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 have a problem with Hangouts app. I just don't receive messages on my phone. When I text to a person he receives my message, but it doesn't work the other way around, when he texts me back nothing happens on my phone. And I do receive messages on my computer with Chrome Hangouts extention, problem exists only on my phone. Anyone experiencing similar problems?
I am having this problem too. Very annoying.
I have the exact issue on a Galaxy S (captivate). Makes the app utterly unusable. Running CyanogenMod 10.1. Hope this gets resolved :<
Same issue on my ATT HTC One using custom rom
Having same problem OK a gsm galaxy nexus...
Same here. In my case, I receive the message if I enter the app. This is not usable! I sent yesterday night a hangout to my brother asking why is he not using hangout with me, and today morning I have seen in desktop chrome hangout that he answered: "because you are not answering"

Uninstall and reinstall fixed it fixed it for me. This was always an issue with Google plus too. These apps don't like being restored from backup
Did you disabled Google Play Services from sending data on the background? I had the same problem, changed that and Hangouts is working again.
Very annoying that Hangout and Google Play Services are using the same configuration.
Hangouts never worked for me... I dont receive messages or calls. I dont know why I have installed it
I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS SOLUTION. JUST SHARING
XDA user Koush has found a solution to using google voice with any messaging app. Here are the steps to take
Beta 2: Google Voice through any messaging app
0) Google Voice must be installed with notifications enabled (for now).
1) Install a recent +CyanogenMod nightly. July 1st or later. You need the SMS middleware patches I put in for PushSMS. (see Gerrit)
2) Push this apk to /system/app: http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/babel-2-signed.apk adb install will not work. The app requires system/signature permissions.
4) Start Babel, choose your Google Voice account. Authorize it.
Fixed since original release:
* Registers with AccessibilityService automatically.
* SMS sent via GV website, etc now sync to the stock messaging store.
* If you're running a +CyanogenMod build from last night, the duplicate GV notifications will be cleared.

What are the chances of getting this to work without using a CM ROM? I use a TW-based ROM on my Galaxy Note 2, and since I am on Sprint, I have completed the Google Voice integration. I sometimes reply to texts using the web interface from my PC, and I'd love to be able to sync my conversations so they appear on my phone as well. I would also love to be able to use Textra or a similar messaging app instead of the boring official Google Voice app. However, since GV doesn't support MMS, could it work so that MMS is sent using the carrier messaging infrastructure?

Voice+ Delayed & Multiple same messages
Anyone having Voice+ delay your messages? Sometimes text messages will come through right away, but most of the time it will take several hours or a reboot to get the messages to retrieve. When it does retrieve them, my phone blows up with messages because I get each message about 4 times. I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing this. It's been hard to find any info since I've been unable to find anyone talking about issues with it.

This does happen to me as well. I haven't found any way to reproduce the issue on demand; it seems completely random whether I receive the messages right away or if there's a delay.
Me too. Today I tried emptying my Google Voice inbox, clearing data for the Google Voice, Voice +, Messaging apps.
Still have problems having messages delivered properly.
I am on the 10/9 nightly 10.2 build.

It started doing this for me as well. I've noticed that I receive messages only if I send one out, and also everything I receive is double. I do get it only once on Google Voice.. If I'm looking at my phone when I receive a text, I see the Google Voice notification, and it never makes it over to the SMS app, until I send an SMS out, then I see the messages.
Same here. Also, sometimes txts will not send from stock (stuck at "sending"), but messages sent from GV app go out instantly.

I'm running Vanir and it appears to be working fine. The only problem is SMS received appears to be coming from a random phone # and not the number it was sent to me from. Anyone else?

Is anyone else having this problem?
I'm only getting very few messages through when people have told me they've text me, I have a few theories as to why this would be happening, but hoping someone has a solution:
As I've come from an iPhone, their phone is still trying to send as an iMessage
Google hangouts doesn't work properly yet
I've just ported over from O2 to Vodafone (serious mistake) which is causing the problem
If it's the latter I'll have to take the problem up with Vodafone, but just wondered if anyone else was getting a similar issue with Hangouts and normal messaging?
Cheers,
Joel
i can assure you it's 99% most likely that it's an imessage issue. i've gone through the hassle of trying to force a sign off of the imessage service and it's a major pita.
you need to get a hold of an iphone, and turn off the imessage service, it should start defaulting to sms on other people's iphones in a few hours/days, but it will immediately start giving your iphone using friends an error that the imessage can not be sent, they can then tell it to send as an sms, or if they have the option to revert to sms when imessage doesn't work it will do it automatically for them.
imessage is such a horrible system, and not being able to manually log out of it is very very annoying

I'm on KK 4.2 and Hangouts continually doesn't save text messages sent to me. An app called Ghostly SMS and Mighty Text will show me a couple messages every so often that never show up in Hangouts. I noticed Hangouts also has an "Import SMS" option in settings but it doesn't resolve the problem. Have you found a fix for this?

I"m having an issue also. i've never had an iphone so i know thats not the problem..
I started noticing that when I send out group messages to my friends.. i get maybe 60 to 70 % of the responses.. I only know because my wife shows me the messages she received and i'm missing several almost consitantly.. it makes me wonder if i'm missing texts that are sent straight to me.
I thought originally it could have been hangouts.. so i switched to 8SMS.. still continued.. now i'm using the Stock AOSP messaging app and still missing texts..
As far as I know i'm not having issues with calls or missing calls..
i'm praying its just a matter of getting this mysterious 4.4.3 update...

Get Ghostly SMS from the Play Store. It captures all of your sms messages so even if Hangouts or any other app misses a message you'll see the notification from Ghostly. I turn off the sound notification in Ghostly, by the way, so my Nexus 5 doesn't get annoying with beeps. The "Move to Inbox" feature doesn't work on KitKat though

My wife had this problem on her N5. Solved it by going to Hangouts>Settings>SMS>"Account to show SMS in". Change it to SMS only account. Click back confirm the missing SMS messages appear. Then go back into Hangouts>Settings>SMS>"Account to show SMS in". Change it back to your gmail account to re-merge the SMS texts with your Hangouts messages.
Anyone else not able to send MMS messages or gifs when connected to WiFi using Google Messages?
I've been using Google Messages and Gboard forever on everyone I've owned but with the S8+, while connected to WiFi, messages just hang. Sent messages always say "sending" and messages sent to me show constantly as downloading. It's not until I toggle WiFi off that the messages come through.

I had a weird issue with Google Messages, when I'd send a screenshot to someone, they said it was perfectly clear. However when I was in the messages thread and clicked on the screenshot it came up very blurry. (Sprint version) The original screenshot in Gallery looked fine and it did on the device receiving the message. Kinda strange.
I use signal and haven't had any issues. You sure it's not google related?
I can't send or receive mms while on WiFi calling. Stock message app or Google s message app. Got a ticket in with t-mobile now. I've gone back to factory twice still not working.
I also have this issue. I can confirm as told by an AT&T rep on the phone that it's a known issue apparently . I was told they were looking into it, but no idea when an actual solution is coming.
Glad I'm not the only one.
Yea , all of us are in the same point. It's an issue with the phone not properly handing off the connection from WiFi to data in order to send the MMS message while you're connected to WiFi. We're all hearing from our carriers it's being investigated so let's hope a patch is due sometime soon?
