Getting rid of Google Voice.

[mPbLlama]

Sorry if this thread is in the wrong section.

I currently have a Nexus S 4G on Sprint. I have my Sprint number integrated with GV, and everything was working fine until the past few weeks. Texts often times do not send for hours, and I don't receive texts for upwards of days even while connected to WiFi/4G. This is obviously a huge problem, and my phone is almost unusable in its current state for texting.

What I want to know is if there is any way to get rid of Google Voice. I have searched for hours in forums, and on google, but every method I have found does not help me. Please, is there any way to fix this!? I want to be able to text!

Can't you just uninstall the app.and stop using the service? Go nonlinear and remove your number.
Btw, I had the problem with queued texts a couple of weeks ago. I uninstalled/reinstalled the voice app, and the problem went away

I went into "My Apps" and it doesn't show up in the list (it came with my phone).

I really don't want to have to factory reset/root my phone.

Just log into the Web interface and disable it (click the gear icon in the upper right).

I have done this numerous times :/

That always disabled it for me. It's obviously pulling the info from somewhere. If you have the app installed on your device (I don't), delete your info there. If you have third-party apps that use GV, disable them as well. If you still can't figure it out, just get a new gmail account and reassociate all of your apps (except Google Voice) with it.

I think if you enter *38 and then send on your phone dialer, it will clear google voice and set it back to Sprint's regular voice mail.

Try "freezing" it with Titanium Backup
