Good evening,
I need help with my Google voice and re-integrating my Sprint mobile number with it. I guess a while back I un-integrated the number and now it wont let me re-integrate it again. I don't want anything to do with the Google voice number, I want to use my Sprint number for everything but every time I try to enable it, it gives me an error and I heard its because I had un-integrated it before. Any way around this? I have some more information below that might help you help me
When I try to change my Google voice number to my mobile number, I put it my sprint number and click on option 1 which is Use your sprint mobile number with Google voice, I click continue and get the following message: "Unfortunately, Google voice cannot be enabled on this Sprint phone. Please contact sprint for more details as to why this cannot be enabled." It is currently showing the number Google voice gave me.
When I click on check eligibility for sprint integration (using my mobile number) under "forward calls to" and click on option 1, verify my phone, it tells me the following: Unfortunately, Google voice cannot be enabled on this Sprint phone. Please contact sprint for more details as to why this cannot be enabled. I did this and they told me to try the following day but its the same thing over and over again.
Activating Google voice mail on this phone DOES work but its useless without the full integration.
Any ideas on how to fix this is very appreciated. I am regretting the day I un-integrated it.
Thanks guys!
Instead of integrating with sprint, press skip, configure, select voicemail provider, dial configuration number and it works.
All credit goes to LiquidSolstice, who wrote an awesome guide on setting it up.

It does it with the Google voice number, not my sprint number and I don't want that.

Since no one is going to be able to help me, can I atleast get a link that guide your talking about?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416590
Thanks for the link but that only helps you to set it up if your number has never been integrated before.
call sprint. This had happened to me where my google voice number took over my phone and i needed to unintegrate it. Sprint has a department that can assist with that.
Yeah that's exactly what happened to be and that's the reason I had to delete it completely. I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

did u fix it?
I decided not to do it until google voice supports MMS.
Evolution is speaking in 3 dimensions using XDA Premium
Actually, google voice was supporting mms before.. its just forwards the picture messages to your email..

I installed Google Voice and didn't read the app carefully. I selected the Sprint integration and now when I answer a call it asks me to press 1 to accept the call. I cleared the data in app manager and re-ran the app the correct way without sprint integration but it still asks me to press 1 when answering a call. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

Turn off call screening
This isn't specific to the 3D.
It's been a pain for about a week - since Sprint and GV launched the integration service.
The integration does more than make you press 1...
It prevents you from using ANY txt app BUT Google Voice, and reduces your 2 numbers to ONLY your google voice number...
OR
If you select to use your Sprint number, YOU MAY LOOSE YOUR GOOGLE VOICE NUMBER AFTER 30 DAYS!
Rather than turning off call screening (unless you want to, but it doesn't sound like your GV# was your primary number before), you should log into GV on your computer, go to Settings -> Phones, and Deactivate your 3D.
Google Voice will still be enabled for Voice mail after you do this, but it won't infiltrate and take over everything.
You can then go back to forwarding your GV# to whatever phones you like - and hopefully keep it if you chose to use your Sprint # on the phone.

I disagree with what you're saying here. First off you can easily use any text app you want. You just need to make sure you turn on the notify you via text option in Google Voice. Secondly I like having my Sprint number through my Google voice account so that way I can apply my Google Voice rules while still getting my free Mobile to mobile and not having to give anyone else a new number.
Secondly if you want to keep another google voice number, it's only a $20 one time charge.
Thirdly you know how great it is to answer my cell phone number from my computer whenever I have google talk open. Plus I have a Obi110 hooked up to a cordless phone so at home I have VOIP on my Cell phone number. My friends and family have no clue where I'm calling from because it always shows my cell phone number.
Google voice is a blessing if you know how to use it.
It's a headache if you don't though.
Read up on the services features before deciding if you want to use them. I love G-Voice but you need to understand theres one negative aspect of it.
No picture mail/mms services are allowed when you integrate. you'll have to resort to emailing attachments or facebooking or whatever you do to get your content across the waves.
I have not integrated. Right now calls to canada are free with gv but very expensive with sprint. If I integrate one way or another will I end up paying sprints rate or will it be free because of gv?

You have that wrong too. You can still send and receive picture mail mms through your regular messaging/texting app.

Once you integrate international calling is through Google Voice. I don't know if they mention Canada but I know for a fact they handle all your other international calling.

dont mean to hi-jack, i meant to create a separate thread but saw this one and instead of creating another thread, i'll just post here since its related to google voice. I went onto the google voice forum and sprint forum but no one can help me.
when trying to set up google voice, i'm getting an error message saying "your phone number could not be verified. please try again"
i tried re-adding my number and it says "this number is already in use as a cell phone on another google voice account" which is probably why i'm getting an error message on my phone saying it cant verifiy my number.
I also tried clicking on Change/Port in voice settings and going to "Use your Sprint mobile number with Google Voice" and i got an error. i think my account just needs to be reset or something?
I have a question, here is the scenario:
I have Google Voice(GV) and Sprint numbers.
I also have 3 unlimited numbers in my sprint phone.
I added my GV number to one of those three so all the calls I recieve from GV are free.
I can also use the call back function on GV to make calls for free since my sprint phone sees this as an incoming call from GV.
My question is:
If I integrate keeping my Sprint number as the primary, meaning all the calls I make from GV will show the Sprint phone number. What will I see in the caller ID when I make a call from GV's website?
Thanks.

Your Sprint phone will show up in that case. For your situation it doesn't sound like you'd want to integrate. It would save you minutes if you do a lot of your talking at home and can setup a obi100 or obi110 box to make outbound and inbound calls on your gv account.
Edit: My bad it shows up as anonymous if you initiate the call from your google voice page. Then again at home I'm using the obi110 I have with a cordless phone or my google talk dialing out as my cell phone number.

Go to the Voice settings on a non-mobile browser and mess around with things that make sense to change. I did that and now I have normal texting back and I am back to using GV just for voicemail like I like to do.

yes, you can use any messaging app. i use handcent. under google voice app settings after integrating, you go to
>sync and notications.
check "Text Messages"
uncheck "Inbox notifcations"
now you can use just your stock app, or any other app. if you use a different app, make sure you turn off the notification bar in the stock apps settings.
you will still receive a message in your google voice app if you open it. it will remain there, even if you delete the message in one of the other apps. good for keeping records of texts that you dont want to keep stored locally on the phone. i generally go in to google voice on the computer and delete what i dont want.
is it an extra step, sure. but look at this method, as an automatic backup system for your texts.

I purchased "Backup to Gmail" about a month ago and love it. (cpedia Mobil in the Market)
It automatically backs up all my sms, call log, and mms to my main google account... restores in one click. And it removes the extra step of deleting things twice. Still no MMS restore, but it backs them up for you.
I couldn't get the integration to work the way I wanted it to; basically like it wasn't integrated - my GV# rings what lines I tell it to - and my cell phone works like a cell phone, unless I specifically want to use GV for a call.
I have specific uses for both numbers - and need the flexibility in caller ID selection when dialing out - as well as for messaging.
The integration thing just wasn't working for me.
I definitely think it depends on how people have been using their phones previously. The integration is great if you've been juggling two numbers and wishing for just one you can tweak with GV's tools, AND keep MMS.
If you've been using the GV# to separate contacts (completely improper usage, admittedly - seeing as how you could simply create contact groups and handle them that way), the integration is a nightmare.

Is this if you're using your sprint number... or your GV number?
I had mine setup to use my GV number, and the only app that registered new messages was GV. No other program received the messages at all.
Maybe this was my problem with getting the integration thing to work.
i was integrated to use my sprint number.
you should be able to log in online to gv and stop the integration you have. then set up the app on the phone again skipping the integration step. then it should work seperately like you'd like at least for calls/voicemail.
Its so odd though. i recently switched from an htc hero200 (sprint) running CM7 and there was no integration. once i switched to the evo, all of a sudden this integration? i have no complaints with GV settings except one... i hate not being able to make calls from 2 numbers. is this simply something with the stock sprint ROM? once the evo 3d is rooted and a rom is ready to be installed, will this integration thing go away?
Disable Google Voice Integration
sign into goggle voice online go to setting and disable google voice to sprint
I just wish it would go back to the way it was originally. How can they begin to think that this integration is better than how it was before?

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.

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...

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.
Maybe I'm an idiot but I can't figure it out. I'm new to Google voice.. I'm trying to use it for my voicemails but when I go through the setup it tells me my carrier doesn't support this feature..

I've been using it for Voicemail only since i've owned the original Droid. Works fine on my thunderbolt. Setup just had to dial a number to forward my voice mail and that was it. I'm on stock rooted. ROM bug maybe?

i came to post this. set it up from your PC then set google voice on your phone to control voice mail. that's all it takes.
U don't get to make free calls, just free text messaging. Also when u make calls it changes ur number. Say u call ur mom and her number is 123 5555555, but when u look at bill it will say I made the call but it won't show her number, shows the number google made up.

Add gv # to friends and family. Use gv callback. Done. Free.
Hi,
I have searched this and other threads for an answer but couldn't find one. Hence the post.
I ported my number over to ATT from Sprint (on which GV was working like a charm).
On ATT Note, when I install GV, I don't get the compose message icon. Nor do I get any voice mails. All my voice mails go to the ATT mailbox. I setup GV the same way as I did on the Evo. I even went to Google Settings and I see my phone number listed there.
Has anyone come across this?
If so, could you please help me out here?
Thanks,
V
When you log into the google voice site does it show Sprint or ATT as your carrier?
if you add the google voice widget it should work..there is a GV toggle widget and there is a full widget that you can read your voicemails and also has a compose button on top right corner..
hope this helps!

When I go to configure voicemail service and choose GV, it gives me a confirm box with an error message saying "Change to new provider?". When I click yes, I get a dialog box which says "Forwarding number change failed"
I'll give the widget a try. Thank you.
Update: The widget didn't have a compose button either

Mine is working perfectly on the note, but try removing the number from your voice account and delete the app, then reinstall and setup like normal. IIRC there is a confirmation text or something too. If you ported your number from sprint, that may be why it's giving you problems because sprint has the integrated system and at&t is straight forwarding/app.
I did get the same error message when setting up voicemail, but when I went back in to the voicemail settings on the phone, I was able to select it and get forwarding active. Also, in addition to the full widget, you can setup a shortcut toggle to use voice for all calls/international only, etc

If the above solutions do not work, try opening the stock dialer and enter *004*googlevoicenumber#. That's what I had to do.

I had a lot of trouble setting up mine also. I eventually just set up the forwarding manually through call settings. Works fine but I received the same error during setup but works fine anyway.
U was having the same issues. Turned out AT&T Messages was blocking access to forwarding. I called AT&T customer service and had then reset my voicemail settings, and Google Voice starting working the next phone call!
Messages tries to take over every time it runs, so I rooted the Note and deleted it and other Bloatware.

I've tried several times to switch from ATT voicemail service to GV and it fails, even after rooting (not sure that matters, but ).
It (GV) shows up as an option, but attempts to switch fail.
Anyone know of a solution?

I had to manually enter the codes into the handset. Not sure why it didn't work automatically, but it is easy to do manually. Just go to google voice in your browser then under settings there is an activate google voice on this phone link which gives you the correct things to dial in order to set it up.
I just made the switch to Google voicemail after I couldn't get AT&T's visual voicemail to work on the phone. Had to enter all the forwarding numbers manually as above.
In the GV app there is an option to integrate voicemail into the system dialer (View and play voicemails from the call log). That particular feature doesn't seem to be supported by the HTC dialer app, only by AOSP dialers. Does anyone know of a workaround or a way to get this integrated?

Bummer. Hopefully we'll see an AOSP ROM soon ...

yeah I also couldn't get mine to work. I set the numbers manually in the Call Forwarding section of the phone
Can someone post a step by stop on how to switch google voice? I'm sure a bunch of users other than me would like a foolproof guide.
Which visual voicemail are you guys talking about? Have you tried this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018018
or are you talkin about the one that comes stock on the phone? This will work, you just have to call ATT and have them make sure Visual Voice mail is provisioned for your account. It is not there by default. THe stock ATT messages app (which has a crappy VVM) doesnt require additional provisions, but the VVM.apk above does. Here is another thread in the regular ATT HOX forum that has more info. I've tried both, and the VVM is way better than google voice. It's worth the time to call ATT, maybe more than once, to get VVM working. I ended up calling 3 times. Low level customer support does not have a clue..Once i got to a real tech, they had it done in 45 seconds. Hope this helps. Good luck!
