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).

has anyone done it ?
how does voice work? does it use data?
i used it all the time on my G1 when i had it. but it sends from your google voice number, not your t-mobile, so make sure that people have that number or they will be getting your texts from a number they may not recognize.
The google voice app for the ipod touch natively detects that the device is not a phone and so you can't directly make call with it. Instead you can dial a number and the app will then initiate a call to the phone number that you have linked to the account and then call the number that you dialed in google voice. I need to make my nook color do the same thing. It doesn't work that way though. Instead it gives you an error and it force closes. I am using phiremod 5.3. Any help is appreciated
I also use Google Voice to do texting - wish I could get GV to work on the nook as well.
can you text using GV on the nook color?
You can text with it, yes.

I do text with it using Google voice. I use my google voice number as my business number. I text people all day using my nook. It works pretty well (I actually wish that I could use handcent to text while still using my GV number, but that is another issue entirely). Occasionally though, I would like to call some of the people that I am texting. So I either have to call them with my normal cell phone and just type in their number, but this way they get my cell number on their Caller ID and so they don't know that I am calling them, or I have to do the whole process of dialing my GV number and going through the prompts to enter in the number I want to call.
All I want to do is click on a number in Google Voice and have it call my cell phone and connect through google voice automatically. Right now my only option is to use the web-based interface to do this. Even though this is exactly what the ipod touch google voice app does. (I totally know that the ipod touch OS and android are obviously way different things, I am just saying). I would think that there would be a way to work around this. If not, google should make it so that there is the option of having GV call my cell number to initiate the call.
Being relativley new to the NC . How would one use this for a call. Is there a way to get voice into the unit? I am interseted if it can work but everything i have read so far does not show voice capability.
Any feed back would be appreciated.

if you ever use google voice a lot you will understand the question. no you can't talk through the nook using google voice. to do that requires a "full" voip like Skype. he wants to use the nook as a fancy dialer.
As for me i've just been using the web interface which is slow and buggy

Thank you for the clarification
if you just wanted to text and google voice is not working for you - try textfree
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.

I use my Google Voice number for everything. Currently I have to make and receive calls via Hangouts and Hangouts Dialer.
Does anybody know of a way to integrate the Google Voice number into the primary phone? I would rather use the built-in Dialer, similar to Project Fi.

call your provider, have them change your number to your google voice number? you cant use it other ways. it doesnt provide data, nor have a provider, so youd never be able to use it. if you have data, then you can use it. data doesnt come from the amazing data man.

I'm not saying to replace the primary number on my sim card. That's what I use for unlimited data. I just wish there were a way to select which number to use when using the stock dialer - tell it to dial with my GV number instead of sim number. Google Hangouts lets you do that.
My son does that. Install the Google voice app and set it up such that you use google voice for all calls. It's really quite easy to set up. None of us know remember his carrier number. Only his Google voice number

I totally forgot about the GV app. Yes, this will work. The ONLY downside is the GV app still uses my VZW plan minutes where Hangouts Dialer doesn't (its strictly data). So I have to balance the two since I'm capped to 700 minutes per month, which I rarely use.
