My phone is using my Google Voice number to send texts and make calls even though I'm quite sure I told it not to do this when I installed it. Any way to reverse this?
uninstall and then reinstall. it would be the easiest way to fix it. because i think you completed the google voice + sprint integration thing instead of skipping it and idk how to reverse it other than going into the google voice settings on your computer.
hope this helps

Disabling it online worked. I don't know why the app can't do that. Thanks!
Log onto Google voice from a computer. Go to settings. Uncheck "Recieve text messages on this phone" also make sure on your phone texts go to the "messaging app".
You should also be able to change your default phone number.
Yep, sounds like you ended up shifting your Google Voice to your phone.
You have to go into Google Voice via a browser to undo it.

So I use GrooveIP to make calls on my phone, and I've been using it on the tablet at home - problem is, I hate the way groove manages contacts (it doesnt really). The OTHER problem is that, beacuse I just have a wifi tab, my contacts app and google voice WONT let me dial contacts directly from those apps. Is there any way to make it so that my tablet recognizes groove IP as a phone and lets me dial from GV and the contacts app?
Anyone? =/
Skype? O-o
No, i mean like - the tab 10.1 doesn't recoginze calling as an action - you can't use "call" as a voice action, you cant click on numbers in the contacts app to call someone. I'm trying to find a way around that. >_>;

Currently that's a little challenging :\ I haven't figured a way around that apart from skype. There was a way to add a Phone.apk module that would allow it, but was still WIP

Thats what I figured needed to happen - has there been any progress on that? =/
Actually, to clarify a bit, the effect I'm going for:
In the contacts app included in the tab 10.1, when you open a contact and click on a phone number, nothing happens. I'd like to be able to click on a number and have the option to call it via GrooveIP. ANYTHING to have that kind of functionality would be nice.

Unfortunately GrooveIP hasn't added that feature to enable it as a default/optional choice, Like how when you have messaging, and you download GoSMS, it asks you which you prefer to use. Likewise GrooveIP has to offer that function, or it probably does? But the Phone.apk isn't detected hence it doesn't give the option?
I agree the option the OP speaks of would be nice.. I wote GrooveIP an email asking if this is possible from their end..
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
i think you have to reset the voice calls on a pc ..not sure ..sorry i cant help..

No worries. I'll keep looking around and update this post when I get it working.
Go online and deactivate the device. Once that's done, launch the APK and setup like normal.

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.

Google Voice
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.

So with the recent update of Google Voice I accidentally integrated my number. I like my voice mails handheld by Google Voice, but I don't want my text messages going through it.
I had it set up this way before the update. I hit the wrong option after the recent update and accidentally did the full integration or whatever.
I'm on the d3rp senseless ROM and don't have an option to activate the device.
Does anyone know how I can undo that full integration and just set Google Voice to handle the voicemail?
I found it easiest way to get it done is goin to the website on a computer and there's an option to undo intergeration. Than re doing the voicemail settingon the phone without the mistake.
long time lurker... read search try again

As rose2jam said, log into Google Voice via your PC and you will be able to disable and restore it back to default settings.
My phone is synced with both a Google account and an Exchange account. I have contacts on both and can see them find in "Contacts" application.
However, when I use Google Voice Search (the little microphone on home screen) and say Call Bob or Send Text to Bob, it does not work. In the stock ICS rom, it used to do random stuff like searching web for a random business. I've since flashed Houstonn's JB ROM. Now I see that my voice command is transcribed perfectly i.e. when I say Call Bob Buster, I see the text "Call Bob Buster", but it just says Contact not found and gives me a link to "find contact". If I use that link and type in Bob Buster, it finds the contact.
So, the transcribing is perfect, plain text search works, but they using voice search to dial does not work. What gives? Same thing happens with Google Contacts and Exchange Contacts.
Any one else encounter this? Any workarounds? Thanks in advance.
Voice Control Works
Sorry to reply to my own post, but after I posted the above, It hit me that I should try another voice assistant that uses Google Voice Search engine/api. So I tried the Voice Control (Test). I've tried it in the past with stock ICS ROM without much success. However, in the JB ROM, it works great for almost all my contacts. So, it appears that the voice search engine is greatly improved in JB, but the the app/interface is some how broken.
I guess I'll go pay $1.99 to buy the full version of Voice Control.
EDIT: --Further Info--
First, I just figured out that there is an "Edit" button on this forum, so didn't have to make a new reply. Sorry about that.
I guess I was on a roll. After posting above, it occurred to me that there is an "offline voice engine" in JB. So I made sure that the offline data is downloaded and turned off wifi and mobile data. Voice Control just plain stopped saying no network available. May be it wasn't using the API properly. But here is the surprising part. I can now call many of my contacts with the call command just fine now (Google Voice Search).
So, I've tested turning data back on and same old problem of "can not find contact". I've repeated this 2-3 times. Same contact can be called when I am offline (no data), but not if I am connected. I guess Google is doing something funky when I am online?
Google Search Update Feb 13
The Google Search update on Feb 13 appears to have mostly fixed this issue. I am at 50-60% success rate in dialing my contacts. But the contacts it previously transcribed correctly, but couldn't find in my contacts are now being transcribed incorrectly. Oh well, I guess it is a step in the right direction.

Just curious, but when you hit the mic button, then tap the menu button for settings, there should be an option to check phone search. Select phone search and see what options are checked off. Make sure contacts is ticked and anything else you want search to look through. If you've already done this, my bad!

Thanks for the pointer. I didn't know about the settings option after hitting the mic button. All the proper things including the Contacts are selected for search.

You may want to try Google Now instead of just voice search. If you're on ICS there are a couple hacked versions around. If back on JB, it's probably already installed. Make sure it's on/active. I've been getting pretty good search results with it (including contacts) and I'm on Slick ROM v6.

Anyone know how to disable and/or uninstall stock voicemail? I want to use Google Voice but can't seem to set it up.
You may need to go on a pc and set it up from there. I used to use Google voice but switched back a while ago so I'm not sure. Download and install the app and check the settings but I think you may have to enable it from the actual Google voice website.
I had trouble with Google Voice, but YouMail works like a champ for me.

Usually there is a voicemail setting in the phone >settings page. From there you assign a voicemail phone number to dial aka your google voice number. Some phones have this in the dialer app or similar settings. It sucks if it's missing since the voicemail button in the dialer won't work and wont allow itself to be modified most of the time. If those settings are missing like they are in the GS5 (im buying a g3 today) then you will have to disable Sprint voicemail and use the phone to setup call forwarding to your google voice number. The google voice app from the Play store will ask you to merge your gvoice number with your sprint number and pick either as the ONLY number. I don't do that part. It will ask you eventually to dial *__________ which is the call forwarding part. If it's integrated into the phone settings it doesn't ask that part usually. You can then call sprint and have them disable the voicemail for your g3's number.
You can also go to google.com/voice and add your number to GV. It will just give you instructions on setting up call forwarding and asking whether to use one number for both services. If you have that sprint phone number setup with another gv account it will be switched to the new one. A real number can only be linked to one GV phone number at a time.

Is Google Voice set up as integrated with your Sprint account? or are you using it as a separate service?
I to had issues with Google voice and it actually sent me a message stating that is was disabled. I went back and set everything up again, but then when I received a voice message it went to Sprint VM. I like Google voice, but I think I will just stick with the Sprint VM for now. You do need to go into your Google web page and set it up from there. I did change plans so that is why it went to the Sprint VM instead of using Google voice.
