Ok so I have 2 phones both are Verizons Galaxy s3. They both have chomp and google voice. Lets call one phone "Phone A" and the other one "Phone B". So if i text from "Phone A" to "Phone B" with either google voice or chomp as long as I click on the correct number it will show up on "Phone B" correctly. All is well. Now from "Phone B" if I send a text to "Phone A" using google voice it will show up correctly. However if I use chomp even though I selected the GV number the message will go through but at a completly different number will show up on "Phone A". The message still goes though but why at a completely different number?
Je suis désolé. Je ne peux pas vous aider.

Um..if you use chomp then it uses the number associated with the phone. You have to send text from within Google voice to use that number.

Say I go to my contacts list I can pick what number to text from there it give me two options. Use gv or chomp. Chomp can send using Google voice number I have been doing it for months. It just with one contact that I am having this problem
Sent from Verizon's soon to be unlocked Galaxy S3.
so, you're sending from phone B to phone A, using Phone A's google voice number? I mean the number that google voice assigns? If I text someone using their regular number, it looks like it's from my phone number, but if I text them using their google assigned number, it comes from my google voice number no matter what app I use to send it.
Correct. I click on the Google voice number and it sends the message to Phone A, however it sends it with a completely different number then the one Google actually assigned to the phone. Now if i use the number from the received text (the different number) it will send it to Phone B. It will also send if I click on the Google voice number that is saved in my phone. The texts get received at Phone B as my Google voice number even if I use the number that I received from the text(again the wrong number). But receiving texts from Phone B results in two different Google voice numbers. And only one number is assigned to the phone.

I looked around for a solution to this and the solutions posted didn't work with my phone. This being said, the issue with my phone is that I changed the number and when I tried using the code they gave me on the dialer keypad, it didn't work. I'd imagine that this is due to the mod I'm using. So, now I can call out and be called on that number as well as receive voicemail on that number, but I can't change the phone number in the "About Phone" section so that my voicemail app notifies me of new voicemails and so I can hold "1" on the dialer to dial my number to reach voicemail. Keep in mind that I'm using RegAW_Mod. Even if you aren't familiar with that ROM, I'd still like to hear about any ideas you may have.
Thanks again in advance! If you need any other info, please let me know.
I switched to Google Voice mail instead since its free and works better. The Sprint app became payware. ($1.99 extra a month) Here's how to change over to Google Voice:
1.) Open a Google account. (If you don't already have one)
2.) Go to https://www.google.com/voice and add your phone number. (It should be there already if you integrated your Google account with your phone.)
3.) Grab the Google Voice app from the Marketplace.
4.) Open the Google Voice app and follow the prompts.
Et te voila!
I just downloaded the Android Google Voice app onto my newly Rooted (UnRevoked. Thank you ) Evo 4g.
Everything is seamless, But I noticed that the app issued a new GV number, so I didn't have to use my existing GV number which I have had for a few months.
I would have liked to substitute the newly issued GV number for the GV number I have been using.
One thing I noticed though is that if I dial the newly issued GV number via the keypad, I get a message that says
"We could not complete your call. Please try again."
It appears that the GV number which was immediately issued by downloading the Android application can only be utilized directly through the application.
I would like to use my previous GV# number with the seamless Android GV application. Is this possible?
Also, I have not read anywhere that the Android GV# app issues a new GV # upon downloading.
That seems odd. Did you log into your google profile when setting up the app?

No. I just downloaded the application, and I got a menu with a few settings, But the new GV# was in the application already. I thought there would be place to enter my existing GV#, as i had no idea a new GV# would be issued. But no access on my pc like my original GV#. I have searched the web before posting, and I cannot find any info regarding this.
I will log into my previous GV account and see which GV# is there.
When i dial a number from my Evo, the screens I get are >>
1) a prompt asking if i want to dial using GV or not
2) a prompt that says dialing number using GV
The Android GV application version is 0.4.2.13
I just removed the Google voice app and reinstalled it n my Evo.
My gmail acct synced to Google Voice.
When I make an outgoing call, I see the following on the screen >
Calling via Google Voice (and the following number >)
*** 227 2000
The same number as before BUT not my original GV # previous;y issued months ago.
This '2000' number may be a generic number that GV uses to access Your Existing GV #
It showed up the 2x I downloaded the Android GV app, so it cannot be a GV#.
It is used to access your previously individually issued GV number it seems.
My question is that I have Pick Any 3 Numbers on my Acct. Which GV # do I use as one of the 3 numbers?
-My original GV# issued months ago?
-or the 'generic' '2000' number?
I would rather my original GV number, but I want to make sure the app is utilizing my originally issued GV# as the outgoing number for obvious reasons.
If there is a conflict with this 'Access' 2000# and my GV#, I will just manually input my GV# and bypass the GV App even though it is seamless.
I just found this >>
I use my iPhone 4 to connect to the Google Voice website. When I make a call through there the number I'm connected to is +1-(347)-227-2000. What is this number?
I would've expected to see my own Google Voice number appear or even the number I'm being connected to, but not that number. It was quite unexpected.
Thanks in advance for the reply.

The GV mobile web app initiates calls by dialing a Google access number, which it uses to connect to your contact.
The number you note is likely that number. Your GV number will still show as Caller ID.
From the above, I am still confused as to which number I would use as one of my Pick 3 Any Numbers?
I get a feeling that I should not use the app and input my GV# Manually, to be assured it is being used as one of my Pick3 Any Number's.
What are your thoughts, and if anyone knows for sure, please let me know.
Unistall the new gv app, and use google voice 3.4... That one uses the same number each time to dial out... U can then use/pick that number for one of ur 3 favs or sprint to home numbers... Thats what I had to do!
I had a similar problem when I installed the app. I was part of google voice when it was beta, so I figured that's why it issued the new number, but I would def log into your account from a desktop and check. You also need to dial a special number to provision the phone for voice mail. In call settings

The generic # that GV uses with the version I downloaded is the ***-227-2000 number. So with the new version you are talking about, it most likely uses another Generic GV access number so I am unsure if this generic number works regarding pick 3 number not being billed, or if it comes off your anytime minutes?
I may just use my personal GV number I have had for months and forgo the app on Android.

I am unclear what you mean regarding provisioning speed dial for voice mail re the app. I saw the option regarding using GV voice mail app or native. Is that what u mean?
Ahhhhhh! Someone please help me. My Google voice isn't acting right. I've used Google voice a lot for my voicemail only. That's what I always did, I never ran into issues. Now all my text messages, incoming calls are coming through Google voice. I don't understand. I just want to use it for my voice mail. Like usual. I even went on the Google voice settings web page. I can't figure out how to disable my text messages from coming through gvoice. Can anyone help me? Thanks
I could only see this happening if people were calling and texting your Google Voice number (you can find this in GV settings on your phone) instead of your actual phone number (the one given to you by your carrier). Google voice, I believe, is unable to intercept text messages not routed to your GV number.

they were calling and texting my google voice number. Aren't you supposed to set your google voice number to your actual phone number?
Is anybody here using Google Voice on their Flex 2? I have this issue where outgoing calls made through Google Voice are recorded in the stock phone app's call log as some random number, not the number I just dialed. I did a little a little research, and Google Voice apparently routes all outgoing voice calls through a "gateway" or "access" number. That must be the random number that's showing in my call log. But this was never a problem on all the Android phones I've owned (and I've had many) and all the different ROMs I've flashed over the years. For example, Google Voice shows the actual numbers I dialed on my previous LG G2, Samsung Galaxy S4, LG G Pro, Nexus 4, etc.
If anyone can confirm this is also happening on their LG Flex 2, then I'll know it's not just me.
Mine showed the corrected # on both side. I'm on H950 5.1.1. Maybe you can update your google voice app.
That's the way it works on iPhones. I've never seen the Google Voice "hidden routing" number show up in the native call log on any android phone I've used. (That hidden routing number in Google Voice parlance is sometimes referenced as the "grandcentral" number which was the company that Google Voice bought when it started). If you notice, your "grandcentral" number actually shows up in the background (you can of see it in small numbers in your Google Voice app for a half second) when dialing a call from your Google Voice App.
Is it happening for calls you're making from even your Contacts, or just unknown numbers that you dial manually? (Not that I'd have anything to add or offer, but I"m just curious). Are you running stock, or are you modded in any way? (Again, I'm just curious).
I actually prefer the way Apple does it so you can see the number in your call log. It's handy to have. It's a static number that doesn't change for your Google contact. You can save it and dial it directly from any phone -- even without data or making a landline call -- and the call shows up on the other end that you're calling from your Google Voice number.

I'm already on the newest version of the Google Voice app. I'm on a LS996 running 5.1.1, but I'm firmware version ZV6. I believe the newest 5.1.1 stock firmware is ZV9. I wonder if upgrading to ZV9 will fix the problem What 5.1.1 firmware version are you on?
I'm on 11x.

I see the Google routing phone number in my call log for all the outgoing calls I make. It doesn't matter if I dial someone from my Contacts or I manually dial the number. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "dialing a call from your Google Voice App". I'm dialing by tapping on names in my Contacts app, or by tapping out numbers in the stock Phone app. I only open the Google Voice app to look at text messages or listen to recorded voicemail messages.
I'm using a Sprint LS996 and running the stock 5.1.1 firmware version ZV6. No mods. If Google Voice is working on your Flex 2 and showing the real outgoing numbers in your call log, may I ask if you're running a Sprint LS996 or an AT&T H950? Maybe it's just an issue in the stock LS996 ROM. Like I said, I never had this issue in any of the other Android phones I've owned.
I'm not sure why you say it's preferable that Apple shows the Google routing number instead of the actual number dialed. Why would you want to see phone numbers you don't recognize in your call history log? Why would you want or need to save that routing number and dial it directly? If you already have that person's real phone number, what is the advantage of having another strange number for that same person?
Oh yeah, I messed up on the part of "dialing from my GV App." Sorry about that. I was confused about where I see that grandcentral number when I make a phone call. I thought I only saw it if I initiated a call from the GV app, and even when I do that it just goes to the native dialer and I see it every time.
This is what I meant: On my phone, when I make a call, whether from contacts are just using the regular dialer, the top line shows my contact and/or the number I'm calling; the second line reads "call forwarding is enabled" the third line in blue reads "CALLING VIA GOOGLE VOICE" (that line is capped on my phone) and then the grandcentral number.
I'm using the AT&T H950. Did you by chance disable call forwarding? I remember when I had sprint it didn't play nice with Google Voice. Integrating voice mail (I can't remember exactly what the problem) but it was something like call forwarding didn't work very well with Sprint (and its MVNO's) and Google Voice.
As to your last question why I prefer seeing the grandcentral number in the call log is for personal and nostalgic reasons, and I probably shouldn't have even mentioned it because the whole thing is pretty much moot and pointless now, but I might as well briefly explain. In the early days of Google Voice, which wasn't that long ago, smartphones and cheap data weren't ubiquitous and a lot of us were using dumb phones. It wasn't easy using dumb phones with Google Voice, especially texting, because that unknown number or the grandcentral number was confusing as heck to both you and the person you were texting. If you could find out what number Google Voice was routing to your contact (without using the GV app like on a dumb phone) then it made texting easier.
Now someone is probably going to jump in, or they are thinking, it was easy to text with Google Voice on a dumb phone, because there were easy workarounds like just starting the text from your computer. True, but if you wanted to initiate the text, and you didn't have access to a computer or data, it was convenient to have that grandcentral number saved in your contacts. It was always kind of hard finding that grandcentral number. Even on Android phones you have to take a screenshot, so I kind of liked having that number in the call log and being able to see it. In a way, that's really the number your calling anyway, at least that's the way I look at it.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter now since we use smartphones and have near universal cell and cheap data plans.

I should just explain why I asked that question too. I was just curious to know if there was any differentiation between unknown manually dialed numbers and saved contact numbers. I wouldn't have been able to offer any insight if in fact there was a difference between the two. I was simply curious. In my experience the Google Voice App, and routing calls through Google Voice on a mobile device, always works better for numbers you've called before with that device. I think the info gets cached in the phone's Google Voice app once used.
if your going to use google voice you should use hangouts it's a much better experience You can make and receive calls, send and receive text messages,MMS and listen to your voicemails even if you don't have a active phone service all just using WIFI download the hangout dialer from the playstore If you want to use the stock dialer app on your device but have your Google Voice number appear on caller ID, keep the original Google Voice app and select the use Google Voice to make all calls in the settings Additionally, you set the Hangouts Dialer app as your default dialer, which will display your Google Voice number on Caller ID.
Google is removing texts feature from Hangouts soon
I've been using hangouts since being integrated with Google Voice that's just a rumor going around since november that they would drop SMS features but I doubt it I'm in the latest version 7.0 i still send and receive text messages just fine
Just an update for everyone. I flashed back to unrooted stock ZV6, then I applied the ZV7, ZV8, and ZV9 OTA updates. Now that I'm on ZV9, which is the latest stock Sprint ROM, I decided to test Google Voice again. Well, the call history log in the stock phone dialer still shows the Google Voice routing number, not the actual number I dialed. I guess something is different (better) in the AT&T firmware that fixes this Google Voice issue because folks here using the AT&T H950 don't have the issue.
On my phone I use Google Voice for everything. Calls, SMS, MMS, etc. The phone is setup to use my GV number as the default "send" number. However when I send a text via Gear S3, it uses my cellular number instead of my GV number. I'm assuming it's because the Gear App on my phone is actually sending the SMS, not the default messaging app on my phone.
Is there any way around this?

I can tell my experience, although it may not be 100% applicable to you. I use GV to share my number across multiple devices, including a Frontier LTE, but not paired to a phone.
All of your contacts' numbers have GV assigned alias/shadow numbers. When one of those numbers is used from a phone listed on your GV account, your GV CID is presented instead of the phone's CID. The GV app automates this process for Android and iOS devices, but it can be done manually. And this is necessary for Windows Phone, landlines, dumb phones, Tizen, etc.
I've captured the alias numbers for my contacts and added it to their profile. Which is available to any device that can access Google contacts. So when I call or text someone from the watch, I tap their alias number instead of their actual number. My watch isn't connected to a phone, so it goes out using the Tizen dialer and messaging app.
I generally use Hangouts for messaging. These are passed through to the watch, just like other notifications. I can respond to these from the watch and it stays in the Hangouts thread, which preserves the GV CID. But I cannot initiate a new Hangouts thread from the watch.
I don't know exactly how the process may be different for the BT only S3. I think most of what I've said should apply.
