Is there anyway to change the stock dialer from default and make something else like google voice the default?
Yes, just install the Dialer you want from Play Store and you can change the default application in the Settings.
Google Phone/Dialer does not seem to be available for 3T though, at least is blocked for me.
That will not work. Even if you disable the stock dialer it will still open when you get a call

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?
I Have installed the Google Dialer apk and set permissions correctly and contacts apk also. My bug is when making a call or receiving a call both dialers pop up and are in use st the same time. How can I disable or remove the stock OOS dialer with no force closes?
Google dialer is unstable.
Provided you already successfully have Google Dialer installed:
1. Disable in call UI (system app)
2. Set relevant dialer as default. (Search 'default apps' in Settings)
If it doesn't work, you may be lacking the Google Dialer Framework since it's not included in OOS:

You'll have to root though
I recently got rid of my cell plan and I am using textfree. I set it as my default but it still tries to go through verizon when I use google assistant. Is there a way to bypass that dialer for my textfree one? Same with text.
I have the last PureNexus rom on my Nexus 6. I would like to block a spam number that keeps calling, but when I google how to block a number, all the instructions I can find mention settings and options that don't appear in the stock Google phone app. What can I do?
First, you need to make sure the dialer is set as the default in Settings. Once you do that, you should be able to go into the recent calls list, tap on the number, and you should see an option to block it. The instructions you're finding through Google all are assuming the Google dialer is installed, and its settings and options are different from the Pure Nexus dialer.
Ah, I hadn't set it as the default dialer, even though it is the only one installed. I did that and now blocking works. Thanks!
I use 'Textra' as my SMS messaging app and have set it as the default in settings, but after a restart notice it doesn't stick and I have to set it as default again.
Anyone else have this issue and is there a fix? Thanks.
I use Messages instead of the default Messaging app and it sticks.
Global EU ROM v2.09 here
The phone is dumb when you switch default apps because of the gaming mode. It's a bug. Email support. It also will bug out if you attempt to install a new launcher, until you go in and manually change it.
So until the bug is fixed, use:
Settings
Apps and Notifications
Default Apps

Yes I have the same issue as well, I use Google Messages and every time I restart my phone it keeps going back to the stock messaging app.
Hi,
Same problem here : Textra doesn't stick...
Regards.
I was using Swype keyboard, but it kept reverting to GBoard.
I thought it was a Pie thing, but maybe not.
Anyway, I read something about adding apps that you want to stick as default apps to Game Space...
Is that a thing?

After disabling default apps the apps do stick to what u set as default
Disabling the stock messaging app, after setting Google Messages as default, stops the stock app from taking over after reboot.
