Hi all, sorry for the new guy question (at least that's what I think it is):
Problem Statement - I have my phone set up to make all calls through google voice. This works fine. However, the phone.apk and thus the call log always shows the google voice routing number as opposed to the person I am actually calling.
Review - I have done some searching and it appears this is the same thing on, at least, some other devices (SIII for one). I have not found any way to "fix" this, however, and am reaching out here. It may be an LG thing or an ICS thing or no thing at all.
Solutions:
Question 1 - does anyone know if there is any solution to this?
Question 2 - in doing some looking around it seems that the best approach might be to try a different phone.apk. The best approach I have seen, but have not yet tried, is to download the stock ICS phone.apk from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735507 or something. change permissions to rw-rw-rw- and copy into system/app . will this work? What is in there now is LGphone.apk, do I have to change the name of phone.apk to LGphone.apk?
Thanks in advance for any consideration of this.
Best Regards,
Dave
I'd like to find a resolution to this issue as well. it's rather frustrating. and no, i will not be adding the Google Relay# to my contact list as a workaround. i just want the call log to report the contact i called..
Anyone find a solution yet?
I figure once the AOSP 4.2 roms have their camera and GPS issues sorted out, I won't be bothered by this issue any more.

GV outbound call log repair
The only way I found was to install this app called GV Outbound Call Log Repair. I've tested it and it does work. This app seems to periodically wake up, contact GV and replace the number in the call log with GV call log number.

Thanks for sharing. I just bought it and it's working great so far. The only concern I have is that it syncs your call log every 30 seconds which seems like a battery drain. I wish you could set how often it syncs. At any rate any fix is better than none :good:

Anybody know of a app that will keep the call history even if its deleted in the history and be password protected. I need to know all outgoing and incoming calls on my phone when its not with me. And if it keeps numbers u text that would be awesome.

Well, SMSBackup+ can store the calls that you receive to one of your Google calendars, store call records to a label in Gmail, or both. These can also be restored to your phone, if you want to bring them back.
And, of course, it will back up your text and MMS messages to a label in Gmail, too, if you want that.
There are numerous (aFirewall, Extreme Call Blocker) Android Market apps which may be overkill for what you're looking for but which may be able to do what you want. Definitely run test versions of each to make sure they are perfect for your needs before buying one. I haven't tried to use one for the exact same use as you want, so I can't really make a solid recommendation. They definitely all seem to have some features that others don't have, so you'll have to dig to find the perfect one for you.
Good luck!
P.S. Definitely check out doogald's suggestion as it might be simpler with less trial and error.
Hey
I just moved from WinMo to Android (Omnia i900 modded). The stock call logger shows all the calls and the messages in it. I want to do 2 things:
1. Clear messages from the call log. - Other threads suggest going to Phone/Contacts/History and then setting to show only the calls, but that is not practical for 1000+ contacts if you're doing that one by one. Another option mentioned is to set to "View By" which is absolutely useless.
2. How to stack/group all the calls made to the same contact together (be it calls to home/work/mobile etc.) - something that was being done in WinMo (up to WinMo 6.5)
Any suggestions people.
I like the stock dialer app, so not much interested in switching to an alternate (except as a last option). Thanks in advance

The only solution i have for you right now is, use another mess app and freeze the samsung mess app
Thanks for the reply. But is there not a mod that is available from a developer which could solve this issue. I believe that this is an issue with Gingerbread nd a lot of people must be having the same complain.
Otherwise, any suggestions on an alternate dialer / sms client which would be the PERFECT alternate for the stock dialer?

This is a custom Samsung call log that does this. The stock gingerbread call log does not show texts with calls, and it also groups calls from same person together in a sub expandable list.
The Samsung call log just stinks is the problem. If only you could load the stock version.

Any idea how to get hold of the stock Gingerbread call log app. Any apk available for that?
How do I change back?
Same thing happened to me...just go into settings on the computer and unchecked the box next to your phone number...everything will revert back to the way it was!
Yea. I had this problem yesterday. Scared the ish out if me. Sign in to Google voice from a computer and go into settings from the top right. Select the phone tab and uncheck both areas that has your number tied to it.

Heh, same thing here. I went to voice settings /via Chrome and disabled sprint integration.
Does anyone know how to use the voice app on the phone to switch back and forth between sprint/google numbers? I could do it on the Hero.
Guys, I know there are tons of threads on this but i'm stuck.
starting from stratch.....
should I set up GVM from the computer or phone? or do I have to do it from both ends?
At this point I only want to use the Gvoice mail because of the voice-to-text feature unless you know of another app.
I've used handscent but I dont think that feature works on it.
I'm not using integration but somehow today(7/1/11) I cant get the GVM to work with my sprint number.

It's better to configure it all online through Google.
I keep mine seperate and have the choice to use either before I make a call since GV is my business number.
You can set the settings in your phone also to use either or.

thanks for the reply but i've read people saying DONT download the google voice app on the phone and some people say it's ok. I cant get both options to work at the same time (sprint/google number choice and the voice-to-text ).
I have Google voice on my phone with notification OFF. It sends me a text when I get a voicemail. Also, I have the Google voice widget on my homescreen: makes it easy to listen my voice message from there. Go message is my default sms app and every text I send/receive gets copied in my Google voice account. It works very well.

well I'm glad for all the other people's success but I need to have someone walk me through the steps. Something is not working correctly. I dont think i want to integrate both numbers. I want two seperate numbers and the voicemail part. What am I doing wrong???

Ok. You can use both numbers without combining them.
First. Log into Google on your computer. Go to voice. When voice loads, sign up for a number if you don't already have one. (very painless)
Click on options in the top right corner and click voice settings. You will see your Google number. You should see forward calls right below your number.
Check the box to forward calls to your cellphone.
**Any calls made to your GV number will now ring on your cell.
Now click on voicemail & text tab.
Those options listed should be self explanatory.
Now click on calls.
*In my case I have Call screening enabled so I don't get spam calls etc.*
If a number isn't in your address book you can have them say their name before it rings and you can answer or deny the call. (Great feature imo)
Caller ID incoming: 2 choices are availible. I have it show the number. Better then seeing your GV number every time someone calls.
Caller I'D outgoing: * for me this is important*
I set it to GV number so i don't have to use my actual cell number to ppl I don't want to have it.
Hope this helps you out some. If you want 2 numbers without integration then follow my steps. If you want to integrate then make the appropriate choices.
You can also have GV mail set as your main VM for both numbers without having any conflict whatsoever. It works great for ppl who can't have phone at work and would be able to read their VMs from their computer. (Comes in handy )
P.S.: After you do the online portion, go head and open the app on your phone. Login and go to your settings. You can make a few changes their but the options are limited. Just review those settings against your online settings and test them out with another phone and you should be smooth sailing after that.
Good luck. Check back with results.

Also to note.
If you go into your phone settings and then select call, there is an option under voicemail to use your sprint VM or Google VM.

I just upgraded from my Samsung Captivate which was running CM10 to the HTC One. One of the things I loved about the old phone was that all my voicemails would show up in my call log and I could play them from there. When I tried setting up GV on the new phone, I got a bunch of error messages and somehow the phone removed my old call forwarding rules and then couldn't reapply them. So I logged out of the Google Voice app and tried again. No dice. Finally, I went back and did it the old fashioned way by manually typing in the MMI code and managed to get the calls forwarded again to GV. When I went to the dialer app to manually switch the voicemail provider to GV, I again get the error messages and when it asks to still switch to the new provider I click OK. However, it kicks out another error message and then shows that nothing has changed and still lists AT&T as the default voicemail provider. So, has anyone managed to get this working properly or have AT&T and HTC once again colluded to completely bork functionality that works oh so well on stock Android?
Just got a response to my support request from HTC. Laughably, they claim they "cannot guarantee full functionality with Play Store applications." That is pretty pathetic. In their quest to differentiate, they eliminated one of the best features of Android in my mind. I hated dialing numbers and using the dialpad to access and control voicemail years ago. When Google made Google Voice available on Android, it was one of the factors that made me choose it over the iPhone. Then they made it even better than visual VM on iOS by integrating it into the dialer. This dialer from HTC is a huge step in the wrong direction. I don't need all this FB and Twitter integration crap. Just let me access my VM in the best possible way.
I have it working but I never got it to work using the Google voice app configuration.
It was still working when I swapped my son card to the HTC one from my gs3.
I had to go into the phone app and change the forwarding numbers manually. Also the voice mail number.
If that doesn't work I think you can contact at&t and they can fix it for you.
Wait...you have your Google voice voicemails showing up in the dialer app so that you can click play and listen to them without going into the GV app? I did manage to get the forwarding set up, but I want the voicemails to show in the dialer like they did on CM10.
Not working on Sprint and HTC One either

Same issue, voicemail set up, but I can not get the call log to show voicemails. Tried unchecking voicemail display as indicated in other forums, but doesn't work either way.
Bump...no dialer integration or notifications is a big problem for me as well.
Instead of making a new thread I will just bump this one. Did anyone managed to get they HTC One to integrate Google Voice visual voicemail into the dialer? I searched everywhere but couldn't find any info on that.
Maybe there are any 3rd party modifications that can fix this issue?
p.s Just to clear things for someone who reads between the lines my GV Voicemail is working fine, what I am trying to figure out is how to integrate it into dialer and get visual voicemail from there.

No luck. I stopped trying. I may give it another go.
Just installed ARHD Google edition Rom and visual google voice voicemail works great in there, but I prefer Sense based Rom so will go back to it. Shame visual voicemail doesn't work on it, seems like HTC broke the compatibility.
If anyone knows a solution that would be great!
I've been using Google Hangouts to send SMS on my Sprint Note 3 for awhile now with little to no issues. That changed however with the recent Google Voice integration into Hangouts. Now, each time I try to send a text message, the message is received multiple times by the recipient, although I only see it sent once. Occasionally, the recipient will get anywhere from fifteen to twenty instances of the same message.
My Google Voice number is the same as my carrier number, which has never proven to be an issue before, but now I'm wondering if that's the culprit. I've searched all over for an answer to this particular issue, and it seems like I'm in the minority (so far).
Anyone else having a similar problem? It's more of an annoyance than anything, but I'd rather not be blasting out dozens of messages to my contacts if I don't have to.
Thanks.

I am having the EXACT same issue as you descibe above.. Using a Note3 on Sprint, until recently it worked without a hitch, now for the past 2-3 weeks, when I send SMS messsages I get people that state they get it up to 40x, when it only shows that it was delivered from my device once.
I am not sure if it is a Google Voice issue, Hangouts issue, Android, Sprint or just a combo of all of the above? If you are able to get a resolution, please let me know!
Thanks,
-Tim
Tim,
I was perusing around the Google help pages the other day and notices a new disclaimer I had not seen before. It was a short blurb on one of the Hangouts SMS help pages that said something along the lines of "If you're using Google Voice with your Sprint mobile number, do NOT integrate Google Voice with Hangouts. It will cause issues with SMS."
Not the most helpful thing in the world. But I ended up just disabling Voice from my Sprint service altogether. I hated to do it, since I've been using Voice on Sprint for several years now, but seeing as Voice is soon going the way of the Dodo, I figured it won't matter before too long anyway. I was only using Voice for voicemail anyway, so it wasn't a huge transition for me. Depending on how reliant you are on Voice, it might be a bigger problem for you.
At any rate, disconnecting Google Voice from my Sprint number solved the problem... no more spam texts!
