Anyone know how to get past the voicemail settings option when setting up Google Voice on Null23?
It gets to the carrier settings and crashes the app every time, even is you choose to skip the settings.
Google voice thinks the Gear is a phone, on a tablet it doesn't ask you any of those questions because
it thinks the device is not voice enabled.
Thanks

Has anyone been able to get Google Voice to work on their phones? I have the 64gb Dev Edition and for some reason it keeps failing during setup. Any ideas?
I got it to work eventually (T-Mobile edition HTC One) but it took some effort; first, I would try deleting your forwarding phone number from Google Voice's website, uninstalling the app/clearing data, and then adding the number back on the web page. Then check the box to enable call forwarding/voicemail service and it will give you the number to dial on your phone; do that, and it should set up the voicemail successfully (it will still say "Carrier" under your call settings, changing it to the Google Voice option never works for me). Then I would reinstall the app and set it up again. Hope that helps; it's kind of a pain but it worked for me. Although I would add that for whatever reason it stopped working and I had to repeat this process later on. So it's kind of hit and miss, at least on T-Mobile.
right now gV is going through changes. since google actually wants to hack gV away and intergrate the functions into google hangout. so those using the gV tunneling method to be on 30$ prepaid 4g plans might be SOL for a bit. while google works this **** out. not sure though might have to get one of these guys to confirm.

Are you trying to set it up to be your voice mail provider? If so, I've successfully set my phone up, but I wasn't able to do it through using the in app method. I had to manually set it up so it send calls to Google Voice.
If you go to settings > Call > Call forwarding > Then set the options to:
Always forward: Disabled
Forward when busy: My Google Voice #
Forward when unanswered: My Google Voice #
Forward when unreachable: My Google Voice #
Also, you might notice there is an option to change your Voicemail service after selecting Call from the setting menu. I left this alone... My phone has that option currently set to My carrier.
In the end, these settings forward any calls that come in to your Google Voice number just like it would if you were able to get through the set up using the in-app feature.

Fixed *kind of* using this method.
I tried the method in the 2nd post but it still didn't work so all I ended up doing was changing my "Carrier Voice Mail" number to my Google Voice number.
Settings/Call/Voicemail Settings/Changed number to Google voice number.
And now it works fine!
Thanks for all the help guys.

Glad you got it working!
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.

With Verizon, you have to manually set the call forwarding to your Google Voice. There are 3 different instances when you want to have your calls forwarded.
See this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/fix-google-voice-forwarding-advanced-t2980980
When setting up Google Voice app on the phone, it will probably tell you that the app couldn't set up voicemail properly. That is ok, because you are doing it manually.
However, with the latest Hangouts/SMS changes, I'm not even sure you need the google voice app, if you set your google voice messages to use Hangouts.
I recently purchased a Nexus 6 (unlocked) off of the play store. My carrier is Verizon so I took my existing Verizon nano sim card and popped it in and now I am up and running. I want to use Google Voice for my voicemail instead of having to call and check it through verizon. I have an actual google voice number, but I don't want to use that I just want any calls to my mobile number to use the google voice greeting/inbox.
On my previous phone I used the Verizon Basic Visual Voicemail. Normally when I install Google Voice and go through the configuration setting it as the primary voicemail option in the settings it automatically switches over and when someone calls they hear the greeting "The google subscriber you have reached.....". In my case with the Nexus 6 people still hear my Verizon greeting no matter what I do and I keep getting a notification to download the Verizon Visual Voicemail App from the play store to check it. I refuse to do this, the point of me getting this Nexus 6 was to do away with any Verizon garbage.
Has anyone else gone through this? On my past 4 phones I have simply been able to download Google voice, install, configure, and it overrides the Verizon voicemail. The only thing I can think of that is different this time is that I am subscribed to the verizon basic visual voicemail from my previous phone because I wanted to give it a try.

My first suggestion would be to be sure you are unsubscribed from the Verizon VM on your account. Then, open your dialer, click the 3 dot settings button, click settings, then select calls. Click voicemail, then service. See if you have any options there. I'm on Sprint and Google voice integrates through my carrier so that is the only option I see in that location. (Your carrier).
Then you can click set up, there you could manually set your Google voice number as your voicemail number.

After further research I am pretty sure I have to put my sim chip back into my LG G3 and cancel my verizon VM subscription. Then put the sim back in my Nexus 6 and go through the Google Voice setup process again. I just didn't think Verizon would have control over it somehow after subscribing to their visual voice service.
Also, open Google voice from a desktop PC or desktop view and ensure you've completed all the steps to integrate.

There really aren't any steps.. I logged in and it shows my Google Voice # and then my Mobile Verizon #. I definitely don't want to go through with the Google Voice activation process to my phone because then it forwards all calls to my Google Voice #. I just want to use Google Voice for my voice mail which should have nothing to do with my GV # and the only thing I should have to do in the settings is update my greeting. The reason I know nothing should have to be touched is because on my past 4 phones when I wasn't a subscriber to Verizon Visual Voicemail, Google Voice would install and configure with no problem. Of course that message would come up saying Google Voice is not compatible with my carrier (Verizon) but it would just start working anyway.

Well, I'm glad you figured it out for yourself. Good luck! :good:
Here is a paste from another thread. With voice over LTE a lot of things don't work right and you have to forward voicemail to Google Voice to make it work.
—-----------—
If you are having trouble configuring Google Voice as your voicemail service on Verizon you can make the switch manually by dialing all three of these activation codes:
*71[Your Google Voice number]*-- This turns on Conditional Forwarding, which should transfer*calls to your Google Voice number when your Verizon phone is*busy or unanswered after 3 to 6 rings.*90[Your Google Voice number]*-- This turns on Busy Transfer, which transfers all calls that would hear a busy signal to your Google Voice number.*92[Your Google Voice number]*-- This turns on No Answer Transfer, which*transfers all calls unanswered after 3 to 6 rings to your Google Voice number.To Deactivate the Call Forwarding, dial *73 [Send]To Deactivate the Busy Transfer, dial *900 [Send]
To Deactivate the No Answer Transfer, dial *902 [Send]

Yes, this. Google Voice voicemail never worked for me on Verizon unless I did these steps, even before VoLTE came along.
anyone know how to disable/remove the voicemail app and replace it with google voice?
My experience is you cannot disable the Sprint voicemail.
So, I just installed Google Voice and use that instead. I see that the Sprint Voicemail is still running, but all my calls go to Google Voice. So it's a bit of a waste of memory by forcing me to run the Sprint Voicemail instead of just disabling, but I don't see any way around that until our phones get root.
Anyone else know how to force an app to be disabled? Only some default apps seem to let you disable, and Sprint Voicemail doesn't seem to be one of them.
Do you only need instructions to forward vm to google voice /hangouts?

Debloater will let you disable system files.
Yes I'm can't seem to figure out how to use Google voice for my voicemail
Load voice and hangouts. If voice is already loaded, clear the cache and data.
Launch voice, select the proper username for voice. Select no incoming or outgoing calls. You will then get a gray config box. If it doesn't launch your dialer, finish the install then open the dialer. Enter *28 and your google voice number (ie *285555555555) and press send. You will hear two quick dial tones. This forwards calls that are not picked up and routes to voice. From a desktop go to voice.goole.com. Press the sprocket. Select the option to forward all messages to email (not text).
Back on phone, disable all notifications in voice (as Google Voice redirects data to hangouts). If you don't disable, you will get dual notifications. Run hangouts, set your notifications. Disable calls from hangouts to ring the phone, unless you want that.
Once everything is groovy, hide icon for Sprint voicemail if you are not rooted.
I had no issues at all just enabling google voice as always. No Sprint voicemail at all.
If you use google voice and don't want it fully integrated with your sprint number then be careful. Just skip any integration stuff when you first run it. Then it will give you a phone number to call to forward your voicemail to google voice.
While some might like the full integration I prefer to be able to switch between using my cell number or my google voice number on the fly.
