Is anyone else having issues with call waiting not working when using google voicemail? I like the features of google voice but this is a deal breaker. I noticed that the call waiting feature is not working at all on my sprint # and every time it is going directly to voicemail, I assume this has to be because of google voice is configured to be my default voicemail?
Is there any solution to this problem besides going back to sprint vvm?
So all the people who are using google vm are fine with losing call waiting? And CM recommends google vm and boasts how it is far superior to to sprint voicemail even though we lose a major feature like this?
I find that all very hard to believe, there has got to be a solution someone must know! I've searched everywhere and can't find anything.
I use GVoice and love it, and I have no issues with call waiting.
I did have a ton of problems with GVoice when I first started using it. After a ton of reading and trial-and-error on setting things up different ways over and over I finally realized Sprint's voicemail service was conflicting with GVoice.
I called Sprint and actually had them completely remove their voicemail service from my account. I can add it back anytime I want. I have had zero issues with GVoice since then. YMMV
GV works fine for me. i get my voice mails transcribed, call waiting works, and if you install the app, you get a nice little toggle link for how you want your outbound calls routed.
win.

Yea I'm getting all those features as well, like I said everything works great except call waiting. But I'm gonna try nebenezer's suggestion and hope for the best.
You know what else doesn't work with Google Voice is "Decline" because if you decline a call it goes straight to Sprint Voicemail. The call never gets forwarded. Deal breaker for me.

hmm, I didn't realize that.
One thing that does bug me too is that caller-id-blocked numbers don't make it to GVoice either.
My work line shows as 000-000-0000 on caller id. I have tested this on a wide variety of phones and gvoice settings and never have I been able to leave myself a vm from my work line.

Well that sucks, back to Sprint VVM for me then.
Hopefully this is something that Google can even fix and isn't a limitation due to Sprint's network or hardware in some way.

FWIW, I just tested this a couple times with a friend at work, no problems here. Maybe that was another conflict with Sprint's voicemail service?
He called my phone from his, I declined the call, he left a voicemail..
If you want to make sure that voice mails go to google voice, turn on Call Screening. That way if you don't answer, decline or you miss the call, you google voice picks up the message. You may get a voicemail message in your sprint voicemail box, but it will only have the message "press 1 if you want to accept this call"
So with this method you don't have to forward calls at all.
Let me know if this helps anyone.
Both my T989 (Galaxy II) and T999 (Galaxy III) are setup to use google voice for all calls.
On my T989 the call logs showed the numbers of the contacts I dialed in the call log and I believe when I was dialing out.
On the T999 the call logs show the google voice number that bridges the call, not the callers phone number and shows the same when dialing out.
I can't seem to figure out how to fix this so the contact's name/number is shown in the call logs rather than the number the phone dialed to connect the call.
Anyone had and fixed this issue?
Thanks!
I'm experiencing the same issue with outbound google voice calls and the stock dialer logs.
Thanks. It's nice to know I'm not the only one having this problem.
by any chance is this working as expected for anyone? hard to believe no one else has noticed and commented.
seeing the random outbound number in the dialer's call log is frustrating.
Same issue here on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S III
Same here.
having the same problem as well on my SGS 3... works as expected on my HTC 1XL. seems you can redial the number you intended to dial from the call log.

same problems on my I747 (AT&T S3). Very annoying.
Ditto. Very frustrating. It seems to my limited brain that it might be the phone apk taking it's data from a network source rather than the phone's dialer. I'm contemplating trying a different model's phone.apk, but I really need my phone to work, and I haven't flashed a ROM yet on this one.
No more comments since, have you guys figured out how to fix this. If yes, kindly post the solution.
This is ridiculous, I am seriously considering taking this (otherwise a fine) phone back to store.
This bug is a deal breaker for me. Good phone/hardware/software design should follow standards.

I refuse to deal with this. I need GV to work as intended. I need to have this ANDROID phone behave like an android phone. If I wanted a phone controlled by the manufacturer, I would buy the crap iPhone.
Really, either Samsung fixes this issue within this week, or this phone is going back.

Can you explain the problem better. I think my iPad shows the random google number too. If that's what you're talking about.
When your phone is set to use GV when dialing then GV does use some (random?) number (say you dial 202-123-1234 GV might show dialing 617-444-3333) but then in the Log you would see the number you dialed (202-123-1234) not the num that GV used (617-444-3333). This is how it works in other phones that I have used. Bug is with the Galaxy S3 that show the GV number in the log. If you click on the GV num that appears in the log you will be connected correctly, but it's beyond annoying to not be able to see/find numbers/people (people cause the contacts are associated with the real number, not the one that GV uses).
I'm getting there, I think lol.
Are you dialing out using the phone app? Or gv app? Can you make the call/see it correctly if you dial out through the web browser?
And what you're saying is that the call log shows the google service number not what was dialed.
In my stock phone app my call log shows the number of a person who called my gv number and was forwarded to me. Do incomming calls display correctly?
I am dialing out using the Phone app.
When you say the "call see it" I figure you mean the Log. I don't know how to dial using Voice (GV on the phone) as I don't see a dial pad there as I do on my desktop computer.
>>And what you're saying is that the call log shows the google service number not what was dialed.
EXACTLY
Install google chrome and navigate to the voice site. I don't really use gv anymore but it could interest you. I found using it through the web always gave a better experience because it's more robust.
In the phone app is it just outgoing that's messed up or incoming too? I didn't even know the stock dialer could be used for gv
going to the website, and using the call back, it works fine - but that defeats the whole beauty of being able to use the phone dialer and transparently it uses GV (this might be new to Android v 4). The setting for this is in Voice (android app for GV) under settings, Making calls. For me the reason I want to use GV for all outgoing calls is so that ppl know me by the GV number since my SIM changes often and if they get the SIM number they tend to save it, later trying to reach me at this number and finding it's no longer in use....

this is an issue with the Touch Wiz ROM and Google Voice.. if i use a stock TouchWiz ROM and GV, and call a contact, then the service number is in the call log. when i use the CM10 ROM and, i call a contact, the call log lists contact phone number. either way, i'm disappointed that Samsung and/or Google haven't addressed this issue. t
As far as I can tell, if you have and use this feature regularly, you will not be able to use this feature on this phone unless rooting/romming fixes it. Something samsung has done has broken GVoice on ALL galaxy S3 devices. Some googling reveals that several users have reported issues w/ GS3 (sprint customer or not) and google voice.
Where to from here? Do I pack er up and send it all back to amazon? I'm tempted to. I originally wanted the Evo 4GLTE. I'm sure that works perfectly fine with the sprint feature I use the most. Sigh.
Mind elaborating on what's broken? I have gvoice and have had my s3 for about 3 weeks and while I see some issues, I've still been able to fully use it. Its the number I strictly use for work and so far so good.

The sprint integration allows you to use your main number AS a google voice number. That feature no longer works. :\ What it allowed me to do was to send a text from my device, and view/reply to it from the browser google voice interface.
I've deactivated for now and when I attempt to reactivate I get an error. I'm hoping someone chimes in who's had this problem, but it looks like I must be one of the few who converted over. Ugh
I got the same error, but I kept trying it over and over, and it eventually worked. I had an issue with calls not connecting correctly somewhere in between Google and Sprint, so I would get calls that were completely silent. However, I called Sprint and they completely reprogrammed everything on the back end, and I haven't had the problem since.

I spent many hours and shed tears (almost but not really) last night to no avail. Very very weird. You're right though. It finally worked. What I had to do was completely deactivate, reactivate while signed out on my phone. It's back now. Feels good.
Sorry to bug you guys, carry on.

The Sprint integration also works the other way... allowing you to use an original Google Voice (or even GrandCentral) number AS your Sprint Number.
That's how mine is set up, and I can call, text, receive calls, receive texts just as I did on my original Evo 4G without any issues.
Maybe it's just the one way that is screwed up?
If using GVoice, when you get a new phone, you should deactivate GVoice from the web page before switching your phone.
Switch phone, then reactivate.
Kind of a PITA, and neither Sprint nor Google cover swapping devices.

I used to do the same thing back with my Evo 4G.. but this time when I went to activiate my S3, since the website activation was down, I did so over the phone.
When the rep mentioned she was going to test my phone to see if it receives a call and leave a voicemail, I told her I would have to go to Google first and do the remove/reintegrate dance before she tried , and she said "That's no longer needed on the newer phones". She then called my Gvoice number, gvoicemail picked up and was sent to the Google voice app on the phone just like it should have.
Didn't need to touch a thing, I was quite impressed.
I understand what the op is referring to, I think. With Google voice integrated to your Sprint phone, and selecting gvoice to use your Sprint number as the primary number, you are then unable to:1. use the stock messaging app to receive messages, despite selecting 'use stock messenger' for text messages. All messages are now received thru Google voice widget. 2. You are unable to select 'do not disturb' in this configuration either, which I find unacceptable given the dog**** airline I work for and the harassment we receive on the phone (sorry that's another story). I had to skip the integration portion and use gvoice separate from Sprint so I could retain those features. For those of you who are switching back and forth, integrated and not, I found that it can take up to an hour for the network to catch up. So if you switch one way and want to switch immediately back, you may have to wait.

Sprint is currently experiencing a technical difficulty which prevents new users from integrating their Sprint accounts with Google Voice. Also, users who have disabled the integration cannot re-enable Google Voice/Sprint integration at this time.
Please know that they are hard at work on a solution.
Taken from http://support.google.com/voice/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=known_issues.cs
same issues other people are describing. I use my google voice number (not my Sprint number) as the outgoing displayed number. Right now initiating calls from my phone display my sprint number and not my google number. Tried disabling from the web interface and it told me that Sprint was undergoing maintenance. bah.
I just had my SEP changed to the Everything 450 yesterday, and my GV integration stopped working. I went online and tried to reassociate, and I keep getting a back-end failure, and that I need to call Sprint. Is this the same problem that you guys have been experiencing for months? If so, I feel like I am screwed...
yep, had the same prob when I first got my phone about a month ago. When I tried to make a call, my real sprint number would show. I searched through the google voice app to see if I had somehow skipped the settings of "ask everytime I make a call" blah blah, couldnt find it. Then I thought it was something messed up in the new google voice app since I couldnt find my backup (older) google voice app.
I eventually called sprint, and they reprovisioned my phone, and everything was working fine.
I just flashed my phone a few days ago to get root and the freegs3 rom, and now everything is borked again. Which is confusing the hell out of me, because my phone is already reprovisioned, and flashing roms usually do not interfere with such settings. Looks like Im going to have to call sprint again.
I did write down the instructions they gave me the 1st time, but I cant find that either, so much for being organized.
Unable to recieve calls due to Google Voice
So I have a slightly different issue than most have reported. My wifes number would not come through to my phone. Even after multiple reboots and changing all kinds of other settings. I finally deactivated VOICE and she could suddenly call me. The strange thing was it was completely functional for some other numbers to call me, but the wife could not.
Any ideas? Or is Google Voice just pretty much borked across the board for S3 phones right now?
Ok, after flashing a rom, Im having the same probs again. Called Sprint to reprovision, and they told me its an Google Voice outtage, which I know cant be right cause this thread would be flooded. Im convinced the tech isnt techy. After he gave me this ##code, my phone updated profile, and updated prl. Now, my internet isnt working at all, 3g or 4g. He said he would call back in 2 hours, and said the systems should be up no later than 1pm tomorrow. I called to get google voice back working, not to loose more functionality of my phone! This isnt acceptable.
So, any other ideas?
I was getting furious with Sprint over this problem... I believe they finally fixed it when they reset my plan completely. Moved me to ED450 from the broken SEP. I can guarantee you the problem is on Sprint's side, and not Google's.

apologies for my injections and slight angle change. I LOVE google voice but can not really use it (use it with groove ip very nice I might at)
my problem is google voice REFUSES to let me turn off voicemail or greatly extend the "answer time" for voicemail.
when routing gvoice to a landline the "delay" factor is very small to near instant. I have no landlines all cellular and the "delay time" to cellular is simply "HUGE"
long enough that I had had my phone ring "momentarily" and just stop. not even enough time for me to pick it up.
what happens? the delay time is SO LONG from when it "connects" to when my phone actually "rings" that the call is transferred to VOICE-MAIL before I can answer it.
that renders it nearly useless for me. ever since google neutered their voice mail (no custom mp3 messages anymore) I just don;t have a use for it AND I want to get my calls. not have to call them back every time.
SO does anyone know how to either turn off voicemail all together on google voice OR extended the "time" it waits before going to voicemail so my phones have a chance to RING longer IE so I can answer them.?

Yes this is an issue with ATT stock rom. Annoying but workaround is to use Google Voice to check outgoing call log
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
Just upgraded to JB last night on ATT, using GV 0.4.2.66. Phone has never been rooted, stock ATT always. Problem still exists - place a call and the log shows the relay number, not the actual dialed number. Weirdly, back in August I think, after a bout of uninstalling/reinstalling GV, it worked perfectly for a while. Then some unnoticed update broke it and it started storing relay numbers in log again, and hasn't worked since.
As I understand from the MANY other threads out there on this issue, the problem lies with Samsung and their dialer not talking to GV properly. No-one has yet to have any help from Samsung, but the hope was JB would fix it.
Nope. I use GV all the time, so this is practically a deal-breaker for me
What are the options here ? Is it possible to use the stock JB dialer instead of the Samsung Touchwiz one ? I'll root and put in a different ROM if I have to ...
Thanks -
Google Voice stores relay number in call log, not called number
Is anyone out there using google voice with the S3 (on ATT) ? Have you gotten it to store the actual number you called rather than the damn GV relay number ? This is one of the most popular phones out there, and there are a metric ton of people using GV - surely someone has it working cleanly ?
It's frustrating. No workee for me either. Can't redial.
Actually, I wish Google supported GV more. No APIs, so many things can't be done due to using GV messaging.
According to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35616192&postcount=29
Some users (on Verizon?) are seeing it work correctly. This leads me to believe that some builds of 4.1.1 for the S3 may have this functioning correctly.
Some questions:
Does anyone know of any ROMs for the S3 that have the correct behavior with Google voice that work on ATT?
Can we take the dialer from the Verizon S3 and use it on an ATT S3?
Any other suggestions for resolution?

Looks like it is new to market. No reviews. ANd the link to the developer's web page appears to be broken.
I'll keep an eye on it and may try it later.
Would be nice if there were a limited time free version to check out.
I'm running Liquid Smooth rom based on JB 4.1.2 and my GV is working great. I noticed your issue on other roms that I test drove but I never did any troubleshooting to find out why it was happening.

FYI...Jumpsquares is the developer of the app, it appears. He has not responded back here to my response above, so I'm assuming he is not paying any attention to this thread. Just dropped in long enough to advertise.
That being said I am happy with my stock/rooted Rom, and decided it would be easier to spend the $2 on his app than installing a whole new different ROM and reconfiguring everything. But after install, it needs email and password; it would not accept it and move on.
I unstalled for refund. Sent him an email to see what hes replies with. Will post back here if there is any progress.
Has call screening been turned back on in the January update?
I've only ever tried it once and nothing happened, heard the caller "hello...................hello?"
For me always work. Even after December update. I've just checked and work perfect
Yes, it's on for me.

For me, yes, as well as "Hold for Me".
I wish you could change the message is plays. I have paranoid friends who'll hear the phrase, "a transcript of this call", and hang up thinking the entire call will be recorded/transcribed. Then again, the reason I'd need to screen them is because they all have their caller ID blocked. Lol!
Yeah it wasn't showing for me at first but I went in and did a force stop on the dialer app and then cleared cache. It was showing after that.

Most of them are active duty or retired Military and they're SUPER paranoid, especially these days. They all have their caller ID blocked and it's almost impossible to get them to give you their number. They think *I'm* the odd one for not having mine hidden. Lol!

Lol! That's why they call instead of text!

I use Signal as well, but, can't get everyone else to use it. I like it for lots of other reasons though. Namely, how it handles media/ photos. Your friends are wise to be paranoid. Carriers in the US have been caught recently censoring text messages with links to articles "they" don't think anyone needs to see. Will phone conversations be next?
