Setting Hangouts As Default Dialer

Is this possible? I have a non activated T-Mobile sim in the 2014 Moto X Pure Edition on 5.0
I only use google voice with hangouts to make and receive calls. I want to be able to hit a number online and have it call with Hangouts. Instead it only give me the option to call with the default dialer or Viber. I have SMS set as default so I recieve that directly through Hangouts. Not sure what im doing wrong with the dialer.

Anybody?

Hangouts dialer just updated today to allow to set it as default when tapping on numbers on websites.

Hangouts Dialer As Default Bug - How to properly file a bug report upstream?

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?

google voice

ok google voice completely took over my phone. it used to be with my nexus 4 and 5 i would have the app installed and i was able to make calls with either my google voice number or my actual cell number now its just my google number... is there any way around this? i really dont want to get rid of google voice but if there is no workaround i will have to

Are you fully integrated? I had problems with GV a few months back. Had to disable completely through the .com and then removed the app. After that I reinstalled the app and did not do full integration. In rereading the other poster's comments I think you were right, it sounds like he was referring to the app not the .com. My bad.

Try deleting the Apps cache and data and that should start setup again.

yup i probably gotta uninstall and not integrate i think i did that thanks guys

fixed it. it was integrated with sprint pressed ok too fast or something when i first set it up i got it set up the way i like thanks guys

Uninstall voice then reboot. Then reinstall. When configuring (normal setup it does) you will be giving an option to choose when google voice makes calls. I choose "international only" and now my normal cell number is active but hangouts dialer works for gvoice number.
There is also an option in hangouts to ring voice directly to hangouts. Uncheck it if you want.

How can I remove stock dialer and messenger and install Google dialer successfully?

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

Question Incoming calls not showing names

Hi,
I've recently moved from a Galaxy S21 to the Pixel 7.
Ever since, on my new Pixel, incoming calls (it might be for specific callers, still unsure) will not show their names, only the numbers!
Later on, on the recent calls list, their names will appear perfectly.
When the incoming call is just a popup over another app, or through notifications, it would actually show the name.
My headphones would even say the name of the caller with the incoming call.
But the phone app would only show a number.
Attaching screenshots.
I've tried already to clear both cache & data of the phone app.
Any suggestions are welcome!

In your contacts (address book app) are the numbers exactly the same as what is shown in the call log? No + or ( ) ?
Are you using the Google contacts app?
That's my only thought.

Hmm, thanks, I usually have people saved with their country code, and this shows just the local number..
I've tried adding now for one of them also the number without the country code, and funny enough even the popup now doesn't show their name :sss
I have the google contact app, though I'm not sure that's what's used by default on the pixel.
I've tried now to merge some 500 contacts through the google contacts app, it's said it'll take some while before it's reflected on my phone, will check again later if that's made any difference.

i had a similar issue when receiving sms messages and calls. i disabled the chat feature in the messaging app which solved the problem for me.

Does the phone app have permissions for Contacts? Did you try stopping the phone app, clearing the storage, and then reopen it?
