Can anyone out there make a google voice app so you can call through your google voice number or the actual phone number. I had a android phone and that was the best app available? Any GV users out there?
there is one already called iDialer, gooogle is your friend
thanks
yes google is my friend
invite
do i need an invite or can someone post a link
hmmm
the idialer doesn't quite work how i thought. need something closer to the google android app. anyone out there have any answers?
There is also another program that works along with iDialer called iContacts. Though I don't really remember what the android version is like. I guess it's time to boot XAndriod again on the Fuze to see what it looks like.

This is not a google made program either. The program is made by a person on this board I believe. No you do not need an invite to get it try searching got it and you'll find it. If you have a google account just follow the instructions and set it up.
GV Dialer
Any luck on a google voice app
Browser version is available...
I've used Google Voice through the web browser. It's not "pretty" but it works.

ok am i missing something here. i need google voice for work purposes and i downloaded idialer and relized it does not work with windows 6.5 it says because of the internet explorer does not support it. i went to download gvdailer and they are not allowing downloads anymore cant even buy it. and google voice doesnt have an app for wm. so my question is, what do i have to do to get google voice on my phone so i can dial out from my gv number? Thank you in advance
New to android, and was wondering if there is an app that will do voicemail like iphone? I think evo has it.

Yeah, if I had to choose one thing I miss about my iPhone, it would be visual voicemail. Would definitely like to see a mod for it.
Google Voice
Google Voice is the best/free app that comes to my mind (works great for me), however I'm sure if you Google or just look for apps on the marketplace they shouldn't be hard to find...
the best visual voicemail app ive found is called youmail
I use Google voice for visual voicemail.

Duh, I completely forgot about my Google Voice account. I need to set that up haha.
Visual voicemail by Fusion
There is an app called visual voicemail. It is made by Fusion. Works great for me. I used it with Windows mobile. Had an account back then. I even get faxes to my cell number. All free when I signed up with Windows Mobile.
I don't think this belongs in the development section
this definitely belongs in general. keep the development section open for roms and fixes etc.
Anyone else think we need a q&a sections like some of the other phones?
Unfortunately for those of us that use Google Apps they left us in the dust on Google Voice.

Yes, Google Voice is pretty good. Its about as close to iphone visual voicemail as you're gonna get on the Captivate.
Plus I kind of like the transcribed voicemail emails.
How do I use that instead of att
voicemail?
Sorry for a noob q??

Log into your google account on your computer. Find google voice on google's site. There is an option to use google voice for just voice mail. There will also be instructions for setting up your phone to forward voice mails to your google voice account. When you are all done wth that, download google voice from the market and go through its options.
I did all that and google voice works seamlessly for my voice mail.
Just open another google accountunder the same email. Problem solved

Damn. I didn't know you could do that. I started another account under a different name because the market wouldn't work with my apps name.

Problem NOT solved because it's still a different account with a new contact list.
Your google voice account does not have to be the same as your primary account. I have a google apps account that I use as my primary account for contacts, email and calendars. I have a second account that I use for the market and google voice. It works fine.

But none of your Voice stuff syncs with the main account.
Posting here for anyone who camps Roe's threads (like me) lol
(pre cursor- uninstall google voice first, I didn't have it installed but some people did)
Steps I took
on my evo fully installed voice (switched roms recently didn't have it installed)
used Titanium to back up the app
Copied the 3 files to my titanium folder on the g tab
Restored the app
Lauched google voice. Got to where it said configure inbox then went back back back back to exit
inbox popped right up.
YMMV
Thanks for the confirmation!!! Looks like I finally have a serious reason to root my N1, I feel so behind the times.
Are you saying that should I do this, I'd be able to text from my GTab?
If so, please elaborate. I've never used Google Voice, but will if I can text from my tab. That'd be crazy awesome.
(Got a HTC Hero CDMA, rooted, stock ROM. GTab is running TnT 2.2, if any of that matters.)
Google Voice update
After yesterdays (12/8/10) update to GV. The entire app almost works now on the G-Tab. You can even "skip" the voicemail setup and get it working about 90%...just no VOIP calling yet
Ok. I'll download that from the market. Do I sign up online with my existing cell number?
How did you skip the VM setup... I couldn't skip this after the update...
thx
***nevermind --- I re-read the 1st post... :]
Works just as described. Texting works like a charm. Thanks.
No real work is required to get this up and running. Just install Google Voice via the marketplace and run it. I already had a Google Voice account, and when prompted I just told the setup program that the G-Tablet was my home phone or something. No problem texting or listening to voice mail.
Does anybody have voice calling on the G-Tab through SIP?

Awesome, thanks for the tip. I got it working too!
damn, i love this thing.
thnk there'll be post christmas sales or should i grab another now.
and thanks OP!
Some reason I can receive txt, but can't send from the tablet. Any suggestions?
i search "google voice" in market, but couldn't find application. anybody experience the same?
Moved to general
I am having a very strange issue.
I just loaded the leaked 2.2 Stock from Cellular South on my showcase.
Google voice search will not search my contacts.
when i say "send text message to bob testing 123" it does not work
except for on 1 contact!
I have searched around the web, I have found hundreds of post about the "contacts not being sync to google"
I know this is not the case, because i used google to sync them back to my phone.
I have tried:
uninstall/re-isntall
checked language settings settings
checked my sync settings in the accounts screen to make sure contacts are syncing.
You aren't alone. I have two Mesmerizes on USCC EB16 release that have the exact same problem. For now you just have to settle for that "Nuance" voice commands app that comes with the phone, I've not found any other fix.
Google voice commands have never worked on my Mes. No idea why and I've tried everything I could find to try. I'm pretty sure there's already a thread talking about this though.
Can you test something for me
I have found that if you delete the last name of your contact (do it in gmail contacts) and try and "send text to" but first name only. it works.
Can you test this theory for me?

So if I know 4 people named Joe I'm screwed? doesn't seem like a very usable fix to me.

Try Vlingo in the Market... works quite well as a substitute.
I searched and I don't think this has been covered here yet

I used to use syncsms and while it was good it sometimes would just not work, and it utilized dropbox which I wasn't a fan of. This is awesome and uses google chat or email. All I did was create a new gmail just for this purpose and keep google talk logged into it on my tablet. Just wanted to share the wealth and all props goes to Koush who also developed RomManager, man that guy is awesome.
i love this app with the Chrome extension, but found that it was cluttering up my gchat contact list with people's phone numbers as contacts. To fix I set the app to only send emails and filter them in Gmail. I like the idea of setting up a separate email address to handle that issue.
I take it you have to side load on the TF? Market shows incompatible for TF but good for my N1
You install the app on your phone, then i use google talk to receive the messages on the transformer. The app just forwards the messages

Ah OK, got it thanks.
I use textab for this feature. Works very well.
I dont like using Bluetooth, and this way they don't need to be near eachother to work in case I forget my phone
TextTab does work well when I was using the beta, only thing I wish it did was enable upon boot. I always forget to enable it after phone or tablet boot up.
I use SynSMS except like mentioned it's not always reliable.
I like this DeskSMS so far. I can get rid of Mighty Text and SyncSMS and replace with one app.
Also with this as with SyncSMS, I can leave my phone home and on while out of the country and still get my SMS.
I use the google voice app on my transformer. It is the same as on my ATRIX. I can text and read and listen to voicemails.

I'm not quite sure how to use desksms....I downloaded it to my phone...then I put in my google account....had check boxed the gmail and google chat boxes....but nothing happens when I send an sms...I did the "test sms" from the app and it came to my phone....but that was it...nothing on the tablet...
what SMS client to I install to my tablet?
So the app can send sms, eh - that somehow worries me.
I just use google talk on my tablet to get the messages and you can respond through gtalk also

Nothing is install on the tablet, it forward your sms to Google Talk.
It work for me at first but now it does not forward amy sms to my google talk.
It does sync with my Chrome extension
mine still works, I also have the google talk desktop program and get it through there too
So if i use google voice there's no reason to use this right?
nope..not really
edit: as long as you sideload google voice onto the tablet

Yeah I have a seperate email address, but the thing is i have to log out of my main account to use desksms which seems annoying as everything google is the phone's email and i have nothing but email setup. how did you setup your filters?
