Google Voice problem [SOLVED]

I've been using GV for a couple of months with no problems. However, last week, in an apparently misguided attempt to update to PRI 1.4, I screwed something up. I went into EPST-Data Profile-Menu-Restore to re-run the activation process on the phone. Since then, when I try to enable conditional forwarding via the *28+number code, I get a recording saying the feature is not valid or supported. Sprint says there is nothing wrong on their end, so I figure I screwed something up doing the reactivation.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
Solution in post 7

Did you try uninstalling it and then reinstall the App from the Market?
Might work.

Try updating your profile, PRL, etc.

This is somehow different than just using the link on the GV settings page? I've never had to dial some magic code.

Thanks for the speedy replies, guys. I should have listed what I've done so far to try to correct it. I've loaded up several different ROMs (CM6, Fresh,AvaLaunch, etc.) with full wipes between each one. I've got the most recent PRL (60670) and have uninstalled/reinstalled several times, all with no effect. The only thing I haven't done is try the re-activation sequence all over again. I suppose I have nothing to lose by doing so, right?

When activating the phone on the GV site, I am prompted with this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

Did you not have to do this?

Sorry for the double post, but I figured it out! Or at least I figured out a workaround. I found this on a Sprint Community forum:
There are three types of Conditional Call Forwarding you can choose from:
1. Busy – Only sends calls to an alternate number if you have two calls active at the same time (e.g. you are on a call and have a call waiting)
2. No Answer – Only sends calls to an alternate number if you don't answer your phone
3. Busy/No Answer – Will send a call to an alternate number for either condition listed above
Note: You may forward your calls to two different numbers for Conditional Call Forwarding by simply completing both steps 1 and 2 below. You can forward calls to one number when your mobile number is busy, and a different number if you do not answer.
Setup instructions and Star (*) codes for managing each type of conditional call forward are listed below:
1. Busy (*74/*740)
* Turn on just Conditional Call Forward - Busy
o Dial *74 plus the 10-digit number you are forwarding your calls to (e.g. *555-555-5555).
o Press Talk.
o You should hear tones, then the call will disconnect. Your calls will now forward to the 10- digit number you entered for when your mobile number is busy.
* Turn off Conditional Call Forward - Busy
o Dial *740
o Press Talk
o You should hear tones, then the call will disconnect. All your calls will begin ringing on your phone again.
2. No Answer (*73/*730)
* Turn on just Conditional Call Forward - No Answer
o Dial *73 plus the 10-digit number you are forwarding your calls to (e.g. *555-555-5555).
o Press Talk.
o You should hear tones, then the call will disconnect. Your calls will now forward to the 10-digit number you entered when you do not answer your phone.
* Turn off conditional Call Forward - No Answer
o Dial *730.
o Press Talk.
o You should hear tones, then the call will disconnect. All your calls will begin ringing on your phone again.
3. Busy/No Answer (*28/*38)
* Turn on BOTH Conditional Call Forward - Busy and No Answer
o Dial *28 plus the 10-digit number you are forwarding your calls to (e.g. *555-555-5555)
o Press Talk.
o You should hear tones, then the call will disconnect. Your calls will now forward to the 10-digit number you entered when your mobile number is busy or you do not answer your phone.
* Turn off Conditional Call Forward - Busy and No Answer
o Dial *38.
o Press Talk.
o You should hear tones, then the call will disconnect. All your calls will begin ringing on your phone again.

So, instead of doing *28+number to activate both types of forwarding, I did *74+number AND *73+number individually and it works.

Just out of curiosity, did you have Google Voice set to be used for all outgoing calls? Because if you did, that'd explain everything...

Very good thought! But no, I only use GV for voicemail. I've never used it to make a call.

I had a similar problem but the issue was that having call forwarding enabled on the phone actually doesn't really change anything on the phone. Once you enable it it is enables on sprints end, thus if you try to enable it again it wont let you because it is already done. Don't know if this is what was up with yours but I'm betting that was the deal. I upgraded my PRI and never had to touch anything calls still went to GV. I know you had it fixed but just thought id post this in case anybody else had the issue.

I agree with your assessment. What puzzled me was that neither the enable code (*28+number) nor the disable code (*38) were recognized as a feature. They both yielded the same "feature not available" recording. I tried them both over and over again with no luck. The *74 and *73, however, worked first time with no issues. I can only conclude it has something to do with Sprint's network in this area. I know they are currently doing upgrades in the area, so maybe it's related to that.

Is this a CM7 problem? Fixable?

So for the past month I have not been able to call my girlfriend. It rings twice and goes straight in to google voice. Nothing happens on her end. We both have rooted incredibles running CM7 stable. I cant figure this out. She gets calls from all of her other contacts with no problem and I can also call everyone else in my phone no problem. She can also call me without any issues. Only problem is me trying to call her. I figured it was an accidental blacklist problem, but can't find anything in settings. Any ideas?

Is your number somehow set to go straight to voicemail. I know contacts in sense roms have that option, not sure about cm7.

T me, that seems to be a logical explaination, but can't find anything in settings

With sense it's an option in edit contact, like ringtone and **** like that.

I remember seeing that with sense roms I've used in the past, but couldn't find anything within CM7.

Anyone else have any ideas? It's not the internal send-to-voicemail feature. That is unchecked....Can't figure this out and I don't know how much help a Verizon store would be considering both phones are rooted and running custom roms...

These may be a stupid questions, so I apologize, but is she always logged into GVoice? I've had that happen if I've logged out for some reason, usually when flashing a new ROM and not setting it up... Her GVoice number is set up to forward to her actual Verizon cell # right? You may need to log into GVoice via web browser to set that up if not already.

True, but that depends on what number they are calling. If they are calling the actual Verizon cell phone #, then no, it would ring through. When you call do you call using your GV#? I would set GV to ask every time you make a call, call without using GV and see what happens. I would test that by calling not only her GV number, but her regular Verizon # as well. Basically you'd be calling from your GV number twice, and your Verizon # twice.
Your work line is a different phone #, not a GV number correct? Testing it out will definitely tell you if it is for sure a GV issue or something else.

did anyone ever figure this out? i'm having the same issue over the past few days, but my GF has an iphone. never had the problem before flashing cm7...but then again i didn't have this issue before a few days ago and i've been running cm7 for a little over a week now...

Wifi calling

This probably has been asked many times, but I haven't yet found answers for wifi calling for canadians. I recently purchased the galaxy nexus and it'll be shipped to me soon and I plan to have a cheap plan.
Anyway, I couldnt find any info about wifi calling other than some vague explanation of google voice and sip calling that isn't available in canada without some fiddling. Is it possible to have the same wifi number as the primary number for incoming calls when wifi is available? I know on the nexus s when you want to make calls, you can either call through sip or cell provider, but not sure how that'll work for incoming calls in canada.
Cheers!

Hey Canadian here!
I make and receive free calls over wifi and 4g (which uses my data) not minutes all day long in Canada .
Here how it worked out for me...
Brother works in Detroit and signed me up for a Google number using my account(got the number in minutes).
Bought the app "groove ip".
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Basically... Groove IP ties your google number to your phone. While the app is running you can call out AND receive calls with that number. Works over wifi and 4g.
When your talking over 4G it doesn't use up your minutes but rather from your data plan because your communicating with voip(brilliant).
I can also receive calls to by change settings in my Google voice account.
I signed with virgin and it feels good to stick it to them.
If anyone needs a google number i can help. Just pm me
Been meaning to make a post about this. Will make one detailed in a few days

I use this too, so I only have to pay $30 a month

Excellent info above, really appreciate the help!
Setting up GV seems just a matter of getting up a proxy, but now the question is that can the GV number be tied to say, the primary number of your provider? I know this seems extremely unlikely, but it seems like a bit of a hassle to call friends and they see some US number on top of the primary number. Also, if I were to receive calls through Groove ip (by GV), that would mean the caller would incur long distance charging to call to the US (GV).
I guess free is always what its worth (but free calls wooo!)

Your GV number can be tied to another number, I have my Galaxy Nexus ring when someone calls my GV number

I hope that works for us canadians. Although it won't be much useful for me personally, since people wouldnt want to dial a US number with the rates attached just to call unless it's unlimited to the CA/US.
Now I'm thinking that GV and Groove Ip is one method, but how will skype work? I wouldnt mind paying the $10 prepaid for skype's low rate, but I have no idea if Skype will work like GV and Groove IP.

I'm using Nettalk in Canada

You can use the ICS SIP VOIP client built into the phone dialer application.
Dialer -> Settings -> Internet Calling (Accounts) -> SIP Accounts -> Add account
I personally use Sipgate.com as my SIP provider. I could use Groove IP with my Google Voice account, but this gives me a 2nd option for VOIP.
The great thing about it is it integrates into the phone app, so history, dialing, ring tone settings, contacts, noise cancellation all work as expected. I haven't tried it but I suppose bluetooth works with SIP as well.

Can anyone compare the call quality of SIP vs grooveIP?

Unfortunately I dont think sipgate is available in Canada. I looked up on voip ms, looks extremely complicated and I'm not sure if that is even compatible with the ICS SIP features.

[SOLVED] Google Voice - Setting it up as the default voicemail service.

First of all, here's the ROM I'm running: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1884493
I hate having the check my voicemail calling, so I loved that Google Voice would intercept it and I was able to just play it. (Sort of like the iPhone)
You guys know how it works.
Anyway, I've set it up as the default Voicemail service, but it still goes through to T-Mobile or whatever.
So, my question is.. how can I get Google Voice to work how it's suppose to?

How is it better than tmo visual voicemail?

Never said it was, but it comes down to personal preference.
I love me some Google.

I'm just trying to understand the difference in the two services that lead to your preference. I'm a curious person hah. I thought maybe you didn't have visual voicemail set up since you made the iPhone comparison.

Ah, nah.. I've tested the T-Mobile VM, not sure why I prefer the Google Voice, it doesn't look all T-Mobile bloated, I guess. >.<
Anyway, I got it working! Guess setting it up on the Galaxy S3 with TouchWhiz or whatnot doesn't update the forwarding numbers.
So, doing it online did the trick for me!

It used to say 'Activate GoogleVoicemail on this device,' it gave me a number to dial on my Dialer, and bam! Worked.
I'll mark this as resolved, ahah.

I haven't used gv too much but the few times I did the full site always resolved the problem lol.

I'm using Gvoice for VM bcz I can't bring my phone into work. When someone leaves me a VM, I can listen to it online.
That said, it was a multistep process to get it to work. Had to sign in to Gvoice on the web, then go to prefs, make sure my phone was added, then select Gvoice to do VM for that phone. It then gave me a code I ad to type into my phone to actually activate it.
hope that helps....

You can also call TMo and have them do the following:
1) Turn of VM
2) set default VM number to GV number.

Took two tries, but got my GVM working again. Was working fine ... then all of a sudden my regular VM and VVM kicked in and GVM would not take voice mail any longer. Was driving me nuts. Thanks for the info.

I just called them up and told them I wanted to use google voice as my voicemail and wanted to disable tmobile's voicemail altogether. They walked me through to the actual voicemail settings which obviously didn't work and then he asked me if he wanted me to disable the visual voicemail. I said yes, and from that point forward it started working with and without wifi calling. I was able to select Google Voice as the voicemail service and it actually showed up in the list.

If all else fails
I am on CM10 nightly and I couldn't get this working using the install or code from the voice website and since my employer controls my tmo account, I am limited in what I can get from TMO. I did figure out a way to get it working
Steps -
phone app ->menu-> call settings -> call forwarding
I sent all of these forward options except for "Always" to my google voice number. This seems to be working now.

In the dialer type *004*+1gvoicenumber# that should set everything up

Question Phone call on watch

I was sitting around and my wrist starting buzzing and vibrating a lot. It was an unfamiliar sensation. I looked at it and it was a phone call, I THINK. I did not recognize the number and did not answer it. The issue is that I did not receive any calls on my associated Pixel 6 Pro phone. Since that is the phone/number associated with the watch wouldn't the phone have received the call at the same time? Phone History shows no calls. Am I missing something? Does the watch have its own phone number? Service through Google Fi.
edited to add: I just visited Fi's site. There was no phone call last night according to their records. Very ODD
And here's a screenshot

Because your phone has spam filter turned on white your watch doesn't have this feature

Under settings > notifications > mute notifications there after these settings, might be worth checking them!

Thanks for the reply. But really what I'm trying to figure out is how the watch got the call but the phone it is associated with did not get that call. And there is no evidence that the phone was ever part of that particular call.
Spam filter might be the reason. I don't think that the watch has a separate phone number.

If it has an eSim it will be a different phone number that is linked to your mobile phone number.

I don't know that the watch contains but presume esim. I don't think I have a sim card in the Pixel 6 Pro. So it is probably an esim in there.
I just turned off the phone and used the watch to call my land line. The number that shows up on caller-id is my cell phone number and not a separate number for the watch. Google Fi suggests that the watch will share the number and data with the phone it is associated with.
So spam filter that might be on the phone but not the watch might be the reason. Although, again, from what I can tell, the Oregon number that called seemed like an ordinary person (guy answered and just said "hello, hello" as I hung up) so no reason it would be in a spam listing but maybe it is spam.
I am more curious about the process which is why I posed the question. This is my first smart watch with LTE.
