been rooted since Nov, Tried a variety of roms, but it seems that the Google Voice Voicemail is not actually recordingmy voicemails and notifying me.
I tried unisntalling and re-installing the App. Any other suggestions?
Running DC 2.08.1
Did you go online to your Voice account and set up the service with your phone? You have to go on and follow the instructions on the site to set up the conditional forwarding to Google Voice. Then you open the app, set it up, change your voicemail number to your Google Voice number, and you should be set.
It will give you a set of numbers to dial to set it up. It is something like *29 followed by your voice phone number. Go to the help section to find it. It won't allow you to do it from the settings menu alone on sprint.

Has anyone tried using Gizmo/SIP in conjunction with 'google voice' and 'google voice call back' app? If you have myfaves on tmobile, you can get unlimited free calling using just google voice. However, if you dont have myfaves feature (like me ), there is a complicated or not so complicated workaround which can give u free unlimited calling on 3g.
so who has tried this and how was your experience?

That thread is outdated.
pbxes.org has direct peering with google voice. It's much, much easier to set up now.
I posted some instructions here
http://androidforums.com/android-applications/252222-google-voice-pbxes-org-sipdroid-free-calls.html
You just need google voice installed, then download sipdroid from the market and it pretty much sets everything up automatically from there.
Quick Summary of the directions.
Get a google voice number and install google voice app.
Install sipdroid (free in market)
Run sipdroid and click the link at the bottom that says new PBX linked to my google voice
Verify your google voice account email is correct and enter your google voice password below (yes, you are giving them your password). Enter your pbxes.org password below that (that's creating a new password, so it can be anything).
Click Configure or Save. I don't recall exactly what it says at that step.
You might need to go into google voice->voice settings->phones and make sure you have a google chat account there and that it's enabled for forwarding.
Make and Receive VoIP calls using sipdroid. When you make outbound calls, your google voice number will appear as the caller ID. With inbound calls, as long as you have google talk checked off as a forwarding number in google voice and you have sipdroid running, sipdroid will "ring" and you can answer the call over VoIP.
Call history will appear in Google Voice AND on pbxes.org (even if sipdroid isn't open).
You might also have to check off the 3g option if you want to to work on 3g as well as wifi.
get magicjack and you can run a software hack to get your sip info from your magicjack device, then you have unlimited calls over wifi and 3g for only 20 bucks a year.

Except that MagicJack is garbage.
I have used Gizmo with GV and it works pretty good. Also used Sipgate with GV and that works good as well. That is for people who doesn't have a Gizmo account. Just make sure that all your phonecalls are made with GV when dialing out.
Also you can use Gizmo or Sipgate in conjunction with Sipsorcery, and setup your homephone if you have a PAP2T-NA and you can get rid of your homephone. I think that is where the nice value is.
I beg to differ Magicjack calls were alot better than sipgate.

I've seen them on ebay. But, no point, really if you do it the updated way with GV and Sipdroid app.
Im trying to setup GV with sipdroid. I followed the steps. BUt The notification bar has a messege from sipdroid that says "[email protected]
Registration failed (404 not found)"
I tried making calls with sipdroid but its not working either. Also, the red dot in the notification bar is in red color ...does this mean sipdroid is not active or there is a problem with it?

I think this part makes this not worth it. Apart from your email, it has your Google Checkout which would make it easy for anyone to abuse it for purchases on the web. Even accepting that pbxes.org/sipdroid would never do it, if they get hacked, you are likely to be SOL. Avoidable.
If they could change the process to use OAUTH, it would be a lot safer.
Thanks lex! few quetions...

I setup using the instructions posted by lexluthor, outbound calls work when using the sipdroid application, but i don't know if inbound calls are using minutes or not... I set a different ringtone for sipdroid but it rings my default ringer... any thought?

log onto your account on https://www4.pbxes.com/ and click on 'call monitor' on the left. This will show the call log. I hope im right on this.
open your sipdroid app... go to settings > SIP Account > scroll down and check the box next to 'Use 3G'.
Not sure about ringtone... as my set up says 'registration failed'

Thanks for the tip. Yea I'm thinking gizmo5 will be available very soon again for free since the net neutrality laws just got passed. Gonna be interesting since cell phone companies will no longer be able to block competitors, including VOIP and tethering.

How did you get it to work? Mine says registration failed (404 not found)
The notification bar has a messege from sipdroid that says "[email protected]

Did you try to use your username and password at the pbxes.org website? If that works then check the settings for sipdroid on your phone, the first SIP Account should be filled in with your username-200, the -200 might be different but that's what I have. You can check this number on the website and clicking on Extensions. Also, check the password. It should register.
[SOLVED]Your call cannot be completed as dialed
I have a green icon on the noti bar and it says registed, but when i make a call I get the operator: "Your call cannot be completed as dialed. please try your call again later"
Anyone knows whats going on or how can I fix it?
I resolved this....
Had to go into the pbxes.org site and go into Trunks>GTALK...>and set my real gmail password. I'm kind of wary about this but for free calls I'll do it. Now to delete all my google check out info

Thanks. Everything was set up fine on my end except the user name on SIP line one...where I didn't have the '-200' after my login id. Once I fixed that, I got a green dot and made a couple of test calls and I think its working fine now.
Its horrible that we have to give our google pass to the pbxes website.... to be honest, its kinda scary..I also had to delete all my google checkout info. Hopefully, this safety issue will be addressed soon.
Just a question though: Will my call history and voice mails be saved in Google Talk inbox like it used to be before?
Figured it out: Call history does show up in google voice account.
A caveat: SIP Droid app has to be running to be able to make and receive calls on it. If you exit it, you wouldn't be able to receive or place calls using it.
I will be checking how much battery SipDroid consumes. Post your experiences!!!!
Just switched to the Nexus 4g and loving it. The only issue I'm having is now texts and voicemails are not coming through to the GV app or online, only the stock messaging. Anyone else having this problem? I can initiate texts through the GV app and the browser, but that's it.
I tried clearing the data and reinstalling. Nothing. When I go to voicemail under settings, Google Voice is not listed as a choice.
How do you have your number setup. Is it ported? I would start with checking your online settings, but more information is needed.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G
Also, when you call VM, are you getting Sprint's VM or are you getting GV Voice mail? That's another good place to start to see if you're fully ported over.
Dial *28 and your google voice area code and number then hit send. Did you set up conditional call forwarding? There might also be a setting in calls section to select voicemail. Carrier or google voice.
Personally, I would stay away from that porting your number can of worms. To me it's more trouble than it's worth. There's really not much or any difference between the old way of having them separate. You have more control if you use the old way. You also don't have that mms snafu like you would if you integrated.
I just read your post again. Something isn't set up right if there isn't a choice. I think I know. Go to the market and download google voice again and install it on top of itself. Make sure you are logged out of gv on your phone before doing this. I think updating breaks integration and let's you use gv the old fashioned way.
I'm looking and I don't see anything talking about google voice setup.

Well, when I go through the config setup for Google Voice, the com.android.phone quits.
So, I went into phone, and selected Call settings, then Voice Mail Service, and select Google. It Asks 'Change to new provider?'. After a few seconds, it responses with 'Forwarding Voice Number failed'.
I also tried entering my Google Voice number in Voice Mail Settings for My Carrier, but all that does is provide a number to call for voice mail. Of course, that did seem to forward to my Google Voice Mail number. At this point I'm not sure if there are any implications of setting it up this way.

I had the same experience. Google Voice works but the voicemail change didn't. So I opened the phone app and pressed the menu key and went to call settings. Then I went to voicemail carrier and Google Voice was an option. I selected the option and it asked if I wanted to change the provider and after I clicked yes it worked. So it just looks like the wizard failed for me but doing it manually seemed to work fine.

That didnt work for me, and in fact, the only thing that worked for me when i had the LG Nitro HD and the HTC One X, and now the GS3, the only thing that works is to open the phone app, hit the Menu > Call Settings > Call Forwarding > Voice call.
Keep Always Forward set to disabled, and set everything else to the google voice number, including the +1.. So if your google voice number is (123)456-7890, then each of the 3 lines would all say +11234567890

Haven't tried it yet, but I do expect that to work. I used that type of coding (as outlined in this Wiki page) in a Tasker script to forward my phone home automatically when hooked to my home WiFi.
I can't find what the *11* is for at the end of it. Do you know?

I typed in that code. Goto a positive mesage back.
So then I went into settings and tried to set up the voice mail again, and it is stil failing.
However, Upon checking the Voice Mail setings for Cal Forwarding, all thre of the phone numbers are set to my GV number.
That should be all... You don't need to go through gvoice setup again if you used the code

I finally got GV to be my voicemail again.
From the phone app, menu button>Call settings.
Scroll down and select Call forwarding.
Select Voice call.
Select Always forward.
Enter GV number, and then Enable.
Turn off: Select Disable.
Select Update.
Now the forward when busy, unanswered and unreachable will be turned on and the "always forward" will be off.
Then you just have to go back to Call Settings and change the voicemail number to your GV number. Voicemail>Voicemail Settings.
It will still say My Carrier in voicemail service and such, but it functions properly.
I posted this in the Google Voice thread in the General section, but I'll put it here too. This works, same as the others, but this actually gets the system to change everything to say Google Voice is handling your voicemail:
Actually, I found a workaround I had to use with the Infuse...
Yes, you have to do the call forwarding code again: *004*[Google Voice Number]#
Then in your dialer settings, select Google Voice as your voicemail service. It will give you an option box popup which asks you to hit cancel or OK. Just hit the home button to leave the menu. When you go back in, Google Voice is selected, your Google Voice # is your voicemail number, and everything is set up properly.

I had to go to google.com/voice and sign my compadre up for a new number, then it started working properly after following the number forwarding.
Thanks!
From another similar thread, the solution is as above mentioned with the numbers; basically log into google voice from your computer -- go to settings and then the part where it lists your mobile numbers added to your account. Click deactivate voicemail -- it'll give you a code to punch into your dialer on your phone. Then click activate -- and it will give you a code to punch in to change the call forwarding settings.
Anyone else seeing google Voice giving the failed forward message when selected as the voice mail provider?
I believe I have it working through manual entry, but it still shows carrier voice mail as my selection from the dialer settings menu.
Happened to me too. Not fun
