no text messages in messaging app, all going through google voice

[dunivan]

Is there a way to make them sync so I can use the messaging app for texts?

Thanks in advance

did u do google voice integration?

 

[dunivan]

yes I did, but I figured out how to get it to perform how I wanted

I use voice online to text when I do not have my phone, but still want to use the stock text app, here is how to make your phone use messaging and maintain your google voice account.

- go to settings, turn on text message notifications, turn off the background sync feature
- sign out of google voice

google voice will still get the text, it will forward the message to your phone and the messaging app, and then you can reply from in there.

using google voice would not be bad, but I didnt like having to access a menu to compose a new text.

hope this helps someone,

I just set up a Youmail acct. Voice would be good to not have to txt, but turning off background sync would negatively affect my corporate email acct.

All you have to do is login to www.google.com/voice on your desktop.

once you are signed into your google voice account, at the top right you will see the settings button, click that it should look somewhat like this below..

then you'll see this...

I had already disabled mine but if yours says Disable, click it so it looks like the picture above....Goodluck!

p.s. sorry for the typing error in the picture! LoL!

Ok, new thing. Just redo the GV integration from the website. Unintegrate, then reintegarate, AND clear the data on your phone's GV app, and DO NOT USE the app. This will make text messages work properly and go to the phone instead of GV But it still gets saved in the GV account for logging.


THIS MUST BE DONE THROUGH THE GV WEBSITE!
