Hey guys, I was wondering if there was a googlevoice workaround to activate the account on the gtab. It wants to send a txt msg but ofcorse it can't send one cause its not a phone. I've setup slipdroid but it wont register but shows my account when I go to pbx.org was wondering if maybe cause my googlevoice account on this tab couldn't finish setting up. Thanks
Matt
you have to update to the newest release then there is no problems
To follow up on what b3ltazar said, you may need to do the market fix in order to see google voice in the market. After the fix you will see google voice and can do the update. It will work after doing the update.
I have the new market. Running vegan 5.1 I tried the market fix but for some reason I never have and cashe when I got to allocations. Manage and tap on market. Why is this? Google voice is no where to be found in my market. Does anyone have the apk?
Thanks

I have it working... The workaround was to take the google voice on my phone, make a Titanium backup, copy those files over to the tab, and restore through Titanium backup as well. Afterwords, when you start voice, it walks you through the setup process and when it gets to the part trying to find the phone just back out of everything.
I've done this a couple times and it worked pretty well. You can text IF you have a google voice number.
Good luck!

That isn't really necessary anymore. Just update to the latest in the market, make sure the phone number you choose in Google voice has been added to your Google voice account, and text away...
If you don't see it in the market. Then you need to study up on market fixes. It is there in my market using vegaN Beta 5.1 and works fine. I use it everyday to talk to my kids..
I have it and it works great. Love texting from my g tablet

Slightly off-topic: Google Voice, and voice calls from Gtab, and in general?
Hi,
I have a Gmail and Google Voice account, and I guess that one thing that I've never quite understood is what Google Voice is, or is suppose to do, esp. vis-a-vis voice calls.
When I first got signed up for it, and when I'm in Google Voice (on a PC), I know that I can initiate a "voice call", but from what I can tell, the way that that works is that when you do a voice call from Google Voice, you tell it the number that you want to call (the "called number"), then Google Voice calls that called number, and calls you back on your REGULAR phone number. In other words, if the number that I have configured in Google Voice for myself is xxx-xxx-xxxx, when I initiate a call to yyy-yyy-yyyy, I get an incoming call on xxx-xxx-xxxx.
Then, awhile ago, Google announced that you could call from your Gmail account, and I was really surprised when I tried that. When I was in Gmail, I initiated a call to xxx-xxx-xxxx, and, I was able to talk to the called party ON MY PC, i.e., kind of like a "Skype out" phone call.
So, now that I have my Gtab, I was wondering: Is it possible to do the latter thing from my Gtab, i.e., to call a real phone number (xxx-xxx-xxxx) from my Gtab, and talk to that real phone via my Gtab, totally over Wifi on my end?
I've seen some posts and info about setting up sipdroid and pbx something or other, but I'm wondering if it's possible to do with just some combination of Google Voice app and Gmail app on the Gtab?
Thanks,
Jim
What version of Google Voice works for stock rom?
I have the same problem as many in this and 2 other threads.
Unable to get Google voice app to fully install. Does it only install / work on an UNstock gtab?
I can go to google voice in the browser and sent and receive texts, fine. But of course then you get no notification when messages come in.
As I said, I am runnning stock gtab, no mods. I was able to search and found Google voice in the gmarket but it gave me choices to sms or download to phone, or pc. I chose PC.
I click on install and at the screen where it asks for number confirmation, I select my cell phone, it returns error can not verify the number. (it is the same number I used to originally setup the gvoice on pc). I can not get past the voicemail setup page either, skip doesn't work and then back won't work and I am locked up.
There are so many great threads on this forum, but it seems many repeated questions because they remain unanswered, or perhaps there are so many version of tabs, the problems and solutions are ROM specific.
Its almost like we need sub forums, if running this, search here...

Do you have the market on your tablet? If yes, then update google voice and it should let you finish the setup.

I appreciate your reply.
a few questions:
1. is you tab rooted?
(I am reading like crazy to get all this, but there is so much! I thought TB only works on rooted units, but not sure if it requires a certain rom)
2. which rom are you running?
If I ever get this, I'm going to create a matrix: root - rom - apps - working y/n

I have gmarket, no mods.
I go to market and see no "updates"
I searched for, and installed google voice, no luck.
I will go back and look up installing gapps, I seem to recall it requires some mods first and that is what I was trying to avoid until I am sure I want to keep the unit.
I am on the fence. I never realized how (don't boo me) "hooked on windows I am" I love my android phone, but when it comes to the things I like to do on a bigger screen, as much as I love the touch feature, I really am so much more productive on a laptop. I'm sure its a learning curve, and I LOVE playing with new technology - and this sight is LOADED with all you need to know about the tab. But I am a step by step person and I feel like I am spending more time searching than learning.
Its just me .. kudo's to all the folks that help and dev here .. its a very amazing team!

Sorry for the delay in repsonding, I didn't have this thread tagged to notify me of replies.
Been busy messing with the new CM7 Beta for the Gtab.
Ok so, answers:
1) Yes my tab is rooted, the stock OS out of the box sucked the big dill pickle. I was rooted and customed within two hrs of taking it out of the box.
2) After messing around with the five or so availale ROMS, I decided to make the VEGAn 5.1 beta my daily driver, it and TnT lite are the most stable IMHO, I chose VEGAn over TnT because the news and weather genie was absent from TnT and the VEGAn web browser offer much more flexibility as far as options go. I'm a news junkie!
Also the On-Screen soft keys on the notification bar [HOME, MENU, and BACK] are fantastic additions since the keys on the device don't light up, which makes it real [email protected]%# when using the device in a poorly lighted room.
3) As for TB, it is my understanding it will only work with rooted devices.
4) It is also my understanding that TB will work with MOST Android devices and most ROMS whether stock or customed. YES TB will work with stock OS ROMS provided the device is rooted. And yes it is possible to Root your device WITHOUT unlocking the BOOTLOADER, both my N1 and GTAB are rooted via this method. N1 with Universal Androot and my GTAB with Z4root.

I don't have many people to call and those I do call i prefer video, but i have placed a few Skype calls on the Gtab and it works just fine for voice. Doesn't give the option for video, almost like it doesn't recognize the camera. i tried Fring and when i go to do a test call it makes a hideous noice and i have to force shut down the app. So for voice Skype is great.
Google Voice in the Market.
For those who after the market fix are still unable to find the google voice app, here is what I found. There are 3 different fingerprints floating around. When I could not find voice in the marketplace I started experimenting with the diffrerent fingerprints, and to my surprise each one gives different search results, with diffrerent apps available / missing. On my tab, with the samsung Tab fingerprint I was able to locate the google voice app, but with the standard mahimahi 2.2 i could not

So the fingerprint is changed via build.prop edit?
Would either one of these mess up the VS GTab?

All the standard disclaimers re: blowing up your tablet etc. are all still in effect. however the fingerprint method significantly improves the plain vanilla clear market cache fix, at least on my tab. YMMV

Evan Charlton released a big update to his awesome app for those of us lucky enough to have Google Voice accounts, go grab it!
Hopefully this is appropriate for this forum, if not, sorry, I just wanted to tell anyone else who has been waiting for an update like me!
Tommy
The release notes and documentation can be found here:
http://docs.evancharlton.com/docs/GV
Updating early this morning and I can't say I'm too happy with it. It keeps getting stuck at the setup screen and I can't get into the actual application. The only way I've been able to send an SMS through it is by removing the native Messaging app from default and using Contacts to send an SMS. Only then do I get an option to send through GV.

reboot your g1 and that fixes the settings screen getting stuck. I ran into this problem as well.
Only issue i'm having now is dialing out a number takes a long time, > 30secs even with pin turned off.

I didn't bother filling in the entry for Google PIN because I selected not to use it but the software still checks to make sure it's filled in. It's like an idiot filter and I failed miserably.

Probably not worth blaming yourself for that one. Sounds like the software isn't that clear. If it doesn't need the pin, it shouldn't need to check for it.

GV calls failing with error message
GV stopped working for me after the latest update a few days back. All attempts at outbound calls result in a message that says "The cost of this call is 4 cents a minute" followed by disconnect beeps. Unsure of whats going on. Maybe google changed something on him.
Would love to get it working again, just made the switch to routing all calls through GV after the previous update and then this one comes out and I lost all connectivity.
Good news is that you can download all previous versions from the link a couple of posts above. I'm trying it now.
GV working for me again...
It appears that GV is now working again. From what I've seen the failures are intermittent across all versions. I'm guessing Google is fiddling with things on their end and temporarily killing Evan's app.
Wonder if they're making their own...
GV seemed to hurt performance
I was a big fan of his GrandCentral app. When he made the GV v2 app, I was looking forward to lots of functionality which it has, but it always seemed to severely degrade my phone's UI responsiveness and when it really got bad, I would get Force Close/Wait windows for GV.
I've unloaded it and am waiting for another big release to try it again.
I found a change log with download links on his website: http://evancharlton.com/projects/gv/
Apparently that error has been corrected.

USSD Code Running.....
Connection Problem of Invalid MMI code
$.04 a minute crap is back again.
Well... after committing to routing all my calls through GV and having GREAT SUCCESS!!! for about a week the dreaded "The cost of this call is 4 cents a minute" - BEEP BEEP BEEP is back again.
Had to stop routing all calls through GV to ensure I'm not missing any important calls. This is very frustrating as I love the app and really love cutting down on costs. Can't wait until GV is 100% stable. I still think Evan's app is not the problem, rather Google fiddling with something on their end which in turn breaks GV.
Anyone who has further insight throw your two cents in here.
On a side note, I wonder if Evan is aware of XDA-DEV? Wonder if we'd be of any help to him, or if he'd be a good contributor here.
" $.04 a minute crap is back again".
is that local calls or long distance out of country?
I've had zero troubles with GV; it's more than likely GOOG is doing something with their code.
GV error...
.04 cents a minute is happening for local calls within my home area code. I'm nearly certain its Google's fault... wonder if this is a sign they're working on mobile client as well?
I'm an idiot.
Finally figured out whats happening with the error I metioned earlier in this post. The 4 cents a minute error happens when I try to call a contact that doesn't have an area code in the number. For instance 456-7890 instead of 123-456-7890 triggers the error.
Overall the GV app is great. Very stable and full of great features. Two things I'd like to see. Support for a search function in contacts is a big one. Integration of my GV contacts with my other google account contacts is another. The former is on Evan to develop. The latter is all Google and I hope they hurry up with that.
Also - just discovered that GV has some widget features in the new Hero theme, never saw them before, not sure if they were there or not.
Official Google Voice App?
Looks like Google INC. Just rolled out a google voice application on the market
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.google.android.apps.googlevoice
EDIT: woot just got GV invite!
And it looks like they are going to offer voip callout too. The S is about to hit the fan in regards to Google's relationship with carriers.
This is a bigger deal than Chrome OS imo.
First off, thank you to everyone who has had a hand in making Android on Vogue a reality. Amazing work.
I've spent some time researching failed outbound calls in GV, and as best I can tell the problem does not lie within GV, but is a limitation of the dialer. I'm noticing that all outbound calls to "+1" numbers fail on my device. As GV outbound calls are to +1 numbers, they always fail. Are others experiencing this, and if so could you please list carrier information?
I am using a Vogue with Warm Donut on Alltel.
Finally, is it possible that this is a radio issue? Is anyone having success with +1 dialing?
I have had the same experience.
Instead of using the Google Voice app for dialing out, I use "GV Dialer" from Android Market. Very reliable. Works 100% of the time with no problems.
Hope that helps...

I have had the problem with the "Voice" app from google for a while as well. not so sure that it is connected to the +1 dialing, as I've found sometimes just dialing again (sometimes it takes 5 tries) allows it to go through. a reboot ALWAYS allows it to function, at least for me. others noted that using plemen's old build that set build.prop to mimic T-mobile G1 broke "Voice" from working at all; I'm wondering if using market enabler will do this as well. not the whole story, though, as this has occurred to me since I stopped using market enabler a week ago.
berardi, "Voice" from google has a widget that with one click cycles through the different calling options (all calls GV, only international, no calls, etc). not ideal, but it works. it is under shortcuts rather than widgets, though, called "toggle google voice".
Yes, you are correct about the +1 dialing being the problem. I am on USCC and I cannot dial any +1 numbers, so this is a showstopper for using the GV app. Seems to me that there should be an option in its setting to use the prefix or not.
The solution is this: Check the market for an app called "GVMyNumber". It integrates well with the GV app, except when you go to place a GV call, this app dials your own GV number and goes thru the prompts. It is the best app for doing this that I have tried.

I think I still disagree. +1 dialing is not the whole problem. Tested again this pm, probably dialed 12 times in a row that failed, with a restart in the middle (apparently restarts don't always fix the problem), then two calls in a row that went through fine. ALL calls including the last two had +1, so that is not the whole story. Yes, dialing Google voice to dial out always works so programs that use that are a great workaround.

You might be right that the +1 is not the entire issue. However, I tried this a couple times: I dialed the GV access number manually, without the +1, and my previously attempted call would then go through.
I had originally thought this was a carrier specific problem, but now I'm definitely rethinking that. I am not optimistic of finding a workaround, other than using 3rd party apps.

short-term solution
I stumbled upon a program in the market. Called "GV" that will use either dialing patterns or the callback method. It works great, it's free, and it appears the developer is now distributing the code on his website.

Hello PeopleHelper,
I did exactly as you said and it did not work for me.
Did a fresh install of Myn's Rlse4 (Android v1.6) this morning using the "myn-WarmDonut-03-16-2010-320x480-160.zip" file.
Yes, everything looks a lot smaller.
Then open up the GVMyNumber apk to install it.
I then get a message "Application not installed -- GVMyNumber could not be installed on this phone"
Any other ideas?
I prefer this app over FlexDialer because after you are done with calls, the phone log shows the person's number you called instead of a call log full of my GoogleVoice phone number.
Thanks for any help!

Hello PeopleHelper,
I did exactly as you said and it did not work for me.
Did a fresh install of Myn's Rlse4 (Android v1.6) this morning using the "myn-WarmDonut-03-16-2010-320x480-160.zip" file.

see my faq (sig) on android and the market for step by step instructions.
I have been a long time fan of Vlingo for Blackberry and I read that it is now available for Android. I can't seem to find it in the market and I even went to www.vlingo.com/getvlingo. When I pull up the link it opens the market and says that there are no results for my search? Has anyone been able to successfully install this on the N1 running Froyo? If so, please enlighten me on how to do so.
Also, does this new version support Bluetooth voice dial since 2.2 has the ability now? One more thing, I did the build.prop mod to show all protected apps in the Market. Maybe that has something to do with it? If so, how do I revert this as well?

Vlingo pulls up fine for me - stock 2.1 (search for vlingo pulls it right up)
I'm on Froyo and can't pull up vlingo either (also went through Market and the getvlingo links).
Can anyone throw it up on a mirror?
Thanks!

This is exactly what I am experiencing...
This is a paid app, I pulled it up on my old G1. I don't think anybody is gonna post it here. Sorry for everybody who would actually pay for it.

Geez, ten bucks? What is it supposed to do that the inbuilt voice command cannot?
I used Vlingo when I had a BB and I didn't like it, and it was free at that time.

This is what they've got on their blog.
well, considering that voice to text should be available in any field that you are using the stock keyboard (i use swype, so i only turn stock on when i'm in the car), seems like vlingo is worthless
maybe i'm wrong
Thats pretty deceiving, since you can use the built-in android VR to compose emails and txt messages. I've done it many times, and it works great. I also use it to update my facebook status. As far as i can tell, there's really nothing that you CAN'T do with the built in VR, since you can use it anywhere you can use the keyboard.
Just got a reply back from support.
I was asked if my phone is rooted and if so that's the issue because the Market blocks Dev and Rooted phones.
Errrrr, hmmmm.
Anybody going to dish out 10 bucks for it and give us a review?

I got the exact same email from them about 5 minutes ago. I was solely interested in BETTER Bluetooth voice dial which they DON'T support at this time... I'm over it!
I suspect it doesn't show up in the market on Froyo devices because Google changed their voice recognition API in Froyo. They'll have to make some changes to the code and compile it with the 2.2 sdk.
I bought the app on my 2.1 Droid. The voice recognition is a lot better than Google's. I can actually use this, talk naturally, and don't have to worry about making corrections after the fact. I've got it mapped to hold on search hardware button, I say "Send an email to John Doe subject look at this message I composed this entire email without using my keyboard". It will ask me to verify the contact and email address I want to send to, let me choose to send with gmail or my exchange account, and insert the subject line and text in the message automatically. It's very slick and makes voice recognition really useful on android.

Uh, how is that not false advertising??
I can open Gmail right now, click a text box, and press the voice button.
Wtf?

Read my post above yours. This is what they were referring to.
As far as froyo support, I may be wrong: http://blog.vlingo.com/2010/05/android-22-froyo-support-for-vlingo.html
Bottom line is that as soon as Android Market flips the switch and recognizes the 2.2 OS as an officially released OS, Vlingo will show up as available for download. We'll certainly let you know once Android Market makes the change, and all you Froyo pioneers will be free to download Vlingo at your leisure.

So the only difference is that you can create and send an email without actually opening the Gmail app?
That's still false advertising as you can indeed Compose an email through voice.
If they made a distinction between "open apps using your voice", then it would be correct. But the way they are phrasing it is totally false.
I bought it, mapped it to long-press search button. The very first time I used it, it worked perfectly. "Text Google Weather [my zip code]" and sure enough, Handcent opened and the TXT was 100% correct. That was the only time it worked though. Everything else was close, but enough off I had to manually input something (find the correct contact or change the body of the message). Wasn't very impressed with it at all.

The first thing I noticed was how broken the interaction was when she said "call wonton shop" and it didn't call anywhere. it just looked up the number. the first result was a teriyaki place...go figure.
the second thing i noticed was the price. $10? for real? no thanks.
I searched the Google market and I guess we aren't supposed to be able to download... it wouldn't even let me download from Google.com/voice! So here you go :

Are you rooted? I am and when I went though the initial account setup the Google Voice app was one of the optional apps to install.
Currently getting freeze-ups during voice mail options... gonna check some other versions. Can someone confirm this as well? I'm running Vega 5.1 beta
I have been running vegan 5.1 and have been able to get it to work before but just re flashed back to vegan from adam and I am now stuck on setting up voicemail screen too.
Edit: I just restored it back with titanium backup and its working fine now. Maybe its needs a newer version from the market. Maybe you can try sideloading the new version.

If it's the page I'm thinking about there should be a "Skip" button there, that will finish up the setup and you can finish setting your voice mail options via a web browser and manage GV settings through the account settings page of your google acount.
From a browser Upper right hand corner of your google page.
Account Settings > Voice > Voice Settings.
From there you can record a voice mail for your callers to hear when they call.
Bunch of options there.
i tried setting up the options on my pc but it didnt work. it still freezes at that point. and when i hit the skip button it just freezes.
can you upload the apk you used yujikaido79?

I was having the same problem , google voice was locking up at the voicemail step. I used the apk in the above link and now it's working.
Thanks.
How do you make phone call using Google Voice?
Works on vegan expirimental froyo.
bluetooth with voice?
So if I was to be able to get Voice on my gtab would there be a way to make and recieve phonecalls with a bluetooth headset?
Unless something has changed, Google is not VOIP, so no, you can't make calls with it. You can still text with it, as well as check your voicemail, which are the two things I use it for on the tab.
I have google voice app on my Gtab, and it works... but I can't find my contact list to send texts.... I am just stuck at my mailbox... can anyway explain to me what I am not doing correct?
Thanks!
(BTW I'm sure I'm missing something stupidly easy... sorry in advance!)

Sometimes you just have to keep going back. It may close and you have to reopen it.
not sure if this is common news, but i just installed VEGAn 5.1 + the 5.1.1 supplement. i did the market fix documented several places (load market, clear cache, force stop, google framework, etc.) and was able to find google voice in the market. from there it allowed me to update, and once updated i could skip the voicemail setup as well. now everything is up and running fine.
google voice on GTab
I am running the vegan experimental, I side loaded in Google Voice. I know google voice is not voip but I was thinking of trying something along the lines of the google voice- sipgate trick people have been using for the Galaxy Tab. LifeHacker has an article describing what I want to do but they use a softphone on a pc, I am trying to achieve the same success via a sipgate app from the android market. I have read in other forums about people getting it to work on the Galaxy Tab. I was wondering if anyone has gotten it to work on the GTab. PS I would love to link the LifeHacker site but can't due to my noobness to this forum.
Actually I just got it to work so I can make and receive calls from my tablet. Will post some tips on how to get it to work later. Still working out the kinks.

I would be really interested in your guide or someone's elses on how to make calls with google voice.
Hi all,
I'm running into an odd issue on the N6, although other devices seem to have this as well. . .
I used to be able to use google now to set alarm, send message, etc while its locked.
Now, doing the same things, google now replies that it can't complete the task until device is unlocked.
Is anyone else running into this and is there any way around it?
Thanks!
Bump ... help please?
rom you are using? and android version?
it only happens when the device is locked with a password or something similar. If you disable that you're good to go.

I have this issue. I can't set alarms or reminders unless I unlock the phone. The voice prompt tells me so. Quite annoying. Hopefully they remedy it with smart voice unlock soon

This updated feature now affects texts via voice now. I can no longer wake my phone from sleep and send a text unless the phone is unlocked. More of a reason to move to a moto x pure now. what a huge step back.

Hi, I just saw your post and I was having the exact same issue. The only way I can get around it currently is by rolling back to an old version of the "Google App" which seems to encompass Google Now, Voice Search, Google Now Launcher, and most importantly the OK Google "always on" functionality.
I went back through previous versions testing the "OK Google call _____" (screen off & device locked) feature until I found where it stopped working correctly and the "4.9.22.16.arm" version is the last one that does work the way it is supposed to. You can find older versions of the Google App on Apkmirror. Hopefully they track down the root cause of the issue and fix it soon.
