Hello guys, until few days ago everytime I had to make a call the dialer would ask me if I wanted to use the "normal phone" or Skype, now it dials with my telephone provider straight away and do not ask about Skype...which was very useful for me because I'm living abroad and I call my parents often. I've checked the dafault apps and there is no app set as default for the Phone (dialer), Ive even rested all the default apps and re installed Skype. By the way, im Running Kitkat 4.4.2 on a galaxy s3
thank you so much in advance.

has anyone succesfully used viber on their note 10.1 from verizon? The main problem is that I cannot activate because the tablet cannot receive text messages or even calls.
I'm not a Viber user, but it looks like you can only call other Viber users on Android. I would suggest installing Groove IP after you set up a free Google Voice number and then you need only input you Google Voice account info without worrying about VOIP settings. In addition to being able to make phone calls, you'll be able to get free text messages via Google Voice. The staff at Groove IP went out of their way to solve a VOIP issue created when JB 4.1.2 rolled out, buying a Note to have the ability to resolve the problem. Here's a link to their post with a download link to the modified Groove IP program for the Note running JB. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107867&page=5&highlight=groove+ip Here's their download link. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8eaPs_MnhKoS2tYV2NKWW9pYVU/edit?usp=sharing if you like the program, support the developer by buying their paid version and thanking them in the thread I've linked. They really went out of their way to quickly fix an issue they didn't create, which happens a lot with OS updates.
I don't know verizon device...
But I did activate my friend N7000 without simcard attached to it. The simcard was at another phone.
Basically it will just send msg to the number you registered. Where the simcard is, it doesn't matter.
I did this around 6 months ago, I m not so sure whether it is still working with current viber updates or not.
U can try.

Hello! This is my first post here, I hope I'm putting it in the right place.
I got a unlocked HTC One Mini a few weeks ago, and I can't seem to dial out with google voice. When I try to have GV intercept outgoing calls from the dialer, the screen goes black and then just returns to the dialer. If I change it to ask every time, it enters a loop where it keeps asking me if I want to use GV, which I can't escape without selecting not to.
I have tried multiple dialing apps, and the same thing happens with all of them. GV worked fine on my old phone, so I don't think it's anything with my GV account. I have reinstalled gv, and tried to dial out with hangouts disabled. Neither changed anything. I even tried reverting to the default theme pack.
I found a thread that describes a similar issue, but it was never answered and the last post is a year ago. Sorry if I should have posted there instead

I'm on a t-mobile prepaid plan, and I know I have minutes, because I can dial out using my phone's native phone number.
I am running CyanogenMod version 11-20140725-NIGHTLY-m4.
Thanks for any advice
Hi, from time to time people call me who actually want to talk a colleague of me. Therefore it would be useful to redirect the running call to someone else. I have contacted my provider (1&1 Germany) but they don't have such a service. Is there a way to do that on android? I use CyanogenMod 12.1 on my Nexus 5.
PS: I've tried to open a conference an leave it after my colleague picked up but that kills the connection between every caller.
How many of you experiencing this too? I literally just switched back to Android specifically to use Google Voice, ported my number back over to Google, bought a Note Edge and upgraded it to 5.1.1 immediately (stupid). Found out GV outgoing calls are broken.
This is a known issue and google says they're working on it (https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/voice/urpXxSfS-kE) but it's definitely irritating.
Yep..same thing here!

I am using GV to make weekly International calls, better to pay $0.07/minute than T-Mobile's $1.25/minute!!!
But since 5.1.1 it's broken....Here is the solution (in the mean while), that I have been using - and it's working again.
Say you want to call the number: 000-123-4567
Say your own GV-number is 111-222-3333
Reprogram the contacts you need to call from GV, with the number in this format:
111-222-3333 , , your-passcode# , 2 , 000-123-4567#
This will dial your own GV number, will prompt you for your passcode followed by #-sign, Option 2 will allow you to make calls, followed by #.
Each ',' is a few seconds delay - I have not tried it without the delays, but it also makes it easier to understand (for us humans).
Ya, no thanks. That's just a huge hassle.
Same problem here Google Voice does not work on the Note 4
I've got the same problem with the Note 4 (not the Edge version). I'm thinking this is an Android 5.1.1. problem. I never had this before I did the upgrade to 5.1.1.
What I see happening is this:
- You dial to make the call.
- I have Google Voice set up to ask me each time
- While the prompt for Google Voice is on top of the dialer, I see the dialer is already making the call.
So the dialer is not waiting for GV before making the call.
I'm trying to find out how I can go back to the previous version of Android, but so far it looks like I'm not able to do this.
I have a t-mobile Note 4. Hopefully t-mobile will release their 6.x version and that will fix this issue.
Hi guys
Just wandering if anyone can throw some light on the reason my gear s3 refuses to voice dial, it understands my request no issues and displays the command on the screen
" Call dave" for example, the s3 hears it, displays it correctly
there is one contact with dave who has 1 number assigned
the s3 thinks for a second or 2 then displays " i did not get that" or " who do you want to call" it simply refuses to read contacts
stupid thing, it just displayed everything it needed but it just refuses to work, initially i thought contacts would be transferred to the watch, now i realise its a server thing but this has been like this now for a week since i got it so i cant see it being a server down issue
The phone i am using is a S7 edge with latest update and it is not running anything other than standard firmware and a square home from end, which is the w10 look
i tried resetting the watch but no joy, i tried changing the watch language to US no joy, checked the phone is syncing contacts to samsungs storage
and doing a search on the net actually brings up very little info on this issue
has anyone got any thoughts, here in the Uk having a device that voice dials whilst driving is a real must, i have BT in the car but dialing it is a pain so the watch would be a real help... if it would freakin work
TBH i wish i could use Cortana for voice assist, but that aint gona happen
The more i try different voice commands the more the issue points to lack of sync with contacts... what am i missing ?? just tried to send a text via voice and the s3 watch cant find any contacts
Hmm i had an almost whilst messing with the thing just now, i changed language from English auto to just English... now when i ask it to call a name the watch displays ( Contacts syncing ) that is as far as i have got, it still refuses to dial anyone, and checking my contacts in the watch they are all there
i have a similar issue, when I say call XXX, its then says "syncing contacts" and sites there, If manually go into contacts and call someone its fine, why it decides it needs to sync contacts at this point I dont know, why, must be a bug.
