. You have to use their app and well it doesn't work ever for me. It doesn't sync, or notifies, and constantly throws error saying we can't access voicemail please dial voicemail instead.
This just means my voicemail is now never ever checked.
Sign up for a Google voice. Set the phone calls to forward to the number if you are not available. Use it for voicemail. It will transcribe and email them to you.
Att's app sucks also. I miss my built in from Windows mobile 10 and this was the next best things.
