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!
So I just got my GN, and it's pretty freakin awesome! One thing I noticed though is that if I swipe calls to the left to ignore, it sends them to my new voicemail on verizon as opposed to my GV. If I let it ring all the way through though, then it routes to GV. It's not a super big deal because I can just push the power button and ignore calls that way, but still...
Also, the messaging sends through regular texts, and not GV...this last part I had heard before, but in case anyone else didn't know that.
Here's hoping they update the GV app to take care of these things.
My voicemail routing works correctly, however you're right on the auto-reply texts. Even with Google Voice set as the default action for messaging, they still send via the stock app.

Are you on verizon?
I went through a hassle to get Google Voice setup correctly on this phone. Had to upgrade my Voice account to a full Google Voice number, instead of just a voicemail number. Doesn't really matter, since I'm only using the voicemail functionality of it, but still.
Go to the phone and call *71 and your number (so *718001112222 if your GV number was 800-111-2222) and it'll set the call forwarding up correctly. Just have to make sure it's a *FULL* Google Voice number (can be done on the website - voice.google.com)

Yes, I am on Verizon. I use a full Google Voice account for calls, voicemails, and texts, and have call screening services turned off. I now use it on Galaxy Nexus and a Galaxy Tab 10.1; it's a wonderful setup.
On a side note, I did not have to call the routing number to set up my Voicemail forwarding. I simply selected "ok" both times during the Android setup process, ignoring the warnings about "incompatibility."
You should double-check your settings: https://www.google.com/voice#phones

My send to Google voicemail is working correctly when I dismiss a call, but the text messaging option still tries to use the built in messaging app even though I disabled it.
Anyone know a way to force it to use Google Voice for text messaging?
Thanks for suggestions everyone. Just did the *71 thing and will check to see if it worked when I get to work.
Not sure what you mean by full gv account... I use it for everything, so I'm assuming I am on full.
I also pushed OK and ignored the incompatible warning, but that didn't work last night... Maybe because of 4.0.2? Either way, hopefully im fixed now.

I use the google voice app for making calls..
For some reason it started happening since switching to ATT/New ROMs.... the call log shows the Google Voice forwarded numbers instead of the contacts i call! please help

Yes this is an issue with ATT stock rom. Annoying but workaround is to use Google Voice to check outgoing call log
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
Just upgraded to JB last night on ATT, using GV 0.4.2.66. Phone has never been rooted, stock ATT always. Problem still exists - place a call and the log shows the relay number, not the actual dialed number. Weirdly, back in August I think, after a bout of uninstalling/reinstalling GV, it worked perfectly for a while. Then some unnoticed update broke it and it started storing relay numbers in log again, and hasn't worked since.
As I understand from the MANY other threads out there on this issue, the problem lies with Samsung and their dialer not talking to GV properly. No-one has yet to have any help from Samsung, but the hope was JB would fix it.
Nope. I use GV all the time, so this is practically a deal-breaker for me
What are the options here ? Is it possible to use the stock JB dialer instead of the Samsung Touchwiz one ? I'll root and put in a different ROM if I have to ...
Thanks -
Google Voice stores relay number in call log, not called number
Is anyone out there using google voice with the S3 (on ATT) ? Have you gotten it to store the actual number you called rather than the damn GV relay number ? This is one of the most popular phones out there, and there are a metric ton of people using GV - surely someone has it working cleanly ?
It's frustrating. No workee for me either. Can't redial.
Actually, I wish Google supported GV more. No APIs, so many things can't be done due to using GV messaging.
According to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35616192&postcount=29
Some users (on Verizon?) are seeing it work correctly. This leads me to believe that some builds of 4.1.1 for the S3 may have this functioning correctly.
Some questions:
Does anyone know of any ROMs for the S3 that have the correct behavior with Google voice that work on ATT?
Can we take the dialer from the Verizon S3 and use it on an ATT S3?
Any other suggestions for resolution?

Thanks for pointing it out.
Looks like it is new to market. No reviews. ANd the link to the developer's web page appears to be broken.
I'll keep an eye on it and may try it later.
Would be nice if there were a limited time free version to check out.
I'm running Liquid Smooth rom based on JB 4.1.2 and my GV is working great. I noticed your issue on other roms that I test drove but I never did any troubleshooting to find out why it was happening.

I need google voice also, I have tried and flashed numerous roms, this is a google problem for sure, but this rom here, is stock and it displays the correct caller info everytime, been running this rom for 4-5 days, all #'s are listed correctly....
You can keep looking for an answer as I did, and it will come up with the same issue, google+samsung....quit wasting time and use this link...

Hope this helps, hit thanks button....good luck. BTW the newest version of google voice has issues, revert back to version before the one listed, or you will see some more issues....DO NOT TRY THAT google callback app crap...worthless...
Stock 4.1.1 was showing the routing numbers for GV in the call log, but I've flashed CM10 and the call log is showing the correct contact numbers rather than the routing numbers.

FYI...Jumpsquares is the developer of the app, it appears. He has not responded back here to my response above, so I'm assuming he is not paying any attention to this thread. Just dropped in long enough to advertise.
That being said I am happy with my stock/rooted Rom, and decided it would be easier to spend the $2 on his app than installing a whole new different ROM and reconfiguring everything. But after install, it needs email and password; it would not accept it and move on.
I unstalled for refund. Sent him an email to see what hes replies with. Will post back here if there is any progress.
When I was using stock ICS from AT&T with my S3 the call log history on google voice would show the GV connect phone numbers in my call history instead of the phone numbers that I was calling. Can anyone with stock Jelly Bean AT&T tell me if this is still the case with AT&T JB ? This is a deal breaker for me as being able to see actual real phone numbers in the call history is a pretty basic function of the phone.
I'm on stock JB AT&T and am still seeing the GV relay numbers in the Call Log, no change from ICS.
There's a setting the JB version of Google Voice to show the Voicemail Display could that be off?
I'm looking for the apparantly missing Call settings page for forwarding the calls to GV for transcription......
Stan more than likely it will fail to forward to GV and you have to set the number manually. Also for voicemail service mine says "My Carrier" but it uses GV. No idea why, but GV works if you put it in manually.

I must have had a brain fart and forgot that Call Settings moved from the logical Network Settings menu to the sort of forgettable Dialer Settings menu in ics/jb. I really think that it should be in both.
I upgraded using the root injected version from MrRobinson and Odin, that keeps my apps and settings so that I didn't have to reconfigure Google Voice.

This is so disappointing. Do you folks think Samsung might fix their buggy ROM on Google Voice call log soon?
If not, what's the best option? I suppose just to go CM10 ? (assuming other stock ROM derivatives might also have this problem?)
If I go CM10 by following the steps listed in the CM GS3 wiki, it will be easy to unroot and relock in case warranty is needed, right? (the wiki had huge warning fonts regarding voiding warranty).
Really hope to know what route you guys take. Google Voice is my only number known to others, and I have to call using that, and the current call log is useless, and this is 2012 with a flagship android phone ....
Thanks.

You just have to configure it manually, just like the original rom. Put your Google number into the forward number settings. Even though it will say that My Carrier is the answering service, select Google at least once and Google WILL BE the answer services, and you will get messages transcription in the Google voice app. If you set Google voice to do all calls or ask you how you want to call it will bring up a dialogue box. I don't use the incoming call keypad stuff, but I assume that they would work on a incoming Google call.

GV voicemail actually worked for me, as I initially set it up by using the code provided by GV website. My concern is with the called numbers shown in the call log. They are relay numbers not my contact numbers ..... Never had this with my old Nexus One.. And I see many complaints if you search for "google voice call log numbers, galaxy s3 or galaxy note II". Some claim CM10 fixes this, but would like to get some insight into this before I void the warranty for this .... Why can't Samsung get things right out straight

I went back to CM10. AT&T Jelly Bean was awful. I couldn't get over the hideous status bar at the top with Green color and & AT&T spam. Also dialer is complete garbage if you want to use Google Voice. Everything is working for me on CM10 except I have no bass on blue tooth.

while the phone in the phone's call list IS a routing number, the calls' correct number are recorded in the GV widget's PLACED list. You have to use the new "Show All Labels" to get there.

Could you point me to the particular CM10 version you use with ATT GS3? Did you follow the CM wiki direction ? Also, I suppose the route back to stock/lock/unroot is easy in case we need warranty, right?
I don't care ICS/JB... as long as there are no known issues/lags/fcs, and GV voice mail and call log display work as they should (as with N1 in 2010 or even earlier...) --- I can't believe we have to work so hard to get that ...
Thanks!
I had to remove voicemail from my phone in the Voice settings page. Then I had to add GV voicemail back to my phone with the forwarding code via GV. Now I am working, though it seems to take a lot of rings to kick to voicemail. Like 10 or so.

Anyone else having issues with their Verizon Voicemail on the 5X? Whenever I get a voicemail, instead of the regular notification that I have a new voicemail, I'm getting a text message with a bunch of gibberish, like this:
Code:
//VZWVVM:SYNC:ev=NM;id=4;c=1;t=v;s=xxxxxx;dt=27/10/2015 09:30 -0500;l=7;dev_t=5
Of course I just got off the phone with Verizon level 2 technical support and they told me that its my phone and it isn't compatible with the way their voicemails are handled in their system, which is just their way of passing blame to someone else.
Anyway, I'm still able to receive and check my voicemails, I just don't get the proper notifications anymore, just a text message with gibberish. I've tried the default google messenger and also Textra, and both do the same thing (thinking maybe it was my SMS app).
I also don't have visual voicemail, and told the verizon rep i just want basic voicemail, and they told me their free voicemail is some sort of basic visual voicemail now, which I think is part of the problem.
Any suggestions, or can anyone verify their voicemail notification icon is working correctly??

Same issue when setting up my sister's 5X. I had the issue initially when getting my Nexus 6 on Verizon very early. There will be an updated verizon visual voicemail app for nexus phones on Verizon in the future just as Motorola came out with one for the Nexus 6 IMO. There was one for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon as well back in the day. Until then, your best bet is to use Google voice to handle Voicemail. Works really well once you have it set up. If you dont use your google voice number for anything else; set it to do not disturb in the settings on your desktop so that it goes right to voicemail once your Verizon line is not picked up.....

No, you will not need the google voice app. You will need to access settings in google voice on your desktop. You can create a greeting through there and set the google voice line to do not disturb if you are not going to utilize it for normal calls. You will need to utilize hangouts to access the voice mails. They will come as texts and you can also listen to them through the hangouts app. Works really well in my opinion.

Ah yes I remember I played around with Hangouts and Voicemail back when the Hangouts Dialer was first released, I remember now that I had the option of listening to voicemails through Hangouts.
I think I have it all set up now, just have to find another phone to call my number and test it out lol.
Thanks again for the help!
Call Verizon and ask for disable visual voicemail. Ask for standard voicemail and block both standard and advanced visual voicemail. Then the old school voicemail indicator will work again.
This is the same issue CM users have had on Verizon with their visual voicemail.

I was told that would work as well when on the phone with Verizon.....
Just did a test on my 5x (Verizon) and it went into my VM and after I left a test message and hang up, it gave me the notification icon and sound. I never had visual VM before, so I don't know if that is the reason. Otherwise, working fine for me.

That is correct. However, did you make sure you have advanced calling activated on your account so that you can do data over voice..... Voice over LTE? Call in and activate it with Verizon if you dont. Sometimes with the activation of that , it automatically enters you into basic visual voicemail which can then be a problem.

This must be what happened with me, I activated advanced calling and I'm guessing that triggered basic visual voicemail which is the problem.
And the tech I talked to told me there was no way to remove basic free visual voicemail and go back to standard voicemail. Maybe she is wrong, I'm not sure, but either way I'm content with using Google Voice for now.

Yes, do this, for now anyway, until Visual Voicemail catches up with M. I still have Advanced Calling enabled, as well as HD calling, so VoLTE should work. With the Visual Voicemail removed (by VZW via chat in my case), I just get the old school simple voicemail notification on the status bar and dial *86 to retrieve.
Verizon Wireless Fixed my Issue
I had this issue since I got my Nexus 5X 2 months ago, and Verizon Wireless just fixed it over the phone and now it works fine. I don't use visual voicemail or anything fancy, although I used to use Google Voice up until a year ago.
He basically reinitialized the voicemail, so I had to set it up again from scratch, re-recording my outgoing message etc.
I should also mention my texts didn't work sometimes either... some MMS messages would just say "Downloading" and never download, and this happened often on my old Droid Maxx HD. The workaround was to disable wireless and wait for it to download over the data connection. Anyway this started happening on my new Nexus 5X also, but they reprovisioned the phone and fixed that also. :victory:
