Does anyone have Google Voice working, or should we wait for the 3.1 update?
Thanks!!
Google Voice doesn't work. I even tried a modified apk from the Xoom.
I don't recall where I got it from, but there is a version out there that works pretty well. I'm pretty sure got it from another thread on this forum, so try searching and you should find it. It is kinda dated, it doesn't support the push notifications for text messages (so fastest you'll get texts is every 5 minutes), but it works.

I've had no luck finding this version. Does the Gtab need rooted for it to work?
I think this is the file that I have installed right now: htt p:// db . tt / T3Svb4A (sorry, not enough posts to post the full link, just remove the spaces). Let me know if that one doesn't work and I'll do a direct pull from my device. And no root is needed.

Now, if only we could make google voice calls, this would be awesome. Thanks again.
Groove IP works on gingerbread, can anyone confirm that it works on the tab/honeycomb?
Fyi groove IP allows for voice calls from a tab using your Google voice number.
I copied the Google Voice APK from my Nexus S to my LE Galaxy Tab 10.1, and it installed and ran without any of the configuration file trickery described in other posts. Neither device is rooted.

Are you able to make calls or just text? My texting works fine, but still need GrooveIP to make calls.

That will always be true for any WiFi device. The official Google Voice app is not a SIP client. You need some other SIP client like SipDroid, CSipSimple, SipAgent or GrooveIP.
I got Google Voice working by using Titanium Backup. I used the backup files from my SGS4G. It Took a while for the batch operation to finish but it worked! No calls for the time being though. Texting is great though!
Latest Version
Here's the latest version from my Infuse. Supposed to be easier on your battery.
Also, GrooVe IP is on sale at Amazon. $1.99 vs. the regular $3.99. http://www.amazon.com/snrb-Labs-GrooVe-IP/dp/B004Z1P53W/ref=zg_bs_mobile-apps_1

yes u can make and receive calls. all you need is Groove IP which is a paid app worth all the money. install the app, follow the setup, and start making and receiving phone calls with your google voice number. no root needed!!! yes u need to b on wifi
I noticed if you text on a wifi only device with google voice you dont get the text instantly, you have to wait for google voice app to refresh which its lowest setting is 5 minutes.
Is there anyway to get texting instantly?

I used to use Fring but that was just complete crap as far as call quality went... so, i've been using Skype lately.
the problem with Skype is that the call quality is still a bit "crappy" here & there + the latest update keeps pestering me to re-install it at least once a day(wtf?)
is there anything else out there that i can use on my Thunderbolt that has decent call quality, call land lines as well as get a phone # assigned to me for people to call me?
I use Tango and Qik all the time. They both work well.

i didn't bother with Qik as i'm not interested in video calling & Tango says it's a "free" app that's for making calls to other Tango users.
thanks for trying though.

If you have a google voice number and account then look at GrooveIP. i suggest you be in strong 3G or 4G coverage for it to work well
Google talk. Its free, better Quality then skype and works with every rom, can use wifi OR data. Search for gtalk 1.3 dowloader in market.
Google voice is free, as good of quality as my regular verizon line. Sets up on your celly, lets you choose which line to use to make calls, and you can foward your cell number to your gvoice vvmail box so you dont have to check 2 vm box's

my market doesnt show a gtalk or google talk, has a "google voice" but i believe thats something different? just to make sure, i can pay(unless its free) to get a phone # through gtalk?... i do not want to use the # on my thunderbolt. i like how i can call any # from skype and have a # set to my skype account, just the service is horrible.

Gtalk is only for video calls. Gvoice you can get a free number, and make and recieve free calls through any phone or computer and has free fowarding and vvmail options

It sounds like google voice is what your looking for, if you use gmail, google +, voice and talk all work together in your gmail act. Which just makes things so much easier. And its all free. You need separate apps to do each thing on your phone for now, but im hoping they integrate them all into g+ soon.

i ended up finding that gtalk via a google search and downloaded it from here. i tried to install it but apparently it isnt for AOSP ROMs.
as for google voice, i just tried that but it seems its just a voicemail management system and for making international calls. both i dont care to do.
oh well. ;(
I use it as my normal number all the time. I have a cali celly number but live in colo, so my gvoive number is my local colo number which i use all the time.

sorry but, when i installed it it was asking about managing my voicemail & then asking if i wanted it set as the default device for making international calls. it then dropped me into some sort of inbox and there were no call options anywhere. i did a google search on it but i just found info on how to use it on your desktop. i guess i'll have to attempt to find more information on the app. i just wish it was more user-friendly.
p.s. noticed a lot of negative feedback on it in market complaining about it being an unfinished app.

I think its pretty user friendly I've been using it since its inception and idk if they still do but Google had a long video about how to use it in there website. I would suggest setting the Google voice account up from a computer first and then integrating the app

i got Google Voice up & running yesterday & had been using it to make/receive a few calls. i just checked my minute usage though it seems Google Voice DOES use your minutes(confirmed it on google's site also).
Apparently there's a trick to actually getting it for free but requires downloading a few other apps from market and registering on some gizmo5 website(that seems to be down).
so itseems Skype is my best choice after all.
Like the NFC aspect (outside of G-Wallet use), I wanted to bring another feature that is likely to be glossed over.
Some of you coming from an Epic Touch, might be familiar with this or people who've used Ad-Hoc.
Edit: (An app to take advantage of this ability (in beta) but it works well.

The same, it's just re-labled. They may have some pre-programmed tasks for it's use. It's present in the Samsung GS2.
Edit:
S-Beam is limited in function as it will only use it's main functions with other SGS3 handsets.

Seems like we need an app to make this work. Ive connected to other devices but I cant send anything due to no app to control the function
Glad I'm not the only one,lol.I can set up a group and connect but can't seem to find anyway to transfer data via WiFi Direct.

This Sucks
This really Sucks to have such a great feature bit no way to use it.... ive spent alot of time trying to figure it out but i couldnt..... i really hope someone figures this out....
My friend and I were messing with this over the weekend, he has an SIII I have the EVO. Turning it on and pairing the devices up works great, but when he would try to send a picture (WiFi Direct gets added to the standard Share menu on the SIII) it would just hang on his end until it timed out. I tried sending a file, but get no WiFi Direct option in the share menu of the EVO.
He also had a place to control some settings, one of them was "File Sharing" and he had to turn that on before we were able to attempt to send files.
Sucks that this doesn't work - it could be really cool especially if my wife and I want to pass photos around to each other that we have taken of the kids.
Makes no sense to add this ability with no way to use it..
I agree. I can pair with my brothers 4G LTE but cant transfer anything between the phones...
What happened to InfraRed on phones? I used to use that all the time to transfer stuff and contacts!

Hello,
I've noticed that when you flash any ICS rom that it originally has the dialer and messaging app like regular phones do, including signal and networking settings.. I would like to know if it's possible that Google Voice calling and Text Messaging can be implemented to the Galaxy so it can be used as a phone with WiFi.
Thanks for anyone who could give some insight if it's possible.

Yes it can. You can download GrooVe IP or Talkatone. GrooVe IP is just the dialer, and Talkatone has the dialer and SMS built right in. However, with Talkatone you have to pay for high quality sound as with GrooVe IP it is already unlocked. To offset texting you can just download the Google Voice App, and use that. That's what I do and is works pretty well. All don't require you to pay anything when calling/texting numbers in the United States, but everywhere else they do charge. Textplus to me isn't all that great because they randomly give you a number and if your area code isn't available then oh well lol.

I have Talkatone as well and it has both voice and text features. The problem that is inherent to the design of the Galaxy Player is that the mic is on the bottom of the device so everytime I've tried to talk to people, they can barely hear me unless I rotate the player so that I'm talking into the mic and then rotating it back to put the earpiece next to my ear. I haven't been able to pair my bluetooth headset to the player but if/when that happens, it should fix that problem.

It's not a Google Voice issue, because I use it on my laptop and have not once got lag. I think has more to do with the device. My sister got lag on her phone at one point and I fixed it by fiddling around with the settings. In GrooVe IP you can go to Audio/Echo Settings --> Echo Cancellation and check "Basic echo canceler" or "Adaptive echo canceler". Also go to Troubleshooting --> and check Audio Processing to, and then Go down to Mic Buffer and change it to medium or large ( I notice the larger it is the more lag). Talkatone I have no idea lol. I assume it has some of the same settings as GrooVe IP.

On talktone there is an echo cancellation option that has hardware and software check. And a echo path delay. Are these similar? there's also a "Jitter buffer duration" can these help fix the delay?

As I don't have much experience with talkatone but it sure does sound the same. I probably should be able to fix the delay. All I can say is mess with the settings lol.

Hey all.
So the tweaking to get my HTC ONE just right continues...
The latest annoyance is the delivery of visual voicemail. I have the AT&T Visual Voicemail App but it is inconsistent (in terms of updating) and a pain to switch over to it for my voicemail messages. I came over from the iPhone bandwagon and got really spoiled with some of the amenities on that side of the fence - VV integrated into the Dialer is one of them.
Anyone come across a Mod to get the Dialer and a VV integration? The dialer itself is kind of a pain, so I wouldn't mind replacing the whole dialer interface if that's an option.
I am Rooted and Running Android Revolution HD for HTC One.
Thanks in advance.
Its programmed differently so probably not possible with stock launcher. I havent had any problems with the notifications though and have a shortcut for it on my homescreen so really not that big of a deal once ya get used to it.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
don't know if it's going to be possible with stock Sense and the AT&T VVM, however on CM10.1 you can get Google Voice integration into the dialer call log.
i came to the HTC ONE from the iPhone 5 and i also miss the ease of visual voicemail baked in there.

yeah i had some trouble setting up "google voice LITE". it said it couldn't "retrieve forwarding settings" or something. tried multiple times with no luck. finally went to "voicemail number" in call settings and changed it manually to the number google provided.
i THINK it's working okay now. i called it from a friend's phone and did get my GVoicemail box.

This is what I did too, but the problem is Google Voice is not popping notifications when a voicemail is received. My old phone (SGS2) used to do this, I still haven't found a solution.
I just recently tried out att messages. It's not horrible and you can turn off it notifying you of txt messages and still use the stock sms app.
