I am running the "gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.1.user.final" ROM.
Was able to sign up for Google Voice, setup phones for a landline number and Google chat.
From my desktop PC, I am able to login to Google Voice and use it to make and receive calls.
But when I try to setup Google Voice on the G Tab, it seems to get stuck on the "Set up voicemail" screen
"We have a problem"
"Your voicemail settings could not be loaded. Please try again."
If I hit "OK" then "Next", it goes back to "We have a problem".
If I hit "Skip" then it is stuck in this "Set up voicemail" screen with the "Back" and "Next" buttons grayed out.
I have read several posts similar to this problem.
What I don't understand is why does it think that this G Tab is a phone?
What should I do?
I am having the same issue. Google Voice had been working before but I recently had to wipe user data and now when I go through the setup it gets stuck exactly as you described. Has anyone found a solution. btw I am running tnt lite 4.2.5
Hope this helps or Hope I'm right

I could be completely wrong, but I had the same problem, my conclusion is that google voice is trying to identify your number through voicemail BUT...it can't because there's no sim card. I don't know I might be wrong. Hopefully someone else can come in and correct me or confirm the info. Good luck.
I downloaded the googlevoice apk file from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959310
Installed this apk file.
Rebooted the G Tab.
Started over the Google Voice settings.
This time I moved beyond the "Set up voicemail" screen.
Finished the Google Voice setup completely.
When I try to use Google Voice using my Landline as the forwarded phone, it works.
But when using Google chat as the forwarded phone:
When I try to use Google Voice to make an outbound call, Google Voice says that it is calling me but I do not see any inbound calls on the G Tab.
When I call my Google Voice number from any landline phone, on the landline phone I can hear the ringing but I do not see any inbound calls on the G Tab.
What am I missing?
I just want to make and receive calls in Google Voice from the G Tab.
Trust me,
Google voice still works for text and calls. Once you sign in just hi the home button. You can then select a contact to text or call. It infuriated me to no end untilled I figured this out. Now I call my best friend in Hawaii for free.

I was messing with Google Voice just last night. I found a post that suggested getting to the voicemail page and then just backing all the way out of GV again. I did that then went to test by sending my very first SMS from my gtab (i think I went to the 'phone' app then found the contact I wanted then long pressed or something then saw a little message button, clicked it and it took me to a place to type a text... and based on the tiny icon on the top I believe I was actually in Google Voice). Oh and the sms went through. As far as calling goes I didn't test it but I'm pretty confident that if I just go to the phone app and dial a number it will work. If I had my gtab with me I'd put my money where my mouth it right now.
I'll check on this thread when I get home later and let you know if I have better details or new info.
Good luck!
I had the same problem but resolved it by downloading the latest Google Voice from the market. Went through the setup again and when it failed the first time I found the "Skip" button had been moved and worked flawlessly.
According to Google Voice -> Settings -> About ->
I am running Build number 0.4.2.13
Is this the latest?

That's the build I have and is the current build in the market (as far as I can see...).
It is not just the Google Voice app on the G Tab.
When I open the web browser.
I log in to the Google Voice web page
https://www.google.com/voice
I click the Call button.
In the Number to call field, I enter a friend's landline number.
In the Phone to call with, I select Google Talk.
When I hit connect, it says "calling you ..."
But there is no ringing on the G Tab?
So what exactly is it calling?
I powered off the G Tab.
Use the same Google id on my desktop to access the Google Voice web page.
Made the same outbound call, it works.

I have been searching the market for "Google Voice" but I don't see any such app in the market.
Is "Google Voice" the correct term to search for?

Yes, that is correct. If it isn't there then you probably need to perform one or more of the market fix procedures first.

Last I heard, Google Talk for Android did not yet support voice/video calls. You should still be able to have it set up a call to your landline or cell.
Ok, I got the Market fix done.
I don't quite understand the difference between ...

I had the similar problem. I finished the install the file you provided. Voice mail set up was done. But, when I go back to the home screen, click on the phone button on the right side of the screen (one of the three button) and dialed a number. It says call setup failed. I am not sure why that happened. Does anyone know? I just want to be able to make calls, no need to receive calls. Thanks

Google Talk for Android (the app on the G Tablet) is not the same as the Windows app or the browser plugin for desktop machines. It doesn't support voice or video calls so when you select it to be used from Google Voice it won't work. To make and/or receive calls from GV on your tablet you must use a VOIP product and set it up in GV as you would any other phone. There are threads on this forum that discuss how to do that.
You can still initiate calls from your mobile or landline by setting them up in GV then selecting the appropriate one in the "phone to call with" menu from the web page.
Interestingly... you can also log into Google Talk (or gmail with the GT plugin) from your desktop and use your G Tablet to initiate a call using that instance of Google Talk.
How can I get Google Now/Search to work offline? I've got Google voice typing to work offline through settings > language & input methods but I'm unable to use it with Google Now. Anyone have any ideas?
ex: I'd like to just say "Open Settings" to be able open the settings app without being online...
I'm struggling with this issue as well. Sometimes when I'm traveling, I'll be in an area with no data connection or WiFi. I can say "OK Google" to activate the voice search...however, any command I give it (i.e. Play 'artist') is met with "Can't reach Google at the moment. You can still use the mic to place calls. Say "Call" and a name or number." I know the offline voice recognition works, because I can turn off my WiFi and data and use the voice input to write text. I have Xposed installed and I tried the "GoogleOfflineVoice" module, but I'm still met with the same message.
Does anyone have any ideas of a work around for this? This is particularly frustrating because I used the Google Search API and Tasker to automate a lot of my phone usage while I'm in the car. However, if I don't have a data connection, it no longer functions.
If you don't have a data connection it's never going to work. It has to go to Google servers where the database is and all the heavy lifting takes place

Hello,
Someone is managing to use the "Call" command with the google search offline?
I already have downloaded the offline language files, but I still could not make the calls work.
Voice typing works, "Ok Google" on any screen works, but when the screen appears to speak the command, appears "Can't reach google at the moment".
Any tips?
Sometimes I get the message "I'm not seeing a WhatsApp number for that contact" when I try to use assistant to send a whatsapp message, but not always. Sometimes everything works good and sometimes I get the error.
The same thing happens when I call someone with assistant.
When it's working:
Right after rebooting the watch or turning off and on bluetooth.
When everything is working good in google app on phone > Settings -> Assistant -> devices -> galaxy watch 4, it shows "connected" and I can use assistant for commands with contacts
When it's not working:
After a while (minutes or hours) in google app the status changes to "disconnected", I don't know why.
Important: even when it shows "disconnected" the watch is still fully paired and everything works fine, notifications, calls, and so on.. even assistant is still working, except for commands with contacts like "call dad" or "send a whatshapp to John"..
Any fix? Thanks
Hi. Well I tried this silly way of forcing watch assistant to connect to google. Ask him to show you something in google like in your drive or something. Like your most recent photo. Even if you don't have anything there, it will connect to Google to look for it, and after that you can commence with send whatsup.
Hi, sorry I have a problem getting google assistant to work with whatsapp via a Dasaita PX6 android car tablet.
Basically I can't dictate the message while I'm driving, this happens:
- activate the assistant with "ok google"
- I say: "I want to send a whatsapp message"
- the assistant says: "ok, who do you want to send the message to?"
- I say: (example) "to Giulia"
- the assistant says: "there are no whatsapp numbers for giulia"
It's as if he can't access the address book, but in reality if I try to send whatsapp messages by writing them by hand I can easily, so I think it's a problem with the assistant.
Could this be fixable?
