I have linked my Google Voice to my Sprint line, but now every text message I receive goes to the Google Voice app, as well as the Text app on the Nexus S. Is there some way to DISABLE texts to the Google Voice app? I'm not a fan of the interface.
Everything is going to your Google voice inbox so you have to Unselect notifications in your Google voice app and may sure text messages is select it.

Im having this EXACT problem.
I enabled Google Voice Intigration for my Sprint number. Everything was working normally for a day or two. Txt messages were going to the normal messaging app.
But now txt messages ONLY go to the Google Voice app. Messing with notifications does nothing. My normal messaging app no longer receives the txt's at all.
Is there anyway to fix this? I can live with using the Google Voice app, but id much rather use the normal app.
EDIT: FIXED IT!!! ZOMG!
I didnt have this checked on my Google Voice settings (for some reason it is unchecked by default!)

I don't have that option in my settings. When I sign out of voice on my phone, I miss all calls and don't get texts. Very weird.

You don't get two messages now? When I changed it I get one message from Google voice and one from stock.

Works perfect for me.
Go into the Google Voice app on the phone, and turn off all the notifications.
Then goto settings in voice.google.com and enable the one setting that i have circled in the screenshot above.
This problem frustrated me for HOURS yesterday until i found that one setting.

another thing to look out for: I've noticed several times, usually when reinstalling the Google Voice app, it will disable receiving sms messages to my cell.
If you're not receiving texts for any reason, I'd check your google voice settings (on the web: google.com/voice) then, on the website go to Settings > Phones > Edit > Text Settings (check).
EDIT wait.. did u modify the original post? Or am i crazy..
Maybe this is another thing entirely. I get texts while using google voice but only with google voice.
However, I want my phone to receive MMS/SMS the way it normally (used to) so I can still use handcent.
This whole thing pisses me off to no end. NONE of the settigs are working right. I'm now missing ALL calls and texts. Totally disabled GV on phone and web and still nothing...

So you *want* to recv all texts thru handcent, but you're not? If that's the case, it sounds like the forward sms setting isn't checked (my post above).

Uncle Jimmy says hello
I just want to point out that NONE of this worked for me. The ONLY way I was able to make it so that I was getting text notifications and receiving phone calls was to completely disassociate my number with GV and sign out of the GV app on my phone.
No matter what combo of settings I tried, I would miss every single phone call (phone would never ring), not be notified of voicemails (even though email and text were chosen as notifications), and my texts would all go to the GV app but it would never notify me even if I had the settings right on the website and the phone.
I have also tried all of the mentions above, with no success. I actually sent texts to myself from my computer, and tested a ton of combinations of settings.
The main thing I've learned is that it is impossible (so far) to receive a text to the STOCK app, and NOT to Google Voice.
I changed settings on GV from my phone app, as well as on my GV on the computer.

Yes if you ported your number all your texts go through Google voice now.
You PORTED your number. Any calls or texts go through Google voice now and are handled by Google. Your texts and voicemails are saved in the Voice cloud.
If you don't want to use Voice as your messaging app just turn off notifications.
Its really not that complicated.

I am considering getting this watch. However, one important question:
My Nexus 4 is running data only (No Voice Plan). I use Skype for phone calls and Sliding Messenger (through Google Voice) for Text Messages. Will I be able to see Incoming Calls from Skype? Will I be able to see and respond to text messages through Sliding Messenger (Google Voice)?
TIA!
i think you can see who is calling you from skype by using watchit! app that push notifications from your phone to skype. but you won't have answer/decline funcionality.
you will be able to see your text messages but you can't respond to them - i think to do that you need 3rd party app that gives you keyboard funcionality.
Just seeing who is calling and an indication of missed calls would be enough.What is the link for the watchit! App?
Likewise, just seeing the text messages would be enough. I can reply from my phone. So, there is a way to see the text messages even though they would NOT be coming into the Messaging App on the phone, but into Google Voice?

As some of you know Android Wear doesn't allow you to send SMS via Google Voice. I have a working solution and wanted to know if anyone would actually use it. The solution however requires Tasker and AutoWear to get the command from the watch and act on it. This is also a non-root solution. Last this will of course be open source.
Do you mean initiate a new Hangout with someone (a) or respond to an SMS via Google Voice (b)?
A. If you wish to send a Google Voice SMS through Hangouts, you should be able to use the "Send text to Sam Hey, how's it going?" voice command. If Hangouts is set as your phone's SMS app on your phone and it is setup to default to your GV #, that should work. If you wish to send a new hangout chat (non-SMS) through Hangouts, I think you're SOL or stuck with a very hacky Tasker/AutoWear situation.
B. You are able to respond to someone from hangouts. Hangouts will default to the method of contact that you received the prompting message in.

I just got my Moto 360 this past week and the fact GV/Hangouts is so horribly "unsupported" is a major turn off since being able to to send texts via GV via the watch was going to be a big use case. (But as I've learned through use and bunches of Google searches it's not that simple.)
I'm about to head off on my own Tasker+AutoWear solution but I only "kind of" know how to use Tasker properly and haven't used AutoWear at all so if you already have something that works I'd love to see it.

I'm Interested in this,, any ideas about incoming google voice call notifications?
Hangout SMS
I must appreciate for your fantabulous work on creating app that allows send hangout sms by voice.
Tried Quick for Wear?
I think you should be able to use Quick for Wear to send Hangout messages. And as a bonus, you have the option of using voice, or one of their built in keyboards, or FlickKey for Wear - which also lets you edit voice messages with a keyboard if you use voice through it.

Hi, I really would use and appreciate this feature. I only use GV for sms over Hangouts. Even when using send text via the phone's "okay Google" send text feature, it defaults to sending a hangouts sms (from my real cell#) instead of my gv #. It drives my nuts. Is there anyway to TWEAK a setting on the office for okay Google?. So that Okay Google command, sends all sms by default using the GV number. This may be the solution...

This is because when you use the voice commands to send a message, it is never touching the default SMS app (in this case, Hangouts). Rather, it composes the whole thing and even sends from its own user interface. Up until a recent update to Hangouts, this is how it worked system-wide. In other words, clicking send msg from the dialer or contacts screen, for example, would open hangouts as the sms app (if set to be the default for sms), but always start out as sending from the carrier instead of GV. We could change the setting in Hangouts to always start messages with the GV account by default, but that only helped when opening and composing a new message in hangouts. Initiating a text anywhere in else in the OS, for some reason made Hangouts go back to the carrier. My guess is that they always intended GV to be a companion to the carrier, but not actually replace it. For example, if you wanted to have a private number for personal use and another more public number to give out, this would make sense.
I kept submitted bug reports about this behavior (that Hangouts should respect your default account to send from), and I know other people as well. It seems they finally got the memo and made that change a few months ago I think, and the current version of Hangouts finally respects your SMS account of choice when initiating a new msg from anywhere.
But using "OK GOOGLE" does not. Because it uses its own interface and therefore never touches your default SMS app. I'm guessing the solution proposed above uses Tasker to intercept the command, copy the transcribed message, then open a Hangouts message to paste it in. I really wish Google would issue a proper fix for this so that those of us who wish to use GV as our seamless phone number could be a globally supported function of the OS. I honestly got excited that the new GV app finally supports MMS and group texts without requiring hangouts, but sadly you still can't set GV to be the default messaging app. Its like, they almost get what we want to do, but aren't quite ready to embrace it yet. So I wouldn't hold me breathe for the compose via voice feature to be rolled out in an official fix so soon.
I'm a little confused about how Hangouts works on AW. I'm specifically interested in the functionality on an LTE watch when it's not connected to a phone.
Can Hangouts messages be received and responded to from a watch in standalone mode? Is it possible to initiate a message from Hangouts, preserving the GV caller id?
I have a Gear S3 and can receive and respond to Hangouts messages, but not initiate them. I was hoping that AW watches would handle this better.

So before Android Wear 2.0 was released, you'd get notifications that you could respond to but not necessarily do much more than that - sounds a lot like your setup on the S3. Now, you have fully functioning apps that are separate from your phone. I don't use Google Voice, but the Hangouts app lets you see all your conversations including media. Of course, you can initiate a new message in any of those conversations (without needing a notification to reply to). But, I don't see an option to start a new conversation from the watch app. Otherwise, you have full functionality. This is how most apps will work once devs release a version to the Play Store on Android Wear watches.
In short, get an Android Wear watch with a sim card and you can leave your phone at home without losing connectivity.
I am now running CM12.1 on my Photon Q. I successfully installed and provisioned Sprint-VVM-M.apk (version T.7.0.0.16)
When I get a Voicmail, an SMS message shows up in my messaging app from (650)603-0000. Here is an example of one I dialed in from google voice on my laptop:
[email protected] has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. To listen call 650-603-0000 or click http://smsvoice.sprint.com/iv.do?d5ee6b9fbb3

Calling 6506030000 results in a busy signal. Clicking on the link, opens Firefox at the mentioned URL. There is a box with a play icon. When I click it, the page refreshes, but I hear nothing in my phone. There is a SmithMicro Software logo and copyright message at the bottom of the screen.
The message does not show up in the VVM inbox. I found this thread on the Sprint community forums regarding this issue.

... you are using a third party text messaging program which is intercepting the notification to the Voicemail app before it can hide it ...
If you are using a third party text messaging app (GoSMS, ChompSMS, etc), depending on the application many of them will have an option that needs to be adjusted to correct this. If you are using one, let me know and I can see if I can locate that setting for you. Alternatively, if you do search on here or Google, you can likely find someone with the same app and same issue and how they fixed it.

Evidently these messages are supposed to be handed off from the SMS app to the Visual Voicemail app. The original poster was using GoSMS. They could not figure out how to change the settings mentioned above; so, he opted to switch to Google Voice.
I had been using SMS + MMS Messages from SMS & Messages Studios from the play store. I uninstalled it and am now using the default messaging app in CM 12.1.
Does anyone have a clue what settings JPSquared might have been referring to?
Will the default SMS in CM 12.1 let me change that?
If not is anyone using an sms app that successfully hands off messages from 650-603-0000 to the VVM app? Could you tell me the SMS app and version and the VVM app version you are using that work together?
Postscript notes & thoughts:
In the default SMS app, I can set a specific ringtone for the 6506030000 conversation
... but, if I delete the conversation rather than individual notifications in it, it reverts to default for the next message
In my SMS, I also see messages from 9016. These appear to be meant to turn on / off the message waiting indicator. I assume these should also be passed to the VVM app. VVM should set my light to blue if this works, but are no such luck.
When I have a voicemail waiting, I get a message to 9016 with "MWI Notif turnOn" in it. When the voicemail box is empty, I get one to 9016 that says "MWI Notif turnOff".
Any Smart SMS App That Could Change the LED Color?

I could live without the Visual Voicemail app downloading my voicemail at all, if I could find a way to get my messaging app to set my phone's LED to a specific color based on those messages to 9016!
Anyone know of one that can?
Could it be MIUI whatever that is??
possible clue from this thread
saint01 said:
Yes actually I figured it out. The epic, and I'm told sprint, do not support MIUI which was enabled by handcent when I flipped a setting. Unfortunately turning it back off and uninstalling handcent did nothing.
What you have to do is download the sprint voicemail apk and overwrite the existing app. This fixes it.
I must have tried a couple hundred possible solutions with no luck before I finally tried this. Good luck

gosms may work

It turns out GoSMS was the culprit that was breaking my Visual Voicemail and causing me to receive the 9016 voicemail texts.
Apparently if you go into settings for GOSMS>>then Advanced>>the Receive Settings, there is an option for "Disable other Message notification".
With that option checked, it will actually disable all other SMS services and that will mess up the visual voicemail because I guess that receives a form of text message that tells it you have a voicemail and to go and get it.
Once I unchecked this option, and rebooted my phone, I began to get all my missing voicemails. So for anyone else who is having this issue, I hope this clarifies.

rebooting erasing vvm data
re-provisioning
no message from 9016! hmm. darn i have to go to work more later!
system permissions?
I have a theory of why this is happening
sms messages are stored in system partition -- need higher privileges to read
vvm gets installed to data partition
Probably Have to Change Phone Company
I could write a program in Python to turn the light on when a text message is received, but C, Java, etc. are out of my league.
To replace voice mail with Google Voice, your carrier must support Conditional Call Forwarding. Red Pocket -- my current carrier does not. Yesterday, I contacted many of the Sprint mvno's listed here before I found one that supports that feature.
I am looking at changing to Pix Mobile, because they do support it. Very frustrating to have to change carriers when there is such a simple work-around to make the Message Waiting Indicator light tell you that you have a voicemail.

I have the Mate 9, but Android Messages will not function properly on it. It will only show "Unknown Sender" and will not allow me to reply to messages.
At the bottom, it says "Sender does not allow replies". Anybody else have this issue?
same here. aching for the fix!
i had same problem, switched to Textra app and I love it.
I was having a similar problem with my daughter (using a Samsung Active). Her messages frequently arrived as Unknown Sender, and in group MMS messages her messages would never download. Frequently her simple SMS texts to me would show as "Download Failed". So I switched to Textra and that resolved the issue, but I wasn't happy that I could not use the stock Message program or Android Messages. I called AT&T and they re-provisioned my Mate 9 on the account, and I reset the APN to Default in Settings and now everything works fine. Odd to say the least, but at least it works now.

Not talking about mms.
ALL messages are from unknown sender
If rooted, have you tried freezing the stock SMS app? Did you restore your SMS from an application?
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk
Not rooted. All other sms apps work fine.
There is another thread where I answered this question. Do NOT download Google messenger from the play store. For some odd reason it doesn't work. You have to go to apk mirror and download the apk from there. The only way to get rid of unknown sender is to delete all texts and start over with a fresh install from apk mirror. It fixed the MMS problems as well. I don't know why you have to do it. You just do.
So far I got the app to work. First, I downloaded it from the Play Store. Then I deleted my messages. Afterwards, I restarted the phone then it started working.
Bad thing is messages won't appear even after backing them up.
