Hey everyone,
I get texts from 2 numbers on a constant basis to my google voice number and suddenly I noticed that I wasn't getting them anymore on my phone. They show up on the google voice app and on the web page just fine, but not in the default messaging app on my Galaxy Note 4, or in Google Hangouts when I switch that to be my default messaging app.
Things I've tried:
- deleting the contact and everything from google voice
- unlinking and relinking my phone via the google voice webpage and app
- hard resetting my phone
- having those two numbers message my phones built in number (works fine with both messaging, and hangouts app)
- checking the phones blocked/spam list even after a hard reset and nothing was there.
- creating a new google account with a new google voice number and linking my phone to the new account (both text messages went to my phone fine!)
I get every other text message and phone call just fine, sending and receiving to my google voice number. But these two suddenly stopped. And using a different google account/google voice number makes it work too.
I can't just use the google voice app because I need the messages to work with my car's text messaging system.
Somehow something is blocking those 2 numbers from reaching my phone though when using my main google voice account.
Any ideas besides just saying screw it and using the new number? I'd really hate to stop using my number that I've had for years.

The new Google voice app has a option labeled "Notifications via SMS" which disables any form of SMS forwarding to your cellphone in Google Voice, so if you're no longer receiving any text messages from people texting your Google Voice number this is the cause.
As someone who doesn't use the Google Voice Synchronization & Notification system to save battery life, I had disabled all those settings not realizing that this was happening. It probably seems pretty silly, but this could help a few people who are still talking about missing text messages.
Thanks this is happening to my wife's phone.
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).

I got it working. Don't forget to hit "edit" under your #
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.

Hello, coming from the EVO, and now the awesome Nexus-S 4G, I am used to the stock Visual Voicemail that Sprint provides on the EVO's, and with the Nexus I just setup Google Voice. Some issues and questions please.
- My texts are going to the Voice app, not GO SMS anymore ? I only want texts using the GO app, not Google Voice.
- It seems I did use Google Voice like a year ago, and I have a boatload of message popping up from last year, how do I delete all these old voice mail messages ?
- Is there a way for the little Voice app icon, to display a # next to it of unread messages ? Like if I miss a text message it will show a little number 1 at the top corner of the app icon of how many missed texts I have, can the voice icon show that too ?
UPDATE;
I logged into my Google account on my computer, found the settings options, but some things still seem strange ?
My text messages are still going to Google Voice, and not even showing up in my GO SMS text app at all, or even the stock Android messaging, they only going to Google voice ? I did log into my gmail account on my computer and disabled texts, but it didn't seem to take ?
do you even want the messages to come through Google Voice? If not you can remove all of it and just use GV as Voicemail like Visual Voicemail...
If you just want to use GV as voice mail you have to log into your GV account through the web, Go into the phones setting and turn off the SPrint GV integration. Go into the app on the phone and delete the app data. Update the app in the market and then you will be able to "Skip" the GV Sprint integration and use it only for Voicemail.
I probably won't get back to this post until tomorrow so hopefully someone else can guide you.

Yes I want Google Voice as just a visual voice mail like i had with my EVO, I don't want Google Voice used for anything else besides that.
2 ways to do this, i've done it many times, lol.
1.) open gvoice settings in the browser from a computer and click deactivate google voice on this phone. You should then see the link change to "activate google voice on this phone." you will also see below it: deactivate google voicemail on this phone, that tells you that voicemail is still on. I think you want both of hte text message boxes unchecked as well. save it, that should do it. this is how i'm setup, i only use it like VVM.
2.) clear data on the google voice app on the phone. launch the app. when you get to the activation part, hit the SKIP button, basically it sets you up without using the extended gvoice features, select "do not use google voice to make any calls." finish the setup wizard, should be good from there.

I've got a Sprint Note5 running MOAR v2.0 OK3. I have Google Voice integrated with my Sprint account and use my Google voice number for everything. I recently switched my default text messaging app to the Samsung Messages app, disabled Hangouts for Google Voice, and connected a Gear s2 Classic smartwatch to my phone. Every time one of my contacts messages me, they get a message asking "Who is this?" or "Do I know you?" These messages do not appear in my SMS or Google Voice logs. What the hell is going on? Can anyone help me out?
UPDATE: I think I fixed the problem. I had old forwarding numbers in Google voice that I don't use anymore. I deleted them and now I no longer have the problem.
