I didn't realize the muted caller issue was google voice related. I thought it was a hardware problem with my N1. Although it had happened repeatedly even after a factory reset. I ended up getting a new phone by warranty swap and the day the new phone came my N1 started working again. Haven't had any issues with the new one though so who knows.

It's not strictly a Google Voice issue. It has to do with the way background applications handle sound on Android. Other apps can cause the problem too. It's also the same root cause of random music playback bug. For example if an audio app is paused in the background plugging in a USB cable, which would normally generate a sound, also causes playback to restart. I believe it's a bug that needs to be fixed in the applications and not really an OS problem. Hopefully by now most apps have fixed it.

I agree, I have been using it to call to india, and its better than most of the competitors, also I made few calls within US and they were much better than AT & T.
