[Q] Galaxy Note II and Google Voice - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently using Google voice for all my calls on the Galaxy Note 2. Whenever I make or receive a voice call via my GV number, my phone goes to deep sleep and I am unable to wake it up by using the home/power buttons, so I can hang-up the call. The only way for it to wake-up is for the other person to hang-up 1st...Pretty annoying.
When a call is via my NON-verizon number, this does not occur. Any suggestions?

I have to US Cellular Galaxy Note 2 and I do not have this problem when using Google Voice to make calls.

I think it does but it changes my number when I make the call from my cell number to the Google Voice number. I never give out my actual cell phone number I always use my GV number because I can use it on multiple devices.

GV Sprint Integration

I am new to sprint. I was wondering if anyone could clear up some confusion. If I use option 2 and use google voice as my sprint number, do I forever loose that number?
In other words, if I ever switch to another carrier, will my google voice number not come with me?

If you are talking about the option on the app itself to use either your Sprint number or GV no you will not lose your GV number.

I an taking about the option on the website for the special sprint integration.

In theory, the GV number belongs to you. Sprint just has a higher level of integration with GV. So I wouldn't worry about it. I'm using GV on my phone without any issues. I can edit its functionality through the menu on the web page.
Hope that helped.

Voicemails not going to Google Voice ?

I need help please. I always use Google Voice just for my voicemails only. Just got my Nexus last night, set it up GV like I always do.
Missed a clients call this morning, and checked Google Voice and nothing, but there is a recorder icon in the notification bar, that would take me into some dial up phone voicemail ? Who the **** uses that in the 21st century.
Anyways, what's the deal here ?
Thank you.

follow this to make sure your number is correctly forwarding to your GV voicemail:

Scroll down to the carrier number forwarding
Go into dialer, settings and set your voice mail to Google voice.

Thanks, tried that but some error came up, said my carrier does not support it ? That's not right.
I did just switch from Sprint to Verizon last night, could there be an issue there ?

yes, its not forwarding to GV, try the link I posted above
So per Google's web page, it shows Verizon as not working normally, until you dial *71 or something with your Google voice # ? I have no idea what my Google # is ?

Log in to voice.google.com and see your number. Or go into the Google Voice app and go to Settings. It will have an entry "My Google Voice Number" that lists your number.

Yes, you have to hook your number onto Google Voice via the website. It will usually entail your GV number calling your actual number and you pressing two buttons on the phone and then it will be connected.. Always how it's been on Verizon

Thanks for the help, I still had it set to Sprint as my carrier in the settings webpage, had to change that, and that dial a special #. It should setup now ?

[Q] Google Voice in India

First of all, Google Voice is not a standalone VOIP service. It is a call management and forwarding service/feature. It is not like standalone VOIP services like Skype or Vonage or Net2Phone etc.
In India, if you connect your Sprint S3 to a WiFi network, the Google Voice app will notify you of missed calls, voicemails, let you send and receive SMS etc.
If you use a app like GrooveIP you could use ur google voice with it and not pay any international fees if your connected to wifi..

I have a question about using voip apps while in India.
I use SparePhone to make calls over wifi on my DroidX. If I take it to India, would I be able to receive calls placed to my Google number?
Has anyone experienced any problems while placing calls this way from India to USA?
I'm not sure if I should just get a burner while I'm there - just ten days.
Thanks y'all!

Again...if you're on wifi and using like groove ip and you number is tied to google voice, it will work just fine.

Switching from Google voice

I recently switched from Google voice to sprint visual voicemail and I cannot get sprint voicemail to work . I disabled voice from the PC and when I try to use sprints all I get is a busy signal . I called sprint and they couldn't figure it out . any help would be appreciated. I'm running TW stock odex

with changing from GV to Sprint VVm you have to go to Google voice under a PC and disable Google voice on your phone.
The enter *730 and end no answer call forwarding. That should make all work correctly.

Call Sprint support and they will deactivate Google Voice in your account for you.
Since Sprint partner with Google and does the integration on the voice mail, the only way to deactivate it's thru them. Good luck! :thumbup:

OMG, please at least be 100% sure you're giving the right advise. Calling Sprint is not the "only way" to deactivate GV Mail. I've done it a zillion times via the settings page on the GV website.
O.P, did you try * 38 ?
If you call into care or go into a store simply request that they remove the GVOICE soc code from your account. This will resolve the issue with no waiting. While it is true that you can do it from google.com, there is often a long wait. Doing it through sprint is instant.

Unable to get Google voice to work

I've used Google voice for years, but last week I accidentally set up the AT&T voicemail password and since then I can't get Google voice to take over again.
Would I need to contact AT&T about disabling their voicemail service?

Thanks a bunch! I had the same problem and this fixed it right up.
Alternatively (although not as easy), you can go into the Call settings, Additional settings, and then the Call forwarding settings and set up the Google Voice number there.

I tried your method yesterday but whenever I'd call myself from another number, I'd hear a short message n the call would end... Idk if this is the app, the service or at&t at fault
