Sprint and Google voice - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I have been restoring a titanium backup of voice for a long time but being the happy new owner of a GNex I Installed fresh from the market. It didnt ask about the google voice number integration (the part we all skipped) Did I miss something or have they changed something. I also remember it asking about texting but now it only asks about calls. Can someone confirm. Thanks

I'm not sure what your question is? Do you or don't you want the integration? Are you having problems making or receiving calls or texts?

I dont want integration I just remember having to skip that part and now it no longer asks. I just wanted to verify with someone who has set it up recently that they removed that part. also if someone who JUST uses it for voicemail only would check their settings within voice > sync and notifications > it says receive texts via google voice app (which was another step which was missing I didnt choose that option upon expanding it the choices are that and via the messaging app. I do not want google voice to do anything but voicemails and the new app dosent appear to have the previous steps to deselect those options. I was just looking for verification
Thanks
also on the sprint GNex I recieve a flashing led upon rec of a voicemail but do not have the flashing led with a new text can someone verify this as well Thanks agn
Edit
I chaged the setting to receive texts via the messaging app and now i get a flashing indicator weird

U can select it to receive text also but it doesn't automatically integrate....have to go into settings and check it....

Has any one downloaded Google voice and not liked how, when you awnswer the phone you have to push "1" to pick it up? I tried uninstalling it and it still does it.

Call sprint and they will remove it...I had the same problem and they said that even if u uninstall it it stays registered on there side and that's y u have to call them

Uninstalling the app does nothing you have to go to Google.com/voice and configure the settings really easy and simple

Its an option on the website. This is nothing new. User error.

Ain't no "user error". It just appears.
I didn't have any problems until one day it started to say "press 1 to pick up" or something like that. I never changed anything on GV webpage.
I had to uncheck "call screening" or something in that sense.
For some of you who need repeating stuff to understand, I HAVE NEVFER CHANGED ANYTHING ON GV WEBPAGE BEFORE"
Okay so where is that setting at if its not on the website, I'm not trying to argue with you guys I just want to know how to remove the pressing one bs.

Once logged in under the settings turn off call screening... also make sure that you have the receive text messages box checked or you won't get texts

It is right on top under the Calls tab

You can also un-integrate with your sprint account and it will act as a separate number on your phone. I have google voice plus app installed and have it set so that any calls to Canada are dialed with my google voice number and no long distance charges are incurred. All other numbers are dialed with my regular sprint number. Note that if you leave your google voice number integrated with Sprint, all calls will be dialed with google voice. That setting can also be found on the web based settings for google voice under the Phones tab.

Pressing 1 to except phone call

Im nnot sure when it happened...but its very annoying to have to press 1, after sliding to answer phone call. I've odin'd back to stock and i stillhad to press 1. But my friends unrooted ET doesn't have that requirement. His can I fix this??!!

Do you have google voice? that could be it.

Thats almost definitely it. It a setting you can change in Google voice.
Sounds like you have Google Voice.
I believe this has something to do with Google Voice's Call Presentation settings. Turning it off makes it so that the first phone to pick up an incoming call, will automatically answer it.
I've uninstalled it before and relized that stock voicemail blows donkey...but I will try it again.

You can either set it up for just voicemail or you can use the full integration of Google Voice. The full integration enables you to screen calls, block unwanted phone numbers from calling you, handling your SMS traffic and a bunch of other things.
It sounds like you have the full integration enabled.
Yup, definitely Google voice. Log into you account via a computer and go through the settings and you'll see it there.
Like everyone else said gvoice change it online

Settings/calls/voice screening •OFF
Its should be off by default. It took me forever to figure that out.
Edit: Yea I ment its on by default, but should be set off and to switch it on if you wanted that feature.

Nope. It's set to on by default--which, I think, is a bad idea. Most people automatically hang up when they get anything resembling a voicemail so I ended up having to call people back because of that feature. I quickly turned it off. Voice is otherwise great, though.
Yes I noticed I get alot of 3 sec voice mails. Thx all

Gotta love the Google Voicemail to text.

Dialer Search like Vanilla Android

So...wife just got this phone and loves it except that the phone doesn't search all contacts when using the search function in the dialer. It only searches the contacts that were chosen to be displayed.
On vanilla android...the search will include all contacts including the ones that are not selected to be displayed.
Is there an option to get this working or is that the way Samsung wanted it?
She doesn't like Rocket Dialer...

on mine it will show all contacts, just have to select arrow down option that shows all available contacts within that number
Okay...I'll check again...
But, this is what I'm doing...
She has groups...she selects friends and family groups to be displayed. She is typing in the name of a business that she has under the group business...The phone says no contact found...even when pressing the search all contacts button.
But, I'll double check about the arrow when she gets home. Thanks.
Sent from my Transformer TF101
Nah...no such arrow. Seems that this phone doesn't search all contacts when you ask it to. Weird... why even put that option there if it's not going to work...since while you type...it's searching all contacts selected to be displayed.

In the attached screen shot is the arrow i'm referring to..I hit
2 and basically once I press it, it gives me every contract that name starts with a, b, and C.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Okay. No arrow for me. But I think maybe we're not on the same page...I probably wasn't very clear.
I have contact groups A, B, C. I only want to display A & B on the phone....so those are the only ones I have checked in the display option.
On Vanilla android dialer....if I'm searching for a contact on group C...I hit the search all contacts button (after the phone tells me that there is no such contact within the current group chosen to be displayed)...and it goes and searches through group C and finds that contact.
On this phone...when I do that...it does not search group C. It just searches group A & B only.
But, I'll check again tonight...because I am getting old......but, I'm pretty sure this phone's dialer doesn't do it.
Do you know if I can just extract the phone apk from vanilla and use that instead?

Ok Google sms messages fail to send.

I've had this problem for a while and I i can't actually recall if it ever worked. Now with a Android Wear watch the issue is extremely noticeable since it hinders the use of one of its main features.
I have OK google from any screen and even when locked but for some reason when i tell it to send an sms it will do it BUT the recipient never receives it.
It creates the sms on my phone but the recipient never gets it.
Maybe its my texting app but i have used Stock, Google, Hangouts, Textra. None of them seem to send through the "OK google command."
Any one able to offer some insight on this issue?
If some one has it working on their note maybe list what sms app you are using.
update: When I use google now it appears to be sending to the right number but it has a "011" in front of it which is why it isnt working.
I've tried almost all...
Verizon message+ works the best sms and mms. hands down

Your saying that when you say "OK google > Text my xxx > Hello" that it actually sends no issue? I've been using message+ for a month now and it has never worked with Google Now/ Ok Google command.
yes

Do you have the default samsung messages disabled or is it still there?
yes I have it frozen
I have reinstalled Google search, android wear, play services, reset my watch.
I have deleted all of my other texting apps except messages+. I have also disabled the default Samsung sms app.
Will still nothing works. The text shows up as sent but nothing is actually sent.
I think it may have to do with the default settings but my messaging app is not listed because when I chose Google voice it did send via Google voice. When I chose messaging it said it sent but it never did.

Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I'm having the exact same issue on my Galaxy S5 and it's driving me crazy.
I'm having a similar problem with my moto 360 and Note 4 DE.
What is kind of weird is I can send my friend (or myself) a message from my watch to their Iphone, but I can't send my wife a message on her S4. I noticed she just received an update not too long ago and was thinking the problem was somehow with her phone or newer version of android wear. However, I am curious to see what people find out.
Edit: I further thought it was my wife's phone as she has had problems lately of sending double text and her sent text showing up after she recieves a reply. In case any one is wondering her phone is a stock Verizon Galaxy S4.
FYI I am using Google Messenger.

Phone app settings

I'm trying to set up Google Voice as my voicemail, but it only lists my carrier as the only option. I've searched around a bit and have seen people say to go to the settings in the Phone app and enter my GV in call forwarding.
Problem is I don't see that option on the VZW variant.
Can anyone tell me if I missing something?

I have the same problem and I can't find anyone who's experienced this besides you . I feel your pain . I was thinking since there update to gv they took this option out.
Try this.

look at this forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s8+/development/rom-s8-t3627537 it might give you some ideas =)

Google Voice will be your voice mail if you simply set the call forwarding correctly to your Google voice number. You can set your call forwarding thru the My Verizon app, online on Verizon Wireless website, or thru your dialer app by dialing *72 plus your Google voice number then press the call button. If you use the last method, you'll hear a couple beeps then it will hang up... And that's it!
Once you do this, your GV number is your voice mail. Further, you can change your voicemail speed dial setting if you choose (when you long press the number 1 on your dialer) by going into the phone settings shown in my attached pics.
Lastly, the "my carrier" setting is really a non issue. I've been using GV for voicemail for years now. On verizon phones I'm pretty sure the ability to technically change that setting to something else has been gone for awhile. It really doesn't matter what that setting says.... It only matters what you have you line call forwarding set to. The label isn't important.
