i noticed on Google's website, it shows a google voice call being made over the normal dialpad w/ some Voice splash on the screen.
I am using CM7 and there is no splash visible and no indication if voice is even working. Does anyone else here use it and on a Sense or AOSP ROM?
Works fine on sense. You press one to answer calls made to you on your google voice number and i have it set up to ask me if i want to use google voice when i make my calls or not

It doesn't matter what you use, sense or aosp, google voice works. You can make voice calls through google voice from your desktop (the screenshot I think you're referring to). On the phone, the google voice application allows you set it to make all calls using google voice.
Here's the caveat. Calls through google voice from your cellphone use the actual cell connection. It first dials the gvoice call center, and then routes to the number you dialed. If the gvoice call center's phone # is in your 'calling circle' or whatever, it's all free minutes.
It sounds more like you want to do VoiP...replacing skype, or fring. Make voice calls over your data connection, am I right? If that's the case, grooveIP has REALLY impressed me. It connects to your google voice account, and makes calls using the same voip interface as the desktop screenshot thingy (calls from the desktop browser).
That, or a complicated set up involving SIPdroid, sipsorcery, gvoice, and a 3rd party SIP service (there's a few free ones).

Right now, I am unable to make outgoing calls from my Archos 43 running UrukDroid 1.0 (I've tested using stock firmware 2.3.26) and I don't understand how I'm supposed to make calls by routing my call through google voice if I have no dialer. My setup looks like this: PBXes provides SIP -> use IPKall for a free washington state number -> use to validate google voice with a softphone (I used 3CXPhone). The only successful way I've been able to make calls was using 'connect with phone' on the google voice site, which called my sip number -> address and I was able to receive the call using Sipdroid base. I'm not going to have desktop access to google voice all the time though, so I tried CSipSimple as well, which just hangs up right away (Sipdroid hangs up instantly when you try sending the call) The weird thing is, it shows that Sipdroid is dialing [email protected] rather than the actual number, which makes sense to me because it's an SIP dialer/client. Now, I want my calls to be routed through google voice, not sent to my SIP provider. What is the easiest way to do this? Thank you!
Edited:
Setting up a trunk and outbound route in PBXes or using SIPSorcery (it doesn't actually provide SIP) just plays some really weird opera music on every outgoing call.
I used fring for sip and that was working ok.
comes with its own dailer and you can use the normal contacts.
Im struggling to wrap my head around this google voice setup.
1. I want to know how to get around the fact that it switches numbers when it calls numbers, so therefore you cant put it in your favorites in Verizon list....
2. I heard of an app forgot the name so that it automatically calls your google voice number that you program your pin in with it...
3. So is it a way to trick your phone into thinking its on wifi and make calls that way?
4. Is it really worth the trouble?
Check out GVoice, it will let you make google voice calls over wifi and 4g, without using minutes. I'm assuming that is what you are trying to do?
I think you can get to the voice settings on a computer, and change what number is displayed when you call over your google voice number.
I'm not sure what you mean by #2. You can set up google voice to forward calls to as many other phones as you want, if that is what you are asking. You don't need a separate app for that, again it's in the settings on the computer.
I have it set up so when people call my google voice number, my work BB and my personal phone ring. When I'm worried about my minutes, I use Gvoice to make calls over 3g, 4g, or wifi using my voice number.
It's pretty easy to set up this way.

I use sipdroid to make calls over wifi or 4g-3G. I'm a consultant so I use a ton of minutes.

Does anyone have experience using Google Voice without a data plan? My sister just bought a phone to use with Page Plus, and is porting her number to Google Voice.
Do calls work correctly without data? I read a while back that Google implemented a feature in the Google Voice app that downloads the direct access numbers for all of your contacts when you first install the app. How does it handle new numbers that you dial?
Is there a good way to text people without saving their Google Voice "proxy" number, and still have it come from your Google Voice number, without using data?
I use Sipdroid with Google Voice on my tablet.
Inbound and outbound calls over WIFI work pretty well for me. I just dial regular phone numbers.
I've never really used texting with Google Voice.
google voice pay as you go no data plane
Does anyone have recommendation on how to set this up to play somewhat reasonable all together.
I know functionality will be limited when no Wi-Fi is available but......
Text >GV>T-mob carrier>my phone
Call>GV>answer
- yes>got the call
-no> be able to see voice mail notification an call to check the voice mail
I have the rezound, as well as a Kindle Fire, and I installed Google Voice on them. I read through other threads, and no luck with my problem.
I have used Google Voice on my computer to call and text people, and with my upcoming trip to europe, it would be nice to use that to call people back home.
Problem, I have it installed on two devices, yet on both it doesn't give me the option to call, or even compose any sort of message at all. Any ideas on what I can do? The only options I get are refresh, settings, and search.
For me, when I'm in my inbox (or any other folder) I have a compose button on the bottom left. For calls, can you go into settings, Making calls, and change it to ask for all calls? Then use your dialer to place a call and it should prompt you.

click settings. the second option in the settings menu controls the ability to make calls via google voice. it is however done by dialing a forwarding service and therefore uses your minutes. it is not voip.

I pretty much use Google Voice as my primary mode of voice calling. You don't make a call through the app. Simply go to settings, and tell it to either use GV for every call, or ask it to prompt you at every call whether to call from your phone or to call from GV. Then when you simply dial as normal through the dialer app, it will either just use GV if you told it to, or ask you which to use.
BTW, All GV calling functionality is disabled on wifi tablets. I honestly have no experience with 3G/4G tablets, but on my Wifi Transformers I have to install a SIP client on the tablet and route GV calls to another VOIP service I use.

I'm a bit confused. I thought the only Google Voice calling solution was GrooveIP if you want to send and receive calls properly for your Google Voice phone number. GrooveIP does not use your minutes and is definitely VOIP.
On every device I tried it on, there is a bit of delay with GrooveIP, but the quality is good (good internet connection required, whether its 4G or strong 3G or WiFi.)
Can you please elaborate a bit? Are you just using Google Voice app, but its using your minutes?

When you use the google voice app, it dials into the google voice services which then forwards the call to the number you dialed. You get charged for the minutes during the call as a result. This also breaks free mobile to mobile calling.
GrooveIP is a 3rd party app that lets you connect to GV via VOIP so you don't have that forwarding call.
Use sipdroid with pbxs function. Tie it to Google voice, download Google voice callback, and presto. Have it on an old evo for my 8 year old daughter. She loves texting with Google voice. Makes her feel like a teenager. There is sometimes a slight echo, but completely usable.

You need a real number to verify it.

Go into your Google voice account on a computer and make sure you have call forwarding enable. You can use your home number for this but unchecked that box if you don't want it ringing your home phone as well. Check the Google chat instead.

Replacement for GrooveIP for Hangouts Dialer (GB)
Since may 2014 Google has removed support for 3rd party dialers for Google Voice. This includes GrooveIP. Hangouts Dialer is only for 4.x and up Androids. ObiOn is the only 3rd-party app now supported by Google Voice/Hangouts for Gingerbread.
I had been using GrooveIP to use my Player 5.0 (US) as a WiFi phone but since it stopped working with Google Voice I needed a replacement. I have been using OBiOn as a landline IP phone for about 3 years and am now using the OBiOn app on my Player 5.0 (US). You need to have a physical OBiOn device to act as a Voice Gateway to do this. I have the cheapest (OBi100) hooked to my router with my physical phone hooked to the OBi100. Instructions to set it up with Google Voice are online at the OBiOn website. I read that 911 calls are possible but haven't investigated that yet. Hope this helps.
Works For Me:victory:!

If I remember correctly, you have to go into Google Voice settings & check the box to forward calls to google chat.
See if that works.
Yeah, using Google Voice for a phone number and then using Google Hangouts with the Hangouts Dialer will be the way to go now. As long as you have wi-fi you can text, and make calls. I been doing that for a while now on my Galaxy Player 4.0 since Google eventually merged Voice and Hangouts and took out the old voip for Voice.
