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 tried this also. My question is: Is there any way to use GV for all calls by default, but then to use GV for a specific #? When I call my mom, I want it to be Sprint to Sprint so I can't use GV.

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.

I tried loading GVMyNumber.apk and get a message "could not be installed on this phone".
I am running Myn's Donut v1.6.
It appears this app has a minimum requirement of Eclair Android 2.0 and above.
Hopefully they update it to support earlier versions of Android.

I am running Myn's Donut v1.6, I was able to get the Google App by setting up my Touch 6900 with the 320x480 res. First then go back to what you want for res.
Boost Mobile Android v1.6, Yes LOL
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.

if running with the kernel on NAND, you just flash the .nbh for teh resolution you want; it will change your kernel only, everything else won't be touched.

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!

see my faq (sig) on android and the market for step by step instructions.
Hello...as many other i try to find a working solution to get notification working with "button light" ...
i try a lot of apps ..for example "iled, led blinker, noled..and many others ...also i try LG Touch LED Notifications which is pretty cool but does not work as expected ..for my P700 device ...
now i finally found a working "LED Notification app" .. but unfortunally it notify only missing calls and sms..however ..its real small application ..does not use that much battery ...for everyone who would give it a shot ...get it from the market ..
***s://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.kreijack.xled&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImV1LmtyZWlqYWNrLnhsZWQiXQ..
or simply search for "xled"
As far as i can see it is open source and allowed to modify ...maybe someone could implement such features of "google talk, whatsapps" etc. notification features????
For the moment i use "xled" for incoming calls and sms ... for all other notification i use "flashme" which also not bad ...if you use the flashlight as notification with a transparent silicon cover for you phone it give a pretty cool effect
I found that the developer of xled provides a newer version that the one which is avialble at the market...
The package was renamed to xled2 ..download from:
http://cassiopea.homelinux.net/android/XLed/
New features are the following:
1. Select Timeframe where the service should run
2. Select Button Light Driver
I use the LG P500 Button on-off driver
I'm very interested about this, i also had the idea a month ago, but i didn't went deeper about
That would be great if it would work with whatsapp or general android notifies

You van try a trick to restore aosp lockscreen: with a file manager for example root explorer, change the name of the screenlock .apk file to apk.bak or what you want and you'll get the default lock screen,

@urobbot... could you verify ..that the version of LG Touch LED Notifications is also working for you?
With the default lockscrenn i have the issue that the led notification starts to flicker ..so doesen´t work very well...
Without any lockscreen enable everything works fine ...
Haven´t test whatsapp right now.. but sms, call, google talk...for talk notification i monitor the google.framework activity.
**Edit: ..whatsapps also working for me...

I tested it with aosp lockscreen restored, and it works fine, also for whatsapp
The only think is that the light of the keys seems dimmer, but it may be just an impression.

Since using cm10 ..LG LED .. is fully working for me... the only issue is that the feedback mode "constant" does not work..which is bad because blinking uses much more battery ...
but with feddback mode "non fading pulse" everything works well... sms call google talk whatsapp
Hi ..
for anyone how would like to give it a shoot ...(if LG LED notification is not working for you)
try
ButtonLED
Setup using "/sys/devices/platform/pmic-leds/leds/button-blacklight/brightness", this is the file that autodiscover suggest to use.
First test only missing calls works for me, so i played around with this tool and notice that i receive every notification if i setup
Turn LED on for : 1s
Then turn it off for : 0s
Permanent Notification : on
This tool capture every notification which is send to statusbar, so don´t forget to enable it in accessibility settings.
To save battery "set up exception" so you cutoff messages you don´t care about.
Hi again...
here is another notification program i tested...works good and is easy to setup.
Only thing you should be aware of is to disable lock screen testing inside the program settings...
Missed Message Flasher
There is also a free version you should test first. But the free version there is limited to a few app notifications
Missed Message Flasher Free
It was great going to try
any news on this? whatsapp notifications still not working
thanks
im going to try the LG notifications 1.2.1 on slim bean

Hi all !
I realy need a WORKING call (and sms maybe) blocker. Don't care if it's free or paid app, i'm ready to spend some money.
I just want that the app redirect unwanted calls directly to my voicemail without ANY ringing.
Can you suggest me some apps ?
Cheers !
If the phone is rooted, any Root call blocker app will work. It's is not rooted, "Droid call blocker Xtreme" works, just go to settings and change to LG mode.
Thx for your reply, but i've already tried a lot of apps (for root or non-root), but they all let the caller ear t least one ringing before go to voicemail or block... I don't want that ringing at all... but don't know if it's possible
That is possible. I've tried Xtreme Call Blocker in boypes modded cm7, worked flawlessly without root. Just try 2-3 apps, play with the block settings.
Call Blocker is working very nice

Hi,
I have a nexus 6 with Afirewall blocker installed with lollipo 5.1 .Before the update when i was on 5.01 i used to be able to type in a code to get to the firewall and see my text and calls that were blocked etc. Now with the update if i have a normal sms come through, once i put the code in , it just takes me to the sms screen and not the Afirewall blocker.
Is there another way to block sms and calls on 5.1?

I haven't found any decent working SMS blocker for Android 5.x... they all need to be your default SMS app which kinda sucks. The only SMS app with a usefull blocking feature is Handcent SMS but it is way too big for a simple SMS app. Textra's blocking feature is really bad and hard to use. Especially when you want to add e.g. 60 numbers to the blacklist.. it will take you.. 1 hour?

I've been looking for a call/SMS announcement app (that will replace the ringtone) that will announce who is calling and texting. I've been using this app on my SGS5, but it doesn't seem to working with 5.0.

Anyone else have other good options?
Thanks,
Subscribed. Would like to know too
I got the app above to work. Gotta make sure and install the Google text to speech app in order for it to work.

Grab Enhanced SMS & Caller ID+
Well worth the money, can announce pretty much any notification from any app and you can even get it to prompt for a voice reply (speech to text) to read the whole message etc. or even reply to it. Unparalleled support from Ed and constantly updated unlike lots of other apps. Used it for years and one of the best apps I have on my phone.
