Hey all, I just wanted to run an Jessie by you all to see if anyone has any ideas how to fix this. I'm using grooveip for wifi calls in conjunction wig Google voice. I can call out fine but sometimes when people call me the call gets instantly cut off and I hear a half second of ringer before it goes instantly to voicemail. Also, it signs itself out sometimes when the screen if off. I want it to stay connected as often as possible and never disconnect. As well as stopping it from auto cutting off someone calling in. If anyone has any ideas I'd sure appreciate it! Thanks.

at least you got it working to some extent. when i used it in conjunction with google voice it was still using my verizon minutes for some bizarre reason even though i specified wifi. i gave up and just stuck with skype (even though it's not free and the quality sucks to).
additionally, i logon to your google voice/voicemail account from your browser on your pc and verify that there isn't some voicemail setting that's jacked.

i use grooveip with very good/respectable results and no problems like you're. i would recommend visiting the developer's website and/or emailing the developer. the developer is very responsive to qutestions.
A while back, we got an Obi 201 device and got rid of our ridiculous $65/month basic landline (we live in the sticks). I signed up for a Google Voice number and got everything working. The Obi works great with the same phones we used for our landline, just wireless Panasonic things.
I also set up the Samsung Galaxy II thinking it would be great to have that phone ring with the same number.
We're supposed to be able to use the Obi app for Android to call home when we're away, or to allow the kids to call us. While the kids can call us no problem, we can almost never get the Obi app working where we can call from the cell to home. It's really inconvenient at times.
So I decided to just go back to using the regular Tmobile number on the cell phone.
First, I changed the google voice app so that it wasn't responsible for making outgoing calls. This didn't work. I still heard the little google voice chime whenever I made a call.
Next, I uninstalled the google voice app entirely. Still no dice, weirdly it still chimes the google voice noise when I make an outgoing call. And trying to call home using the google voice number just takes me to my voice messaging system. I can't ring the Panasonic phones.
I go into Google Voice on my desktop and uncheck the cell phone number so it won't forward the calls. I restart my phone and try to call the google voice number, which should now ONLY be forwarding to the Obi machine - but I'm *still* getting the google voice chime and it takes me to voice mail rather than the home phones.
The only other thing I can think of is that in the Obitalk website the cellphone is entered, but it doesn't give me any way to delete it, and the status is 'red' suggesting it's not working.
What in the world do I need to do to this dang phone to get it to simply use the Tmobile number? It's rooted.
I searched everywhere and couldn't find anyone with this same problem. I hope I'm being super dense and missing something obvious, because this is a bit nuts.
Thanks!
You may need to reinstall the Google Voice app and go through the settings. Disabling mobile data should successfully force the phone to use old-fashioned cellular for calls. If so, then something's telling your phone to make VOIP calls over mobile data.
Also, check the settings within the phone app.

I have done all of that. Uninstalling the app completely - to the point where I can no longer find any reference to it in the phone settings, STILL calls out with that blasted google chime.
I reinstalled the app, and set it to never make calls with google voice, and it still calls out with the google chime, resulting in a total inability to call home - it goes straight to voice mail, thinking I'm calling myself.
I tried to delete my mobile number from google voice's website, but it says the account *has* to forward somewhere, even though my husband's google number does not forward anywhere.
If I un-check the mobile number to stop forwarding calls in the google voice website, calls stop coming to my OBI device, resulting in no home calls ringing, and the cell STILL calls out with that number.
I'm ready to throw this phone in the street and run over it a few times with the car. AUGH.
Should I just do a factory reset? I don't have any data that needs saving. I just want this stupid phone to be able to call my house when I'm out.
If that's the case, then go ahead and do that.

I did, but it didn't help. I begged for help on the Obitalk forums and finally found the setting I needed to change. For anyone else having this issue:
1. Add your t-mobile (or cell number) to Google Voice as a contact. Then, edit the google voice settings in the contact and make sure only 'ring google voice' is checked.
2. Then, go to the phones tab in the settings, and at the bottom click the 'edit' button. It's gray and hard to see. From there, click "advanced settings" and under voicemail check "no."
This will allow the cell phone to ring the Obi / google voice home number. Hooray.
Whenever I get a Skype call, I can't get my phone out of my pocket without hitting one of the answer buttons. This is probably a Skype specific problem, but I'm wondering if anyone knows a trick to get it to use an unlock device like the incoming voice call screen.
Suggestions would be appreciated!
Hey guys, just had an issue with the phone calling system. I realized that whenever I try to dial an number of a place/business that I find on the Chrome Browser, and when I try to dial it, the call immediately ends as soon as I try to place the call. I'm on Sprint by the way. The only way the call will work is if I punch it in manually without any of the area codes involved either. I find it odd.
Anyone have a clue what the issue is?
Most of the numbers you find online will be GSM formatted in that they may trigger a +1xxx-xxx-xxxx. IN that case sometimes it might fail on CDMA carriers which don't use +1. Before hitting dial just delete the +1 and then call. If the +1 doesn't show up and it displays the number in the normal format then I have no idea
Hi there,
I just upgraded my phone to avatar-3.3_stable-1520-20131203-i9103,
While making a call to my friend, the screen was black without any sign (such as contact info, hang up, etc.) and dialing voice. I just push the home button and ignore it. But a few minutes later, my friend lined me that she answered my call but nobody talked.
I didn't even know I did make the call!!!
Does anyone have this similar problems?
I think maybe I should reinstall my previous version...
