Since I got my Z1s a few weeks back I've had an issue with the Google Voice app and the Z1s native phone dialer.
I have always setup the google voice app to ask me everytime I make a call whether I want it to go through google voice or not.
If I set Google voice to "ask every time I make a call" whether to choose between calling through google voice or through the stock dialer, then I cannot use the stock dialer to make a call.
The call simply does not happen and the screen goes back into the dialer as though I had not tried to make a call at all.
The only way I can have the google voice app allow the stock dialer to make calls is to set google voice to "do not use google voice to make calls".
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it?
I did not have this problem on my previous phone (Xperia Z).
I am on the stock 4.4.4 ROM, rooted and deodexed, if that helps.

I updated to the latest preview of Android L to do a little testing on a few apps that i have in the works. While using the phone for dev reasons, i noticed that the ROM was stable enough for everyday use, so i decided to install Google voice, hangouts messenger and setup Google voice to be my voice-mail of choice. This is where i noticed a issue, when i receive a phone call to my Google voice number, everything works great, hangouts app picks up the call, if i decline the call it goes directly to Google voice-mail. Perfect.. The issue is when people (for some reason) call my normal cell number it will ring and go to the normal dialer, but when i decline the call, it'll ring the hangout's messenger app.
Doing some digging i found that Google setup voice-mail a little different between kitkat (and before) to lollipop. There use to be an option to send calls straight to Voice-mail (whatever is set to default) when you'r busy(declined call) or you don't answer(missed call), now there is no option for this, just different options of numbers to forward too. This wouldn't be an issue using normal voice-mail, but when using Google voice it now forwards the calls to your Google voice number when you decline a phone call from your normal cell number... Besides having two voice-mail numbers, i do not see a work around..
Anyone else seeing this issue and have a solution?
Hi,
We do not need a new thread for this, we are trying to keep all L related issues to either this thread here or a good place could be the thread you created here until it is officially released as some of these bugs/flaws could be fixed by then.

So, I received a Z3 Compact the other day. I really like this phone, but the phone will not call out via my GV number. Has anyone had any luck using GV with the Sony Dialer?
I use the Hangouts dialer now when I can, but there are still situations where I need to make a normal cellular call (and using the voice commands on the phone always goes to the stock dialer).
Hello I have my nexus 6 with sprint and intigrated/ported my number to Google voice. I am trying to use hangouts as my stand alone dialer but the problem is when I get calls both the native phone rings and hangouts at the same time. And prevents me from accepting a call. If I use hangouts the stock dialer will still be ringing in the background and if I answer with stock dialer well I won't be using hangouts. I turned off notifications for phone and that works randomly. I went to google voice and disabled forward to phones. I tried to disable stock dialer but that did nothing. When i disabled the other phone related apk's hangouts would jist glitch out or not connect. Side note when hide notifications is working the stick phone doesn't ring or interfere with hangouts but I still see a notification that I missed a call even though o answered with hangouts. So yea anyone else with this issue or know a fix?
anyone know how to disable/remove the voicemail app and replace it with google voice?
My experience is you cannot disable the Sprint voicemail.
So, I just installed Google Voice and use that instead. I see that the Sprint Voicemail is still running, but all my calls go to Google Voice. So it's a bit of a waste of memory by forcing me to run the Sprint Voicemail instead of just disabling, but I don't see any way around that until our phones get root.
Anyone else know how to force an app to be disabled? Only some default apps seem to let you disable, and Sprint Voicemail doesn't seem to be one of them.
Do you only need instructions to forward vm to google voice /hangouts?

Debloater will let you disable system files.
Yes I'm can't seem to figure out how to use Google voice for my voicemail
Load voice and hangouts. If voice is already loaded, clear the cache and data.
Launch voice, select the proper username for voice. Select no incoming or outgoing calls. You will then get a gray config box. If it doesn't launch your dialer, finish the install then open the dialer. Enter *28 and your google voice number (ie *285555555555) and press send. You will hear two quick dial tones. This forwards calls that are not picked up and routes to voice. From a desktop go to voice.goole.com. Press the sprocket. Select the option to forward all messages to email (not text).
Back on phone, disable all notifications in voice (as Google Voice redirects data to hangouts). If you don't disable, you will get dual notifications. Run hangouts, set your notifications. Disable calls from hangouts to ring the phone, unless you want that.
Once everything is groovy, hide icon for Sprint voicemail if you are not rooted.
I had no issues at all just enabling google voice as always. No Sprint voicemail at all.
If you use google voice and don't want it fully integrated with your sprint number then be careful. Just skip any integration stuff when you first run it. Then it will give you a phone number to call to forward your voicemail to google voice.
While some might like the full integration I prefer to be able to switch between using my cell number or my google voice number on the fly.
this device's Skinned OS has issues with Google Voice.....
it states "call not sent" when trying to connect using Google Voice app, and routes call through normal number
must use Hangouts for GV calling no integration with phone app,
gorgeous phone, that kills it
hopefully we can get CyanogenMod 13/14 for this thing.. :/
Yeah the lack of google voice support is a real pain with this device. As a dedicated voice user I've spent a lot of time searching and hacking around with it trying to get the best functionality I could. Here's the best solutions I've come up with
Voicemail
I have managed to get conditional call forwarding to work to push my calls to my google voicemail using mmi codes, the settings in the dialer app were useless for this. The following mmi code is what did it for me, it seemed that changing the ring delay was important too which is the last number in the code.
Open the dialer and type in the following code replacing the xyz with your google voice number. The phone should tell you it's running an mmi code, that it was successful and that the ring time was changed as well.
**004*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*25# (replace the xyz with your google voice number)
Making Calls
So far there is no true solution for this but this is the best workaround I've come up with so far. Other than using the hangouts dialer app which uses data for calls (not ideal unless you're on wifi)
1. Go into settings > accessibility and turn on the toggle for power button ends call
2. Make sure google voice is set to ask on every call. google voice settings > Making calls > Ask every time I make a call
3. make a call as normal from the dialer but as soon as the call starts hit the power button to end the call
4. the gv menu will still be up asking you whether you want to use google voice or your carrier number
5. select google voice and the dialer will complete the call with your gv number
It's not the most convenient solution but it works until (hopefully) something better comes along
hey guys, not sure if this is helpful but I flashed the stock modded GV apk (you can find it here on XDA, won't let me post links). After that, using the GV interface if you go thru history and click on the phone # through there, it will work as intended and make calls using the GV #. I guess you'll just have to use the GV app as your contacts and dial thru there.
