Ok, so I flashed Darchdroid (the newest version 2.7 i think?) and now i dont have voicemail. i really liked the stock voicemail app, is it possible to get this again? if not, does anyone know how to get google voice to take all of your voicemails instead of just the ones to your google voice number?
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps!

another option would be to look 4 posts down from yours in Q&A. im running 2.7 as well and this worked awesome for me. i like the sprint vvm. google voice simply did not work with my cell number. it worked for awhile then just stopped. very weird. did the forwarding and settings all correct and just says "unable to connect the call" when i call my cell from another number. pissed me off. good luck.

That's weird, man. It works great with my phone. Nice link, though. I'm glad to hear it worked. It's always nice to have a choice.
My google voice started doing that took. But I logged I on my pc, and created a google voice number, and no issues. I had never set one up since I was only using voice mail. Now it works fine, and I didn't even have to give anyone my gv number

help a brother out, how is that again? i have a gv number that i forward my cell number to *28850xxxxxxx and a separate one for my voicemail set in the phone but evertime i call my cell # from another phone it says unable to connect call. let me know what you did. thx.
EDIT: Oh I think i see what you mean now. i'll try that. i guess i just assumed that *28850xxxxxxx# was my gv #. thx
yeah, just choose your own google voice number with your own area code, and then when you open google voice on your voice, it will automatically change over, then you just have to dial the *28xxxxxxxxxx code, and good to go
Just recently started using GV for my voicemails (TMO)
Loved it...
My problem is that I only use my GV number for specific functions/people.
If I missed an incoming call it was easy to tell if the person was calling my cel or my GV. But with GV as my VM service I cant differentiate.
All my calls now appear in the GV app. Is there anyway to figure out which number the person is trying to reach while still using GV as my VM ?
No, and why should it? As long as they're contacting you, why does it matter which number they're dialing?

What you cold do (just speculation) is have a forwarding app that separates via contacts, if XYZ contact calls you then it conditional forwards it to your GV voicemail other wise if ABC contact calls then it routes you to your default VM. Im not sure there is an app to do this but i cant imainge there not being a call forwarding app.

Then why have 2 numbers since theyre just dialing me anyways ?
Some people I will pick up for others I will send to VM. Id like to know who the new number is trying to reach my "work" persona or my "home" persona.
Ill look into call forwarding.
This would be moot if Tmo visual voicemail worked over wifi or GV had the same bubble for incoming as it does for outgoing.
Toktumi has finally released their Line2 app for android. I've been using it for a couple of months with my iPod touch 4G and love it. I tried it with the G tablet and it fully works. You pay a monthly fee and you get a phone number with unlimited calls and text in the US and Canada I think. Yes you can make and recieve calls and texts using your tablet! Go check it out they offer a 30 day free trial.

Does not show up on Market. Where else can we find the .apk?
Thanks
I think that it's "tOktumi" (http://toktumi.com/)?
Jim
I'm going to check this out
Many of us would like to check it out, but is it showing up in Market for anyone? If so, can someone post it somewhere (free apk)
Thanks
what is the diff between this and google voice?
Google voice lets you send and receive text using your tablet. However, when somebody calls your Google voice number the call gets automatically redirected to the phone number(s) you linked GV to. Line2 gives you a unique telephone number so when somebody texts or calls you, your tablet gets the actual call. Line2 also lets you forward calls to any number but you have to manually set it up in the app preferences.
PM me if you have any other questions.

Hi,
I just installed sipdroid, and it created a pbxes.org acct, and I can call out, but called party can hear me, but I can't hear them. Any ideas how to fix this?
Also on the sipdroid website, it has screenshots, showing a dialpad, but I only get 2 text boxes, for # to call, and 'called address'?
Pressing on the icon on upper right, I get an FC.

Answering my 1st question, after establishing a call, I press menu, then 'speakers', and then I can hear.
Also tried w Bluetooth headset, and that worked.
Still no keypad though.

Fyi, I just figured out how to get incoming call working also. What I had to do was go to Google.com/voice, login, and under settings>>phones check the Google chat checkbox. After that incoming calls to my Google voice # come to sipdroid on my gtab. So now I can do both incoming and outgoing calls with sipdroid!

That seems like a separate problem (BT headset connecting), so you might be better off posting a question about that separately, probably in the General forum. I think I've seen some threads about BT connecting there, so you may want to search there 1st. I'm on stock TNT still, but maybe it may depend on which firmware you have also.

Are you sure that you entered your google voice number properly in the forwarding options? I had trouble for the first few hours, but called T-mobile and they checked the forwarding settings... now it works properly.
In the call log, you will see only a missed call. The message itself will only show up in your gmail list, and the browser version of google voice... I think.? There is also a stand-alone .apk app for gVoice, available in the play store]

I am sure ebbed it right as it works just fine for calls. But in a 4.1 I believe they added the option to have your vm show up in the call log to listen to only. This worked fine on my n4. And the option is selected in the stand alone app.

I'm having some strange issues with GV on my Z1S. Just switched to T-Mobile last week and immediately made GV my voicemail. I removed my number from the website and re-added it, went through the prompts, and got the forwarding working. Now, I have 2 strange issues:
1. All the time the phantom voicemail icon will appear on my phone. I force quit "phone" (the app) and it goes away, but it'll show up sometime tomorrow or when I reboot my phone or something.
2. The GV voicemail seems to work intermittently (may have some effect on #1). Meaning, someone will call me and tell me they left a message, but the message is no where to be found. My theory is the forwarding didn't kick in, the message went to T-Mobile voicemail, and the phantom icon appeared. However, I can't yet confirm that.
Anyone dealing with either of these issues?
Is there a way to check my T-Mo voicemail after I've set everything up with google voice?
Thanks.
Same issues am having. For number 1 i am going to try and reset my number from the website.
For number 2 I just disabled the option to see vm in the call log.
The Phantom vm is tmobile picking up and then GV taking over so essentially a vm on each. It's annoying

I am seeing an issue with my new Mix when trying to place a phone call with the Google Voice app set for GV to make all calls. The animation to go to dialer appears and very quickly you can see the call start to be placed but then it closes and returns you to precious screen.
Anyone else seeing tgs, afraid GV is a must have for me so going to have to eBay the phone (love it otherwise) if no solution. Tried clearing app, reinstalling, and all the settings I can think of but all to no avail.
I have MIUI global v8.0 (8.0.7.0.0 MAHCNDI). Localization set to China, nothing else seems like a better option, so left it but changing didn't make any difference.

Sucks, love the phone but can't give up my Google voice for it. Anyone have an idea for a workaround/fix?

I can verify GV doesn't work on making calls on the EU rom either. Will report back down the road once there are updated weekly EU roms available from MIUI / xiaomi.
I heard someone who did the Hangouts transition say it works for GV calls. I haven't ever done the Hangouts transition simply because it doesn't seem to carry text messages forward and I prefer having them all in on place rather than having old messages in GV app and new ones in Hangouts.

Hey I have a Mate 8 with the same issue (mix on the way tho) and as I was investigating I read somewhere that most Chinese made phones have this issue. The only real workaround is to set gv to ask every time. It sounds annoying at first but it's less annoying then my calls not going thru or people asking what number is this (because they don't recognize my actual cell number). It has something to do with the timing of the handoff from gv to cellular. I have not had any issues once it asks call with/without gv. I would suggest giving this a shot.
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-AL10 using Tapatalk
Curious, never tried the ask every time setting. Things worked fine e if I did the hangouts dial and set Hangouts to get GB calls and texts. On this Mate 9 (Chinese version) it works fine set to make all calls.
Sent from my Huawei Mate 9 using XDA Labs
This bug persists
On both the Chinese ROM and the EU ROM, using GV to make calls causes the dialer/phone app to crash, always. "Ask every time" causes it to crash as well.
I use hangouts to make outgoing calls. Google Voice itself is still capable of forwarding incoming calls to my phone's actual number (one I never use), so the actual phone app accepts any and all incoming calls. However, I have to dial out using Hangouts (kind of annoying).
So now I use hangouts for everything phone-function related on my end, and have the actual contacts app and phone app squirreled away somewhere where it won't accidentally get used (unless I want to). The only downside (I like Hangouts, but that might be a problem for some), is that my outgoing calls use VOIP (data). It's almost a nonissue, but it would be nice if MIUI worked with GV the way American android builds do.
Curiously, yesterday GV make all calls stopped working for me and I had to set to ask every time. Then today ask every time stopped working. I went round and round uninstalling contacts and diapers and hangouts. Finally got it all working setting hangouts dialer as default dialer and GV make every call. Workable, but would prefer regular Google dialer and GV but tried APKs from APK Mirror for last few versions of Google dialer and they won't install, v7 says parse error and v6 says folder expected not found. Ugh. Anyways, at least it is working now.

I finally received my phone and I am seeing the same as you guys, can only make gv calls with hangouts dialer. I'm getting sick of Google's lack of support for GV and am giving real consideration to just porting my number out. Smh I've had gv since it came out.
FYI: If you're using the hangouts dialer then you don't even need the gv app anymore. #ijs

Actually, my understanding is for Hangouts to use Google Voice for calls and/or messages you still need the GV app installed and logged in.
Agree on Google's lack of support. It is platform wide, they just do the in favor and out of favor thing too much. If/when they kill GV I will be killing my g-apps and moving to O365 anyways, only reason I use Google-sphere extensively is GV. Everything else can be gotten elsewhere and is generally better elsewhere at that.

I have Mi Note 2 Global Edition with stock ROM MIUI 8.0.13. Using phone dialer with Voice+ app to initiate call back doesn't work either
Of course I can call using Hangout with data, but I prefer call via cellular tower due to sound quality and price (free incoming call). I have found a workaround:
(1) Open google.com/voice with browser (such as chrome) on the phone. It should be redirected to mobile version.
(2) Specify a callback #
(3) Call a # using the dialer in the browser
After (3), it will initiate a callback to the # in (2)
add me to the club...picked up the Mate 9 yesterday and now, not being able to use GV on the Mate 9 is a show-stopper for me. this is a great phone, but i'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to dependent on my GV number.
I "migrated" over to Google Hangouts for my GV #. I've downloaded Hangouts dialer app and it's linked to the GV #. I'm able to call from the Hangouts dialer no problems.

sure, glad to help. It should be a VOIP call. You'll note that it says that you're calling from your VOIP number. Check the settings in hangouts on which default number it uses. Also, if you switch over to hangouts for texting, you might notice your contacts not "syncing". That's actually not what's going on, it's just the way the phone is reading the stored numbers. If you have questions, I can put in the steps to get that converted fairly painlessly.
I have other issues w/ google on how it's handling hangouts in the past and future. When they abandoned GV, hangouts was the only place to go for the VOIP #. Messenger, Duo and Allo do not have integration w/ the GV #. Hangouts used to be better. But you don't have a hangouts web portal (only for text and MMS) to put in a phone number and have it call you at your cell or elsewhere. But the GV portal is still available for the time being.

Why not switch to GV in hangouts? It is better in every regard... and you can use the hangouts dialer.
I do to an extent as I have too. But Hangouts is annoying in a few ways, that is why it failed and is being retooled as Enterprise app.
