Is anyone else having problems getting the native visual voicemail in the dailer to activate? I'm on T-Mobile and so far I've tried everything I can think of and the visual voicemail just won't activate.
Uninstall T-mobile's visual voicemail
Uninstall T-mobile's visual voicemail/ or any other visual voicemail app. When you open up the phone app it should pop up, you may have to reboot after uninstalling those apps but thats what it was for me.
I'm on Simple mobile (a T-Mobile MVNO) and I can't get theirs to work either. Support is no help.

I don’t have any other voicemail apps installed. I installed T-mobiles VVM app and it seems to activate fine. I uninstalled and tried the native Google VVM and again it fails to activate.

T-Mo seems to be working on things regarding VM. I received this text today.
wait... u can get voicemail in the phoneapp again? i thought that ended a while back... i was installing an old version of google voice for a whle to keep it in the phone app...
so, if i uninstall google voice i can get voicemail in the phone app? or do i have to go through this process?:
1. Uninstall the newer Google Voice (temporarily). Prior to uninstalling, I wipe the app's Cache and Data too as a precaution, so I can't report on the results of following these steps without doing that.
2. Go to the APKMirror website and download the latest Google Voice v4.x APK, something like v4.7.10.
3. With Unknown Sources checked in the Security Settings on your phone, install and fully setup the old Google Voice version, including setting your Phone app to use Google Voice for voicemails.
4. Once it's all setup, you can update Google Voice to your heart's content. Note that if you go into the Phone Voicemail settings you'll see that it still doesn't give you an option to select Google Voice, but you'll also notice that it appears as if the only setting it now shows (Carrier) is not selected either, so the setting is retained even though you can't select it with the newer Google Voice installed.
5. Re-disable "Unknown Sources" if you wish.
Whats the problem?
i cant get it to work on att, but i dont think it ever did. i was able to get the visual voicemail in the phone app, but not with a transcript... but i have to use the old google voice app. make sure to set te old google voice to use phone app for voicemail. when i updated google voice it stopped updating voicemails in the phone app, so i guess ill just keep the old google voice app.

Are you on Tmobile? If so, do you have voice to text add-on on your account?
Trying to figure out what the issue is because nothing seems to work for me.
Make sure that your phone is not forwarded to another messaging service. If you ever tried another voice messaging app, sometimes they do this automatically. If you forget to undo it then you will not receive voice messages. You can bring your messages back by disabling call forwarding. To do this, call ##004# for Tmo/Att or ##002# as a generic default that should work for all other US carriers. Verizon should be *73 and Sprint *730 .

Yes tmobile. Not sure if I have voice to text add on.
I'm starting to think this is a T-Mobile account settings issue. Does those who have it working I'd be interested in seeing if you have visual voicemail or voice to text enabled in your account settings.

On built in visual voicemail the transcription is done through Google and so you shouldn't need the T-Mobile add on any more, saves $4 a month.

Well the carrier can disable this setting, but T-Mobile seems to be ok. I know AT&T does disable built in visual voicemail though.

Right out of the box?
AT&T needs to turn it on first.

It will call your voice mail.

Okay, so when I activate my device, do I need to call ATT to turn it on?
I thought its a paid feature? Just use Google Voice instead
Google Voice did not seem to be working on my phone. Anyone able to get it working on theirs, or is there some issue with Google Voice and the S3 for now?
AT&T Messages
you need to get AT&T Messages from the Google Play Store you will get all you message, Voicemail, and calls in one spot.
From the main/home screen go two screens to the left and click on the AT&T Messages icon. It will walk you through the setup as mentioned above. I believe it specifically states the service is free (as it should be).
Now my question is why didn't they put this on the main/home screen? Why not make it the default? Who wouldn't want VVM?

There is already a thread about google voice's voice mail. You just have to dial a number to activate it. On mine it still says Carrier Voice mail, but my missed calls actually go to google's voice mail.
I went to the Play Store and downloaded AT&T's Visual Voicemail app. That worked well.

Visual Voice mail is great for voice mail. Really nice app. Love it.
AT&T messages combines text, voice mail, ect. rendering your regular messaging app useless or getting double notifications, and you can't turn them off from the at&t app. (it is basically the devil. And I made just to disable it as soon as I got the phone.)

that's why you call the # code.
art vvm app is OK, but Google voice has a cleaner look and operation. neither is intuitive to set up though so read the directions.
att messages is terrible and should be disabled or uninstalled or nuked from orbit.
No matter what I do I can't get att visual voicemail to work. The app tells me that it is has not received a response from att. I've called att and my account is set up correctly but the app still doesn't work so I just gave up and use YouMail.
Ok, I really want to use the latest roms but AT&T's visual voicemail program does not work on TW 4.1+ roms. Can anyone suggest other visual voicemail programs that are robust and clean? Don't want to use google voice. All suggestions are appreciated. And thanks!

I'm on ATT and could never get Google voice to connect to my voice-mail provider. I've tried it on a couple different roms...same outcome.

you need to speak with an at&t rep and have them change your forwarding number to your Google voice number. Just be up front, tell them that you want to use Google voice, they will take care of it. I've been using Google voice for my voice mail for over a year now...
Works great..never had an issue...

You can actually do this yourself. In your dialer, hit menu, then settings. Go to call forwarding, and set it as such:
Always forward - Disabled
The other 3 set your Google Voice number, as +1xxxxxxxxxx with xxxxxxxxxx as your phone number. No dashes, no spaces.
Alternatively, you can absolutely call AT&T for this.
Afterwards, set your voicemail to google voice (also in dialer settings) and set google voice to auto sync. Done.
Anyone else having issues with their Verizon Voicemail on the 5X? Whenever I get a voicemail, instead of the regular notification that I have a new voicemail, I'm getting a text message with a bunch of gibberish, like this:
Code:
//VZWVVM:SYNC:ev=NM;id=4;c=1;t=v;s=xxxxxx;dt=27/10/2015 09:30 -0500;l=7;dev_t=5
Of course I just got off the phone with Verizon level 2 technical support and they told me that its my phone and it isn't compatible with the way their voicemails are handled in their system, which is just their way of passing blame to someone else.
Anyway, I'm still able to receive and check my voicemails, I just don't get the proper notifications anymore, just a text message with gibberish. I've tried the default google messenger and also Textra, and both do the same thing (thinking maybe it was my SMS app).
I also don't have visual voicemail, and told the verizon rep i just want basic voicemail, and they told me their free voicemail is some sort of basic visual voicemail now, which I think is part of the problem.
Any suggestions, or can anyone verify their voicemail notification icon is working correctly??

Same issue when setting up my sister's 5X. I had the issue initially when getting my Nexus 6 on Verizon very early. There will be an updated verizon visual voicemail app for nexus phones on Verizon in the future just as Motorola came out with one for the Nexus 6 IMO. There was one for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon as well back in the day. Until then, your best bet is to use Google voice to handle Voicemail. Works really well once you have it set up. If you dont use your google voice number for anything else; set it to do not disturb in the settings on your desktop so that it goes right to voicemail once your Verizon line is not picked up.....

No, you will not need the google voice app. You will need to access settings in google voice on your desktop. You can create a greeting through there and set the google voice line to do not disturb if you are not going to utilize it for normal calls. You will need to utilize hangouts to access the voice mails. They will come as texts and you can also listen to them through the hangouts app. Works really well in my opinion.

Call Verizon and ask for disable visual voicemail. Ask for standard voicemail and block both standard and advanced visual voicemail. Then the old school voicemail indicator will work again.
This is the same issue CM users have had on Verizon with their visual voicemail.

I was told that would work as well when on the phone with Verizon.....
Just did a test on my 5x (Verizon) and it went into my VM and after I left a test message and hang up, it gave me the notification icon and sound. I never had visual VM before, so I don't know if that is the reason. Otherwise, working fine for me.

That is correct. However, did you make sure you have advanced calling activated on your account so that you can do data over voice..... Voice over LTE? Call in and activate it with Verizon if you dont. Sometimes with the activation of that , it automatically enters you into basic visual voicemail which can then be a problem.

This must be what happened with me, I activated advanced calling and I'm guessing that triggered basic visual voicemail which is the problem.
And the tech I talked to told me there was no way to remove basic free visual voicemail and go back to standard voicemail. Maybe she is wrong, I'm not sure, but either way I'm content with using Google Voice for now.

Yes, do this, for now anyway, until Visual Voicemail catches up with M. I still have Advanced Calling enabled, as well as HD calling, so VoLTE should work. With the Visual Voicemail removed (by VZW via chat in my case), I just get the old school simple voicemail notification on the status bar and dial *86 to retrieve.
Verizon Wireless Fixed my Issue
I had this issue since I got my Nexus 5X 2 months ago, and Verizon Wireless just fixed it over the phone and now it works fine. I don't use visual voicemail or anything fancy, although I used to use Google Voice up until a year ago.
He basically reinitialized the voicemail, so I had to set it up again from scratch, re-recording my outgoing message etc.
I should also mention my texts didn't work sometimes either... some MMS messages would just say "Downloading" and never download, and this happened often on my old Droid Maxx HD. The workaround was to disable wireless and wait for it to download over the data connection. Anyway this started happening on my new Nexus 5X also, but they reprovisioned the phone and fixed that also. :victory:
You can turn this off yourself from the My Verizon app or the website. No need to call Verizon. It's listed under "manage features".

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason you would choose to use Verizon Visual Voicemail over Google Voice Lite (that works with your carrier's phone# - without requiring you to use your GV#)?

I'm curious if it will work with Google Voice Lite without the Google Voice App. Having to use the app does get irritating when it stops running in background and causes delayed notification if you don't have Text or Email notification active. Also it does seem the app doesn't get updated much.
I have missed important messages in the past and now I check the Google Voice app at least once a day to make sure it had not stopped.

I haven't used the GV app on my phone in months (or over a year now) - had to check to see if it was still there To be honest, I don't think it is needed after the initial set up.
I get my notifications via an Email from GV to my mailbox, with the transcriptions and link to message - I also get a text message sent to my GV#, which results in a SMS on hangouts app.

Thanks for the reply but like I said before if you have Text and EMail notification turn off you just get a voicemail notification from native app and could use native app to check. But if the Google Voice App stops you don't get the Notification because messages do not sync with the native app.
Text and Email notification (icon) if you have a lot notification do not standout as much as the voicemail notification (icon). Would be much easier if Google would include Google Voice Lite in the native app without having the separate app for syncing.
Transcription has never worked well for me because everyone beside Robo spam that leave me a message have Spanish accents. (Funny to read and trying to guess what they really said) Google Voice Lite app has the transcription but would be better in native app.

Understood. I don't use the native app for voicemail notification, so I never ran into this issue. I just rely on the hangouts notification. Thanks for the clarification

Ah ok, very interesting. Never would have thought there would be a difference between sim slots?
When you say VVM is working- you mean the messages are actually being transcribed? If so thats awesome

Yes it is being transcribed. But only for sim 1. I don't think sim 2 supports it.

OK so I've been troubleshooting this for a few days in great detail. I can confirm that I have the provisioning right on VZW's side and both SIMs are working fine. To be clear, this problem is actually comprised of 2 separate issues that need to be resolved on the 7T via VZW:
1) Visual Voicemails for one of two lines do not download/open when two SIMs are active (with both Basic and Premium VVM provisioning). The only SIM that successfully downloads voicemails is the line that is designated as the Default SIM for Mobile Data. Let's say that SIM1 is being used for Mobile Data. The issue seems to be that VZW doesn't allow for SIM2 to download the VVM data via SIM1. You can test this by disabling SIM1, clearing the Phone app storage, rebooting, and allowing SIM2 to reactivate VVM. You'll see that all the voicemails come through just fine. When you activate a second SIM and a caller leaves a new voicemail, you will briefly see a VVM entry pop-up... then when you click Play, it shows an error and nothing is heard. So, again, my guess is that VZW isn't allowing VVM data for one SIM to download via another (likely a legacy security framework). This needs to be fixed by VZW (or OnePlus/Google would need make a second Mobile Data source available via the OS that apps could switch on/off as needed - note, only one can be active at a time with DSDS).
2) Regardless of SIM1 and SIM2 data issues, "Premium" VVM is only partially working on the current build of the 7T Phone app. Assuming SIM1 is active and designated for Mobile Data AND Premium VVM is correctly provisioned on VZW's side, when a caller leaves a new voicemail the audio is transcribed to text and delivered correctly to the phone. The text appears in the notification banner as previously stated in this thread. However, when you go into the Phone app and click on the new VM entry, all you see is the audio play/stop widget. None of the transcribed text is displayed. So, fair to say, this is an app issue which needs to be fixed by OnePlus.
FYI, I've tried every possible modified/patched build of the Google Phone (Go) app... and none of them worked with VVM. I'm out of ideas for a native dialer that supports Premium VVM. If *anyone* has two VM lines working on VZW, please share...

A way has been found.

Root solution doesn't count. Second SIM is for work... and I have Android Enterprise active, which won't authenticate on rooted phones. Still looking for a non-root solution...
The T-mobile VM app has always been hit or miss on my unbranded 3T. Switched to Google Voice just for the voicemail. Now that I have two lines forwarding unanswered calls to two Google accounts on my phone. it's one app instead of two and the translation is decent enough. Never had Verizon so maybe it has some features I'm missing out on.
