So my personal number resides with GV whereas my primary number is used for work purposes. Since GV and hangouts merged, there was a smart reply feature built into hangouts which uses the last number the other party texted to you to reply with, ie.
friend>text to primary # = reply with primary #
friend>text to GV # = reply with GV #.
However, that feature that not seem to work with the moto 360. Whenever I say text "friend," it automatically always texts with my primary number. Is this more of a limitation to hangouts or moto 360?

I think it's a limitation of hangouts because even from my phone, if I voice text someone, it uses my Verizon number rather than my Google voice number.

I have the option to pick 10 friends which I can call without burning up my minutes with Verizon. I wonder what would happen if I put my google voice number to the list, and start making/receiving calls from now on with my google voice number. Will I be able to call within the US and Canada for free?

If you google how to do it then it should work, but might only work incoming or outgoing calls, not both. Most likely incoming I think. When you USED to dial out, it would always dial the same number, but now, it dials a different number to dial out and isnt always the same. Google it and I am sure you can find a tutorial somewhere.
Add your GV# to FnF then get Flex Dialer Pro from the Market. Once setup it will call out using your GV#. That way all calls coming & going are free.

It works for outgoing calls if you have the old google voice apk. the new one on the market uses multiple numbers instead of connecting to the same server everytime. here you it is. this is the one I use it always dials out the same number http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7628419/com.google.android.apps.googlevoice.apk Do NOT UPDATE!

This is correct for outgoing calls.
For incoming calls, you can add your google voice number to your F&F and then set Settings -> Calls -> Caller ID (incoming) to "Display my google voice number."
You then lose caller ID, but the calls are free.
More hassle than its worth imo.
Using the older .apk you'll have to add 2 numbers to your FnF. One for outgoing calls & your GV#. The outgoing number does sometimes change depending on your location as far as I can tell. If you set it up as I suggested earlier you'll use only your GV# in FnF.

So I setup google voice at first and it was fine.
I still had my regular phone # and the google #. Both came up correctly when I called someone or texted someone through the stock app or GV app.
Texting was working fine too. Texting through the stock messaging app showed my regular # and texting through the GV app showed my GV #.
I don't know what happened but now all the texts I send through my regular messaging app come up as my GV #. I don't want that. Anyone know how to fix this to make it go back to normal?
So what I want is...
People I call using my regular sprint # see my regular sprint # on their caller id
People I text using the stock messaging app see my regular sprint # as their contact
People I call using my GV # see my GV # on their caller id
People I text using the GV app see my GV # as their contact
I don't know how to fix your problem, but porting my sprint # to gv and dropping my old gv number was the greatest decision I ever made concerning Google Voice. Well....except that time I got invited and signed up.
Then everything just comes from one number. But maybe you want it separate for a reason.
Again, sorry I don't know how to fix your issue. Good luck!

The problem is the wasn't an issue yesterday and now today it is acting all weird. Something in my settings must have made it freak out and that is what I need to find out.
I want both numbers to be separate because one number is from a different state and when people see it in my current state it looks a little suspect, if that makes any sense.
I disabled the GV # on the web and now the phone is acting fine with my real # but would like to use GV so wanted to see what settings I need to choose to get it to correctly work like before.
So this hasn't happened to anyone else or does no one frequent the general part of this board?
Sprint numbers can now fully integrate with Google Voice. Try deactivating Google Voice integration with your spring number then reactivating it - IIRC, it will give you a choice whether you want to be fully integrated or keep the number separate.

Gonna give that a try...thanks. Is there anyway to have google voice only log my texts from the GV # and be able to disable the texts through my regular sprint #?
Seems unnecessary having the texts also go into the GV inbox when I don't want them to. Wish I could turn that off.

Once you get your numbers split, GV should stop logging texts from your native phone number.

So if everything is working properly my sprint #s texts will go to my messaging app and my GV texts will just be in the GV inbox and everything will be totally separate...correct?
Is there some specific settings I need to change online on the GV site to make it all work properly?

I believe this is set through the initial setup (when you FIRST activate your phone for google voice)
Looks like I might have got it working again. Still getting regular texts in GV inbox tho.
Basically I want it to take over the dialer and texting portion. I may be confused, but I could have sworn I sworn I say it being able to do these things. Also, I heard you can use GV to take over your regular voice plan? Or is that Groove IP? Idk

Google Voice doesn't work as a VoIP service alone. It works as a "forwarding" number to your normal cell #. It costs you minutes. You can configure the Google Voice app in a way that when you dial a number from the default dialer, it will either ask you which # to use, or just use your GV# every time. Texts will be received in the Google Voice app, but you can configure it to forward them to the Messages app, also. If you want a recommendation, I'd say just use the Google Voice app for SMS and don't bother with forwarding.
GrooVe IP (and Talktatone, SIP clients, etc.) all work as VoIP services to intercept incoming Google Voice calls that are forwarded to Google Chat (Google Talk). Incoming calls to your GV# are forwarded to Google Chat (instead of your carrier #), then the app picks them up and routes it to your phone to take the VoIP call (with no minutes cost). GrooVe IP integrates into the dialer really well, but the quality wasn't great or consistent, which is the case with most VoIP calls.
In Google Voice, go to settings -> Making calls -> Use Google Voice to make all calls.
This will "hijack" all calls made from your phone. What happens is when you make a call, it will actually call some random number Google made up specifically for you, then it will get forwarded to the number you actually wanted to dial.
This will use minutes, as mentioned.
As for texts, google voice cannot "hijack" the same way it can for phone calls. I'm guessing it's a compromise google made with carriers to not steal money away from them. You can still receive texts through google voice, but not through the native Messenger app.

This, but you can choose what your Google Voice number is. Its only randomly assigned if you tell it to be. For example when creating Google Voice, I got a GV# that's the same 7-digit # as my carrier one, but with a different area code. Simple to remember.

You can have your GV App receive messages then put them in the Messenger app if you'd like. Its messier though, as it assigns a random # to each contact. I'd say just use the GV App for your SMS.
Yeah, what I meant by random number was that when calling out, it will actually call a Google associated number (which seems random to me) before forwarding it with your GV# as the caller id. If you look at your bill, it will be all to the same number.
Currently I have a google voice number and a regular Sprint number, I know when you create your google voice number you can do the integration where Google will use your current Sprint number, which sounds cool in theory, but I heard a lot of issues with doing this, the main one, not getting MMS anymore, and some missed VMs etc...
My question is, when I install the Google Voice app on the phone there is some option asking about integration, from the sounds of it, it seems like this is different than Google taking over your current number. Ideally what I want is to still have two different numbers, but I would like my Sprint number -and- my Google Voice number to both use the Google Voice Voicemail service. This is to work around some AOKP / AOSP issues with Sprint Visual Voicemail app that I've had.
So is this possible? Is this what that install option on the phone does? Once I do the integration can you unlink it?
I'm not sure about the setup you desire, but I think for Google Voice to handle voicemail for your Sprint number, you are going to need to do the integration.
I integrated shortly after the option became available. Google Voice itself will not handle MMS messages, but you will still receive them on the phone -- just not in the GV app. That works fine for me. I haven't had any issues with missing voicemails or otherwise.
Once you do the integration, you have a period of time to decide whether to keep it or not. After that time expires, your old Google Voice number is removed. I think that's 90 days.

Yes it is and this is my setup. Install the app and when you are setting it up it will ask you if you want to integrate, you will press next if so. If not and just want the regular google voice setup just press skip. Do this, press skip. Then link your google account, setup which calls you want google voice to handle and then finish..you're done.
Thanks ... I set it up and deleted the Sprint VVM app, don't have a way to test it though, tried calling my phone with google voice, but the phone doesn't ring, I'm guessing that's because I'm trying to call the phone GV is set to forward too... Oh well, looks like I'll just wait till someone calls

You should be able to call your cell # from your gv # even if the cell is set up as the forward # for GV...I do it all the time...
Just did it from the gmail dialer...

Yea tried that, for some reason the phone never rings when I call myself via chrome Google voice on the PC, txts do go through however, odd

You actually want to SKIP integration.
I have mine setup so that you can call my google voice # or Sprint # and both ring on my phone.
If you integrate (during the app setup) you turn your Sprint number into your GV #.
To fix this you need to login to google voice and there is a setting to (basically un-link) the GV # from your sprint #.
Uninstall and reinstall the app on the phone, this time skip integration.
Hope this helps.
if you want to keep google voice number and your sprint number separate than when you set up the google voice app skip the first option and voice mail integration and just get the text and call forwarded to your phone via gV..I like to keep them separate to keep business from personal

That's exactly what I use it for too.... Think I got it all setup, still can't call my sprint number from my google voice number in a browser however, don't know what's up with that, but think everything else is working.
When I try set voice mail service on my JB (AT&T JB/Rooted) it fails to register. But I have fowarding set to my GV number so it does send voice mail there.
I have GV settings (online GV settings) set to display my GV number, not the real number (Don't want texts sent to real number...have that turned off). But I learned today that my real number is displaying on the other side.
Any suggestions?
Everything I have read states AT&T doesn't support third party voice mail providers. I'd love to see a solution too because AT&T vm is terrible.

If you are running 4.1.1 stock, it will not work, have to wait for an update.
Boy. Google is getting as bad as some others. Even their own products not working together. GV seems to not be getting much support/update or enhancements from Google. I wonder when they will add it to their list of products to drop.
I did have this solved, on my last gs3 on AOKP. VM went to GV and all calls went through GV with my caller ID showing as my GV number.
New phone, new flash and I'm working on it again.
In my case I use GV for all texting, and all calls. I did have the problem of phone VM set up originally. And I thought I had it set up well and then borked the phone.
I'm still starting over since yesterday.
IF you look at the screen that shows up under phone> menu> voicemail> set up. That screen looks like an old GB screen and has your google voice number listed as you voicemail as area code+number. There is no "1" before the number. if you de activate and reactivate from teh web interface and start using those codes *00xxxxxxx whatever, notice forwarding has a "1" in front of your number to forward to.
I thought this had somethig to do with it, maybe not.
But I'm working on it today
I noticed that whenever I receive a call from my GV number, my native dialer disappears when I try to hit the 1 key to answer the call. Reminds me of a game of whack a mole, lol
