CM7 stable build - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone please help me out? I can send text messages and all but I only receive them with Google voice for some reason. I've looked everywhere for the settings to change it to the default application for texting but can't find anything =/

Go to the website and delete the account. Then when you make a new one don't combine it with your sprint account.

Also when using google voice, in the setup don't choose the use a text client.

You can integrate Google Voice and still use your stock messaging app (or whatever app you want). That way you keep the other functionality of Google Voice if you want it. The only problem is you'll have to receive voicemail notifications via text instead of a status bar notification. Google Voice does not give you an option to be notified of voicemails only . Here's how you do it:
Once you have Google Voice setup with Sprint integration...
1. Open Google Voice and press settings.
2. Select "Sync and notifications".
3. Uncheck "Inbox Notifications".
-Yes, this will cause Google Voice to no longer give you status bar notifications
4. Check "Text messages" to tell Google Voice to notify you of voicemails via text message. It will warn you that you will get duplicate notifications, but you can just click "Ok" because you're not going to.
5. This last step is very important - Go to voice.google.com -> voice settings and click "edit" by your google voice enabled phone number. Make sure the box that says "Receive text messages on this phone" is checked.

[Q]

can someone tell me why Google Voice has taken over my text messaging? how do I get it to stop? I went to Google Voices site but could not find any way to stop it.
I had same problem, called sprint tech support, you have to be unrooted and call from another line not your phone, they give you codes to put in your dialer then your good to go. Good luck!

No need to unroot, if you set up your Google Voice with Sprint Integration this is a "feature" of that. I went went to google.com/voice and completely got rid of my Google voice acct, then on my phone I uninstalled the app. After that's all done to back to google.com/voice and set up a new account with a different number then your cell phone. After you set up a different num D/L Google voice from the market and this time when it asks if you wanna integrate your account click 'skip' and just use Google voice for your default voice mail.

it sends your voice to google to analyse it and sends back the text.
open the google voice app on your phone. goto sync and notifications. uncheck Inbox Notifications, and check text messages. Should be just like normal. You will then get a text message when there is a voicemail which you can open up the google voice app to listen to it.

Did you set it to be your default sms app?
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Google Voice,
then scroll down to the area "Launch by Default" and clear the defaults.

[Q] SMS messages are only going to Google Voice, and bypassing "Messages." Why?

[Q] SMS messages are only going to Google Voice, and bypassing "Messages." Why?
I have my Google Voice integrated with my Sprint phone number. Normally, if somebody texts me, it shows up in Google Voice, Messages, Handcent, and whatever other messaging app I have installed. I just configure the notifications as I like them, so that I'm only notified by 1.
Ever since I installed Synergy, incoming messages only go to my google voice app. They don't show up in "messages."
If I send a message from "messages," then the outgoing message also shows up in google voice. But any reply I receive will also only show up in google voice. It's like only google voice works for incoming messages now.
This is still true if I uninstall google voice from my phone. I can only send. Not receive.
Please, someone out there give me some advice. I'd rather use the native app and just use GV for my desktop.
Uninstall Google voice.
Then redownload it.
When you run it for first time, br sure to skip the sprint integration at the very beginning. Now you should be back to normal

Settings -> Sync and Notifications -> Check Text notifications.
Or go to voice.Google.com and change it from there.

Having Voicemail Problems!!!

Ok for some reason when I recieve a voicemail it no longer gives me the notification at the taskbar that I recieved a voicemail.
Instead it texts me that I recieved a voicemail but it doesn't actually text me whats in the voicemail.
I can't figure out why these settings changed. Why did it stop telling me that I have a voicemail in the notification bar.
I recently downloaded Handcent SMS but the problem started way before I downloaded the app.
I checked the messaging settings and can't find anything. I also checked Handcent SMS settings to see if I can find something for voicemail notifications. No success in either.
Before I downloaded Handcent sms I didn't get any type of notification just a missed call. When I just checked my voicemail one day I had 8 voicemails...
1. Where can I find the settings to give me a notification in the taskbar when I recieve a voicemail?
2. Also in my voicemail how come I can't set the system standard greeting? I have to leave a personal greeting. Is there anyway I can get the system standard greeting?
Probably google voice

What are you trying to tell me.
Is there a setting in google voice that I can turn on to have the notification in the taskbar? and to shut it off from sending me a text?
What about the personal greeting?
Did you go to www.google.com/voice and click on your number on the top right-hand side and look at the settings? Under the phones tab you can tell it to send you a text when you get voicemail. Under the voicemail & Text tab you can change the greeting to System Standard, and Transcribe voicemails.

Stupid google voice!

So I apparently signed in to google voice (used it long ago for an aosp ROM) and I now I get duplicate texts. I've signed out of the app....didn't help. I also went to the google voice page on my desktop and into settings, phone, and tried to unselect my number but it says I have to have at least one forwarding number.
Does anyone know how to turn this off? And why the hell do they make it so difficult to not use their product???

Turn off texts in the Google Voice settings.
Under what tab in settings? I can't find an option anywhere. I only see a box to check for a text notification for new voicemail. This box is already unchecked though.
open the google voice app on your phone go to settings>sync and notifications> receive text messages and select also via messaging app
for me when i have google voice ticked it goes to both so i hope this works for u
Thanks guys.I also had an app called "cold shoulder" that was giving me multiple texts.

Issue with Google Voice App

I'm running FE22, however this problem was noticed in several ICS builds.
I'm trying to use the Google Voice App for all my texting/voicemails. I'm using the "use your google voice number..." option in the integration, as I had my google voice number set up prior to moving to Sprint.
Google voice is not notifying me of new voicemails or text messages. The online webpage (as well as the Google Voice plugin for Chrome) see the messages right away.
I've checked every and all "notification" type options on the phone. If I enable the "send text messages to phone" and "send text message when I have a voicemail" I get notified via the text messaging app, however that's not what I want. It should notify me in the status bar and play a sound when a new text message/voicemail comes in WITHOUT sending it to the native text messaging app. I swear it used to do this in GB, but I can't be sure if it was on my old Verizon phone, or this phone.

If you go into the Gvoice app - is it set to sync background data?
I've run a few ICS roms and haven't had this problem.
Maybe try clearing the data on that app or uninstalling/reinstalling fresh?
If you are using a battery saver app that disables mobile data or background data, like Juice Defender, then Google Voice will not receive updates while data is disabled. No updates to the GV app, then no notifications.

try this. Open Google Voice App, Menu, Settings, Sign Out. Now, when trying to sign back in, it asks if you want to "Skip" or go "Next". This is asking if you want to integrate the "special Sprint+GoogleVoice" application. Apparently Sprint and GoogleVoice have partnered up. So click SKIP not NEXT. Skipping will allow you to go about Google Voice in the NORMAL SET UP.
I was having trouble making phone calls with my Google Voice number. I experimented and realized that this Sprint integration was the culprit.
Let me know if this solves the issue
So it's fixed now. I'm not 100% sure what did it, but I think it was the option "Voicemail display". I had it checked at one point, and it seem to start working after I unchecked it.
However, prior to this, I had also completely wiped my phone (deleted everything on the internal SD card) and flashed the latest FE22 build.
disable the "Voicemail display - view and play voicemails from the phone call log"
An update for anyone experiencing this and puzzled as to what fixes it. Of course this could have far more variables in play but the setting that enabled the Google Voice voicemail notifications to work was disabling the "Voicemail display - view and play voicemails from the phone call log" option under Google Voice settings. I am running GA10 (JB 4.1.2).
