Did anyone received a google email that reads as follow?
Hello, You have been invited to start enjoying the benefits of the Sprint integration before anyone else! We are interested in your feedback as we roll this out to the entire user base and have listed a link to a form where you can send feedback and/or questions

Here's a short video demonstration of it http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/24/google-voice-for-sprint-hands-on/
and the official sites:

I guess I've become a total Android/Google whore. I hope they buy Sprint and just bury all the other wireless companies XD

I just did recently, however I am still not sure if this has advantages over having the app. Its either all in or not. I still prefer being able to choose which way I dial out. Whats needed is an option to check off in contacts to force google voice as preferred # to use as dailing out.
The 'integration' feature seems to take away the option to use googlevoice as a way to seperate personal and business use of a single line...?

This service renders your sms/text applocation useless.
You muat use google voice app to recieve text.
Am i missing something? Does google voice have an api for the text? Is that possible to implement that into a sms app?

Voice Plus from the market. You put your contacts into groups in gmail on your pc, set google voice to always dial with google voice (using the widget) and then choose the group in Voice Plus. This is how I call delivery restaurants in my area It works perfectly. I forget about it most of the time.

You have to forward texts to your mobile and turn off notifications for google voice. I am using handcent with google voice and its perfect once I figured that out.
I like having my house phone and cell phone ring when I get a call.

So if we use the integration (just got my invite), we will only have the option of using one phone number? Just to be clear, I have my Sprint number and a separate GV number. If I go ahead with the integration, I have to choose which number I want to keep using?

So their finally making their move. I was warned about this some time ago.

+1 for Voice Plus. It works perfectly. I have no intention of giving up one of my two numbers when this little app makes everything seemless. The only thing I don't like (and this has nothing to do with voice plus) is that any call that is in any way routed through GV right now does not count as a mobile-to-mobile.

The only problem with this is Notifications for Voice Mail is affected too. Id like to retain notifications for VM but maybe they will add this in the future to disable notifications for the 2 services

As long as GV using my mimutes instead 3G I'm not impress.

Even better google has a pretty good video about the service and different ways it can ne used. Its pretty bad on the evo forum as well people dont understand that you do not need the app on your phone to use your phone normally.

until google bypasses POTS, gv calls will always be non m 2 m. this is because of the charges associated with POTS and mandated by federal laws.

I use the Google Voice callback app along with Sprint's Sprint to Home plan (extra $5/Month) in conjunction to Google Voice to bypass the Landline to Mobile charge. Works great.

Google Voice my new Messaging app? G-Voice Integration

So, I recently activated the Google Voice + Sprint integration and certain things about it are absolutely awesome. My only gripe with it is that all text messages are now coming in to my G-Voice app and ignoring the default messaging app on my phone. I can reply from my Messaging app and it shows up in G-Voice but new texts that come in skip the Messaging app completely.
Has anyone found a way around this behavior? G-Voice app is a nice-enough messaging client, but by no means ideal.

That's the reason I de-integrated.

There is a fix I will post back when I'm at a computer.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

not an expert, in fact, i use my evo as a wifi device only. But im somewhat certain that you can edit these settings while you are logged on to google voice on a computer.

don't need to integrate to use GV...been using GV as my voice mail forever!!
Only issue is that you will have to maintain two different numbers...your Sprint number and your GV number.
Set up you can set up your GV as your voicemail...by having conditional call forwarding on your phone. Do believe I set it up thru Sprint directly...having the call forwarded to my GV number if the phonecall goes unanswered. From there the rules are set thru GV as to which outgoing message to play depending on what number is calling.
Haven't had a problem with getting voicemail at all.
Messaging can still be done thru your sprint number (using your or whichever messaging app) and you can still txt using GV (but it'll be thru your GV number)

Um in the Google voice app in setting u can tell it too send sms as a text to your phone. Doing it right now and turned off Google voice notifications for sms
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

All you need to do is go into the Google Voice application, go to Menu, Settings, Sync And Notifications, and take the check out of the send text message box.
Next.
Log into your Google Voice account on your computer and then click on teh gear icon in the top right hand corner of the page to go into your Google Voice Setting.
Click on the Voicemail Tab and then under the section "Voicemail Notifications" take the check out of both boxes.
You will now no longer receive text messages when you get a voicemail on Google Voice, but you will receive a notification on your phone just like Spring VVM use to do.
Hope that helps.

I think you guys are missing the point. There is no way to separate sms from GV after the integration. You can enable the standard sms app on your cell phone via the online GV settings. Problem with that is you will get 2 notifications from every text received - one from GV and one from the sms app. There is no way to remove notifications from the GV app for sms only.

To make use of the stock sms app on your phone log into GV online, then goto settings> phones> and click edit under your number, then select send texts to this phone. Still you have the issue I noted above.

No you don't. First you change the GV via your browser as you instructed. Then, in your GV phone application you uncheck All boxes in the Sync and Notifications section of the Settings. My phone is behaving as it used to prior to integration. I feel that it is important to integrate in case I want to use my number on someone else's phone, internationally, etc.

Yes, the same way Sprint's VVM currently does, I'm doing this now on CM7, Google Voice is integrated to work that way, when I get a voice mail I don't get an SMS or an email, it just notifies me on my phone in the notification area, does this on a standard EVO rom also.
Just follow the directions I laid out and it will work fine, I've tested it.

Oh, so it notifies you via text. that's still kinda annoying. Yiu have to open the text to find out you have a vm, and then open GV to get the vm. I just turned off notifications in my sms app instead. That way sms goes to high the sms app and GV, but I'm only notified by GV.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

I understand your gripe .... I found it rather annoying as well, so I went a different route and removed GV all together.
When I thought about it there was no point to having it. Instead, I go into the GV app, and select to forward SMS to my phone. I then tell GV to forward VM notifications to my email account. Basically it's the same net result: a email is sent with the transcribed message and a link to play back the voice mail. As a final fix, I made sure the messages went to Gmail so I could tag them and thus easily filter my voice mail.
I would love if GV could notify of voice-mails only ... that way SMS would get forwarded to my SMS app without appearing to get received twice, but I couldn't find an easy way to do that. The other method of turning off all notifications ends up sending a text notification which is not as clean to me IMO.

I know I could do that, but it still seems rather clunky.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

So my phone stopped receiving calls (would ring on the calling side but never rang on my side) and texts. Tried everything and decided to give up and disable this merge. Figured it was too unreliable to be worthwhile.
BTW, what happens if you have cell reception but no data reception? Will your phone not work? That's dumb if that's the case.

So not installing the app and using your phone like normal except for getting an email pushed to is clunky please explain. Intregation wasnt meant to be mind blowing on a device that already has that number but using your sprint number on your house phone and texting people from a tablet with a number they know

Can I ask why you think google voice is a voip that,last sentence you have reads like you have no idea what this service is about.
Google voice will not make calls over 3g it will send sms over 3g but only.in.the app you can have sms sent to you just like you always have and not need to use the google voice app.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

It's clunky because I have to open the email, then click the link to download the voice message as an attachment via the web browser, and then open the attachment, which is played with the music app. It's clunky when it takes 3 apps to do what can be easily done with one app.

You need to go online to remove google voice integration. If you are not receiving the calls, google voice is and you have misconfigured your phone. Go online to google.com/voice and revert those changes. Then uninstall the application from your phone. Should be fine after that.
My other suggestion would be to read everything when installing something on your phone, when you install google voice on the HTC evo or other google voice supported phones there is an option to merge with the google voice account or not, You should select SKIP and not continue. Sometimes people fail to read that part and this happens.
Good Luck!

Calls from tab using your phone app??

Greetings All
I have this app on my phone, which allows me to send and recieve texts via my tab and I like it alot!! http://mightytext.net/
It got me thinking.. Is an app out there or possible to accept calls or make calls in a similar manner as this app??
It would be nice and just use the phone as a ..mm..well..phone hotspot I suppose..

Easy..... first using your Google account, create yourself a Google number, its mainly used for 'Google voice'..... after you set it up, download an app called GrooveIP. Then sign in, and you're done. You can now make and receive calls and texts, get voicemail and everything. Unlimited......on your tablet.....

You can push calls to either your real number, or google number you create, and receive calls and texts on multiple devices. It's all in the google settings portion of creating your number. You 'forward calls' to or from your google number, what ever device has grooveIP installed and signed into will get the call, including your real phone. I give out my 'google number' ..... Not my real one. You'll also receive your voicemails in text format, via email if you want. Google grooveIP..... Read up

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.
