I switched to Sprint from Verizon. I've been effortlessly using Google Voice to answer/transcribe my calls on the Droid 1, the galaxy nexus and the note 3. Now with sprint + nexus 6,i can install the app but can't get it to answer calls. Ideas?
You use Google hangout to answer calls and see voicemail now. Also get hangouts dialer

Above (zephiK) has provided the direct-VoIP solution, as an alternative, there is the traditional Google Voice solution, which is to actually forward the call to your mobile number. You may have forgotten to update your google voice account settings to add your phone number and enable forwarding. It is also possible that hangouts (application) may be interfering with forwarding, so check the google voice settings in the hangouts application.

does anyone know of any one app that can set only CERTAIN numbers in my contact list to be called using google voice and includes a dialer as well? i'll gladly pay for an app that includes this functionality. i kind of can't believe something like this wasn't included in the stock app?

You can set Google Voice to ask you if you want to use it to make the call every time you try to call someone.
yeah, i had that option selected for a while, but it got to be mega annoying. thanks, though!

Try Voice Plus Free from the market. You have to add which numbers you DO NOT want to call with Google Voice.

Google Voice Dialer
Google Voice Dialer by cpedia mobile claims to be able to do this.
I'm deployed to Afghanistan with no service. I do however have good access to wifi. Is there anyway to use my capitvate to make/receive calls on wifi only.
I'm guessing that google voice (or some other such service) is probably involved. Thanks in advance.
Yes! With a SIP Provider such as Gizmo5 (new signups currently closed), Google Voice, Google Voice Callback, and Sipdroid or CSipSimple it's possible to use only wifi to make calls. I'll post more information soon.
Step 1 - Register for Google Voice
Step 2 - Register for SIP Account (try sipgate) and make sure it has unlimited free incoming calls
Step 3 - Set up your SIP # with Google Voice
Step 4 - Set up the Call Back app with your google voice info
Step 5 - Set up your SIP application with information from your SIP Provider
Step 6 - Toggle Call Back, Dial Out, Accept the incoming call and wait for the other person to answer!
I think this covers it. I haven't used this set up in a while and I might be missing some information. Let me know if you have any questions.
You could also use netTalk or skype both available in the market.
And thanks for your service to this great country of ours!

Yes! Thanks so much for serving it means a lot. Stay safe.
Att does not support calls and texts through wifi like t mobile. So you will have to use a 3rd party app like google voice as others have said

what about skype?
You can do this..
Download an app called line 2. Its free calls and texts through 3g or wifi and its 10 bucks a month. Not bad for unlimited.
Just in case you don't know...the new Hangouts Dialer app is out and if you've enabled Google Voice on your Sprint account...VOILA!! WIFI calling.
Just tried on my Nexus 7 and it works great. Calls going to my Sprint number are routed to the tablet also. If I don't have data but still have service (Wild and Wonderful West Virginia)...the calls still go to my phone.
Ok so a little update...
I received the message to allow hangouts to basically replace the google voice app. Hangouts is faster than the gvoice app every was..which is good. Also consumes less battery.
However, if I don't have data or WiFi I can't send texts from hangouts even though it's my default app for messaging. If I don't have data I have to use the stock messenger. Which isn't exactly a problem...just wanted to state the fact.
Texts and calls work on my nexus 7. Voice quality seems fine even tho I have DSL at home.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
Under settings>SMS and settings>[your email here] you can control whether texts are sent from gvoice or your regular phone number [emoji106]
Every time I make outgoing calls on my tablet, the caller ID shows up as unknown. Also, how can I send sms through tablets?
Settings, email, and then look under Google Voice section to enable messages.
My caller ID is working just fine from my tablet. I'm sure there's going to be kinks that need worked out. I've had random issues with GV for years lol

I think this problem correlates with 6.0 but I've not had a problem with Google voice voicemail getting my incoming calls since the droid 2 on Verizon. Even though it always it can't be set up automatically, it always worked, until recently. The Google support page for Google voice voicemail is a waste....ideas?

Take a look in Phone App, Settings, Calls, Voicemail, Service. Make sure GV is selected as your Voicemail service.

Ok, I've been in phone sales for over a decade and I've been rooting and modding phones for almost as long.....I'm looking at systemic problems here....I know how this should work.....I'm asking of anyone else has this problem and if so how they fixed it if at all.

If you are having trouble configuring Google voicemail on Verizon, you can make the switch manually by dialing these three activation codes:
*71[Your Google Voice number]
*90[Your Google Voice number]
*92[Your Google Voice number]

Anyone here on DOK2 also a Google voice user?
I am having a strange issue when trying to "Call with google voice".
The call start during the prompt where you choose whether to "call with google voice" or "call without google voice" instead of waiting till you choose one of the options.
Because of this it always calls without google voice.
To all DOK2 Google voice users, your feedback is valuable.
Maybe you should update to Google Hangouts. It works perfectly for both texts and calls. I haven't touched Google Voice since I started using Hangouts.

Oh yeah dude, 100%. When you log in with your Google account, it will automatically use the Google Voice number associated with that account. And you can do text and group messaging, mms, video hangouts, and voip calls all through the one app.

Yeah Google voice # plus hangouts is a great combo.
I can confirm, it dials straight out with your carrier number no matter what option you choose. Hopefully there will be a fix.

Use hangouts dialer. It will call out from Google voice numbers. I use it every day. On newest DOK build.

I understand that. I have a voip pbx server setup. I would like to use the minutes which are allotted to me each month. Using Hangouts doesn't help with that.
I appreciate the reply, I'm just confirming that there is an issue.

R u calling over seas? Using hangouts with a google voice number, has unlimited calling between USA, Canada, and Mexico.
Unless you are running a call center I don't see the need for the pbx server setup anymore.
Using hangouts limits me to just my cell phone. All the extensions in my home are setup with voip.
have some problem too here is a work around for now. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/voice/7v4o62rCRfI;context-place=starred
T-Mobile - Note 4/5/Edge - Update to 5.1.1 - Error on outgoing calls with Google Voice by setarcoS Dec 1
ADD A REPLY
Original Post: I'm on a Samsung Note 4 that was just upgraded to 5.1.1, and now when I attempt to make outgoing calls, I get "call not sent" and the call automatically gets made with my regular carrier number. I am still able to send/receive text messages, and check on voicemail's.
I tried rebooting, clearing the app cache/data, removing the sim, changing networks and nothing - the same error "call not sent" keeps appearing.
I've been using google voice for many years now since invites went out and never had this issue when changing phones.
Need help figuring out what is going on.
Device: Samsung Note 4
OS: Android 5.1.1
Network: T-mobile network
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Devices affected: Note 4, Edge, Galaxy S5, Note 5
Status: Waiting for a fix.
Work around #1: Connect through Google Voice (via Sheelendra Singh)
Dial your GV number
Hit the asterisk (*) key when the GV greeting comes on (skip this if you set your phone to go directly to voicemail access)
Enter your PIN, then pound (#)
Press 2 to place a call
Enter the phone number followed by pound (#)
Work Around #2: Dial through Hangouts
On your Android device, open the Hangouts Dialer app .
Type the person's name or phone number, and select them from the search results. Or to dial a number, touch the dial pad icon Dial pad icon at the bottom of the screen. Then dial the phone number you'd like to call, and touch the phone icon .
Work Around #3: Dial through web browser on phone (via Nick the greek 123)
1. Go to Web browser on your phone
2. Go to https://voice.google.com and sign in
3. Use the dial key pad provided.
4. When you dial the number google voice will call you first from your google number, answer it to connect to the number you dialed.
Work Around #4: Force calls through (via Steven McDonnough)
1. GoogleVoice has to be set to "Always Ask"
2. You have to set "Power Button" to end calls (Settings -> Personalization -> Accessibility -> Answering and ending calls -> End calls by Pressing the Power key)
3. Once you place the call, immediately hit the POWER BUTTON THEN quickly hit "Use GV". That will end the direct dial from your phone AND enable the GoogleVoice dialer.
Things you can do to help:
Contact T-Mobile and help make them aware of what is going on.
- Ask to be transferred to "tech support department."
- Explain the issue and tell them there is already an existing ticket for this known issue.
For all who call support and they ask you to uninstall, reinstall, factory reset, clear cache, etc. Don't bother. It won't help. These are irrational, standard support scripts used when they don't nearly understand the cause nor the solution.
Log into https://voice.google.com and use the "Send Feedback" link at the bottom left of the page" to help make them aware of what is going on.
Contact Samsung support and help make them aware of what is going on.
If you contact T-Mobile, Samsung, or Google Voice, be sure to mention this thread:

PaulisHere contacted T-Mobile and filed a report regarding the issue. They recommended everyone with the same issue contact them and mention this reference number to add them to the ticket: 745440721951644352 (my t-mobile rep couldn't find the ticket as they are normally 10 digits long)
I contacted T-Mobile and they said they are working with Samsung and Google (Android OS I presume) and are hoping for a patch/fix within 7-10 business days.

I also have this problem. I don't like having to use the hangouts dialer, but, it's what I have to do for now.
I called Tmo biz class support and as expected they were useless and are pointing fingers at Samsung and GV.
I called Samsung support and as expected they were useless and are pointing fingers at GV.
Contacting Google's support is harder than shouting into a black hole.
Anyone else have any idea about this?
I notice that TEKXodus has the a new dialer that is video calling capable and Google voice works properly.
