As a Google voice user it sucks not being able to use those widgets that allow you to see your SMS messages on the home screen or apps like SMS Popup. Now since Google Voice has push messages it would be cool to see some widgets and apps that take advantage of it. Getting to the point now, can anybody make a widget that shows your incoming Google Voice messages?

Are you saying you don't like the current form of notification that just shows an indicator in the tray at the top? Just curious.
No I just hate not being able to use those widgets that show your sms messages.
Sort of like the SMS widget on Sense?

Lots of work-arounds but I'm with you. Wish there was a widget or popup.
You could go into your GV Settings and have your SMS forwarded to your phone, which would put them in your SMS widgets and popups. However, that defeats the purpose of having free SMS with Google Voice, which is why I stopped forwarding the messages to my phone when the new Push version of the app came out.
You could also go into GV Settings and have SMS forwarded to your gmail address, and then the texts would show up in any Gmail widget, such as Pure Messaging Widget. You can reply to the SMS via email.

That is a good idea but I've found that forwarding SMS messages to GMail to not be that reliable. Inbox Syncronizaiton usually gets me my message on time.
i would like to see the fancy little chat bubbles in gvoice sms
superficial, i know lol
however, the notification bar only says "google voice, 1 unread message" not a brief summary of the message which would be cool
This is why I bounce between using the GV app and fwd mt texts. I'd love an SMS notify widget for google voice. Im sure the dev could add th4e option to use it with GV.
I've searched the market and this forum fairly extensively. I'm looking for a hands free app that reads google voice sms. Is there a reason no one does this?
As for Google Voice text message alerts, the new version of the Google Voice app has a feature in the settings under 'sync and notifications' for 'receive text messages' which when I set it to 'also via messaging app' which makes the received Google Voice text messages work with the third party apps that I have installed which are SMS Popup and Tasker. So, I have Tasker speaking out load the text message if it is from certain contacts. Seems like the Google Voice app now has native integration using this setting.
Verizon must be weird, because if I check that setting, I get charged for each text coming in through google voice.
I got rid of my messaging plan and use Google Voice solely to send text messages now. It's great and all except the default smileys for Google Voice annoy me. Is there any way to change them?
I'm not sure if this is a new google feature or an issue on my end.
I use the native messaging app to send out sms to certain people to display my carrier provided number and the google voice app to send out sms to other people to display my google voice number. i discovered that regardless of using google voice or the native messaging app(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507720), it was going through as my google voice number (e.g. google voice and/or native messaging app sends sms as google voice number). this is what i originally thought was happening until i discovered that if i send an sms with the native messaging app to another user with google voice installed, it goes through as my google voice number. if i send an sms with the native messaging app to someone without google voice installed, it displays my carrier provided number.
*obviously if i send an sms from the google voice app, it shows up as the google voice number*
i'm not exactly sure how to fix this. i could be completely wrong in the scenario above because i've only tested it with several other friends. i have made no changes to my google voice web settings, nor my google voice app and native messaging app.
any help is greatly appreciated.
i'm on verizon, gs3 android 4.1.1
even with google voice uninstalled and the phone rebooted, sending from the native messaging app sends through as my google voice number
bump
anyone?
Install the Google voice app and in the app settings. Click on send text through app instead of through phone messaging app. This might help

So I've been searching the web for a clear explanation but am now more lost than before.
Goal: I would like to have my SMS/MMS synced and backed up across devices (much like iMessage i suppose) - preferably with Hangouts - so that I can reply to a text message from my computer or another device - I would also like to see my Google Voice voicemails in the hangouts app also.
Is this even possible?
I've seen google help docs with instructions on how to integrate Voice with Hangouts but I do not see those settings in my Hangouts app. Am I missing something?
And I recall reading about Hangouts being capable of syncing SMS and MMS messages across devices - not sure if it's a projectFi exclusive feature or what.
Any suggested apps to accomplish my goal if google apps are not the way to go? Please advise. I don't use google voice for free calls or text messaging - it's sole purpose is to keep my voice messages. Nor do I use Hangouts for free calls or free messaging. I'd like to use my carrier service and phone number.
I'm not rooted (anymore, thanks to android pay) so non-root solutions would be most helpful - though root solutions may pull me back to the dark side.
