[Q] Google Voice? - Xoom Themes and Apps

I can't find Google Voice...I find that odd. Am I misiing something?

Nah man I can't find it either I think hopefully theyll try to make an optimized version, regardless, I'm a little upset

If you try to install it via market.android.com, it says it's an invalid device.

not compatible yet. Should have an update soon. I have found other apps like logmin ignition don't work either. Sure updates will roll out soon

anyone have an idea on timing for google voice? really would love to be able to make a voice call and get sms.
google translate isn't compatible either...not sure why. seems like it should be able to run the phone version just fine.

I suspect that voice calls will not work even when/if we get google voice app in here. Unless google decides to push gtalk direct dialing like on the browser gmail.

I don't think they'll let you make calls from the xoom or any tablet, I think the most they'll do is to let us send text messages over the xoom, just because this is a tablet not a phone, but then you never know...

you already can with skype

Something I thought about was just using the browser to access the google voice webpage, which you can use to text message as well. It does work better when you change the browser userstring to desktop instead of android.

i tried a little while ago to run the latest version and got fc right off the bat. It may be as simple as a slight APK mod. Ill try a few things and report back.

Did you get it working

By using Fring VoIP, SIPGate, and Google Voice I can make VoIP calls with my Xoom. Once you set up Fring with SIPGate, add your SIPGate number to GV. Go to the GV website on your Xoom, lookup a contact can call. It will forward the call to your SIPGate number and ring on the Xoom through Fring. Works great.
Still waiting for an official GV app though.

I've been in touch with team at Google. At first, I was given the following response:
Thanks for your note. At this time, Google Voice is not compatible with the Motorola Xoom, because the Xoom doesn't have the required telephone features.

After replying that I didn't exactly need the telephone features, but rather the SMS and voicemail checking features, I got this back:
At this time, it's not possible to use the Google Voice app on the Xoom, but I will definitely share your feedback with the Google Voice team.

Hope this helps to resolve some of the confusion!

doesn't csipsimple use honeycombs native phone capabilities? If so why can't GV?
Lacking that what about after the 4g upgrade? Will it not have a radio then technically?

I believe the reason there isn't telephone capabilities is that Google isn't interested in creating a full-fledged VoIP solution just yet. You can see they're testing the waters with the VoIP calling in Gmail, but if they were truly dedicated to the concept, they would have added VoIP capabilities to the standard Android app or released SIP information. After all, Gingerbread and the Nexus S have the capabilities to run something like that.

This is a deal breaker for me on the xoom/Honeycomb. iPad has official GVoice app that does sms, missed calls, & voicemail and it has the talkatone app that does GVoice voip calls. You can put away your phone while using your tablet and not miss anything.
If your GV number is set to ring gmail/gtalk will a the gtalk app ring on a xoom?

Instead of Fring I am now using SIPDroid and it works great. Even tethering from my Incredible.

It looks like I'm going to have to put off the Xoom until more features are enabled.

I'm sure google has some clueless employees too, and given that they developed a GV app for the iPad, which also lacks telephone functionality, I'm betting that that's all this is....one of Google's few clueless.

Since you already have the paid version. How well is it integrated ? looks like you still need to go in the app to make outgoing calls via google voice. does it share the contacts from the phone or do you have the transfer your contact book to google voice online ?
Go voice is very nice. But I don't think o can use it as phone Vmail.
Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
Bottom line, you're not going to get google voice integration like it is in Android.
That said, GoVoice is a solid application.
It can access your phone's contact list and from the dialer part of the application and you can choose to text or call the person you selected from your contacts list.
You can also carry on threaded text conversations from your google voice inbox via GoVoice.
The only downside is that you don't get notifications from the App when you get a new SMS or voicemail. You can work around those limitations using google voice settings, though..
i.e. you can have it forward your SMS messages to your actual nuimber and you can reply to texts from the native SMS app and have it come from your google voice number to the recipient and you can have Google sms you or e-mail you when you get a voicemail from somebody.
It's not ideal.. but if you want ideal as far as Google Voice support, Android is the only real answer. Perhaps later the developer will be able to set information for live tiles so you can keep track that way.

Thanks for the detailed answer looking forward to seeing next version from the developers
GoVoice is slow and laggy. No push notification as mentioned. can't make calls out still. I have sent the developer an email stating such. There is a way that he sets up a certain number to use to not be charged the international calls. Not a good work around. I did pay for it.
I hope that Google Voice makes it way to the Marketplace. I use it to dial out to China, El Salvador and Vietnam. Comes in really handy.
GV companion is not in the marketplace. He is currently working on it. I think that will be a better app.

I wish I could say the same thing. But if you look at the preview beta video of the GV companion it has so much more functionality. It has been over 35 days since he has tweeted. I am wondering what is happening with the final WP7. I sent a tweet to him and an email. I hope to hear from him soon.
U can use gvoice as default Vmail! Enter gvoice in phone settings.

[Q] Google Voice Phone Calls on Nook Possible?

Does anyone know how to make a phone call with Google Voice on the Nook? I open up the Phone app, Dial the number and on top it says "Dialing with Google Voice" then I get a error message saying "Mobile Network Not Available" (BTW GV is free for yet another year!) I assume the Nook / Android software is looking for a cellular data network that doesn't exist. Is it possible to make it use WIFI???
I'm sorry if this question has been asked and answered in different forums but I haven't found it anywhere.
Thank you.
well, to answer a simple way...there is no microphone so even if you get it working for voice, you can listen not talk.
the text messaging side works well for me though.
I think the only way is to use a bluetooth microphone / headset
I haven't tried anyway ...

I think you forgot about Bluetooth...But, that still doesn't answer the question on how do you make it make phone calls. I want to make calls with Google Voice just like I do when I go to the website on my desktop. If anyone knows how please share!
Can't do it via the app - it's simply not enabled for SIP calls. It always uses the cellular voice connectivity, even if you tap the "Use Google Voice" option on the prompt.
Have you tried the mobile web interface via the Browser though?
If you were to use bluetooth and do a google voice call in to viop setup that might ring your nook gingerbread has settings to enter a sip account. Id try it up gizmo is no more and dont really need to set up a pbx or whatever the other way to do it

Try sipdroid if stock GB voip settings don't work. Use the GV call back app to get past dialing out fees. Sipgate may still be free.
Use a sipgate account and google voice callback to make calls when i roam on my evo. Not sure if itll work on nook. ill give it a shot if i can find a bluetooth headset to use
Any word on this working? I have been trying allot of things tonight to get this to work in some way
nope even with bluetooth headset working, it does not have a way of receiving the voice signals and channeling it so no phone calls (yet)

Nope...remembered and tossed to the side...no one has a working bluetooth with mic in yet. The nook was never intended for recording at all(which is still stupid in my opinion...voice notes in books would be a KICK ASS feature). Once there is a working mic in on bluetooth, then GV will be the bees knees.

Absolutely. I do it all the time using Google Voice and a WiFi connection. Note that I am running Cyanogenmod from an microSD card at the time. Haven't tried it directly using the rooted nook software.
I use Google Voice for Nookie texting. I do say Bluetooth voice calls over wifi would be slick.

worked fine for me on rooted stock, also.
This is the only way that I have found to currently use Google Voice. I have a grandfathered faves plan with Tmo and have set my Google number as a fave. I can dial any number out from Google Voice, which rings my cell phone. I answer the cell and Google rings the other number, using my cell phone. I can make these calls from the NC, using Dolphin browser. They connect and are very clear. No success using NC browser. Also, no used minutes on my cell phone plan!

You have to set up Google voice using sprint #, then wait 15 mins
Then Google to Google voice on your laptop browser and deactivate your sprint # to go back to your regular Google voice #
Then you should be able to go back to phone and use Google voice only for voicemail

Just install and set up google voice DO NOT INTEGRATE the tick the box for voicemail ONLY if that is all you want to do for now. I was very hesitant to do this and finally did, it works perfectly and you also get free voice mail transcriptions to text as well.

Outside of the GV recommendations given here...
I think you're going to find that the answer is no. The Nexus series on Sprint has the voice mail routed through a different server than regular Sprint phones, and thus renders the Sprint Visual Voicemail app useless. You will find that it will install, and you can open it, but it will find no voice mail from the server.
I wish I had a link to prove this as it comes up often, but either a Sprint Tech or some smart member of this community (or some other android community) explained it all once.
Give Google Voice a shot....

Yes, I ran into these same issues with the Epic and the EVO when using AOSP roms (Cyanogenmod, MIUI, etc). This is probably the same issue on the Nexus S because is uses AOSP firmware. What ends up happening here is that the vm app installs, but it does not configure correctly to download voicemail. The solution I found on another thread worked perfectly on the Epic/EVO, and should work fine on the nexus. If it doesn't, let me know, I'm curious (im on gv so i dont use the app anymore). Here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982966
I was so excited, but I couldn't get it to work. I read, re read, and tried to follow directions, usually very good at it, but couldn't find any of this on Titanium Backup as they kept discussing. I looked through everything, even tried step 10, could not get anything to work after loading the .apk. It kept
trying to verify everything and just had wheels spinning.
It does show an email pack in the notifications, but since I just upgraded from CM7 to 2.3.7, don't know if this is the new notification or part of the visual
voicemail that remains on my phone.
You had my hopes up, good info, but didn't work for me.

Google now texting though Google Voice

Is there a way to text with Google Now through Google Voice? (If you are not familiar with Voice please don't pretend like you are) If you try to use the text command it says texting is not compatible on the device.
I would also be interested if anyone has any information on this. I remember in early ICS, it took a while to get Google Voice implemented as an option for sending text messages.

Interesting option to fall back on.. Have you tested it to see if the OS (and Now) sees it as an actual texting app? I'd still rather it be able to work with the native Voice app.
That's strange. My HTC Legend could distinguish between the stock app and Google Voice when using Voice Actions. It's strange that it wouldn't work now.

It seems more like the N7 version of Now simply doesn't allow texting because it doesn't think it can.

[Q] Mi Mix and Google Voice issue...

I am seeing an issue with my new Mix when trying to place a phone call with the Google Voice app set for GV to make all calls. The animation to go to dialer appears and very quickly you can see the call start to be placed but then it closes and returns you to precious screen.
Anyone else seeing tgs, afraid GV is a must have for me so going to have to eBay the phone (love it otherwise) if no solution. Tried clearing app, reinstalling, and all the settings I can think of but all to no avail.
I have MIUI global v8.0 (8.0.7.0.0 MAHCNDI). Localization set to China, nothing else seems like a better option, so left it but changing didn't make any difference.
same issue mate
Sucks, love the phone but can't give up my Google voice for it. Anyone have an idea for a workaround/fix?

I can verify GV doesn't work on making calls on the EU rom either. Will report back down the road once there are updated weekly EU roms available from MIUI / xiaomi.
I heard someone who did the Hangouts transition say it works for GV calls. I haven't ever done the Hangouts transition simply because it doesn't seem to carry text messages forward and I prefer having them all in on place rather than having old messages in GV app and new ones in Hangouts.

Hey I have a Mate 8 with the same issue (mix on the way tho) and as I was investigating I read somewhere that most Chinese made phones have this issue. The only real workaround is to set gv to ask every time. It sounds annoying at first but it's less annoying then my calls not going thru or people asking what number is this (because they don't recognize my actual cell number). It has something to do with the timing of the handoff from gv to cellular. I have not had any issues once it asks call with/without gv. I would suggest giving this a shot.
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-AL10 using Tapatalk
Curious, never tried the ask every time setting. Things worked fine e if I did the hangouts dial and set Hangouts to get GB calls and texts. On this Mate 9 (Chinese version) it works fine set to make all calls.
Sent from my Huawei Mate 9 using XDA Labs
This bug persists
On both the Chinese ROM and the EU ROM, using GV to make calls causes the dialer/phone app to crash, always. "Ask every time" causes it to crash as well.
I use hangouts to make outgoing calls. Google Voice itself is still capable of forwarding incoming calls to my phone's actual number (one I never use), so the actual phone app accepts any and all incoming calls. However, I have to dial out using Hangouts (kind of annoying).
So now I use hangouts for everything phone-function related on my end, and have the actual contacts app and phone app squirreled away somewhere where it won't accidentally get used (unless I want to). The only downside (I like Hangouts, but that might be a problem for some), is that my outgoing calls use VOIP (data). It's almost a nonissue, but it would be nice if MIUI worked with GV the way American android builds do.
Curiously, yesterday GV make all calls stopped working for me and I had to set to ask every time. Then today ask every time stopped working. I went round and round uninstalling contacts and diapers and hangouts. Finally got it all working setting hangouts dialer as default dialer and GV make every call. Workable, but would prefer regular Google dialer and GV but tried APKs from APK Mirror for last few versions of Google dialer and they won't install, v7 says parse error and v6 says folder expected not found. Ugh. Anyways, at least it is working now.

I finally received my phone and I am seeing the same as you guys, can only make gv calls with hangouts dialer. I'm getting sick of Google's lack of support for GV and am giving real consideration to just porting my number out. Smh I've had gv since it came out.
FYI: If you're using the hangouts dialer then you don't even need the gv app anymore. #ijs

Actually, my understanding is for Hangouts to use Google Voice for calls and/or messages you still need the GV app installed and logged in.
Agree on Google's lack of support. It is platform wide, they just do the in favor and out of favor thing too much. If/when they kill GV I will be killing my g-apps and moving to O365 anyways, only reason I use Google-sphere extensively is GV. Everything else can be gotten elsewhere and is generally better elsewhere at that.

I have Mi Note 2 Global Edition with stock ROM MIUI 8.0.13. Using phone dialer with Voice+ app to initiate call back doesn't work either
Of course I can call using Hangout with data, but I prefer call via cellular tower due to sound quality and price (free incoming call). I have found a workaround:
(1) Open google.com/voice with browser (such as chrome) on the phone. It should be redirected to mobile version.
(2) Specify a callback #
(3) Call a # using the dialer in the browser
After (3), it will initiate a callback to the # in (2)
add me to the club...picked up the Mate 9 yesterday and now, not being able to use GV on the Mate 9 is a show-stopper for me. this is a great phone, but i'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to dependent on my GV number.

sure, glad to help. It should be a VOIP call. You'll note that it says that you're calling from your VOIP number. Check the settings in hangouts on which default number it uses. Also, if you switch over to hangouts for texting, you might notice your contacts not "syncing". That's actually not what's going on, it's just the way the phone is reading the stored numbers. If you have questions, I can put in the steps to get that converted fairly painlessly.
I have other issues w/ google on how it's handling hangouts in the past and future. When they abandoned GV, hangouts was the only place to go for the VOIP #. Messenger, Duo and Allo do not have integration w/ the GV #. Hangouts used to be better. But you don't have a hangouts web portal (only for text and MMS) to put in a phone number and have it call you at your cell or elsewhere. But the GV portal is still available for the time being.

Why not switch to GV in hangouts? It is better in every regard... and you can use the hangouts dialer.
I do to an extent as I have too. But Hangouts is annoying in a few ways, that is why it failed and is being retooled as Enterprise app.
