Google Voice integration problem

Greetings,
I wanted to see if we could get a response from Verizon on this issue of Google Voice not correctly integrating with the Thunderbolt. I've noticed two main issues with GV for Thunderbolt.
When trying to go through the steps to set up voicemail, using the Android method of sending the text message from the phone does NOT work. You must instead set up the phone on the Google voice website, then do the *71XXX-XXX-XXXX (the X being your area code and phone number) in order for voicemail to be set up.
When dialing a number using the keypad, it will display the google voice local trunk number instead of the number you called. When dialing a contact, it will show the contact name, but it will display the city in which the Google Voice trunk number resides.
HTC/Verizon/Google need to figure this out as it is an integral component to making Android and Google Voice work well together.
Thanks!

Perhaps I haven't explained the situation properly. I agree, number one isn't an issue, as there is a solid workaround, even though it doesn't properaly allow users to set up voicemail. For number 2, it is a real problem that is NOT evident in any of the other Android devices I have tried. I have tried Google Voice integration with the OG Droid, Facsinate, Inspire, Droid 2, Atrix and the Thunderblot. The Thunderbolt is the only one that exhibits this issue. Usually when you dial a number on Android, it will bring up the little bubble window on top with the Google Trunk number and then show the number or contact you were calling once the bubble disappears. The Thunderbolt, while it brings up the bubble window with the Trunk number, it still shows the Trunk number after the bubble disappears in the dialer. This does NOT occur in any of the other devices I have tested. It is a bug.

IPhone Google Voice greeting problem

I use Google Voice for certain business calls. It has a different greeting from my personal greeting. However, GV is intercepting all messages with the GV greeting, even when my personal number is called. Any suggestions for a remedy, please?

Hello.
I'm not sure if your problem has been fixed yet, but I had the same problem until today.
I turned on Hearing Aid Mode in Settings / General / Accessibility / Hearing Aids.
Seemed to fix the problem for me. Hope it helps you.

Verizon Mms support for Google voice

Google voice now supports mms, albeit not in the most graceful fashion. I ported my number to Google voice as I was a user previously when I was a Sprint customer. Sprint had native Google voice integration and it is great! I was simply fed up with their lack of 4g data coverage so I moved to Verizon. I found out after porting my number to Google voice that AT&T and Verizon selectively decline to participate with Google on mms support. Why is this? Are there any plans to change this situation?   If I could switch everyone I knew to hangouts I would it is a great service, but isn't feasible, so I need the ability to receive mms through my Google voice number.

Going to side with Justin here as well (and those of us who have been here for a while know, like ourselves, that he isn't a Verizon employee) ... the issues being described are indicative of a local inside wiring problem (poor cabling, loose connections, unterminated/noise introducing cable outlets, etc.).   Since the TV is indicating problems, it's likely also interfering with the MoCA signal to the modem which would result in internet issues as well.
I can second my experience with Chrome as well ... it works just fine with Verizon webmail. Just tried it again to be sure.
If you are encountering problems, it would be helpful if you could be more specific. I suspect the you have an anti-virus / malware product that is probably set to block certain kinds of traffic (like Javascript, etc.) that is potentially interfering.   The solution in such cases is to whitelist the Verizon site as a known location -- how to do that however is a function of your anti-virus/anti-malware product.
As for cost, I've been a customer for several years now. My rate went up by $10 once in that time and I ended up rebundling my STB's and essentially negating that increase. Compared to my cable provider -- who I continue to evaluate every year for cost/speed (while I like FiOS, I believe in fair competition and the best price / speed will always win my business) -- they are still the best deal for my money (don't get me wrong, cheaper or more bundle optons would be better!). YMMV.

Problem setting up google voice on mt Iphone 4S

Here is my problem, I really hope someone can help!
I'ven been trying to set up Google Voice to my Iphone 4S. I logged into my already exsiting Google account and clicked the link "Get a Voice number". I then chose to "I want a new number" and after searching, finding and accepting a number I'm asked to set up a Voicemail password and accept the Terms and Policys of Google. So far so good. Here is the problem....
The next step in the setup is to add a forwarding phone to the Google Voice. I added my Iphone number (AT&T) and clicked "Continue". I'm now given a two digit vertification code that I'm suppose to enter when Goggle voice call me (the number I entered as a forwarding phone) to varify the number is actually mine. When it does, I enter the code but nothing! The computer voice responds "I'm sorry I didn't catch that". It does this three time before disconnecting.
By now I have tried everything and this is my last hope. I have talk to AT&T, Apple Support and no one could help me. I tried various things posted on the internet but nothing seems to work. There must be people with Iphone 4S that uses Google Voice. Please help me!
Thanks

The verifying message can take longer than usual as it needs to obviously verify.
Sometimes the program can become way-layed and stop working.
A few suggestions i have to make would be:
Click the home button twice, hold down the apps until they shake, and delete the mail and settings applications open.
Then reload the email and try and verify again.
Another suggestion would be to hard reset the phone, which would involve holding the home button and the lock button together which evidently crashes the phone.
That could refresh the data and allow you to access your email.
Similiarly you could set up another email address using the same email operator and see if that works.
If it doesnt, it might be worth trying a different email address e.g. Trying googlemail or hotmail.
Not sure how you set up your email account but try either of these methods.
Go onto settings > Email, contacts and calanders > add account > Choose your email type > enter username and password.
The other way would be to go into the mail app and set your email address and password through that.
If all else fails, try downloading a 3rd party application which can run your email account.
e.g. I have a Googlemail 3rd party application which i find is more accessibly friendly.
Best of luck.

Problem receiving Google Voice forwarded calls

I've used a Google Voice phone no. for several years which forwards to my land line and also my cell phone with no issues. Now, the calls still forward but it only rings once once on my land line and is immediately forwarded to my voice mail (I use the voice mail on my land phone, not Verizon voice mail). Since the call is immediately forwarded to voice mail, it never rings on my cell phone but shows up as a missed call.

Ok let's have a look, but I have two questions first
Is your home phone service with Verizon? If so, do you have your "Do Not Disturb" service activated?

Jabber 9.2 on Windows 8 - Google Calendar integration asking for login after every restart

I am currently testing Jabber 9.2.0, build 496 on Windows 8. Google Calendar integration works, but the user is prompted to re-authenticate after exiting and restarting Jabber.
I have tried running the client in compatibility mode (Windows 7), but no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Solved - running the client as an administrator fixes the problem.

How to sync contacts with Google Voice?

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to the Desktop Software and need a little help. I have had my bb for over 2 years now, but I have never used the DT software for anything but a full back up do a full reset of my phone.
So he is the situation. I just signed up for a Google Voice account and replaced my sprint voicemail with the google voicemail. I want to add all my bb contacts to my gmail/google account but I don't want to do it manually. To sum things up, here are my questions (the ones that I think would solve my problem, but feel free to let me know if I'm venturing down the wrong path at anytime)
1) Is there a way to set the DT software to use Gmail/google as the application for Address Book? Right now I'm just using the Windows 7 Contacts.
2) If I can't use Gmail directly, is there another application that the DT software can link to that will save all the contacts as CSV files, and then I import them to Gmail that way? I believe Windows 7 saves them as a .contact file and Gmail says the format is invalid?
3) How do I add applications to the DT software that are available to sync the organizer data with? Currently the only options I have are Yahoo, Windows 7 Contacts, ASCII, and a 4th that I don't remember at the moment.
The usb port on my phone is going bad, so I have to do a balancing act it the cable in order to get the computer to even recognize that the phone is connected, so I really would like to get all my contacts into my Gmail account in case I have to get a different type of phone.... My patience is running thin waiting on the new Bold LOL
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hey dcdarrencrosby,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
You will not be able to use the BlackBerry Desktop Software to synchronize your contacts from BB to Google.
However if you have a Gmail account added on the BlackBerry, there is a wireless sync option that can bring your contacts over.

Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash wmode transparent based

Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash with wmode transparent set. For that matter all flash text fields in Safari 5.1 are not working accross the web when wmode is set to transparent. This is a Safari bug! Other browsers work fine.
Well after much research Adobe flash text field with wmode transparent set is not working in Safari 5.1 when any flash object has the wmode set to "transparent", or "opaque". The problem is many site must layer flash objects with html so the wmode transparent must be used.
Affecting sites like BEST BUY, WALMART, CVS, STAPLES, Chechout their flash based weekly ads and find one that you need to update the quantity in the flash pop-up and the text field with keyboard strokes will not work. Flash text fields were all working fine until several month ago when Safari rolled out 5.1 working for Google Voice Flash based widget which uses the wmode transparent. HELP!

If not working for you, try clearing your cache to remove any old, non working versions.
Test on some other machine besides yours.
Code looks fine and seems to work.

Google Voice Won't Work With Bluetooth Headset After Jelly Bean

I am SO frustrated. I had no idea I was installing the Jelly Bean update when I updated the software on my phone. Note to Verizon Communications team: PLEASE do a better job of communicating significant software updates. I would not have installed Jelly Bean. I learned long ago to stick with factory OS on my phones.
Since the update, I noticed that I could no longer dictate texts and emails. Also, my call recording app no longer worked. I switched to Swype and it would work for a few minutes and then stop. I could still use my bluetooth headset to make calls and S voice worked (although, like others here, I noticed that it's now worse--it doesn't recognize any contact names I request anymore). After trolling Android forums I found that the problem is with the bluetooth headset. You can still dictate when the phone's bluetooth is on, but when a device is connected, all bets are off.
I almost did a factory reset, but then I read that a hard reset will not restore ICS, nor did it resolve this bluetooth Google Voice issue for the few people who tried it already. In fact, resetting caused more problems (eg., more battery drain and removal of Adobe Flash, etc.).
Does anyone know how I can go back to ICS? Bluetooth and Google Voice are the two features I value most in my phones. This is a NIGHTMARE.

rcschnoor -
The Bluetooth/Voice Search/Dictation issue is a valid issue for the OP, a valid issue for me and oh yeah, the hundreds of other people affected by the, "Google Voice Search stuck on "Initializing" bug filed here on the Google Android Project page. Here is yet another reference to the same issue from Android Central.
The "Google Music freezing after Jelly Bean Update on Galaxy S3" is also a valid and documented bug located here also on the Google Android Project page.
So I ask, how does sharing with these people that do have these issues, and are affected by them, that you are not experiencing these issues help in any way? Isn't that the whole purpose of a community forum to help others?

Google Voice not working. Is the blame with enabling Advanced Calling?

Have any Verizon users had more than the usual amount of trouble setting up Google Voice for voicemail? I previously used Google Voice as my voicemail on my Galaxy Note 4, which required the standard workaround to get it working with Verizon (calling the three codes to setup call forwarding). I recently moved to an LG G3, however, and can't get Google Voice to work as my voicemail now. I have tried calling the three forwarding codes (*71+[Google Voice #], *90+[Google Voice #], *92+[Google Voice #]) but to no avail. I have also tried to get it working via setting up conditional call forwarding online in My Verizon.
After trying and retrying these methods, I will call my phone from another one, only to ignore the incoming call and have the phone I'm calling from either continue to ring or go silent (the latter seems to happen more often). If I do not end the call from the other phone, my phone will sometimes ring again, at which time I ignore the call again the line remains silent.
When I first setup my G3, an update enabling Verizon's Advanced Calling was available and didn't hesitate to follow through with the update. Therefore, it's hard pinpoint the exact problem.
Has anyone else with Verizon had this much difficulty in getting Google Voice to work? Please, help!

Same issue. Google Voice does not work with VoLTE on some people's accounts. Google says it's not them. Verizon says it's not them. There is no fix to this. The only option you have is either dump Google Voice or dump VoLTE. I did the later, but you have to do it on the phone and through the webpage and then set up Google Voice again. From what I can gather from others, call forwarding through VoLTE is not working like it should on all accounts and causing Google Voice not to work. Verizon is less than helpful on this issue.

Safari 6.0.4 Cannot Play Google Voice Voicemails

I've been troubleshooting this problem for far too many hours, and I am at a loss. I've tried everything other than reinstalling the entire system. Instead of doing that, I'm switching to Chrome and posting here in the hopes of finding a better solution.
The problem: Safari will not play google voice embedded audio voicemail files.
The voicemails show up with a play icon and a time; when you click on them, the graphic changse to an audio file progress bar, but the file never plays.
These voicemails WILL play in Chrome and they WILL play in Firefox.
More frustratingly, they will also play on my wife's iMac that is also running all updated software (OS X 10.8.3, Safari 6.0.4, etc.), and on my own iOS devices with Safari.
Background
I'm running 10.8.3 on a 2.7ghz core i5 27" iMac.
I have updated to the newest OS and all software updates.
I'm running the newest version of Flash and Java, and all are functioning properly.
I've uninstalled flip4mac and anything else that I thought might conflict with playing audio files.
I've reset safari numerous times, booted into safe mode, restarted numerous times, emptied every cache under the sun, repaired permissions, run daily/weekly/monthly updatesa in termina, and tried disabling all internet plugins. Nothing works.
Current Understanding/Knowledge/Conclusion
These files are NOT using any plug-ins to play, but are just using standard html5 audio tags. My wife's computer will play the files fine even with the quicktime plug-ins disabled. They DO use javascript to switch to the full audio player progress button, but I don't think javascript has anything to do with playing the actual file. Note: Firefox plays the files differently and it depends on Flash to play them; but I don't think that's the case with Chrome, and both Chrome and Safari are webkit browsers. Safari is unique in being a 64 bit webkit browser, and I'd be willing to chalk this up to it just not working in Safari – but it works just fine on my wife's machine.
Any solutions, ideas, or even troubleshooting tips would be welcome. As I said at the outset, the only next step I can see is reinstalling ML, and I'd rather just switch to Chrome than do that...

Google Voice vs Skype Need to Make Decsion ASAP

I need to make a decsion on if I should use google voice for my new business or skype. The lack of ability to talk directly with a human about my questions is also frustrating. i need to order business cards and finish print materials asap so someone please answer quickly. Why should I choose skype over Google Voice when one is free and the other isnt.

Solo una cosa. GV è un numero MOBILE tipo mentre Skype-in è un numero di tipo fisso. Alcuni paesi non consentono l'ID chiamante per il tuo numero Skype-in - si richiede di portarlo a un numero di cellulare. Questo problema non è nel GV - ed è oggetto di molte discussioni denuncia su Skype-in Google "ID chiamante Skype-in" e troverete i thread.
Courtesy of Google Translate:
Just one thing. GV is a number such as Skype MOBILE-in is a number of fixed type. Some countries do not allow the caller ID for your Skype-in number - are required to take it to a mobile phone number. This problem is not in the GV - and is the subject of much discussion on complaint Skype-in Google "Caller ID Skype-in" and find the thread.

Google Voice Search app stopped working

Anyone else seeing this problem: Google Voice Search stopped working. The new Google app that allows voice recognition searches starts up then ends and sends me back to home screen. It was working fine yesterday.
Everything else works.
Shame it was pretty nice. Guess I'll dump it and re-load it.

ISight conflict when installing Google Voice and Video driver

After installing Google Voice and Video driver, the iSight stops working on Flash based applications or websites.
Two camera drivers are installed: Google camera 0 and Google camera 1.
Even if I go to Settings and choose the correct driver (iSight Integrated), it does't works.
The only way I found to solve this issue is removing those Google's drivers (Library/Application Support/Google/GoogleVoiceAndVideoUnistaller).
However, this is not a solution since I can't use GTalk anymore.
Does Flash Player 10.2 fixes this conflict?

Flávio Mikami

Sorry for not using the search, I see it's available in AUR... http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36308
Now trying to install from there!
