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?
Hello I have the EVA09 and like it so far, but 3 things makes it bad
1. using classsic telephone service is slow and bad quality. To start ringing it takes most between 10 and 40 seconds. Every so often it stops the dial prcess after that time. even i have 2 or 3 bars . If than finaly connected interruption misserable voice quality is Standard and makes it unusable for any business purpose (the great camera just can't talk)
2. the Standard Android funktion under Telphone options to add a aco**** for internet calling (SIP account) is missing. Is this a bad joke Huawei ??
3. The T-mobile Feature , WIFI Calling is not available. Who wonders after cut down on a feature as described under 2.
Any words from the comunity how this problems can be fixed ? different rom ? or some fixes for this ?
Thanks a lot
REinhard
As far as I have been told, the model has to be certified by your operator to get VoLTE and HD voice over 3G.
My operator hasn't allowed this yet. (Telenor DK)
I just found out that T-Mobile Germany sells it with the firmaware EVA-L09C150B140 CUSTDEUD004 and update availabe EVA-L09C150B150 CUSTDEUD004, THis would be the key i guess. anybody has this Firmware ?
Any news to this thread WIFI Calling
Hello , since the phone does not support WIFI Calling, Free Texting in the Plane (GOGOAIR) is not possible either, Tmobile requires a WIFI CALL first ....
Nice Camera, but to use it as a phone would be helpfull (phone modul is the worst i had for over 10 years ) Voice quality, connection time, etc.

Really, I find that the phone is amazing - maybe it's different expectations - but it holds signal really well, the voice quality sounds great to me too. I would say phone calls is one of the things that this phone does best for me. Sorry to hear that you are having problems.
Maybe there is quality control problems, there is another guy on Reddit who has bluetooth issues, but I haven't had a single issue on that 7 things that I have connected from phone to, from my laptop, to my car to several speakers or my Moto 360 - all have been flawless. Much better than the LG G4 was for me.

Thanks for the answer, might worth to return it and get an exchange.
Use App from store called QuickShortcutMaker
- install App
- launch App
- at Search type "sip " there shall be a space in the end
- Press Try/Launch
- voila
If you configure SIP account, later at Settings / Wireless & Networks / Call Settings, you are able to choose Phone account settings.
Calling out is working, confirmed
Though the menu Sip Settings at the lower region of Phone account settings page is missing on my Emui 8 Oreo P9 (AL10) which once was a Emui 7 Nougat P9 (L19)
so the function about Receiving Calls is missing.
on the other hand with my Note 4 running LineageOS 15.1 Oreo 8.1 , this SIP settings part is available, still calls are not received.
Question, if someone got still Nougat on P9, do you see in Phone account settings the lower part called SIP settings where you can configure Incoming calls and switch it on for Receiving Calls?

I have a second P9 with custom ROM Magic Rainbow (MR) v4 by @Tecalote.
It was based on L09/L19 c432 b398, he added some things (Magisk, K-Settings, Viper4Android) but otherwise the Settings, Phone/Dialer, etc. must be the same as on the stock Nougat/EMUI 5
1) I have no Call Settings under the Settings
2) I can open phone/call Settings only from Dialer app, three dots menu, Settings - and it looks similar to as on Oreo AL10 c00 b540
(On Oreo, Phone Settings can be opened both from general Settings and from Dialer app, three dots menu - here, on Nougat, MR v4, only from Dialer, three dots menu)
3) But in the phone/call Settings (Dialer app, three dots menu), there is no Account (SIP) Settings option
4) By the same procedure like on Oreo:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79552304&postcount=1748
I can add SIP account, and SIP account menu looks just like on Oreo, there is no section about incoming (SIP) calls
5) However, even when I added SIP account by Package Manager (or by Quick Shortcut Maker), there is still no Account Settings option at the bottom of phone/dialer Settings
6) In adding/editing a Contacts, under Add Additional Field, there is no option Internet call, hence I cannot test making an outgoing call like on Oreo
If @ogisha is willing to check, AFAIK, he has still the stock Nougat c432 b504 - does he have some SIP (Account) Settings, or the same like described above for MR v4 ROM

Usage is described here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79552304&postcount=1748
But on Oreo, there is "Internet call" option on Additional field for Contacts, making it possible to make outgoing VoIP calls to the SIP account

I do not have "Internet call" option in Contacts / Dialer.
Maybe I will get it after I set up SIP account.
EDIT: Unfortunately, I could not activate "WiFi calling".

I just checked the settings in Phone App by Google LLC on Lineage OS 16.0 on my Note 4
all settings about sip calling are available there
Hello,
I have Note8 with Android 9 and I need to connect to SIP (VoIP) server to receive calls.
What I have done:
1. I installed 3 app: Galaxy SIP Settings, Galaxy SIP Accounts, Galaxy SIP Outbound Call Helper.
Galaxy SIP Accounts app - correctly connected to my SIP account. Theoretically app tell me, that recive calls should work. However, this does not work.
Galaxy SIP Settings - this application won't start, message: "Opps - the activity for SIP settings could not be found on this phone".
Galaxy SIP Outbound Call Helper - when I click button "Calling accounts", the phone goes to Dialer > 3 dots > Settings > Other Calls settings > Callings Accounts > All calling Accounts > Here I see data of my SIP accounts and it is activated.
After that, I can call from my phone by SIP number, but any call does not come to my phone.
2. So I instaled another app: QuickShort-cutMaker. I found Activities:
Phone Services > Sip Settings > com.android.services.telephony.sip.sipsettings
and
com.android.serices.telephony.sip.SipPhoneAccountSettingsActivity
but when I click "Ceate" nothing happen. Maybe I don't know where i should look for it?
3. The last app what I install is MizuDroid. And in this app Reciving and outgoing calls working. But... when I left the phone for few minutes with screen off, the app stop work and calls not reciving I have disabled energy saving for this application but still, few minutes with screen off and app dosnt work.

Any other ideas? Becouse of this coronavirus happening, I working at home, and I need reciving calls from work phone...
