I've had Google voice since I've had a droid 1so i know it worked before. I've had my gnex for more than a year and had no problems (different ROMs too). It just stopped working all of a sudden. I signed out, I uninstalled it. It says my carrier doesn't support it. I've always had Verizon.
I've gone to the help thing it gives me. That didn't do anything. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, any suggestions?

Update: so i called my Google voice number with another phone and it works. But if I call my cell number it goes to my Verizon Voicemail. Idk why or how.

You might try going to the Google voice site. Login and go to your phone listing in the settings. I am next to your mobile should be a link for deactivating voice mail. I'd click that, ignore what it says next and click okay, then click activate again and punch in the code it gives you to setup forwarding again. It sounds like that might have gotten lost some how.
If it doesn't say deactivate then just do the activate process again. I haven't always had the best luck with the app setting the settings correctly so this might help.
Good luck!

Has anyone noticed lately that when you log in to google voice, it doesn't give the option to skip voice mail setup? Any way around this?
Huh? I only get asked when flashing a fresh rom

I usually sign in and out of google voice on a daily basis. It used to offer a "Skip" button when I would get to where it asks for the voicemail setup. Not seeing that option any longer. It's not a big deal or anything.. just requires me to go into settings and switch my voicemail options back over to my carrier.
Which app are you using? I tried YouMail and it never quite worked correctly. After I manually forwarded the number (the automated process didn't work), it never notified me of VMs.
Wish it worked, because I loved the caller id feature. So what are you folks using?
Google Voice gets the job done for me.

Might have to try it again. I used it on T-Mobile and it seemed that I often had friends complaining that they'd go straight to VM even if I had signal.
So i told Google to send a text. It asked me what i wanted to use, Google Voice or the messaging app. I use google voice so I chose that. But the text never sent and still wont send when i tell it to send a text message. anyone having this issue? or have any ideas on whats going wrong?
Just tried one and it worked.

weird i can send fine from the message app but if i try GV it just goes away. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling GV but its still not working :-(
Also if i click the contact and then choose GV it goes to GV but nothing shows in the message box but if i choose the messaging app, what i told google to send will be in the box. this is just weird

Did you check your sent, outgoing box? I don't think Google Voice is updated to work with Jelly Bean yet. At least the voice part of it...
Yeah its not in the outgoing either

And I just hard reset and its still not working. I don't know what the hell is going on!

Same here, reported it to google a little while ago, only seems to affect GV, the normal messaging app works just fine
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34175
also, typing 'send text to <contact>' into the search box then selecting GV does send the message, it's just the speaking the command part that doesn't seem to work.

Well I wish I had seen your post before I hard reset but at least now I know it won't fix it. Thanks for your help hope it gets fixed soon

Hey guys, I also have another issue with Google Now Voice Search. When I ask for weather forecast, it always returns result for Washington DC although my current location is Dallas, TX. The weather card in Google Now main screen displays the correct location, though. Anyone has the same problem?
P/s: I managed to get OTA update to JB 4.1.1 by doing the clear framework trick and restarting my phone several times, does that have anything to do with the above issue? Thanks!!!
is google doing anything to solve this problem ??
I haven't seen any updates to google voice app lately
I know Google voice has been giving people issues on the gs3 and I'm wondering if anyone has successfully gotten it to work? I use it just specifically as my voicemail provider. Any help would be appreciated.

Set up GV online first, following all the prompts to forward voicemail to GV. Then open the GV app on your phone and login. Works just fine for me!

Thanks! I will give it a try when I get home and report back.

when configuring the app, skip the voicemail set up
so does this work? I really want to change to google voice because I really hate the visual voicemail I'm currently using.
it works just fine for me.
when i install it i always let it try to do the voice mail change but it usually error's out, then i go to the website and do the voice mail forward from there and the keypad on my phone.
Wow that was too easy. Thanks for the tip!
Ever since I've been trying to use Google Voice I've been getting an error when configuring through the app. To get around this error, simply set it up online. Now it works!
Cheers
Howdy,
I just switched to T-Mobile today with a new G3 and ported over from Verizon.
I am having a problem getting the visual voicemail to work. when I try to use it, I get a unable to communicate with server error. This was happening on my wife's LG G3 too, I setup my regular voicemail just fine.
Anyone else having this problem? Or do you think it could be something to do with the porting process (everything seems to have ported fine)
Or any other suggestions (besides resetting my phone, I will try that last, but would like to not have to set up everything again)
Thanks!

How are you using google voice? On my handset, I have it all set up as I should, but the "Voicemail Provider" option within call settings is greyed out, I cannot change that to google voice.

Go to the Google voice website from a desktop. Set it up there first

Keyword there is "showing."
It's Google Voice. Call your phone from a different phone to confirm and you should hear your Google Voice greeting.

NP!
You can also call T-Mobile and have them do the following:
--Disable Voicemail on your line
--Setup the forwarding number to be your Google Voice number
You can also setup the forwarding yourself the be the Google Voice number. After doing this, even if I don't install GV after a flash, the calls still go to GV voicemail and whatnot.
