This morning everything was fine. I was able to receive voice mail's via Google Voice and text through the stock messenger app (on CM7 nightly)
I went ahead and installed Deck's ROM and instead of restoring Google Voice via MyBackup Pro I just installed it fresh from the Market. This is where the trouble began. Fast forward...I restore my Nandroid of CM7 nightly (where i previously had NO problems) and this is what is happening:
1. Text are only coming through the Google Voice app...I can send text through the stock messaging app but cannot receive them.
2. When I pick up a phone call I now get a message stating I should press (1) to take the call or (2) to send it to voicemail!
This is driving me INSANE!!! I have a feeling that this new Google Voice integration with Sprint is what the problem is. I have no idea how to fix the problems listed above...please help!
Ok. I went to google.com/voice and logged in to access some options that aren't available through the APP. I was able to disable the "Call Screening" So now phone calls are received as normal.
However, I still can't figure out how to stop this POS Google Voice from messing with my text messages. Now when I get a text I get only a google voice notification and no stock messenger app notification. this is retarded!
In the Google Voice settings you have to check the option to receive text messages on this phone. If you have that and inbox sync turned on you will get text messages in both the messaging app and GV. It's annoying but it does work.
my only fix for this was to disable inbox sync, but have voice send me texts when i get a new voice mail. its so super annoying...

There is a workaround. Just figured it out so thought i would share.
Go to phone (first tab in voice settings) > edit settings > very bottom - check you would like to receive text messages on this phone & save settings.
Problem should be solved.
Hope this helped
Yep, you have to edit the settings for your phone, when it shows what numbers you have under your account.

Dude, I had this same issue, yes you can disable the pressing 1 option, but i disabled google voice about 50x on my phone, and i did about 5 factory resets, called sprint 5 different times talked to 10 different reps.. I literally tried everything for over a month to fix my texting issue, If i didn't use google voice i couldn't receive a text on my phone.. Sprint literally suggested that i just get a new insurance phone and that they would waive my $100 fee, which i wound up having to do... If you are unable to get text messages on your native app there is NO fix for it.. Don't waste your time trying.. I literally spent hours a day for a month uninstalling and reinstalling google voice, factory resetting, downloading every messaging app, reinstalling the messaging apk's.. Having sprint change my number and reset my phone.. There is nothing you can do.. The only way to fix it is to get a new phone.. Which unfortunately causes you to lose root.. Just giving you the heads up.. I'm in no way a noob and i'm extremely good with my EVO.. I'm rooted and have ran basically every ROM out there, and I've made 100 posts on google voice forums and on XDA and even called every rep at sprint to try and fix it.. To this day i've read this happening to probably over 50 people and Not a single one of them ever found a fix, and ever single post i read the original poster said they had to get a new phone to fix it.. and i'm just another number on that list, as i now have a 2.3.3 unrooted evo because of this= / Sorry man.. stay away from google voice.. They offer 0 tech support or live help and there is no fix for this issue as of yet.
Everyone will tell you, just go to google.com/voice and click 'disable' under the gear in the top right hand corner.. But i did this literally over 50 times and i would install and uninstall google voice over and over and over, and nothing i did would fix my texting issue.. You can try.. but i'm telling you it's not going to fix it.. Even a factory reset and not logging into my google account wouldn't fix it.. I have no idea what causes it, but somehow it permanently blocks your ability to receive text messages without their google voice app.
i am also having the same problem. after installing google voice to recieve voice messages on my sprint htc evo i no longer recieve text through my stock messenger. ive called sprint 4 times and been through the steps (resetting my phone, taking the battery out, factory reset,etc) but i still cant recieve text.
ive tried changing the options through the gv browser, nothing! is there no way to fix this??
I'm in the same boat. I rooted, flashed a couple find and somewhere in between I wasn't getting text messages or voicemails. I unrooted, factory reset and it was the same. I finally went in to Google voice and made the settings so I can now recieve both cm and texts but even with the Google voice app on my phone telling me that I should be recieving texts through the native app I don't. Not sure if this is a root users problem only or for stock users that never rooted their phone.

Oh and I'm picking up a replacement EVO today to "fix" the problem. I guess ill root it nandroid backup first thing and try a Rom out. Wonder if 3.0-3.5 sense roms are breaking it.

ive been on with sprint 3 times now, they are clueless. i can live with google voice on my voicemail, but i want my stock messenger as gv cant do picture texts. my stock messenger can only send but cant recieve.
question is, if i unroot my phone and install the 2.3 gingerbread update will it fix the problem with messenge and maybe voicemail?

Interesting. I had the same issue, and just as I was at wits end, and changing/editing all settings I got it to work. To review my settings:
Phones Tab:
Google Voice Number: (my cell #)
Forward Calls to: box checked - (my cell #)
- receive texts at this phone (box checked)
- Notify me of new voicemails via text (box not checked)
Google Chat (box not checked)
Voicemail & Text Tab
- Email the message to (my e-mail address) (box checked)
- Forward text messages to my emailmy email address) (box not checked)
- Transcribe Voicemails (box checked)
Calls Tab
- Call Screening (off)
- Caller ID (incoming) Display Caller's Number
- Enable "Do Not Disturb" (box not checked)
- Place missed calls in the inbox(box not checked)
- Send missed calls to my email(box not checked)
- Enable Recording (4), Switch (*) and Conferencing options on inbound calls(box not checked)
- Send calls and text messages from numbers identified as spam by Google directly to the Spam folder(box checked)
There are a few other questions/tabs but none of them seemed to have any remote possiblity of effecting calls/texts.
I also use Handcent as my text default text app
I hope this helps.

I think the google voice settings might conflict - just go reset them (see my post above for my settings). You may need to go to the app manager, click on google voice, and press "clear defaults" -- then the next time you press the message app, you will get the GV/stock messenger choice. You can then mark it as default.
I hope this helps!
well i unrooted my phone, but it didnt help, seemed to make another problem!, now not only would i not get texts or voicemails from the stock apps or any other for that matter, now i couldnt make calls or recieve any calls.
i called sprint and explained it all again asking for tech service right away so i wouldnt waste time removing the battery, updating the prl and profile etc.. anyway after a hour with a tech my phone is working good as new.
it was funny cause after he told me some things to do to it i started getting a flood of texts from the stock messenger and tons of voicemails from the stock voicemail app. it now works perfect, no google voice needed! he had a hard time getting the voicemail to work at first, he said it was going nowhere. when people called my phone it said the cricket customer! im with sprint! he had me enter some codes in the phone app that he said reset the phone, on his end and on the phone itself.
anyway its fixed! no need for a new phone.
heres the steps he told me to do, i hope i got the numbers right:
dial ##654458#, it will do something and go to another screen after resetting some things.
select edit
then theres two options, select the second number (msid i believe) (write it down first)and change the number to ten 1's (thats 1111111111)
then hit menu on your phone pad and select "commit"
the phone will reset itself.
now do those steps again but enter the old msid number i told you to write down, back into where the ten 1's are.
then hit menu on your phone pad again and select "commit"
the phone will reset itself.
it should be okay after this and you should recieve texts and voicemails from your stock apps.
note: i uninstalled and disabled google voice from both my phone and through the google voice web site settings.
I had the same issue. When you set up voice you integrated your sprint phone number with google voice. Uninstall gv and reinstall gv. On the first screen it asks you to integrate your phone number with gv. Skip that and proceed with normal install. All your issues will clear up.

Gv is pretty cool. You can set up different voice mail answer messages for different people. I have one for my wife and one for everyone else. Plus it'll dictate messages for you if you don't want folks to know you are checking you're vm.

Hello everyone. My epic touch works great except I can't receive calls. I think that this is a google voice issue because once I disable the google voice + sprint integration, everything works fine. Sometimes, my phone tells me that I have a missed call. The last time I remember receiving a call is before I installed the google voice app (not sure if that this is the cause). I haven't been able to receive a call for nearly four weeks now.
I am at my wit's end. I think I have tried everything short of posting to this forum until now, including:
1.) Following the advice on a similar thread in this forum. (To dial *710)
2.) Elsewhere it was suggested to dial *720, *730, and *740.
3.) Calling sprint. They suggested it was due to a service outage, though I doubt this is the case as I live in an area with good coverage.
4.) Doing a PRI reset to factory default settings.
5.) Uninstalling the google voice app (and reinstalling it).
6.) Setting up another google voice account to try with a different number.
7.) Having google voice integrate my carrier number over instead of the google voice number.
8.) Following the instructions on post #4 on this sprint forum thread. (To remove google voice, reboot phone, update profile etc., call sprint)
9.) Googling around. There seem to be others who have asked google directly for advice, but they all seem to be "closed to responses" before the issues are definitively resolved.
10.) Flashed another modem.bin found elsewhere on this epic 4g touch forum.
11.) I'm sure there have been other things I've tried..
Can anybody help me? I rarely ask for help but I think I've exhausted all of my options. I'm running StarBurst 1.6.
PS - Is it bad forum etiquette to write in bold so much here?
My phone wasnt receiving calls and i thought it was a google voice issue, so i uninstalled it and still the same issue of not receiving calls.
I dont know if your issue is the same as mine, but when my phone isnt connected to a charger or computer in sleep/idle mode, it wont receive calls or text. my text will come in when i hit the power button to bring it out of idle/sleep mode.
I got the run around from sprint customer service for about a week because of the issue so today they told me to take it to a service center to get it checked out. Turns out the phone is defective and they're going to take a week to get me a new phone.
Its not google voice, with the guy above me that makes 3 of us who are not receiving calls while in sleep mode!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312616
I'm not sure we have the same issue. I never have a problem with text, regardless of whether my charger is connected or not. If I disable google voice integration, I can receive calls to my carrier number, whether or not the phone is in sleep mode. It doesn't look like google forwards calls to my phone when someone calls my google voice number, though.
After re-enabling google voice integration, I left my phone out of sleep mode, called it, and awhile later the phone did ring for about half a second before displaying a missed call. This does not consistently happen as this is the first time I've seen this.
In the past two days it seems my phone has been acting up. I can give you some information about it. I hope this is enough.
Phone - Epic 4g
Firmware Version - 2.3.5
Baseband Version - S: D700.0.5S.EI22
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.7-CleanGB-MTD-gb805fd3
Build Number - CleanGB-MTD-1.0.5
Hardware Version - D700.0.5
The phone has not been ringing. When I say has not been ringing I mean I am not receiving calls. This could be due to two reasons. 1. The person is either hanging up before the 5th ring(this seems to be the magic number for my phone to actually ring according to some self tests performed today). 2. My Google Voice is picking up before the 5th ring and the people are hanging up. Now I am also not receiving notifications of missed calls. My wife has ranted at me the last two days about not picking up her calls to which I reply I had no clue that there were calls to where I show her my call log and the lack of her calls. I have called Sprint and went through about 20 minutes of back and forth and a reset a couple of times then a punch in of a ## 6 digit number # and did a MSID input. The Sprint tech said that the phone was ringing on his end and when I picked up said it took a while but he did a few things and then it seemed to have sped up on his end. Now after hanging up with him proceeded to call my phone from the wifes and it still takes 5 rings for it to pick up. Is there anything I could do to fix this. Is this an issue on CleanGB. Thanks for the replies. Let me know if you need anymore information from me.
im just taking a stab here but I think I remember reading this is a GV problem and had something to do with GV settings . Like I said not sure but you might wanna start there.
That is what the Sprint guy started off saying. How would I go about fixing that? Do I need to uninstall Google Voice? Sign out of Google Voice? or what I am willing to try anything right now.
I don't use Google voice, but if it's easy enough to uninstall & install I'd try removing it and see if problem persists. At the least you can tell if it is the problem or not

Uninstalled
I have basically restored my phone back to factory. I am on EL30 now. I uninstalled google voice that way. I also went to google voice on the web and fixed my voicemail on there. My phone still wants to ring 5 times before it shows me I have a call coming through, however I also do not have any voicemail at all now. After about the 8th ring it gives me a This caller is unavailable message followed in spanish then an error 261 message. Gonna call sprint again in the AM and see if they can reset something for me.
VM app try phonefusion its what i have been using and it works great i didnt really like google voice i just need voicemail i dont need something thats going to record my calls and text messages
as far as your phone ringing i had this problem a while back and i think it had to do with a cell tower not sending the call out right or something like that anyway ask tech support how the towers are responding in your area
Thanks
I will ask them about the towers today when I call. I have to call them now I have no voicemail at all. The sprint voicemail isnt picking up anymore.
Back on the 4.1/MC2 updates, I used Google Voice without issue. However, recently when I went back to Google Voice I discovered a major issue.
After doing the *28########## code, if my phone was ON and I missed the call, people weren't able to leave me messages. They would receive an automated phone company error message stating "the first 3 or 6 digits of the number you have dialed, is invalid"(I have verified this by calling my phone from different landline phones). HOWEVER, if my phone is turned OFF completely, then Google Voice picked up the missed call just fine. It's only when my phone is on and I miss the call, when I have issues.
I updated from 4.1(rooted) to 4.3 with Lorjay's MC2 to MK4 rooted zip, so Knox is not involved. It seems like there is something not right with the way the phone tells Google Voice to pick up after a missed call, but I have no idea where those type settings would be.
For reference, the stock voicemail works perfectly(after clearing GV with *38).
I have no idea how to go about fixing this. I posted on the Google Voice forum, but no answers and I have found nothing like it after searching the web.
I looked through the forums and could not find anything on this that is recent. If I missed something I apologize for the re-post.
What I am experiencing is rather annoying. I start most of my phone calls in one of 3 ways. 1) from the contact/missed/recent screens in the dialer app, 2) from the contact info screen, as access by Textra (my preferred texting app), or 3) voice command.
Regardless of how I start the call, more times than not I am greeted with the call about to start (in other words the dialer opens and the number is present along with the contact info) then the dialer will close. Then I try again by either swiping from the contact list, or sending the voice command again and the call dials.
I am not rooted, on the latest 5.0.1.
Any ideas?
Me too, same problem on 5.0.1. Annoying~
I have the Note 4 Dev and it is rooted with MOROM 6.5 installed, and I sometimes have this happen as well.
I have been experiencing the same issues. I'm also on 5.0.1 not rooted. Running Nova Launcher.

I have noticed this issue on MoROM custom ROM and a person did mention it on that thread so it seems like this is a lollipop bug for some or all :/
