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.
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 am not receiving voicemail notifications. I contacted tmobile and they tried some stuff including changing out my sim card, but I still don't get notifications. Is anyone else having this issue?
I'm running Nero 4.1.

Why would you let t-mobile touch your phone with modified firmware installed? No issues here with google voice notifications.
I didn't let them touch my phone. Everything they did they did on their end.
Google voice won't work for me. It wont finish the setup.

After you select GV at the voicemail setup screen, it typically would bring you back to the gv app... I'm not sure why it doesn't, but gv voicemail still works.
For me, when I select google voice it brings up a voicemail number box, but it wont let me do anything in it. I tried calling my phone thereafter and it was still my tmobile voicemail. Is there something else I have to do?

You need to replace the Message center number to redirect to GV instead of Tmobile Message center Number
It won't allow me to change the number. Some sort of bug with Nero maybe?

I am trying to get some sort of definitive answer to my problem here. I am running wb tw009 2.2 on my att branded x10. When i tried to setup google voice as my default voicemail, it tells me it was unable to change call forwarding settings. Has anyone else run into this problem, and been able to resolve it? If so, how did you do it? I am able to use it, but it obviously doesn't work properly, because every time I turn my phone on, or lose then regain signal, it tells me that I have a voicemail, even though I do not...

When I set Google Voice to do all calls from the device, the dialer doesn't work, can't make any call, just blinks. Anyone knows how to resolve this?
