Google Hangouts w/Voice (Was Google Voice)

This is only a problem if you are fully integrated, correct? I'm not integrated but still have my GV texts and VM coming to Hangouts, plus have my Sprint phone using GV voicemail and I don't have any issues that I can tell.

 

Guys - Important message from Google:

 

 

Not sure when that went up, but they must know about the issue. This merger has been a disaster. How could they let this happen to Sprint integrated customers?

so your Sprint number is NOT your Google Voice number, correct? if that is the case, that is why you are not experiencing the problems.

Once again I'm not having these issues and my Sprint number is my GV number. I just sent a text to my co-worker and he received it once.

I wasn't having issues either until I made an update to Hangouts. seems like Google tried to fix some other issues with Hangouts, and broke something else. like you, I was using Hangouts for a few days without issues.. started falling in love with the setup.. then all crazineess started happening.

I thought I wasn't having the multiple sms sent issue either.  But it must be intermittent.  I sent someone three texts yesterday as part of a "conversation"; all within a few minutes.  First two were fine.  Third one he received 48 times.

The latest hangouts update seems to have borked it for me, though the timing could also just be a coincidence. Also, when I saw the 60+ texts was when I tried the option to send from Google Voice, rather than smart reply. Fortunately I had just sent it to myself...

I an bailing out this Sprint Google Voice and Hangouts intergration. Many people have reported that they are receiving any where from 5-10 duplicated messages.

 

Here is what I speculate.... There is a serious bug when you send a GV/hangouts SMS.... every session of Google thatv you have logged in.. Sends out a text message. Any browser and smartphone.. recognizes you send and SMS.... and sends SMS out.. Hangouts can't determine that the SMS has been sent already.

 

That is just my educated guess.. because every Hangouts session I have logged it... that is how many SMS messages the other party gets.

 

I will switch back to my old setup again...

Latest Hangouts and GV. Sprint integrated. Two phones, one iPad, dozens of browsers. No duplicates.

Update from me. I sent a text message from the default messaging on my phone and it sent about 15 messages to two different people.

 

You have to disable receiving text messages in hangouts (in the hangouts setting) and also use another app.

Why would you use the default app to send from if you have the Hangouts app?

 

Cause Hangout wouldn't let me send to multiple people. When I send from hangout it works fine.

I'm fully integrated with google voice and hangouts merged and just replied to some one and they got it 16 times. He is a Sprint user but without google voice. When I test it on my friends AT&T phone he only got it once. I didn't realize the issue was effecting me since most of my friends all use hangouts chat instead of SMS.

Has anyone had any issues with multiple sms's being sent while being integrated into hangouts?  I deactivated the hangouts potion of google voice because of the issue.  I haven't noticed a hangouts update, but wanted to see if anyone still using it has the issue still.

I had the same problem so I went back to using a different messenger app and voice not integrated with hangouts. Would show one message from me but friends would get up to 15 copies.

I haven't had it happen to me in over a week now. Or at least the people I text haven't complained about receiving 30 replies.

Guess I'll give it another go.  Maybe google fixed something on the back end.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
