can someone tell me why Google Voice has taken over my text messaging? how do I get it to stop? I went to Google Voices site but could not find any way to stop it.
I had same problem, called sprint tech support, you have to be unrooted and call from another line not your phone, they give you codes to put in your dialer then your good to go. Good luck!

No need to unroot, if you set up your Google Voice with Sprint Integration this is a "feature" of that. I went went to google.com/voice and completely got rid of my Google voice acct, then on my phone I uninstalled the app. After that's all done to back to google.com/voice and set up a new account with a different number then your cell phone. After you set up a different num D/L Google voice from the market and this time when it asks if you wanna integrate your account click 'skip' and just use Google voice for your default voice mail.

it sends your voice to google to analyse it and sends back the text.
open the google voice app on your phone. goto sync and notifications. uncheck Inbox Notifications, and check text messages. Should be just like normal. You will then get a text message when there is a voicemail which you can open up the google voice app to listen to it.

Did you set it to be your default sms app?
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Google Voice,
then scroll down to the area "Launch by Default" and clear the defaults.
[Q] SMS messages are only going to Google Voice, and bypassing "Messages." Why?
I have my Google Voice integrated with my Sprint phone number. Normally, if somebody texts me, it shows up in Google Voice, Messages, Handcent, and whatever other messaging app I have installed. I just configure the notifications as I like them, so that I'm only notified by 1.
Ever since I installed Synergy, incoming messages only go to my google voice app. They don't show up in "messages."
If I send a message from "messages," then the outgoing message also shows up in google voice. But any reply I receive will also only show up in google voice. It's like only google voice works for incoming messages now.
This is still true if I uninstall google voice from my phone. I can only send. Not receive.
Please, someone out there give me some advice. I'd rather use the native app and just use GV for my desktop.
Uninstall Google voice.
Then redownload it.
When you run it for first time, br sure to skip the sprint integration at the very beginning. Now you should be back to normal

Settings -> Sync and Notifications -> Check Text notifications.
Or go to voice.Google.com and change it from there.

Is there an addon app for Google Voice that will allow me to select contacts I always want to call with Google Voice and contacts to never call with Google Voice? Trying to find a way to have to touch the screen less and do more.
Voice Choice from the Play Store. Been using it since my first Android phone...free and flawless in my opinion.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS52b2ljZXBsdXNmcmVlIl0.
I'm used to the iOS voice app that has an embedded dialer. Is there an analog in Android? Even though I have GV set to ask whether to use GV or my cell number to dial, it seems the only way to dial is to choose a contact from GV app. Using the native dialer always dials from my cell #.
Is there a hidden feature or alternate app for dialing?
You don't need Google voice that's a completely different service. Use google now its much better and it will search anything from any screen by saying "OK google" once you set it up. I'll attach some screen shots for you.

Thanks, but that's actually not the issue - I'm trying to use Google Voice to that it sends my office phone number as callerID when I call clients from the road. Unfortunately, Google's brilliant (not!) use of "Voice" for the name of a service makes searching impossible to find help on the app. (Google Voice Dialing, as in Dialing with the Google Voice cloud app)
I'm actually using google voice for a second phone line I use with clients. It rings on my desktop and forwards to my cell. I would like to be able to dial out from my G3 using Google Voice so that the callerID that gets sent is my office number, not my cell number. As I said, if I select a contact from the GoogleVoice app, it asks whether to dial with the GVoice app (which goes through a telephone gateway with the Office CallerID), or to dial with the native phone app, which would send my cell phone CallerID.

Groove ip should enable your google voice number to be the native caller id.

Thanks - I'll give it a try; that's a VoIP solution though, right? I was hoping for an ability to direct dial (from the gv app). I'm still discovering some of the weird things that work better under iOS than android, and am kind of surprised when it's the native Google stuff that is "behind".
Yehp, it's done wonders as my office phone, you could at the least have it request permission when dialing to which number you'd like to use, just a click away, about the same or less amount of clicks you'd use compared to going into gv, selecting a contact, and dialing. With groov normal contacts, select or dial, await popup for which dialer you wish to use, and bam!
If you go into the Google Voice app on your G3 and then go into the Settings for the Google Voice app, you should see an option entitled "Making calls". In that section you have 4 choices to select from for how you want Google Voice to behave when you make a call from your phone using the native phone app:
1) Use Google Voice to make all calls
2) Do not use Google Voice to make any calls
3) Only use Google Voice for international calls
4) Ask every time I make a call
It sounds like you'd prolly want to go with option 4. That way when you go into the Phone app on your G3 and dial a number to place an outgoing call, Google Voice will pop up and ask you if you want the outgoing call to be placed with either your Google Voice number or your "real" phone number that you got from your carrier. This way you have the choice presented to you for every outgoing call you make from your G3.
I've used Google Voice for years now and this is how it's always worked. I use option 1 for my own needs on my cell phone because I just give everyone my Google Voice number and never give out my "real" cell number except to a few choice friends and relatives, so I always want my outgoing calls to show my Google Voice number to the person I'm calling.
Hope that helps you out.
That works too ^^^^^^^^
The thing is I started using groove when google voice would not allow me to make any calls using the app its self ....
*edit*
I forgot before I said that, yes you can make calls with gvoice, but your caller id will be some other number.
GrooVe IP will allow you to make a call whether on wifi or data (note the full ver is the one that allows the data call) Google's a thing..... and it will also show your gvoice number as the number you are calling from, as well as you can recieve calls to your device instead of just acquiring a voicemail to call back from....
[SOLVED]
Okay, so something that was installed, or uninstalled, as I was fiddling with the phone caused GVoice to lose its hook into the calling processes. Uninstalling GVoice and then reinstalling (from the Play store) re-attached it and now it seems to be working correctly. Thanks for everyone's suggestions!

Just a clarification for future searchers - yes, this is supposed to be how it works but somehow my phone stopped doing this. No matter what the setting was, dialing from the phone app dialed with the cell number, and choosing a received message or missed/placed call from the Voice app would dial using the Google Voice interchange. It was weird and, apparently, very unusual behavior.
I just bought an LG G4 (on Sprint). Google Voice is not an option as the default messaging app (you must choose between Hangouts and the standard messaging app). I have tried a number of suggested tricks to make it work but it appears if I want to use Google Voice, I must also use Hangouts.
I just want to use Google Voice. Short of rooting my phone, is there any way to make Google Voice my default messaging app?
Hangouts is Google's replacement for Google Voice. I had to transition to it from Voice a while back and couldn't imagine using Voice again. I don't believe you can set Voice as your messaging app unfortunately. I now use Hangouts on all of my devices, disable the phone's phone app entirely and solely use my Google Voice number along with Hangouts & Hangouts Dialer for all my SMS / Messaging / VideoCalls / VoiceCalls and can continue my conversations on my other devices. It's nice once you've gotten used to it.

Thanks. I think I just have to make the adjustment.
Yeah, it took me a bit as well. Change is rough sometimes, but in the end I think using one app that I can access freely on all of my devices has really made me more efficient. I'm rooted and have actually disabled my phone's phone / contacts apps and solely use Hangouts + Google's AOSP Contacts app for incoming / outgoing / messaging, etc... Nobody even knows my cell number, since I don't use it, only use my Google Voice number. It's working out quite nicely now.
