I keep trying to use the UK Female voice as my default TTS on my Moto X. I switched it in settings but it still speaks in the US voice. I can switch my default region to UK which then allows the UK voice to work... But then my currencies are converted to pounds and euros.
How do I use the US region but only switch to the UK voice?
Ideas?

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.

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.
Sent from my XT1053
From where I can download the Google voice data UK ??, I got the US version, but need the uk one
Pls help me geeks
Hello, I have used voice on my s2 and s4, but cannot seem to get it working on my 510(sprint/boost).
The website at one point says it works with prepaid, and at another says it doesn't. Curious if anyone has it working. I use it for the visual voicemail, and sprints version costs three dollars a month. I know, cheap, but there you go. Can I do this?
Thanks,
David
I'm using Google Hangouts for calls and texting on my phone (using my google voice number) and it seems to work just great. You just need to download the dialer add-on for hangouts.
Haven't tried the voice app, though.
I ordered a Nexus 6 directly from Google and have been using it on AT&T while I waited for Project Fi approval. I originally requested my invite to Project Fi on August 8 and was approved last night - September 29. I need a few things cleared up related to my Google Voice number as apparently I will 'lose this' if / when I switch to Project Fi.
Here is my current setup / questions. I use Google Voice in this capacity:
- On my cell phone, I make and receive all of my calls within the USA by using my cell number which was provided by AT&T. The 'only' thing I use Google Voice on my phone is for the free long distance calling to Canada. This means when I dial a long distance number to Canada using my cell phone number, it looks like the call is automatically routed through Google's phone exchanges because I have Google Voice configured on my phone (I believe the caller ID on the far end shows my cell phone number - not my Google Voice number).
- I also use my Google Voice for phone service in my home. To explain, I have purchased a OBi110 (from Obihai) and have provisioned this using my Google Voice number - this way I have 'home service'. I basically only use this service to dial into work conference calls, provide this number to my utility companies, my family can use this to make and receive calls when they visit, etc. I also have my Google Voice number set up to simultaneously ring my cell number.
So if I switch to Project Fi, does this mean I can still keep my Google Voice number in my home on OBi110? If I lose the ability to use the Google Voice features on my cell phone (free long distance), but can keep my Google Voice number in my home, that will not be a problem and I will make the switch.
Thanks in advance!
I think the obihai will probably stop working. Long distance rates should be the same as with voice. Check their rates page.
Looks like I have found my answer.... https://support.google.com/fi/answer...802-2991095511.
I will probably create a new Google / Gmail account, move my existing Google Voice number to the new account, and then sign up for Project Fi.
Has anyone been able to get Google Fi and Voice to work?
I have:
Number A (current AT&T cell, forwards to Google Voice/Number B if not answered, willing to port to Google Fi)
Number B (Google Voice: rings BOTH Number A and my SIP phone)
I am happy to use Number A for Google Fi BUT
1. I want Number A to forward to Number B if I don't answer
2. I want Number B to ring BOTH Number A and my SIP phone (Obihai) if called directly
That's a very simple use case. WTF does Google mess this up?
Hi.
I have realme x2 pro 128GB with chinesse rom in english language.I I have installed Google assistant, But I can't activate the assistant with my voice. If I activate it manually, it works perfectly.
In the configuration of the Google assistant it does not let me activate the option of voice Match.
In the mobile configuration of assistive app and voice, I have selected Google as a voice assistant.
Some help? Thanks.
Looks like it's a china ROM issue... I recently had the Hong Kong S10 plus and used English language and got the same issue.
