I haven't been able to figure out how to voice chat on gtalk, is it not supported?
Afterall its "GTALK" right.......
Incase if it doesn't, could someone please suggest an alternative?
Thank you.
im pretty sure you can only voice chat with the program Dialer that comes with the phone. and no apps have been developed to do anything further to my knowledge

I love google voice so far, the concept is fantastic. However, i am having issues trying to get everything integrated with my touch pro 2. Has anyone found a way to integrate google voice into the phone so it is seamless, as if google wasnt even there? Is there a way to integrate the SMS into the phone as well instead of going to the website to SMS from the phone? Just wondering what everyone else's experience has been so far, it is great but so very clunky for me.
Thanks!
Great topic!
I would like to know also about it, I´m already suscribed but as I live outside of USA, service is not available yet...
Best program I've used to date is onedialer. Its not free but you may want to try out the free trial and see how it works for you.
Have to say the developer runs a pretty nice forum asking for input and looking to the user community to offer suggestions on ways to improve. I generally don't pay for much software but believe this one is worth it...
I dont know why someone would dial the google voice number from there phone to make a call (long distance maybe?). I was able to change my TMobile voicemail to the Google voice number so my voicemail messages get transcribed for me [although the accuracy is somewhat hit and miss ].
I found that iDailer and iContact work best. You can go to the iDialer website and you'll be walked through creating a config file. You'll have the option to add your current phone number, your google voice number, and google voice as a callback number. You can use the Rhodium keyboard controller to assign the Talk button to run iDialer when pressed. iContact will open it automatically when you select a contact from it.
As for SMS, I know it's annoying, but the best I have found is to just text the person through the web service once and save the number you get back for them.
Hope this helps!

Whats "Long Distance"? I thought that term died in the 90's.

so people store your google voice number in their contacts and call you back there, giving you the freedom to switch number/phones whenever you want

For SMS (and calling) cell phones, the best way is to get the other person to send a text (to your Googlevoice number), then add their '406' number to your address book as their mobile number. Then there's no need to go to the web site in the future. Obviously that only works with folks you communicate with regularly. I'm about to try 'onedialer' for the others...
Have a look at an app I've just released, it does Google Voice SMS, and is free:

Hey everyone,
I am wondering if y'all figured out if google voice can refresh itself to get text messages. My friend's phone receives text messages ONLY after she refreshes Google voice.
Anyone else have this issue or not issue, nuisance?
I don't think anybody really understands what you are asking. What phone does your friend have, and are you referring to the text messages that are forwarded to the phone from Google Voice, or the text messages that are sent directly to the phone, or something else entirely (viewing Google Voice text messages in an application or web browser)?
It's kind of hard to answer a question when I have no idea what you're asking.
As far as I know Google Voice is not capable to run on WP7. I tried it through the browser and it required a download which WP7 cannot accomodate. So yes please clarify the question and maybe we can help.
Are you perhaps talking about one of the GV apps ?
There are two (or maybe three) unofficial Google Voice apps in the market. That's what OP is asking about.
Remember those are unofficial 3rd party apps and each has their own pros and cons.
WP7 API currently is quite limited. To make full use of Google Voice capability, Microsoft need to open up API furthermore so that Google will port an official Google Voice over.
FYI, on my Android phone, the native Google Voice app is tightly integrated with phone dialer pad so that you don't need to use a separate dial pad to call through Google Voice. Also, the multi-tasking capability means Google Voice app can sit on the background to receive text messages and voice mails. These are currently not possible on WP7. One of the Google Voice app needs to setup a dedicated server (from donated funds) to support the push notification.
Three advantages about Google Voice:
* cheap international calls on your cell phone
* free SMS
* free visual voice mail.
I have google voice installed on my wifi xoom when I try to call someone it calls my phone then when I answer it my phone calls the contact I tried to call from GV.? Is there any way to just make calls from GV? It also is the same for the browser version of GV. Texting works on both though.
Google voice is not a voice over IP service, it doesn't do calls.

Actually there is a way. Go to the Xoom developers forum and open the thread called "CRTAnim+desktop.........". Go to last page. Note that you have to be rooted to do this.

o man I was thinking it did because when I had it installed on my old g1 back in the day I made calls from my g1 with google voice. But don't remember it calling my g1 then connecting to the contact I called. Sorry for the dumb question. I feel very supid now
okay thanks don't know if I will be rooting this one tho. Can't say I won't because I always do when I get tired of waiting for the newest update lol.
If you dont want to root, and still make voip calls with this, its easy..
get a sipdroid account, at pbxes.org
install sipdroid on the xoom
install something like acrobits SIP dialer, or, you should be able to do it with your google voice account
the thread that tells you how to sync your google voice account to sipdroid is here
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-apps/15366-sipdroid-free-voip-via-google-voice.html
there are some issues today with pbxes servers, so it may not work right at the moment, but trust me, I have been making voip calls from my evo for months using this, and, made tons of calls from the xoom earlier in the week using this method
have fun!
cool thanks I will check that out.

Wait... how did you get Google Voice on your Wi-Fi Xoom?
It's not in the Market.
you dont need google voice on your tablet, per se, you just need a google voice account, ad, you do the configuring from the google voice website..

Side load it. There's an older thread on this forum titled something like "I got GV working...." it includes a link where you can do a hacked version of GV that works great for SMS.

I'm talking about Google's free calling and texting app Google Voice. I use it on my iPhone to...you guessed it, get free texting and calling.
I was at the store trying out the S4, and I downloaded the google Voice app, but its nothing like the iPhone app...
How does Google Voice get implemented into Android. I want to be able to get free texting and calling like I do on my iPhone..
Any help?

It uses the native dialer to make calls. When you make a call it's gonna ask you which you want to use to call it (real phone number, or Google voice number)

So Basically I can always set Google Voice to make calls when I initiate them from the stock phone app, and I use the actual Google Voice app when I want to text somebody?

Yes, however, make sure you understand that calls made with the Google Voice App (through the stock dialer) still use minutes. The way it works is:
1. Phone calls google
2. Phone tells google what number to call
3. Google calls number
4. Google connects caller
You will just call the number normally and all this will happen, but it still uses minutes. In order to get "free" calling, you would need an app like GrooveIP, which uses data to connect to google's server and start (and continue) the phone call (equivalent to calling from your computer).
There was a task to create a voice chat. How to implement it do not know. The whole problem is that it is necessary to bypass NAT and do support the conference call. May have a ready library, or can someone faced with this?
I would be grateful for your help!
