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.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
