Hello everyone. Recently I started to use google voice as my main sms application since its free and I have 3G. The only feature that I miss is being able to do voice search and say "text xxxxxx" and say my message. My request is to be able to change the settings so this opens the google voice sms to send the text as the default instead of the native application. Can anyone please make this mod? Thanks in advance.

hello all. Quick question. Is there a way to make messages from google voice pop up like my regular messages do? I use handcent SMS and used SMS popup before that...
thanks all,
Mike
Open Google Voice, hit Menu > Settings then check Notifications via Text Message. This will send the notification as a text and Handcent will then just bring up it's normal popup. Otherwise Voice doesn't have its own popup capabilities.
got it thank you!
I recently downloaded an app called sms popup but am disappointed because it only work for the standard sms app. I use google voice all the time for sms and am wondering if there is a popup for it. Does anyone know of one or is it possible to modify the original to do google voice sms too?
Hi there,
I'm using Go SMS and I'm very satisfied but there is a bug : notifications for sms are not reseted when I read them unless I launch stock sms app.
That's why I'd like to replace stock sms by google sms app, maybe it'll work ! Also, I assume it will be lighter than lg stock sms app but maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway, can someone give me the google sms apk ? Can't find it ...
I am using Slim ICS, and like the feature to send an SMS to an incoming caller.
I use google voice, and have set it as the default SMS app, but when responding to a call with the canned SMS messages it always uses the phones messaging app instead of google voice (shows the wrong phone number to caller).
Is there some file I might edit to change this?
Hey guys, I need some instruction on how to file an official bug report upstream for the android team and what information captures I should include and how to retrieve those? I am including a description of the bug/problem here on the off chance that anyone knows of an existing fix or workaround.
PS. Stock unrooted locked encrypted google play store variant nexus 6 64GB midnight blue with the latest OTA updates and all apps up to date, no "user modifications" made....yet
I have set up hangouts & hangouts dialer as my default MMS/SMS client, and I have ticked use hangouts dialer for incoming calls in hangouts. My google voice number is the same as my sprint mobile number thanks to sprint google voice integration, I have disabled all forwarding phones in google voice options. When I get a call to my sprint number incoming hangouts dialer shows up alone and works perfect and unanswered calls go to google voice voicemail.
When I open chrome and click on a phone link I get the choose default popup that has the options to select "phone dialer or hangouts dialer" I select hangouts dialer and tap on "always", then I close chrome reopen it to a new phone link and tap the phone link and it again opens the choose default dialog even though I just set hangouts dialer as my permanent default a second ago, it continues to do this EACH time no matter how many times I set hangouts dialer as my default dialer. I have tried disabling google dialer in settings(defaults option for google dialer are greyed out), turning off mobile data & everything but WiFi (don't see how that should change anything, and it doesn't change anything).
So to sum it up I can not set hangouts dialer as my default dialer on a google play bought nexus 6 running stock everything latest updates all apps up to date. The default dialer selection " always" just does not seem to get set when always is selected. Me setting hangouts dialer to always is not remembered.
To make matters worse when I select hangouts dialer and tap "always" it opens hangouts one time and it DOES put the number into the dialer but it does NOT hit call or initiate the call, like the default dialer does with phone links.
Further, after attempting to set hangouts dialer as default "always" 20 times, when I do "OK google call xxxxxxxxxx" voice command it shows the blue google dialer logo there's nothing to tap on to change what dialer OK google opens and it opens it with the default google phone dialer, is there some trick to make a call using hangouts with OK google? Is the trigger word not "call"? I've tried ", hang out with" which seems unrecognized and a few others. This really effects me as have two android wear devices and I use hangouts as my primary SMS/MMS/phone dialer and when I make a call through a wear device it doesn't use hangouts and it doesn't show in my hang outs call history.
I have installed the google voice app and selected the options "view and play voice mail in the phone call dialog". (Most likely unrelated).
If anyone knows a fix or workaround for this I would be seriously thankful.
Any help on how to file a bug report with adequate information upstream and how to motivate the android team to fix this is also appreciated!
Thanks.

Also, when I swipe left to right from the lock screen to open the default dialer google dialer opens NOT hangouts dialer which I have tried so desperate 30 times to set as default.

Did you ever find a go-around for this? Any solution at all? FYI, this problem is NOT Nexus 6 specific. I have the EXACT same issues on the Moto X 2014. Must be an overall Hangouts Dialer Bug.
Anyone else have ideas for a go-around until Google fixes it?
