I've had my Google Voice and Sprint number integrated for several years and it has worked fine. Since yesterday, with the Hangouts app updated and working with GV, when I send an SMS, it sends anywhere from 6-30 repeats of the same text to that person. I have disconnected my integration and then set it up again to no avail. Any help?

When Voice and Hangouts first integrated, I was having trouble sending MMS to iPhone users and it was sending via SMS and Google Voice when I messaged anyone else with an Android for the first time after the integration but it stopped. I've noticed that a lot of the settings were buggy for the first few days after I did it, too. I got the update last Thursday and it didn't start sending all my messages through Voice until friday afternoon.

Same problem here. I ended up disabling the Sprint Google Voice integration.

It's a known issue now. Since I'm still new, I can't post links. But it's linked to in several Google Hangouts Help Forum threads. For Sprint users, they want to disable the Hangouts integration:

"If you're using Google Voice on your Sprint phone, you shouldn't turn on text messages and voicemails in Hangouts. This will cause problems with your text messages."

Same issues here. I ended up disabling Hangouts and just going back to using the Voice app for recorded messages and my stock SMS program for texts.

I did read that Google's own site that it recommends Sprint customers with integration not use Hangouts for SMS and voice messages.

Sucks for us.
