To get the call from google integration to come through, I had to (after every call from google voice failing) call *2 which on the epic does things like check the voice and data connections. once I did that, the call from google integration came through.

if your using gv thats your issue and it needs to be completely removed from phone AND PC. pm me if you got issues doing it from pc. i swear i had same issue but i didnt see where you said you were using gv till now.

HOLY $@#$@#%, I missed about 30 calls yesterday and only know about the ones that went to google voicemail. I just turned back on google integration so I can forward calls to my computer/ipad. ridiculous!

The last step to turning on google integration is google calls you... if too like 10 times click "call me now" before my phone rang and it only rang once I called tech support first.

So I probably have to ditch my epic and sprint. I get almost none of my phone calls coming through. SMS's are messed up like the other thread.
Sunday, go into store 2 different repair centers. "we can hard reset which you just did, order you the same phone as a replacement, sell you a new phone". I choose the replacement.
Tuesday, go into get my replacement phone. Get to my car and realize that the menu key doesn't work. Sprint calls me a bunch of times. All which go to VM and never ring my phone. So I call them back, get to tech support. They have me hard reset to see if that fixes the issue. To humor them, I did it. The steps they gave me didn't work.
1) dial ##78#
2) select Reset
3) dial 228032
4) click on and select yes to reset
I ended up calling ##78# and looking online... nothing about these steps anywhere.
So I hard reset from what the sprint site says.
And they call me back which of course I don't get cause it doesn't ring my phone.
I call back and the person looks up my info and tells me to go into a store as soon as I can cause the techs wont be able to help me.

If you don't know, I have to be available 24/7 as the back up to turning off a transmitter which acts up mostly in the winter time. That means at usually 6am, I have to turn it on or off when someone calls me. FCC fine on a transmitter left on is very high.

Have you tried a different phone to see if it works? or your planning on leaving sprint?

I would be forced to probably go to verizon or something. the sucky thing about that is no google integration that I know of and that my company has over 20% discounts on AT&T and sprint, but not verizon.

to try a different phone, I would have to buy a different phone and probably pay $35 to switch back and forth to the phone or whatever that silly charge is. The only other phone I have available is the TP2 and when I had that the most the phone ever rang was twice before going to VM.

No no no no no. I only turned on gv because people were calling me like 30 times and I would have no clue that they called. With gv integration, at least I know that people called me. Originally, I just turned on the gv part, but realized that people weren't waiting until vm was hit so I turned on full gvi so at least I would know when people called me. So
No gv = people calling me, my phone almost never ringing and me having no clue about it
With gv vim forward = people calling me, my phone almost never ringing, but I know when they call me and hit vm after 5-6 rings
With full gvi = people calling me, my phone almost never ringing, but gv sending me emails for ever missed call and voicemail.

When my phone does ring, it rings between .5 and 2 times while the people on the other end hear 5-6 rings.

like I said in the other thread, my phone (the replacement) crapped out on me.
So I now have an app called talkatone for gv on my iPad and it immediately rings. it is awesome, but I feel like zack morris.

so... the newest refurb they forgot to put all the clips on the screen so it's like a springboard... guess I'll go get phone #4.
