Hey everyone, I was flashing a new rom for my friends note 2. I installed google voice and accidentally configured GV with Sprint. Now every time someone sends her a text to her Sprint numb3r, it's goes to her default sms app but it displays a google number as the sender. Same with the GV app. All texts go to GV app and her default sms app.
I reflashed her phone and bypassed configure with Sprint but I'm still getting those GV sms forwards. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm thinking maybe it might take a few hours for google to update the new settings?
Fixed...:laugh: I'm guessing it took google an hr to update the GV settings. Phewww

I'm trying to enable Google Voice to be used for voicemail on my phone.. but I'm having lots of issues.
I'm running the CM6 Nightly (update every day or two) and have no Sprint apps left on the phone. I Installed/updated the Google Voice app on my phone, activated my Voice account for voicemail online, and called the number that it told me to call.
I am getting an error "Unfortunately your network carrier is currently not supported..." when trying to configure my voicemail for Google Voice.
Not sure where to go from here.
At the moment the only way I can access my email is by calling my number the old fashioned way.. I also get like 4 text notifications for every voicemail. I'm not sure why I get so many?
Thanks for any help.
You can ignore that setting. All it's really telling you is that GVoice can't automatically change your voicemail settings without calling a special number. As for the texts, go to your GVoice page on a computer, Settings, Voicemail, and un-check the Voicemail Notification texts.
Hey guys. Just did the whole Google Voice deal where my Sprint number becomes my Google number. All I want to use GV for is voicemail, that's it. I can either get 2 texts (GV and my regular text messaging) or texts on my regular messaging app but it would disable all notifications including voicemail (which I want only voicemail to appear).
How do I get rid of the texting feature? I only want to be notified by GV for voicemail and notified by my texting app for my texts.
BTW, I'm running the GV app as well.
unfortunately GV wont let you change the type of phone ( mobile, home, work, etc.). you have to delete your real number then add a new number and set it as a non mobile number. ( use the tab at the bottom right of the GV screen that says upgrade ) you can then choose a new GV number and stop the texts from GV
I'm going to Afghanistan on saturday the 4th and i'm trying to get my phone setup for calls and txt's while overseas. The call part is done and now just trying to get my txts to work right.
I have sprint, so my GV number is the same as my sprint number. In GV notification settings, there's 2 options for receiving txts. (see attached screen shots)
1. Only via the google voice app
2. Also via the messaging app
When #2 is selected it grays out the GV text notification so GV doesn't show a txt notification in the status bar.
I would assume that when #2 is selected any txt sent to my number should appear in my regular messaging app, right? But it doesn't, it only appears in the GV app regardless if #1 or #2 are selected.
Has anyone else on sprint ran into this issue or know how to fix it? I'd really like to use my APW widget for txt's instead of the GV app.
Thanks!
Id just uninstall the GV app, although I do use google voice (online as a backup) the app is horrible. Just make sure texting is sent/fowarded to your phone after you uninstall.

I "thought" I needed the GV app to use GrooveIP.. I just froze the GV app and I was still able to make Wifi calls via GrooveIP.
**Edit #1: When I uninstall google voice I can't get a text on my phone at all now. It shows up in my google voice inbox using the web browser but never gets forwarded to my phone like it's supposed to in the settings.
See attached pic for a screen shot of the google voice settings.
**Edit #2: SMS appear in the GV inbox but MMS appear in the messaging app with Airplane mode OFF and Wifi ON. If I turn Airplane mode ON and Wifi ON I can only receive sms in the GV app but no MMS at all.
I think I see what's going on here, correct me if i'm wrong.
By choosing to receive text messages via the messaging app in the GV app settings, it also checks the "Receive text messages on this phone" option on the GV website.
When I choose the first option in the GV app to receive text messages via the GV app, it syncs with the GV website and un-checks the "Receive text messages on this phone" option.
There for, because my Sprint number AND my google voice number are in fact the SAME number, it won't forward anything to my messaging app because there's not a 2nd number to forward it to.
Does that sound accurate?
I ported my phone number into Google Voice. And it seems any text message sent to that number do not reach my phone. But I do get phone calls to that number.
I also get text message if it's sent to my phone's real number.
Not sure why texts aren't working with Google Voice. Is it because I'm on T-Mobile's Monthly 4G plan?
You're checking the Google Voice app, right? And you have the settings in the Google Voice app to have background sync, and notify you of new messages?
if you want the GV messages to show up in your regular Messaging app, then you have to configure that in the Google Voice app. Weird thing being it'll apply a seemingly random number for each contact when it "forwards" from Google Voice app to the Messaging app. If I were you I'd just use the GV App to save yourself some troubles.
Another level of troubleshooting is to simply go to www.voice.google.com and make sure your settings are correct, and you can check the messages in there to see if your GV# is receiving them.
Looks like the problem is on Microsoft's end...
I was trying to unlock my MSN Live account (to play with Skydrive) and it was asking me to send a verification code to a cell number (guess email isn't good enough anymore). But never got the code, tried several times. Then tried my phone's cell number instead and that worked.
Google Voice seemed to be setup just fine. So I tried a test message from voice.google.com to my Google voice number, that was successful. Then I realized I did get some texts a couple days ago from a friend on my Google Voice number.
So text is working on my Google Voice. But for some reason Microsoft appears to not be sending or accepting Google Voice numbers when sending it's verification emails. Weird.
This would be something on Microsoft's end. I use Google Voice for all my texts (because I used to have multiple phones and this made it a lot easier). But Facebook's verification texts also don't support Google Voice numbers.

I believe this is because Google voice can not accept short codes. At least I know this is the case for sending SMS from GV

Did you port your phone only a couple days ago? You need to wait 3 days minimum before texts start working. That's what happened to me - I freaked out for a while. Although if you want to see if _something_ works, you can ask another google voice member to text you. Intra-google voice texts will work. It's just when it comes from outside networks, it'll get lost. Sending texts out should work though.
If I send a text message from the default messaging app, I get a "Text Message Not Sent" message, and if someone sends me a message, instead of showing up with their name, it has a number I don't recognize, but their name will be appended to the message. I don't have these issues if I use Google Voice.
I KNOW it has something to do with GV settings, but I've tried everything I can think of to reset it, including clear data on both apps, uninstall and reinstall of GV. I even tried changing radios. I really do NOT want to do a factory reset. I suppose I can use the rather anemic GV app for texts, but if someone texts my "real" phone number, I think I won't get notified of it.
Is there some setting I'm missing, or some third-party app that can unify texting across both numbers?
Wait now... So first off, when someone texts you, they're sending it to your Google Voice number?
And when you send texts out, which number are you trying to use?
The first part of troubleshooting here is to go into Google Voice settings and tell it to not receive texts via the Messaging app. If you're going to be using only your GV # for SMS, just use the Google Voice app. Don't have it forward to your Messaging app it just causes problems (like random #'s as you've seen).
It keeps things simple. When you get an SMS to your Messaging app, you know it was sent to your carrier #. You reply and it comes from your carrier #.
When you get an SMS in your GV app, you know it came to your GV # and when you reply it comes from your GV #.
This really is the simplest way to manage it if you want to be able to use both your carrier # and the GV #.
Regardless, GV should never get in the way and prevent you from sending texts from the Messaging app.
The problem is that it doesn't matter what I have the GV app set to. I still can't send texts from my messaging app. Even if i uninstall GV, i still can't send texts from my messaging app.

I think you're having a separate issue. In all of my time using Google Voice in different configurations there's nothing that has stopped my stock Messaging app from sending and receiving SMS to my carrier #.
