tl;dr - reinstalled google voice account, now cant choose between #'s when calling out
Hello everyone. First post here after many moons lurking. Thanks for the great board. I've always found solutions to my issues without the need for a new thread, but today I'm stumped after searching forever for a solution. So I thought I''d ask you fine folks for some assistance.
When checking a voicemail this morn in google voice I kept getting a 'your password is incorrect' error. Googl voice was running really slow so I decided to delte the account and set it up fresh again hoping it would clear any bugs out....
Well...all seems to working again accept a feature I use every day, the option that pops up when calling that lets you choose between using you google voice # or your sprint #. Seems that everything now is going through my sprint # and that's no good for my business calls. Has anyone encountered this? Any help is greatly appreciated thanks!

Well despite the overwhelming help(yawn) from you folks I found the solution and will contribute to the board by sharing.
Found solution at a goog board that I cannot post a link to here...
If that link wont post, what happens is that during the setup of GV on the phone, if you don't skip the initial step it will disable the 'Making Calls' section of GV effectively sending everything through your carrier #.
So the fix is delete your GV account within the phone, then detach the phone # from your GV account settings within the normal browser not the app, then re-setup your phone with GV.
For real now, it hasn't even been 2 hours since your first post. Not everyone that sees your thread will know the answer. Gotta be patient, glad you figured it out yourself though.

Problem with notifications
So I just got my note 5 the other day. Naturally I have changed ring tones and spent some time personalizing my phone. The problem I'm having is with the setting for the messages notification. For some reason when I get texts the notification I hear is what is set for the "default" notification tone even though I have something else specified under the messages notification tone. I don't know how to fix this and would really really love some advice. Thanks in advance!!
Anyone have any advice on this? I would really like to fix it? Should I just take it in to Verizon store or is there something I'm just oblivious to?
Go in and open your individual message threads and click on the 3 dots in the top right hand corner opposite your contacts name.....and click on "customize" and then change your alerts from default to whatever tone you want.
That doesn't work. I did get it fixed though. Was a conflicting app causing the problem

How did you fix it? What app? Mine is doing this and it's driving me nuts!! Thank you
Yes, which app? My wife is complaining as well. I'd love to check this off the list of things she has to complain about...

Update:
I fixed this problem by changing her default message app from Message+ (Verizon's bloat app) to Messages (Samsungs stock app) and the individual message tones began to work. Hope this fixes it for you!!
Default notification
Had samwith problem I just put the default notification on silent had no problems since every thing works great
Okay so I am not using their stock Messaging app, I am using Google Messenger and I am able to send/receiver SMS, but cannot send MMS, it just says "tap to try again".
I have gone into the permissions and granted all the permissions available....
Any help? I can also make and receive phone calls, MMS is the only issue...
I got the same issue on T-Mobile, Google Messenger can send SMS but cannot send/receive MMS, also the same thing happens with Textra.
check with this user also in the u.s

Yup, not working.
I tried what that guy suggested and it just won't work.
I granted it all my permissions, I also tried making it default messenger as well as putting it on priority.... I'm on the Chinese ROM not the Vendor / Multi language ROM
Have you double checked the APN is setup correctly? Also do you have mobile data when not on wifi? AT&T's HSPA network literally does not work in some areas, mine being one of them. This will in fact affect MMS.
It can't be an APN issue if SMS/MMS works with the stock messenger app, the problem seems to be that somehow the phone isn't letting MMS messages send/receive from any 3rd party apps.
glad I'm not the only one with the issue bro.
I slowly starting to get used to the stock app, slowly...
Just a few tests that I have run.
I have updated the APN as stated for other International phones unlocked in the past. For example Huawei Mate 8. After doing that the phone was able to MMS.
In following the same process the phone cannot perform the MMS. It can SMS but will not MMS or maintain a group type SMS.
I think the main issue comes from the locale setting on the Xiaomi. All other other International ( Chinese phones) do have under country or locale the USA as an option.
This may not seem important but it does for AT&T.
The combination of the APN and the Locale settings tells the OS and the Carrier that the Phone is authorized but also that it is in the USA were the MMS is allowed.
Not having both of these creates a conflict on the Xiaomi Mix that other International phones don't have . Huawei, ZTE, Vivo, LeEco, Asus,etc.
I have also noticed that certain Apps like Outlook or Blackberry App when setting a calendar invite also have problem with Time Zone setting a revert to the wrong locations
Overall I think we need a way to insert USA as a region or locale so the phone and carrier can play nice at the APN settings
Same issue for me....sigh
Anyone else buy one? I got one last Friday (2/10/17) from AT&T and have noticed that most android wear apps aren't compatible yet. Anyone have any app suggestions?
Hey, got mine Monday via the play store. I'm just learning the device. Love it so far, but has a pretty good learning curve as I have not been using android wear since the OG Moto 360
Would love to find an extra charger (WCD-H100) to keep at my office... does anyone know of where to get one?
Got mine Saturday at an AT&t store. Went in to get the LG v20 and the sales rep brought it out. Said they got it that day. I wasn't planning on replacing my G watch, but when he checked to see if there were any deals, I could not pass it up for $50. I haven't found any accessories yet. I am also very happy with it so far. i just really want a screen protector.
Does anyone know where I can get the LG Watch Sport with international shipping?

Took me awhile to figure out you have to install the watch apps from the playstore app on the watch - they no longer auto-install on the watch when you install the app on your phone.

I am not getting text message notification cards on my watch. I get the message notification tone (I have installed feel the wear) but I don't see an actual notification card on the watch. Any ideas? Email notification cards and pretty much all the others work just fine.
I ordered mine in store from Verizon last Monday. Website says it doesn't ship until 3/16
I've had the watch since the Monday after it launched and was initially not overly impressed. That all changed once I got my T-Mobile digits cloned sim card.
I now have a true stand alone communications device on my wrist. I actually leave my phone often times and use my watch with headphones to make/receive calls. Texting, calls, music, workout monitor, this thing is the absolute bomb! Speech to text on the watch is amazing, fast and accurate. The sound on headphones is not as good as my V20 but I'll accept the sacrifice.
Two gripes; the operating system reminds me of OG IOS. In other words, you have to go back to home to move between apps. A recents button would be huge! 2nd, the battery life is less than desired. I can't get a day out of it with cell service running even with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS off. The build quality on the other hand is top notch!
All in all, this thing is the epitome of a wearable!

I have to agree. Got my tmo cloned sim on wednesday and its been great. My only regret is I think i should've went with the blue. The gray is lighter than what it appeared in the press shots
NFC tag discovery?
Was just wondering if this new watch has the nfc tag discovery function. Can it read NFC tags for non-payment purposes?
So, got my watch yesterday, and wanna make a declaration for AT&T users with the Pixel from Google. Number sync WILL NOT work. They will not enable (AT&T) VoLTE for this feature to work, and blame Google for not releasing specific configuration items or to provision the VoLTE package for AT&T. As a workaround, I am using Google Voice. I ported my at&t number for the Pixel and setup forwarding to the watch. Crude, but so far its working. Calling out does not work, since GV wont install on the watch. Any ideas? (Obv when I call out, it shows the watch number and not my main)

Yes, NFC will work like any other. It just has all the necessary prerequisites as well, to be eligible for Android Pay.

I have AT&T and choose to use Google Voice because its better than NumberSync. Besides being both carrier and device agnostic, its more powerful, more reliable and gives us greater control over our number.
I have a Gear S3, but the process for preserving your GV caller ID is the same for any device not running Android or iOS. It's a hassle to setup, because the work that's done automatically by the GV app needs to be manually setup.
GV assigns each number in your contact list an alias number. Calls or texts placed to that number (from any device associated with your GV account) will show your GV ID. These numbers need to be saved on your device and used instead of their real number.
The first step is to capture the alias numbers. Check your messaging app, they may be displayed in your texts to the contacts. Some phones (ie. LG Stylo 2) briefly display the alias number while dialing a contact. Once captured, the number needs to be added to the contact's profile. After this is synced with your Google account, its available on any device that can access your account. I went through this process a few years ago when using a dumb phone, so when I got my watch, the contacts alias (and regular) numbers were automatically loaded on it. When using the watch, I tap on the contact and select the alias number when placing calls or texts. No one knows my watch number (or my cell phone number), only my GV number.
Now that you’ve ported your number to GV, there are two ways to handle texts. Using the messaging app associated with the devices (via call forwarding) or using Hangouts. If your collection of devices includes a tablet or a computer, using Hangouts will allow messages (and call history and voicemail) to be seen on those devices as well.
Long post, but I hope it helps.

Can you tell me more about the T-Mo digits cloned sim card, i.e., cost, where I get it? I've heard it's the least expensive option (does AT&T charge $16 for the plan + fees and taxes?). Thanks!

Can you provide more clarity on the use of GV? Have you tried it with the LGWS or just the G3? I use my GV # for all of my phones and want to use it for the LGWS. Are you saying that I have to capture the alias # for every contacts #? What about #'s that aren't in my contacts? If I add the LGWS phone # to my GV account (just like I did for my office and mobile phones), won't that take care of the issue?
As for texting, you say "Using the messaging app associated with the devices (via call forwarding) or using Hangouts." It sounds like Hangouts will allow text messaging through GV thereby showing the GV #. Correct?
---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------
1. Outlook Exchange for email, calendar, and contacts (and be able to see all of these on the watch).
2. Google Voice for calling and messaging.
3. Will receive notifications of calls, text messages, emails, calendar alerts.
Thanks!

My GV number is the only number that I know, carrier assigned numbers are meaningless. So I understand where you're coming from. I'm not a tech head so I can't explain it any better than to say the GV app is basically a script. When you select a contact's number, the GV app steps in and dials the assigned alias number for that contact. Ditto with messaging, if the GV app isn't configured properly (to use your native messaging app), your carrier number will be revealed.
On devices that don't have a GV app, it must be done manually. Unless there's a GV app for Android Wear or the AW version of Hangouts can make calls, the process will be the same. I've never laid hands on the LG watch, so I can't speak specifically about it. Since very few folks have the Sport, it might be helpful to post on the LG U2 forum, should be a couple of GV users there.
The manual process sounds more tedious than it actually is. Realize that it only applies to communications that: 1) you initiate and 2) from the watch and 3) in standalone mode. All incoming calls and texts can be received and replied to without the alias number. When the watch is connected via BT, its basically a remote control, outgoing calls go through the phone, so the GV app is used. Texting is a bit more complicated. There is no Hangouts app for Tizen, so you can reply but not initiate. Texts can be placed with the Tizen messaging app, but again, if the alias number isn't used, the watch number will be revealed.
When its filtered down, out of the few hundred contacts you may have listed in your Google account, there are probably only a couple of dozen numbers that you need to capture. The first time you dial a new number on a phone associated with your GV account, the GV app creates an alias number, even if you don't create a new contact. This will need to be manually captured for the watch if future use is desired.
I am happy with the S3 but would switch to AW, if/when it has better integration with GV and better standalone capability than the S3. I don't believe it does at this time. Please let me know if you discover otherwise.

Locked or unlocked is irrelevant because it has an embedded SIM. No one has reported being able to get another provider to program it, even if on the same network. For example, no has been able to put the AT&T version on Cricket. Or use the T-Mobile version on MetroPCS.
Doesn't the AT&T and Google Play Versions just have a Nano Sim card slot?

It does not have an embedded SIM. It has a nano sim and the one of Google Store is unlocked. There are many posts on the internet about using other carriers (TMO, Project Fi) with it. Google is your friend.

My phone upgraded to Oreo just yesterday. One issue that I've noticed, that I also had when I briefly tested the beta, is that I no longer seem to be able to find setting to change the sound of specific labels on Gmail.
Previously on nougat I had this set up so, that only messages under primary will cause sound, others show notification without sound (social, promotions, updates, forums). Has this option been completely removed in Oreo, or just moved elsewhere? Can't find such setting anywhere in Gmail or notification settings now.

Thanks, although I'm either being really stupid, or that's not just the option I'm looking for. I've tried going through that, but there simply is no option to change the label notifications like it was possible on Nougat. I can't select what labels to notify for, but no option to select notification without sound.
Is there something really obvious that I'm missing?
Notifications for Specific Gmail Labels Gone?
I set up filters to sort IMPORTANT emails into specific labels. I relied on that feature heavily to know when an important email came in that I needed to look at. Now it is all or nothing and I'm interrupted constantly by having to look at my phone for every single email. My time is important and I don't want to be interrupted from a client meeting for a stupid coupon or newsletter. But DO NEED TO KNOW when I get something from my BOSS. I am seriously upset. Is this a GOOGLE update, or a SAMSUNG/Android issue? it seamed to start yesterday or the day before right after my upgrade to the new Android Oreo
Really miss the option that I have used for years.
Special label sounds for:
-Important clients.
-My webcam mailing me, etc etc
So, while driving I hear who sends me the mail so I can decide to park the car...
Any workaround?

Nope you are not stupid but a real Gmail user.
Not many people went this deep in Gmail.
First make filter into lable etc etc
It is a real loss. And I see no other options like a different mail client .
