I am new to Verizon, I just switched from Sprint aft 12 years with them(was tired of waiting for 4G). On my previous Sprint phone I had Google Voice installed, and I could send and receive SMS messages through GV. Now on my Galaxy Nexus, I will receive them fine, but when I try to reply to a message, it takes me to the native Messaging app. And now there is no option to create a message on the main screen.
What I have tried so far:
Selected "Via Google Voice app" under the GV "Receive Text Messages" option- several times
Uninstall and re-install GV- 2 times
Deactivate and reactivate the phone on the GV website- 2 times
And even onetime of uninstall, deactivate, reactivate, and reinstall
Anyone have anything else I should try?
I have the same problem

google voice with sprint had native support.
The problem I have with Google voice on Verizon is when I send a text from gv to another number its fine. When somebody texts my gv number it shows a completely random number as the sender. Really weird. I haven't called Verizon yet to see if they know anything. I think its something to do with what version does with the text once its received from gv before passing it along to me.

One of the three things I am going to miss with Verizon. others are unlimited data and cheaper bill.
I do not use my Google Voice number, I just got Google Voice for the integrated voice mail that I had with Sprint.

you can do voicemail forwarding, which is what i do. i no longer use verizon's voicemail.

This should only happen if you're having SMS forwarded to your Messaging app. If you receive them only via the GV app, you won't get the weird numbers.
I've used Google Voice on Sprint for ages, and loved the texting it offered. However, when I switched to the Galaxy Nexus (Sprint) it broke, and hasn't been fixed. Google knows of these problems, but they haven't fixed them, and they basically have the worst customer support ever.

I'm thinking about signing up for Google Voice, but it's telling me I either can use my current number or get a Google number and I have no idea which to pick. My main interest is Google Voicemail where I get transcripts, etc... but I don' want to miss out on the features that you get if you use a full Google voice number, even if I don't use them immediately and only use them at some point down the road.
Can I get a GV number, have my busy and unanswered call get forward to Google (for free on Sprint), and have the ability to in the future use my GV number for the other features as well?
Thanks.
i have a gv number and i still get transcripts and such via email when i have voicemails on my regular number

So, I signup for GV and get the number, then call sprint (do I have to call them?) to setup a conditional forward of my number on Busy/Unanswered to my GV number.
Then when I'm using my phone, it's still using my normal Sprint number to dial and receive?
You don't need to call sprint at all. Signup for google voice. Confirm your cell number on google voice online. After everything is setup dial *28 then your gv number on your phone. All of your voicemails will go to google voice now. to deactivate it, dial *28 then gv phone number.
Really? Because when I told google voice to handle sprint voice mail during setup it told me that wasn't possible with sprint yet...

GV can handle your voicemails without having GV take over your phone. You lose virtual voicemail, but you gain transcribed voicemails and the ability to listen to them online.

no it works, that just means that you wont be able to 'listen' in on a phone call and be able to pick up when someone is leaving a voicemail aka screening
or like the previous user above me said.... virtual voicemail
google voice is bad ass, i really like it.
if the 'broke' people or the folks who always buy prepaid was smart...they would just buy an android phone outright on ebay, craigslist or something and get a google voice number
i mean free calls anywhere in the US and text messaging?
damn near free phone.
i use it when i call phones who dont share same carrier... or low on minutes or whatever, etc etc.
the blocking a number feature is bomb too!!! not to mention dedicated voicemail greetings for each user/number
I've been bouncing around between ROM's lately and Google voice mail started acting a little wonky. Sometimes it wouldn't let me know when it received a voice mail and sometimes it would let me know 2 or 3 times. My Sprint number is not enabled through GV and I was just using the Google voice mail with my GV # forwarded to my Sprint #.
I decided I wanted to clear out everything and use the stock Visual Voice Mail app through Sprint and I couldn't get it to work, the Google voice mail kept receiving the voice mail. I went to the GV page and turned everything off...unchecked everything and turned off the call forwarding, nothing worked.
After digging around the interwebs.....I have learned of "conditional call forwarding". When you allow Google Voice to grab your voice mails, it is essentially call forwarding it to Google's servers. I had never thought about the way it worked and now it makes sense. As I was reading this, I ran across a few problems people were having when they forwarded their number to another phone and when they turned the forwarding off, the voice mails still went to the phone they had forwarded to previously....conditional call forwarding remained active even after they had turned off the forwarding, same as Google voice with me and others.
A few people posted about using dialing codes to fix this and I decided to chat with Sprint Tech Support to see if they had a fix. I let them know what I had found as solutions and sure enough, they had a matching solution...go figure. In your dailer hit *38 and call, when it connects you will hear a couple of busy tones and the call will end on its own. Reboot your phone and it should be good to go with your Visual Voice Mail app on your phone working again.
Call Sprint to have it reset.
sometime dialing the *38 and a reboot doesn't always work. My best advise is to call sprint and have them reset it for you. that was the only way I could used the default voice mail app.
Just tell them you had GV link to your number and you would like to use their/sprint voicemail instead of having your voicemail going to your GV inbox.

Google voice sometimes hours straight to voice mail without ringing my phone!
I had to unsync the 2 and now Google won't resync.
Frustrating.
I called Sprint tech (regular customer service is clueless) and they told me *38 and *28 both belong to Google. So if they don't work it's on Google and Sprint can't help.
That was last night.
I was able to re forward my voice mail to Google this morning but still can't sync my phone numbers.

I hate the old voicemail system found in Nexus. Any way to install sprint's voicemail system where I can download the voice mails and delete them from my touch screen?
Switch to Google Voice, or wait for Sprint to get their VVM updated.
Thanks! I guess there is no apk taht we can use that is compatible with nexus atm huh? that stinks.
Use Google Voice. It doesn't stink. In fact, carrier VM apps positively reek compared to GV.
i think you guys misunderstood me. I wasn't saying that voice stinks but the fact that nexus doesn't have vvm stinks lol.

Since you're with Sprint, it's easy to integrate your Sprint phone number into your google voice number. It's great because you can then text from voice.google.com on a PC and they show up as your cell number. It also lists all of your texts, which are searchable and always 'backed' up. The google voice app is just like a visual voicemail app. You can see a list of voice mails and delete/archive/listen to whatever you want. It's the one thing I miss since switching to Verizon.

You can still use Google Voice with Verizon. Basically, you configure your Verizon voicemail to forward to your Google Voice number, and then you configure Google Voice to send calls from your Verizon number straight to voicemail.
It's a more complicated set up process than you'd go through with Sprint, but its not bad. The only thing you lose with Verizon compared to Sprint is the ability to send texts the the GV website and have it look like they come from your phone. Instead, they'll use your GV number.

I fully understood what you were saying, and then indicating it was irrelavent. You don't use carrier VM with an Android device. You can get a superior GV experience. Hell, I switched from T-Mo to Verizon without having to re-setup my voicemail. All my old messages are still on file. That's convenience.

So long story short had an Epic 4g Touch on Virgin Mobile's $25 plan but need unlimited minutes now so I switched to page plus 2 weeks ago in hopes of flashing my e4gt to page plus. But I missed the unlimited data so decided to go with a gsm gnex and straight talk. Already have the phone and sim should be here today or tomorrow and I will be porting my number over.
Question is should I just port my number to Google Voice to avoid this hassle in the future? Is GV reliable? I can still use the stock phone and messaging app right (CM10 is the OS ill be on)? Is there any way to get MMS, like MMS-to-Email on sprint? Anything else I should take into consideration?
So should I just port my number to straight talk or port it to google voice?
Thanks
I say google voice (and forward it to whatever number at the time). The tricky bit is that smses would come from your original number unless you send them with voice also.

I use Google voice with its own number. I use the app. My Google number shows on text to them just fine. nobody had real number. I use groove ip to make calls thru voice. I set it up this way so that if gonna be late on Bill or whatever i still have"service" that people can call and text me with provided I'm in wifi. actually ran it this way for about a year without any service at all. . Just Google. Since everyone already had my Google i never worried about missing calls or text. If i left wifi zone Google stored all missed notifications so could retrieve once in wifi again. Ill promote.voice any day of the week.

Just set up a Google seperately. Give everyone that number. Once service is up and running forward calls from the Google to your number. Then will have service until they get it going and won't have to tell people to go back to old number. Will always have a phone too

Finally got my number ported to my at&t straight talk sim and all I have to say is damn this data is fast! 10x faster than my old virgin mobile trash. Even faster than my home DSL. Very happy now.
I think I'll hold off on Google voice for now though. My girl is always sending me picture messages.

Sprint + Google Voice => Straight Talk, now problems.
I had my Sprint number. When Google voice came out and Sprint allowed integration, I did that. Last week I ported my Sprint/GV number over to Straight Talk (after buying an HTC One X+).
I want to get text messages in GV, not the HTC messaging app. I want to make phone calls from my normal GV number, and when I get a voicemail, i want that to come through GV as well. Basically, I want GV to do what is was doing for me on Sprint, handling my voicemail and my texts (both sending and receiving).
Currently, when my wife calls/texts me (she is still on Sprint), GV takes the voicemail/text. Perfect! But when other people call my voicemail gives a message saying that I haven't set up my voicemail box yet (Straight talk seems to not do this very well), and text messages all go into the HTC messaging app. Sending messages from GV or HTC messenger both work fine.
Does anyone have any help for me? Do I need to switch my number with Straight Talk and just have my old number stored in GV, then do the forwarding thing? Can I do that with outgoing calls, so they appear to come from my "old" phone number? Any help you can provide would me most appreciated.

There's a spot in the GV settings to have your texts only appear in the GV app... or just remove notifications from the GV app and you're problem is solved (only using the HTC app then.)
You need a separate number on straight talk and then just forward your GV number to that one. (I believe that step needs to be done from a PC.) Once you've done that you can still make your calls using the GV app, just select it to be used for all calls.
About to make the plung to ST as well. Currently useing GV forwarding to a verizon number. The GV number is the only number used period, the veizon number is just a recptical for GV to rout to. I really miss the lack of mms and the txting over data sometimes isnt as reliable. Also really miss the mms and sms dedicated apps.
Is is possible to port your GV number to ST but not lose the GV service ?
I would love for my GV number to be the native number on my ST phone and enjoy all the sms mms and direct calls to that phone. But NOT lose the GV feature associated with that number. Not sure i can live with out the web interface on my desktop for checking voice mails and txt.
I know i can just forward to a new ST number but would love to only have one number for all communication as i would like to have mms back.

Matt, hopefully this reply won't be too late for it to help you. I've been recovering from surgery.
I actually have done this both ways now, so I think I can speak to various issues.
On My Phone:
I kept my main number with Google Voice and got a StraightTalk SIM with some other number. All of my calls, both incoming and outgoing, I route through GV (a simple setting in GV), and all my texts come through the GV app by default. I'm probably missing my MMS's, but that doesn't bother me as I only used to get 2-3 per year.
On My Wife's Phone:
She was much more concerned with GV's lack of text message threading, so we opted to port her Spring/GV number over to StraightTalk. Her voicemails go though ST, and cannot be transcribed. Her texts through her messenger app, and all her calls though ST. Basically she left GV. There is an option to still have GV try to grab your voicemails and transcribe them instead of going through ST, but ST does not support that feature, so it cannot be done.
Where you say "But NOT lose the GV feature associated with that number." I'm a bit confused. When I think of GV features, I think of text over data/from computer & voicemail recording, but you seem to imply there is some other I'm missing.
I hope this helps with your decision. Again, sorry about the delay in responding.

Thank you, actually about to activate tonight with a ST number and route through GV. As far as the GV features i was referring mainly to the web integration. Love being able to check my txt and VMs from a browser. I know there are some apps that allow such but i like the way GV does it. I knew what i wanted wasnt possible but i had hoped. I wanted to think that i could port my GV number to ST so that it would be the native and only number to the phone and still have GV work as it does now without sacrificing anything. I knew it wasn't a reasonable wish. Should things ever change i can always port my GV number out another day.
Thank you for the response

Matt, a quick update:
So there is a setting on the GV website that allows you to get your text messages through your phone's text message app, and a setting in the GV app that allows you to turn off GV notifications on your phone. Thus, you could conceivably use your phone as it was meant to be used (for SMS), and just keep the VM options enabled. I hadn't really known what that option did before, but it seems it may be helpful for you.
Also, if you found my posts helpful, please "thank" me. I'm pretty junior and I guess it would help me gain credibility in the forums.
Wasn't quite sure where this would go in the forum. Feel free to move it Mods.
I recently purchased a Nexus 4 from the Play Store and started a Monthly4G prepaid plan through T-Mobile. Everything works perfectly except for Google Voice. I add the T-Mobile number to the forward settings in Voice and it sets up calling just fine, but when I attempt to send text messages I get nothing but messages being "queued." I attempt to view messages in my inbox on the device I get an error saying "Network Error." Ever since adding this number I haven't been receiving notifications for new texts in Growl Voice and the Google Voice website doesn't load my inbox or settings either. Any ideas?
Thank you.
I may be wrong here, but I thought I read somewhere in the forums that Google Voice doesn't work with pre-pay T-Mo

What? Google voice works just fine with monthly 4g. You don't get conditional call forwarding but that's not the issue the OP is referencing.

So annoying. Every 12 or so hours, it pops up with a notification for 6 voice mails or something, all of which are old. I even make sure they were shown as read in the ap, and I played all of them and made sure they were read in the phone app.

Disable voicemail by calling T-mobile. That way your T-mobile voicemail doesn't kick in before your GVoice mail does.
Use the Google Voice app to send and receive text messages. This way you 100% know things are getting to you. I by-pass the built in messenger app which may be why some people are having issues.
That is it.

+1 here. Was on s3 with Google voice and now on the n4. Works just as it should. I had called T-Mobile to turn off my voicemail so I can let the voice voicemail get it instead

+2 been using it since the plan launched.
When you first get the plan call T-Mobile. Ask to have voice mail disabled (there is no conditional forwarding, as has said), and also have them remove web-guard. When someone calls your phone, if you don't answer, google voice should time-out after x rings and take the voice mail (this is the reason you disable it on T-Mobile, or else T-Mobiles system will take the call).

When I try to enable GV voicemail by entering the code *004*GV Number here# I get a error message. I got this on two different Android devices. What am I missing? Are you saying once I disable the TMo voicemail this code should go through next time?
The google voice number is not the same as my mobile number if that makes a difference.
Unfortunately, i'm unable to send text messages and i'm wondering if it has to do with entering that code number through your dialer. Worked like a charm before when I was not on a prepaid plan.

You just don't worry about any of that. No need to dial anything or enter any codes.
Someone dials your google voice number, it rings until your google voicemail picks up. Simple as that.
If someone dials your pre-paid number, it will ring and ring and ring and ring.
To send texts just use the Google Voice app.

Do I have to port my number through Google Voice for this to happen successfully? Right now my google voice number is different than my mobile number.

I just got a group MMS on Google voice from an AT&T user.... This shouldn't be possible right? What just happened?
I am in the process of porting my number away from Google Voice cause I hate the lack of MMS support, maybe a glitch?
I'm posting here because I want someone else to check without making a dedicated thread...I have so little faith Google has done anything ... Its probably a glitch

Hey fattire! I'm also a Google voice user - I'd be happy to pm you my number if you want to investigate MMS functionality.
