Posting this to see if anyone else has this, and if any one knows how to make it work.
I use Google Voice for my international calls, but after the upgrade the dialer takes over, Google voice can not be used to "only make international calls"
i have to use "ask for every call" which is not the best solution.
[EDIT] that option does not work either
I'm having the exact same problem.
I even made several international phone calls, thinking that maybe Google Voice was running in the background... now I'll get hit with the charges for international calls from AT&T :s
Any solution to this problem?
I'm using the X10i 2.1 Global firmware on a X10a (AT&T)
hope this helps

Looks like as sony do not use default dialer it is going to be a problem

unfortunately the suggested process does not work
I found a way to make calls by google voice. I went to the browser, went to the google voice website, and from there, I placed the call. Then I received the phone call from my google number, and it connected me to the number I was calling.
It's more troublesome than just using the app, but it is a workaround.
Any other ideas or solutions?

When you do that, aren't you still using the GSM network and your sim card to have the call connected?
I am having identical problems (2.1 Nordic) and trying to use google voice over WiFi to avoid using network minutes but Sony's dialer takes over... hopefully sony or GV will update and fix this real soon... very frustrating

I use Google Voice for international calls... so I'm still using my GSM minutes, but just as a local call, not with international rates.
Have same problem. Cost me one expensive international phone call.
Generic FW, Build 2.0.A.0504 - X10i/ATT USA
GV screen comes up, then native dialer takes over. Have used workaround posted above, but naturally would just like to be able to use it as intended.
Just a heads up to anyone who has updated to 2.1.
I have the Rogers 2.1 and using AT&T as the carrier. GV does not work for ANY of my outgoing phone calls even when I specify to use GV only.
If the issue is SE's dialer, is there a way to revert back to the generic dialer?
Thanks
I'm also having this issue, only after recently upgrading my X10 to the generic 2.1 software. I wonder if anyone has found a solution yet?
I've had this problem since day 1, since I'm from Canada and use my GV to call my american / long distance friends. I have had to use the website workaround since day one, and it really bugs me. When I was working from the iPhone app, it worked properly (call me, then call the number I'm trying to call). Since switching to my X10a, I can't have it just call me, it uses the dialer directly.
So, I use up about 100-200k of my data plan to make the call. Not a big deal, just kind of annoying.

OK, I got a real nice surprise today when I saw in my phone bill that i had been dialing internationally through my wireless provider even though "google voice" would pop up on my phone since it is set to be used for ALL international calls. I now set it to ask before dialing, but I go check my call history in google voice and I have no calls made... WTF????
same
I had the same problem with $160 surprise bill.
Thank you very much!
It seems that the calls dialed out are just not going out through GV - regardless if they were local or international.
I called a friend's phone from my GV and my regular cell number shows despite asking it to dial all calls. While the phone shows that google voice is dialing out, it's just your phone dialing.
WTF, stuck with a very high bill now. Who is to blame? SE, ATT, GV?
I am out of the country at the moment and cannot check but I saww Google voice was updated, maybe it works after this update.

Unfortunately you. The best way to ensure gv is being used is to make calls from the browser. I have had ongoing problems with the app.
Instead I created an icon on my nineteen with gv as the bookmark. When I hit it, it goes straight to the gv call screen. It ain't pretty but it works.

That is a snarky answer. I never ever had a problem with GV on 1.6 from March to October of this year, and from what I read it was even more integrated in 2.1, why would I assume a Google App would not work properly when it pops up when I make an international call? Thank you for the workaround though.
Sorry, I didn't mean for it to come across that way :-( .
I agree I did expect the same as you. When I got stung it was around $300 more than my bill normally was. Calling my buddy in Cali at 35 cents a minute flat!
The only way I have found to be sure is the browser way and only because you are receiving a call. IMO gv should have some sort of pre-ring notification to verify it's operating.
Has anybody had the same problem after upgrading to 2.1?
I get to option when I pick the international number in the phone book but then it makes the call without using google voice even if I pick the option to make it WITH google voice.
You mean you were able to under 1.6?
Google Voice may need a US proxy if you're outside the US.
for me it was useless under 1.6 and it's no better under 2.1
just a headsup
Making phone calls using Google voice does not work with the 2.1 update for the Xperia. It does not matter whether you want use Google voice to make all calls or international only. Somehow SE's software engineers changed the dial app in such a way that Google Voice does not work directly anymore.
Someone suggested a work around by going to the web browser and using Google voice through the browser to connect your phone calls (that is, have GV call your phone before connecting you to the other party).
On the other hand, the 2.1 update for the X10 allows me to use the Skype app over wifi here in the U.S. (something that my new Samsung Captivate cannot do). Oh well.
I have tmobile branded amaze 4g. Wanted to know if it is possible to use wifi direct calling over my local wifi with another amaze 4g without the tmobile sim? As I am not on the tmobile network.
Wifi calling is only for tmobile users.

So even if we go onto a custom rom we cant do it?
Nope. You'd need to use grooveip (uses your google voice account) or similar apps.
Can't use SIP Provider

So I just got my phone a week ago and played with stock before going straight to CM10. I went back to stock because of some issues I was having.
In stock, I set up Google Voice on the phone as well as the Internet Call Settings in the dialer with SipGate as my provider. I have SipGate set to receive calls only and Google Voice for all outgoing calls.
My expectation was that I could go to the dialer and dial any # through Google Voice using my wifi at home or whereever, just not using any cellular services.
If I go to the Google Voice site and call from there, it does ring my phone (to bridge that connection) since I have SipGate set up to receive the forwarded call. I just can't call out from the phone.
From what I'm gathering for your reply is that even though I have Google Voice set to make calls through the phone, you're saying it won't work?? What is it about Groove IP that allows you to make calls with the dialer that Google Voice cannnot even though it's settings has that option?
It boggles the mind...
Oh and I went back to CM10 just to see if it was an issue with stock. Stock would start to dial, but exit immediately. I think I saw a little notice about service being out of range or something (again, no SIM). I actually did get a free TMo SIM that I used on my old Nokia XpressMusic 5800, but left it unactivated. A SIM was required to use some features.
In CM10, it doesn't even start to dial, but just says "Mobile network not available" even though I set Google Voice to make the outgoing call.
Hello everyone,
I am rooted and locked runinng MOF 2.3.5 ish v2.0.
Yesterday AM I started receiving an error (unable to send text) when trying to send texts through GO SMS. I also received the same error when using the stock messaging app. Then I discovered I was also not receiving texts. I can send and receive texts through Google Voice. I integrated my Google number with Sprint several months ago. I had made no changes to Google voice settings, or my text settings in several months. This just came out of the blue.
I tried restoring a backup from Titanium, that did not work. I tried de-linking Google voice from my phone and that did not work. I uninstalled GO SMS- still nothing. I have since re-linked Google voice to my Sprint # as it is the only way I have of receiving my messages.
Today I called Sprint. After a few tests with no luck, they instructed me to accept the OTA 2.3.5 update. They claim that one of the issues fixed in this OTA update was a fix of this "known issue with SMS". I told them I did not want to do that because it would perma lock my boot loader. They also suggested having them de-link Google Voice from my Sprint #. They said that if they de-linked Google Voice, I would not be able to re-link Google voice to my number later and that was a "known issue" with Google.
So, I have 3 options...
1) Keep it as is until upgrade time, but of course Google Voice does not have MMS support. And Google Voice leaves a lot to be desired with SMS threading and customization.
2) Take the OTA upgrade and "hope" it solves my texting issue, but of course that opens another can of worms with the bootloader.
3) Have them de-link Google Voice and hope that works. However, I enjoy having one number when I travel, etc. And if it doesn't work, according to them I wont be able to re-sync and then I will not have any access to my texts.
Has anyone else ran into this issue? I didnt see the exact issue in a Google search.
Thanks in advance
I also use Google voice to manage/backup my voicemails and texts remotely. I hate the google voice app. I only use it in it rare situations where I have no signal and no roaming available, but have wifi.
This has happened to me a couple times, I'll notice my gvoice has texts that my phone never received via SMS.
What is your preffered network set to? I've noticed my prefered network mode changes mysteriously on this phone. I'll just set it back normal and all my missed sms come flooding in.

Thanks for the reply. I normally set to automatic. I just checked and it was changed to any cmda. I will play with the options and see if that helps. Thanks again.
type in *#*#4636#*#* on the phone dialer

Hello, it was on CDMA Auto (prl). What do you generally set yours on for domestic use?
Your answer got me thinking. Saturday afternoon I removed a sim card from another country because I was here in the us and didn't need it. So when I got home I put the sim card back in and switched network to automatic and then all my texts arrived. Thanks again :thumbup:
I'm only going to be able to get it if it works on Verizon since I'm in a combined plan with my family in the US. If it is possible what version of the phone would it be, from research I've seen some sites saying it works and others saying it doesn't. It seems that the Chinese version for sure doesn't, but I hope others will, thanks!
I'm using the Chinese model on Verizon right now. Voice call won't work, but you can use it with data. Once the SIM is insert, wait for about 5-10 min, it will pick up Verizon signal. After that you will have to go into *#*=4636#*#* and set it to CDMA/LTE or LTE only for it to work with data. I'm using it with Google "hang out and hang out dialer" to make voip call (works flawlessly, the sound is just like regular phone call). Make sure to set hang out to always running in the back ground and LOCK it in the recent running app. and of course, all notification on.
Good luck!

So can I use my Verizon number as my google hangouts/dialer number? Does everyone I know have to switch to google hangouts over texting? Do I have to give everyone I know a new phone number that is google hangouts/dialer? Do texts go to google hangouts and you can respond to them there (the people don't have google hangouts)?
EDIT: Yes, No, No, Yes

You can have your Verizon number forward to hang out number and everyone can call you on that. They don't have to switch, texting with hang out is like normal. You can give your hang out phone number only for texting, because you cannot forward text message. In short, it is not a seamless transition. If you do not want to use 2 separate numbers, the only way is to give everyone the new hangout number for both call and text

This is all true; however, you can port your Verizon number to Google voice (including google messenger and dialer) for a one time $20 fee; a.k.a keep your number but use google instead of Verizon.
