Gizmo5/GV/Sipdroid calls were working fine yesterday over both wifi and 3g but today for some reason whenever I make an outbound call through my N1 it dials but I hear nothing and sipdroid hangs up after 22 seconds =(
Inbound calls are fine and when I initiate calls to phone #'s through Google Voice on my computer it comes through on my N1 where I can pick up fine and I can hear it. Complete opposite though when making outbound calls - no sound/hangup at 22 seconds.
Has anyone else experienced this as well? I searched through previous threads and on regular google searches but found nothing.
I have my sprint hero set to forward voicemail to my G Voice number. I have G Voice setup to go straight to voicemail and enabled voicemail forwarding.
What happens is when someone calls my number it rings, I dont answer, then it rings my google voice number which rings my cell again then it goes to voicemail.
So if I dont pick up I have 2 missed calls on my cell phone. Really annoying. I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Everyone suggests enabling the go straight to voicemail feature on G Voice but I've alread done that. Any ideas? thanks.
I'm having the same issue...
any luck fixing it?
You could have 10 phone numbers in google voice. What it does by default is if you miss a call on your cell it forwards it to all those numbers listed, including your cell again.
In the list of phone numbers there are settings, then you click advanced settings somewhere, and then there's a setting about "If calling this number directly" or something like that, with an option to go straight to voicemail.
Took me forever to figure that out myself.
Edit: Crap, never mind, your problem sounded so similar to what I was pulling my hair out over for a couple hours that I stopped reading the "I've already tried that" part. You didn't do something silly like put the google voice number in your list of numbers, did you?
Okay guys I have just found something interesting and would like to see what your opinions or if my idea makes sense.
With the new google calling on Gmail.com, I went into my gvoice setting and I saw that I can now forward my calls to gmail.com instead of to my cell phone. I have only checked gmail as the number to forward my calls to, so when I make a call it actually goes through gmail and not my cell phone. thus, its free?
The problem with this is that I can now make free calls out with my gv number but will not be able to receive calls on my cell if someone calls my gv number since its not being forwarded to my cell number.
I hope I am explaining myself clear enough
Pretty sure you just told all incoming calls to go to GMail, and that's it. You didn't change any setting for outgoing calls, you are still using your plan minutes. Because you are still calling an actual phone number.
Just because you change a setting in the Voice options doesn't mean your phone suddenly knows to do voip without any voip program to do it. Your phone is still using normal voice calls.
I think you're right now that I think about it more....my bad...
mod, please delete thread.
Wait, don't quit just yet. What provider are you with? If you have a plan that gives you phone numbers you can call without costing minutes, you can assign your GV number to that. You can then make and receive calls from your GV number without using minutes. I did this for about 6 months with Myfaves until I realized I just didn't make enough phone calls for it to be worth it.
My friend just got a N4 and ported his old Sprint # into GV. If I call him from my cell using GV, he gets the call. If I call him from my home phone, it just rings on my end an he never hears it. If he calls his cell from his home phone or his daughters cell, it says the # has been disconnected. Ever hear of anything like that? Any advice? I set up mine and my wife's N4's the same way with zero problems. He has the GV app on his phone presumably configured correctly as well as his GV account with his N4 on ST listed as the forwarding phone.
Here is my issue...
I'm on Tmobile's $30/mo prepaid plan. I want to use google voice to ring my nexus as I've been using a GV number for the last year or so. So in other words, I don't want to use my carrier number, I want my GV number to ring the phone. I had succeeded in doing this with my GS3 and Galaxy Nexus before without any issues. When I call my GV number from another phone, it won't ring my nexus, and eventually goes to GV voicemail.
What makes it stranger is that I was able to get it to ring once or twice by calling my GV #, but trying the call again would result in the Nexus not ringing anymore.
I have tried doing the **004*XXXXXXXXXXX# codes a dozen times getting a message like "Call forwarding Connection problem or invalid MMI code."
I've tried deleting the phone from my computer on the GV page and adding it back again. No success there.
I'm short on ideas. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm not interested in using VOIP. I want to use the cellular network because the call quality is better than any VOIP solution. I just want my GV number to be in front of my tmobile number.
If I understand correctly you want people to call your GV number, and GV to forward/ call your device on the device's number?
If so, all you should have to do is log into GV on the computer, put your device's number into the settings, verify you have the phone, and it should be set up.
I have it set up that way with T-Mobile prepaid, and never had any issues. If you are doing those things and it is still not working, please elaborate more.

I'm having a similar issue, I have a Nexus 4, I'm on the T-Mobile $30 plan, I go to verify my T-Mobile # on GV and after I hit "Connect" it says 'Verifying your phone...' for 30 seconds or so, then says "We could not verify your phone. Please try again.".
I've tried calling from at least a dozen computers, nothing, my phone never rings, no matter how much signal I have or what, it's INFURIATING.
I just got setup on this same tmo plan, and I'm having similar issues with GV. I managed to get GV to forward incoming calls to my tmo phone number, but If I call out, it still uses my tmo number regardless of whether I have GV set to make all calls. The GV voice mail also is screwy. If someone calls my phone and I let it ring and don't pick up, it will go to GV, but if I tell the phone to ignore the call, it goes to tmo voice mail. This 30$ plan is just what I've been looking for but honestly its really aggravating that it all worked flawless on Straightalk with ATT sim. I don't want to have to use GrooveIP or some other app to call constantly through GV, when it worked properly on ATT's network. Tmo, definitely has to work to do in this area.
Here's how I got it to work.
Went to google voice and put in my work deskphone number.
Verified it, then boom, I have a verified number.
Used that to set up a google voice number that's 3 numbers off from my old one (Same area code, first three different, last 4 the same) and paid $4.99 for GrooVe IP, logged into my Google Voice account and now I can make calls to and from my google voice number. Be sure to download an app called Contact Cleanup or something like that, I think GrooVe IP needs you to have your phone numbers in international format to dial. Also, my only real complaint about this is occasionally someone will call my old number because my new one wont ring, but signging out and back into GrooVe IP seems to fix this.
Every few days I try to verify my cell number with no luck, I was reading and the best I can come up with is it's either a fault, or something on purpose, on T-Mobile's end.
And FYI my phone shows up with my GV number on caller ID, and text messages, and all that jazz, I sent out a few dozen text messages using GV online to everyone in my contacts list know to only use my old number for emergencies.
I haven't using a single minute on my T-Mobile plan since I did this like 2 weeks ago, I love it.
Two things to keep in mind.
1) "Forward calls to" phone numbers can only be used in one GV account at a time. Otherwise you could create 100 Gmail/GV accounts and forward them to one line. I had this issue trying to add my home phone to both my GV and my spouse's GV account. Many free SIP DID's have this as a known issue. Google can remove the number, but it's a painful process.
2) The Nexus 4 has a ARP issue on WiFi. Ping your phone LAN IP after you lock the screen to see what I mean. This has caused some issues with some VOIP apps.

Are you using the same gmail on your phone as the account you originally created the GV number on?
I was having this problem and I transferred the # to my new gmail, problem solved.
