I use my nexus 5 for work and I receive a lot of calls. I need to look up a call log from a number that was not saved as a contact. Dial up seems to just search saved contacts and nearby places.
Most phones you can dial the number and the call log will appear but the nexus 5 won't do that. Any suggestions?

Just push the clock sign on the left below next to the dialer to see the call history.

I know about the clock but the call history is a huge list since I first used the nexus.
I don't know the exact date of the call so why can I just search for the number in the phone app using the search bar?

I don`t think you can search in the dialer for recent numbers, maybe there is an dialer in Play that has that option.

I just installed the Google Voice app and I am wondering maybe I am just blind or does it not work on the EVO.
http://www.google.com/mobile/voice/
My google APP does not look anything like that... I don't even have a DIAL PAD within the application...
All I want to do is have it installed so that I can make international calls, thats all...
Thanks!
I believe with the current app you use the phones keypad, and when you press send it ask you if u want to use your google voice number or your regular cell number to complete the call.

Yes, this is set within the app. "make all calls with voice, all int calls, no calls, or ask". The dialer you are seeing in that picture is the nexus one, which runs stock android. The dialers are different..
That dialer is for the web version of the app for phones that dont have a native application like the palm pre and iphone.

Hey guys, hope I'm posting this in the right forum. I searched all threads with the words Google voice and searches some other forums but not having much luck.
So I just set up my Google voice yesterday, and my carrier is Iwireless, a T-Mobile affiliate. I was able to switch my voicemail to Google, called the number set up my password and greeting. I had someone leave a message which I did receive on my new Google voicemail whrn i called but it never showed up in my inboxs visual voicemail with a transcript or anything at all.
I tried to call my carrier but as you can imagine they couldn't offer much help for an app. They did tell me they do not offer visual voicemail but I don't think that should matter since it's Google offering the visual voicemail, correct?
I've been itching for visual voicemail ever since experiencing it on my old iPhone and would love to get this working but am finding it hard to get the answers or support I need. I find the Google voice site lacking as it only offers a download link and automated troubleshooter asking common questions.
Any help or pointers are much appreciated and lastly in case you need to know I am using the nexus one.
Thanks.
Does it show up on voice.google.com when you log in on a computer?

That is your google voice #.
Do you see the voicemail you received in the GV web app? (not the native app on your phone)
Hit menu on your google voice app, go to labels and you can pick what you want to see. voicemail, sms, etc...

Nope. But when I call my Google voice number I can year the msg.
And as for the next poster I've went to labels in the app, tried to display all, or just voicemails its not showing up anywhere
Actually I'm sorry guys but when I call my voicemail the message isn't showing up either but I just had a friend leave a msg and notifcatiin bar says I have a msg and to call my voicemail
Just wanted to say the issue has been solved. I now see why they say this is 1 of the best android apps.
Mods can delete this thread thanks.

To add a pic you have to add yourself to your phonebook. The voice mail number is your phone number. Just add it in the blank area. These are common things with CM based roms

Ok an dumb question but you did add a pic to it right? To be honest I am not sure other then that as I dont use CM based roms due to signal needs
It never crossed my mind to want to see my own pic on texts...lol but I just tried and it didn't work. I don't think you can on the included messenger. Maybe try gosms? (Its been a while since I've used gosms. You could always convince the person to use an app like gtalk, kakaotalk, or palringo for your messaging needs.
I got your 10 char right here

Due to security concerns I would advise handcent. Could be an issue with the messaging app and contact apparently intergeation.

You have to add your number in additional settings. Go to settings ->callsettings->scroll down to additional settings-> then enter your phone number

Is there a way to send contacts directly to voicemail on the stock dialer or contact apps? I looked in all the settings and couldn't find a way.

You mean automatically without deny the call? I don't think so. I know if you add them to block list it just tells them your number is no longer in service. You could turn airplane mode on and that would accomplish it and you can manually turn on WiFi still and use the device.

Mr. Number in the play store is your best bet.
Yeah automatically like the aosp dialer. I'll check out Mr. Number thanks.
Update.... I found it. It's under settings-Call-Call Reject
Thanks for the help!

So, I posted this on a google forum and had a look across XDA in general, but either the silence is deafening, very few people have noticed (or care) or no one has an answer?
It's bugging me, so I'm hoping someone here might know or at least offer some suggestions..
Trying to use Voice Search to create and send an SMS message to one of my contacts exposed really weird behavior in Android...
** Contacts set up correctly with properly formatted phone numbers and defaults set. I'm in the UK but often travel so want to set up numbers
for people in the standard format e.g. +44 7973 XX XX XX
** I can dial the number exactly as formatted and the call goes through
** I can send an SMS from Hangouts.. BUT when I select a contact and their number appears as an option to SMS to.. the "leading" +44 (country code) gets
stripped out by Hangouts and a "0" is added in (to be compliant with the format for dialing within a country I guess).
So +44 7973 XX XX XX appears as 07973 XX XX XX - and this works fine!
** When using Voice search to create and send an SMS however, the number that appears on screen that it's trying to send to is the *exact* number
from the phone book - that is, the country code is NOT stripped out - so different from how the hangouts app displays it.. and the message fails to
send as a result.
So, it seems as though Google deliberately re-format the phone number for SMS when you do it through Hangouts, but not when you use Voice
(even though that message does get sent through Hangouts ultimately?)
The only solution I can think of, is to go through and remove the +Country Code prefix from all of my contacts, to ensure
that SMS via Voice Search will work consistently... What's going on?!?!? Anyone got any ideas ? Its not an obvious bug, but its definitely there..
Anyone?!

I can't talk about hangouts because I don't use it, nor voice.... but +44 should not fail to send SMS. All my frequently contacted contacts are +44 and send fine, without being changed or stripped out.
Please wait 24 hours before bumping threads

Sorry, will do in future. But thank you for replying
I agree with you that having +44 in the number shouldn't fail when sending SMS, but Hangouts definitely re-formats the number and I have to wonder
if it does that for a reason. Does the number displayed on the SMS app you do use, display the full number then when compared against the same
number in your contacts?
I'm going to install something like Handcent and see what that does (of course all bets are off ifthe app re-formats the number "internally" but displays
the unchanged number to the user). The only reason I've noticed this odd behaviour is because Hangouts makes it reasonably obvious that something
is going on.

Yes the number in the default messaging app displays the same as in contacts and dialer. In full with +44 7*
It's been a while since I used KitKat stock, but does it not have the standard messaging app included, that lets you change to that? Lollipop does.

Yeah, I tried Handcent SMS, that didn't modify the number either and the SMS sent just fine. I guess why Hangouts modifies the number
for SMS when other apps don't, is for some mysterious reason Google has cooked up.
However, the "problem" is most definitely with the implementation of Voice Search for creating SMS (I only fell onto this thing because I wanted to - more safely -
send/reply to the occasional SMS whilst driving). Basically, it doesn't matter what SMS app is set as default.. creating a message and sending
by Voice Search just won't work if the number in your contacts has a +44 in it.. from the testing I've done anyway. The moment I edit the number
against the contact to just have an 0 (and re-sync Google Contacts), Voice Search created SMS's work...
(Also, whatever SMS app is the default always appears as an "Open Message in XXXX" after the Voice Search created SMS has been sent. If you click on it,
it takes you into the app but you can't see the most recently sent message in the message thread if the number is +44)
Perhaps you could give it a go with a +44 contact "Ok Google, Send text to XXXXX, Message, YYYYYY" ??
..aaaaand, I'm done. Any thoughts?

Say's sent, but when I open the messaging app, there is a Red triangle... When I open the existing message thread, it only shows THAT failed message. When I delete that message, the rest of the thread becomes available.
So yeah I guess it fails the same way

Dunno but I'm using the latest Lollipop preview released last week or two...
By the sounds of things.. for some time then if you're on Lollipop. I guess people either don't use Voice for that much (at all?), or haven't put two and two together enough for it to be something that's made its way back to Google to add to their fixes

...or only have nationally formatted numbers instead of international...
True. Though out of curiousity I'd love to know why Hangouts does do a number re-format.. as a completely separate thing..
Not sure if this is related as I am UK based like you (so not really sure what it is) but google voice doesn't send texts to international numbers. I wonder if google now has some voice aspects built in and if hangouts is configured to allow sending through voice if you're subsribed? Hence the number changing? and possibly failures?
Manually sending SMS messages using a 3rd party app to numbers formatted for international dialing works. Going "via Google" be it using Voice Search or Hangouts, only works with internal numbers...
I think you might be onto something... :|

Good to know.. but not when creating and sending SMS via Voice Search (so far I think we've established that unless contact numbers are reformatted and re-synced to omit the +44 and reinstate the 0, then
it can't be used for SMS)

Correct.
Manual through Stock SMS > +44 > OK
Manual through Hangouts > Convert to 0 > OK
Voice Command through anything > +44 > FAIL

..and to close things out, I received an auto-generated sms from my network saying..
"Yesterday you sent a message to an invalid number. UK mobile numbers start with 07 or +447. Numbers starting with 447 without the leading + are invalid"
So that pretty much confirms that whatever mechanism Voice Search uses to try and send texts is broken and doesn't/can't parse the + in a contact's phonenumber
where as the SMS apps do (probably due to the reasons you posted above)
