(tmo) Google voice on tab?

just though of something, can we use google voice on the tab by forwarding all the calls from our cell phone and be able to receive/make calls that way? what do you guys think?.

And how do you plan on doing this without actually having ever phone functionality? It obviously will work, getting google voice working on the tab. The real problem is getting the phone functionality, well......functional!

hmm i guess you are right and if we have the phone functionality working then there would be no need for google voice....

Ive never tried GV on android. But im assuming thats how it works (that it integrate into built in dialer) from what ive read

Nice.... thanks for posting that...

You can't receive standard voice calls, but you can set Google Voice to call you on a VoIP line. E.g. I have a Gizmo5 account and use that with CSipSimple to redirect phone calls to.
I found the voice quality over Wifi with headphones to be excellent ;-)

[Q] Voice announcement rather than ring on incoming call?

When I first got my Epic, on an incoming phone call, there would be a voice announcement of either someone on my contact list or a phone number if not on my contact list. I don't remember if this came this way or if somehow a friend of mine set it up this way. Anyway, after I installed the leaked dk28 or sometime after, the phone now does not do voice announcement-is just rings. How can I get back the voice announcement?
Thanks in advance

Go into settings, accessibility and then check talk-back

Thanks for the reply. That program was not installed so I installed it. But now the Epic talks about everything. hahhahah. I just want the Epic to announce phone calls. Thank you again.

I know that its in the stock Tom by default. You could try Vlingo too. I know that you can configure it to read just calls, text, emails, or all of them. It doesn't announce EVERYTHING like talkback does

Go into settings...text to speech....and then speak incoming caller ID.

I tried this too but could not find the above and I really spent a lot of time looking at all the settings but to no avail. Maybe they left it out in Froyo 2.2 that I installed??

There is an app called talking caller id

Google voice integration.

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
What are the benefits of this integration?

Don't know as I dropped that email in the bit bucket.

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.

If you have a google number you can use the Google Talk app. Works for sms.

You mean you can use the Google Voice sms app. Google Talk is just IM

Where can you get the google voice sms app?

It depends on the Telephone provider, try throwing the TelephonyProvider.apk from /system/app/ in a 2.x device onto the TF, and see if it will work then.
It might need some libs too, but idk. Im at work now, cant test it
EDIT::Check /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.telephony.<CDMA or GSM>.xml
I think that would help too

You're right I mean Voice. Lol. Groove IP works great to place inbound and outbound calls on the TF. I've been using it.

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!
