Hi,
I had Groove IP before on my HTC Inspire just fine. I just moved to HTC Amaze and tried to set it up, and I'm encountering a weird situation. The calls get forwarded to my phone fine, but when I answer it, it looks like I'm answering it through my phone, not groove IP (the interface is that of the phone's, which wasn't the case when I had it working on HTC Inspire). Also, to test it, I put the airplane mode on with only WiFi enabled. Well, calls didn't get forwarded to my phone. I was able to make out-going calls however. So, apparently, something's wrong. I have it set to forward calls to google chat fine. I'm confused why it's not working. Can someone please help me with this? Thank you.

Most call based apps forward and use your regular phone number, despite being forwarded/using their voip services, like google voice, I use that to call canada, it sends and receives calls through my regular phone but nada charges to my plan.
I appreciate your taking time to respond, but what you say is not the case. With groove ip, we can make and receive calls with airplane mode + only wifi enabled. I figured out what the problem was though. I just had to find a different phone to register under my GV account, delete my cell # and google chat from it, then re-add them from fresh. The reason I had to find a new # is because GV doesn't let you delete a number if you don't have at least one other phone registered. It's all working now

I know there are other issues with GV. I have used it flawlessly on my old Hero, so I thought it would be the same on the 3d. I had integrated my Sprint number to GV in my GV settings(option #1), but did not use the GV app on the phone. I travel extensively, and ran into problems retrieving my GV messages. I did not always have reliable 3g or 4g service, thus unable to hear messages that were not transcribed properly.
I tried to disable GV and go back to the stock VVM, but now I cannot use my phone!!! The dialer will not connect to anything but *2, old GV number or 911!
A sprint tech tried to assign a dummy phone to my account, no luck. Seems my account is locked because of trying to remove GV. I have a SERO plan, may be part of the problem, but I haven't had issues til now.
Any help would be appreciated.

In short, when you say you disabled GV you mean that you went onto your google voice account on a computer and followed these steps:
1. Log into your computer
2. Go to Google.com/voice and sign in and jump to your Voice Settings
3. Now next to your number you want to click the DEACTIVATE SPRINT AND GOOGLE INTEGRATION (or something along those lines)
Yep, my Google account on a computer, the Sprint techs asked me 5 time to make sure. I have the option to integrate the number again, but as my phone will not receive a call on the Sprint network, I am stuck.
Yesterday and today, I was in a roaming area, my phone worked there to dial out, but no incoming calls or voice mail. When someone calls in, "we are unable to connect your call, please try again".
One tech tried to tell me it was a phone issue, I believe its a network issue.
Thanks again,
Craig
Not an expert here, but maybe you could try a hard reset on ur phone.
I tried the Google voice/Sprint integration and did not like it took over everything, I.e. phone, voice msg, and texting.
I however was able to un-integrate VIA GV website and uninstall/reinstall the app. Now just running it for voice mail.
Did some searching on xda prior to this and read some threads where people talked about conducting a hard reset to un-fuk GV issues.
Just a thought.

I just noticed the part about the Sero plan. There is a Google Voice account code that needs to be active on your account for this to work. It shows up as a $0 charge under your phone, same place where your $10 premium data charge would show online.
Sprint Tech got me to Hard reset (factory reset), luckily I pulled the SD card just prior.
Just removed all reference to my cell number in GV needed to remove the # form forwarding. Called Sprint to remove SOC for GV. I can now make and receive calls!!!
Hey all, I've been following all the postings about making calls via wifi and data networks to save on minutes as well as just to use wifi connections instead,. I got sipdroid and googlevoice setup as well as google voice callback,.. got the options set right in everything and it's partially working,.. what I'm finding is my voice to others is coming across very very very quiet and when I hear them it's very very very lagged and broken up. Can anyone assist with how to tweak the settings so my voice is not so quiet and the person on the other end isn't so broken up and lagged? I'll hear the person's voice with significant lag and so broken up I can't tell what they are saying. Thanks in advance for your time!!

just use groove ip, I used to try and use SIP along with google voice, but it didn't work very well if at all. Groove ip is worth the money as it works really well and works along with your google voice account. I bought it in the amazon appstore for $3 instead of 5 and use it on my thunderbolt (to save minutes), transformer, and old moto droid. It even allows you to make calls over 3g/4g if you want, check it out.
Any Way to make GrooveIP work on this tablet???
I would like to use some type of voip with this device. I need to be able to make calls if possible. Are there any hacks for this?
Sent from my HTC EVO View 4G Honeycomb Tablet, runing on the Now Network, (or my AT&T Home Router, lol).
It's working in Gingerbread
One of the first things I did, before HoneyComb OTA came out, was load my Google Voice app, from the market.
Then I loaded and opened Groove IP. I set it up to match up with my GV acct. and also set it up to load at device bootup.
The last thing was to go to my GV acct. via a browser and check the box to forward incoming calls to Google Chat.
Now I have incoming and outgoing call capability(when in a wifi connection).
I either use a headset or hold my ear to the bottom speaker(back of unit).
i didn't have any problems installing it. Works perfect synched up with GV
Groove IP has always worked perfectly for me on the Flyer, both GB and now HC Roms.
My View just says "Please try again." Then I get three beeps. Then the call discontinues.
What do I do?
Do you have Google voice installed? That is required
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.

Thanks, I will check it out....
I use sipdroid to make calls over wifi or 4g-3G. I'm a consultant so I use a ton of minutes.

Hello everyone. I'm having a bit of an interesting issue, and while (probably) not entirely confined to my new HTC One device, I was hoping you all could give me a bit of assistance!
Yesterday I made the switch from Sprint to AT&T and received my brand new HTC One in the mail. I'm a long time Google Voice user (using since late 2009), and have used it for all texting, calling, and voicemail on all android phones I've owned. I figured when I pre-ordered my phone, for simplicity sake I would just transfer my sprint number over to AT&T so I didn't have to deal with sprint customer support cancelling my service. This seems to have caused some major problems to my use of Google Voice, however. I was able to get everything set up again, but I'm having serious issues receiving calls forwarded from Google Voice to my phone.
During my tests trying to set this up, it appears that I DO have everything configured as I had previously on Sprint. I'm able to place calls and people see my google voice caller id, I can send and receive texts through the voice app, and my conditional forwarding sends all calls (both my regular number and google voice) to google voicemail. When I receive calls, however, I'd say 95% of the time it is so slow to foward that my phone that my callers will hit voicemail before it rings my phone. The only strange thing I see in my google voice settings is that my carrier for that number keeps getting recognized as Sprint instead of AT&T.
In my troubleshooting I've linked my girlfriend's phone (sprint) to my account and a co-workers phone (at&t), both forwarded just fine immediately. At this point I'm kind of running out of ideas. I'm thinking I might run down to an AT&T after work and request a new number. Would this be a reasonable thing to do to try to solve the problem? Since i'm such a new customer, do you think I could get that 36$ new number fee waived? Not being able to receive calls forwarded from my Google Voice number is kind of a deal breaker for me, as I'm heavily reliant on that number at this point. If anyone could provide any advice/assistance it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
