Hi,
I have an evo with DeckRom on it (gingerbread). I'm trying to get skype to be my default dialer, or even better to have it prompt me for what I'd like to use as a dialer (phone or skype).
I can't for the life of me figure this out. Phone doesn't show up under settings-applications-manage-all. I've cleared defaults from gocontacts.
I've tried uninstalling skype, then rebooting the phone and redownloading the app.
Still nothing.
Other thing I might like is the ability to choose google voice to make outgoing calls if that is available.
Thanks in advance.
Bump for this. I'm having the exact same issue on my thunderbolt running stock/rooted debloat. Any help would be great as I'm retiring the thunderbolt and basically turning it intoca glorified pda/voip phone.
Google voice can be set as a default dialer/SMS/voicemail app but Skype I don't believe will set as a default however on decks gb rom in settings under calls you can set up a SIP account for voip calling with no added apps it will use the default dialer to call over ip
When I first installed skype, android gave me the option to choose how to complete the call. I no longer receive that option.

My goal is to either:
1. have the option of using skype, google voice or T mobile when initiating a call from my contacts list
or
2. be able to access and successfully choose a contact from my list when I'm on skype
At some point (I don't know why) my phone stopped giving the choice of using Skype, google voice or TMobile for an outgoing call. I would love to get that back since Skype doesn't allow me to use my phone contact list to make calls. Any ideas on how to achieve my goal?
Please tell me how to have a notification on my email when someone responds to my question.
Thanks

You're in the evo4g forum no one here has tmo as the evo is a cdma phone not gsm
Same problem here since upgrading to latest Android. Did you find a solution yet?
bzzz
Did you manage to find the solution to this?

I have switched to a tw rom and uninstalled google voice.... does anyone know of a way to change that seeting back to answer a call like it is supposed to be? Thanks

Go into google voice's setings (your account on a computer, not the settings on the phone) and turn off call screening.
it was getting annoying thanks
Not sure if this has been posted anywhere else yet, but the latest update to this app allows you to integrate voicemails directly into the call log (and play them from there) for phones running ICS (yes this works in CM9).
http://googlevoiceblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/google-voice-for-android-now-with-ice.html
To enable this just go into Google Voice settings and enable "Voicemail display"
Sounds very cool
now if only i could find the updated app inverted..
Do the new ICS roms restore the option to set certain contacts to always go directly to voicemail? This is a feature I have missed ever since I upgraded from my Moment running 2.2.
I know I can create a "silent" ringer, but I don't even want to see certain numbers calling... Like that damn window company that calls every week trying to get me to buy their windows!

You will need a Call Blocker app that can filter SMS and Voice calls.
Hey guys. I had a sprint number that has since been disconnected. I am using MIUI now and I can send texts just fine using the Google Voice app over wifi. When I try to update to a new version of MIUI I can't go through the steps to verify my number because it no longer exists.
Anyone have a work around for this? I have tried restoring the app with titanium backup but it wants me to set it up again each time.
Stumped at to what to do. I set it up before without the phone number, but now I can't seem to figure it out.

+1, trying to setup Google Voice with a Line2 number, no success yet.
Won't be any either, they only support major carriers.
Just go to the online Google Voice settings and add a phone number in it. You don't have to keep the number on the account; it just needs to be there long enough to get through setup in the Google Voice app.
I have a deactivated device that I can make VOIP calls with using my Google Voice number with the native dialer, and text through the native SMS app.

Not sure I understand - of course it works on WiFi . The device is deactivated - how else would you be able to connect, and/or use the phone?

You can dial out with your stock dialer with Google Voice over just WiFi, without any service?
When I try that, it says Dialing with Google Voice, and then "Mobile Network not available" immediately afterwards and no call. What am I doing wrong? Also there seems to be no way to dial out from my Line2 VOIP line as if the number was my GV number. GV is confusing

Do you have it set up? You have to set up PBXes and it essentially uses Google Talk to connect to the internet dialer so you can make phone calls.
Just Google for the guide on setting up Google Voice with Android PBXes and native dialer.
Try Groove Ip. My Sprint Number has been disconnected & I been using this to make calls & texts over WiFi. I set it up fine after switching Roms but my voice number was already setup on the sprint # that has been turned off. Try going to your voice options on your browser & see if you can change anything there.

Does this use the Internet Calling features of the native dialer, or is the app required to make and receive calls? I prefer using the native dialer as it works correctly with bluetooth.

Thank you, this worked well, I'm still playing with it but, I think I'll be able to replace Line2. :good:
Update: After using it for a few days, I tried out Sparephone ($3 in the play store) and loved it way more. Now I'm working on a plan to switch to Ting and ditch Line2 (replacing with Sparephone and GV), and I'll be saving like, literally $140 a month (!!)....it sounds crazy but I'm pretty sure it'll work. I love GV!
Update: Yeah it totally works, no more Line2.
If you are on GB you can use Google voice version 3.2 and it will use your gtalk instead of having to use the phones number to verify. Also you can use groove IP or talkatone to make calls with Google voice. I have been using this way for 2+ years now with a Wifi Hotspot that I carry in my pocket. I am pretty much through with Mobile carriers now. If on ICS or JB then you would have needed to have confirmed a number at some point in the past in order to verify it with the newer version of Google voice. Unfortunately version 3.2 or older does not work with ICS or JB.
