Posting this to see if anyone else has this, and if any one knows how to make it work.
I use Google Voice for my international calls, but after the upgrade the dialer takes over, Google voice can not be used to "only make international calls"
i have to use "ask for every call" which is not the best solution.
[EDIT] that option does not work either
I'm having the exact same problem.
I even made several international phone calls, thinking that maybe Google Voice was running in the background... now I'll get hit with the charges for international calls from AT&T :s
Any solution to this problem?
I'm using the X10i 2.1 Global firmware on a X10a (AT&T)
hope this helps

Looks like as sony do not use default dialer it is going to be a problem

unfortunately the suggested process does not work
I found a way to make calls by google voice. I went to the browser, went to the google voice website, and from there, I placed the call. Then I received the phone call from my google number, and it connected me to the number I was calling.
It's more troublesome than just using the app, but it is a workaround.
Any other ideas or solutions?

When you do that, aren't you still using the GSM network and your sim card to have the call connected?
I am having identical problems (2.1 Nordic) and trying to use google voice over WiFi to avoid using network minutes but Sony's dialer takes over... hopefully sony or GV will update and fix this real soon... very frustrating

I use Google Voice for international calls... so I'm still using my GSM minutes, but just as a local call, not with international rates.
Have same problem. Cost me one expensive international phone call.
Generic FW, Build 2.0.A.0504 - X10i/ATT USA
GV screen comes up, then native dialer takes over. Have used workaround posted above, but naturally would just like to be able to use it as intended.
Just a heads up to anyone who has updated to 2.1.
I have the Rogers 2.1 and using AT&T as the carrier. GV does not work for ANY of my outgoing phone calls even when I specify to use GV only.
If the issue is SE's dialer, is there a way to revert back to the generic dialer?
Thanks
I'm also having this issue, only after recently upgrading my X10 to the generic 2.1 software. I wonder if anyone has found a solution yet?
I've had this problem since day 1, since I'm from Canada and use my GV to call my american / long distance friends. I have had to use the website workaround since day one, and it really bugs me. When I was working from the iPhone app, it worked properly (call me, then call the number I'm trying to call). Since switching to my X10a, I can't have it just call me, it uses the dialer directly.
So, I use up about 100-200k of my data plan to make the call. Not a big deal, just kind of annoying.
I put a post up for this and it seems like no one replied. So I am wondering if anyone would be able to help me with this. I have it setup with sipbri it allows me to have my google voice account on sipbri and it lets me make calls but anytime I try to call all I get is my voice mail after it rings so many times. Am I doing something wrong or is it that the recieving calls part doesn't work right on Inferior Human Organs Cyanogen Mod 7.1?
Anybody? Well I actually got it working not sure what the issue was. I have a different rom it is CM7.1.0.1-VM670-BobZhome-111311 and it appears to be working fine. I just had to make a call on the internet call then after that I tried to call the number and I recieved it each time I called it. Seems like I have little to no delay either as people I talk to respond to me fine and can understand me fine.
As you probably know, the versions of Google Voice beyond 0.4 have employed "direct access numbers" to speed dialing, in which a shadow Google Voice number is applied to each of your contacts.
In prior versions of Google Voice (0.34 and before), a common regional access number was used for all contacts. While theoretically, dialing could be slower, I've never noticed it. The advantage of the old version of GVoice was that you could add that common regional access to your "Friends and Family" list and get essentially unlimited outgoing calls. The problem with using the old version is that:
- you cannot get the application to cleanly install on 4.04 and up (at least, and maybe actually on earlier system versions, too).
- you cannot get notifications delivered to your stock messaging app
- the interface is crapola
- the options are limited.
I'm requesting a stand-alone app that intercepts outgoing calls (like GVMyNumber) and instead of initiating a call back, routes the call through the GV regional access number, regardless of the version of GV installed on your phone.
Alternatively, if someone knows of a way to disable shadow numbers in the new version of Google Voice, that would work too.
Any ideas?
Hi everyone:
I have google voice setup as the voicemail box, no problem
I however, use GV for international calls from the United States and I cannot for the life of me get it to work.
Regardless of the settings I use in GV for making calls:
Use GV to make all calls, do not use gv, only for international or ask everytime I call.
When I go to the dialer to make my call...I dial the number, hit the dial button, then nothing happens. The dialer is still open, hitting back does nothing, hitting setting does nothing. I can still hit the numbers and the numbers will show up, but doesn't look through history or contacts.
It seems like GV is just not intercepting the calls out or doesn't launch. I've tried reinstalling GV, tried reverting back to an older version. No dice.
Has anyone seen a problem with this or have a work around?
Regards,
MWC
Has anyone managed to get these two to work together?
I activated Advanced Calling a few weeks back. Little did I know my voicemail was no longer working since then and was just giving a busy signal. I've spent several hours now getting it back to working order, but the only way was to disable Advanced Calling. Apparently call forwarding does not work when Advanced Calling is on. I've seen people with other types of phones on forums talking about similar issues with no resolution. Anyone know how to get these two working?
Just as a side note to anyone who was stuck like I was - If you activated Advanced Calling, the only way to get call forwarding to work again is to go to Verizon's webpage and turn off Advanced Calling for your phone through the webpage. Turning it off on the phone alone does not work.
Running Google voice and HD calling, had to redo the Google voice activation on the phone, but that was all. Just got a google voicemail this morning, used the HD calling last night.

Must be isolated cases then. I can't get it working, nor ANY call forwarding to work (even tried other numbers that I own) with HD on. Just get a busy signal instead of it forwarded. Hate to have to call Verizon since I'll have to unroot just to call them.
I'm having similar issues since i enabled HD calling. I had to re-do the *71(voice mail number), *90(voice mail number), *92(voice mail number) to forward busy and unanswered calls. It would seem that google voice isn't accepting the forwarded port from verzion as my number. My verzion number is registered in google but google doesn't think my number is calling, so it doesn't allow me into voicemail.
