Can anyone tell me how to disable Googlevoice from updating in background
i disabled the sync in background but it still does it, the only way to disable it is if i disable background sync for everything but then that keeps me from using the market, i asked this elsewhere but no one seems to be able to answer it

I'm unaware of a way to disable Google Voice sync. It should initially sync after install within a matter of seconds. You mean you don't want to be notified of any new texts or voicemails? I don't see why you would want that, but you may just have to uninstall the application to avoid that, not entirely sure.

Google Voice...

I just got invited by someone on the developer forum (thanks Sham!) I like switching up roms a lot and I was wondering, if I do a full wipe, will that affect anything for GV? I know I had to do a lot of set up stuff and I just want to make sure I won't have to repeat too many processes when I install a full rom.
Thanks!
After a flash, all you'll have to do is install GV and complete the basic setup (use your ***@gmail.com account? Use for voice calls? etc.) Literally a 10 second process, done it a bunch of times.
I'm not even currently using the GV app, it just texts my SMS when theres a new VM.
Then you are only using like 10% of the functionality of GV.
The part of Google Voice you're talking about doesn't have anything to do with the ROM, just an application if you have it installed.
What more could I want other than speech to text translation?

Push Notifications for Google Voice on Market!

New update for google voice!! It includes (I think) push notification for text messages!
Yeah it does. Read more here: http://googlevoiceblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/faster-google-voice-experience-on.html
Yep, sure looks that way. I wonder if it's necessary to put Google Voice on ignore list for task killer apps though.

Yes it is. If you kill the GV process, you won't receive notifications.
Advanced Task Manager has "Apps", "Services", "All Apps", and "System". I think it's OK to kill it from "Apps", but not the other tabs.
I don't seem to get push notifications on my voicemail. I haven't check with texts yet....
hooray!!!!

You may have already done this, but it case you haven't, there's a new setting that has to be enabled for the instant notifications to work.

I did have that enabled. I had to reboot and then the notifications seemed to work better.
I can't sign in with the new app! Ugh

Same here. I had to go to my backup file in oder to use it. Thank Goodness for Back-Ups
Same here. I was, however, able to sign in after selecting "sign in using a different account" and using my same account info.
I love this update because of the sync with inbox. When I first finished installing the update I couldn't send a sms or do the sync so I just rebooted, ran fix_permissions, and that fixed everything!
The google blog post said the inbox syncing would stop the forwarding of a google voice SMS to the phone's regular SMS number. That is NOT the case for me. I'm still getting google voice SMS'es forwarded to my cell's number. This double text receiving is the single greatest aggravation of google voice texting.

That worked....but the weird thing is I don't have inbox sync as a new option. I still have the refresh option, but it says that it's the new version. I'll try to uninstall and reboot.
edit: Still no new options.
Guys, am I alone in this? The new Voice app is not syncing/pushing texts for me, nor is it not forwarding. It's behaving like the old one.

Why even whine about this? Just go to the website and uncheck forwarding.

I'm in the same boat as you. It's acting like the old one, settings and all.

You don't understand how Voice forwarding works. The "forwarding" setting on the Voice website is for additional forwarding of a text to an email address. Voice by default has always forwarded to the cell phone number associated with the Voice account. That was supposed to end with this update.
The Google blog post says the following:
"...feature called Inbox synchronization, which will notify your Android-powered device of new text messages or voicemails within seconds of receiving new messages..."
and
"Plus, Google Voice will automatically disable SMS forwarding to your mobile phone, so you won’t receive duplicate notifications."
It's odd to me that both these features do not work. Maybe we can figure out something by discussing.
btw, why is this whining? We're discussing an app and its features. We're trying to get this working and comparing notes with others. I don't whine... ever. We're blessed to have such amazing phones and software to begin with.

For GV, you can go to google.com/voice in your browser, it works the same way
Not sure about the other question
If you have your phone configured to forward to google voice, then its impossible for you to get actual phone voicemails so I dont see your use case. I really wouldn't mess with that voicemail apk either. If anything you can freeze it in Titanium backup if you dont like the fact that it runs in the background, but it will probably break other parts of the system.
ive ran without the vm apk before, it works fine. the only thing that doesnt, is notifications. when im left a vm without the app installed- i am not notified.
if im setup to forward unanswered calls to google voicemail, is there any way to retreive the voice messages on google voice with my handset, without the google voice app?

while i appreciate your efforts, as far as im concerned you keep posting lateral solutions. the google voice site on the browser kinda sucks. im given an option to download the file to the sd card...
ultimately the goal is to remove sprintcore while still being notified of the voicemail that is left. i wouldnt want to remove something just to have to add something to do the job.
thank you thank you
You can always use google voice to send you an email/text when you have a message, and check it the old fashioned way (by dialing in).

**NOTIFICATIONS** - How Do You Get Them To Work All The Time?

I really think my X527 (now running 21s and showing as X526) is a well made phone for the money but the lack of notifications is getting old now.
I've followed various guides but still fail to get notifications for emails in particular.
Yahoo mail never gets notifications at all.
Whatsapp seems to be the most reliable, followed by Facebook Messenger.
Between the extremes of WhatsApp and Yahoo Mail it's hit or miss.
Any recommendations?
Nobody cares about notifications or have simply acclimatised to not needing them then?
same problem

Try to whitelist the app from being cleared from memory. I made a post to that effect here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78137018&postcount=1027
Also, find the setting to allow apps to automatically start at boot and add the app to autostart list.
I'll try
I followed many guides but none worked
do you get notifications after a long period of inactivity?
Go to the phone manager app and exclude the required apps from battery optimisation
no changes
Go to permission, app auto launch and include the required apps

Android Messages RCS not working

Hello,
Has anyone swapped to the Google Messages/Android Messages app over the stock Samsung messages app on the S10/S10+ and been able to get RCS working?
I came from a Pixel 3 XL and enjoy the Android Messages app over the Samsung app even with the OneUI overhaul, but I cannot get RCS/Chat working - it is not even visible in advanced settings. If I swap to the Samsung app it sends RCS messages no problem, swap back to Android messages it goes back to SMS/MMS only. I also installed Google Carrier services thinking maybe it needed that to trigger it but nothing, looks like the Carrier services app also does not get triggered to actually provision anything even with it installed.
Would love to hear if anyone has this working
Same issue here. I prefer Android messages since I get a lot of verification codes texted to me and Android messages has a quick copy code option. On TMobile. Rcs works fine on Samsung message app.

I am using T-Mobile and I have not yet had RCS support(waiting for it), but I want to ask, how did you install Google Messages app on your new Samsung phone? Did you transfer your info including apps using Samsung Switch app? If yes, some apps may not have transferred correctly, so I would uninstall them, then reinstall or just try clearing data of that app.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Google Messages a few times, still does not resolve, even installed Google Carrier Services to attempt to fix. Really odd if you cant use a different message client with the same tech.
beep boop
Right now its only supported on the stock Samsung messaging app.

"Messages" is a public app that Google has on the Play Store (just search for 'Messages' and make sure you get the one from Google LLC), and anyone with an Android phone can download it. It's a drop-in SMS/MMS replacement for OEM (or carrier) apps for SMS/MMS.... it also supports RCS, but not on every phone.

And it looks like it may stay that way for a while: For RCS to be shared between apps, the way SMS/MMS are, Google needs to build an API so that different apps could access the same data. It LOOKED like htye were going to do that, but then 9to5Google and others reported that the code was hidden and commented out in the Android Q preview, with comments suggesting that it wouldn't be available till Android R. Lord knows why it's taking Google this many hears to get down basic functionality on something as important as messaging... they've been pushing their RCS Universal Profile since 2016, so it seems ridiculous that it'll be 2020 (for Android R) before they release an API baked into Android for it.
Textra is still my favorite SMS app. I wish Messages and Samsung Messages would implement their quick reply features
It works for me sending messages to my parents who are on Sprint with me using the Google Messages app. I'm pretty sure they are using the default Samsung messages app but I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
Not exactly the same but worth a mention...Verzion S10- has Real Time Text (RTT) working..you enable this from the stock phone dialer screen, three dots at the top right for Settings > Real Time Text. You can set it to always on and you'll get the additional option to send an RTT type message call whenever you click a contact.
