I'm hoping someone here might be able to help...
eViL has a wonderful Desire port for the Nexus One, but I have a serious (to me) problem with how HtcContacts displays the recent call history. With the 'normal' aosp contacts.apk the call history correctly reflects what I dial, whereas with the HtcContacts, it shows the google server number that the phone actually calls when using google voice. It does the same thing with Paul's Desire port.
Does the call history work the same for you native Desire owners? I would assume it does...and in a search I didn't come up with anything here. (could've used the wrong criteria I suppose)
Just hoping to find some suggestions from those who've dealt with this much longer than me.
Thanks

I've noticed many indivduals (on other forums) seem to experience the same problem with their HTC EVO, but after an extensive search across a variety of Android Forums, I have yet to locate a fix. Hopefully, someone here can point me in the correct direction.
While on a call, an incoming call (call waiting) only displays the caller ID number - instead of the name and contact picture stored in my phone. This did not happen until after the 2.2 update.
To test this, you can dial Sprint Customer Service (or any other wait on hold forever 800 number) from your mobile device, and either dial from a land line, or have someone (stored in your contacts list) call into your mobile device.
Not everyone seems to have this bug / feature, but for those that do experience this 'feature' we'd sure like to fix this.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated by me (and a host of others).

P.S. NOT Rooted HTC EVO, caller ID fails on Call waiting with all contacts (whether or not the contact has a google contact or not)
I installed Virtuous Unity today (latest release) on my Dinc2 and like it. Noticed one thing that I have not seen before and can't seem to find anyone else referencing this "bug". I use Google Voice for my voicemail. I also use Google Voice for my business number and the default cell number as personal, thus allowing me to use two phone numbers on the same phone...
Anyway, if I get a message, it shows in Google Voice as it should. If from GV I select the number and dial out using Google Voice, it works fine. However, if I choose to dial from my actual cell number, I get "The network is busy. Please try again later."
I can duplicate this behavior 100% of the time. If i direct dial the same number it works fine, seems to only affect returning calls from Google Voice.
Any ideas? I need this to work as it does in stock and other ROMs. Unsure if it is passing something unusual through the dialer or what, but I have never seen this before.
Thanks,

Looks like the issue may be with a +1 appended to the phone number. However the stock ROM doesn't fail with the +1 which leads me to believe there may be some sort of bug in the dialer app. I have noted one other user on the forum that has noted the same problem but haven't found any resolution yet. Would be glad to accept any input on the subject.

Some people reported google voice issues similar to this that was resolved by disabling 3rd party access under settings>call settings> 3rd party access. Worth a shot.
This option doesn't seem to exist. I notice that with this ROM, Google Voice produces and error in the phase where you set up the voicemail, I wonder if that has something to do with it..

I have exact same problem w/Virtuous Unity. I'm on version 2.39 but even the previous version had the same problem. I so much want them to fix this, because otherwise I may go to a different ROM.
My temporary fix is to use Google Voice to be able to dial +1 numbers from my phone list, but this is so inconvenient to me....Please please please developers fix +1 dialing problem
Hey guys,
I'd love to make use of the text response feature when someone calls me but there doesn't seem to be a Google Voice intent or option anywhere is there?
I heavily use my Google Voice number to the point I don't give out my cell phone number! I just tested ignoring a call with the text option and the text came from my cell phone number.
Has anyone figured out how to get it to use Google Voice? I have successfully configured texting from contacts/people and even voice actions because both had intents that popped up but nothing for the decline call feature.
Same issue here. Searched around, haven't been able to find an answer yet. I apologize if I missed something - Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This may be something I'm interested in for future use.

Anybody?
Sorry, just trying to bump this thread. It seems ridiculous to me that Google would release a flagship Android device that doesn't allow full integration with another major product so naturally related, Google Voice - especially considering how hard they've been pushing integration with Google+. (I'd love VOIP to be activated too, but that's another can of worms...)
Plus, this seems like a pretty simple issue since GV can be made the default for SMS quite easily elsewhere in ICS (and Gingerbread, Froyo) as the OP states. Hopefully I'm just mistaken, thanks for the help!
Seems like certain roms have issues with Google Voice. I use Google Voice for my voice mail, and with certain roms, when I go to dial out from Google Voice, whether it be using my GV number or my native Verizon number, a +1 is appended to the phone number and I get an error stating the network is busy.
At the moment, I am using TSM Gingerbang Evolved and it works fine. I get the network issue with Virtuous Unity (is the name right?) and more recently with RunnyDroid. I like some of the features of these other ROMS but cant put my finger on what the common factor is that makes Google Voice cause problems with dialing.
I'd like any assistance at all on this.. I think I may have read elsewhere that there are issues with Sense 3.0 and up with Google Voice, but I cant seem to locate that article now.
Is there no way to properly use Google Voice with higher versions of Sense?
Thanks,

Anybody? Are any other users experiencing the same issue? I read a few posts on random forums where some had the same problem, but no resolution other than trying a different ROM. Perhaps I should change my question..
What Sense-based ROMs have you guys used that still works great with Google Voice dialing out from a voicemail?
Seriously? I can't be the only one experiencing this. Anybody at all? Maybe I'm the only one who uses GV.
Sorry man, I don't use it. I read something about having to pay for voicemail using it one time and just stopped

You're not the only one having this issue. I'm experiencing the same problem as well but I just did the work around and edit the number i'm dialing out to delete the + from the number. It's a pain in the butt if you do it all the time but I normally just "send a text" to that number, edit the number, delete the +, copy and paste it into the phone app and dial out from there. A lot of extra steps but it works.
I'm sure someone will get around to figuring out why this is happening

This bothered me so much over the past few days I finally did some digging and I found a great workaround. It's actually an app on the market. It can edit any number you dial automatically to remove or add whatever it needs to.
Prefixer
By 253°Below
Run the app, Menu>Add Rule>Manual>Outgoing
You can label the title whatever you want.
Make sure the Rule is enabled
Under "When Number Matches" Type this in
\+?[0-9]{7,}
That tells it if a number is at least 7 digits long preceded by a + in the beginning.
During Days>Mon-Sun
From Time> 00:00
To Time> 23:59
Remove Characters
\+[1]
That's it. Try dialing a number from anywhere. Some of my facebook contacts automatically have a +1 in front of them and i'm now able to call without editing the number manually every single time.
THANK YOU!
That was driving me crazy...
thank you very much, this works like a charm and makes ROMs much more usable
Wonder why the devs of these ROMs don't include something like this, as you would think everyone has this problem. It may not be an issue with the built in phone call log, but definitely is if you use Google Voice.
thanks again
Not specifically related to the Nexus, but, on my previous Droid X and now my Galaxy Nexus, Google Voice (I have the inbox widget on my homescreen) always logs my missed calls in the Voice inbox and has a "missed" number for each in there. I have to go in and manually delete these every time.
Yet, in the Google Voice website settings for my account, I do not have " Place missed calls in the inbox" checked!! What the hell?
Can somebody please tell me why this isn't functioning right and how I might be able to make it stop? So annoying.
Thank you.
Well, simple issue isolation tells you it isn't your Galaxy Nexus, since it also happened on a different device.
As a result this really isn't the best place to get help about it. Have you tried the GV Support Forums?
https://groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/forum/#!forum/voice
Yeah I don't think that's a good place to post. Some posts from two + years ago have less than 10 views LOL.
Plus, I searched there and no one else posted this issue yet.
