[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexuspeer:
Hi everyone.

I have a major problem trying to use Google Voice on my LG Nexus 4 phone.

I have my Google Voice number for over 2 years and it has worked fine on other phones, also it currently works on my laptop using the web browser - I receive and make (dial out) phone calls from the browser.

But on my phone - I can't dial out!

Any of you had the same problem and knows what the solution is?

I am searching online for a solution but can't find an answer.

It doesn't even seem that anyone else have the exact same problem that I have...

Here are some details:

I am on T-Mobile. Regular plan - post paid (not pre-paid), on a contract. I have even activated international dialing, as I call some people overseas once or twice a month. I have unlimited minutes (in the US), texts and internet (although after 2GB it gets slower).

My GV account seems to work OK - with Hangouts - in the browser on my laptop (Acer PC).

I can make phone calls and receive them - in both cases Hangouts handles the calls. I see now that if I receive a phone call it directs to Google Hangouts - but it works there just fine. It seems that Google have integrated Voice and Hangouts.

May be that's causing a problem in my phone...keep reading, please.

By the way - when I am in Google Voice's menu - and try to dial a number from there - I have 2 options:

1. dial a number using "Googe Talk" - nothing happens - it can't dial out that way. (You have to go to Hangouts and dial from there)

2. dial a number using xxx-xxx-xxxx (your phone number shows here - that's my T-Mobile number attached to this GV account) - when I choose that option and dial a number - this happens - GV dials my phone first, my phone starts ringing and I have to answer it - I answer it, then it connects to the number which I dialed on the laptop. That works.

When I go to the settings of GV in the browser - first menu that says "Phone settings" - there currently I have checked both options for "Forward calls to": 1. Google Chat & 2. Mobile number (My T-Mobile number). If I uncheck "Google Chat" as a forwarding option - when someone dials my GV number it will only dial my phone, and it won't dial my GV account on my laptop (Hangouts). I have tried either leaving both checked, or just dial my T-Mobile number - but both ways Google Voice does not work properly on my phone.

Now - lastly - on my phone (Nexus 4) - I receive phone calls when someone dials my GV number.

But I can't dial out (make phone calls)!

I have tried everything from reinstalling Google Voice (the app), clearing cash and data, restarting the phone, Sign Out and Sign In again.

I have tried changing the calling option: "Always dial with Google Voice", "Ask Every Time You make a phone call", etc. neither works - it never dials... What happens is - it changes the screen for a second and tries to dial, but then goes black, then goes back to the GV app. It can't dial!

Any idia why this is happening?

Some other thoughts:

I also have Google Hangouts on my phone - can this cause a problem? Do I need to do a certain setting in the Hangouts app?

I have had this GVaccount attached to a different number once also. Then I unattached it from itand attached it to my current T-Mobile number. I went through confirming it - I received a phone call and input a PIN which was provided (in the browser), afterwards I got the message - "You have successfully added your number".... Can that have caused a problem?

Please, help me!

I need to be able to use GV on my Nexus 4. Mostly I need it for when posting adds on CraigsList - I want to give away my google number and be able to receive a call and make calls with that google number. Also I need it for giving away to strangers and such... But I need to be able to dial out, return missed calls, etc.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
