I have Sprint and an integrated google voice number. I also have a tablet I use to send/receive GVoice messages. Problem is, only the received messages will show up on my phone...any message sent through GVoice isn't there. Ps, I understand WHY, just looking for a way to get around it.
Is there any app/technique available (searched FOREVER) that will allow my phone to sync up with the sent messages from GVoice? Essentially, I want to be able to have a gvoice only conversation on the tablet and have the same conversation show up on the phone.
Thanks!
Bump. Have an app that can send GV from the native SMS system.
GV Intergration
But I cannot get GV messages received in the native message app without forwarding the text through the proper SMS phone number. I thought there was an an option for this in the GV app, but it doesn't seem to make a difference for me.
I just emailed the developer of the GV Integration app asking if he had any ideas on how to do this. Unfortunately, the Google Voice app is the only one I've found that will sync messages instantly (or at all). I SMS a *lot* from my laptop browser via google.com/voice and the Google Voice chrome plugin.. so it would suck to only see one side (incoming) of the text thread.
I'll definitely let you guys know if I find anything.
damnit google.. open up the freakin api already.
Also.. if you do use the Google Voice app.. there's an app on the market called NotifierPro that works with the Android Google Voice app to display popups of incoming text messages... which is convenient.
You can send text mesages with GVI, then have them forwarded back to your phone. That would work if you have unlimited inbound texts, but it cuts prepaid texting in half, which is nice, but could be nicer.

Well, I'm glad others have an interest in something like this too. I've been using mysms recently...it's by no means reliable and it relies on your phone to send/receive (unlike GV) but it works ok for now. Mighty text works better as far a reliability goes, but is terrible with the tablet browser, doesn't support notifications, and still relies on the phone...still not GV. I guess we'll just gave to wait.
Argh...the GV integration app ALMOST works. It might just be a matter of getting the settings right. Messages sent from a Google Voice web browser get integrated into handcent (Usually after you receive a message). I just keep running into problems with duplicate messages, not getting notifications from handcent (messages still show up), etc depending on the settings I choose between the GV/Handcent/GV Integration apps.
SO frustrating...has anyone had better luck?
Looking for a way to keep text sent from the browser and tablet synced with my phone as well. Im using Sprints GV integration as well.
I know this thread is old but for anybody that finds this post you should know that cm10.2 roms have voice+ which integrates messages sent from a computer to your phones message store
Wow thread resurrection! Yes it's awesome. Been using it since Koush came out with Babel. Recent nightlies though, receiving messages has been spotty. Are you using nightlies and or are you seeing this too?

For anyone else, the app Sliding Messaging (on play store, or if you search xda) just added Google voice integration.

Hi everybody,
does anybody know if it is possible to install a SMS client on the GT 10.1v? Being it a 3G Tablet it should be possible to activate the SMS messaging ... I had been using the same SIM-card in a Samsung Netbook where it was possible to write text messages. The tab didn't let me install GO SMS.
Thanks!
I've installed WhatsApp and it want to send a SMS message before it starts. When I enter a correct phonenumber, WhatsApp presents an error telling me that it's not possible to send an SMS.
It appears the current firmware doesn't support SMS/Phone operations. Perhaps a custom rom in the near future will solve this problem.
I've tried to use Go SMS & Go Dialer, but without any luck.

I use sync SMS on my 10.1 wifi tab... install on tablet then on phone... must have a dropbox account. Works really good.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
using dropbox seems like a poor way of doing it..
I just started on one myself that does it through bluetooth
that's also not a perfect way of doing it but it seems better than dropbox to me
then again, I have no idea if it will work through bluetooth. I literally just started on it yesterday so I basically have zero functionality so far.
I just saw that HTC Flyer on Android 2.4 does have an SMS App working. Couldn't we just rip the app of the Flyer and install on the GT?
How could we get the messaging (SMS) app from the Flyer to try?

Sorry if I am being dumb - you got GoSMS working on a 10.1V? How comes? I have in the meantime only managed to get it installed. But - as predicted - it would not send any SMS.
I can send SMS using the messaging function in the message app.
textab is the best sms app out there in my opinion. unless your trying have a set number to the tab and text from it.
Sign up for a Google Voice number for free. ( google.com/voice ) Make sure you go through the settings and don't have it forward texted to your current cell phone number but just to the email address used to sign up.
Use the Google Voice App from the market or the one already preinstalled on the Tab. Log in using your Google Voice account and start texting using your new Google Voice phone number to any cell phone number.
DeskSMS is the ONLY way to go for SMS from a tablet, desktop, or web interface. Doesn't require an active bluetooth connection or Dropbox. It just forwards all my SMS to my Google Talk account, and I can reply directly within Google Talk on my Tablet or Trillian on my PC.
Google voice now supports tablets. I use it all the time to text from the tab.

thanks for this lil beauty!
1. My Sprint number is tied directly to Google Voice via the built-in integration.
2. I have the EVO 3D.
Is there any reason why I would want to use/install the Google Voice application when I already get everything directly through it anyhow?
I'm pretty sure that in order to receive texts, you have to have the app installed.

Not if you leave it set to text your phone as well.
To the op only reason I have the app is to get voicemail
Thanks for the responses. I get and send text messages via the phone and it all shows up in Google Voice (the web portal). Voicemail is transcribed for me and then emailed directly - and I can still check it from my phone by holding 1. So it sounds like I don't need to install the app. Thanks for confirming
What about for international calls?
1) If someone calls me internationally, can I pick up with Google Voice wifi and not have to pay as much?
2) If I call a international number, is it cheaper if I initiate the call through the web UI?

Voicemail. I hate the stock voicemail interface.
Yup........voicemail. You pretty much get Visual Voicemail with it. How else are you supposed to retrieve your voicemails? Dialing your own number? This is 2011.
I decided not to install the app cause the MMS issue. All my texts/mms work fine but I dont receive visual voice mails. I still wont install the app cos its a pain in the ass to open the app for everything.
Might be a dumb question but how can I get the text to not go through voice and go to the stock messaging app so I don't have to open up voice to read my text I'm on mikg 2.3 and have an EVO

Your text will always go through Google voice once integrated, but there is a setting in the app and web page that lets them come in as regular texts as well. Mms always goes straight to the phone even if you integrate and install the app.
I prefer Google Voice for visual voicemail mostly because GV gives you free text transcription.
What I do is just have the option for text notification so my texts still go through the stock message program and I pretty much ignore GV for anything else. Now whenever I miss/ignore a call and I get a voicemail, I get a text from myself letting me know I have a voicemail and I can then open the app. A bit of that text also contains some of the transcribed voice message left and who it was from. This also helps save battery/data (unlimited plans yes I know) since I don't have to leave GV logged in all the time etc.
My only complaint is that I would like the text notifying me of the voice message to look as though it came from the person that called me instead of myself.
use it to answer you sms through google voice web page,
ie google.com/voice or the google voice extension. also phone calls too
I did not see a reason to use the Google Voice app for my integrated number. My texts and mms go though the native app, I get a text with the transcribed voicemail or I press and hold 1 to listen to them.
However I setup the Google Voice App with my other Google Voice number. So I can send and receive texts and listen to voicemails for a secondary number.
Also with the return of Sipdroid I setup the same Google Voice Number that is in the Google Voice App, now I have 2 fully functional lines.
For those that love the Google voicemail but hate the merged text messaging, you need to login to Google voice, unnassociate your phone and install the "lite" version.
Do not chose the Integrate with Sprint option.

Disable inbox notification in GV app and enable text notification. Everything is logged in GV but text come through your regular app. I still have to checkout voice mail. I believe if voice mail notification is set to text to your phone, everything will be notified though regular messaging app and you can open GV app to get your voice mails.
Yup, like donnie said. I can delete texts off my phone, but they're also backed up on Google voice.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Just confirming, if you enable text notification and disable inbox notification in GV application, you get everything through text message. You will have to open GV application to listen voice mail but for text default application will be used. Everything is still logged into google voice.

Trying to use default messaging to send texts thru GV w/o a carrier plan. Is that possible?
Right now when I text a GV number from messaging it uses a carrier sms, but if I do it thru GV app it uses data...hoping there is a way to make GV default 'carrier' for sms thru messaging app,
Gv and messaging app are completely separate. There is no way to intermingle them.

Is there any work being done on this?
I'm coming from a jailbroken iPhone with the GV SMS Extension, which seamlessly blended Google Voice SMS into the stock messaging app.
Right now I am able to receive SMS in the stock messaging app but it doesn't show the sender's name; rather, just a string a weird numbers. If i reply, i am sending via GV so that's good.
I remember when a friend showed me his phone, he had the option when sending an SMS of 'Send with GV' or 'Send with regular number'. That would be nice, but i can't find that option anywhere
I believe that setting is accessed through a web browser in google voice under settings.

I believe this option is for adjusting the outgoing caller ID number when you send texts via Google voice. To my knowledge there is no way to integrate gv text messages into other messaging apps in android without also using carrier SMS. I really hope I'm wrong as I would really like to integrate them into gosms. I have sent them a feature request, but it is my understanding that Google needs to open up an api before this will be possible.

Its called google voice integration and actually sprint has this already i really.wish att did. If u have sprint u down load google voice app and it integrates in to your phone can even use your number or chose a diff google voice number . And even if u have no service and your connected to wifi you can text with googlevoice
App even without service. I have it setup on my old sprint phone with no service its disconnected yet if i connect to wifi i can still send and recieve texts with googlevoice app on that phone.
Sprints the only.one to have this currently but i hope att eventually does. You dont have to use wifi but just saying u can. I had no service in my house with sprint but didnt have to wory about missing texts just had to be on my wifi. And i set this up for my woman too on her sprint phone since she has no service in our appartment either. So glad i jumped too att i always have service
Is the Sprint Google Voice integration reliable? Google Voice is completely flaky for me regardless of ROM. It stops receiving texts, I can't send texts, etc. It was the same on my iPhone as well with two different apps. Very frustrating.
I have been hearing alot of people using the google voice voice mail over the stock voice mail. Can someone chime in and explain what are the advantages of using the GVM vs stock? Also how do you go about this? Any help is appreciated.
In my case, its I go Google VM for the network saving + the many other features of Google Voice.
I rather not lose my Voicemail access between devices & so I like accessing them from anywhere.
Google Voice can be used for just VM but I cant help you there as I've fully integrated. I do recommend going Google Voice entirely though.

I completely integrated, it works great. They are supposed to be working on integrating mms too but so far it doesn't work well
You get another phone number that you can have forwarded to any other phone or multiple phones. You can set people in different groups and set different options for each group. You can have different outgoing messages for each contact or group so your friends here one thing, but your boss hears another. You get great long distance rates using your google voice number. I think it's still free to Canada. Perfect if you don't want to give out your real number or if you want one number to consolidate a bunch of phone numbers. You can block numbers you don't want calling you anymore. If you're going to be busy you can use the "do not disturb" feature which sends people right to voicemail. You get so much more space for voicemails. And they are all organized just like google mail. You can star messages and keep them forever.
So much and it's all free. Why not just try it? Here's the google voice features video
I finally got it setup properly a few days ago and I'm loving it. Blown away by all the features. During setup, using my phones browser, when it got to the part where I called my phone from the website (ON my phone ), and I recorded my greeting from the website on my phones browser , I knew this was some good sh1t.
And I love having the voicemails accessible directly from call log.

If you haven't already, try adding grooVe IP into the mix to really have your mind blown.
I really like it anyway. The only small drawback is about a 2-3 second delay on (free)voice calls
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II that has been rooted and uses CleanROM 5.0. Today I noticed that my Google Voice messages are not only being received by the GV App, but also by the stock messenger App. Also, the stock messenger App will reply through whichever source the SMS came in (either Google Voice or Verizon). This surprised me, as I don’t remember ever getting GV messages that way before. Google Voice messages would only go to the GV App. I have also determined that I don’t even need to be logged on to the GV App for this to work. I tried Googling this to see if it was normal. All I could find was recent news of this being achieved by a Cyanogen Mod and there also being an App that will do this. I have neither a Cyanogen mod nor that App. What am I missing here? Why is the doing this for me? In any case, I’d like to use just the Stock App for everything I’d like to know how to make all outgoing messages default to using just Google Voice. Any ideas around why this started happening and how I can control how new messages will be sent?
Answered my own question (mostly)
OK, I found out why this started happening. Somehow I had changed the setting in Google Voice, so that text messages were getting sent my cell phone. So duh.... when I received a text to my Google account, it also was going to my Verizon account, and thus my stock messaging app. I found this out when I saw all the text charges Verizon was billing me for. So now I am using that App, called Stock Messaging Application with Google Voice, It looks somewhat like the stock application- but not quite (I like the stock better). It does catch messages coming in from both Google and and Verizon. I have it set to reply to all through Google- which it does. This is mostly what I wanted to do- the problem is, it's a little buggy. Sometimes a message won't go in or out. And as I said, I still like the stock app better.
So I still have a remaining question. Does anyone know if, or when, the breakthrough of this from July (for Cyanogen Mod) is showing up for other ROMS?

Glad to see someone else cares- I was actually kind of surprised by the lack of feedback/interest in this. I would have guessed this would be of more interest to people....oh well.
The app I was referring to can be found on the Google Play Store- it is called "Messaging + Google Voice", the developer is Troxie.net
This board won't let me post the link.
The problem with this app is that it seems a little buggy. Sometimes messages don't send or receive- but in general it does what it says. I have also found the Text for Free service by Pinger works pretty well with the stock messaging. You can set it so that all of your cell phone service based texts will also go into the Text for Free app. Then when you reply, the outgoing message will go through text for free. However, this is a separate number- not a Google Voice number.

I actually use the Sprint integration with Google Voice, so I am using only one phone number, my Sprint mobile number. I am really just trying to set it up so that if I am at my PC and I send an SMS with the web interface, that message will also be displayed on my phone. Right now, I can see that message in my google voice app, but not any third party SMS app (like Textra, which I use). I want to be able to use Textra to send all my SMS and MMS, and have it sync any messages I send using the google voice web interface as well.
