Dialing Issue
The phone wasn't near me and not only dialed a random phone number in my phone book, but probably the least person in the world I wanted to talk to. Hopefully I found all the ways to disable Google Assistant, Hey Google, OK Google, Bite me Google, whatever.

Well I guess it depends which way you look at this...
I use (used) google voice strictly for voicemail on the Evo4g but it appears that somehow this works differently on the E3d.
The app essentially hijacked my phone and made itself the default receiver of text messages as well as voice/voicemail. I liked it better when i had the choice which program make all my calls and I much prefer the sense sms app over the one built into google voice.
Maybe i did something different but I noticed even the differences in the setup of google voice...it seems that sprint's carrier integration now allows for all this. Just wish i had the option to choose what part of the app does what.
Thought others might want to know as well. phone is GREAT by the way =]o
Did the same thing for me. Easy fix though. Go to voice.google.com and Deactivate Google Voice on your Sprint phone in Voice Settings. Deactivate call forwarding. Then you can re-enable call forwarding.
I was pissy about this myself. I hadn't tried the fix but unwilling as soon as I get to my pc.
So does this work? Does this just do phone or text as well? any update?
It's not an EVO 3D thing it's a Sprint Google integration thing. You just didn't setup your EVO from scratch after the Voice integration happened.
I love Google Voice integration. I've posted these links in other threads but they are good reads on why you are better off actually integrating and how to still use your default messaging apps.

Here are some other cool things I'm able to do now myself. I can make outbound and inbound calls on my google talk using my cell number on my computer wherever I have internet access. I bought an OBI110 and hooked up a phone to it so now I have free VOIP calls whenever I answer or receive calls to my CELL number on this phone. Now I don't have to give anyone a different number and I can still control who gets to reach me at what time of the day. I can answer and receive texts on my computer, laptop, tablet all using my cell number. All my texts are backed up and searchable to my google voice account (even texts I send from my phone using one of the regular messaging apps, not google voice app)
My opinion. Take the time and setup integration right. It's one MAJOR advantage of being an Android user on Sprint now. You're missing out on way more by not setting it up than you would by setting it up.
Oh and for those who don't want to lose your old Google Voice Number, Google lets you keep additional numbers at $20 per number.
Hey, I'm switching from Sprint to T-Mobile, and I need to decide if I want t port my number to TMo or keep it as my Google Voice number, with forwarding to my new number. I know T-Mobile doesn't have the full integration Sprint does, but the big question nobody seems to have answered anywhere that Google can find is this: on T-Mobile, does Google Voice still let you choose whether to receive texts via the GV app or the stock messaging app, or are you stuck using the Voice app?

Dude, your signature is being read by a ton of folk who's third or fourth language is English. Try writing a few posts in Russian, or better yet, Mandarin, and you'll get what their up against. (Yes, that's a deliberate dangling participle.) Although I agree with your basic gist for the most part, your approach isn't going to win anyone over to respect our ever-changing, hybrid-by-nature mother tongue. Respect is the key to respect.
To answer your question, you can set it up so Google Voice texts are forwarded to your stock messaging app/service/number. I use Handcent pretty much exclusively with my Google Voice number, but it doesn't support MMS, yet. I still use my cell number for MMS, but there've been rumors in the mill for months.
T-Mobile has always lagged behind the other major US carriers in Google integration ever since the G1 wasn't the only Android phone on the market. They lag because their cheap, and they're cheap because they lag. It's OK with me, I'd rather hack my phone than pay too much for it.
Hi all, sorry for the new guy question (at least that's what I think it is):
Problem Statement - I have my phone set up to make all calls through google voice. This works fine. However, the phone.apk and thus the call log always shows the google voice routing number as opposed to the person I am actually calling.
Review - I have done some searching and it appears this is the same thing on, at least, some other devices (SIII for one). I have not found any way to "fix" this, however, and am reaching out here. It may be an LG thing or an ICS thing or no thing at all.
Solutions:
Question 1 - does anyone know if there is any solution to this?
Question 2 - in doing some looking around it seems that the best approach might be to try a different phone.apk. The best approach I have seen, but have not yet tried, is to download the stock ICS phone.apk from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735507 or something. change permissions to rw-rw-rw- and copy into system/app . will this work? What is in there now is LGphone.apk, do I have to change the name of phone.apk to LGphone.apk?
Thanks in advance for any consideration of this.
Best Regards,
Dave
I'd like to find a resolution to this issue as well. it's rather frustrating. and no, i will not be adding the Google Relay# to my contact list as a workaround. i just want the call log to report the contact i called..
Anyone find a solution yet?
I figure once the AOSP 4.2 roms have their camera and GPS issues sorted out, I won't be bothered by this issue any more.

GV outbound call log repair
The only way I found was to install this app called GV Outbound Call Log Repair. I've tested it and it does work. This app seems to periodically wake up, contact GV and replace the number in the call log with GV call log number.

Thanks for sharing. I just bought it and it's working great so far. The only concern I have is that it syncs your call log every 30 seconds which seems like a battery drain. I wish you could set how often it syncs. At any rate any fix is better than none :good:
I've been using Google Hangouts to send SMS on my Sprint Note 3 for awhile now with little to no issues. That changed however with the recent Google Voice integration into Hangouts. Now, each time I try to send a text message, the message is received multiple times by the recipient, although I only see it sent once. Occasionally, the recipient will get anywhere from fifteen to twenty instances of the same message.
My Google Voice number is the same as my carrier number, which has never proven to be an issue before, but now I'm wondering if that's the culprit. I've searched all over for an answer to this particular issue, and it seems like I'm in the minority (so far).
Anyone else having a similar problem? It's more of an annoyance than anything, but I'd rather not be blasting out dozens of messages to my contacts if I don't have to.
Thanks.

I am having the EXACT same issue as you descibe above.. Using a Note3 on Sprint, until recently it worked without a hitch, now for the past 2-3 weeks, when I send SMS messsages I get people that state they get it up to 40x, when it only shows that it was delivered from my device once.
I am not sure if it is a Google Voice issue, Hangouts issue, Android, Sprint or just a combo of all of the above? If you are able to get a resolution, please let me know!
Thanks,
-Tim
Tim,
I was perusing around the Google help pages the other day and notices a new disclaimer I had not seen before. It was a short blurb on one of the Hangouts SMS help pages that said something along the lines of "If you're using Google Voice with your Sprint mobile number, do NOT integrate Google Voice with Hangouts. It will cause issues with SMS."
Not the most helpful thing in the world. But I ended up just disabling Voice from my Sprint service altogether. I hated to do it, since I've been using Voice on Sprint for several years now, but seeing as Voice is soon going the way of the Dodo, I figured it won't matter before too long anyway. I was only using Voice for voicemail anyway, so it wasn't a huge transition for me. Depending on how reliant you are on Voice, it might be a bigger problem for you.
At any rate, disconnecting Google Voice from my Sprint number solved the problem... no more spam texts!
1: ) When contacting a business via phone I seen a voice to text service. Not sure where that was coming from. Never figured that out except it looked like visual voice mail? IDK, says transcript on the phone log. Some of them don't have it.
2 When my wife contacted a business yesterday I received a script on my phone while she was in text or a call. Unsure , We have each others google accounts on each others phones. Easier for apps, calendar etc. She is on a different network, so not sure why a text or a voice chat would come across .
When clicking on the program used it says google play services.
3 Some company left me a voice mail last week and I seen a notification and cleared it, now I cannot find where it was at or location it was. My regular voice mail with ATT is working , but some voice mail goes to Youmail if not a business . This one in particular wasn't sent to either one. Just the notification and gone.
Looked like a similar format of the voice transcript.
I contacted ATT ( They have no clue)
Asked in discord , some help but nothing explaining what it is.(Thank you for the one who helped some)
Asked on Google community help ( no answer ).
And yes I give it time, few days , week etc.
Here is a screen shot of the text or voice that my wife did that started coming across my phone for some reason. If I close it out I have no idea where to find the transcript?
Google pixel 6 pro rooted.
Help for figuring out this "feature" would be appreciated.
