I have been looking for an app that will give me a popup when I receive a text message or voicemail via Google Voice. I am on stock Gingerbread on an Epic 4G and use GV exclusively for texting, and for voicemail. Popup Notifier Lite does this nicely. If interested you can check it out here
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nlucas.popupnotificationslite
To configure for GV you go into Other Apps for and check GV.

I want to just use google voice so I can send texts over wifi through my phone since I don't have signal in this area....but its also taking over my voicemail.
When people call my sprint number, it says "THE GOOGLE VOICE SUBSCRIBER BLAH BLAH BLAH" beeeeep and then I get the voicemail in my GV inbox. Is there a way I can use google voice and still keep my voicemails coming to my sprint visual voicemail?
Like when I get into service, id like my voicemails to pop up in my phone....

I like to use VLingo (free from the market) to handle the voice to text and text to voice type of stuff. It works really well and has a lot of good options.
But that's just it... I don't need text-voice.... I just need google voice so I can send texts through wifi while I don't have sprint service, but it also took over my voicemail... I want my voicemail to go back to sprint. Is there a way I can take google voice away from my voicemails and sill use it to text?

I found this on a google board: http://www.google.as/support/forum/p/voice/thread?tid=4c77cb96271a525f&hl=en
"For Sprint users, dialing *38 on your mobile device deactivates the forwarding vmails to your email address associated with your Google voice and returns it back to your mobile voicemail.
I just did this today and it worked! Wish someone told me this 3 weeks ago. LOL."
Hope that helps
Finally got around to use my Sprint number as GV number. This adds an option to send/receive text from GV. Way cool that I was able to text with just a wifi connection while in Dominican Republic w/o phone service.
Back in states now and I get sms twice, once in native app and once in gv... along with two notifications. Would like to use native sms and notifications, but can't figure out how to disable GV text notifications w/o also disabling vm notifications. Is it possible?
Options are for checkbox "notify via text msg" which I assume means a text msg will be sent to ur phone when u have gv vm/sms( which I've never gotten)? And the other option is to have status bar notifications, but I think that will disable both sms and vm status bar notifications.
Guess I could just disable notifications from native app, and uncheck send sms to this phone from gv on the pc?
Also seems the spring integration gv has removed the option to place calls using gv?

"Also seems the spring integration gv has removed the option to place calls using gv?"
the google voice app will change once u enable integration. You no longer need to use the "call using google voice" option because it will automatically use gv to make long distance calls for you. Billing for this is done through your google account NOT your sprint account and it no longer requires data (wifi or 3g) to call using gv.
It's integrated.
Regarding your notifications:
Menu -> More -> Settings -> sync and notifications
uncheck "synch inbox"
check "notify via text messages"
All text messages will now come through your native sms client only.
Of course you can still view your text in the gv app by forcing a refresh as well.

Lot's of settings from the PC and GV app, hard to understand how thew all work together? Tried lot's of combinations...
Think I'm gonna stop using native sms app and just use gv for all sms and vm. Nice that it keeps a log of all (both in and out) across all devices. And you don't have to restore sms after a fresh flash and wipe.
Does seem to be somewhat of a delay sending sms from gv. How do other's have it set up?
Can gv do mms?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
For now on the PC:
Under phone.. uncheck receive text
Under vm/text..uncheck email and sms notifications to phone
Under native app...notifications off (will gv pick up inbound mms)?
Under gv app..sync inbox, uncheck notify via text msg, and check inbox notifications
Does that sound about right?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
I think you're confusing yourself a bit...and me as well. What is it EXACTLY that u want to happen?
Do u want to receive text using the gv app or the native messaging app?
I receive all notifications through my native app only. I do this because you can only receive mms messages through the native app (GV does NOT work with mms).
I also receive vm notifications through my native app. However, in open the gv app to listen to them. This is the only reason I use the gv app.
If this sounds like what u want then do the following:
PHONE:
Synch inbox - unchecked
Text Msg - checked (btw..this option is the same as checking "receive texts messages on this phone" from the pc).
PC (voice.google.com) :
under voicemail - "Send a text (SMS) message to Cell" - checked
under phone - "Receive text messages on this phone" - checked (AGAIN...this is the same as checking "Text Messages" on the GV app on your phone)
Hope this helps.
Thanks! It helps a lot understanding that some of the gv app settings on the phone are the same as google.com/voice.
Yeah... way confusing. Started out as a cool way to get sms while overseas. When I came back it was weird to get double notifications and seeing some sms show up in the native app and some in GV. I think it would be a lot easier if GV had a way to differentiate between sms and vm notifications, but it appears its all or nothing. Options, to summarize:
1. Your way: all sms/mms and associated notifications come through native app. VM notifications also come to you as a text message, and you then open up GV to view/listen to vm. Question: Does GV keep a log of all your incoming/outgoing text messages?
2. My proposed way: all sms and vm and their notifications are handled by GV. MMS bypasses gv and I get the mms and notification in the native app (I turned native notifications back on). All incoming/outgoing sms messages are logged in GV (even text sent from native app) AND available across all my devices (Nook Color and google.com/voice)... which is kind of cool because I can pick up the conversation w/o my Epic. It's just weird how GV app breaks down the conversations... I've got like four different threads each containing several sms to/from Missy. Don't understand why they're not all combined as conversation with Missy.
So clear as mud... still interested in how others have it set up?
Yeah, I really hate how gv does message threading too...that's y I use the native app. Hopefully they upgrade the app soon. When they do I'll switch over completely.
All incoming text messages are recorded in gv whether u receive it in the native app or not. I'm not sure about outgoing though. I believe they are recorded too but the only way to know for sure is to test it yourself.
[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.

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.
I have tried everything I know to stop the texts from 9016, but they keep coming. When I was having network issues, I installed google voice, but since its been removed I keep getting these. I turned the notifications off in google voice before I deleted it, I have tried sending a recorded message to [email protected] or whatever, I have tried sending a message to myself. I have tried blocking text via sprints website, I have tried blocking texts via the text blocker app built into the phone.....anyone help?

100 views and no info?
call Sprint customer service or maybe tech support. I've personally got no idea what a 9016 text is, so it's possible that no one else here knows either.
Go to the market and install mycalculator by chirpapps and put in 9016

black list the number..
go sms has the ability
along with many other security apps
just block it.
the 9016 is something to do with google voice having to forward your calls to get voicemails. Once I removed google voice, i continue to get the 9016 message, along with the notification from the voicemail app

I'm assuming you have a 3rd party sms/mms. Go into your third party settings and make sure "disable stock notifications" is NOT checked. Head over to your stock sms/mms and disable notifications.
If that doesn't work, uninstall your 3rd party and reinstall. When installing don't disable stock notifications if prompted to.

Subscribe to voicemail text transcription then unsubcribe. It might take a couple of days but it will stop
9016 is a related to visual voicemail voice to text service. A rom has to block it at a java level if doesnt include working visual voicemail. I had this issue on htc evo. Or yes blacklist it.
