Has anybody been able to successfully add their intercept to the new Sprint integration to use your Google voice number as your Sprint number?
The other lines on my account (Epic 4g) had no problems. I am wondering if it is the intercept itself that is the problem.
i am unable.
Cannot use google voice mail service on my Virgin Mobile Samsung Intercept. Have not attempted to see if there is a work around available.
Google voice mail works on the VM Intercept...the messages are downloaded to the phone as a media file (sound) and play on the built in media player.
I hade no luck with it also.

I've got a question concerning dialing a business via Google Maps. On Windows Mobile when you dial a google maps location the contact name on your phone will be the google listing, however this doesn't appear to be the case with Android. I figured this would be standard functionality with all of the Google integration. Does this exist on any Android phones or possibly in Froyo? I really liked this feature on my old phone as I could reference my call log to call business back.
As some of you know, you can now place FREE calls to anywhere in the US or Canada using GMail and the "voice and video chat plugin". You can also receive calls from within GMail if you have a GoogleVoice account and you set it up to forward GoogleVoice calls to "Google Chat" as well as your phone(s).
This is awesome! I can now answer calls from GMail instead of my phone. I wish the desktop GoogleTalk app did that so I wouldn't have to always keep a webbrowser page open to GMail, but that is not what this post is about...
I got to thinking: if GMail can place and receive free phone calls, why can't I do that on my phone (or any device with internet)? I downloaded every available webbrowser for Android and tried to surf to GMail, but none of them even loaded the page (???), much less the plugin.
While searching for any possible solution, I learned that the required "voice and video chat plugin" is available for Linux. This fact makes me almost positive that it is somehow possible for someone to develop an Android app that loads that plugin, logs in to GMail (spoofing a desktop browser), and displays the Pop-out dial pad capable of placing and receiving free calls!
Is anyone up to the challenge? This is huge people! FREE phone where ever there is internet. I hope someone can make this happen on Android devices, since it already works perfect on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
EDIT: Lots of info in the SIPdroid thread I found after posting this, but it still would be nice to just make an XMPPdroid app and not have to deal with connecting Jabber to SIP. If my linux PC can make free Google VOIP calls without setting up additional SIP and PBXes accounts, then my Android phone should be able to too.
Great idea! Im sure others are working on it. Im all for free calling wherever there is internet. Not sure if the cell phone carriers ate gonna like it.

I've thought the same, currently I'm using SipDroid>pbxes>sipsorcery>sipgate>GV. Anything a bit simpler would be great. Plus when i try to hook up a friend, at least one of those sites aren't open to the public;gizmo is a simpler setup, hasnt been open since google bought it and has been sitting on it ever since. If I find anything I'll post here
this would be really nice. cell carriers are already ripping us off unnecessarily. this would give us some ways out
PBXes added support for the gtalk trunk recently and their latest sipdroid application can even set that all up for you today. In the end you'll have sipdroid->pbxes->gtalk with direct dialing.
I've been using it for a week or so now and it works better than any other solution I've tried, except for a sipdroid/android bug where a bluetooth disconnect causes the phone to reboot.
Dont know if anyoine knows this but google talk(pc app) allows free calling to any number in canada and the usa. since everyone has a google account of course already to use android its as simple as opening gmail on your pc, then look for the tab that says talk. it opens a reg phone dialer and away you go. Not restricted to contacts, or nothing. Sorry if its already posted. I use wifi on my laptop and calls are fairly good quality, some static but its free!!
Hi, I have two Galaxy S4's. They are model numbers SGH-I337 and SGH-M919V. Recently I was prompted to update ChatOn to version 3.2.137, so I did. Then I got prompted to update ChatOn Voice and Video Chat to version 1.5.0.31. I get two options to update, through Google Play Store or Samsung App Store. When I choose Google Play Store, it says my device is not compatible. When I choose Samsung App Store it says file not found. So basically I am unable to update the voice and video chat feature for ChatOn. This feature was working just fine when I first got the phones. So now when I open ChatOn I am prompted to update Voice And Video Chat, but I decline the update since it won't allow me anyways. But when I decline the update ChatOn closes. So now I am completely unable to use ChatOn all together. I've emailed the ChatOn support and they're totally useless. Based of their response, they don't even know ChatOn and ChatOn Voice and Video come preloaded on my model Galaxy S4's. And this is Samsung's own ChatOn support team. If anyone knows of this problem, any help would be appreciated. If not, then I guess I'll just have to install WhatsApp or BBM. I'd prefer to stick with ChatOn as it's preloaded and it has voice and video chat.
Mine never worked
I stopped trying and started using Google Hangouts. Excellent for chats, group chats and video chats.
+1 for hangouts.

I'm on PN rom and google fi - and not receiving contact cards via Hangouts (also tried with messenger, but no go). I thought it was just from iPhone, but from android wasn't working either. Was able to get it working from google Messenger though.
I did find out that they removed the ability to receive contact cards via MMS, but I did find I could get it to work by turning off hangouts integration. It's wonky, but can work. Haven't had any luck finding out what old versions worked.

Update: After further testing, this is not a Google Hangouts issue, it's a Project Fi sms integration issue. vCards work fine, in Hangouts, when integration is turned off.
