[Q] Google Voice and call log?

Both my T989 (Galaxy II) and T999 (Galaxy III) are setup to use google voice for all calls.
On my T989 the call logs showed the numbers of the contacts I dialed in the call log and I believe when I was dialing out.
On the T999 the call logs show the google voice number that bridges the call, not the callers phone number and shows the same when dialing out.
I can't seem to figure out how to fix this so the contact's name/number is shown in the call logs rather than the number the phone dialed to connect the call.
Anyone had and fixed this issue?
Thanks!

I'm experiencing the same issue with outbound google voice calls and the stock dialer logs.

Thanks. It's nice to know I'm not the only one having this problem.

by any chance is this working as expected for anyone? hard to believe no one else has noticed and commented.
seeing the random outbound number in the dialer's call log is frustrating.

Same issue here on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S III

Same here.

having the same problem as well on my SGS 3... works as expected on my HTC 1XL. seems you can redial the number you intended to dial from the call log.

same problems on my I747 (AT&T S3). Very annoying.

Ditto. Very frustrating. It seems to my limited brain that it might be the phone apk taking it's data from a network source rather than the phone's dialer. I'm contemplating trying a different model's phone.apk, but I really need my phone to work, and I haven't flashed a ROM yet on this one.

No more comments since, have you guys figured out how to fix this. If yes, kindly post the solution.
This is ridiculous, I am seriously considering taking this (otherwise a fine) phone back to store.
This bug is a deal breaker for me. Good phone/hardware/software design should follow standards.

Seriously, this is absolutely a huge annoyance. Completely a deal breaker. I am going to take this phone back if this can't be fixed.
I refuse to deal with this. I need GV to work as intended. I need to have this ANDROID phone behave like an android phone. If I wanted a phone controlled by the manufacturer, I would buy the crap iPhone.
Really, either Samsung fixes this issue within this week, or this phone is going back.

Has anyone found a dialer that will work. I tried about 5 and still the same issue.

I have the same problem with GV and Galaxy S3.

Can you explain the problem better. I think my iPad shows the random google number too. If that's what you're talking about.

When your phone is set to use GV when dialing then GV does use some (random?) number (say you dial 202-123-1234 GV might show dialing 617-444-3333) but then in the Log you would see the number you dialed (202-123-1234) not the num that GV used (617-444-3333). This is how it works in other phones that I have used. Bug is with the Galaxy S3 that show the GV number in the log. If you click on the GV num that appears in the log you will be connected correctly, but it's beyond annoying to not be able to see/find numbers/people (people cause the contacts are associated with the real number, not the one that GV uses).

I'm getting there, I think lol.
Are you dialing out using the phone app? Or gv app? Can you make the call/see it correctly if you dial out through the web browser?
And what you're saying is that the call log shows the google service number not what was dialed.
In my stock phone app my call log shows the number of a person who called my gv number and was forwarded to me. Do incomming calls display correctly?

I am dialing out using the Phone app.
When you say the "call see it" I figure you mean the Log. I don't know how to dial using Voice (GV on the phone) as I don't see a dial pad there as I do on my desktop computer.
>>And what you're saying is that the call log shows the google service number not what was dialed.
EXACTLY

Install google chrome and navigate to the voice site. I don't really use gv anymore but it could interest you. I found using it through the web always gave a better experience because it's more robust.
In the phone app is it just outgoing that's messed up or incoming too? I didn't even know the stock dialer could be used for gv

going to the website, and using the call back, it works fine - but that defeats the whole beauty of being able to use the phone dialer and transparently it uses GV (this might be new to Android v 4). The setting for this is in Voice (android app for GV) under settings, Making calls. For me the reason I want to use GV for all outgoing calls is so that ppl know me by the GV number since my SIM changes often and if they get the SIM number they tend to save it, later trying to reach me at this number and finding it's no longer in use....

this is an issue with the Touch Wiz ROM and Google Voice.. if i use a stock TouchWiz ROM and GV, and call a contact, then the service number is in the call log. when i use the CM10 ROM and, i call a contact, the call log lists contact phone number. either way, i'm disappointed that Samsung and/or Google haven't addressed this issue. t

HELP: Call Settings for Voicemail Non-existing - Can't setup GV or Youmail!!

Hi all, I'm completely new to Android and SG2 but I've spent the past week messing with it. I've got it rooted and everything already.
I'm having one MAJOR problem and can't seem to find a fix. I've read and searched through the forum exhaustively but haven't seen any mention of it. Forgive me if this is a complete Noob question.
So, I'm trying to use Google Voice Lite (i.e. NOT the full integration.) so that I can have that as my default voicemail rather than Sprint. I do NOT want to use Sprint Visual Voicemail but that seems like the default installed program. The problem it seems like though is that Sprint VVM as default affects the "Call Settings" menu. When I go through the Google Voice setup process, at the screen where I press "configure" to continue, the following screen takes me to Call settings and stops. Now the problem is that the Call Settings screen does NOT seem to show ALL the call settings menu items that would allow me to choose which voicemail option (Carrier or GV or something else) I want. And the "voicemail settings" at the bottom is for the default Sprint VVM.
I'm attaching several pics to show what I'm seeing and also 1 pic that shows what the "call settings" screen should look like.
So how do I get around this? How do I see the rest of the call settings menu items? I can't use/setup Google Voice voicemail or Youmail with out it. PLEASE PLEASE Help. Would greatly appreciate any thoughts or feedback. Thanks
As a reference point, I'm using Caulkin E4GT EL29 GB 3.0 Rom if that helps

There's very few gv settings you can set from the phone. Use the website. It looks like you have everything set properly on the phone. Don't forget to turn off call screening.

Yeah I seem to have everything correct and I have gone thru the GV website and everything there is fine. The problem is that the "Call Settings" screen on my phone is not showing the correct options to select whether I want to use my carrier vm system or something else. Basically my screenshot 1 or 2 should look like screenshot 4. Otherwise, I can't even complete GV setup on my phone

I usually don't get that screen either. Try dialing into your voicemail by long pressing 1 and see if it says Google or sprint to see if it actually is taking it
Make sure you have authorized your number on googles website. It should call your phone and ask you to enter a pin number

On the setup VM screen did you dial the number? It changes the default call forwarding number from the sprint vvm number to your Google voice number.

I have dialing the voicemail manually and its still set to Sprint voicemail. And yeah I have my mobile # authorized on GV website. I've been using GV for a while on my previous phone...didn't have an Android phone so couldn't use the app. Its just now that I got the GS2 that when I try to setup through the GV app, I'm having problem. It seems like something is making the Call settings menu not show everything. Is there a way to edit it? Where would the files be located?
@slvrap1 - Yes, I dialed the number given on the GV app set (as seen in the pic). It rings, answers briefly and then hangs up. I press the back button to get out of the dialer, press the "configure" button to continue but when I get to the call settings menu, I don't have the options to actually change voicemail option ("carrier" or other) as I should b able to. I'm just completely stumped on this. It seems like I'm doing everything correct both on the phone side and GV website...but just that one settings page that is the problem

There isn't a menu or option on the phone itself that will say you are using sprint or Google voicemail. Sounds to me like your getting hung up on looking for some kind of visual confirmation. If it was set up prior to getting the s2 on the same telephone number then everything should still be intact.

During the setup if you didn't hear a error message when it dialed *28xxxxxxxxx, the x's being your Google voice number its complete. Did you try leaving yourself a VM?

Hey @slvrap1, so I FINALLY got it working. I had done all those things you had mentioned but you're right, I was stuck expecting a visual confirmation because in the setup guide and everywhere else I was looking, my call settings menu options on my phone were different and didn't match what everyone was saying. I had tried calling myself multiple times last night and it would just ring ring ring ring endlessly but never hit voicemail. So I basically just gave up for the night and then today decided to try calling myself again and BAM, the Google Voicemail greeting came on. For whatever reason I guess it took a while for it to take effect.
And Basically what it appears is that there is a bug on my ROM or something that prevents the "call settings" menu options to display the proper option but I guess in the end, it didn't really matter whether I had those call settings options available on my phone, as long as I dialed the *28 to activate.
Thanks a lot for all your help and suggestions. Guess there's a lot of quirks about Android I need to learn esp coming from iOS
This probably is obviously not the write forum for that but as familiarize myself w/the system, any list of apps you would recommend?

Oh and FYI, when I try to do a long 1 press on my phone, it still takes me to my Sprint voicemail account. Not sure that really means anything

[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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Isn't having two phones to one number the whole reason for Google voice?

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 Call Selection Loads REALLY Slow - Thoughts?

I use my google voice number as my work number, and then my carrier number is my personal. I check the option to select which number to call out with each time I make a call. When I click on anumber to call, it takes a good 3-5 seconds before the menu to "Call with Google Voice" or "Call Without Google Voice" options come up. On my previous phone (S4) it was "slow", but only a brief pause, now it feels like the thing freezes for a moment. This seems to be the only hiccup I have seen the phone do so far - any thoughts?

Yup. Takes ages to bring up that selection menu.
Additionally, I can't seem to get Google Voice to be my voicemail option either. :/

You can try the Google voice voip integration with hangouts. That's what I do for my business. Works well with enough.

Exactly, I hit the call button and 10 seconds later the selection menu pops up. Haven't tried VM yet.

I will try the integration bit probably next week. I made a mess of it last time and turned it off - the big thing being that my google account is my personal account, and I use hangouts for all my personal sms/chat, but the GV phone number is my work mobile number. Trying to mix the two identities but also keep them separate.

I just went through the set up process on the google voice website. Deleted all my numbers and added just the one I use now. Now, if only someone would actually call me.

Mine takes forever to come up too. Wishing there's a solution, like phones don't call anymore.

I use GV for work as well. Here is how I do it - use the Hangout dialer to make work calls and standard dialer for personal calls. Works well, except that Hangout dialer lags quite a bit when loading contacts. It also lacks call duration for recent calls. Google just sux nowadays - keep taking features and options away. It was so nice when GrooveIP worked. Sigh...
