travismheim Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I'm still going to try it for a while and see how it goes. I do have a question though. Since sms now goes over the data channel only, what happens when you are in a 1x area (native or roaming)? Will the sms just not go through? If so, I guess when I go to an area like that, is it best to disable the integration? Sent from my Note 4. If you have no data connectivity and choose to send by Google Voice in Hangouts, the message will not send and it will say message not sent, touch to retry. If that happens, you can easily toggle it to send via regular SMS instead. However, data does work while only connected to 1x, roaming data needs to be enabled obviously if you aren't in native coverage. 1x data is slow, but I rarely have trouble sending Google Voice messages while on it (native or roaming).

nexgencpu Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I agree with you on the GVoice website front, as simple as it is, it does the job well enough for the most part, and if Google would have made somewhat of an effort to improve on it, it could have been something truly special. But what we have now on hangouts is improving everyday, it does allow you to send through SMS protocol or Google Voice integration (Data) Also, it is backing up all conversations on Gmail cloud in the chat section, so you can reference back to any conversation, in a cumbersome way, but you can. Is this solution better than Google voice!? probably not, but I can see what Google was going for integrating Gvoice together with Gtalk IM as a one stop shop. If they continue to improve on it like they have, I fully expect it to work well enough to finally be a proper G Voice and G Talk replacement. It really has improved massively since it was first introduced, but so far its a jack of all trades, and most definitely a master of none.

kct1975 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Well in addition to my agreement with the comments AJ made, the other reason that I'm not interested in Google Hangouts, is that I'm not interested in the social networking aspects of Google Hangouts.

nexgencpu Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Also, would like to add, hangouts dialer is GREAT, especially if you have full integration, you can make and receive calls from your Sprint number, basically VoLTE, handy when you need data and voice at the same time. Since last update this feature works really well, even if your phone dropped to 1x for the CDMA call, you can cancel the CDMA call and the Hangouts call can take over, pretty slick! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nexgencpu Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 It does a seamless handoff? That is pretty slick. Yes it does, as long as you reject the call from the CDMA dialer, it will switch over to Hangouts dialer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etirkca Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 In the recent past, Hangouts/Voice integration used a link to send MMS images instead of sending the image directly over the network. Has that been fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teeitupmo Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 What about receiving MMS in Hangouts, from Sprint w/full integration? Last time I tested, all incoming MMS still go to my Sprint phone, not my forwarded phones using Hangouts.

adamjamessimon Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I wonder if the google mvno will make all of these data network vs CDMA texting, calling on data vs CDMA, etc confusions and issues go away with a truly seem less experience... Would be nice. Suppose it would take some coding on googles part to determine optimum network transport method at any given moment.

travismheim Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 If I try to send MMS via google voice to my sisters sprint phone I get a SMS reply about incorrect country code and the message never sends. If I change it to send via carrier number it will go through just fine. I can send MMS via google voice to my friends at&t phone and it will go through, also works sending to a Verizon number. I called customer care and they had no idea and suggested I contact Google. Has any of you ever had this happen?

It seems to only occur with people that have GV integrated - certainly I've only had it occur with other sprint customers. MMS to other carriers seems to work fine. Quite annoying that the one part that should work, doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk I've had it happen quite a few times for a while, although it's primarily been with my wife who is also integrated. Outside of that, I rarely have run into issues (although I don't often MMS to sprint non-integrated folks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Student Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hey so is gvoice and sprint integration fixed? Does it still send a million text messages over and over again? Does it still work when your sprint number is your google voice number and you integrate into hangouts? (I read it works when you integrate with your google number replacing sprint and integrate into hangouts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxyguy Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I have my Sprint # integrated. I did it about 2 weeks ago. Everything works just fine. Text msgs show up on all my android devices and I can text from my tablet or computer. I can also call from Hangouts using my Sprint #, which is pretty cool. Same for my tablet and computer. I can also receive calls on my tablet and computer. There's only one thing that I hope they may fix at some point. MMS msgs only go to my phone, and don't come through to all my devices. That would make it perfect. Sent from my Note 4. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galaxyguy Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Group mms will only go to your phone, not through gvoice/hangouts. The same goes for sending. You can't send mms from gvoice/hangouts. Sent from my Note 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
