My GF has an AT&T GS3, and is having fits answering calls thru Google Voice. When a call comes in, the phone says the call is from an unknown number and makes her open keyboard and choose to accept the call, and often calls get missed. My I-9300 does not do this, so I figure it is something AT&T has tweaked on phone.
Has anyone else had ths problem? I have looked through everything, and can't find a way to remove the additional step in answering calls.
Thanks!

Log in to Google voice on a pc. In options, uncheck the call screen option. Fixed.

Hi Guys.
Not sure if this is the right section to post under, so apology in advance if its wrong.
I was wondering if i could make my verizon number a google voice number. Like, release the number from verizon and get google to put it under my google voice account. That would mean that all my current contacts would become google voice contacts. The main advantage for me of this, is that i'd get missed call alerts even when i am in an area without cell phgone reception (ie work) through wifi.
Any advice appreciated.
if you use wifi from your work you shouldn't be missing any calls. If you are you should return the phone....

This is absolutely FALSE. cell reception has absolutely NOTHING to do with WiFi

You can assign your Verizon number as the one that google voice forwards the call to; but dont think you can re-assign your VZW number to google voice.
Also, you can set your vzw number to forward to Google voice for voicemail. Then, whenever someone calls and gets to your voicemail.. you should receive the missed call notification.
When you're phone doesn't have signal, the call should go to Google voicemail immediately and count as a missed call.

This is the explanation of how wifi will help.. The phone doesn't ring, You don't get to answer the call, but wifi lets you know you have a missed call our new voicemail.

***** FIXED ***** CALLED AT&T TO RESET VOICEMAIL ***** PLEASE REMOVE THREAD *****
I am using a stock GSM GNex, unrooted, and I noticed, when I receive calls, the caller does not go to voicemail and when I attempt to check voicemail, I am told that I do not have a voicemail box. This is a new problem, because before, I had voicemail and I set it up using AT&T. When I long press the number "1" on the dial pad I get a recording that says to enter the phone number of the party you are trying to reach. I enter my phone number and it says that the number is not listed. I can receive and make calls to anyone no problem, but voicemail all of a sudden stopped working. I went into the phone settings and checked the phone number listed as my voicemail number, it is not the same as my regular phone number, so I changed it to my number and I was getting a busy signal when I tried to check my voicemail after that. Any ideas??? I don't think calling AT&T will do me any good as they think I am using a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. Please help, I need to get voicemails if I don't get to the phone in time!!
Thanks
I'm not sure how to fix your problem but, have you tried google voice as your voicemail client? Maybe you can use that instead.
To be honest I want to fix the issue and I don't want to use Google Voice. When I did a search before posting this I read a lot of people were using that service, but I want to get the real problem fixed. Thanks though.
Does anyone think the problem could be because I have a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket as my main phone on my plan, and that phone uses visual voicemail? And somehow now the phone won't activate voicemail because of that? When I dial my number and call myself, I get a busy tone.
1) Your VM number is either incorrectly programmed into the phone, or whoever set up your account didn't provision you with the VM feature. Call your carrier, they can verify with you whether your phone is correct or it's their system. No one on XDA can't help you with a shortcut.
2) Get Google Voice. Carrier VM systems are utter crap by comparison. That is the "real" solution to your "real problem".
The voicemail number is the same as it was when I set it up the first time. BTW, using Google Voice is not the "real" solution to my "real problem". If you don't know the answer to the question or you think no one else here will, you don't have to emphasize your love of Google Voice, I just don't want to use it so I am trying to figure out how to fix it. Thank you.
Oh, and maybe you should change your user name if you hate AT&T so much.
Hi all, sorry for another question so soon. Anyway, with my old rooted re-rommed Evo 4 I was able to integrate with Google Voice and actually send text messages using Google Voice on the PC or on my tablet. I seem to have been able to get Google Voice "integrated" on the Optimus G, but I don't have the ability to send text messages from PC or tablet. Does anyone know anything at all about this? Any ideas? Thanks!
Aaron
Not sure why you are having that problem. My Google voice is working right. I was just on the PC yesterday sending texts.

Might have to remove your phone from Google voice and re add it?
I've had issues with Goggle Voice also that once I Integrate my sprint number with google voice, anybody that tries to calls me gets a busy signal. Don't even know how to fix this.
I've also had problems with google voice, whenever someone calls me and I answer, it goes straight to voicemail and I can even hear google voice talking.

Try uninstalling the GV app in the Play store then download it again. It should bring you through the settings again to confirm carrier integration. If that doesn't work go to voice.google.com on the computer, click the little gear on the top right, click settings and check the phone settings. You should see the little sprint logo next to your phone number.

This is not a "problem" but a feature... They call it call screening. Press 1 to accept the call, even after the person has started leaving a message. I turned off this feature. Go to voice.google.com on the computer, click the little gear on the top right, click settings, then click the tab for "Calls". Call screening is the first option, turn it off.
I only know all this because I have used GV since it first came out, then integrated immediately when Sprint made it an option.
Thanks all for the replies. I did as suggested and uninstalled google voice then reinstalled. It still wouldn't let me send texts from PC or tablet, but I guess I wasn't patient enough, because a short while later those features became available. So I guess for whatever reason there was a delay but I'm in business now.

I think there might also have been a slow-down on GV's end the past couple of days; I just received a voicemail from last night and a text from earlier this AM, so there might've been some general strangeness afoot as well.
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.

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

I have Google Voice set to make calls. The settings are
Making Calls
Ask every time I make a call.
When I make a call, instead of getting a pop-up asking me if I want to use Voice to make the call, the call is started and I can hear the call ringing, but under the dialer screen, is the Voice pop-up.
If I immediately hang up the call, then switch to the Voice pop-up, I can make the call with Voice.
That isn't how it should work. When you make the call, the pop-up should appear but no call should happen until you select use voice or phone. That is the way it works on a S3 with 4.4.2.
Any suggestions?

I can get it to work it just isn't clean.
What is not working for you?
Same here no matter if I choose Google voice to dial and always ask, it always call from my cell carrier not thru my Google voice number.
On the 2.18 update, google hangouts dialer doesn't work. It dials 0 instead of 1 so it redirects to a different country.
