Google voice for the nookcolor will access your voicemail and send/recieve text messages. The only problem is I can't get notifications to agree to pop up all the time. Otherwise it works great.
When installing there will be an option to select your google voice email address instead of your phone number. Select the email address, not your phone number and enjoy!
Thanks for this. Just installed but never got the option for the email. It thinks the nook is my cell phone. Its using that number.

Got it installed, but my keyboard is only showing the top half of itself.... odd.
The app on the nook is kinda useless. It doesn't have a contact function or dialer - you would better served with an email client or a contact app that allowed for more than just an email field.

I saw the same thing where I see only half the keyboard. It will nice having a app that allows me to SMS text from this device, if this keyboard thing is fixed.

Email field? What are you talking about? You can use this app for checking your voicemail and texting.
Also for the others for the half keyboard do you just mean only the alphabet popping up right?
Just switch the keyboard you are using.
Thanks, installed perfectly. Then I grabbed the updated version from my phone and it updated the Nook's app, works great except I've got the same issue with only 2 rows showing up for the keyboard. I also see that in Transdroid when entering label names. I'm working on installing a new keyboard now.
I'm running on nookie froyo and have and issue with Google Voice where it fails to download my voicemails? Anybody seen a solution to this?
I'm using Thumb keyboard and it shows the whole keyboard
Using Google voice 0.4.2.13
Hope that helps...

How do I get the apk to install? It says unable to install apk.
I just installed from the market...works perfect(sans call making of course).

What is the preferred method of installing this apk? I've tried downloading directly from the nook, but it won't install. I've tried using the computer and an SD card and used Root explorer but it wouldn't install. I also tried moving it into the system/apps and it still didn't install. Not sure what else to do.
I don't think I had any problems with GV on my autonootered Nook. Although I've only listened to a couple received voice mails, and haven't used it for TXT messages. Got the unlimited plan on the phone, so why bother using GV for it?
Woohoo thanks a lot.
Installed it as a normal app using adb and it installs and can send receive texts.
Default keyboard works great.
Surprisingly it overrode my up-to-date gvoice from the market without complaining about any signature mismatch.
Please post how you did this so it will live on for future versions.
update: earlier my wifi was flaky
For those that are not so great with adb, I got it working by dropboxing the 3 Google voice files I had in titanium back up on my phone, downloading it on my nook with dropbox app, and then moved the three files to my titanium back up folder on the SD card in my nook. Open titanium back up, restore Google voice App+data and voila Google voice on your nook.
I got it working. I installed the apk on a SD card from my computer. I moved it from the card into system/apps using root explorer. It did not register or install, but I THEN went to the market and installed it from the market.
After downloading from the market, it enabled me to use it. No clue why. Before when trying from the market it would say it couldn't complete installation because it was trying to register the number of the phone. Weird. Maybe the apk in the system/apps did something to the download? I don't know, but it works now so I can reply to texts on my nook or my phone.
As for the unlimited plan, I'm not paying 15 more to VZW to have this, when GV gives it for free.
Sorry to kind of resurrect an old thread - but I was also working with gvoice on my CM7 Nook Color and while it installed fine from the Market, I can listen to voicemails (it saves them as MP3s) and send texts back and forth, I cannot figure a way to make calls over WiFi from the gvoice number. That's kind of key - if I can make the non-cellular calls like I could from my computer.
Of course, successfully pairing a bluetooth headset comes first, but I like looking long-term.
Thanks!

You can't, because Google Voice is not a VoIP client. At least not yet. Even on phones if you make a "Call with Google Voice", it still goes over your carrier's voice service, not data.
I know there are ways to link a gtab up to a cell phone with service and send messages from the tab through your phone service, but I was wondering...
Is there a way I can send text messages from my tablet using nothing but wifi?
Give Google voice a shot. That should do what you want.

That looks like its kinda gonna do what I want, so thanks for that.
But it requires a second number when signing up. When someone calls my google voice number (that will go to my tablet hopefully) will the secondary number i used also ring? I dont want that, i just want my standalone number on my tab.
I downloaded textPlus from the market and after setting it up, am able to text with my granddaughter who has an iPod touch. I'm not sure, but I think the person you want to text *might* have to have the same app.
Nope, I just texted my sister from the app and she got it and replied back to me. Don't know if there's a charge for texting with someone else though.
I just happened to be going through the AT&T bloatware and happened upon this app - I decided to see what it was all about, and lo and behold, it's actually useful!
It puts your SMS, voicemails, and call log in the same stream. It also puts them in the cloud, and gives you a Speech-to-Text transcription of your voicemails, which is nice.
I have some minor complaints, but overall I enjoy using it. I have a few concerns about AT&T having all my texts on a website somewhere but it's a great way to have them all already backed up if you lose your phone, etc.
You can even send SMS from the website.
So, are you using it? Do you prefer another app for these things?
I was using it the first week of ownership. It's not bad but I quit because people would text me photos and they would only show up tiny?
Went with the gosms pro app...works great.
I don't want to use it but it's the only way I can get my vvm.. I've tried using the. Apk floating around here but it keeps telling me it can't validate it. I wantbto get away from it

I use it.
I like the VV to Text and the "cloud" functionality... I only want it gone b/c it takes over notifications and I'd like to use the BLN functionality of Da_G's OC Kernel... BLN doesn't work with AT&T Messages (yet).
@n00b1269, VV to Text (Which is what AT&T Messages does) is different than regular VV. I think if you have your account changed to regular VV, then the original VV .apk will work... I think.

your going to have to call or chat with AT&T to have them reprovison your account in order to use the VVM app thats posted here in the forum i had used the messages app first then it screwed my account somehow not letting the VVM app validate if you look at that other thread i posted there
that sound like google voice only GV is 1000% better!
I used it for awhile, but the vlingo in car mode won't read text messages from it. So I switched back to handcent for text, and YouMail for vvm. Works great, and I love the new plugin for YouMail, called who are you, that gives true caller id for all calls.

Yes. I like att messaging a lot. Its simple and clean. I like the ui better than GV. For my use it has more functionality than GV except for the option to leave different voicemail greeting for different callers.
GV gives free texting but I have the $30 unlimited m to m and texting so no advantage there. Also I don't think GV support mms unless that's changed.
Only problem I can't get SMS popup app to work with it. I'm using Popup app instead and it works okay.

I am using VVM on my stock GNOTE.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452330
DL it to your pc and email it to your Gmail acct that is on your Note. Then check the box under apps that allows you to install from Non-Market places. (Unknown sources) Under settings-applications-Unknown sources.
PLEASE NOTE
if you have already set up AT&T Messages, you will need to uninstall it and either call AT&T from another phone or log into your online att.com acct and do the support chat. They will have to remove Voice Mail and the feature AT&T Messages. They will then have to provision/apply Visual Voicemail back on.
It works great and I am stoked to have it back on my phone. I just had the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and VVM was on there. Loved it. Anyway, hope this helps.

It did that to me to but I did the support chat and had them remove AT&T Messages feature and Voice Mail. I then powered my phone off and on, they added Visual Voicemail back on, powered off and on again and it worked.
The AT&T Messages feature is what is causing the issue.
I'm using it right now for VVM and it seems to be the only way to receive iMessages (Former iPhone User) in group form. If I try and get the messages from the stock app, I cant reply all... Anyone know of any other messaging apps that can receive and send messages in a group sms/mms fashion?

I know GO SMS Pro supports group messaging, but I'm having an issue with people receiving double and triple messages from me while using that.
EDIT: You can't receive iMessages. iOS and OS X only, for now.
The ATT Messages app seems to work the best for me atleast for the iMessage style group chats. Go SMS Pro always splits it up for some reason, not sure why.
question about Go SMS Pro, I installed the app and its working fine (mostly use for the msg without closing other apps) and i would like to set it to my default Messaging app. So i go into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Messaging>Clear Defaults but when i go to launch Messaging app it does not ask me what app i want to launch nor to set it as default.

If you launch the Messaging app, you're going to launch the Samsung Messaging app. Just like if you pressed S Memo, it's going to launch S Memo, not some other note taking app on the phone. You need to open the GO SMS Pro icon. In Edit Mode, you can drag and drop the GO SMS icon over the default Messaging icon to replace it in the TouchWiz tray.

i only bring up this questions because i dont like the way the icon looks for the GO SMS Pro... i much prefer the default messaging app icon but i guess theirs no way to change that... cause replacing the icon just puts that ugly GO SMS Icon there... lol
Never used it and never realized it did all that. I thought it was like a chat thing for ATT users like 3 of my friends and me could all see each others texts like a chat room.
I've been using Google Voice for years now.
VVM
To be more specific on the issue with VVM. IF you ran the ATT Messaging app, it causes all sorts of changes in ATT's system on your account. The Tech/Rep looking at it for you will tell you all is well, and in their defence, it appears that it is correct. However, it's not and it's deep in their system and they can not control it.
To get it corrected, you have to have them COMPLETLY REMOVE YOUR DATA PLAN ( re-read that 10x.. it is EXACTLY what they have to do to get it working ). VVM is attached to your data plan. They can tinker with voice mail all day, it will do NOTHING for you. And good luck getting a rep who will actually go though the trouble of removing the data plan, especially if your on unlimited in the states still. However, if you anoy them enough, and keep them on the line long enough, they will eventually do it just to shut you up. Your best method of doing this is actually to go to the store and do it there. The reps there have permission to do it, where as the phone tech's kept having to call other departments to get it done.
After 3 days and 4-5 hours on the phone with a tech they got mine working. So I immediatly loaded the att app, it killed VVM, and I was able to drive to my local store, and they had it working again in 10 minutes ( that is 10 minutes after the guy did what i asked, complete removal of the data plan ). I did this just to prove it was a repeatable fix and not a 1x deal based on some random error.
Apologies if this is irrelevant. I don't have a i777, but I set up AT&T Messages on my i727 (Skyrocket). Didn't take more than a day to realize I hated the interface (and the fact that the app shanghais all notifications).
Unable to resolve how to turn off the notifications, on a whim I decided to just try to uninstall the app. To my amazement, it actually worked. My regular VVM went back to normal. I needed no interjection from AT&T at all.
I know this is very much a "hatchet" solution and not a "scalpel", but hopefully it's helpful all the same.
So many SMS apps to choose from. I'm giving my SGP5 to my 10 year old, and want a simple texting app that requires no cell phone (Wifi only).
Google Voice seems good, other than a little trouble getting phone number and no MMS.
Others I'm looking at (/playstore rating): Kakao (4.5), Textnow (4.2), Heywire (4.3), Tabletalk (4.4 + $3)
Textnow looks the simplest... Want something where no one else (her friends) needs to be on the same app. Just plain texting number to number, little to no adds. Which works best?
I use talkatone personally, just need a google account set up correctly, you get to choose a number, completely free

Thanks. Decided to use Google Voice. Used her mothers cell# to get the GV#, then unchecked the cell#. Texting works fine. She now has the option of adding GrooveIP (when she gets older). I had it on the Player before I got rid of my account with factory reset, it worked well.

so you did not have to port the #?
i have a 4.2 that I would like to use also for texting. I do have a verizon phone, but if I could stay away from porting and taking on a new # it would be great.
thanks!!
I like pinger myself. Maybe i just got used to it but i picked my own number from a list and house phone and cell both have same area code and prefix. It has voice mail text that sends pics.i have never paid anything but minutes were much less than anyone else's. I have it on 2 iPad 1st and 2nd gen. A KINDLE fire many androids and no problems.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II that has been rooted and uses CleanROM 5.0. Today I noticed that my Google Voice messages are not only being received by the GV App, but also by the stock messenger App. Also, the stock messenger App will reply through whichever source the SMS came in (either Google Voice or Verizon). This surprised me, as I don’t remember ever getting GV messages that way before. Google Voice messages would only go to the GV App. I have also determined that I don’t even need to be logged on to the GV App for this to work. I tried Googling this to see if it was normal. All I could find was recent news of this being achieved by a Cyanogen Mod and there also being an App that will do this. I have neither a Cyanogen mod nor that App. What am I missing here? Why is the doing this for me? In any case, I’d like to use just the Stock App for everything I’d like to know how to make all outgoing messages default to using just Google Voice. Any ideas around why this started happening and how I can control how new messages will be sent?
Answered my own question (mostly)
OK, I found out why this started happening. Somehow I had changed the setting in Google Voice, so that text messages were getting sent my cell phone. So duh.... when I received a text to my Google account, it also was going to my Verizon account, and thus my stock messaging app. I found this out when I saw all the text charges Verizon was billing me for. So now I am using that App, called Stock Messaging Application with Google Voice, It looks somewhat like the stock application- but not quite (I like the stock better). It does catch messages coming in from both Google and and Verizon. I have it set to reply to all through Google- which it does. This is mostly what I wanted to do- the problem is, it's a little buggy. Sometimes a message won't go in or out. And as I said, I still like the stock app better.
So I still have a remaining question. Does anyone know if, or when, the breakthrough of this from July (for Cyanogen Mod) is showing up for other ROMS?

Glad to see someone else cares- I was actually kind of surprised by the lack of feedback/interest in this. I would have guessed this would be of more interest to people....oh well.
The app I was referring to can be found on the Google Play Store- it is called "Messaging + Google Voice", the developer is Troxie.net
This board won't let me post the link.
The problem with this app is that it seems a little buggy. Sometimes messages don't send or receive- but in general it does what it says. I have also found the Text for Free service by Pinger works pretty well with the stock messaging. You can set it so that all of your cell phone service based texts will also go into the Text for Free app. Then when you reply, the outgoing message will go through text for free. However, this is a separate number- not a Google Voice number.

I actually use the Sprint integration with Google Voice, so I am using only one phone number, my Sprint mobile number. I am really just trying to set it up so that if I am at my PC and I send an SMS with the web interface, that message will also be displayed on my phone. Right now, I can see that message in my google voice app, but not any third party SMS app (like Textra, which I use). I want to be able to use Textra to send all my SMS and MMS, and have it sync any messages I send using the google voice web interface as well.
