Google Voice (outgoing calls?)

Anyone have a rom that is working with the newest version of google voice?
I have rooted 2.1 eris but Google Voice 3.2 and now newest 3.4 will not work/use google voice for outgoing calls!? All other functions work - sms, voicemail, and incoming google voice calls.
I have been using the old GV 0.2apk for some time now. Nothing newer works on Eris 2.0 or newer.

Sure do. Ivan's OC ROM 1.0 . Fully working- texts, call routing, you name it.

GV should work fine on anything based on the 3rd leak or 2.1 OTA (jcases "Plain Jane" ROM, for example)

[Q] VoiceMail notification W/O sprint_core.apk also GoogleVoice QUESTIONS

Is there any way to be notified of voicemails WITHOUT having sprint_core.apk, the visual voicemail app, installed? also, is there any way to retrieve google voice voicemails from my handset without using the google voice app?
thank you thank you

For GV, you can go to google.com/voice in your browser, it works the same way
Not sure about the other question

If you have your phone configured to forward to google voice, then its impossible for you to get actual phone voicemails so I dont see your use case. I really wouldn't mess with that voicemail apk either. If anything you can freeze it in Titanium backup if you dont like the fact that it runs in the background, but it will probably break other parts of the system.

ive ran without the vm apk before, it works fine. the only thing that doesnt, is notifications. when im left a vm without the app installed- i am not notified.
if im setup to forward unanswered calls to google voicemail, is there any way to retreive the voice messages on google voice with my handset, without the google voice app?

while i appreciate your efforts, as far as im concerned you keep posting lateral solutions. the google voice site on the browser kinda sucks. im given an option to download the file to the sd card...
ultimately the goal is to remove sprintcore while still being notified of the voicemail that is left. i wouldnt want to remove something just to have to add something to do the job.
thank you thank you

You can always use google voice to send you an email/text when you have a message, and check it the old fashioned way (by dialing in).

Google Voice

I'm using google voice for voicemail, but noticed that my buddy that also has a captivate can use his for texting. He's running stock 2.1, and I'm running di11i's v5.6 Stripped (an i9000 ROM). Where his has a compose button to text with, mine has a refresh. Any ideas why? Yes, I'm in the United States and have full Google Voice access.

Have you tried updating it in the market? I'm running a jpy rom and my compose button is to the left of the refresh.

Just uninstalled and reinstalled to make sure, I'm at the newest.

you might have selected your messaging app as your default after installing voice. Normally after you've installed google voice, your first txt message you try to send out via your contacts list. A pop up will appear asking you to choose an app to complete the action. it asks you to choose google voice or messaging, and an option to set whatever app is going to be the default. To get back that option you need to reset the defaults in your messaging app and not the google voice app.
The settings can be found under.
Settings -> applications -> manage applications -> messaging
pick clear defaults then try to send a txt message from your contacts list and you should see the pop up asking which app you want to use to send your txt.

using gv for texting works great, just make sure whoever you are texting has your gv number attatched to your contact because it sends the text from your gv number.
When I started using gv I sent all my most frequent texters my gv number and told them to use that number for me.
This allowed me to drop my text from unlimited to the 200 pack and saved me 10$ a month.

i hope you realize the difference between:
Google voice (for converting messages) and Voice Search by Google (for searching and inputting text into messages by voice like your buddy)
2 different things. and also not to be confused with android voice dialer. which works better as a dialer than google voice search (Which it is supposed to do also but doesnt work properly)
heres the offical youtube vid for what you want.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about Google Voice, the American app & service that us Canadian's don't get to use.
Trusselo, it let's you forward your phone to your GV account and use the Google Vmail service. It opens up a world of options compared to a carrier's vmail services. I have a GV account from when I was working down south this past summer, but you can't add a Canadian number to your account. So, until Google opens up that restriction I can't use my GV account anymore.
GV also let's you, if you choose, have 1 number which rings at any destination(s) you choose. Such as cell, house, work etc and then end up back in your GV vmail. I wish Google would open up the service to Canadians, especially since it was started by Canadians at Grand Central (Calgary company), then bought out by Google and shut down.

I read it as he wants to TEXT from his GOOGLE VOICE account, with the GV app. "that my buddy that also has a captivate can use his for texting". This is a feature of the GV app, if you select it in your GV account.

Ok that is quite possible then, either way, i dont have google voice.
I text by talking.
I use Voice Search by google to do what he wants and cant find.
many people have confused them before.

Voice search can't do what I want at all. I want to be able to text from my Google Voice number instead of my AT&T number. It's mostly for curiosities sake anyway.

I just tried that, and there were no defaults set for the messaging app.

Even on my google Voice web app, there is only a call button. Not a Text button.

I have both a refresh button and a compose button.
Dunno why you don't have both buttons.

Wow, I feel stupid. I never set up a google voice number. Fixed it. Thanks for the help!

[Q] Epic visual voicemail on the Nexus S4g

Can the Epic visual voice mail be ported to the nexus some how? Has anyone tried this?

Some people have mentioned waiting to see if the Visual Voice mail from the SGSii on from Sprint will be a possibility

If you want the same functionality use google voice and DO NOT integrate your number. Go through the normal gv setup and then it basically acts just like vvm did

Nope, and that was a setting that could be changes @ google.com/voice anyway

You have to set up Google voice using sprint #, then wait 15 mins
Then Google to Google voice on your laptop browser and deactivate your sprint # to go back to your regular Google voice #
Then you should be able to go back to phone and use Google voice only for voicemail

Just install and set up google voice DO NOT INTEGRATE the tick the box for voicemail ONLY if that is all you want to do for now. I was very hesitant to do this and finally did, it works perfectly and you also get free voice mail transcriptions to text as well.

Outside of the GV recommendations given here...
I think you're going to find that the answer is no. The Nexus series on Sprint has the voice mail routed through a different server than regular Sprint phones, and thus renders the Sprint Visual Voicemail app useless. You will find that it will install, and you can open it, but it will find no voice mail from the server.
I wish I had a link to prove this as it comes up often, but either a Sprint Tech or some smart member of this community (or some other android community) explained it all once.
Give Google Voice a shot....

Yes, I ran into these same issues with the Epic and the EVO when using AOSP roms (Cyanogenmod, MIUI, etc). This is probably the same issue on the Nexus S because is uses AOSP firmware. What ends up happening here is that the vm app installs, but it does not configure correctly to download voicemail. The solution I found on another thread worked perfectly on the Epic/EVO, and should work fine on the nexus. If it doesn't, let me know, I'm curious (im on gv so i dont use the app anymore). Here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982966

I was so excited, but I couldn't get it to work. I read, re read, and tried to follow directions, usually very good at it, but couldn't find any of this on Titanium Backup as they kept discussing. I looked through everything, even tried step 10, could not get anything to work after loading the .apk. It kept
trying to verify everything and just had wheels spinning.
It does show an email pack in the notifications, but since I just upgraded from CM7 to 2.3.7, don't know if this is the new notification or part of the visual
voicemail that remains on my phone.
You had my hopes up, good info, but didn't work for me.

Is WiFi calling on Verizon possible on stock 6.0.1?

I guess now the S6 series is supported by Verizon. I know the Nexus 6 supports the feature.. Any way to force enable it on a stock/rooted MM 6.0.1 device?

No as they have to make it available for your device on the server side.

Verizon's recent MM updates now include WiFi calling (my wife recently received an OTA on her LG G4). Since I'm on a custom rom, I don't know if there has been a recent release for our device with that feature.

Google Hangouts Dialer can make calls over WiFi. Not sure about Google Voice.
