Google Voice Sync

http://googlevoiceblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/faster-google-voice-experience-on.html
Not sure if this was already posted, but no more relying on SMS for syncing!!!

Until I can see confirmation that this is effective and is not going to drain my battery, I'm staying put with the workaround which works great and works in seconds.

I have not used Google Voice a ton, but the new version seems to be tons slower at notifications. Today they took about about an hour to come.

Hell yeah! :d:d:d

anyone notice that when you call out use GV, it still displays your regular cell phone number rather than your GV number to the person you call. is there a way to fix this?

if you got the GV app and you're using it "for all calls" it should display your gv number...
PS the delay is about AT MOST 1-2 minutes on my hero... (side by side with internet inbox i mean) still better than AT LEAST 5minutes

if you're on a 2.1 rom GV doesn't work properly for making calls but i found this app in the market called gvoice callback that does the trick

works for me on DC v1

Can anyone confirm the new versions notifications does work correctly????

Does anyone know how to set Hero 2.1 to have to auto forward to GV so I can use that for my voicemail instead of Sprint? In fact does anyone know where the call forwarding is?

For Call Forward - No Answer, dial *73(your GV number)

Running on a 1.5 ROM (TTG), the notifications in the new version do in fact work properly, and instantly. Woohoo, finally! In fact, while I was cleaning up old 'unread' messages via my PC, my phone was going 'ding' every time I deleted one and the 'new message' notification count changed.

When you are activating the feature on Google, as per instructions here at https://www.google.com/voice/sprint I believe they actually show you the code, *28XXXXXXXXXX, to punch in. Looking around now, I had to search a bit to find it, as I couldn't remember from doing it myself. Anyways, that is it, *28[Your GV Number], and then *38 if you ever want to turn it off.

I was using the SMS workaround. Just disabled SMS to my phone and left a test message.
I received notification on my phone within a minute.
Now, does it drain the battery? I wouldn't think it would as it is push and not a pull.
Oh, and the LED works.

*28 and *38 don't work for me, but the following do:
Call Forwarding - Unconditional = *72(number), *720 to turn off
Call Forwarding - No Answer = *73(number), *730 to turn off
Call Forwarding - Busy = *74(number), *740 to turn off

Fair enough. All the same, *28 is the official code for covering both conditions that normally required *73 and *74. It worked fine for me, and is well documented. Not sure why it wouldn't work for others, but I am no telco expert.
Also, for anyone who was wondering, yes they still charge for *72 (unconditional).

*28 also works for call forward - busy? For those using *28, how does this work/get along with call waiting?

First question: Yes, it does. I dug around a bit for come clarification and found this.
See comment from that article:
One is for CFB, the other for CFNA. *28 does both CFB and CFNA in one shot.

Second question: Not sure how *28 has affected call waiting specifically, but I can tell you that I hate trying to answer a second call in general since I started using GV. It's been a while since I bothered to try, in fact. I remember a few times pressing 'Answer' only to then have a GV voice prompt ask if I wanted to answer the second call or 'add it' to the existing call, and by the time it asks, the 2nd caller is gone and I am lucky to get back to the first. I got frustrated and stopped answering second incoming calls as there is rarely anyone I want to talk to that badly (including clients).
I doubt that my call waiting rant is helpful, but I had to get it off my chest. Whew!

Thanks for the info. I use call waiting a good bit. I often put my kids on hold when a business call comes in, so I'll stick with *73, but just for grins I'm gonna call Sprint and complain that my *28 isn't working.

Does anyone know if it is possible to have two different voicemail messages based on the number the other person dials? I know I can set up different messages for different groups, but I want one message for people who dial my cell # and one message for people who dial my GV#.

[Q] Called From My Own Number After Voicemail?

Two or three times now its happened where if someone calls my phone and I miss the call, after they leave a voicemail I get notified of the voicemail, but then my phone starts ringing again instantly and the caller ID shows my own number. If I try to answer that "call" I get silence, then some random number dialing, then it disconnects. Any ideas?
The first time it happened I thought whoever had called just called right back but I missed that call as well. When I looked at my call log, it shows my own number as a missed call. It just happened now as I was sitting at my desk, I didnt answer because I was on my office phone, and just as I got the notification, I got another call from my own number. Seems odd to me...
Anyone else getting this ever?

EDIT: ARHD 3.6.7 and included kernel. Its happened on other versions of ARHD also however.

ive never had that issue due to my rom or hardware but i kno theres apps out there were someone can call you and itll show any # they want, including your own. If your rooted try a full wipe and fresh install otherwise someone can be messin with u

I could only think this is your phone's way of telling you to check your voicemail. usually, on t-mobile anyway, if you dial your own cell phone number it redirects you to your voicemail. It could be an error with your firmware or network though. Have you made any changes to your phone recently (i.e. ROM change/update)? Think of any possible conditions that may have changed with your phone since this started. Have you contacted your provider? Check your online call history through your carrier site and see if the same number appears at the time of call. If it does, the issue could be someone spoofing you. You can do this with spoofcard/spoofapp. It's hard to actually connect with a phone with the same number you're spoofing though, since it redirects to voicemail. As a precaution, i'd add a pin to my voicemail if I were you- in the event that this is the case. I found this out by spoofing one of my buddies once. In an attempt to boggle his mind, I tried using his number as the number of origin and found out that it directed to his voicemail, giving me access to that information.

It happens if I call my own phone from my house and leave a voicemail. I dont think its anyone spoofing my number. As you said, its almost like the phone gets a notification from a remote computer and a call from it at the same time.
I has done it at least once with every version of ARHD I have ran, but not all the time.
~T.J.

Call up your voicemail and go through the main menu to make sure voicemail paging notifications are turned off.

Ha! I bet that was it! Thanks go to you sir.
It was turned on for urgent messages (which explains why not all did it). When I turned it off and left myself a voice mail test it didn't do it. Weird, I wonder how it got turned on...

Not receiving some calls

EDIT: I previously said I had Eclipse installed. I've been rooting phones left and right. The last phone I rooted I installed Eclipse on......sorry for the mix up.
I've had people say they keep getting my voice mail after multiple rings. Then I would call my phone to test it out. I would have full bars 3g/4g and I wouldget voice mail after a few rings. So I restarted my phone and all seem to work fine. Just happened again and I tested it a few times, not being able to ring my phone. So I just turned off WiFi and then I was able to receive calls. Not sure if WiFi really had anything to do with it. I turned Wifi back on and calls still rang in.
Anyone heard of this issue?
I have CWM with Stock bloatfree ROM.
Thanks.

I've had no issues on stock or CyanogenMod 10. I would check in your roms thread.

I would try to gather more information like if toggling wifi is the only way to get it back or if its just reception...I think the app phone info would be helpful here to give you information on when it is and isn't working...Also I would check in with the Eclipse ROM forum and see if anyone else has had these issues.

I actually have a Stock Bloat-Free Rom installed on my GS3. I Just installed Eclipse on my brothers phone and just went brain dead for a minute.

Has anyone been able to get GrooveIP to work?

I have the paid version of GrooveIP.
I have everything set up properly with Google Voice. However, whenever I try to dial out it immediately disconnects and say "I could not complete your call at this time, please try again..."
Annoying.
Any ideas? Complete failure in the staff at this point.

Working for me. Installed yesterday. All default options.
Right now I can only make local calls. Long distance calls just keep ringing - no one answers.

Can't receive calls on honor 6 x

Hey does anybody else have problems receiving calls from honor 6x? I can call and and text but can't receive calls. The caller hears the phone ring and then go to Voice mail but my phone doesn't even ring.

Are you using Jio, VoLTE or something like that to make calls?

Yes I already tried restarting as well as blocking all call forwarding and still no luck I'm wondering if it might be a problem with the update I presently have EMUI 5. 0.1

I'm having the same problem - just this past week. I'm missing very important phone calls as well and I can't figure out why. My setting show that the ringtone volume is all the way up. It's not on silent. Have you gotten yours fixed?

I'm having the exact same problem. It's random so you wouldn't know that you're missing a call until much later when you restart the phone. I just missed an interview call yesterday and had to email the interviewer to try again after restarting my phone ... this is disastrous.

I'm also having the same problem how do I get it fixed

Not sure if I have the same problem. I can't receive calls and text after the phone idle for approx 2hrs. Launching dialer doesn't help. I factory reset it twice and no help. I discover placing a call will make it, or reboot. Still looking into it. Testing my SIM on another phone in the mean time.

I've exactly the same problem that you discribe, but for me it's after 5 minutes idle... I've tested my SIM in another phone (iphone 5c) and the problem persist so it's mayby a problem with the Mobile network operator or the SIM card.

Also experiencing the same issue as well. Thought it was because I was connected to wi-fi at home and calls go straight to voicemail from what callers are telling me.

same here - no incomming calls seemingly at random
Looks like I'm a bit late to the party but I'm still trying to figure this out too. It seems to happen at my house, not sure if it happens other places or not. I also have noticed when i try to make an outgoing call my 4g disappears. Perhaps its not making or receiving calls for whatever reason through the 4g tower / band? I'm just now testing with 4g off but remaining on my home wifi. Annoying for sure. I've been happy with the 6x and hope its not a device specific problem.

I just found this thread after being fed up with this phone. My guess with why this happen is because the phone sleeps. I noticed that whenever Im not using the phone, like when I sleep or when Im working on the computer, it's when I don't receive calls or get delayed messages. It's not just SMS as well, it's other messaging apps too.. My current fix right now, is to send myself a text message, right after I wake up or after I havent touched the phone in a while, and then the messages starts to roll in. If any one of you guys find a better solution, please do let me know, cause this is very frustrating.

I'm having the same problem as so many others with my Honor 6 randomly not ringing. I've tried restarting, testing SIM card, replacing SIM card, "waking it up" periodically. Nothing works. I have both personal and a Google Voice business lines coming through my phone. I'll hear it ring on my computer, but not my phone for about 50% of the incoming business calls. Personal calls I just miss.
Has anyone had any luck with a solution, other than dumping it and buying a new phone? I keep thinking it must be some setting that's set wrong.
