I am using google voice for my voicemail. It functions like it should except for false voicemail notifications. It will show that I have a new voicemail, but when you click on the notification, it goes to the dialer and there is not a voicemail. The notification goes away, but comes back later. I have searched for a solution with no luck. I am stock rooted with xposed and gravity box. Can anyone help?
Go into Google voice app settings and unchecked view and play voicemail from the phone call log. Then when you get a voicemail you can click the notification and it will download the voicemail mp3 file to your phone.

Thanks for the response. I am trying your advice. How did you figure this out?
I use Google voice as my primary number and had the same issue as you. The feature to play voicemail from the dialer just flat out doesn't work. So I click the link in the notification to download the message to the phone. Then click the download notification, and choose Google play music or Es file Explorer to play it. It's a cumbersome method, but it works.

So I'm not sure where this setting is or how to disable it, but when I slide the slider to answer a call, then a woman's voice says there there is a call from some one and to press 1 to answer or 2 send them a message or something. Is there way to disable it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

This may help.
If you'd like to answer calls to your Google number without pressing any numbers, simply disable call screening in your Google Voice settings. Here's how:
1. Click the gear icon at the top right of any Google Voice page, click the Voice settings link, and select the Calls tab.
2. Select the 'Off' radio button option in the Call Screening section.
3. Click Save Changes.
With call screening turned off, the first phone that picks up will get the call if you have several forwarding phones.
If a voicemail system picks up the call, any message left by the caller will not appear in your Google Voice inbox, and instead appear on the voicemail system that picked up the call (i.e. your home answering machine, your work voicemail system, etc.). You can turn off call screening on a per contact basis in your Contacts list.

Glad to help.
I love using this phone so far, but the one thing I can't stand is I've changed my notification ringtone to the proper one, but hangouts doesnt use it at all. Im assuming hangouts wasn't integrated fully and thats why it doesnt use the notification ringtone as the proper ringtone. Is there a path to the ringtone that hangout uses?
I have no problem backing up that ringtone and replacing it with my custom ringtone. I've had to do this before for earlier versions of android and for iOS. I just need to know where to look.
I will have more time when I get home but tonight will be a long day at work so if anyone see's this and can answer it, I will appreciate it greatly.
Thanks,
Sikh
Ok so the option is actually under settings under the hangouts app. Its Hangouts App > Settings > Sound.
I wish it would be in the actual sound settings like all of the other sound types (Phone, Notificaiton) but oh well.
I love consistency, so I looked where I thought it would make sense and then figured it wasn't implemented. But I went back just now and looked in the settings of the app and realized its right there.

ok, you've found where it is... anyway in this menu you can set it to use the system default so you can change it on system setting and make it change even in hangouts.

You were correct, there is actually no setting to edit the ringtone for voip calls in hangouts through google voice. It sucks.
You could download Zedge.
The bug still exists in Hangouts app 3.0 released today that prevents changing to a custom ringtone. The default Hangouts ringtone is too quiet. Google is such a sloppy software company these days.
How have you guys NOT noticed this yet? The vibrate tick box registers (it turns it on & off), as tested by incoming calls. But changing to any ringtone does NOT register, always ringing with default sound still. Bad Google, very bad, after about 6 months since Hangouts + GV integration in sept 2014, this basic feature is still missing.
If I (or anyone with basic programming skills) had access to the Hangouts source code, it'd take less than an hour to find & fix.
Does anyone know how to change the default program "voice dialer" on the lock screen and replace it with Google Now(search). On my old phone, gnex, i was able to disable "voice dialer" for my blue tooth headset to work. On the m8, there is no voice dialer to disable. If this helps anyone, when the phone is unlocked and i hit the voice button on my Bluetooth, Google now opens. When the screen is locked, voice Dialer opens.
I would also like to know how to change this.

Same. I use a bluetooth headset, I find it incredibly annoying that I can't use Google now when my phone is locked in my pocket. Voice dialler is so crap it can't recognize basic English words.

I use bluetooth launcher from the play store. It does the trick for me. I followed this guide and now I can access Google Now without touching my phone with my bluetooth. http://hackerspace.lifehacker.com/reassign-your-bluetooth-phone-button-to-open-google-n-1507391132
Wanted to bump this to the top-- I tried the solution above and lets just say it wasn't elegant. I'm trying to have it work with my 435i which is actually programmed to play nicely with google now--problem is the M8 boots up voice dialer instead of Google Now.
With the solution above, it will start voice search, and search and give me an answer, but then I have to manually exit google now on the phone before it will let me search again, and even then it's iffy.
Have there been any more developments on this front?

Hello,
I recently convinced my friend (iPhone enthusiast) to give android a try. He constantly uses his wired headset to make voice dials and verbal text messages. With his new HTC One M8, when his phone is locked, instead of Google Now opening form a headset button press, Google Voice launcher opens.
Any luck on getting Google Now to be the default voices search from the lock screen?
For some reason, I don’t get any notification sounds when I receive messages via Google voice. This is my only text service.
I have checked all the settings and even the settings within the GV app. The volume is up all the way.
Yes my speakers work perfectly, but I’m just not notified with a sound when I get a message.
What’s wrong?
Rebump. Quickly getting buried.
Whenever I call someone and they answer the phone vibrates twice. The option to turn it off was available in oneplus dialer but not in Google dialer. Does anyone have any solutions to turn it off? Is it possible to install oneplus dialer with adb instead of rooting?

I use true caller dialer and it has the option for it. The only reason I'd ever switch to google dialer is if I could get call screening to work on 8t

Truecaller is a huge privacy risk. Any other options?

I tried another dialer. Even though setting was off it still vibrated. I think it's a system setting.
Any adb commands that might help?
