[Q] Google voice (cannot return calls) - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use Google voice as my voice mail. After changing to cm7 I cannot return calls that come in through Google Voice. Example: Someone calls and leaves a voice mail. I listen to the voice mail then attempt to call them back. When I select menu and call, the phone attempts to dial but never starts to ring. After 30-60 seconds I here busy signals. I can manually type the number into the dialer but this is not ideal. Any idea as to why I cannot press the call button in google voice to call back numbers who left a voice mail message?
Thank you!

Do you get a +1 in front of the number? I had that problem before too and eventually came to an error message. I wish I could recall how I fixed it, but double check that to make sure you're not dialing too much.

The main reason I don't use Google Voice is because it requires a 3G signal in order to place or receive a call, that might be your problem- not sure. Never heard of a Google Voice issue specific to CM7, I think the problem may be in another area- but I'm not sure.

[Q] google voice call routing

So, I'm using Google Voice to talk to a bunch of people via text.. but they don't have my Verizon number. I'm wondering if there is a way to route individual people so that when I call them, they see my Voice number.
I know that I can make it so that my phone asks which I'd like to use for every call I make, but is there a way so that if I call X person it goes through voice, but if I call everyone else in my contact list it goes through my Verizon number.
Thanks!
Yes there is, when you call/recieve a text using your google voice number.. a routing number shows up. This number is unique to everyone. (When you call it briefly shows it at the top of the screen)
Save this number and if you text or call it directly from your cell phone (no google voice) your google voice number will show up. So save this routing number for whoever you want to call with google voice only.

Evo Voicemail setup

Ok before says that there is a thread out there I searched and searched for the answer or something related to my problem.
Quick Reference:
1) Upgraded to KingsRom (latest version)
2) Setup Google Voice mail
3) Not receiving voice mail alerts
4) Want to set the Sprint Visual Voice mail app back up
I had CM7 and I updated to the Kingsrom ( Gingerbread Rom), I had Google Voice as the voice mail in CM7 but had the same problem. Now if someone was to call me I wouldn't get the call but they would be sent to my voice mail. When I log into my Gmail I see the notification that someone left me a VMail, but I don't see it on my phone. So now I want to switch it back to the Visual Voice Mail system and leave as that. I went into the setting for Google Voice and switched it back to my phone but it is still not sending callers to the voicemail. It still goes to the Googlevoice inbox.
Somone please help me figure this out cause I have important calls that I need to respond if they leave a voicemail.
P.S. Also I notice that people call but it doesn't show up as a call, if they leave a message it will show up in the Goggle Voice Inbox.

[Q] Google voicemail question

I have a question about google voicemail. I have finally decided to use it instead of the sprint voicemail. I activated from my browser(voicemail only I didn't integrate google voice) and dialed the long number it told me to dial. I tested it and it works but there are 2 things I noticed about it and I was wondering if there is any way to change them. I set google voice up to notify me via the status bar. When I pull down the notification and tap it, it takes me to the sms app. Is there anyway to change this so that it takes me to the google voice app without making google voice my default sms app? The second thing is that when I dial my voice mail from my phone by either pressing and holding the number 1 on the key pad or saying voicemail on the voice dialer, it calls the sprint voicemail and it tells me welcome to sprint voicemail and that I have not setup my voicemail. Is there anyway to get it to default to dialing my google voicemail instead? I know the google voicemail is working because when I dial my cell phone and it drops into voicemail I hear the greating I recorded. Also if I manually go to the voice app, the voice message is there and I can play it.
You can change what number you dial with 1 in call settings. Google Voice works best with the app.
Turn off text notifications in your Google Voice settings to get rid of the notification problem.

Google Voice ??

Is it possible to get Google Voice setup to handle voicemail? I've spent a while playing around and searching, but can't seem to get this working. I am on the Verizon version, but not sure if that makes a difference.
I can receive calls from someone dialing my GV number, and if they have called that number and leave a voicemail, they get my GV greeting and I get the vm/notification in the Hangouts app, as I expect. However, if someone calls my carrier number and leaves a vm, I cannot get this to go to my GV at all.
I don't remember having to do much of anything to get this set up on my LG G4. Am I missing something easy here?

I haven't had to do this for quite a while, but this is what I used to do to get Google Voice working on my Verizon phone.
If you are having trouble configuring Google Voice as your voicemail service on Verizon you can
make the switch manually by dialing all three of these activation codes:
*71[Your Google Voice number] This turns on Conditional Forwarding, which should transfer
calls to your Google Voice number*when your Verizon phone is busy or unanswered after 3 to 6
rings.
*90[Your Google Voice number] This turns on Busy Transfer, which transfers all calls that
would hear a busy signal to your Google Voice number.
*92[Your Google Voice number] This turns on No Answer Transfer, which transfers all calls
unanswered after 3 to 6 rings to your Google Voice number.
To Deactivate the Call Forwarding, dial *73 [Send]
To Deactivate the Busy Transfer, dial *900 [Send]
To Deactivate the No Answer Transfer, dial *902 [Send]
**** if calls not ringing to phone, uninstall Google voice, Deactivate all, install and setup Google
voice, setup
forwarding again, test calling phone to make sure it rings and Google voicemail works. ***

Thank you, Brokenbit!
*71+GV number did the trick.
I first set all 3 forwardings, and things acted weird. It would forward out to my GV greeting but then cut out part way through. I disabled all and then only enabled using the *71+GV and things are working correctly.

Default dialer and Google Voice do not mingle well

I did a search on the forums and didn't find any relevant threads, so I'm creating this one.
I have my Google Voice app set to show a prompt asking which number I want to use before each call. However, I've noticed that on occasion the call will go through using my carrier line before I even make a selection on the prompt. I tested this further and set Google Voice to always use Google Voice line to make calls, then I made calls to another number I have access to. After several test calls, I found that about half the time, the call still goes through my carrier line. There wasn't any indication on my phone that it was using the carrier line or Google Voice line.
If I use the Google Voice app to make a call, it will always use my Google Voice line, even though it's going through the phone's stock dialer app.
I'm wondering if anyone else has similar issues and what solutions there might be to fix this. I wanted to replace the stock dialer with Google's dialer app and Google Contact app, but it seems that Google's dialer app is not compatible with the Mate SE/7x.
Can anyone think of a solution? I think that by somehow making the stock dialer delay for 2-3 seconds before each call, it would give enough time for Google Voice prompt to show up and freeze the dialer until I make a choice. I'm not sure how to do this, though.
Alternatively, are there any good dialers to replace the stock one?
I am having a similar issue on my Honor 7X and my wife's 6X. GV has been working great for months on both phones. Now (I think we noticed it in late April) when someone calls our Primary Phone # it doesn't get routed to GV Voice Mail, it goes to the Carrier's VM. For my wife, when someone calls her GV # it doesn't ring on her phone and is routed to her carrier VM. When she sets removes her "Linked Number" then calls to her GV # are routed to GVM but do not ring on her phone.
I have tried installing an older version of GV, no luck, and I have since been updated to EMUI 8 (Android 8.0) and I still have the same problem. I'm wondering if it's a carrier issue/change? We use Consumer Cellular (ATT network). When I go into Call Forwarding in Call Options it will not let me set a Call Forwarding number and tells me "Unexpected Network Response."
Hopefully someone will fix this soon. My wife uses her GV# for work.
Having the same issue, it's not consistent, some calls go to gv some to carrier vm...
