[Q] Mi Mix and Google Voice issue... - Xiaomi Mi MIX Questions & Answers

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.

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.

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 had actually uninstalled the GV app a few hours before we were talking about this, been working fine for a few days now.
I still don't like being locked into the hangouts app exclusively tho but hey it works ?.

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.

I "migrated" over to Google Hangouts for my GV #. I've downloaded Hangouts dialer app and it's linked to the GV #. I'm able to call from the Hangouts dialer no problems.

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.

thanks again for your feedback. i've been using Hangouts for everything that it can be used for except Hangouts dialer. now that i have this workaround, the Mate 9 will be my daily driver for the next 2 weeks. the least of my concerns will be battery life. appreciate your replies to my slightly off topic questions,

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.

There's two Google Voice apps on the marketplace that I've seen - GoVoce (£2.49) and GV Companion (£Free)

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.

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:

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.

[Guide] Free wifi phone the easy way. US

Holy crap that other thread about making your Nexus 7 a free WiFi Phone was complex!
Here is the ubereasy way.
Step 1: Sign up for Google voice account for free
Step 2: Make calls directly from gmail inbox in a browser or from https://www.google.com/voice/m in a browser.
Step 2 alternate: Download Talkatone from the Play store, sign in with your Google account.
Step 3: Make phone calls, for free. Receive phone calls, for free. Texts too.
You can also use Talkatone to send to facebook and include Google chat for texting/chat.
I also recommend Google voice extension for Chrome on PC (requires Google talk and video app download. Attempt to call from gmail inbox and you'll be prompted to download it.)
There was some reason I didn't use this in the past, and ended up buying GrooveIP instead.. can't recall why though
I use an app called spare phone. had less echo than groove when I tested them both.
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk 2
Both sparephone and grooveip work GREAT! However, neither is FREE. You'll note that keyword in the Guide title. Talkatone actually is free and works great 99%+ of the time.
I have the gvoice app and can send text messages from it, I have it set to direct calls to my cellphone and to my gmail.
Whenever I have tried to do a call from it and direct to my gmail on my n7 nothing happens, I must be doing it wrong.
This is a lot easier.... The problem being that if you use the apps where you directly sign into Gmail, you will never receive calls in your browser on your computer. They will route to your tablet instead.
My method is a touch more complicated, but it preserves the Gmail soft phone, and provides a (significantly) higher call quality.
But your way is a lot easier...

You're right - if talkatone is running on Nexus 7, Google voice won't ring to a browser session.
I will say that I've had little to no call quality issues that anyone has told me about, with as little as 5% wifi signal (per elixir widget 2 wifi signal quality applet). I have been primarily using this method for telephony for 3 weeks or so.

As noted, gvoice app is not enough. On your Nexus 7 it will only be texting. You need to have a softphone provider as well to call. Talkatone is free and pretty good, grooveip is great but costs, sparephone is pretty good and also costs.

Google Voice Question.

I put my sprint number as my Google voice number. Does the stock messaging app still work? Should I disable it and use Google Voice? What about making calls from the Google Voice icon? Is that possible or do I need to use the normal phone icon?

I'm a Sprint Product Ambassador supporting the launch of the One.
The stock messaging app will reflect what is in your GV inbox. I recommend using the GV app itself wherever possible for the bext experience.
I don't see a dialer in the GV icon, I use GV to make all calls and just use the native dialer.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

This couldn't be further from the truth. I don't know of any advantage to use the GV app on a sprint phone (save for going through old texts that may be gone from phone). The beauty of Sprint and Google Voice is the fact that you can use all the native apps without having to deal with the GV app at all.
Having to wait for the google voice app to load the data from your google voice account via Sprint's data connection is just not efficient. Which also means its not even possible to send a text through the google voice app(or load it) without a data connection. Texts can be sent with no mobile data turned on.
Just setup the Sprint/Google Voice integration in settings at google.com/voice.

I never said it was a requirement. I use GV across multiple devices and have better luck with the GV app for messaging than the native app. You'll have to find out what works best for you.

Advantage to using the GV App: Messaging sync'd across multiple devices/screens. Easy to read conversations on your home PC, etc.
Advantage to using the stock messaging app: The ability to read/write MMS. These aren't directly supported by GV last I looked.

The OP's question was whether the stock messaging client worked and if he should disable it to use google voice. Not whether he could sync his google voice messages across devices and how it looked on his computer.
Using the stock messaging app to send through google voice doesn't change how it looks on his PC and whether his messages sent via stock app show up on his PC. They will always show up through the google voice app or google voice website.
I do agree though there are advantages to both. I use both apps for different purposes. I just find the GUI and notifications of the stock app(and GoSMS popups) to be far more informative than having to load up a program that has to connect to the internet and load before I can read or send a message. To each their own.

My experience was different when using my Epic 4G Touch. Messages that I sent using the stock app there were not sync'd across my google voice account. Only the received messages were shown everywhere. If that experience is different on other devices or I set it up improperly, I apologize. I also can't speak towards any experience with the GoSMS app.
If you initiaite an SMS session first from the GV app and you get a reply (assuming you have it in GV Settings to also receive messages to stock Messaging app), any messages you send and receive henceforth from the stock Messaging app will show up (synced) in the GV app.
I do this all the time. Why? Because the GV app is slow to refresh most times, Sprint's 3G speeds are not that great where i am so i am usually waiting for GV to refresh, and once i've gotten a reply i'm just using regular SMS really over the 1x network and still everything gets synced to my GV account.

Hangouts Dialer App + Google Voice

Just in case you don't know...the new Hangouts Dialer app is out and if you've enabled Google Voice on your Sprint account...VOILA!! WIFI calling.
Just tried on my Nexus 7 and it works great. Calls going to my Sprint number are routed to the tablet also. If I don't have data but still have service (Wild and Wonderful West Virginia)...the calls still go to my phone.
Ok so a little update...
I received the message to allow hangouts to basically replace the google voice app. Hangouts is faster than the gvoice app every was..which is good. Also consumes less battery.
However, if I don't have data or WiFi I can't send texts from hangouts even though it's my default app for messaging. If I don't have data I have to use the stock messenger. Which isn't exactly a problem...just wanted to state the fact.
Texts and calls work on my nexus 7. Voice quality seems fine even tho I have DSL at home.

Under settings>SMS and settings>[your email here] you can control whether texts are sent from gvoice or your regular phone number [emoji106]
Every time I make outgoing calls on my tablet, the caller ID shows up as unknown. Also, how can I send sms through tablets?
Settings, email, and then look under Google Voice section to enable messages.
My caller ID is working just fine from my tablet. I'm sure there's going to be kinks that need worked out. I've had random issues with GV for years lol
