I can use my A100 perfectly fine with Sipdroid and my google voice account, however the problem is more or less a convenience issue. Sipdroid doesn't have a good way to view your contacts like in an address book, and it also doesn't dial from the "People" app when you try to place a call using sipdroid. I have had other android devices that the contacts(now People) will allow you to call a person from the internal dialer or a 3rd party one and it automatically forwards the call to sipdroid accordingly. I installed the Dialer One app hoping that it would solve the issue on my A100, and that is when I found out that it didn't work at all with it. I get a message saying "Telephony feature is unavailable on this device" I have had other tablets without telephony capabilities that this app has worked with. I am wondering if there is a simple mod I can do to trick the app into thinking it does have telephony capabilities, or if there is some way I could recompile cm9 to include any missing libraries, system files, apks, etc.. such as the internal dialer. If anyone has got Dialer One to work for them with SipDroid +GV or if you know of an app that works like the default dialer app (that we don't have) then please let me know. I appreciate the help. If I can get this figured out I'll make an attempt at providing a custom ROM with the dialer and telephony features enabled just for people who wish to use Google Voice calling with their tablet. If it is as simple as a build.prop edit then I will add that to my custom build.prop in my thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1799148
**Edit: I think I found a solution to get SipDroid to place calls when calling from "People(contacts)" I was looking into the process that takes place when a call is initiated and I seen that we have a Phone.apk in our a100 roms, but the process is nullified so nothing ever takes place when something triggers it.
I had the idea, well what devices that are tegra2 based have ICS and allow phone/voice calling? Motorola Atrix 4g does.. So let me find the Motorola Atrix 4G Phone.apk and replace the one I have in /system/app/ with it. Lo and Behold I can now make calls directly from my contacts!! This fixed it, partially.. What still doesn't work? Dialer One still gives the same error - "Telephony feature is unavailable on this device", but now I don't really need Dialer One anyway since I can just use the builtin contacts through the People app. Another thing thats not really desired, once you make a call you will get a blank window for the Phone app at the bottom of your "history" list (button beside the home on the launcher) I will try to figure out a way to get rid of this annoyance and prevent history from ever showing the Phone app.
If you want to try it your self, here is what to do (you must be root):
If you have Android ICS 4.0.3 or newer Download the Motorola Atrix 4G Phone.apk here. **If you are using HC then you will need the Phone.apk from a Tegra2 device that runs HoneyComb 3.x**
Mount /system writeable
Move the file /system/app/Phone.apk to /system/app/Phone.apk.bak
Put the downloaded Phone.apk in /system/app
Touch the phone number for a contact in your "People" app
Choose to call with SipDroid (or other app in list that accepts the dial function)
Watch the call take place (you may want to try dialing someone you know you isn't going to answer the phone or wonder what you are doing haha)
**Please note that this does not enable the "Call/Dial" app to show up in your applications, it simply allows calls to be passed to a Sip dialer such as SipDroid**
I just got an A100 the other day and installed Talkatone. I thought that it integrated with People like it does on my android phone. After reading your post, I tried it out. Talkatone has the "phone intercept" options but nothing happens when you click on a number in People. However, if you have the "intercept sms" option in Talkatone enabled, clicking on a number in People will start Talkatone for sms. Looks like it is dependent on the phone.apk.
However, for Talkatone, you don't really need the People app. Talkatone displays your "people" in the Contacts tab so it is easy to dial out directly from the app. Overall Talkatone works pretty good with Google Voice on the A100, both sending and receiving calls.

Thanks for the tips, i will check out talkatone, but for now the "People" app works great the way it is suppose to. its always nice to try something different though too! +1
**Edit: I installed talkatone, it works wonderfully well with the Atrix Phone.apk, when you are in the People app, when you click a number to dial, it will prompt you for what you want to use to complete the action, first pick Call(Phone), don't pick Talkatone or SipDroid, then it will prompt you again to complete the action using either Call (Phone) or Talkatone- it should immediately bring up the Talkatone dialer and begin the call. To eliminate these steps, just set the check box to always use the methods on both prompts. First prompt just choose Call/Phone.apk - Second Prompt choose Talkatone. Now when you click a number in People in will automatically call in Talkatone ** Thanks notjustafone for the recommendation of Talkatone!!
Hello all,
Does anybody know any current ROM that would solve the problem of the number dialed not being shown properly in the call logs when using google voice? For example, if I can my buddy: 716-466-6666 - it should show that number instead of a Google voice's access number.
Any current ROM has this feature for the NOTE 2 would make me so happy.
Or can someone recommend a good replacement dialer app that handles the Google Voice call log properly?

disclaimer: I'm a prospective Note2 owner.
With that, I use GV as my main number and use this app:
GV Callback
for all of my outgoing calls. Hopefully it's not a Note 2 issue, cuz that would kill me. But definitely give it a try if you haven't already. I don't like how GV natively handles calls, so I set it to *never* within the Google Voice app.
Feel free to check out the themed version in my sig too.
/end shameless plug.
Let me know if GV Callback works for you, as I'm curious to know. I think both were pulled off of the play store for some reason, hence the amazon link. (there's a free version too).
No, call back does not solve the problem... we can call out just fine, it's the display of the called number not showing... but instead it's a google access number....

Really? Wait, so dialing out using gv callback shows the routing number on the call logs, for sure? I didn't think it used a Google number to place the calls.
There's another app called gv integration. I forget right now if it deals with calls or just SMS. Will check tomor.

For users who've sold their soul to Google by porting to GV (I'm one of them), this "bug" is really debilitating. As the OP stated, it has to do with the dialer's outgoing call log. Every single call made (through GV) logs as the proxy number dialed to connect to Google's phone system.
When I was still on my Amaze (ICS Energyrom), the stock dialer would show the contact's number as the call was initiated, and momentarily a small white pop-up box would show the GV proxy being called. That pop-up would last for about 3 seconds. The stock dialer call log, however, would show the contact's actual number.
On the SGN2, the dialer's main screen shows the random proxy number as the call is made (and for the duration of the call). Further, the stock TouchWiz dialer log will also show the proxy number. There is no way to know who you actually called by looking at the log.
The (frustratingly inefficient) workaround is to open the GV app, click on "show all labels" and selecting "placed". There, the GV call log shows the actual contact's number called.
Obviously TouchWiz does not play nicely (or at all) with GV. It is unable to differentiate between the proxy number and the actual terminating (contact) number dialed. Very frustrating.
According to my brother, who's had the SGSIII since it came out, this has been a problem since day one with TouchWiz. His fix was to go with CM10. Unfortunately, that's not an option for us (yet), and I don't know if s-pen would be supported. ;(
Oh, wow, I hadn't noticed this yet. It's like a throwback to a couple of years ago, I haven't had to worry about this in a long time.
It's interesting because on my Verizon galaxy S3, running the latest leaked jellybean ROM, but otherwise stock, the dialer does not behave the same way as this T-Mobile galaxy note 2 does. On the galaxy S3, the number displayed is the number of the contact not the Google voice routing number. I wonder what is different about the note 2, since they're both TouchWiz and jellybean.
Anyways, it's a bit tedious to set up originally, but I worked around this on older phones by adding the Google routing number as an alternate phone number for each of my contacts as I used them. That way at least the proper name and contact picture shows up in the call log even if the correct number does not.
I tried using a third-party dialer just now, and as most of you probably know, it does not record the call number properly. Bummer!

I've tried several "dialers", but they all get fed the same garbage from TW. As for the call back apps, I didn't specifically try the one you mentioned, but did try two others. Unless I'm missing something, they intercept the outgoing call, call your GV number (where you can hear the GV girl say, "Press 2 to make a call to a new number...") and then the app uses DTMF tones to "dial" the intended contact. I've tried that, and it does work - sort of...
The one I tried (can't recall the name) took about 20 seconds to complete the process (too slow in my book). And while the call log showed a call to MYSELF during the call, once I hung up, the app somehow edited the call log to reflect the outgoing call being made to the intended contact. That alone tells me some app developer is two steps ahead of Samsung (and possibly Google).
In any case, having used GV on HTC's for the last three years - flawlessly without any hoop-jumping or other heroic efforts - I've become spoiled to where anything less than a direct call (i.e. no call back or audible multi-dials) is a failure for me.
Coming from Galaxy NOTE 1 I didn't have any problem with google voice but yea i am having the same problem of not showing the number you are calling in call log... just today i dialed a number which was not saved in my contacts so i wanted to redial the same number again in my call log the number is not there to redial so i had look at the paper and dial it in keypad and it sucks.
I emailed one of the 3rd party developers (Xinlu), but kinda doubt I'll hear back. I know he figured this out before, and know this can be solved with one of the call back apps. Wouldn't count on Samsung or Google to fix anything like this, obviously.

OK.
I got my note, and finally just got to test it. I wish you guys tried the app I recommended, because it works fine. Call logs show up correctly for outgoing calls.
Free Version Google Voice Callback
Donate Version - Google Voice Callback
The dev is no longer active.. and has never answered my emails ;P
But, on the other hand, he's saved me literally hundreds of dollars over the years.

We don't want to have to install a third-party app that makes you take the extra step of being called back just to get an accurate call log. Your solution may work for you, but it's not the solution for everybody. What we really like is to just see Samsung make Google voice work with their dialer log on the note2 the same way it does on the jellybean version of the galaxy S3, and every other modern mobile phone that Samsung or HTC make. Thanks for the tip but I'll just put up with this outgoing call log bug rather than having a callback option.
I'm not even sure that I'll bother cluttering up my contacts with the routing number as an alternate number for them which was the prior fixed of this on older phones. I just don't look at my outgoing call log all that often. Your mileage may vary. Thanks again

Trust me, I would love that as well.. I just don't see it happening.
I've literally written a dozen emails over the years reaching out to Samsung and Google (lol), including Vincent Pacquet.
I used to save the routing number in all of my contacts, and I *still* find myself cleaning up stray numbers. Keep in mind, the routing numbers change every once in a while. So one day (this has happened to me sev times), some or all of them won't work.
Whatev works for you though I hope a solution is on the way.

There are several 3rd party dialers on the market. Some are better than others, but give it a search. I used to use RocketDialer for a minute.

I mentioned this in an earlier post, but it bears repeating and might lead us to a solution on our own.
I've had a Verizon Galaxy S3 for 5-6 months, using both stock ICS and now a leaked "stock" (debloated) JB ROM. I can't say with certainty that on ICS the call log behaved the way we want it to, but I'm pretty sure it did. I can, however, say with absolute certainty, that on the "stock" JB ROM I'm using right now, it works perfectly. I just dialed two different numbers and they displayed properly, no GV routing number.
So, Samsung, ToucWiz, Google Voice and Jelly Bean for all calls on two different devices; does't make sense that it works on one and not the other.
I tried copying the dialer app over from the S3 to the Note2, and it worked as a dialer, but it didn't address the call log issue, which on the Note 2 was still borked. I'm willing to move over other apps in an effort to see what's holding us back; any suggestions? There's a listing in Titanium Backup on both phones for "Call Log", could it be that simple?
I had a SGSIII before my Note II and on AT&T anyway, the call logs showed the routing number on both ICS and leaked GB, though all the GB builds I tried were from differant carriers. I'm getting the OFFICIAL JB update that was released last night installed, and will report back if it was fixed in that update. Just as a thought, All of the SGSIII JB builds were built after the Note II, maybe in our next update this will be fixed.

I just tried on the official AT&T JB on their SGSIII, and still shows the GV routing number, I think the only time I have seen the logs correct is in AOSP roms.
Yup. Google voice logs work when I had cm10 on my Galaxy s3. Stock JB is a no go.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
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.

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 ...

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.

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?
