So I'm really loving ICS and all its glory. I do have a question that I'd like to pose.
I am using Google Voice with a Galaxy Nexus on VZW, all is well in terms of making/receiving calls and text messages through the app. I did have a weird setup issue where I had to verify the phone through a phone call and not a text message. Weird, but it didn't stop it from working.
My problem is that when someone calls, with ICS you get the choice to reject the call and send a text message. The problem is that it the text message source is from the phone number on the device itself (which I dont give out), NOT my Google Voice number.
Is this a known issue or has anyone else since this? Maybe this is something we can look forward to in CM9?
I'm surprised this isn't more commonly requested. I only use my GV number for texts and don't subscribe to an SMS package, so I'd like to see this as well.

A friend left me a voice mail but his number did not show on the phone call log. This is kinda new since I always got the person's number in the log using my Exhibit 2 running gingerbread. Is this usual on ICS? It's not a good system because incase I did not know the person and they do not leave a call back number, I would not be able to get back to them. Anyone else have this issue?
Running Stock 4.0.4
Did it not show in the call log in the phone app or voicemail? I use Google Voice for voicemail and it shows everything about the contact. Its supposed to show in the phone app, it does for me.

Didn't show on the phone app. It displayed the voice mail icon on the status bar, if not I would not have known there was a call. It doesn't show the number in voice mail either which might be due to tmobile. I can get the number through the voice mail system but its a pain if I need to dial it since it its read out by the machine. Not using goggle voice facilities here.
I just upgraded my phone from GB to ICS 4.0.4. I was running Juggernaut ROM before, but I did a backup and factory reset in CWM recovery before installing 4.0.4.
Everything seems to be working well except for outgoing calls in Google Voice. I have my GV set to "Use for all calls." When I make a call, it shows the GV routing number, instead of the number I dialed. This is true for the call log too. This happens regardless of where I call from: using the keypad or from the contact list. Incoming calls are working fine. This definitely was NOT happening in 2.3.x, and I had been using it for many months without this issue. Has anyone seen this, or know if there's a fix?
Thanks!

There's an app in the Play store that will fix this problem for Android phones. Just search the Google Play store for "GV Outbound Call Log Repair"
Has anyone noticed that Google Voice no longer integrates into the stock Samsung dialer app? Basically the problem is, if I use Google Voice for an outgoing call, the number that shows up in the call log is the Google Voice proxy phone center, not the actual number I'm dialing. It also shows the proxy phone center number on the screen while the call is ongoing. On the original Note (which now runs ICS), the stock Samsung dialer seems to work as you would expect and only shows the number of the person you are actually calling.
I'm hoping there is a fix for this somewhere. I'm not sure if similar threads for the Galaxy S III that I've seen are applicable to the Note II since it is running Jellybean, and it seems like Samsung has updated the dialer app (it looks different from the ICS dialer on the original Note)
Yep, I saw that yesterday
Yes, gv on this device is def wonky but as long as it works I'm not gonna complain.
Then again I'm seeing gv is acting up on other devices as well. Is google slowly dropping support? Hasn't been updated since beginning of year I think.

Yeah I noticed it too. Here's how I'm dealing with it:
Assuming you set things correctly in the Google Voice app...
Calls - I don't call many people from my contacts anyway so every time that proxy number shows, I save that to the contact. I learned that each contact receives a specific number, so it's been working.
Texts - I downloaded an app called GV Integration. It costs $5. This app makes sure that all your texts use you google voice number going out.
Note: You may not need the integration app if you save all the proxy numbers in your contacts but I found the integration app before saving the numbers. The only annoying thing now is receiving the texts with the person's name also in the message. I hope all this gets fixed too though. This is one this Sprint has the upper hand on for every phone.
this is the same behavior on my S3 as well. not sure it's a GV thing though, cuz on my HOXL, GV stores the contact number in the log and not the bridge number.
I just refer to GV's own logs instead of the phone-dialer log. I do all texting from GV itself, and I only give out my GV number (not the native cell number) for others to text me. That way, all the texting is handled in GV, and comes for free without needing a texting plan from my carrier.
My S3 on Verizon did this initially, then started working correctly, the call log would show the number I called instead of the GV proxy number.
My AT&T Note 2 is showing the GV proxy number, which I find annoying and wrong.
Google/Samsung/AT&T: I would like my call log to show the phone number of outgoing calls when I dial with GV. Thanks
Bump
has anyone found a fix for this? This really bugs me..
same here. is google dropping GV?
This isn't an issue on the Nexus phones or the HOX. It has to have something to with the Touchwiz dialer.

Google Voice update came out today but alas the issue persists...so it must be the dialer that's the cause.

i'm using a recently released, ported JB 4.1.2 GT-N7105 ROM with the newest Google Voice app and all of my outgoing calls in the call log show the number i dialed - not the proxy/bridge number. however, i'm using the same updated GV app on my SGS3 and it still lists the proxy/bridge number in the call log. stumped.

Sounds to me like the ported JB 4.1.2 GT-N7105 rom has a different or updated dialer maybe?

Let me know if that works for you... I'm rom shopping...
The problem seems to be fixed in the recent OTA 4.1.2 update.
Is it working for anyone using Cleanrom? I'm on version 3.5 and am not seeing it. :|
I recently purchased a Z1 Compact and have discovered that when using Google Voice to dial all calls, the wrong number is stored in the call log. This makes it hard to track who I'm calling. From what I've read, this is the number that Voice calls before connecting you to your contact. The way it's worked previously on other phones is that the contact number is stored in the call log and the go-between number is called in the background. This is the proper way and what I'd like to get back to. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm on 4.4.4. If anyone has Lollipop, has this issue been fixed? The one workaround I've seen is that you should store these numbers in the contact information (as each number is specific to a contact) so that you'll see your contact in the call log, but I'd rather just fix the issue. Ultimately, I believe the issue stems from Sony modifying the stock dialer such that the Voice app doesn't hook in properly to show the contact phone number in the call log. I've seen that some Samsung phone users have the same issue. Please let me know if you have any advice.
Whatever the issue was, it has been fixed in Lollipop.
