I just flashed ICS to my daughters phone and now am unable to get google voice to work. Reflashed Cyanogen, that my son uses on his and still the same problem, not able to verify the phone. Neither phone has its own number, meaning they do not have cell service, but are strictly used only when connected to wifi. I cant figure out what I am doing wrong, and there is no help line for google voice that i can find. The phone will call out, but is just static on the other end and no voice can be heard. From the phone number that was called that voice can be heard on her phone. I use google voice in conjunction with groove ip. Any suggestions?
a friend experimented the same problems when he tests ICS, any suggestions will be good

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.
GrooveIP does not work for me on N 4.
Did anyone manage to make it work?
It works fine on my other devices w/same username/password.
could you elaborate a bit?
in what way does it not work?
it works just fine for me. i'm running the latest pa (3.65 from 7/10) and the latest franco nightly (r163).
Works fine for me...even used it 2weeks ago while in Canada.
Works fine for me. Better call quality then cellular.
I use it for the most part without issue. If you are trying to use it over you network and not wifi you net to go into the settings and check 3G/4G calling.

I actually had trouble with it and didn't have time to troubleshoot yet. Check out GV Phone. Worked for the couple of test calls that I did.

I've had some troubles with GrooveIP this past month and a half. It works sometimes when I try, but receiving calls is very hit-and-miss. The app doesn't maintain connection to Google Voice very well. I tried using it as my main source of voice, but it hasn't worked well for me so I have to switch back to using cell minutes. It's weird; when it acts up, the app thinks it's connected to Voice, but it definitely isn't. Incoming calls hit Google Voice, but don't ring my phone. Outgoing calls don't even get to Google Voice, the app just sits at "Dialing..." and doesn't do anything. I've posted in a few threads on these forums and on their Play store page so hopefully they figure out what's wrong.
GrooveIP works well
I am on stock ROM and also tried it with CM 10.1
I have absolutely no issues. Used it in Canada as well as Hong Kong. Had it on N4 from day one. Previously used it on Atrix. HTC One S without any issues as well.

If you have Google Voice set for forwarding your Google Voice number to your phone, that is most likely the reason you are not receiving incoming calls to GrooveIP. Turn the forwarding off and then recheck the behavior.

I have Google Voice only forwarding to Google Chat, which I believe is what GrooveIP uses (correct me if I'm wrong). I've ticked almost every option in GrooveIP, allowed it to use all wakelocks and everything. It just sometimes disconnects from the servers and refuses to reconnect automatically because it thinks that it is still connected when it isn't. I even have it reconnect to the servers every 5 minutes, still nothing. I have to manually go in and refresh the connect (by re-logging into Google Voice through GrooveIP)

Hmmm... not seeing that here, of course I only pretty much use it on wi-fi. Are you using it on cell data when you see this behavior?
I just ran into problem today for 1st time where Im unable to receive calls, but Im able to dial-out. I have Google Voice with Sprint integration and number does ring from Gmail Web dialer, which I can answer/talk. Problem seems to have started after installing a TW/MJA rom which I wont mention since I dont think thats the problem. I have tried restoring a nandroid and update profile/prl but problem persists. My wife has a pure stock S4 still on MF9 and has no problems in same location. Not sure how to try reconnecting S4 to Sprint's network. Any ideas?
Ok, problem solved!! Apparently Google Voice integration was the problem. I disabled integration via Google Voice Web options and calls started to ring on phone. Now will try to re-enable GV integration.
I'm not sure what is happening here but i can't get my phone to place calls via Google Voice. Anyone else use Google Voice on their stock G6 successfully? If I dial a number the stock phone dialer calls the GV relay number but I never hear it ring on my end. If they answer I can't hear them either.
I'm on software version h87211g on T-Mobile. Completely stock phome. Did the BOGO deal and the problem happens on both of these phones.
I've been using GV for years and never experienced this. It works as it should on any other phone I test it on. LG Stylo 3, Galaxy S9, S9+ Note5, erc...
I can factory reset this phone, install Google Voice and no bueno. Can't make calls with GV.
Just tried again. Reset and wiped the phone to factory stock and did default setup. I let Google and LG do whatever updates it needed to do. Everything works perfectly. I went to the play store and downloaded Google Voice and setup normally and have it set to use my GV number to make all calls as I always have. Try to make a call and it never rings. The receiving line will ring but when they answer no audio is passed through.
I just grabbed my old Note 5, reset it back to stock and did the same process. Installed Google Voice and it works perfectly. Also grabbed an old LG F3 I had in a drawer and it worked on it also. Seems to be some combo issue with this dialer, maybe VOLTE and who knows what. It doesn't seem to make a difference if I have VOLTE on or off or if WiFi is on or off. It just doesn't work for me on this phone.

That is very odd. I also have the h87211g and Google voice works flawlessly. Can you try calling once from the dialer within the Google Voice app and see if that works?

Didn't work. It brings up the stock dialer, calls the relay number then no audio. Person called does receive the call but they can't hear anything and it never tells me the call connected on my end.
I found an older version of GV from January and get the same issue. Just installed Hangouts and the Hangouts dialer and it will make calls fine.
I can receive calls fine on GV also. Just cant make them. Two brand new and identical G6 doing this.
I'm going to stop by the TMO store and get a new SIM just to try anything at this point.
I had to use hangouts dialer

Google voice not working on your phone either?
Got new SIM. Same issue.

Yes it's working. I could always send texts but to be able to make calls I had to download the Google Hangouts dialer.
Finally got it to work. Ended up giving the G6 to my wife who doesn't use Google Voice and took her S9 which she complained would drop calls
Now both our problems are solved. I have a properly working Goole Voice and she says the call quality is better. Bigger battery is a plus for her too. Not sure how but she can put in a good four or five hours talking to ONE person.

Sounds like you didn't actually get it to work, you just worked around the problem
I'm on AT&T and GV calling works fine for me. So I can't provide any direct data here and I don't have any need for a solution. But I would still prefer to see an explanation for why this wasn't working (and preferably a fix) since it could help others who are affected.
What I would have suggested is: manually call into your own GV number and hit the button when it answers (* or #, I forget which) that lets you get in and listen to messages and make calls. Try dialing out from that menu and see how it works. Also, you didn't mention whether you had the same problem regardless of who you called, or whether you were able to test from different locations (and thus using a different cell tower).
It seems most likely that there is some issue with the G6's implementation of VoLTE (and possibly only in your area). The only place I know I have made GV calls, I often won't have an LTE signal so I can't confirm whether it works over AT&T's VoLTE, but it would be even more interesting if it did not.

I'd love to get to the bottom of it. I'll test it again when and if another system update comes out for this thing. I've added a few more things I've done to see if I could figure it out. The only thing I haven't done is try a SIM for a different carrier such as ATT or Cricket. The results of any test were the same. Outbound calling through Google Voice would never ring on my end and I could never hear anything. Two different G6 phones, brand new, stock, etc...
I tested on Wifi, regular LTE, VOLTE on or off. Same results. The other party may or may not be able to hear me or it may or may not even ring on their end. No particular setting with regard to being on wifi, LTE, VOLTE on or off made any consistent difference. Inbound calling always worked fine.
I also downloaded and installed a modified Pixel phone dialer to replace the LG version. I was hoping it was some bug in their dialer doing this. The dialer worked on my Note5 and S9 and worked on the G6 when installed also. Once setup and working I put Google Voice back on and tried to make a call. Same issue. It will not ring on outbound and if someone did answer, I couldn't hear them.
I've used Google Voice for 7+ years, with every Android I've ever owned and every ROM I've ever flashed....Even the locked down Samsung S10+ I just replaced with this Pixel, had no issues.
I cannot get Google Voice to work? I try the same code I always use, and I get an error... I've tried forwarding my calls to the GV number, but it tells me this service is not available?
I've re-set up my GV and have uninstalled/reinstalled several times.
I discovered that there are several posts across the internet that have the same issue, but no resolve.
Has anyone gotten this to work?
