I've been using this application to real good success on a older version of darth's 2.0 rom, updated to flipz installed it and doesn't seem to work anymore.
Any ideas on how we can fix this or how i can make Google voice call backs originate from my phone so I don't have to run to a pc to make a call on wifi?
For some reason perhaps its just the browser but I can't get my phone to call it's self through the google voice web app, and the official android don't support callbacks to sip phones and the only other-wisely good application for this GV is no long supported and is also broken.

But it's just really a pain in the ass to have to start every phone call from my computer, other than going back to Darth's rom any suggestions this seems like something that would be useful
Hi, my suggestion is if you have google voice, then set up the sipgate/sipsorcery iggy and use SIPdroid or Fring to make your phone calls. Here's a link to the guide

I'm confused. Why wouldn't you just use the official Google Voice app? It already automatically routes all your outgoing calls through google voice. Are you trying to route your call through data so you arent using your minutes or something?

Thanks, I was trying earlier but couldn't get sipgate to reg with sipsorcery
Turns out i was using the wrong credentials from sipgate. And doing anything to long on a public computer is a pain in the rear anyways, I only use linux at home and didn't feel like going through certain channels that shall not be named to get a copy of xp just so i can use silverlight
My telco charges a flat fee every single time i access the voice mail. However I do not get charged for incoming calls.
Hence I am wondering is there a voice mail app that does the following. (Keep in mind that i have free incoming calls and also caller-id)
1) The app picks up the phone call after a pre-defined limit of time.
2) The app plays a recorded message e.g "I'm not here right now. Please leave a message)
3) After the pre-recorded message finishes, the app starts recording.
4) After the other person hangs up, the app stops recording and saves the file.
5) Later on, I can play back the recorded message directly on my phone w/o having to pay the flat fee for using my telco's voice mail service.
Is there such an app?
EDIT: So in a way the app will act more like an answering machine
Why not just Google voice
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
because it still requires data right? and also its currently available only in the US and im in australia.
+1 for this kinda app! This kinda app would be useful.
+1
had it on nokia and it worked great.
Well, you can do that using Tasker.
But, Android security won't allow you to do no. 2
I tried that, to output audio to the "Call Stream", no joy.
Recording "Call Stream" is also restricted by the Android security.

Yes. Android default might not allow it, but let's face it. Most of us on XDA run rooted android phones so wouldn't that allow us to do that?

There is an app that has the aforementioned functionality I think its called AirVoice (it requires root access). I tested it on my HTC Hero and it is able to pick up my phone automatically after the pre-defined time but then my phone reboots.
I have founf many apps that actually play their own voice messages how about allowing us to play our own. I`ve heard Motorola Milestone phones have more of a lockdown when it comes to recording calls

Do you mean that there is an app that automatically answer the phone call after X time, and plays a voice message? can you give me its name?
Threre is a program named call recorder free (by melon mobile) that can record a call from both sides. I don't see why nobody have ever implemented a voice mail program.
fact number 1 : there is a program that can record phone call from both sides.
fact number 2 : there are programs that can answer the phone automatically (with delay).
why isn't there a program that can act as a voice mail?
like it was said, Airvoice do it exectlly, but it is suitable for certain devices
is youmail not one of them? or does it use data also?

I was just going to mention Youmail. I used it for a while before deciding to go back to my carrier's voicemail. Once you set up your account on the site, you can use a preset greeting, or create your own. You can opt to recieve notification by email or text, and review voicemail from a desktop, or your phone by either calling in, or using the app. If you prefer visual voicemail, give it a try.

I was doing the same quest for a long time.. As mentioned before, Google Voice is not an option (I live in the Netherlands, no support), Youmail idem dito (at least in the Netherlands).
Finally, I have found the little-heard-about app InstaVoice, which suits me great; good, reliable visual voicemail coverage in the Netherlands (with a free fix number forward service), voicemail messages, nicely sorted through app/ mail. Maybe off-topic for what You are looking for, but maybe worth to have a look at.. Their country coverage keeps going constantly.
This has been posted before but I thought I would do a quick and easy how to, for those that don't have this working yet.
You can use GoogleVoice and sipdroid to make free calls from your tab as long as you have either a good wifi or 3G connection.
First Download GooglVoice and set it up, if you haven't already.
Second Download SipDroid from the android market (free).
Open sipdroid, there will be an option to set up a new pbxes account linked to your google voice account. (free) Click this button. Set your google voice to forward to your gtalk in google voice settings.
3rd - Make and receive free phone calls on any Galaxy tab with a data connection!
I tried this and had no problems making outbound calls, but could not receive inbound calls. I messed around with sipdroid a bit and saw that I had to go into the account and toggle the "use 3g" and "use edge" buttons. I don't know if it's mine tab only but it worked. Also, I had the skype workaround before and this seems much cleaner.
Does this eat up a lot of data while not in a call, stand-by I guess?
Thanks for posting this by the way, I finally got tired of the skype alternative and basically gave up hope of having voice on my tab.
One more thing, sorry. Is this solution reliable enough to replace a cell phone? Or have you heard of anyone who has ditched their cell and used their tab as the replacement?
Hmm, it won't let me sign up for a pbx account. It keeps saying that i have an invalid character in my username. I am guessing that you can't have a period in your name
Any way around this so i can keep my gv #?
Looks like this method has died now as Google -> Gtalk -> SIP is not supported. Tried for almost 2 hours last night before I found this out.
Doesn't look like you're from the US as GV only works for US users.
I noticed I hadn't gotten any Google Voice/Hangout notifications of voice mails. I reset my Google Voice (deactivated/reactivated) to no avail. However, once I deactivated Advanced Calling (Settings...Wireless and Networks), and reset Google Voice, it's working again. Anyone else experience similar/same?
Yeah, I did a search and saw others with Verizon phones and advanced calling that were having this issue. It looks like if you have advanced calling, you can't use google voice.
Don't know if there is any solution yet.
On edit, this link provides a possible fix:

I've had no problems with Google Voice and Hangouts, both with VoLTE enabled and disabled, and on my S6 and G3. I don't use VoIP for calls via Hangouts though, it rings my actual cell number that I have set to forward to with Google Voice.
Working extremely perfect. No issues.

Well, I must be doing something extremely wrong. I tried again, same result. I have to turn off HD calls, and then reset Google Voice. If anyone has more suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
I'm having no problems with Google voice but having said that I'm using mine on Cricket. Are you using Hangouts for your GV messages? I had nothing but problems getting notifications for GV on it so I switched back to the old GV app.

Yeah, I'm using Hangouts now without issue. I did install Google Voice, because I think that's still required for everything to wire up right. I just turned off the HD calling all together. Not worth my while, at least for now.
So, I tried some of the fixes suggested on this forum and they haven't taken yet. Disabling HD Voice works but causes other problems I'll describe below. With HD Voice active, I tried uninstalling GVoice app and removing my number altogether, then adding it all back again as if for the first time. That did not work. I tried twice. All voicemail still gets routed into my Verizon voicemail.
Spent a good hour on the phone with Verizon customer support and elevated to L2 technician. TLDR: There appears to be a conflict based on how Verizon has chosen to employ the HD Voice function. Right now, I'm forced to either have Google Voice active on my mobile phone OR retain the ability to use data and voice at the same time, but I can't have both.
I just activated my Verizon 64GB Samsung Galaxy S6 two days ago. Today, I noticed I had a Verizon voicemail message for the first time in years. I have been using Google Voice(mail) for as long as I can remember. Concerned why voicemail was skipping my GVoice, I soon discovered that others had noted that turning off the HD Voice option fixed the problem. Sure enough, it did. I thought I was good to go.
Until, the next time I made a call, I noted that my 4G immediately turned into a greyed out 1x and any attempt to use other functions of my phone while on the call were met with a warning that said I can't make calls and use data services at the same time. That was news to me, since that has never been an issue before. Surely my GS6 is not less capable than the GS3 it just replaced in this area.
This took me to Verizon customer support, which to its credit, hung in with me the entire way in troubleshooting this. We confirmed the relationship between GVoice and their Advanced Calling service (HD Voice). And we confirmed that by turning the service back on, my ability to use data while on a call would be restored. We could not determine anything in Verizon's playbook that would allow the two to co-exist. The L2 engineer confirmed that Verizon designed its build so that the only way Data and Voice could flow simultaneously is with HD Voice activated and selected. Verizon customer service was left to advise me to choose between GVoice or dual Voice/Data based on which was more important, and maybe Google will update Google Voice in the future to fix the problem. I found that last part somewhat funny, since I don't think this is Google's problem to fix since this appears to be a Verizon specific problem and I have never had a phone that hasn't worked perfectly with GVoice. Oh, and it's not like Google is pushing out patches to Voice with any intentionality either.
I joined the forums specifically to post this in the hope it helps someone else and sparks other ideas how to beat this. This appears to be a recently discovered phenomenon. Also, since the GS6 is still relatively new, maybe this will help to raise awareness and provoke a patch. Who knows.
Anyone encounter other ideas for getting Voice to regain prime position again?

Finally got this to work by ensuring to clear app data before uninstalling an making sure not to prematurely hang up on Google voice as it reinstated the call forwarding on my new mobile phone. With this fixed e now have a work-around for using Google voice while still maintaining advanced calling features.

I can confirm this process works. I turned on HD calling. In Application Management, I cleared cache and data on the Google Voice app, then uninstalled it. I then went to my computer and deactivated Google Voice mail. I then reinstalled Google Voice on my phone, and stepped through the configuration (Verizon doesn't support it directly, so you'll see that boogie-woogie - just take the defaults and move through it). I then went back to the PC and enabled Google Voice, and let the lady finish and hang up on me. Subsequent tests confirmed that I have Google Voice mail now, while HD calling is active.

I followed your steps exactly and from what I can tell everything is working properly on mine as well. THANK YOU!!
Fixed
I only have hangouts installed, I don't use the Google Voice app anymore. After I enabled advanced calling, apparently my VM forwarding also stopped.
All I had to do to fix it was re-enable the call fowarding options, and I'm back in business.
*71[Your Google Voice number]
*90[Your Google Voice number]
*92[Your Google Voice number]
The key to the whole thing is to let the call forwarding calls fully finish and hang up on you. If you hang up, they won't complete.
Didn't have to do anything on my S6 besides going through the prompts again and letting them finish. The whole uninstall/reinstall thing may be overkill.

Unfortunately I still can't get it working on my s6. It works if a person calls my "google voice" number. However, if they call my "verizon" phone number it just will not go to voicemail...it rings and rings. Call forwarding is on, i've done all the steps. Any one else having this problem?
Yeah same here at least visual voice mail is free now

I wonder why it worked so easily for you.
I've tried letting it hang up on me for all 3 numbers (*71, *90, *92), but it seems to refuse to work. I'll have to try the uninstall/reinstall stuff later and see if that triggers it for me.
Not working....
For those of us still having problems....I created a post on verizon's S6 community support site as well....

Hopefully Verizon will figure this out quickly.
Now I can't get google voice to work even with advanced calling disabled. I have it entirely set to off in settings, called all 3 numbers to setup the forward (and let them hangup on me), yet when I call my number, I get a Verizon message about needing to enter the phone number of the mailbox you're trying to leave a voicemail for...
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give as much information as I could.
This has been driving me crazy. I'm on Net10 using a Galaxy S5 though I don't think this is device specific. I use google voice for a work number which I access through Hangouts to make phone calls and the Google Voice app for sms and voicemail. My issue is that I have an ongoing voicemail notification that I cannot seem to get rid of.
After much searching this is what I've learned:
My belief is that I have a voicemail on my Net10 account. However I have been unable to access this voicemail box from either my phone or another phone.. Both are directed to google voice even after changing my voicemail number to my cell phone number (Is there another number to access Net10 Voicemails?).
It seems to be something to do with Google Voice being configured as many threads I've found concerning this involve that as a symptom, however no solutions were found that helped me.
There are two solutions that have worked, but with issues:
1- Force close "Phone"
This does clear the notification, but not only is it very annoying to do, it also seems to only work for a half hour or so (I'm guessing until the app is restarted?)
2- "Clear Voicemail Notification" App found on google play (sorry I don't have enough posts to post links yet).
This app works by clearing data for the com.android.phone or com.android.server.telecom process which makes the notification.
This also works, but again only for about a half hour or so.
I tried to make a Tasker profile that would clear the notification by force closing "phone", but ran into an issue when trying to select the app. I clicked the "All" at the bottom Tasker when viewing my apps, and tried every app named "phone" there were about 10 of them, but none of them cleared the notification. I did check "Use Root".
If anybody has any suggestions please let me know. I have a locked bootloader so no custom recovery, but I am rooted. I can recover through Odin, however it is a giant pain since I can only restore to stock each time and re-root. I am also familiar with ADB and Shell commands.
I do not want my voicemail notification to ever show up, as the Google Voice app has it's own notification for this.
On thing I was thinking was trying to modify the Phone.apk app and remove the voicemail notification all together, but I'm not very good with java, and also the computer I currently have access too is a Dell that still has a floppy disk drive.... so development is quite slow. If anyone had any pointers on how to modify the app I would be willing to commit the time to trying it though (it's my parents computer).
Also calling Net10 pretty much not an option. If any of you use Net10 you know how dreadful their customer service is. I would only do this as a very last resort.
