Has anyone found a work around for the issues with Google Voice on the Eris? It seems that since the OTA on December 11th GV has not worked properly. I reloaded the RUU and found it fixed some issues on the Eris but the issue with GV remains.
What issues with Google Voice? I use it consistantly and I don't have any problems
Whenever I try to dial with Google Voice it get a network busy message. When i try with my Droid it works fine.
i found that after the update any number dialed the has a (+) in front of it will not work and GV always put a (+) in front for the number.
google voice updateed a few days ago and now it work on my eris
Fix
Go in to Menu - Applications - Manage Applications - Dialer
In Dialer under storage, press Clear Data. If there is anything under Cache Clear Cache aswell.
That should do it, worked on my phone.

I'm trying to use the native SIP function on my photon by adding SIP accounts in internet call settings menu. I can add the accounts and it says that it is registering fine but whenever I try to dial a number using a SIP account, the dialer FC's. This happens to both a pbxes.org account and my home freePBX server account. Is this happening to anyone else? I was able to use this function without a problem on the Evo 3D which I won't be going back to...
I'd rather not install SipDroid if I can just use androids native features instead.
Same issue here..have to use SIPDroid.

Also same problem ...havent tried puting SIPDroid back on....
I believe the dialer on this phone has some major issues. I am blaming it full on for the reboots that we are having. It seems to have issues with WIFI and it could be linked to the SIP issue. I think Moto did something to the dialer that screwed it up.
You can try groovip if you have a google voice number. It allows you to make voipcalls through 3g/4g/wifi.
Same with my wife's phone... I tried adding a sip account (from viopstunt) and it force closes as soon as the dialer launches. The phone is completely stock, never rooted. I know she has had at least 2 updates since we got it about a month ago. Gonna try sipdroid or something else and see. Mobile VOIP (the one from viopstunt) seems to work, but no voice when connectected.
I don't if this is a common thing but my voicemail icon does not go away and I do not have any voicemails when I call it. I tried turning off the phone and it still does not wanna go away can't figure out how to get rid of it.
Update: uuhh nevermind found a settings to clear icon lol please delete this
Where did you find it? I have the same issue. The "clear" right there that is with the pulldown does not do the trick; it clears everything but the voicemail icon.
I had the same problem when I first got the phone. I called T-MO support and they did something on their end that fixed it.
I had the same issue and when I called T-mobile they tried to do something on their end but could not fix it as I was using google voice on my old phone to handle voicemail. So I installed google voice and I changed the setup so my vm be returned to T-mobile. Called my phone to double check and T-Mobile voicemail options were coming up. I left a message and deleted it and everything cleared. Then installed google voice and set that up again and since then it has been fine. Thanks.

Had the same issue, went into manage applications, cleared data for phone, icon all gone.
Does anyone have experience using Google Voice without a data plan? My sister just bought a phone to use with Page Plus, and is porting her number to Google Voice.
Do calls work correctly without data? I read a while back that Google implemented a feature in the Google Voice app that downloads the direct access numbers for all of your contacts when you first install the app. How does it handle new numbers that you dial?
Is there a good way to text people without saving their Google Voice "proxy" number, and still have it come from your Google Voice number, without using data?
I use Sipdroid with Google Voice on my tablet.
Inbound and outbound calls over WIFI work pretty well for me. I just dial regular phone numbers.
I've never really used texting with Google Voice.
google voice pay as you go no data plane
Does anyone have recommendation on how to set this up to play somewhat reasonable all together.
I know functionality will be limited when no Wi-Fi is available but......
Text >GV>T-mob carrier>my phone
Call>GV>answer
- yes>got the call
-no> be able to see voice mail notification an call to check the voice mail
Anybody else having this issue? I'm getting an app crash when trying to switch carriers for voice mail from AT&T's to Google's. It was working perfectly fine with my S II.

On my Sprint SGS3, I wasn't able to set Google Voice as my voicemail on the phone itself. However, I went through the process as far as I could (within the Google Voice app), and then logged on to Google.com/Voice > Settings > click on "Deactivate Google voicemail on this phone". After that, re-enable Google Voicemail and you should be good to go.
Soon after that, the settings on the phone were greyed out and voicemails came in as expected.
Sorry if this isn't so clear! Time for bed and my brain isn't firing on all cylinders. Good luck.
It's not working for me either. Seems there's issues on Sprint and T-Mo too with the SGSIII and Google Voice. I hate using stock voicemail. Hope the next Google Voice update cures this.

while we're here, when someone leaves me a voicemail, it goes to my old phone that has the google voice app (it's still connected to wifi). it doesn't show up on my new phone though.
do i have to do something with my old phone to make it stop? or do i change some other settings?

bump?
i couldn't get this to work. the post wasn't very clear. did you go to google.com/voice on your phone or via website? i did via phone and don't see anywhere to "Deactivate Google voicemail on this phone". didn't see it via computer, either.
edit: so i found this via browser on my computer finally. reactivated and still no dice
I was only able to switch my VoiceMail provider from AT&T to GoogleVoice by using the dialcode listed @ voice.google.com (*004*<insertyourGVnumberhere>#), and it works, even though Dialer app settings still shows "My carrier" instead of "Google Voice" as the provider, and attempting to change it in the Dialer still says "Forwarding number change failed".
My problem now is that I can't for the life of me figure out where to change the timeout before it forwards to VoiceMail. I test-called from another phone and it rings for at least 60 seconds(!) before forwarding to GoogleVoice, instead of the 15 or so it used to be. Where do you change this, or can you?
Me too - luckily I saved the activate/deactivate google voice in my contacts list so was able to change the forwarding ok. Not sure if there's anyone at google that takes feedback on these kind of issues or not - but I haven't seen many things responded to on their feedback forums (like DST / calendar sync issues for the last few years with no fixes). Get what you pay for I guess.
Hello everyone,
I am rooted and locked runinng MOF 2.3.5 ish v2.0.
Yesterday AM I started receiving an error (unable to send text) when trying to send texts through GO SMS. I also received the same error when using the stock messaging app. Then I discovered I was also not receiving texts. I can send and receive texts through Google Voice. I integrated my Google number with Sprint several months ago. I had made no changes to Google voice settings, or my text settings in several months. This just came out of the blue.
I tried restoring a backup from Titanium, that did not work. I tried de-linking Google voice from my phone and that did not work. I uninstalled GO SMS- still nothing. I have since re-linked Google voice to my Sprint # as it is the only way I have of receiving my messages.
Today I called Sprint. After a few tests with no luck, they instructed me to accept the OTA 2.3.5 update. They claim that one of the issues fixed in this OTA update was a fix of this "known issue with SMS". I told them I did not want to do that because it would perma lock my boot loader. They also suggested having them de-link Google Voice from my Sprint #. They said that if they de-linked Google Voice, I would not be able to re-link Google voice to my number later and that was a "known issue" with Google.
So, I have 3 options...
1) Keep it as is until upgrade time, but of course Google Voice does not have MMS support. And Google Voice leaves a lot to be desired with SMS threading and customization.
2) Take the OTA upgrade and "hope" it solves my texting issue, but of course that opens another can of worms with the bootloader.
3) Have them de-link Google Voice and hope that works. However, I enjoy having one number when I travel, etc. And if it doesn't work, according to them I wont be able to re-sync and then I will not have any access to my texts.
Has anyone else ran into this issue? I didnt see the exact issue in a Google search.
Thanks in advance
I also use Google voice to manage/backup my voicemails and texts remotely. I hate the google voice app. I only use it in it rare situations where I have no signal and no roaming available, but have wifi.
This has happened to me a couple times, I'll notice my gvoice has texts that my phone never received via SMS.
What is your preffered network set to? I've noticed my prefered network mode changes mysteriously on this phone. I'll just set it back normal and all my missed sms come flooding in.

Thanks for the reply. I normally set to automatic. I just checked and it was changed to any cmda. I will play with the options and see if that helps. Thanks again.

Hello, it was on CDMA Auto (prl). What do you generally set yours on for domestic use?
Your answer got me thinking. Saturday afternoon I removed a sim card from another country because I was here in the us and didn't need it. So when I got home I put the sim card back in and switched network to automatic and then all my texts arrived. Thanks again :thumbup:
