Google voice error at startup (Droid Eris)

[Sashazur]

Every time I turn on my phone* (Droid Eris firmware v1.5), I get the following error message:

Sorry!

The application Google Voice
(process.com.google.android.apps.googlevoice)
has stopped unexpectedly.
Please try again.

[Force Close]

Despite this, the Google voice app does seem to work (at least for reading recorded messages in its inbox - I haven't tried using it to make calls). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling google voice (from the Market app), turning my phone off and on again, etc., nothing helps.

I got my Droid mid-February, so I guess it's as up to date as can be expected. I'm not sure how to find out what version it has for Android, Google Voice, etc.

Any ideas?

*This error only happens after I shut down the phone and then turn it on again - not when I just let it go to sleep and then unlock it.

Yup, Google Voice has some serious issues on the Eris. It forces close on every reboot on my Eris and my wife's. I missed a voicemail this morning because it died and didnt restart.

I get that error on startup also. I immediately open the application though and it works fine after that. If anyone is not getting a notification of a new voice mail from the application itself you may want to consider having a notification sent to you via email or sms.

That is a fantastic idea.  I'll set up an SMS notification right now.  That way it doesn't matter if the app dies, I'll still get notified of a new voicemail.
