recently, my google voice app has been showing missed calls when i open the app. i don't need to see it in google voice since it shows in my call log. all i want google voice to show is my voicemails. can i turn off what labels get synced, or just turn off the option. i can't find it in settings. it wasn't doing this before so i'm not sure if a recent update started this.
does anyone know how to do this?
I think u can change it in GVoice settings thru web browser, I've actually changed it before to show those missed calls.

??? its sunder settings/calls
Missed Calls
Place missed calls in the inbox
Send missed calls to my email
the thing is i already checked the browser setting and to place missed calls in the inbox is not selected, yet it's still doing it.
My Samsung skyrocket is doing this same thing and its driving me NUTS! Any solutions yet?
Ive got this problem too and tried to fix via the web interface -- didn't work. The best work around is to go to labels and select inbox and the messages go away. Quite annoying for sure.
i tried to disable the messages label, but i can't find how to do that. i don't want to be selecting the label everytime. that's even more annoying.
anyone know how to fix this

So I've integrated my Sprint Number with Google Voice - Cool. I like it. Mostly it's awesome to be able to sit at my computer and text\call people from a number they actually recognize. And being a flash addict, and yet someone who also wants to keep ALL my texts, it is quite useful.
Anyways when I first integrated, every incoming text would give me two notifications, one from Voice and one from default SMS app. I did something - changed a setting - I'm not sure, probably on the desktop side of things, but now I'm only receiving texts in Voice. They aren't showing up at all in my SMS app. Can someone help a noob out? I appreciate it!
I haven't used the integration, but what if you try to re-set it up and disable the text feature?

Sigh One day I'll learn to think outside the box! I have to wait 15 minutes after disabling to enable, but I'll let you know if it worked. It may not, because the settings may be stored server side and kept regardless of disabling, but I will soon see. Thanks.
So, messages are now showing up in SMS app again, so thats good, but I'm getting the double notifications again. Does anyone know how to disable text notifications for Voice? Also, I told voice that I wanted to route all calls through it - I've changed my mind haha. How do I change that setting?

Well for google voice, I don't know how to, since I don't use the text feature, but in chomp, you can simply go to the notification settings and disable them, and you'll only see them on chomp.

to disable text notifications, you will also have to disable voicemail notifications. just enable text/email notification for voicemail
I think it had something to do with Spring and google because same thing happened with me i still get picture mail on stock messenger and i can still send out once but none come in Sprint is maing out on that deal they are not getting any text data on are accounts

Ahhh. Well thats not clear in the least bit. If the notification feature is tied to both voicemail and text they should label it as such. But still thats an annoyingly stupid limitation. Surely they understand why someone, and I would guess most people, would like a voicemail notification, but not two sms notifications. /rant
Anyways, thanks for the help! Also for my other little problem about setting up all calls through gVoice, I just happened to stumble on a widget that switched that... still don't know where the setting to change it is though.
Voice took over everything and i didnt like it. I didnt even want voice to do it, but somehow it did. The only way i could figure out how to get back the option of what number to dial out from (google or cell) was to find older version of voice and install.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.instal new update 1.2t with new apps
2.set up gogle voice for voice mail
I update and flashed decks 1.2t i updated my ratios to the latest started using goggle voice as a voice mail default sign out google voice and then i start having issues not getting text messages and i am able to send them but i cant receive them also noticed an annoying call setting when recieving calls it asks to press 1 to recieve call or 2 to voicemail i tried wiping everything several times and reflashing already 5 times even went back to 1.0 i even try used vr superwipe and try other roms still issue idk what can i do i would highly appreciate your input
Which phone and version are you using?
htc evo 0003
1.2t
latest ratios
I noticed that i could log into goggle voice and get my text messages but i would rather not used it anymore and i cant figure out that answering system thanks guys i would highly apreciate your help
I had the same issue. Went you integrate Google Voice it will automatically intercept your sms, along with calls. If you use a computer and go to Google and sign into Voice you will be able to modify your settings there. That or download the Google Voice app, sign in and sign out. That allowed me to use the native sms app
I tried signing in and out of the app but still doesn't do it anytime someone calls me I slide screen to answer then voice setting ask to press the #1key to answer or#2 to voicemailthis setting is really annoying I can't get rid of it
I've searched the forums for a while now and I'm not really finding the answer to my question.
Once it became available I did the whole 'Google Voice Enabled' to my number so everything will go to my google voice number. Everything is working fine except texting.
The main reason why I 'enabled' is so I wouldn't have to deal with two numbers (for SMS and MMS) and so I can use the regular texting app. In the app AND within the Google Voice website I have 'notify through text' option checked. Everything works fine but out of the blue it will up and stop working and NOTHING I can do will make it start again (even though at random times it'll start working again).
I hate the Voice app and had to uninstall it because, once again, no matter what I would do it wouldn't stop notifying me through the voice app AND the stock/handcent app.
Am I doing something wrong or is this something extremely frustrating happening to others?
Recap: I want to use my Google Voice number, no problems with the phone itself, no signal problems. Thanks!
Open google voice push menu then setings then sync and notifications. Then uncheck notifications via text message. After you do that you will get your notifications only through google voice unless its a multimedia message then its sent too the stock msg app
This morning everything was fine. I was able to receive voice mail's via Google Voice and text through the stock messenger app (on CM7 nightly)
I went ahead and installed Deck's ROM and instead of restoring Google Voice via MyBackup Pro I just installed it fresh from the Market. This is where the trouble began. Fast forward...I restore my Nandroid of CM7 nightly (where i previously had NO problems) and this is what is happening:
1. Text are only coming through the Google Voice app...I can send text through the stock messaging app but cannot receive them.
2. When I pick up a phone call I now get a message stating I should press (1) to take the call or (2) to send it to voicemail!
This is driving me INSANE!!! I have a feeling that this new Google Voice integration with Sprint is what the problem is. I have no idea how to fix the problems listed above...please help!
Ok. I went to google.com/voice and logged in to access some options that aren't available through the APP. I was able to disable the "Call Screening" So now phone calls are received as normal.
However, I still can't figure out how to stop this POS Google Voice from messing with my text messages. Now when I get a text I get only a google voice notification and no stock messenger app notification. this is retarded!
In the Google Voice settings you have to check the option to receive text messages on this phone. If you have that and inbox sync turned on you will get text messages in both the messaging app and GV. It's annoying but it does work.
my only fix for this was to disable inbox sync, but have voice send me texts when i get a new voice mail. its so super annoying...

There is a workaround. Just figured it out so thought i would share.
Go to phone (first tab in voice settings) > edit settings > very bottom - check you would like to receive text messages on this phone & save settings.
Problem should be solved.
Hope this helped
Yep, you have to edit the settings for your phone, when it shows what numbers you have under your account.

Dude, I had this same issue, yes you can disable the pressing 1 option, but i disabled google voice about 50x on my phone, and i did about 5 factory resets, called sprint 5 different times talked to 10 different reps.. I literally tried everything for over a month to fix my texting issue, If i didn't use google voice i couldn't receive a text on my phone.. Sprint literally suggested that i just get a new insurance phone and that they would waive my $100 fee, which i wound up having to do... If you are unable to get text messages on your native app there is NO fix for it.. Don't waste your time trying.. I literally spent hours a day for a month uninstalling and reinstalling google voice, factory resetting, downloading every messaging app, reinstalling the messaging apk's.. Having sprint change my number and reset my phone.. There is nothing you can do.. The only way to fix it is to get a new phone.. Which unfortunately causes you to lose root.. Just giving you the heads up.. I'm in no way a noob and i'm extremely good with my EVO.. I'm rooted and have ran basically every ROM out there, and I've made 100 posts on google voice forums and on XDA and even called every rep at sprint to try and fix it.. To this day i've read this happening to probably over 50 people and Not a single one of them ever found a fix, and ever single post i read the original poster said they had to get a new phone to fix it.. and i'm just another number on that list, as i now have a 2.3.3 unrooted evo because of this= / Sorry man.. stay away from google voice.. They offer 0 tech support or live help and there is no fix for this issue as of yet.
Everyone will tell you, just go to google.com/voice and click 'disable' under the gear in the top right hand corner.. But i did this literally over 50 times and i would install and uninstall google voice over and over and over, and nothing i did would fix my texting issue.. You can try.. but i'm telling you it's not going to fix it.. Even a factory reset and not logging into my google account wouldn't fix it.. I have no idea what causes it, but somehow it permanently blocks your ability to receive text messages without their google voice app.
i am also having the same problem. after installing google voice to recieve voice messages on my sprint htc evo i no longer recieve text through my stock messenger. ive called sprint 4 times and been through the steps (resetting my phone, taking the battery out, factory reset,etc) but i still cant recieve text.
ive tried changing the options through the gv browser, nothing! is there no way to fix this??
I'm in the same boat. I rooted, flashed a couple find and somewhere in between I wasn't getting text messages or voicemails. I unrooted, factory reset and it was the same. I finally went in to Google voice and made the settings so I can now recieve both cm and texts but even with the Google voice app on my phone telling me that I should be recieving texts through the native app I don't. Not sure if this is a root users problem only or for stock users that never rooted their phone.

Oh and I'm picking up a replacement EVO today to "fix" the problem. I guess ill root it nandroid backup first thing and try a Rom out. Wonder if 3.0-3.5 sense roms are breaking it.

Interesting. I had the same issue, and just as I was at wits end, and changing/editing all settings I got it to work. To review my settings:
Phones Tab:
Google Voice Number: (my cell #)
Forward Calls to: box checked - (my cell #)
- receive texts at this phone (box checked)
- Notify me of new voicemails via text (box not checked)
Google Chat (box not checked)
Voicemail & Text Tab
- Email the message to (my e-mail address) (box checked)
- Forward text messages to my emailmy email address) (box not checked)
- Transcribe Voicemails (box checked)
Calls Tab
- Call Screening (off)
- Caller ID (incoming) Display Caller's Number
- Enable "Do Not Disturb" (box not checked)
- Place missed calls in the inbox(box not checked)
- Send missed calls to my email(box not checked)
- Enable Recording (4), Switch (*) and Conferencing options on inbound calls(box not checked)
- Send calls and text messages from numbers identified as spam by Google directly to the Spam folder(box checked)
There are a few other questions/tabs but none of them seemed to have any remote possiblity of effecting calls/texts.
I also use Handcent as my text default text app
I hope this helps.

I think the google voice settings might conflict - just go reset them (see my post above for my settings). You may need to go to the app manager, click on google voice, and press "clear defaults" -- then the next time you press the message app, you will get the GV/stock messenger choice. You can then mark it as default.
I hope this helps!
well i unrooted my phone, but it didnt help, seemed to make another problem!, now not only would i not get texts or voicemails from the stock apps or any other for that matter, now i couldnt make calls or recieve any calls.
i called sprint and explained it all again asking for tech service right away so i wouldnt waste time removing the battery, updating the prl and profile etc.. anyway after a hour with a tech my phone is working good as new.
it was funny cause after he told me some things to do to it i started getting a flood of texts from the stock messenger and tons of voicemails from the stock voicemail app. it now works perfect, no google voice needed! he had a hard time getting the voicemail to work at first, he said it was going nowhere. when people called my phone it said the cricket customer! im with sprint! he had me enter some codes in the phone app that he said reset the phone, on his end and on the phone itself.
anyway its fixed! no need for a new phone.
heres the steps he told me to do, i hope i got the numbers right:
dial ##654458#, it will do something and go to another screen after resetting some things.
select edit
then theres two options, select the second number (msid i believe) (write it down first)and change the number to ten 1's (thats 1111111111)
then hit menu on your phone pad and select "commit"
the phone will reset itself.
now do those steps again but enter the old msid number i told you to write down, back into where the ten 1's are.
then hit menu on your phone pad again and select "commit"
the phone will reset itself.
it should be okay after this and you should recieve texts and voicemails from your stock apps.
note: i uninstalled and disabled google voice from both my phone and through the google voice web site settings.
I had the same issue. When you set up voice you integrated your sprint phone number with google voice. Uninstall gv and reinstall gv. On the first screen it asks you to integrate your phone number with gv. Skip that and proceed with normal install. All your issues will clear up.

Gv is pretty cool. You can set up different voice mail answer messages for different people. I have one for my wife and one for everyone else. Plus it'll dictate messages for you if you don't want folks to know you are checking you're vm.

So I just got my GN, and it's pretty freakin awesome! One thing I noticed though is that if I swipe calls to the left to ignore, it sends them to my new voicemail on verizon as opposed to my GV. If I let it ring all the way through though, then it routes to GV. It's not a super big deal because I can just push the power button and ignore calls that way, but still...
Also, the messaging sends through regular texts, and not GV...this last part I had heard before, but in case anyone else didn't know that.
Here's hoping they update the GV app to take care of these things.
My voicemail routing works correctly, however you're right on the auto-reply texts. Even with Google Voice set as the default action for messaging, they still send via the stock app.

Are you on verizon?
I went through a hassle to get Google Voice setup correctly on this phone. Had to upgrade my Voice account to a full Google Voice number, instead of just a voicemail number. Doesn't really matter, since I'm only using the voicemail functionality of it, but still.
Go to the phone and call *71 and your number (so *718001112222 if your GV number was 800-111-2222) and it'll set the call forwarding up correctly. Just have to make sure it's a *FULL* Google Voice number (can be done on the website - voice.google.com)

Yes, I am on Verizon. I use a full Google Voice account for calls, voicemails, and texts, and have call screening services turned off. I now use it on Galaxy Nexus and a Galaxy Tab 10.1; it's a wonderful setup.
On a side note, I did not have to call the routing number to set up my Voicemail forwarding. I simply selected "ok" both times during the Android setup process, ignoring the warnings about "incompatibility."
You should double-check your settings: https://www.google.com/voice#phones

My send to Google voicemail is working correctly when I dismiss a call, but the text messaging option still tries to use the built in messaging app even though I disabled it.
Anyone know a way to force it to use Google Voice for text messaging?
Thanks for suggestions everyone. Just did the *71 thing and will check to see if it worked when I get to work.
Not sure what you mean by full gv account... I use it for everything, so I'm assuming I am on full.
I also pushed OK and ignored the incompatible warning, but that didn't work last night... Maybe because of 4.0.2? Either way, hopefully im fixed now.
