Spring Hangouts 4.4 - Moto X Q&A

Is the voicemail issue fixed in the official 4.4 update. I had 2 quit using hangouts on 4.2 because it was intercepting voicemail SMS codes.

Google voice vs you mail

Has anyone left google voice for you mail?
What's you mail??

Never heard of it, but I am a big fan of Google Voice integration with Sprint so it would take a lot to get me to switch.

I've been using youmail forever. I didn't like how Google voice did my phone calls and texts. Youmail is the ****.

I haven't used YouMail since I had a BlackBerry back in 2008. Haha.
Do they still charge for voicemail transcription? Because that would be the dealbreaker for me. Even if Google Voice does a poor job transcribing...it's free.

You mail seems to be the pre cursor to voice, it works well but they do charge for transcriptions

Left for youmail months ago and haven't looked back. Voice integration with sprint was horrible (no mms killed it). Love you mail, but do miss the transcription.

Sprint Integration is optional. When you first set up GV just press "skip" and use GV for voicemail only. If you already did the integration, goto google.com/voice and cancel the integration and start over

I have 2 quick questions about gvoice. When I recieve a voicemail and go to the phone app it is in the inbox and the voicemail folder as well is this correct?
also im getting voicemails that are unable to be transcribed also is this also to be expected ? Thanks

Did at&t purposely hose google voice on this phone?

One thing that has always drove me nuts about this phone is google voice. On my captivate it was cake to setup. Install the app log in, and go through setup and your good. On my vivid however you get an error when trying to switch voicemail provider to google voice. There is a workaround and I did that, it forwards voicemails to google voice instead of the default AT&T number. However the app doesn't sync right, it never notifies me anymore. I think att purposely hosed it so we had to use there crappy paid visual voicemail service.

K I uninstalled it and reinstalled and went through setup again and its working fine now. We'll see if it lasts

I had similar issues at the beginning. It's working OK now.
So what's this work-around for the voicemail? I'd like to know.
Change all the voice mail forwarding numbers to your Google Voice number, and google voice should work as its supposed to

What was the work around? Is like to use GV as voicemail.

See my previous post. Pretty much if yours isn't notifying than uninstall it and reinstall. Then go through set up as usual. After it fails to change your settings, go in and change your forwarding numbers from atts voice mail number to your Google voice number and should work.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda app-developers app
So does the call then forward to GV as a call, or does it forward to GV as just the voicemail? I'm still hazy on the subject. I've already changed my forwarding numbers.
Sent from my HTC Vivid using XDA Premium
Just make sure always forward is disabled

Except the AT&T VVM is free for people with LTE plans, so....
I wasn't aware either way it's rubbish bloatware, and I'd rather use my Google voice.

Google voice is fixed

The problem with Google voice force closing in 4.2 has been fixed. I just downloaded the update and it now works.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Exellent! Thanks for the update. I am impressed with how quickly developers are fixing application issues.
What was wrong with it?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It would force close if you went into it to send a text message.

Voice is screwed on my phone -
Was using voice for texting and voice mail. Have texting blocked through AT&T.
Now with the update, voice is requiring that my phone send a text through AT&T to set up voice.
I can't send the text becuase texts are blocked.
Any way around this so I can just get back to using voice the way I did before the update?

Final 4.4 dialer.

For those of you on Verizon that got the update for Kit Kat, does the phone dialer include the ability to search for businesses in the dialer itself? I'm on the leak for AT&T right now and all seems to work except that feature
Sent from my XT1058 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I just installed 4.4 and the dialer will only search existing contacts...
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app
yep, same here
Someone needs to figure this out!
Is the feature supposed to search the phone book?
Sent from my XT1058 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
if you search via name... it'll find the phone number.
but if you search via t9 method; then it wont do it.
Yup only searches existing contacts.
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app
And it doesn't search business listings on inbound calls I don't think. Can't someone port the dialer now that we have the right framework?
Not sure if Motorola rushed the update for the press, or if Google's hogging all the features for the Nexus 5...

Pebble with SMS notifications via hangouts

Trying to see if pebble can get notifications only from SMS within the hangouts app while gchat is active as well. As of now, I've had to go back to a 3rd party SMS or a 3rd party notification, wasn't sure if I missed something between the pebble and SMS thru hangouts. Thanks

I actively use hangouts and get SMS and MMS fine.

When I get MMS in hangouts, it just says 'Picture'.
What am I doing wrong?
That's what you are supposed to get. You won't get a picture on your watch.
