Remember when Google and Sprint went through that Integration a while back? Well this is where it takes affect!
If you Blindly Install Google Voice like many of you flashaholics do you probably misses an important but subtle step cause you the following issues:
1. All MMS/SMS are being handled through GV
2. All Out going phone calls are your GV#
3. Ass Acne
This is caused by you blindly agreeing to all of this and THIS wil tell you how to fix it (no ass acne solution yet... i think there is a tread in DEV section working on this)
1. UNINSTALL GOOGLE VOICE FROM YOUR PHONE
2. Jump on your computer (or use yoru phone if you can use the browser like that)
3. Go to Google.com/voice and sign in and jump to your Voice Settings
4. Now next to your number you want to click the DEACTIVATE SPRINT AND GOOGLE INTEGRATION (or something along those lines)
5. Back on your phone Download the GV app AND WAIT TO OPEN IT!!! YOU WANT TO READ THIS BEFORE YOU BLINDLY INSTALL AGAIN!!!!
6. Now when you first open the app THE FIRST screen you will be promted to integrate your sprint and google number...
7. "Tap 'Next' to complete the Sprint integration, or 'Skip' to complete the regular Google Voice setup."
8. I hope everyone who was complaining chose SKIP
9. Continue to install GV the way you remembered
10. ????
11. PROFIT
If you have any questions please PM or post it here
REMEMBER TO THANK IF THIS HELPED YOU!!!!
Or... Take the time to setup integration correctly and don't bother using the GV app any longer.
Seriously considering this myself. But I really like the integration... I was aware it did this since I had the same issues on my O.G. Evo. Google needs to just step up and make a way for us to turn off the MMS/Text. Or at the very least refine it because it handles them like garbage...
If you integrate using option 1 (Use your sprint number as your GV) and Don't use the GV app, then correct your settings on the GV site, you get MMS, etc, plus all the goodies of GV integration.
It seems to be working fine for me.
All sms is handled by the GV app and if I get any mms, it goes to the stock messaging app. Is that not what others are seeing?

Others want their stock text app to handle sms which it can if you tell Google Voice app to let text messages through.

Doesn't it unlink your Sprint number from being your GV number then?

No. Remember, you can use Google Voice integration even on phones that don't HAVE a Google Voice app. It really works server-side, and the app is just a client to the service they provide.
Yes but the thing that made the Sprint/Google voice integration unique was that you replaced your google voice number with your sprint number. You essentially only have one number now, which I like. If I deactivate this service, I'd have to go back to having two numbers, as far as I can tell. So that's the reason it's a tough decision for me, unless I'm totally missing something...
You can go through your desktop and turn off text through tv on your device.

I'm sorry but that doesn't make sense. Could you please clarify?
Sorry I meant gv. Go on the online gv page. And you can alter how your device receives texts. I thought mms cannot come through gv

I still can't get it to work the way I think most people including myself do.
I want to be able to have the voicemails downloaded directly to my phone meaning not just a text notification, not dialing my number to hear them, just pressing play to hear them. And I'd like them transcribed too.
And for the texts I want them to go to either my default texting app or another app of my chosing but not the GV app.
And I want to maintain the tight integration with my Sprint #, meaning Sprint # = my GV #. Someone lay out the steps to achieve this exactly and I'll gladly donate $10

There's a catch, as with anything. If you turn your sprint # into your GV number (option 1), you get MMS, you get SMS, you don't need the GV app, but it kinda ties to to sprint pretty much. If you ever change you're going to PAY to port your number IF you even can.
If you choose to use your GV number as your sprint number, (option 2) you'll lose MMS and the other drawback is billing. The unlimited mobile to mobile database is tied to prefixes so sprints lookup routines won't be able to figure this out and you'll use your minutes.
Seems like they only added option #2 for folks that gave out their GV number to everyone and not their cell. Fortunately I was NOT one of those that "fully" shared my GV number.
If you go option #1 for full integration, you'll lose your GV number as your sprint cell number becomes your new GV number. You'll have to set the settings that your number is ALSO a cell and to send texts to it from the GV website.
MMS and SMS will go right to whatever SMS program you choose to use (I use handcent) You will NOT want to install GV app on your phone at this point, but do make sure you set up the GV web to also text you or email you when you get a voicemail. <- important step, or you may not get any notices since that's what the GV app also does and you didn't install it.
How I have it setup is I have call groups, friend lists and time schedules.
Work and family in my list is allowed to call me after 11pm. Nobody else.
Work rings both my home phone and cell between 8-5:30 pm, then only my cell after that.
I also have 2 telemarketers blocked from the GV site as well.
GV is pretty powerful IF you use it and you configure it correctly. there are folks that hooked up VOIP devices that also share the same line where they can make/receive calls through that, all using the GV single line.
You will have a miserable time if you don't set it up correctly or just install the GV app and don't pay attention. <--- do NOT be this person!!!! hahahaa

This is pretty much where I am now. I decided that taking texts out of the GV app was more imporant than voicemail for now. The major drawback to this set up is that although you get a text notifying you of the voicemail, which will include a transcription, you can't actually listen to voicemail unless you are using the GV app or you call your own number and log in. Sprint's voicemail app will not pick it up
I've never played with the voicemail piece. Never used VVM either. I always just dial my number and enter my password (from the phone) or open it in my email.
BUT, I get like 1 voicemail message a month IF I'm lucky.
Can't direct you with voicemail. But to me, the other features are more important as my cell is also my work #.
Is there any way to get the GV app to display on the lockscreen like the stock SMS app does? The only problem I have with using the GV app is that I lose this functionality.
Ok I am that guy. I set up GV blindly and now I can not get any texts sms or mms and I can not make any phone calls or receive. I know I am an idiot for not reading but I did not realize that it was changed. Can anyone help, PLEASE?
Edit: Not sure what happend but after lossing all data I now have my phone back.
Trying to use default messaging to send texts thru GV w/o a carrier plan. Is that possible?
Right now when I text a GV number from messaging it uses a carrier sms, but if I do it thru GV app it uses data...hoping there is a way to make GV default 'carrier' for sms thru messaging app,
Gv and messaging app are completely separate. There is no way to intermingle them.

Is there any work being done on this?
I'm coming from a jailbroken iPhone with the GV SMS Extension, which seamlessly blended Google Voice SMS into the stock messaging app.
Right now I am able to receive SMS in the stock messaging app but it doesn't show the sender's name; rather, just a string a weird numbers. If i reply, i am sending via GV so that's good.
I remember when a friend showed me his phone, he had the option when sending an SMS of 'Send with GV' or 'Send with regular number'. That would be nice, but i can't find that option anywhere
I believe that setting is accessed through a web browser in google voice under settings.

I believe this option is for adjusting the outgoing caller ID number when you send texts via Google voice. To my knowledge there is no way to integrate gv text messages into other messaging apps in android without also using carrier SMS. I really hope I'm wrong as I would really like to integrate them into gosms. I have sent them a feature request, but it is my understanding that Google needs to open up an api before this will be possible.

Its called google voice integration and actually sprint has this already i really.wish att did. If u have sprint u down load google voice app and it integrates in to your phone can even use your number or chose a diff google voice number . And even if u have no service and your connected to wifi you can text with googlevoice
App even without service. I have it setup on my old sprint phone with no service its disconnected yet if i connect to wifi i can still send and recieve texts with googlevoice app on that phone.
Sprints the only.one to have this currently but i hope att eventually does. You dont have to use wifi but just saying u can. I had no service in my house with sprint but didnt have to wory about missing texts just had to be on my wifi. And i set this up for my woman too on her sprint phone since she has no service in our appartment either. So glad i jumped too att i always have service
Is the Sprint Google Voice integration reliable? Google Voice is completely flaky for me regardless of ROM. It stops receiving texts, I can't send texts, etc. It was the same on my iPhone as well with two different apps. Very frustrating.
So I have a GV account and rarely use it. Today I decide to check the app out and install it. On the setup screen I don't recall the exact option I selected but I thought I selected the option to use my primary number instead of GV.
Now, when I'm sending messages people are receiving them with my GV number and they are not showing up in the native messaging app. However when I log in to GV they shoe up there.
How do I fix so if I send a msg from my EVO that number will show and not my GV... errrr sorry but I haven't been keeping up with the sprint/gv integration

Have you considered just merging both numbers and making your Sprint number become your GV number? This would solve that problem unless you were wanting to keep them separate, in which case, follow the advice above.
Basically I'm trying to get my Wife/teens to stop using carrier text messaging without having to explain to them how to use two different applications to send texts.
Doesn’t have to be Google voice, really any app that will act as the default messaging app and when texts come in over the Verizon number and they reply to the text the recipient gets the “free” text number to respond to will work – Gvoice just seemed like the easy choice.
I've done quite a bit of research and cannot seem to find a clear answer so I'm hoping someone here had come across this. What I'm looking to do is change the reply-to number that gets sent to text message recipients from the default messaging app, Go SMS or Handcent SMS. What I do NOT want to do is have two separate text messaging apps. I want all texts to come from one application.
The idea here is to avoid paying Verizon text messaging charges and eventually block carrier text messaging altogether by using Google voice to send/receive all SMS.
Ideally this is how it would work - When a friend sends me a txt using my Verizon number I get a notification. I click reply and then press send and one of two things happens:
1. Instead of sending the text over Verizon’s network the text automatically sends it through Google voice and my friend sees my Google voice number and replies to it, essentially encouraging them to use the new phone number but seamless from my perspective.
2. Another alternative is to send the text message over Verizon’s SMS network but have the reply-to number be my Google voice number so when they reply it will go through Google voice.
While #1 will more quickly reduce the number of text messages sent through the carrier network what's most important is I'm using the same app for all texting.
I don't mind purchasing an app that can do this either.
I using a rooted Galaxy Nexus if that helps.
no app can do what u want sorry
My last phone was an OG EVO running CM7.2. When someone sent a text message to my GV number, the GV app would sync it to the messaging app so I could use messaging for everything (and never have to open the GV app).
On this new evo, using the default htc/sense messaging app, the text messages look like they come from the GV server and not the original sender. This means that even though my friend's number is in my contact list, the messaging app can't display the name because the GV server number is unknown. If I open the GV app, everything looks great and the sender's name is displayed properly.
I had my friend send a txt message to my native number, and the GV number, and here's what it looks like in the messaging app:
To: my native number
From: first-name last-name
Message: This is a native test
To: my GV number
From: 5042988879
Message: 5042988879: +1########## - This is a GV test
I did do a search on the GV forums, and they said this was intended, though I'm pretty sure it works fine on CM7.2. Is this just a shortfall of HTC's messaging app, or am I totally missing something?
PS. I now realized I should have posted this in the Q&A forum. I will gladly accept a tow.
Update your phone profile and check voice settings on the website and make sure it says enabled by Sprint.

Mine works fine and as yours did on CM7.2. I agree to check your settings in the voice app, on the voice website, and re-setup voice on your phone.
Also, did you just post your friends phone number in a public forum?

Were you able to figure this out? When ever I get a text to my Google voice from someone I know, I can see their name but number has changed. Its kinda annoying because it starts a new chat thread. I end up adding that "weird" number to my contacts to make it work properly.
