Google Voice problems continue

**starobin** · 11-04-2010, 01:04 PM

A week or so after updating to Froyo on my Droid X I started having a real problem with Google Voice - any received calls to my GV number disconnect 1 second after I answer them. Outgoing calls and SMS are fine. Just incoming calls.

This is not a hardware problem - incoming calls to my CELL number answer just fine. Just not to Google Voice.

I tried a factory reset deleting all the apps I've added - same problem (though the factory reset was still in Froyo with Google Voice in it's latest version: 0.4.2.8)

I tried deleting GV and installing older versions (0.3.0 and 0.4.1) but the problem persists.

Anyone have an idea what might be causing this? I don't see anyone else complaining about this on the forums. Any help would be appreciated.

It's having some serious issues today. My wife tried calling me and kept getting someone else. And I just got a call from a nice woman trying to get her own voicemail.

Same thing happened to me and my wife (separate accts) yesterday and today. People who have been using GV for awhile are probably not complaining because Google has conditioned them to accept embarrassingly unreliable service.

If they ever tried to charge even pennies a month for GV, I have a feeling a huge % of their user base would evaporate. It's worth about what you pay for it.

Anyway, my wife and I have had separate GV accounts for 1.5 years and every week we get call misconnections, calls routed to VM when all forwarding numbers are free, etc. A friend called this AM and got a message saying my GV number "was not a working number." All par for the GV course... and I'm actually a Google fan FWIW.

My fiance said she got connected to another user when trying me earlier. Seems to be ok now though.

I've had a few "missed calls" recently that were nto for my and never actually made my phone ring. I was wondering what was going on.

That may explain why I had several odd numbers pop up on my screen today. I didn't answer, so no telling if they were calls from fellow GV users. I just tried calling myself from a land line and the phone rang instantly.

I need to check with my wife. She uses a GV number (two in fact) for her business.

I've been having these problems with google voice for about 2 months. Sometimes people get the error "this number is not in service", other times, the call comes through, but I can't hear the person on the other end of the line. This normally happens twice before we are able to actually connect.... I wish they'd get it working like it was this past summer - it was almost flawless!

I'm having the same issue as the original poster. This has been going on for about a month now. I created a support ticket but haven't received a word of advice!

This is affecting myself, my wife and a coworker. Here is the support thread!
