everything works great as far as calling out and receiving calls, but

anytime someone calls my gv number, it displays one of my contacts (which has the google number and the contact's number) and not the google voice contact (which has just the google number).. I've even changed the name of the google contact entry and put an "a" so it's the 1st item in the contacts list and it still pulls up the same person when my phone rings

I had it working right a few months ago and then it stopped

I just installed the latest omj rom (the 2/12/10) and before I restored my contacts, I called myself and created a new contact, then restored my contacts (and selected not to restore dup's)

anyone have any suggestions? it's not that big of a deal, it would just be nice to have it show "google voice" instead of "other contact" when the phone rings

thanks for any advice



<update>

I figured out a fix, I added a "P" to the google voice contact entry and now when it rings it shows that contact, don't know why the caller id would look at a contact with more info in the string then just the number, but it is working now

There are also a few apps out there that basically replace the dialer and go through GV. I had bookmarked them but lost them, sorry. I remember that one of the better ones was over a xda if you wanna try looking for it. So your carrier gives you a few numbers to pick that calls are free to and from?
