I have linked my Google Voice to my Sprint line, but now every text message I receive goes to the Google Voice app, as well as the Text app on the Nexus S. Is there some way to DISABLE texts to the Google Voice app? I'm not a fan of the interface.
Everything is going to your Google voice inbox so you have to Unselect notifications in your Google voice app and may sure text messages is select it.

Im having this EXACT problem.
I enabled Google Voice Intigration for my Sprint number. Everything was working normally for a day or two. Txt messages were going to the normal messaging app.
But now txt messages ONLY go to the Google Voice app. Messing with notifications does nothing. My normal messaging app no longer receives the txt's at all.
Is there anyway to fix this? I can live with using the Google Voice app, but id much rather use the normal app.
EDIT: FIXED IT!!! ZOMG!
I didnt have this checked on my Google Voice settings (for some reason it is unchecked by default!)

I don't have that option in my settings. When I sign out of voice on my phone, I miss all calls and don't get texts. Very weird.

You don't get two messages now? When I changed it I get one message from Google voice and one from stock.

Works perfect for me.
Go into the Google Voice app on the phone, and turn off all the notifications.
Then goto settings in voice.google.com and enable the one setting that i have circled in the screenshot above.
This problem frustrated me for HOURS yesterday until i found that one setting.

another thing to look out for: I've noticed several times, usually when reinstalling the Google Voice app, it will disable receiving sms messages to my cell.
If you're not receiving texts for any reason, I'd check your google voice settings (on the web: google.com/voice) then, on the website go to Settings > Phones > Edit > Text Settings (check).
EDIT wait.. did u modify the original post? Or am i crazy..
Maybe this is another thing entirely. I get texts while using google voice but only with google voice.
However, I want my phone to receive MMS/SMS the way it normally (used to) so I can still use handcent.
This whole thing pisses me off to no end. NONE of the settigs are working right. I'm now missing ALL calls and texts. Totally disabled GV on phone and web and still nothing...

So you *want* to recv all texts thru handcent, but you're not? If that's the case, it sounds like the forward sms setting isn't checked (my post above).

I got it working. Don't forget to hit "edit" under your #

I just want to point out that NONE of this worked for me. The ONLY way I was able to make it so that I was getting text notifications and receiving phone calls was to completely disassociate my number with GV and sign out of the GV app on my phone.
No matter what combo of settings I tried, I would miss every single phone call (phone would never ring), not be notified of voicemails (even though email and text were chosen as notifications), and my texts would all go to the GV app but it would never notify me even if I had the settings right on the website and the phone.
I have also tried all of the mentions above, with no success. I actually sent texts to myself from my computer, and tested a ton of combinations of settings.
The main thing I've learned is that it is impossible (so far) to receive a text to the STOCK app, and NOT to Google Voice.
I changed settings on GV from my phone app, as well as on my GV on the computer.

Yes if you ported your number all your texts go through Google voice now.
You PORTED your number. Any calls or texts go through Google voice now and are handled by Google. Your texts and voicemails are saved in the Voice cloud.
If you don't want to use Voice as your messaging app just turn off notifications.
Its really not that complicated.

Whenever I reinstall android (in this case, JB), google voice forwards my text messages with the google voice #'s, not the sender's #.
For example, I get texts from:
+1 972-676-9974 - <Sender's Name> - <Sender's message>
+1 972-676-8612 - <Sender's Name> - <Sender's message>
I play around with google voice settings (website), and a few days later it just starts working. And it will break again once I reinstall android os. (Same thing had happened on stock ICS, stock JB, AOKP ICS, AOKP JB).
Anyone has any idea why this is happening, and how to fix the issue?
For reference, this is my current setup:
Galaxy Nexus GSM on tmobile
AOKP JB 4.1.2
Google Voice forwarding text messages to my phone
Google Voice app set to Receive text messages via the messaging app
GV Integration app to send text messages via the messaging app (works correctly)
Looks like it's working from some people, not from others.
I am considering getting this watch. However, one important question:
My Nexus 4 is running data only (No Voice Plan). I use Skype for phone calls and Sliding Messenger (through Google Voice) for Text Messages. Will I be able to see Incoming Calls from Skype? Will I be able to see and respond to text messages through Sliding Messenger (Google Voice)?
TIA!
i think you can see who is calling you from skype by using watchit! app that push notifications from your phone to skype. but you won't have answer/decline funcionality.
you will be able to see your text messages but you can't respond to them - i think to do that you need 3rd party app that gives you keyboard funcionality.
Just seeing who is calling and an indication of missed calls would be enough.What is the link for the watchit! App?
Likewise, just seeing the text messages would be enough. I can reply from my phone. So, there is a way to see the text messages even though they would NOT be coming into the Messaging App on the phone, but into Google Voice?

I'm using gosms as the default SMS instead of hangouts. Just received a voice mail through Google voice and now every text that comes in goes to Google voice instead of gosms.
I've selected gosms as the default messaging app in settings and in the Google voice settings I selected use default messaging app instead of GV. I've also went to the settings on my computer and unchecked the boxes for phone calls and texts to be forwarded through GV.
I've had GV and gosms set up since I got the phone last Friday and this is the first time it's happening. Any help will be appreciated. All I want to do is use GV for voice mail. But I can't get it to do just that like I did on my Gnex.
Edit: I unchecked receive text on this phone by accident on the GV settings on the computer. It's working again.

I am using Google Voice on a Stock VZW HTC One M8 with Android 4.4.4 and I was wondering if there is a way to integrate GV with the Sense Messenger app. I have the GV settings box ticked to show notifications in the call log, and I have the Call settings for voicemail switched to GV. But the Messenger app seems to be tied to VVM. GV seems to be working fine otherwise, so I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a way, either rooted or not, to better integrate GV, I'd be psyched.
As an aside, I have hangouts and the hangouts dialer installed, yet I don't have any setting for Google Voice in Hangouts either. I'm on v2.5 so it should be there. Is there a way to get it or is there a reason it's not supported on this phone?
Thanks in advance!
