So facebook already came preinstalled with his phone- sigh
For some reason I can not send any voice messages inside facebook though. It just doesn't work. I can try to record something but nothing will show up and be send.
In FACT if I try to record audio using the preinstalled facebook app it will trigger a bug. I won't be able to send voice messages through whatsapp or use OK google or anything where you can use your voice. WHAT IS THIS and what can I do about this? thanks

[Q] SMS messages are only going to Google Voice, and bypassing "Messages." Why?
I have my Google Voice integrated with my Sprint phone number. Normally, if somebody texts me, it shows up in Google Voice, Messages, Handcent, and whatever other messaging app I have installed. I just configure the notifications as I like them, so that I'm only notified by 1.
Ever since I installed Synergy, incoming messages only go to my google voice app. They don't show up in "messages."
If I send a message from "messages," then the outgoing message also shows up in google voice. But any reply I receive will also only show up in google voice. It's like only google voice works for incoming messages now.
This is still true if I uninstall google voice from my phone. I can only send. Not receive.
Please, someone out there give me some advice. I'd rather use the native app and just use GV for my desktop.
Uninstall Google voice.
Then redownload it.
When you run it for first time, br sure to skip the sprint integration at the very beginning. Now you should be back to normal

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 #.
One of the first things I tried to do with Jellybean was to send a text message by saying "send text to contact_name message message_text." Doing this prompts me to select either sms or google voice. Since I blocked SMS on my number and rely on google voice, I tried that. The little block that showed the contact and the message goes away and leaves a big empty space afterward, and below that regular google web search results are shown below it. If I chose to send it via normal SMS it goes through, then I get a notification that SMS messages are blocked for this number.
Can anyone successfully send google voice sms messages using voice commands??

It's obvious that Google Voice is not updated to work with Jelly Bean yet. I'm sure they will update it soon! I too am waiting for this!!
I can confirm the same behavior. Annoying.
When ever I get a text to my Google voice number (I use native Google messaging app) from someone I know, I can see their name but number has changed. Its kinda annoying because it starts a new chat thread. I end up adding that "weird" number to my contacts to make it work properly. Has anyone been able to figure this out or adding server number to contacts is the only way to make it work?
There is no way around this issue, turn off text from Google voice and just text from the voice app.
When using the standard Messaging app and not the Google Voice app, messages are sent by proxy via a "Google Voice Access Number". The GVA number is that weird number you're seeing. You can call that number to connect to your friend's number, and they will see your GV number on the caller ID. As far as I know that access number is semi-permanent... so you can add it to your address book. It may change after several months at which point the call just won't go through.
To avoid this, disable "Receive text messages on this phone" under the Google Voice settings page from your browser and use the Google Voice app.
I just use the GV SMS Integration app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mdrtools.apps.gvintegration&hl=en
Works flawlessly. No crazy numbers or anything. I just see their names as if I wasn't using Google Voice.
Quick trick

One thing i do to avoid this problem is save the google voice port number to my contacts i usually text the google voice created number or initiate the text via google voice app to avoid this problem.... hope this helped!
Thanks for all the info guys I really appreciate it.
I have a problem with Contacts crashing. If I have the Google Voice setting enabled for Voicemail Display in the phone call log, when I access the log and look at a contact that has left me a voicemail, it crashes contacts with the message "Unfortunately contacts has stopped". It happens every time if there is a voice mail in the contacts' history. I have cleaned all the apps' caches, uninstalled and reinstalled google voice, etc. Does anyone have any other ideas to try? Anyone else having this problem?
I have the same problem, and tried to contact the google voice developer (google), but it states the email address doesn't respond to replies. I'm not sure what else to do. I think it has something to do with being incompatable with Android 5.1.1 (which is what I just upgraded to).
Bump
Same problem, note 4, t-mobile, Google voice VM enabled causes contacts to crash. Anyone with solution?
Ah, finally. now I don't feel so alone. LOL
It only happens to me when there is a voicemail on the screen of my call log. if there isn't one visible, when I scroll down to where one is, it crashes on loading. I tried deleting a lot of my voice mails, but no success; I just have too many to get rid of them all.
