[Q]

can someone tell me why Google Voice has taken over my text messaging? how do I get it to stop? I went to Google Voices site but could not find any way to stop it.

I had same problem, called sprint tech support, you have to be unrooted and call from another line not your phone, they give you codes to put in your dialer then your good to go. Good luck!

No need to unroot, if you set up your Google Voice with Sprint Integration this is a "feature" of that. I went went to google.com/voice and completely got rid of my Google voice acct, then on my phone I uninstalled the app. After that's all done to back to google.com/voice and set up a new account with a different number then your cell phone. After you set up a different num D/L Google voice from the market and this time when it asks if you wanna integrate your account click 'skip' and just use Google voice for your default voice mail.

it sends your voice to google to analyse it and sends back the text.

open the google voice app on your phone. goto sync and notifications. uncheck Inbox Notifications, and check text messages. Should be just like normal. You will then get a text message when there is a voicemail which you can open up the google voice app to listen to it.

Did you set it to be your default sms app?
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Google Voice,
then scroll down to the area "Launch by Default" and clear the defaults.

Can someone please help me out? I can send text messages and all but I only receive them with Google voice for some reason. I've looked everywhere for the settings to change it to the default application for texting but can't find anything =/

Go to the website and delete the account. Then when you make a new one don't combine it with your sprint account.

Looks like that worked out for me. Thanks a lot man =)

Also when using google voice, in the setup don't choose the use a text client.

You can integrate Google Voice and still use your stock messaging app (or whatever app you want). That way you keep the other functionality of Google Voice if you want it. The only problem is you'll have to receive voicemail notifications via text instead of a status bar notification. Google Voice does not give you an option to be notified of voicemails only . Here's how you do it:
Once you have Google Voice setup with Sprint integration...
1. Open Google Voice and press settings.
2. Select "Sync and notifications".
3. Uncheck "Inbox Notifications".
-Yes, this will cause Google Voice to no longer give you status bar notifications
4. Check "Text messages" to tell Google Voice to notify you of voicemails via text message. It will warn you that you will get duplicate notifications, but you can just click "Ok" because you're not going to.
5. This last step is very important - Go to voice.google.com -> voice settings and click "edit" by your google voice enabled phone number. Make sure the box that says "Receive text messages on this phone" is checked.

[Q] VZW Galaxy Nexus + Google Voice Installation

Has anyone had any trouble getting the google voice voicemail set up on the VZW galaxy nexus? Whenever i get to the voicemail section it gives me the error
"Carrier config: unfortunately your network carrier is currently not supported for automatic configuration. To use google voice as your voicemail provider, please visit google voice help center for more information".
Going to the help center has nothing on how to manually set it up.... My droid 2 had no problem setting this up automatically... am I missing something?

I've done those steps, but they didnt work. The *71, *90 and *92 also didn't work in my situation.
I eventually ended up uninstalling on the phone, and deactivating and then reactivating the vvm from the web admin panel. The *71 number worked, and then reinstalled voice on the phone. It worked after that.
It seems that the error i posted in OP is present always for verizon. Still works if you manually dial the instructed number. Not sure why....

try to have someone call you and leave a voicemail message. i've only had my nexus for a couple days but i was able to set google voice up on the first day. i got the error that it couldn't be set up the normal way but in the settings and everything it looked ok and i had someone leave me a message and everything worked like it was supposed to.

Hey I hate to bring up this old thread but Ive been troubleshooting this problem long enough so I figured I would ask here.
I'm having trouble getting google voice to work the way I want to. I set it up and it seems to work, whenever people leave me voice mails my google voice app pops up and transcribes it and gives me a notification of a new voice mail. But I cant seem to set custom voice mails for specific contacts. As a matter of fact I cant seem to change my voice mail at all...it just says my recorded name.
So I go on my computer to google voice and make changes to my voice mail greeting and these changes are not reflected in my phone. Also I call my google voice number on my phone and try to change the voice mail there but it also doesn't change it.
Sorry this is long and confusing but maybe one of you know what I'm talking about

Google voice number question

Do I have never tried Google voice and I'm confused about what exactly it is to be honest. When I go online to view my Google voice account I haves phone number assigned to me, but if I try to call that number out says unable to complete the call. I have the number associated with my spring line but nothing happens. Am I just misunderstanding Google voice? I was hoping I could use that number for people that I don't care to share my real number with that way I can just turn off Google voice in my phone when I don't want to be reached on that line. Sorry for the run on its late.

Wow, not one person had an answer for me? I guess posting in the Q&A forum wasn't the best place, if I would have posted in general or development I'd have an answer already a day later.

Here's a good place to read up on it.
http://support.google.com/voice/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1205636
You have two options when you install google voice, you can select next during install to integrate google voice with Sprint. What this will do is you will have the option of either using the google voice # as your actual phone number on the cell phone or you can port your Sprint number and it will replace the google voice # that is assigned.
From what I understand from what you are trying to do, I would make sure that when you install the app, select skip to avoid the Sprint integration. Then your next step would to to sign on voice.google.com and set up a call forwarding. This will enable you to give out your google voice number to people and when it rings it should forward the call to your Sprint phone.
First of all this is the right place to post. Secondly you posted at 2 in the morning, it probably went straight to the second page until now.

Galaxy SIII and AT&T Voicemail question

I'm trying to set up my google visual voice mail account on my galaxy s 3. When I'm trying to synchronize my visual voicemail account with at&t I keep getting error messages. I am attaching screenshots of these error messages. I have already set up the regular voice mail account through at&t, which I orignally thought was the issue . Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I need to do in order to get this to work properly?

I was going to start off by saying "OMG do a search" but realized that when they merged the forums, not everything made it over...
So anyways, here's my post from the old forums, with details on how to fix Google Voice:
Actually, I found a workaround I had to use with the Infuse...
Yes, you have to do the call forwarding code again: *004*[Google Voice Number]#
Then in your dialer settings, select Google Voice as your voicemail service. It will give you an option box popup which asks you to hit cancel or OK. Just hit the home button to leave the menu. When you go back in, Google Voice is selected, your Google Voice # is your voicemail number, and everything is set up properly.

When you see the "Change provider?" popup, just hit the home button. Next time you go in, you'll see GVoice is configured.

I believe I have it working now as far as forwarding voicemails, however, I thought Visual Voicemail was integrated in to the dialer now? I went in to "Settings" in Google Voice and selected to display on dialer, but I haven't seen anything yet. Is this feature not compatible with AT&T and/or the Galaxy SIII?

Not sure but think you can use that AT&T messages app for visual VM
