Lets try a new approach to this for the phone feature. Since we know it dials out on activations, lets try getting log cats of it. Same goes for a failed call. Compare the two

It dials out with what? If there isn't a dialer app on it what is it using? Or, are you saying it dials out with the dialer app and then disappears?
Netdial allows for calling over 3g and is free in the market. Works the same as the dialer.

Only Verizon versions call out to activate.
Tmo doesn't.

I read on a blog that if you add your google voice number to a calling circle plan (like my faces or the thing they have for Verizon), that all your outgoing calls will be free if you set GV to make the calls from your phone during the initial GV setup.
My question is that when i dial out, i notice a popup that google voice says its calling they GV but the number that pops up isn't my GV number. Am i doing something wrong?

As far as I'm aware, you can't do it through the official app because it changes the outgoing numbers.
I do it using the calling card method(call my google voice number, then choose option 2, then dial the outgoing number), and I've got my sister's phone set to do it with an app I found in the market that automates it. I don't recall the app, but I can find out if you want.

Well you can add the connection number to the list and it will be free when you call out but that number changes randomly, i had mines setup in the friends and family and about three months of usage they changed the number so i went ahead and changed it again on the friends and family. They say that the number is changed but not daily more like every couple of months like it has happened to me, in conclusion you will be using 2 slots of the friends and family one for your GV number so its free when they call you to your GV number and one for the connection number so its free when you call out thru GV.

That sucks. Friends and family takes 24 hours for a new number in the list to take effect. And that means i have to keep an eye on the dial out number all the time to see if its changed or not.

My friend uses it on his laptop cuz he doesn't have a phone, so I figure I can give him my old hero to use gv on and have it as a little pmp when he's not in wifi spots.
It works using wifi, right?

No its not VOIP. if he wants to do that give him your hero and have him use skype. Google voice is another # that is just linked to your main cell #. When someone calls my Google voice it rings both my home phone, cell phone and my pc if its logged into google voice. whic ever I pick up gets the call. It can also do txt and voicemail. The main reason I use it is for work. I have that as my work # and give my true cell to friends. When I see a call coming in from GV I know its a work call.

Ohhhh that actually cleared it up for me! So gv would be like having dual sim cards lol nice!
so he should try skype? Isn't it $.10 a minute for skype calls? Or is that just for international calls?

Does a google voice call use our minutes? Or does it qualify for unlimited like a mobile to mobile call?

Yes it use's minutes and I doubt it counts for m2m. When I was on att I set my GV number as one of my free #'s to call so any out or incoming calls for GV got counted for m2m. I have yet to get a sprint bill but I doubt it will count as m2m

Ya, I can confirm the comment above. Any outgoing call with Google Voice, from your mobile to another number, is considered a Mobile to Landline call (and is not considered part of mobile to mobile).
I use sprint, however, and pay $5 extra a month, adding my GV number as my Sprint-to-Home number. Since I've had my GV# as my primary number that I give out for the past few years, I use the app (free or donate) GV Callback. Basically, any time I make an outgoing call, it dials my own GV number, and routes the outgoing call through there.
Google voice basically assigns a unique (within your account *only*) phone number for each of your contacts. If you call or send a text to that unique number, it shows up on their end as coming from your Google Voice number.
The PITA is, Google changes this number periodically. If you have people SMSing your Google Voice number, and your receive it in Handcent (for example), you'll see what each of your contacts' access numbers are.
Using google voice to text has proven to be a problem. The tab was never activated and does not have a phone number associated with it so I cant associate the tab with my google voice number.

Go to IPKall and get a free #. Look at the VoIP call set up for Sprint in Dev forum. Once you have your own number that will associate with GV, it should work. Voice work (calling back) so I assume text should to.
I've done this just fine.i bought both my tabs outright from both sprint and at&t. Use sip droid with voice with out EVER having a number assigned to the tab.
Read what is stated above cause I did.

If so have you got it to work on your phone, I set it up as I did on my Tilt 2 and all seemed fine...
So today I get a voicemail and I dial my You Mail number and it says I have no messages
So I then call my number to be brought to the att voicemail box and my message is waiting in here
Any insight would help
Mine isnt having issues. Just tried it to be sure. Sounds like for some reason your att mailbox is in use now. Try resetting up youmail maybe?
I'm having the same problem
I set up YouMail but all my voicemails are still going to my old voicemail box. When I first installed it, it seemed to work fine and it downloaded some messages. But now all new messages go to the old voicemail box. Do anybody have any ideas?
i stumbled across (you mail) last night, got excited installed it, went to register and of course gotta have a US number for it to work. yet again Canadians no go.
EDIT: sorry for the rant. it has nothing to do with your questions, just saw the post and decided to reply.
I had to change the numbers in the call forwarding section of the phone settings. Did the same in the voicemail settings. Now when I push and hold "1" it dials YouMail.

This did not work I got
Call forwarding
Connection problem or invalid MMI code
You'll need to set it manually go to settings -> call settings -> call forwarding
You'll change: when busy, unanswered, unreachable
Use the number +17142043114

I prefer using YouMail over GV for my answering service.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
it's crazy... mine works, but i never set it up. i was using it on my iPhone 4, then started using the wp7 for a little bit and it was going to youmail. then i switched to my atrix and it continues to work w/o having to set it up again.
i'm guessing the quick code above changed my deposit number in at&t's system.
for the record: i did set it up on my i4, but haven't had to on any phone after.
Unless your call forwarding gets changed it should keep working.

install the google voice app, then set it up to use your google voice number when maling calls via your default dialer.
I have installed the Google voice app and and I'm using the stock dialer... Gvoice is using the number i want and I'm texting from that... I just don't see where to set it up to make calls from that number ... It was ported from a Sprint account, and on the actual google voice account page it has a sprint logo on it...anything special I need to do?

from sprint i have no idea. but i have it set to ask me which number to use every time before i call. that option comes up when you first install google voice, as youre setting it up.
I can't help you with Sprint Google Voice integration. With regular Google Voice you just set it up in google.com/voice, in the Calls tab of Settings.
Then make calls using the Google Voice app. Or you can use GrooveIP or Talkatone.

Have you tried the settings in GVoice app? Do you see "Making calls"? If yes, select that and then choose "Ask every time when making calls" then the app will ask each time you make a call or "use GVoice for all calls"
Using the Google Voice app is the way to go, when you set it up remember to select "Ask every time" or "Use every time" and when you enter a number or dial from your contact directory, it must have all 10 digits or the GV app won't route the call, even on a local call...
Google Voice turned on:
Dial 222-1234 - Goes out via carrier
Dial 202-222-1234 - Goes out via Google Voice
For some reason people just don't seem to get that sometimes.
so what had happened was I installed the app first, and didnt bring my tmo number in because i thought there was a charge for that. I later added it on the website when i realized there wasn't, and because i had already set up the app i never got that prompt you guys were talking about. So I cleared the data on the app and then it asked me what i wanted to make calls from. Thanks for the help.
