Can anyone tell me if there are any build prop edits for the V410 LTE that would allow the device to make calls and send text messages?
It seems like there must be someway...the thing has a cellular radio in it already. I figure maybe AT&T had them modified to only operate on data.
I'm using a workaround currently and packing the g pad 7.0 as my only device and loving it. But I would love to just have the functionality without the trade-offs.

Use your Google voice account, using hangouts for texting and hangouts dialer for phone calls

I appreciate your response. That actually won't solve my issue. I can receive sms to my hangouts messenger but can't send text to other phone numbers from that app. I've only been able to send text from the at&t messenger.
As far as calling, the hangouts dialer is my choice for making calls at the moment. It's a dirty workaround too though. I have my at&t calls forwarded to a talkatone # that rings my tab. But when dialing from my tab I can only show unknown number or my talkatone #.
It works, it's just ugly. Really enjoying the g pad, just want to squeeze every drop out of it.

I think something is misconfigured, I have no issue sending and receiving texts, or making and receiving calls on my G Tab via hangouts. From what I remember, talkatone uses your google voice number, so it would be redundant to use it. You're not going to be able to have outgoing calls show as your cell number only your google voice (talkatone) number.

Hmmm, maybe so. I do not have a Google voice # but picked one out from talkatone. I wonder if I could just port that # to Google voice and scrub talkatone then?
As far as the sms problem, I can send instant messages to anyone in my Google contacts and any sms sent to my cell number will show in hangouts. But any time I've tried to reply or initiate sms to a phone # through hangouts it just gives me a "sending..." but never does. It's actually the same with another favorite sms app, Hello Sms, I receive texts just fine, but cannot send from that app.

Set up a Google Voice number and set hangouts as your default for sending and receiving SMS, hangouts dialer will make and receive phone calls from the same number

I changed my real number today and am still in the process of trying to get everything connected to the google voice number.
Here's the situation,
I would like to use the vanilla mms app in cyanogen 6 for sending and receiving texts. I've been testing and haven't figured out how to do it yet. With the mms app, I can send a text to the gv number and when I receive it, the from number is the gv number. I have conditional call forwarding from my real number to gv and nobody has my real number. I have the phone set up to use gv for all outgoing calls. If I send a text with the vanilla app to my real number, the from field, when I receive it, shows my real number.
I've tried looking on the market for a replacement mms app that is compatible with gv and I can't find any. There doesn't seem to be a setting to set the mms apps outgoing number to a different number. I would like to use the vanilla mms app to send texts to people but when they receive it, it's showing my gv number in the from field. I know I could use the gv app for mms, but I prefer the vanilla one.
Anyone have any suggestions ?
Thanks

I have the option to pick 10 friends which I can call without burning up my minutes with Verizon. I wonder what would happen if I put my google voice number to the list, and start making/receiving calls from now on with my google voice number. Will I be able to call within the US and Canada for free?

If you google how to do it then it should work, but might only work incoming or outgoing calls, not both. Most likely incoming I think. When you USED to dial out, it would always dial the same number, but now, it dials a different number to dial out and isnt always the same. Google it and I am sure you can find a tutorial somewhere.
Add your GV# to FnF then get Flex Dialer Pro from the Market. Once setup it will call out using your GV#. That way all calls coming & going are free.

It works for outgoing calls if you have the old google voice apk. the new one on the market uses multiple numbers instead of connecting to the same server everytime. here you it is. this is the one I use it always dials out the same number http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7628419/com.google.android.apps.googlevoice.apk Do NOT UPDATE!

This is correct for outgoing calls.
For incoming calls, you can add your google voice number to your F&F and then set Settings -> Calls -> Caller ID (incoming) to "Display my google voice number."
You then lose caller ID, but the calls are free.
More hassle than its worth imo.
Using the older .apk you'll have to add 2 numbers to your FnF. One for outgoing calls & your GV#. The outgoing number does sometimes change depending on your location as far as I can tell. If you set it up as I suggested earlier you'll use only your GV# in FnF.

So I setup google voice at first and it was fine.
I still had my regular phone # and the google #. Both came up correctly when I called someone or texted someone through the stock app or GV app.
Texting was working fine too. Texting through the stock messaging app showed my regular # and texting through the GV app showed my GV #.
I don't know what happened but now all the texts I send through my regular messaging app come up as my GV #. I don't want that. Anyone know how to fix this to make it go back to normal?
So what I want is...
People I call using my regular sprint # see my regular sprint # on their caller id
People I text using the stock messaging app see my regular sprint # as their contact
People I call using my GV # see my GV # on their caller id
People I text using the GV app see my GV # as their contact
I don't know how to fix your problem, but porting my sprint # to gv and dropping my old gv number was the greatest decision I ever made concerning Google Voice. Well....except that time I got invited and signed up.
Then everything just comes from one number. But maybe you want it separate for a reason.
Again, sorry I don't know how to fix your issue. Good luck!

The problem is the wasn't an issue yesterday and now today it is acting all weird. Something in my settings must have made it freak out and that is what I need to find out.
I want both numbers to be separate because one number is from a different state and when people see it in my current state it looks a little suspect, if that makes any sense.
I disabled the GV # on the web and now the phone is acting fine with my real # but would like to use GV so wanted to see what settings I need to choose to get it to correctly work like before.
So this hasn't happened to anyone else or does no one frequent the general part of this board?
Sprint numbers can now fully integrate with Google Voice. Try deactivating Google Voice integration with your spring number then reactivating it - IIRC, it will give you a choice whether you want to be fully integrated or keep the number separate.

Gonna give that a try...thanks. Is there anyway to have google voice only log my texts from the GV # and be able to disable the texts through my regular sprint #?
Seems unnecessary having the texts also go into the GV inbox when I don't want them to. Wish I could turn that off.

Once you get your numbers split, GV should stop logging texts from your native phone number.

So if everything is working properly my sprint #s texts will go to my messaging app and my GV texts will just be in the GV inbox and everything will be totally separate...correct?
Is there some specific settings I need to change online on the GV site to make it all work properly?

I believe this is set through the initial setup (when you FIRST activate your phone for google voice)
Looks like I might have got it working again. Still getting regular texts in GV inbox tho.
If I send a text message from the default messaging app, I get a "Text Message Not Sent" message, and if someone sends me a message, instead of showing up with their name, it has a number I don't recognize, but their name will be appended to the message. I don't have these issues if I use Google Voice.
I KNOW it has something to do with GV settings, but I've tried everything I can think of to reset it, including clear data on both apps, uninstall and reinstall of GV. I even tried changing radios. I really do NOT want to do a factory reset. I suppose I can use the rather anemic GV app for texts, but if someone texts my "real" phone number, I think I won't get notified of it.
Is there some setting I'm missing, or some third-party app that can unify texting across both numbers?
Wait now... So first off, when someone texts you, they're sending it to your Google Voice number?
And when you send texts out, which number are you trying to use?
The first part of troubleshooting here is to go into Google Voice settings and tell it to not receive texts via the Messaging app. If you're going to be using only your GV # for SMS, just use the Google Voice app. Don't have it forward to your Messaging app it just causes problems (like random #'s as you've seen).
It keeps things simple. When you get an SMS to your Messaging app, you know it was sent to your carrier #. You reply and it comes from your carrier #.
When you get an SMS in your GV app, you know it came to your GV # and when you reply it comes from your GV #.
This really is the simplest way to manage it if you want to be able to use both your carrier # and the GV #.
Regardless, GV should never get in the way and prevent you from sending texts from the Messaging app.
The problem is that it doesn't matter what I have the GV app set to. I still can't send texts from my messaging app. Even if i uninstall GV, i still can't send texts from my messaging app.

I think you're having a separate issue. In all of my time using Google Voice in different configurations there's nothing that has stopped my stock Messaging app from sending and receiving SMS to my carrier #.
The new google voice doesn't let me select to send texts with my cell phone number or to send calls with my cell phone number. It defaults to my google voice number.
The begining of the year, If I sent a text through my messaging app it would use my cell phone number and if I sent it through the google voice app it would send it with my google voice number. I dont know which version I was using.
Ive tried installing installing previous versions.
0.4.1.19
.3.4 (#13)
.3.0
With all three versions I was able to switch my phone so I can make calls with my carrier number and GV number. But all my texts are still showing up with my google voice number!
Current version is 0.4.2.66
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
I need this fixed ASAP because I use one number for personal use and another for buisness.
You need to file a bug report with Google Voice support.

Did you try clearing defaults in Google Voice and also in the messaging app? It should ask which you would like to use unless you checked the use as default box.
Also go on Google Voice on your computer to set your GV number to your cell phone number. That's what I did and I don't have any problems. Also try going into the settings for GV and click on Sync and Notifications and see if it's having you send texts through GV instead of the messaging app.

Kenny I dont see any defaults on google voice website.
If I understand what your telling me. The messaging app is not the problem. Whats the problem is when I go into the native messaging app and send a text it reads as if My phone has the google voice number. When before If I sent a message through the native messaging app it would use my number and If I sent a message through the google voice app it would use my google voice number.

If I make my cell phone number my primary on GV on the internet I will loose my GV number.
I have both Google Voice Enabled and Receive text messages on this phone under the phones tab in GV settings on the internet.
I tried both sending a text with Sync and Notifications selected and it not selected and both times it doesn't recognize my number when I recieve a text.
I uninstalled the app and tried sending myself a text and I No longer recieved texts through the messaging app. Its like incoming texts are set to my GV number without the app even being in the phone! This is a big problem!!!
Looks like Ill have to do a full reset and hopefully that fixes this!

I mean the Google Voice app on the phone. My GF uses her GV for business and everytime she sends a text it asks her which app she would like to use, GV or Messaging app. She did not integrate her number. If it does it even though you have uninstalled the GV app then it is a setting on the Google Voice website.

Thanks I GOT IT TO WORK.
Texting and calling works now. I can choose to call from my GV number and My Cell number and texting from the native app recognizes my cell number and texting from the google app recognizes my cell number.
What I did was
1. Remove google voice and install version 0.4.1.19
2. Go on GV on the internet and disable google voice to my sprint phone.
It works. Now.
Why not integrate and use your Sprint number as both your cell phone number and your GV number?
Edit: NVM, I didn't read the OP thoroughly.

A lot of us use the Google Voice number as a business line.
