Whenever I call out using GV, it shows the same phone number for every person. For example when I call "Joe" it shows his numbers 919-123-4567. When I call "Mom" it shows the same number.

Normally I wouldnt care, but sometimes in my call log it will say unknown name and have this phone number even though I just called "Joe" who is in my phone book.

Any ideas guys?

I haven't found a real solution for this. I often don't use the app to dial. Instead, I've placed the following in front of my contact numbers (X= your GV number)(Y=passcode):

XXX-XXX-XXXX,YYYY,2,the number you want to dial#

To explain, dial your google voice number, the place a comma for pause, then dial your passcode, another pause, then press 2, another pause, then the number you want to dial followed by the # sign.

Crappy explanation, but, it works for me.

how much longer does it take to dial using your method?
