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!

Hey guys, what visual voicemail apps are you using? For some reason I can't find any in the market. I don't know if there's a problem because I've rooted my X10 but it's irritating.
Is anyone here able to download any visual voicemail apps? Do I need to apply any sort of market fix or patch? I am in Canada, BTW. Thank you!
What is a visual voice mail?
It's a voicemail app that allows you to instantly access and play your voicemail without dialing the voicemail number and waiting what seems to be forever.
I usually program my voicemail number to include my password but still.. that's the one thing I miss about my iPhone. I'd just click on my voicemail and immediately play it without waiting forever.
Get Google voice. it will do what you want. It will send you SMS or e-mail with transcribed message.

I want something that accesses the voicemail system and actually interacts with it. It's a front-end basically. I live in Canada too so Google Voice isn't an option. Thank you for trying to help though.

Well, in this case it should be something carrier specific i guess.
So, something provided by Rogers, Fido, Bell, etc.
I don't think 3rd party software has access to voicemails but i might be wrong.
How do you include the password or access code to the voicemail number?
I am with Rogers in Ontario, and when I got my x10 and new data plan.....my voice messages automatically come to me via sms. I am not sure how or why.....but they do

can't you create a contact which contains the "pause" (long press on # I think) and the passcode then create a shortcut on your home screen to it?

This is what I was talking about. Still though, it takes a good while before it actually goes through and the voicemail waiting indicator drives me insane!
I found a few apps in the market but can't access them. I'm at work. I'll post the names later and hopefully another user can test it out. It was so awesome on the iPhone!
did you ever figure this out? i miss it from my iphone too

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.

I know I do the same thing. I have my pic set up but then I use a HTC based rom and it works fine as long as I add my pic in my phonebook.
You have to add your number in additional settings. Go to settings ->callsettings->scroll down to additional settings-> then enter your phone number

Hi everyone. I have the Nexus 5 but I do not have a wifi plan. I have a Google Voice number and I have set up everything for texting and calling and I am using sliding messenger pro as my default texting app but it still does not let me send MMS through it. What apps are there that allow me to send MMS through Google Voice
None, google voice doesn't do MMS (except on Sprint)

Let's be clear. Google Voice doesn't 'do' MMS at all. If someone on Sprint or T-Mobile sends an MMS to your Google Voice number, it will get forwarded to the email address associated to your GV number. You'll get an SMS telling you that an MMS was received. If someone from AT&T or Verizon sends you an MMS to your GV number, it vaporizes into the interwebs.

Yeah, even SMS is broken for many users in Google Voice right now. It seems that many cannot get messages in the new Hangouts if sent from Voice due to a recent update. I don't know if it affects everyone, but it certainly does me. You can still get the Gmail notifications, but I don't get the messages in Hangouts.

Then, attempt to send an mms.
Another option is to flash CM and enable Voice +.
You guys didn't know that?

Does it make u feel good to talk down to people?
We're working towards something. I'm throwing out ideas.
If your not going to contribute, why say anything?
MMS forwarding is essentially what GVoice does & to the best of my knowledge it has to be carrier enabled as well. At this time that includes Sprint & Tmo only, unless something has changed.

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.

ok Thanks!
Aussie user on --> MHA-L29C636B158 here and I've currently got a case going with Huawei for an issue where SMS's sent via Google Voice are not logged to any SMS app. They send successfully but there's no trace of them in Huawei Messaging app or any SMS app.
Have confirmation from another Aus user on same firmware that they have the issue. Wondering if it's a problem on other variants? Can't seem to find the issue mentioned in any posts here on XDA.
Cheers all

To send SMS with GV u either have to use the Google voice app or hangouts. Which one are u using? What do u mean logged? U mean once u hit send it sends but doesn't show in the app?

Yep, the latter. Using Google voice and then voice command "sms contact_name".
Once you've told Google Voice to send the SMS it has indeed been sent successfully but that particular message doesn't exist in any SMS messaging app. Go to Huawei Messaging or any other SMS app such as Android Messages you have installed and the GV sent SMS doesn't exist...

Thanks virtyx. Did uninstall/re-install fix the issue? What firmware r u on? I send and receive sms's from the car a fair bit with Google voice so it's a bit annoying to have no record of sent sms's done with GV. Apart from this am loving the phone Cheers

I'm on stock c636b172
I didn't reinstall don't really need it.
I just use the voice icon in my messaging app to send it, works that way.

Yep righto. Guess I shouldn't be too excited about B172 possibly fixing the issue then! (which I'm hoping to get OTA soon).
If anyone else can comment on if they've seen this issue (or do a quick sms via GV for me to test it) it'd help me hugely with my case with Huawei which is currently moving at a snails pace... Twice already I thought I'd gotten through level 1 but it seems that's where it's still at...
