my Google voice# calls n messages are not Forwarding to my mobile number, why is that? is there something i'm not enable somewhere, help plz
Is the problem that voicemails are not being forwarded or the calls are not being forwarded? Did you remember to validate your mobile number when enabling forwarding?

Your Google voice settings on the Google voice website
You have converted your Sprint number to a Google Voice number. There are pros and cons to this. What you are hearing is the call screening option. To turn off call screening, go to [desktop] https://www.google.com/voice?ui=desktop#callsettings or [mobile] https://www.google.com/voice/m/generalsettings .

When I receive a call, it rings for about half a second and I can't answer it. It goes to my GV voicemail. I can't answer the call.
I thought, man if GV is this buggy I'm going to just use the T-Mo voicemail service. So in Call Settings I switched back to my carrier. But still, when I call my phone, it rings for half a second, then goes to GV voicemail. WTF.
So I went to GV settings and found my forwarding phone in the Phones tab and I clicked on "Deactivate GV on my phone." It said I had to go to my phone and type ##004#. So I did that and nothing happened. Still same problems.
This is really annoying because a) I can't answer my calls, b) I don't get any missed call notifications.
Can anyone help me?

I turned off call screening and I get my calls now. But my missed call notifications are coming from Google Voice. WTF.
Also I have my voicemail set back to My Carrier still and if I call myself I get GV Voicemail.
Shot in the dark..but do you have "Do not disturb" enabled in the Google Voice app or on the website? If so, disable it.

Nope. I turned off Call Screening and I finally started getting calls. BUT WHY CANT I DISABLE GOOGLE VOICE COMPLETELY!?!?!?
Have you tried logging in Google vice on computer and change settings to dis associate the number sign to that particular email account
Yeah, dude. It's in the OP.

So let's say I have a GV number and a mobile number. And I turn on Call Screening. Why would it screen calls to my mobile number???

Even if I had DND enabled.... Why would it block calls TO MY MOBILE NUMBER?
All I want GV to do with my mobile number is forward calls from my GV number.
Easy answer. Your sprint number takes over your google voice number.
Check out here how to fix that

I posted the last post which is the easiest way to do it.

Well that would make more sense if I wasn't on T-Mobile!
Have you tried to change your settings via the web. Going to your Google voice account and change your voicemail options. Although it sounds like you need to change your cm forwarding on your phone. Go to T-Mobiles site for instructions or call T-Mobile.

Is there a dialer app that can natively reject/block unwanted calls on a G3?

Actually, the default dialer will do that already but it's not called call block or anything like that... well, sort of... Open your Contacts app, find the contact you want to block and open it, then clock Edit (pencil icon), then tap the 3 dots menu and tick "All calls to voicemail", this will send any call from that contact immediately to voicemail, which is what will happen if a caller is blocked at the phone level anyway.

So there is no true call block or reject in Android? By blocking, I mean no connection, no voicemail, no SMS or MMS. Maybe I was fooled by my old Gingerbread dialer.

Not to my knowledge... it would have to actually answer and disconnect to do that. The most likely case here is that it would send a reject message to the cellular provider when the call is presented to it, instead of a trying or ringing message, which would then route it to the default Call Foward No Answer point.
If you did not have voicemail, or had your call forwarding disabled, the call would get a busy signal, but you couldn't do that on a call by call basis.
You can use the new google dialer which come with that option, you can get it on apkmirror...
You can use truecaller. You can choose how calls are blocked. It blocks a list of spammers automatically.
Here's the link.

I saw that when it came out, but never installed. Have you tried the new dialer? Can it coexist with the current dialer without any difficulty?
I assume you are referring to Google Phone 2.05.07_rc4, not Google Phone 3.00.04_rc4?

Looks interesting. I assume you are a user? I like that it is a dialer as well.
Yes I am a user and am satisfied with it. Go ahead and download it.

I know a little off topic, even though the two dialers work well alongside so far, the new dialer can not answer a call. So there is no way to answer a call if the original dialer is disabled.

The new Google Dialer provides a way to block calls. I laughed when I set up numbers to block, the app came back and said you still may receive voice messages. So pretty much the same as forwarding calls to voice mail as you originally implied.

If you use truecaller it has options: reject automatically or ring silently. It won't send to voicemail.

I like what I read about True Caller. The only reason I hesitate., it is unclear to me how much privacy is released once I sign up. Even with Google it is a constant battle. One thing I did not like about the new dialer is it wanted to make my cell number discoverable to the web. And to turn that feature off was a deep dive into the Google Control Panel. So what does True Caller do with all my contacts?

For unknown callers it displays their names and if they are reported spam by other users it will automatically reject the call.
It doesn't do anything to your contacts.
If you call another truecaller user he will get to know who is calling.

True caller uses your contacts and display their names when they call up someone who doesn't have their number saved.

That is what I was thinking, they use the contacts list to better enhance caller ID.

I never in my life would prefer this app. Privacy breach and what not? Once read online that it holds more than a million Indian database. Stay out of it.
