I have two Sprint phones. My primary phone is the Note 2 with my main phone number being my Google Voice number. The second phone is an S3 that is also set up with Google voice and pointing to my main phone number. Most features are working but I have an interesting problem that just started when I added the S3. Specifically, when I have both phones on sometimes the phone rings first on the S3 which may then answer the call and send the message to the Sprint Voice message app and not to Google voice. This is problematic since I often keep both phones on. Any ideas?

My second issue is when I reject a call by swiping the screen to reject the calls goes go the sprint voice message and not the Google.

Other than these issues everything else works. Calls go to both phones okay and calls out of both phones work okay and the caller I'd shows my Google voice number.

Only way to make sure to resolve this is tie your voice account to only one phone. As for the voicemails going to your sprint voice message app, check your settings and make sure the voicemails setting is made up to be shown in the call log. that might correct the issue.
