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#.
How do I turn it off for notifications. Like when someone calls it tells me the number or name of person. It makes it hard to take a personal call at work if everyone knows who called me.

Hmm let me see. Most of the parameters are controlled through settings...
Then in the settings you can find speech recognition (pretty straigh forward so far?)
Then just chose the option that suits you.
Cmon dude do a bit more digging in your phone. This is play school stuff.
Dude I been using tech for 30 years if it's so easy find it

Try the settings panel that controls speech... called... "speech".
Yes indeed it would seem that is where it would be but not that see
Sent from my arrive using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I think it's hidden in the "Read incoming text messages" option at the bottom of the speech settings screen.
That is what enables voice responses to text messages.. it might do it for phone calls too.. no one has called me since I enabled it, though.
See I knew it was simple bit my I don't know why the **** I had not scrolled down for that one
I get the voice on text but not phone calls. Weird.
Found what you are talking about. Look under Ease of Access. That is where you can turn on the feature to hear who is calling you. Leave off the TTY?TDD mode and turn on Speech for phone accessbility. Or turn off if you don't want to hear who is calling.
This is seperate from the texting part under Speech
Sorry if this has been addressed, I did search but no luck. Im extremely new to the droid world and even newer at getting it to do what I want
I have a rooted droid eris running cyan 7 GB. The phone is not activated.
Is there an app I can install that will allow my wife to send and recieve text msg's to cell phones only using wifi?
Also, wondered if there is a way to spoof the activation. Every time I reboot the phone it wants me to activate it. I had read you could start/stop the activation a few times and it will go away but when I try to activate I have no way to pull up a responsive number pad to enter "1". When the call is in progress and I pull up the number pad it is trying to dial a new call rather than working toward the active call.
Thanks in advance
I do know about texting via email but my kids have text msg only phones and just looking for a way for the wife to be able to text and receive the kids and I from the unactivated phone.
Why no replies, there have been lots of views? Have I put it in the wrong place? Should I post in a different form?
Wow, Im shocked!
All the info on this site and not a single response to my questions? :?
Not sure if Ive posted in the wrong place, asked unanswerable questions or broken some rule but figured Id get something with all the views the post has gotten.
Google talk or Google voice I believe will let u VIA WiFi

Ok so I know I know I shouldn't have done it, but it's too late for that now, so please don't say don't I shouldn't have done this.
Someone took over my cell number with Google Voice and is texting and calling people about items on Craigslist. Then the poor people call me thinking I'm interested in their items. Arggg for both of us!!!
Ok so her's how it started:
I get a text from someone interested in buying my item
I text back and forth with them
They say, "I'll call you to set-up a pick-up time/location, when I call just press 01 and it will connect us"
I get a call and it's google voice, I press 01 and then it asks me to set-up my voicemail
Now I am getting calls from random people about their stuff they want to sell me...Arg!!
Went to google.com/voice and thought let me set-up an account before they get a hold of my number completely, but it was too late. I get the error "Account Creation" "There was an error with your request. Please try again"
I've never used Google Voice before today.
Tried it about a million times on, Android, FF, IE, and Chrome with the same result.
Anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks
How did they "take over" your number?
What carrier are you on?
You have never set up Google voice prior to this happening?
I am curious as I use Google voice entirely now despite Sprints vvm. I like the features and abilities I get with it.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
are you sure that someone isnt just emailing your number to people?
I'm on t-mobile.
They didn't take over my number completely, I'm getting calls and texts from people I know too, but also calls from people who say I called them about their items.
No I never had Google voice before.
Swyped from my P509 on Tmobile.
With Swype and Flash, why would anyone choose the iPhone?
Perhaps they setup google voice account based on your phone number. But since it is your phone number that is linked to this google voice account, you maybe able to gain control of it.
First try to find out the phone number that people are dialing when they call you. I don't meant the people you know, I am talking about the people who call you randomly and tell you that you called them about some craigslist add. This will be the google voice number that is linked to your cell number.
Now if you call this number, the system might recognize you as owner and let you access the account from your cell phone, listen to voicemails and change greetings.
You might need to setup a google voice account for yourself using your home phone number for example and try to reclaim your cell number.
Well it's been about a week with no more calls to my phone from people I don't know about stuff I'm not selling...I hope it resolved itself.

I really want to set up visual voicemail with Google Voice. I can't seem to figure it out though. Can anyone post a step by step guide? Right now, when someone calls me after 4 rings they get a message saying the person you has called is unavailable. There isn't even an option to leave a message. I don't know what I did wrong.
On another note, does anyone have any experience with At&t visual voicemail? Is it worth exploring that option over google voice?
This is one feature that I really would love to have on this otherwise perfect phone.
Your plan has to include visual voicemail if it doesn't then it doesn't matter how hard you try you will not get it setup. call And tell them you want visual voicemail and the tech will push the app to your phone and then it'll set up.

go to voice.google.com

on your phone:
settings ->call -> voicemail -> set as google voice. it will fail, but just say yes anyways. it should work after that. (it does on my phone)
Thank you. I hope that works. This problem was present even before I updated though.

it's a known "problem" but I haven't had any issues with it other then it "failing" (see attached screenshot) to apply (but still works even with this message)
there are some other threads on this forum regarding this. you might have been able to find them if you had looked (harder).
anyways, since i'm here, i may as well post what worked for me
go to settings, call, additional settings, and set EVERY forwarding number (unanswered, busy, etc) to your google voice number. But **make sure Always Forward is disabled**
cheers
Lol... Just re-read the OP..my bad I thought I read that you wanted att vvm. Sorry. I know I looked like a dumbass..lol disregard my post and carry on.

and you followed the instructions at voice.google.com by typing in that long number that starts with *004*.... ?
and are you having someone test call you to see if it does go to your google voice mailbox? again, your phone will show (after doing all the appropriate steps) that "Voicemail Service: My Carrier" but it will truly get forwarded to google voice... at least it does on my setup.
also, if this doesn't work, have you tried AT&T's version of visual voicemail? it's free with LTE data plan I believe.
Send yourself a voicemail it'll come up on the Google Voice client IF you followed the instructions here.
I've found it's less cumbersome on a pc to set it up.

Finally solved the problem by getting a new google voice number. I guess something was wrong with the old one. Thanks for all your help, folks.
Yep, Google Voice is the ONLY voicemail for Android I would consider.
