I use my Google Voice number for texting over wifi, as I am currently in between service providers. The Google Voice app, for me anyways, has become incredibly laggy and sometimes randomly crashes.
Is there some alternative method we can use?
Still looking. I found this project

I know a few people that use txtplus gold, to do txting. Also not sure if u know about grooveip, but it will let you make/recieve phone calls over wifi

Yeah I have been using grooveip for a while now with success for voice calls. Besides a little bit of echo that I can't get rid of it works great.
Google voice seems to run a little faster when launching it from the widget. For me at the least.

Are you using the regular Google Voice or the Sprint version of it? I had good luck once I used the regular Google and not the Sprint version. Also there is YouVoice that is very similar, but I found it to be slower than Google Voice.
I'm not sure what version I am using. How can you tell?

I just traded for an Evo 4G 004 model and when I'm texting someone and press the microphone on the keyboard
(htc keyboard)...it doesn't pick up my voice.
However if I use the voice search feature, the phone picks up my voice without any issues.
I'm running Ava's latest Rom of that matters. But highly doubt its a Rom issue because the same thing happened to me on Mikfroyo rom.
So do anyone know if there's a setting or any app I have to down lose for this work...or any other workaround?
***update***
I managed to get it working..it was a setting

uninstall the .apk are re install it again.
When I see the wimax radio sleeping... (zzz on top of the 4g icon) what's going on? Do I not have data, am I on evdo, 1x, etc? Also when the phone is in standby (screen off and phone off the charger) what's going on? Is it the same if the phone was on the charger? I'm using Google voice, which requires a data connection for SMS... so I was just curious. Thanks.

its the same as 3g. When its not being used, it goes dormant, until something wakes it up, even if the screen is off. the "zzz" thing is just samsungs way of being fancy.
HOWEVER...there are a few posts about some apps not waking the 4g connection properly, i think specifically google voice. Do a few searches and youll find em
I notice a lag when i use Facebook its slow to connect reconnect on 4G

Ahh OK. I wasn't sure. I had an evo 3d and of just turned the wimax radio on... then it would disconnect after a while...

Can't. Stock messaging still works, despite GV. I just use that.

Sorry! Misread that. Thought it said mms. To do that you have to integrate Google Voice into your Sprint (only Sprint) line. Either clear data on google voice and set it up that way... or goto google.com/voice nad choose a new number. Click use my mobile number and it will ask for your number. Just follow the instructions and click Sprint integration DO NOT PORT YOUR NUMBER or you will be charged.
I know my A100 is not capable of messaging like my phone but is their another mainstream commonly used means of messaging on this tab. I have been using Google chat and Google + but since not everyone I know use this I was just wondering what y'all professional texters do.
I use DeskSMS on my phone to SMS to/from my A100 using Google Talk. Works great.
Tablet talk is the best app
You can send sms and place phone calls through the tablet from your phone ....but for voice call sound can only go thru your phone or a Bluetooth piece ...not through the tab .....check it out

I'll check out the suggestions for the one I like best.
Thanks for the replies.
I went with Google Voice. I like it. I think texting is faster with it than on my phone that I am paying for the service. I still need to test the phone call part out to see how it works. I am happy just to have texting again like the phone.
This was a great buy on this tablet. I am enjoying so much more than my DX. Everything is easier for me. Even rooting, ad boxing was easier than the DX.
Thanks again everyone steering me in the right direction.
I would like to hand off my EVO OG to my siblings to be used as a secondary phone for when they are home alone. So far the only thing i have left to setup is some kind of internet calling. Can I set up Google Voice on a phone with no number attached to it? Does anybody have an easier way to do this?
Yea you can do that. No you don't need a number attached to it. Google voice should give you one, but only works over WiFi

Sweet. WiFi is fine. The phone should never leave their house anyways. Thanks.
I have an S3 with 4.1.1 and I'm just looking for the voice dialer that htc always uses. I use my Bluetooth to call ppl and i have juice defender. When the screen is off so is the net. And even with it on sometimes s voice acts the fool and tells me no service. I just want to make phone calls without pulling my phone out. Like the good ol' days. Can anyone help me please?
Much appreciated in advance.
