Yes this is an issue with ATT stock rom. Annoying but workaround is to use Google Voice to check outgoing call log
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

Just upgraded to JB last night on ATT, using GV 0.4.2.66. Phone has never been rooted, stock ATT always. Problem still exists - place a call and the log shows the relay number, not the actual dialed number. Weirdly, back in August I think, after a bout of uninstalling/reinstalling GV, it worked perfectly for a while. Then some unnoticed update broke it and it started storing relay numbers in log again, and hasn't worked since.
As I understand from the MANY other threads out there on this issue, the problem lies with Samsung and their dialer not talking to GV properly. No-one has yet to have any help from Samsung, but the hope was JB would fix it.
Nope. I use GV all the time, so this is practically a deal-breaker for me
What are the options here ? Is it possible to use the stock JB dialer instead of the Samsung Touchwiz one ? I'll root and put in a different ROM if I have to ...
Thanks -

Google Voice stores relay number in call log, not called number
Is anyone out there using google voice with the S3 (on ATT) ? Have you gotten it to store the actual number you called rather than the damn GV relay number ? This is one of the most popular phones out there, and there are a metric ton of people using GV - surely someone has it working cleanly ?

It's frustrating. No workee for me either. Can't redial.
Actually, I wish Google supported GV more. No APIs, so many things can't be done due to using GV messaging.

According to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35616192&postcount=29
Some users (on Verizon?) are seeing it work correctly. This leads me to believe that some builds of 4.1.1 for the S3 may have this functioning correctly.
Some questions:
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?

There's an app in the Google Play store that will fix this problem. Just search the store for "GV Outbound Call Log Repair".

Thanks for pointing it out.
Looks like it is new to market. No reviews. ANd the link to the developer's web page appears to be broken.
I'll keep an eye on it and may try it later.
Would be nice if there were a limited time free version to check out.

I'm running Liquid Smooth rom based on JB 4.1.2 and my GV is working great. I noticed your issue on other roms that I test drove but I never did any troubleshooting to find out why it was happening.

I need google voice also, I have tried and flashed numerous roms, this is a google problem for sure, but this rom here, is stock and it displays the correct caller info everytime, been running this rom for 4-5 days, all #'s are listed correctly....
You can keep looking for an answer as I did, and it will come up with the same issue, google+samsung....quit wasting time and use this link...

Hope this helps, hit thanks button....good luck. BTW the newest version of google voice has issues, revert back to version before the one listed, or you will see some more issues....DO NOT TRY THAT google callback app crap...worthless...

Stock 4.1.1 was showing the routing numbers for GV in the call log, but I've flashed CM10 and the call log is showing the correct contact numbers rather than the routing numbers.

FYI...Jumpsquares is the developer of the app, it appears. He has not responded back here to my response above, so I'm assuming he is not paying any attention to this thread. Just dropped in long enough to advertise.
That being said I am happy with my stock/rooted Rom, and decided it would be easier to spend the $2 on his app than installing a whole new different ROM and reconfiguring everything. But after install, it needs email and password; it would not accept it and move on.
I unstalled for refund. Sent him an email to see what hes replies with. Will post back here if there is any progress.

[Q] google voice call logs

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.

Google Voice & AT&T JELLY BEAN

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 ...
Thanks!

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.

Can we take the dialer from the Verizon S3 and use it on an ATT S3?

google voice issue

have two Sprint phones. My primary phone is the Note 2 with my main phone number being my Google Voice number. The second phone is an S3 that is also set up with Google voice and pointing to my main phone number. Most features are working but I have an interesting problem that just started when I added the S3. Specifically, when I have both phones on sometimes the phone rings first on the S3 which may then answer the call and send the message to the Sprint Voice message app and not to Google voice. This is problematic since I often keep both phones on. Any ideas?
My second issue is when I reject a call by swiping the screen to reject the calls goes go the sprint voice message and not the Google.
Other than these issues everything else works. Calls go to both phones okay and calls out of both phones work okay and the caller I'd shows my Google voice number.

have two Sprint phones. My primary phone is the Note 2 with my main phone number being my Google Voice number. The second phone is an S3 that is also set up with Google voice and pointing to my main phone number. Most features are working but I have an interesting problem that just started when I added the S3. Specifically, when I have both phones on sometimes the phone rings first on the S3 which may then answer the call and send the message to the Sprint Voice message app and not to Google voice. This is problematic since I often keep both phones on. Any ideas?
My second issue is when I reject a call by swiping the screen to reject the calls goes go the sprint voice message and not the Google.
Other than these issues everything else works. Calls go to both phones okay and calls out of both phones work okay and the caller I'd shows my Google voice number.

Use the dialer code that you ran on the note 2, on the S3. The s3 is still set up with your Sprint voice mail, you need to forward it to your g voice mail.

you need to go to your GV settings https://www.google.com/voice/#phones/
and for your Forwarding Options: pick
Ring my other phones before going to voicemail
for both phones.

Thanks that send to work.

Does Google voice calls count against your plan minutes? I tried to set up my previous phone GS2 with Google voice too thru wifi but when I place a call the Sprint prompt saying my account could not be validated comes on

sprint - for reasons I don't understand - seems to have problems with "full google integration". Whatever that means.
as far as I can tell AT&T and Verizon have no issues.
I always install the Google Voice app on all my phones and make sure that all calls go through my GV number (because that's how I wish to use it).
I also make sure to update google voice app on Every phone it's on or your calls will get redirected. In other words GV has to be up to date on all phones for it to work properly
yes, google voice can be complicated, but I have found it quite convenient

Yea, it took me a few days to get it setup right the first time...and TBH, if I had to do it over again, I'd have to scratch my head for a few moments to remember what all I had to do. If you follow the setup page that Google posts on the GV page you should be fine....trying to set it up without reading any instructions will cause headaches.
But man has it saved my tail a few times. Last was only a few days ago, between car being worked on and not having wheels and my phone soft brick...only reason I got my phone back was thx to Google Voice and calling via computer.

Just sign into your Google voice account on a computer and go to settings (the little gear in the right corner). Right there on the first page of settings it should give you the option to disable Google voice on your sprint phone just hit that and your sprint number will ring separately from your Google voice number. Then you can give certain people your real number and others your Google voice one =D

Google Voice losing out to Tmobile Vmail ;)

Okay this is weird, I had a Galaxy S2 that I must have flashed new ROMS on at least 50 times and reinstalled all my software but this is the first time I've ever left my phone stock and now Google Voice doesn't work.
I've disabled Visual Voicemail by freezing it so it's not in the picture.
Voice is installed it's all signed in, background sync is on but when a call comes in it goes to TMobile's voice mail instead. Checked settings and voicemail is set to Google Voice.
Maybe because I never stayed on stock before I'm missing something?
Perplexed,
Kevin

try uninstalling and reinstalling it, that will probably work.

I'm going through the same exact scenario so ur not alone. Don't know why it won't let me setup correctly. I haven't spent too much time troubleshooting but I'll get on it soon.

Same issue here. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling voice, but still no luck. It's not a huge deal, but still kinda annoying.

Make sure your conditional call forwarding is set to forward to googles voicemail and not tmobiles. Did you just get a new sim card by any chance? The forwarding settings are stored on the sim card and I've had ROMs that simply wouldn't save the new voicemail forwarding settings... If this is the issue then go back to stock, reprogram your sim then reflash your desired ROM. Voicemail isn't handled through the "my carrier" or "Google voice" setting, its handled through conditional call forwarding.

Try deleting app from phone. Log on to Google voice on your computer. Will give u a "deactivate" code for you to disk on your phone. Then reinstall app & run setup on phone.

If you are on T-mobile prepaid plan, you do not have conditional call forwarding so you will not be able to use GV instead of T-mo's voicemail.

Problem solved. Just manually set the forwarding numbers (when busy/unreachable/unanswered) to your Google voice phone number. If ur like me and don't remember what it is just go to Google voice app settings and scroll down. Also make sure your voicemail is set to Google voice. This is all done under call settings. Ezz pzzzy

I solved the problem by calling TMO customer service and having Visual VoiceMail removed from my account. Nasty stuff, that app. It hijacked my voice mails, so that when I accessed them through normal voice mail retrieval, I never had any new messages...they were all automatically marked as "saved." :silly:

Came here after searching... Same issue. I changed conditional call forwarding and will see if that works. Silly question, no additional charges for call forwarding?

I had this same issue. It appears that Google Voice no longer sets up the call forwarding for you. I had to go into the conditional call forwarding and it worked after that. I believe they're there for unanswered, unable to reach and unavailable and they forward after that.

I had the same issue as everyone - go through the online setup from voice.google.com again and it will give you the magic # code that will update all your call forwarding and that does it for me - in addition to the settings menu that allows google voice to handle my voicemails.
Now i see voicemails in the call log and google voice is integrated there.
dont recall the hascode - but it will contian your google voice number as the end portion - this will forward all calls (from the network side) based on the status of your phone (out of range, no answer, and rejected) - you could have them each go to a different number if you really wanted to
