I have a 2.2 MyTouch 3G 1.2 and I just installed Google Voice but I can't send any text messages. When i open the app and hit the menu button, there is no button for "Compose." Has it been deleted or what?
Screenshot?
Using drocap2 or picme or shootme or similar.
Here they are. I've attached them.
Try texting someone.
Also what version is it?
Settings, should be there somewhere.
EDIT:
I went to google voice site and I added a different google voice number and now it works. Thanks though
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.

I could have sworn I had voice dialer, (non-BT)
I think it was on perception 10.x
Now on Serendipity and cant for the life of me find the app. Is there a separate apk I can install ?
I used to be able to press a button and say "call robyn" and it would find it in the contacts and call.

Thanks
Long press Search.
That doesn't seem to be it. Long press search brings up google voice search.
If it is then it used to be different. Right now if I say, "call mom" it just brings up web search for call mom, and not look in my contacts.
The screen used to look like voice search, but I remember it had additional text instructions.
Thanks for helping though mike.
Update: I found a video of the app.

I hope someone knows what it's called I searched app market with no luck.
voice dialer is built into stock 2.1 and 2.2 and most custom roms, also not to be confused with google voice search(2.2 only - mike).
It's in the kitchen now.
Sent from my Captivate.
Unless she is in your contacts as "Mom" it won't find it and will default to a Google search. I use Vlingo as it works better and all I have to do is say "Call so-and-so at home" and it goes to dialing with no other input from me. Works over BT also.

WHere is the voice dialer? How do you accesss it?
Hi guys,
A friend of mine seems to have a problem with Google Voice - he's American but living in Spain, and he used to use Google Voice to call home.
Well, since he updated to Gingerbread the Google Voice app doesn't show app on his app drawer. He's tried setting the phone's language to American English, apparently to no avail. If he opens the Market and then navigates to the GV app, everything's greyed out and he can't open it from there; there's also no "uninstall" button.
Is there anything he can do to open the app?
Thanks in advance for your help.
He might want to try again with an american SIM card.
Android 2.3.3 Google Voice/Sipdroid Installation for OUTSIDE USA
When I did the manual update of Gingerbread 2.3.3 in Spain, I lost the Google Voice app functionality, as it was not included in the App drawer and all buttons were greyed out, including the Open button on the Android Market. I could not uninstall google voice nor do anything with it.
So here's how I got Sipdroid working on Android Gingerbread 2.3.3 outside the USA!!!!
Sipdroid only requires that Google Voice be installed on the phone to
setup the PBXes account. After Sipdroid is setup, Google Voice is not
needed, and can be uninstalled.
Below are the instructions for those of us outside the USA using Gingerbread 2.3.3 that want to use Sipdroid/Pbxes to make free wifi/3G calling to/from Google Voice. (You will need to already have a google voice number)
1. Download Sipdroid and install from the Android Market.
2. Download the APK file to your phone and install it. This will setup Google Voice and is just needed for the Sipdroid/PBXes setup.
3. Open Google Voice and just Sign In with your Gmail account. You don't need to continue further with the installation, just hit the Home button and then...
4. Open Sipdroid---A small button at the bottom of the application will ask you to setup a PBXes account and you'll just enter your info. Voila, now you can make/receive free USA/Canada phone calls.
Now, google voice will continue to be an app you can use on your phone, however when you reboot the phone, the app will disappear. The good thing is that Sipdroid doesn't now need the Google Voice app to function. (If you do want to use Google Voice in any other way, you can just reinstall it, and it will work until you reboot your phone)
Hope this helps!
Now I can sleep well after solving this..........

Google Employee Looking into Google Voice not working outside USA
Just read over on a Google Support forum:
A google employee is looking into this Google Voice issue on 2.3.3
Hopefully they'll get out a fix for those that need to use GV app shortly.
David
Until Google gets a fix out the door, one alternative would be to use the Mobile Web version of Google Voice. The only downside is that Android users only get the basic text-based version of Google Voice for Mobile Web. Only webOS users get the really nice graphical mobile web-based version. So unfair!
Google Voice is not available outside us until now
I don't live in USA and I activated Google voice. Using Skype online number. Helps if u want to call someone who is in the states or even USPS cell phone package tracking etc. Now, the VoIP international rates are also attractive to call home.

Is there a way to change the number that is dialed for 'check voicemail' on a VZW phone from *86 to my Google Voice number? I have configured Google Voice on the phone as the voicemail service and populated the number, but Moto Voice still tries *86.
Can u say "open google voice" and have the app open? Or you looking for it to actually open the voicemail?
^ I could do that, though I was trying to get it to call my Google Voice number so I could listen to the message. I could also add a contact named Google Voice, I was just trying to stay in the existing framework.
