Hi guys,
I found an old guide on setting up Google voice to work with the gtab but it's out of date and no longer works. Any status on getting Google voice setup on Gtab for phone calls / texts? thanks!

I downloaded the .apk from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11828239&postcount=4
Sideload-installed it and it fixed it. It moves the "Skip" button when it goes to pull VM settings and lets you bypass that.
Works fine for SMS now...haven't tried to listen to a VM yet.

Thanks, I tried it but I'd like to be able to make a call/receive a call. Is that possible? Also, how are you sending an SMS from it? I can only see the list of voicemails.
I'm running vegan ginger, and just downloaded it from the market. It works fine but you need a 3rd party application like skype to make calls voip. The but texting and reading voicemails is good

You need to make sure you have a regular Google voice account and a Google voice number. There is a lite version which you can only see voicemails. You can check on the glove voice website

Seems to work ok for me - I picked a sipgate number as "this phone's number" so it skipped offering to capture vm.
VoiceMail playbacks fine, notification of VM works
SMS send works/receive notification works.
Calls... don't work (on device, anyway)
Calls don't work because we don't have a app for calls. Google voice can use skype or another similar app to call, but most aren't free

I installed Google Voice and didn't read the app carefully. I selected the Sprint integration and now when I answer a call it asks me to press 1 to accept the call. I cleared the data in app manager and re-ran the app the correct way without sprint integration but it still asks me to press 1 when answering a call. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

Turn off call screening
This isn't specific to the 3D.
It's been a pain for about a week - since Sprint and GV launched the integration service.
The integration does more than make you press 1...
It prevents you from using ANY txt app BUT Google Voice, and reduces your 2 numbers to ONLY your google voice number...
OR
If you select to use your Sprint number, YOU MAY LOOSE YOUR GOOGLE VOICE NUMBER AFTER 30 DAYS!
Rather than turning off call screening (unless you want to, but it doesn't sound like your GV# was your primary number before), you should log into GV on your computer, go to Settings -> Phones, and Deactivate your 3D.
Google Voice will still be enabled for Voice mail after you do this, but it won't infiltrate and take over everything.
You can then go back to forwarding your GV# to whatever phones you like - and hopefully keep it if you chose to use your Sprint # on the phone.

I disagree with what you're saying here. First off you can easily use any text app you want. You just need to make sure you turn on the notify you via text option in Google Voice. Secondly I like having my Sprint number through my Google voice account so that way I can apply my Google Voice rules while still getting my free Mobile to mobile and not having to give anyone else a new number.
Secondly if you want to keep another google voice number, it's only a $20 one time charge.
Thirdly you know how great it is to answer my cell phone number from my computer whenever I have google talk open. Plus I have a Obi110 hooked up to a cordless phone so at home I have VOIP on my Cell phone number. My friends and family have no clue where I'm calling from because it always shows my cell phone number.
Google voice is a blessing if you know how to use it.
It's a headache if you don't though.
Read up on the services features before deciding if you want to use them. I love G-Voice but you need to understand theres one negative aspect of it.
No picture mail/mms services are allowed when you integrate. you'll have to resort to emailing attachments or facebooking or whatever you do to get your content across the waves.
I have not integrated. Right now calls to canada are free with gv but very expensive with sprint. If I integrate one way or another will I end up paying sprints rate or will it be free because of gv?

You have that wrong too. You can still send and receive picture mail mms through your regular messaging/texting app.

Once you integrate international calling is through Google Voice. I don't know if they mention Canada but I know for a fact they handle all your other international calling.
Best i could find on international from the man handling this himself http://www.google.com/support/forum...0e&hl=en&fid=5122d9657099fe0e000479f1f8d2bae2
dont mean to hi-jack, i meant to create a separate thread but saw this one and instead of creating another thread, i'll just post here since its related to google voice. I went onto the google voice forum and sprint forum but no one can help me.
when trying to set up google voice, i'm getting an error message saying "your phone number could not be verified. please try again"
i tried re-adding my number and it says "this number is already in use as a cell phone on another google voice account" which is probably why i'm getting an error message on my phone saying it cant verifiy my number.
I also tried clicking on Change/Port in voice settings and going to "Use your Sprint mobile number with Google Voice" and i got an error. i think my account just needs to be reset or something?
I have a question, here is the scenario:
I have Google Voice(GV) and Sprint numbers.
I also have 3 unlimited numbers in my sprint phone.
I added my GV number to one of those three so all the calls I recieve from GV are free.
I can also use the call back function on GV to make calls for free since my sprint phone sees this as an incoming call from GV.
My question is:
If I integrate keeping my Sprint number as the primary, meaning all the calls I make from GV will show the Sprint phone number. What will I see in the caller ID when I make a call from GV's website?
Thanks.

Your Sprint phone will show up in that case. For your situation it doesn't sound like you'd want to integrate. It would save you minutes if you do a lot of your talking at home and can setup a obi100 or obi110 box to make outbound and inbound calls on your gv account.
Edit: My bad it shows up as anonymous if you initiate the call from your google voice page. Then again at home I'm using the obi110 I have with a cordless phone or my google talk dialing out as my cell phone number.

Go to the Voice settings on a non-mobile browser and mess around with things that make sense to change. I did that and now I have normal texting back and I am back to using GV just for voicemail like I like to do.

yes, you can use any messaging app. i use handcent. under google voice app settings after integrating, you go to
>sync and notications.
check "Text Messages"
uncheck "Inbox notifcations"
now you can use just your stock app, or any other app. if you use a different app, make sure you turn off the notification bar in the stock apps settings.
you will still receive a message in your google voice app if you open it. it will remain there, even if you delete the message in one of the other apps. good for keeping records of texts that you dont want to keep stored locally on the phone. i generally go in to google voice on the computer and delete what i dont want.
is it an extra step, sure. but look at this method, as an automatic backup system for your texts.

I purchased "Backup to Gmail" about a month ago and love it. (cpedia Mobil in the Market)
It automatically backs up all my sms, call log, and mms to my main google account... restores in one click. And it removes the extra step of deleting things twice. Still no MMS restore, but it backs them up for you.
I couldn't get the integration to work the way I wanted it to; basically like it wasn't integrated - my GV# rings what lines I tell it to - and my cell phone works like a cell phone, unless I specifically want to use GV for a call.
I have specific uses for both numbers - and need the flexibility in caller ID selection when dialing out - as well as for messaging.
The integration thing just wasn't working for me.
I definitely think it depends on how people have been using their phones previously. The integration is great if you've been juggling two numbers and wishing for just one you can tweak with GV's tools, AND keep MMS.
If you've been using the GV# to separate contacts (completely improper usage, admittedly - seeing as how you could simply create contact groups and handle them that way), the integration is a nightmare.

Is this if you're using your sprint number... or your GV number?
I had mine setup to use my GV number, and the only app that registered new messages was GV. No other program received the messages at all.
Maybe this was my problem with getting the integration thing to work.
i was integrated to use my sprint number.
you should be able to log in online to gv and stop the integration you have. then set up the app on the phone again skipping the integration step. then it should work seperately like you'd like at least for calls/voicemail.
Its so odd though. i recently switched from an htc hero200 (sprint) running CM7 and there was no integration. once i switched to the evo, all of a sudden this integration? i have no complaints with GV settings except one... i hate not being able to make calls from 2 numbers. is this simply something with the stock sprint ROM? once the evo 3d is rooted and a rom is ready to be installed, will this integration thing go away?
Disable Google Voice Integration
sign into goggle voice online go to setting and disable google voice to sprint
I just wish it would go back to the way it was originally. How can they begin to think that this integration is better than how it was before?

I'm wondering if its possible to receive calls on touchpad? I pay $2 a month for Skype number. I also got the google voice app that's in prepare. But when I call either number it won't go through. Is there anyway to receive calls so maybe I can get rid of cell phone plan?
I've used Skype, so I know it should work. You must be doing something wrong.
u can receive skype calls but i believe if you keep the device off for too long it automatically signs you off of skype..to avoid that i guess open up the messaging app and then make urself "available" after a while.
as far as the "google voice app that is in prepare" not sure what ur are talking about ???? but could you elaborate because i'm looking for a google voice app rather than having the use the google.com/voice website for most of my sms's
im pretty sure he means google talk, not google voice. in gingerbread, with the right apk or phone, you can make video calls with google talk.
theres a google voice app.
Download the webos quick install and press the globe icon on the right. Once that loads just seach google voice and its there. Its nothing great, defiantly wish there was something better but its better than nothing.
Regarding skype....i cant recieve calls on it. I can call out fine but when i try to have someone else call me from their cell phone it wont happen.
hmm havent had anyone call me from their phones just a skype to skype call so not sure if that would make any difference.
and gonna check out that google voice app right now
I have gotten Skype to work both ways but I can't start a video call. The option is there but won't start

I did not see an app called google voice. I did find an app called P2Google Voice in the HP App Catalog, but I had no luck in making phone calls (it seems to be for the handset only).
If there was a Google Chat plug-in for webOS browser then we could make/receive calls in the touchpad. Or if there was a app to setup a sip account the touchpad one could make/receive calls.
P2GoogleVoice has been discontinued, so it won't work at all.
The only current app in the catalog is GV Text, which I have heard does not work either.
So, our only hope may be Linphone, which was being worked out by webosinternals:
Here's the wiki: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Linphone
Here's the official discussion page: http://forums.precentral.net/webos-internals/274615-linphone-alpha-testing.html
and here's the link to install the package (but does not work on touchpad yet): http://bit.ly/linphone-0-1-8-pre
Thanks avinyc, I will keep an eye on Linphone yes it does not work on the touchpad
anyone have any luck getting a video call working?
any suggestion on how to use google talk or yahoo messenger on touch pad not as a chat but for voice
free skype
just got a Skype # today (use the discounts) and added it to my GV forwarding #s...works great. I emailed Skype customer service and they confirmed that no calling credit is used for incoming calls to your Skype #...so I assume no credit is needed if you use as callback to call out. Now all we need is a half decent GV app for the touchpad....even a modified browser may work...anyone?
I was curious if people are having better results these days integrating their Sprint number with GV.
I had it set up when the service was first offered but had many issues that led to me getting rid of it.
I had text message delivery issues primarily as well as some mysterious behavior regarding recieving calls.
I also didn't much care for the GV app itself as the stock messaging app is even better in my opinion.
But that was quite some time ago so have there been improvements made since then?
How many Sprint folks are integrated and what opinions to you guys have on the option at this time?
Tks
Can't live without it... It now let's you set the notification to your messaging app so you won't notice a difference compared to not using it. As well, go into the voice settings on your computer and disable some of the call filtering options and you'll never notice a difference except that you'll have visual voicemail that actually works.
Its especially useful if you switch ROMs and wipe your texts because you can still see them all on Google Voice. And it also allows you to text from any device with the app on it or from your computer and still get all your incoming texts back on your phone.
Edit: Basically once you've got it set up right you won't even notice it except you'll have free and better visual voice mail(you can even set it to text you the voicemail when you get it) and you'll be able to text from your computer and review your texts and voicemail online.

I used to love those features. The only its just the performance in was having problems with. I am text message delivery and reception was often delayed or unreliable. I'm still trying to decide if I should try it again. I am a big mms guy too. I am I know I can go back to stock for that... Just not sure if I want to try that again...
I'm not positive but I think text messages are still delivered the same way, through Sprint. They are sent separately by data for Google Voice so basically you get them twice. When I open my Voice app after a while of not using it, it takes a sec to sync all my messages. And every once in a while I'll even get it faster using the Voice app than I do through Sprint if I'm in a bad signal area

I'm interested in this too, I loved the Google voice features, but some people were just not able to text me. They wouldn't have issues sending messages, they just never came through to me
Still can't decide. I am leary only because of how buggy it was for me last year...

Try it, then disable it if you don't like it :good: Tbh I didn't like it on either my HTC Hero or my Nexus S but on the Evo I don't even notice it until I need it. Its especially nice on a CM10/Aosp rom but it works well with Sense too. As long as you set it up right you won't even notice it until you need it.
Couple suggestions to set it up right:
1. On your computer go to www.google.com/voice > Settings > Calls > Call Screening Off
2. Go to Settings > Phones > Make sure its your phone number listed and is Google Voice Enabled and that texts are set to be sent to your phone.
2. Go to the app on your phone > Settings > Sync and Notifications > Receive text messages Via the messaging app AND set Voicemail Notifications on(On cyanogen/aosp this will let you play your voicemail straight from your notifications)
3. Close the Voice app and forget its even installed
Then the next time you're on your computer go the google.com/Voice and check it out and maybe send a few texts to test it out. Or else mess with the settings and try out some of the cool options like blocking calls from telemarketers, setting your voicemail greeting and enjoy it.
I've been using it so long that I may have a few other settings changed that I forgot, but those should get you started... I honestly don't even realize its even installed until I need to check it. You still get your texts through Sprint service AND via data by the google voice app if you want. Sometimes I get it quicker via data than by Sprint so I love that option.

Do you get visual voicemail on messages left at your Sprint number or just on your Google Voice account?
Emoji's don't seem to work with Voice, even when set up to receive through go sms with the emoji plugin
Edit: yeah I just double checked, you can't send or receive emojis when using Google voice integration. Well I guess I'll try again in a couple months, see if it's working any better
I just wish they'd increase the volume of voicemails. I can barely hear them with the volume all the way up. The Sprint app is also quiet but it's louder than Google Voice. It makes the app almost unusable for me. I'm trying Sprints VVM again. I do miss the transcriptions but truthfully they are rarely correct.
What phone number do you tell people to call and text? Your original Sprint number or newly assigned Google voice phone number?

Your Sprint number.
With integration do you still have a gv# opposite your sprint# ?because that was a good feature to have imo
You can if you want but I chose my sprint number. I also hated this app with a passion in the beginning.. But I gave it anotehr shot since I flash alot and tryin out AOSP it was a pain to constantly get those 9016 texts.. So I tried it again and now I love it. Everytime you flash just install google voice again and all your stuff is back instantly. I did use SMS backup with titanium but waste of time with how easy GV is. Plus you can go to www.google.com/voice and send text messages and listen to voicemail on your computer. So for the guy that can't hear your voicemail just listen to them on your computer and turn it up as loud as you want. I'll never go back to sprint vvm. Google voice keeps getting better and better. Plus I put it on my website as a widget so people can call me right from their computer and I can customize a personal message just for the website and still have my own for my phone. Make the switch and don't look back!

That's not an option when you're away from home, and in an even slightly noisy environment. Even just driving my car is generally too much background noise to be able to hear some voicemails. This is 2012, I think this is unacceptable. I mean really, how long has voice mail been around. GV brings a lot of great new options to the table, but yet doesn't perform it's core service very well. (like the iPhone and making phone calls...haha, but I digress)
My favorite way to use my GV number is to give it to any company who asks for my number. I only use a cell phone so I don't want to give a random company my personal number. With my GV number they just go right to voicemail and if it's important (like I won a cruise or something) they can leave a message. ;o)
I don't use it for text messages, but I imagine it's nice when flashing roms. I just use MyBackup Root to restore texts to new roms. My next project is to learn RomCleaner and setup a good script for that. It sounds like a very smooth, consistent way to getting back up after flashing a new rom.
I love GV and I think it offers some innovative features, I just wish they would take the initiative to increase the volume.
I finally took the integration plunge a few weeks ago (despite always hearing horror stories about GV in the past), and I'm loving it.
Give it a shot.

Also, for those of you who still like to use the stock text messenger app or send/receive texts via your Sprint phone number (outside of Google Voice), there is a great and reputable app ( " SMS Backup+, by Jan Berkel") that works great for those who wipe and flash their phones often.
The app allows you to save all texts to your google account (cloud-based) for later retrieval. So if you wipe, you can restore however many texts you'd like and they'll be back on your phone again within seconds. It also has an auto-sync function so that each time you get a new text, it is automatically saved to your google account for later retrieval if needed. I highly recommend this app for anyone who doesn't like using GV for texting purposes (like me).

There are plenty of apps out there that do this... The point of Google Voice is that those texts are always there across all your android phones, tablets, PCs, Macbooks, etc. Its useful between flashes sure, but its real use is between devices.
And just as an fyi for those in doubt, you do still get your texts straight from Sprint if you set it up that way as far as I know... Its not just that the voice app syncs them into your messaging app, it really does receive them as an SMS. It becomes more obvious if you send a message using the Voice app from the computer as you won't see the sent message in your messaging app but you will get the replies as a text.

I just upgraded from my Samsung Captivate which was running CM10 to the HTC One. One of the things I loved about the old phone was that all my voicemails would show up in my call log and I could play them from there. When I tried setting up GV on the new phone, I got a bunch of error messages and somehow the phone removed my old call forwarding rules and then couldn't reapply them. So I logged out of the Google Voice app and tried again. No dice. Finally, I went back and did it the old fashioned way by manually typing in the MMI code and managed to get the calls forwarded again to GV. When I went to the dialer app to manually switch the voicemail provider to GV, I again get the error messages and when it asks to still switch to the new provider I click OK. However, it kicks out another error message and then shows that nothing has changed and still lists AT&T as the default voicemail provider. So, has anyone managed to get this working properly or have AT&T and HTC once again colluded to completely bork functionality that works oh so well on stock Android?
Just got a response to my support request from HTC. Laughably, they claim they "cannot guarantee full functionality with Play Store applications." That is pretty pathetic. In their quest to differentiate, they eliminated one of the best features of Android in my mind. I hated dialing numbers and using the dialpad to access and control voicemail years ago. When Google made Google Voice available on Android, it was one of the factors that made me choose it over the iPhone. Then they made it even better than visual VM on iOS by integrating it into the dialer. This dialer from HTC is a huge step in the wrong direction. I don't need all this FB and Twitter integration crap. Just let me access my VM in the best possible way.
I have it working but I never got it to work using the Google voice app configuration.
It was still working when I swapped my son card to the HTC one from my gs3.
I had to go into the phone app and change the forwarding numbers manually. Also the voice mail number.
If that doesn't work I think you can contact at&t and they can fix it for you.
Wait...you have your Google voice voicemails showing up in the dialer app so that you can click play and listen to them without going into the GV app? I did manage to get the forwarding set up, but I want the voicemails to show in the dialer like they did on CM10.
Not working on Sprint and HTC One either

Same issue, voicemail set up, but I can not get the call log to show voicemails. Tried unchecking voicemail display as indicated in other forums, but doesn't work either way.
Bump...no dialer integration or notifications is a big problem for me as well.
Instead of making a new thread I will just bump this one. Did anyone managed to get they HTC One to integrate Google Voice visual voicemail into the dialer? I searched everywhere but couldn't find any info on that.
Maybe there are any 3rd party modifications that can fix this issue?
p.s Just to clear things for someone who reads between the lines my GV Voicemail is working fine, what I am trying to figure out is how to integrate it into dialer and get visual voicemail from there.

No luck. I stopped trying. I may give it another go.
Just installed ARHD Google edition Rom and visual google voice voicemail works great in there, but I prefer Sense based Rom so will go back to it. Shame visual voicemail doesn't work on it, seems like HTC broke the compatibility.
If anyone knows a solution that would be great!
