I am setting up both my and my wife''s phone on Google voice. This is what I am running into:
setup
Both phones set to use Google Voice for calling and voice mail
Both phones do have the Google Voice number in the address book for each other.
The Issues
The scenario for these is letting it go to voice mail.
Sometimes on the calling phone, I do not hear a ring from the other phone, and nothing from the answering voice mail either. If I hold on for a bit listening, finally hang up, then the phone called will get a blank voice mail. The phone I am calling from continues to say 'Dialing' until I hang up. This seems to be happening on only one of the phones. (May find otherwise with more testing).
On the phone being called, when I try to use the slide up to have it send a message when rejecting a call, (for example "Sorry, will call you back",) the message is never received on the other end. Of course I would expect that message to go to Google Voice. Is that set to use SMS only? (I do not have SMS service). This happens no matter which phone is calling the other. Never is the message received. I have not tested it with a phone calling that in fact has SMS capability.
Any thoughts?

Every time my wife calls she says she can't hear me for perhaps 2-3 seconds after I think the call has connected.. My previous phone did not do this, but the Nexus One does.
Anyone heard of this, and have any suggestions? I have Google Voice call on by default, but she's calling my cell number so I don't think it'd affect anything. As far as I can tell, the call is connected, but she can't hear me say anything for several seconds. I usually wind up going "Hello? Hello? Hello?" and she finally answers.
Glad to see I am not the only one this happens to..well not glad but i just hope this means its not just my phone.
I know when they call one of my numbers (either Google Voice or Cell Phone # not sure which) it says incoming call from <Name> press 1 to answer and press 2 to send to voicemail
@sandtiger
this is from google voice it is a filter setting you can change by going to to the setting on the google voice website.
But this is a different issue (im assuming) then the OP

Yeah, I think I muddied the waters mentioning Google Voice, but these are calls directly to me cell number..
I might try disabling Google Voice just for S&G just to see what happens.. Seems when I place calls, they're connected when I expect them to be, but the delay could be more critical when answering.
I haven't yet, but going to try calling myself from my work phone to see what kind of delay I'm hearing.
I am having this problem also...did you ever find a solution?
Using BT headset by any chance?
In that case, it's normal.
Nope, no headset. Just the phone.
I need to test some more, but I think this has gone away for me.. Delay answering, plus the other party was "dropping out" often, ie: if it got quiet on their end, their voice disappeared entirely, and sometimes faded in or out while doing so.
Only thing I've changed is I disabled Google Voice as being my default call method, but this thread is about answering calls so I doubt it matters, especially since the calls were directly to my cell number not my GV number.
I might turn GV back on the way I had it and test some more, but maybe it was something weird with AT&T?
Im noticing this problem too, both on 2.1 and 2.2.
It seems to be a problem specific to AT&T N1's.
I also experience this. I've adjusted to swiping the answer button, pausing, then saying "Hello." I typically pause about 0.75 or 1 full second, and rarely do I need to do it longer.
The opposite seems to be true of the vibrate-on-connect feature: about 1 second after the person picks up, then the phone vibrates in my hand. How is that useful?! =P
I am running Darch's 2.2, with Sprint, and when I set my voice mail to go through google voice, it doesn't work. My phone rings, but instead of going to voice mail, it says my numbers been disconnected or no longer in service.
Dial *38 and wait until your phone hangs up.
Dial *28XXXXXXXXXX (where the Xs are your Google Voice number) and wait until your phone hangs up.
Try leaving yourself a voicemail again.
Thank you, I had re-flashed and forgot to activate it on my phone.
/*facepalm*/
No need for a facepalm, dude. I'm batting about 50% myself.
I have an alert that I randomly got (no missed calls or anything) that says new voicemail. My phone is set to use google voicemail via google voice.
The thing is, is tht when I click the notification, it calls my google voice number, and I have no voicemails. I also checked the online client, same thing.
I also switched back to regular voicemail to see if maybe that was the case, but even after disabling google voicemail (#004#) going to voicemail calls google voice still.
Any ideas?
I'd also like to mention that the notification says
New voicemail
Dial (google voice number)
I've flashed several roms and it still appears.
It's extremely annoying..
Bump
I've posted this on several different forums with little responses and no solutions.
Moto assist doesn't seem to work correctly with Google voice, or at least I can't get it working. I mostly want it to read my text messages to me when I'm driving, but it only seems to work with my carrier number (which nobody knows because I have used my Google voice number for so long). Of course other features would be nice to get working too, but that is the main one I want. Does anyone know how to make this work?
I use GV also and have the same thing that you do
You now just say "what's up"
Does the reading of texts while driving work with hangout messages?
I really hope they fully integrate it with Google Voice. Actually the deciding factor for getting this phone was the fact that it reads text messages to you while driving (my friend's car does it and it's pretty cool, my car just has the standard hone call bluetooth). I'll try the "what's up" method and see if that works...still not as convenient as it auto reading to me though.
My experience today was my Moto X answering my call while driving and I didn't hear the phone ring or prompt me it was a incoming call. The screen also didn't respond once I got home until I plugged it in and unplugged it again. It showed the battery 44% when the screen came back on.

I'm so glad at least a couple other people have the same issue I have. For so many people who own a Moto X + use Google Voice and now that it's all integrated I can't understand why so many people (including media sites) aren't complaining about this - especially with the new Moto X raving reviews.
I'll try to use the "what's up" method but it seems very silly to me.
Cheers
Does not work with Hangout messages either

I too hae the same problem as the OP.
While in "Talk to Me" mode my moto will verbally announce incomming phone calls, and incomming SMS to my carrier phone number.
The following do NOT result in moto voice verbally announcing (I only get the notification on the lock screen):
- SMS to my GV number.
- MMS (photo with caption) message to my carrier number.
- MMS (text to multiple recipients) message to my carrier number.
- Hangout messages.
Ok, so the photo... not sure how it should best handle that. But the others, I believe it should announce the same as SMS to the carrier phone number.
I've had my Urbane for a day and notice that if I reject a call on the watch, it attempts to send the call to my AT&T voicemail - which I don't use. When I reject the call on my phone, it goes to Google Voice - which is where I want it to go.
Anyone noticed this and/or have a fix?
(Using LG G3 w/Lollipop)
Thanks!
PROBLEM SOLVED.
This all started within 24 hours of getting the watch and started when I rejected a call from the watch so I assumed it was the watch.
I tried to adjust settings in my phone but the forwarding options were greyed out. So, I broke down and called AT&T. It was a setting on their end.
The agent said he needed to add "Google voice mail box number to Busy in CF & LCS" call forwarding.
All fixed. Hope that helps someone else.
