I think I figured out part of the problem. When I use the native Android Kit Kat phone dialer (did I mention I'm not a big fan of the new app?), it seems to be dialing from my cell phone directly, regardless of the settings in GV. However, when I call a number using the 'People' app, and the GV settings for 'Use GV to make all calls', it works like it should - the phone screen shows that I'm calling the correct number, and underneath it, it says "Calling via Google Voice", and it lists the random GV number it is using to connect.
So, I wonder if there will be fix to this, or if there is a 3rd party phone dialer app for Kit Kat that would allow me to use GV all the time. I would hate to think that I need to first add every number I ever wanted to call to my phonebook before calling it, just to have the call placed through GV every time.
*UPDATE* Now it seems that if I dial the entire 10 digit number, including the area code, it will use GV to complete the call. If I only dial the 7 digit number, within my area code, it dials directly and displays my cell phone number in Caller ID. Argh, I hate having to always dial the area code for local numbers.
