HTC Incredible :: GV Voicemail Service Does Not Work For All Numbers
May 8, 2010
My understanding is that you can use GV's voicemail service in lieu of the carrier's voicemail, even with a non-GV phone number. I have selected the option in GV to use GV as the main voicemail for both my VZW and GV phone numbers. However, when someone calls my VZW number, they receive a "your call cannot be completed" recording and the call ends. Does anyone know how I can correct this? Is visual voicemail behind the issue?

I am using google voice for voicemail but kept my original phone number, not when it asked if I want a google number. My question is under Settings > Call > Voice Mail service, I see My carrier in Google Voice. Which one should I use and what does this do exactly. Would this effect my text messaging via verizon at all because I believe you can sms with google voice now?

I've got the HTC Hero, I want to divert specific numbers to voicemail at all times - is there a way to do this? I'm a total technophobe, so feel free to talk to me like I'm a 5 year old.

Certain callers will always leave a message saying "it's me, call me back" or something similar that is a PITA to have as a message.
Is there a way to disable calls from certain numbers from going to voicemail?

I made the upgrade to Google Voice today. But, after uninstalling Verizon's Visual Voicemail I am still getting text messages from Verizon that I have visual voicemail activity. Do I have to call them to cancel the service?

For my work voicemail, I have to call in.
I have it programmed in my contacts (or I did on my old BB) with the pauses and password pre-entered
However, with Google Voice, this doesn't work; when I have it programmed in, GV just calls my GV voicemail...
I can turn google voice off, or change it to 'ask every time', but really don't want to.....

I bought an evo last friday (june 4th) and received it Monday June 7th, and now a week later i would like to return it because of the light leakage problem im having at the bottom of my screen. my question is, i came from t-mobile, and ported my number and with that had to pay 100$ ETF, what would happen? as in, if i cancel my service, would i go back to tmobile with the same number and the ETF would be revoked? or what would happen exactly?

My app which was working on 2.1 and earlier version fails to run properly in 2.2. It relies on the location but I do not get any error message. However under DDMS /logCat, I see a message saying: Error message while getting the location address: Reason: this service is not available. This is coming more as an information message rather than an exception or error. The process that is printing it out is System.out. Note that I did everything possible ( I can think of) to upgrade the app to run in android 2.2. The API version was changed to 8.
The manifest file contains all the following:-
<uses-library android:name=*"com.google.android.maps"*/>
</application> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=*"8"* />
<uses-permission android:name=*"android.permission.INTERNET"*/>
<uses-permission android:name=*"android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"* />
<uses-permission android:name=*"android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"* />

So when I bought this phone I was told GPS will work without service. I'm in Asia right now for 9 months and it doesn't. From my research, I think the problem is that agps does a call to verify that local service is available before it will kick the regular gps in. Forgive my crude tech speak, but I imagine there must be some sort of workaround. Is there any way to fake the phone into thinking it has a sprint service signal or is there a way to turn off agps? There must be some sort of hack I can do. I hope someone can give me something, this phone is an expensive brick here. And no, turning on airplane mode enabling wifi and gps location services don't help. I've tried every possible combination, I can't use the GPS without the phone verifying the sprint network."you need a network connection to get the api call to work. Once its running you don't need the network for it to keep running. A guy in the Droid forum told me that.
He says that if you turn your phone on in another country the api would not get some sort of response (license) from the network and the gps would not work"

I have an Android Service that is started by my application and does some things in a threadPool using Executors.newCachedThreadPool()
Once it has finished doing it's work I would like the service to stopSelf(), how can I get the service to determine when it is no longer needed (ie, there are no more Threads executing) so that it can shut itself down automatically?

This is the scenario:
1 user has a main activity used for ii.
2 program needs to communicate with peers and keep connection and wait for messages
3 when a message comes it is shown in the main activity. so the question is should I use a service for the communication and what type of service? and also should I use Aspects in the service in order to keep my ii responsive and why?

I have a local Service running together with my application. I also have a class derrived from Application class.
When the local service is created it gets and uses the Application instance using getApplication.
Can the app itself be terminated while my service is still running and what happens if so? Would getApplication return null?

I'm on my parents family plan. Because I won't be able to take my parents to the store on Thursday morning (b/c of work) I am thinking of pre-ordering it. Will I be able to take it to the store for activation/transfer my numbers and everything without the "primary phone owner" or whatever Verizon calls the main number on the family plan? Whenever I try to call them or go online I'm unable to do anything because I'm not the head honcho.

I got the Droid yesterday, and I'm trying to use Google Voice *just* for voicemail. However, it seems like I never get notifications about new voicemail, unless the app is open. Also, recorded voicemail is very soft when it's played back, almost too soft to hear.

It would be interesting to know if the number of people buying apps is growing as fast as the number developing them. Has anyone seen data about either?

I hardly ever get Voicemails on my phone. However, I just got one and I went to check it and it is asking for a 4 digit pin. I remember getting an automated call from Verizon that they were altering their voicemail system, but now I don't know how to check it. Where do we go to set this up and create our 4 digit pin, etc?

In all of my other phones there was a way to add a pause and then your password to the autodial for your voicemail. Is there a way to do that on the incredible?

I had VZW visual voicemail (VVM) on my BB Storm before I got the Incredible. When I switched over, I noticed that the Incredible had a VVM app native to HTC, and I have been using that app. However, the $2.99 service is still on my VZW account which started when I was using the Storm. If I'm not using VZW's VVM app, do I need to pay the $2.99 a month to get VVM using HTC's app?

I have google voicemail setup on my phone now, i was under the impression that when i deleted a voicemail from within google voice it would delete it from my inbox but i keep the voicemail notification icon in my notification bar. is there a way to disable verizon voicemail or perhaps just a way to delete the verizon voicemails without having to actually call *86?

My Incredible has stopped receiving visual voicemails for some reason. It displays a notification stating that voicemail activities have been received, but I can see that it hasn't updated since September 7th. It is not downloading my new VMs. If I call *86, I can get them just fine.

when I first got my dinc. someone on here showed a awesome trick, by setting about a contact with the number as "Unavailable" you are able to set the contact to go directly to VM so you don't have to worry about those calls...Either VZW as changed something or it doesn't work on 2.2...how to make this work again?

Things i have tried to fix the problem.
1. Having someone leave me a voicemail, and then checked and deleted it.
2. Turning off the phone.
3. Taking out the battery.
4. Pressed * instead of hanging up when I exit voicemail.
I am relatively sure I know what caused the problem, I just don't know how to fix it. I had a voicemail that I had not yet checked on my phone when I signed up for visual voicemail. I then looked at it on visual voicemail, decided I didn't need to listen to it, and then deleted it. Therefore, I have this "phantom" voicemail still there even though I deleted it. I tried uninstalling the visual voicemail and then reinstalling it, but I was unable to uninstall it...
I am at a loss here, and I know it's not a big deal but it aggravates the bejesus out of me for some reason. Any ideas?

Is there anyway to make an mp3 file a voicemail greeting? Besides recording from the computer speakers as it plays? I was going to try to use this:
Old Spice Voicemail Generator | By Chriswastaken, Area, and Nelson Abalos Jr | Thanks to Reddit
It currently makes me laugh.6 months from now who knows but thought I'd try it for awhile.

I've never quite understood the connection. If you have a Google Voice phone number set to forward those calls to your cell phone, do you need to have the app running on your cell phone for this to work or can it be manually turned off?
I would imagine that the call forwarding would work regardless, but what about the app keeping track of those calls in a call list, or keeping track of the voicemails, etc.? Can you just open the app manually and all of this information will be there, or does it need to be running at all times in order to record the phone calls/voicemail as they come in?

I was interested in developing a clock widget for the homescreen and upon reading Home Screen Widgets tutorial, I wondered if there is a pre-existing Service I could reference for updating the current time rather than re-inventing the wheel?I download the Retro Clock application on my android phone and noticed that when I click it, it pops up the Alarm Clock settings, but with the default Google Analog Clock widget, upon click does nothing.Is that because the Retro Clock widget implements the Alarm Clock service? If so, how can I go about referencing that service? Or do I have this all wrong and misunderstood?

I've read several threads and still am not 100% clear. At home and at work, I have FULL 3G service (still no 4G in my area). If I turn on my WiFi at both places, will it use less battery? Particularly at work when get 50-100 emails during the day?
