hi, i was setting up google voice on my nexus s 4g and it asked me if i wanted to use my google voice number, or my phone number. i accidentally chose to replace my google voice number with my sprint phone number. now every time someone calls i cant answer it, and i am afraid that google is charging me each time i make a call, because my real phone number is now my google voice number. how can i fix this?
Login to Google voice from a pc and it should have the option to disassociate it. My number is converted to Google voice and it works fine. Also, there's no charges for Google voice unless you're making international calls.

My buddy on his oneplus one texted me with hangouts and i'm getting it from his google voice number. I had him text a random friend of mine and the number shows up as his google voice number as well. MMS not working via hangouts for google voice. it just sends it via the phones number instead of the google voice number.
Can anyone test this to see if google voice/hangouts integration is working?

I think Voice+ on CM can use your GV number. At least I think I recall seeing that when I originally set up my OPO.
Have the same problem. Cant send any MMS if google voice is installed. Works fine without it.

Been that way for a while... Test this now when I get a text from my friends the main number is theirs but Google give it another 10 digit number. Open up hangouts within the text and press the phone button and it will dial out a weird number but call the person back showing your GV number
Hello Everyone,
Since everyone is so hyped about the new Voice integration with hangouts and more specifically, we finally have the ability to make outgoing call without using 3rd party programs, still no MMS with the google voice number but the outgoing calling alone is awesome.
Anyway, since this is XDA and the new functionality gives XDA's plenty of money saving ideas I'm certain of that, here goes.
HANGOUTS & GOOGLE VOICE = 1.6 MB PER HOUR OF CALLING
DISCLAIMER
That is an amazingly low amount of data! I ran this test making a 3 minutes phone using my nexus 5 on LTE. It's by far not a scientific test but a very good estimate of how much data you can save making calls with GOOGLE VOICE THRU HANGOUTS. I'm sure you 30$ a month 5GB t-mobile people can put this to good use, I know I will! (Goodbye stupid deadzones in Brooklyn College ) Finally us Nexus 5 owners have a more legitimate way of making WiFi calls since T-mobile ditched us on that one. I'm plenty excited about all of this! What do you guys think? How will you be using the new outgoing calls feature?
LASTLY
The updated hangouts apk is below in case you didn't get the update yet like me. enjoy!
I am so anxious for this integration. I've already got the new apk and dialer installed, now I keep checking Hangouts for the popup to integrate SMS and voicemail from GV into hangouts. Wish there was a way to force it like the search for OK Google Everywhere.

Same, although my rom still has CM Voice+ and it's still handling the integration quite well. I currently use Groove Forwarder from the play store to switch my GV forwarding based on location. I'm very curious if it will still be functional once I'm integrated, as currently, I don't see any options in the new Hangouts app to determine what number rings. If it stays this way, I'll end up getting double rings (dialer & Hangouts) when someone calls my GV number.

I have the same double ring problem. I'd like to see an option to only accept/make Hangouts calls over wifi because I use Llama to disable the cell radio when on wifi at home (because the cell signal is very poor and it drains my battery very fast and also because I have a Ting "metered" plan and trying to keep usage as low as possible -- basically on cell only when away from home, wifi otherwise). I currently use the older version of GrooveIP, but was hoping to be able to move to Hangouts.

Me too, I keep thinking that maybe I did something wrong and I'm being left out, but Google's just rolling the server-side changes out slowly, I've read. Such anxiety
This actually works for every Android device that can use hangouts/google voice too. Right now I have it on my Galaxy Player, and it works great. I'm glad that Google finally integrated google voice, because it makes things a lot easier lol. I'm surprised that this isn't getting a lot of news.
We still need the GV app to send texts, right? Or am I missing something and it's possible to text using your GV number from the Hangouts app?

I'm checking on it right now, but it seems that you don't need the GV app anymore. You should be able to text using your GV number in hangouts. I'm setting mine up right now.
Here's the topic that google created to set up GV with Hangouts. I ran into a problem where I had to disconnect hangouts in gmail, and then reconnect it to see the Google Voice option in the settings.

Ah, thanks. They don't make it easy to find. Same deal with the Hangouts Dialer, jumping through many hoops to set it all up. I guess they don't want to piss off the carriers just yet.

By disconnect do you mean sign or and then sign back in?
OK, more help needed: how do I switch the number and SMS is sent from when starting a new conversation? I like the "smart reply" option, but sometimes I want to send from the GV number, other times from my cell number (in particular for MMS).

By disconnect I mean reverting back to the original chat in gmail, then going back to hangouts.

Nope also to answer your Google voice question further when trying to access or send message you get this screen. However, I had to unchecked merge messages to even get it to send with hangouts lol.

hangout issue
Hey has anyone had the issue where hangout calls connects, but you get can't hear anything. Basically only one end of the line gets sound for some reason. each time i had to hang up and try again.
I haven't on the 2 test calls I made. Any suspicions as to why its happening?
Whats your OS or ROM, Phone, Network, what was your coverage like. Wifi or mobile network.
The more info the better

Not working for me, still using cell minutes when making calls
?
Edit: I think I figured it out, if I use the phone dialer it asks if I want to use Google voice, it uses minutes, if I skip it and use the hangouts dialer no minutes. So do I need GV installed at all?
Don't need Voicemail on GV, I can use T-Mobile Visual Voicemail.
in order to receive wifi calls there is box to check in settings plus
in google voice settings [web page] I had to stop google from forwarding my google # to my phone [uncheck nexus 5]
this keeps google from forwarding the call twice and keeps the native dialer blocking the hangouts dialer
I'm on wifi 95% of the time so this should lower my $12 Ting bill to $9 on a normal month.

How is Ting. My friend recommended me to get it, but I don't know it I want that or Republic Wireless lo. Also did you figure out how to send SMS with Hangouts via Google Voice?
Theres actually a setting telling you to activate the sms thru hangouts.

How does Google Voice work with Lollipop? I use my Google Voice number as my primary number, and nobody has my actual number on my SIM card. I use Google Voice for all inbound and oubound calls. I have NOT migrated over to Hangouts yet, because the Hangouts dialer can't be answered without unlocking the phone, etc. What happens to Google Voice when you go to Lollipop? My phone got the notification to update, but I am worried about breaking my call functionality.
Thank you in advance.
Looks like Lollipop can still use the Google Voice app and everything appears to work the same as before.
Sprint Visual Voicemail Zip Test :
Any brave soul want to try flashing this? It was intended for htc 10th but the author suggested it MIGHT work for us.
It gives the libs etc for vvm.

That's an error that has persisted for years. Go into Google voice, choose to have it handle voicemail. Go to the normal phone dialer, go to settings, go to voicemail, choose voice. Then, go back to the dialer and dial *73 followed directly by your Google voice number (I.e. If my Google voice number is 9734546666, I dial *739734546666), it'll ring half a ring and then hangs up, confirming your voicemail is now forwarding to Google voice.
Trust me. I've been a sprint user for 18 years and have used Google voice for my voicemails for ably 4 years. I've changed phones a number of times and this always works, just did it a week ago with my new pixel

Where do you choose to have it handle voicemail? I don't see the setting in gv website. So in the dialer there's no option but carrier either
In the app. For what we're talking about every setting is in the phone app.
In settings, you need to link your phones number into the app. Then under calls, **** forward calls, then check off your number on the page that comes up. After this, Google Voice should show up under voicemail settings in the calls section of settings under the dialer.

Weird, still no option in dialer settings. Ugh!
For some reason, I don't either now, which is weird. But it's working after I set it up in GV and dial the code *73 with my voicemail qnumber
