Has anyone successfully paired any third party text app with GV so that it can be used for texting and NOT use your assigned verizon number but rather your GV number? Not just for texts but photos too?
I've checked out textplus, Handcent, etc but cannot get them to use my GV number
I've had mixed results when someone sends me a picture to my gvoice it will show up in Gmail. I have never seen anyway to send them.

GVoice doesn't support MMS, though it getting sent to email is new to me.

So I like the Google Voice integration, I guess. Want to set it up for voicemail only and use Handcent fir text. Doesn't seem to work, or I can't figure it out. Don't want text messages in Google Voice. Anybody know the secret?

Yes the text thing is pissing me off. I just want voicemail as well.
I think you can shut the text messaging portion off in your account settings(on the computer...not on the phone)

LOL happened to me too. You have to sign in from a computer I think and "un" port the number. Reinstall Google voice and the first thing I think it asks is if u want to do the Sprint/Google voice integration or skip it for normal Google voice services. You need to skip that part and install like u usually do.
The part u do on the computer I'm not 100% about. I only did it once but i believe I found this info on MIUI.us in the EVO section.

Just turn off syncing in Google Voice. I get the voicemail forwarded to my SMS and then check the GV app manually.

That worked. Had to unassociate my number and go back to my default Google Voice number on the website. Wasn't easy to figure out. Should be a way to just opt out of text.

How do I access or setup voicemail now that I'm using ics

I'm assuming you are using Sprint.
Phone settings, and change the Voicemail number from *86 to your phone number then you can press and hold number one to get into Voicemail.
The only time I knewI had a voice mail is when I got a text message from 9016, or some number like that.
you'll have to search the threads for a fix for visual voice mail (vvm).
Maybe someone else can fill in the gaps because i'd like to have vvm too on cm9.

Is there a way do assign a different notification for text vs voicemail in the Google voice app?
Set it to receive your texts through the messaging app. That way you can choose your ringtone for texts through your regular messaging app and still get voicemail through the Voice app with a separate ringtone.

OK, I guess my situation is unique because I am having issues with my text notifications through Handcent or the stock messaging app. That's why I went with Voice for all texts. I can live with one messaging sound if this is the only option.
Thanks

You might wanna check your Voice settings on a computer browser to make sure its set to send you texts through Sprint. You may have a setting on there that's affecting it. I do quite a bit of texting on my phone without issue with Google Voice

Looks like there was a setting on the browser version. Hopefully that fixes the issues....
I'm now to the android scene,andsoup. so far I think it's pretty cool. But one disturbing thing about the optimus is the way it handles voicemail. The is no visual voicemail integrated into the dialer, using a separate app sucks- especially when it's an att app that doesn't seem to load.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for that?

It's not built into the dialer, but Google Voice is a solution that loads and works well. It also tries to transcribe and emails those transcriptions to you
Google Voice also has an option to display your voicemails in the call log screen.

I'm using the ATT app and it works flawlessly.

I've been using PF Voicemail + on my old GS2 with good success and over the few days I've had my OG it has worked just as well. It also transfered my old messages and missed call log when I made the switch as a bonus. Not sure if that was the app, or the result of TiBu. Either way, no issues I can see so far on the OG.

I keep getting spam calls and would like to shut them off without going to voice mail. If the spammers get an indication that the phone number is a valid number they will continue to call. I have tried to block them but they have so many different numbers it is impossible.
Any ideas? Thanks
Have you ever tried youmail? Its a app that's basically visual voice mail. You can see the number the message is from and just deleye rather than dialing in entering your pin and then pressing the key to delete. Give it a shot I found out about it on xda somewhere and like it better than the regular voicemail. Hope this helps

You could also try Mr Number. That app has an option to pick up and immediately hang up on people.
