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.
Try installing Google Voice onto your phone. The hangouts dialer is just an add-on to Hangouts, and not really a standalone app. It becomes a shortcut in the app drawer to Hangouts. Hope this helps and update us on an answer!

Yeah I have Google Voice on the phone as well.
OK. Go into settings and find Application Manager. Then scroll to All and look for the Dialer.apk and clear its defaults. Or just drag the phone icon on the home screen to the top and should give option to view App Info, which will tell you what app it is.

Thanks for the reply. I did that but clear defaults is greyed out so I can't click on it. Says no defaults set. I downloaded default app editor. For the calling option there's only phone and viber but for messaging hangouts is on the list. I need hangouts on the list for calling
Just received the hangouts dialer update this morning. Still can't set as default but it did enable me to touch a number online and call with Hangouts Dialer. Good enough!

Is there any dialer app which resembles the SE 2.1 dialer app (with dialer, call log, contacts and favourites, and allows to add new contacts directly, etc)?
I have just found Youlu. Looks nice. Any other ideas?
I am using "Dialer One" and it is good.
youlu address book......it's the besttttttttttttt
I installed youlu yesterday and today have deleted all other phonebook/dialer/calllog applications. Youlu no doubt is excellent and has a cool widget too.
I also like the youlu dialer, but there is one problem.
Because I wanted to fix my lowres contact pictures, I have linked all pictures to my facebook account and until now I have not found any app that can show these pics.
I don't want to change the pictures for +200 contacts again to use this app.
Is there anyone who has found a different dialer app that can show the facebook pictures ?

I'm enjoying Youlu too. However, I have a problem. When I dial a number ou select a contact in it, it opens SE blue background dialer. Should it be like that?

You can set the facebook pictures directly to your contacts with syncmypix. Then every phonebook will show them. The app also has a high res setting.

No, it shouldn't be like that.
Delete the defaults for Youlu (in Settings->Applications->Management) and repeat the action, when prompted select Youlu as default.

I tried, but didn't work. Any clue? My x10 is a 2.1 version...Keep using the low resolution picture when I dialed a number, I didn't have the same problem back in 1.6
is there a dialer which allows conference calling my old tilt2 i could have 6 callers at once.

2.1 dialer is the best, I really don't understand why they abandoned it.
I was used to hide unwanted sms by hide sms and calls apps, but none of them works in 4.4+, probably because of high priority of hangouts.
It wont work even when I change default SMS app to 8sms, handscent SMS, etc...
Incoming SMS still appears in default SMS app and is not hidden.
Any solution please?

Yea, but I want to use one default sms app for standart sms. And for SMS from people I want to hide I need to use for example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartanuj.sms
This app allows me hide SMS and Calls from just exact people I want to. But problem is, that SMS which shoud be hidden is still shown also in the default SMS app.

Wipe data of Titanium in settings, delete Titanium folders, uninstall/reinstall. If that doesn't work, try fixing permissions and wiping cache and dalvik. Sorry you're having trouble.

So finally I solved this issue...maybe it helps someone.
Hide it pro and most of other apps dont work, they dont hide SMS of choosen people, because of SMS high priority in 4.4+ Android.
So doesnt metter if you freeze Hangouts or not. Any other SMS app you will install will show SMS which should be hidden.
Solution:
1 - Forbid the Hangouts to send SMS
2 - Install Hide SMS&Contact -Private Text https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkyeah.privatespacefree&hl=cs
3 - Replace default SMS sender by Messaging Classic - 4.4 Kitkat https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkyeah.message
Now SMS hiding by "Hide SMS&Contact -Private Text" app is working.
For now its the only one solution and the only working SMS hide app I found. I tried many of them, but only this one works.
If youll find any better, let me know - this one is far away from SMS hiding app I was used to use.

Thanks for this! I was looking for one for the last two weeks as well. I was happily using Hide It Pro in my Galaxy Nexus before but now in my Nexus 5 it got screwed up. I hope the developer updates that app soon.
In the last week I was using an app called Private Place - there was no need to change the default SMS app (it was Hangouts). It worked pretty well. But the trial ended today (a week) and the Pro version costs $7 - which I might consider after checking out Hide SMS & Contact app you posted (the Pro version of that is cheaper at $3.6; but I couldn't yet find the limitations in the free app).
Do keep posting about any new apps you can find.

So the Private Place app works with KitKat and the Hangouts app, do MMS work? I've been using Messaging Classic and Private Space Pro, but I think its keeping me from receiving and sending MMS.

The Google Dialer IMO is a mess - not intuitive, cannot edit a contact from call log, long press does nothing, can't delete individual calls and I don't use the local search...
The only thing I miss about my Samsung is the dialer and their awesome swipe left to text swipe right to call feature.
So is there anyway to change the dialer to a better one? or incorporate the swipe to call/text feature?
Loads of dialers on play store

I actually have the same problem. Is it possible to revert to the Jelly Bean AOSP dialer (and contacts)?
Try Dialer One: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.dialer.DialerOne
I completely forgot about dialers on the play store.
A themed exDialer is now my default app. It looks a little better than Dialer One though both solve my issues.
Much thanks.

1. Tap the contact picture or icon and it will pop-up the individual contact card. From there you can edit the contact or use the other contact methods.
3. Tap on any entry on the call log and it will open a details page for that call. The menu button will appear and you have the option to delete that individual call from the log.

Are there some simple advice, why not work for me HD Caller ID and still shutter built-in dialer, although I ended embedded application "Contacts"? I'm in despair. I tried already UCS HD dialer and it still works just the built-in dialer. After installing HD caller is lowered about 2 times and then it works just built dialer
Sorry for bad English , before many thanks for your help
Hello
I'm not sure I am understanding your issue properly. You want to change the default dialer right?
Will you need to download : a dialer, a contact app and a SMS app because the default app does the three. Once installed you go in settings and then in manage apps ( or something like it my phone is not in English) then at the bottom of the screen you have a button "default app". Then change your call and message apps settings. Hope it helps.

Hello,
no no, it is not a dialer, but the Caller ID - what is displayed when someone calls.
But yesterday I solved it - I tried three Callers ID:
1) Full Screen Caller ID - BIG!
2) HD Full Screen Caller ID
3) Ultimate Caller ID Screen HD
Of these three applications work only called "Ultimate Caller ID Screen HD" BUT .... but in the "Protected application" must be set for this application protection - to operate even when the display.
Thank you for your help

I'm new here and have a question. I have the Huawei G750-U10 4.4.2 Emo 2.0.
I want to replace the default dialer but fails. if I download a new dialer I can not make him default . im going to manahe apps>all>Phone but the option Launch by default is Grey.
I was wondering if there was an xposed module or modified app that changed the default messaging app so when you go into a conversation you can start typing without having to click on the area to initiate typing if that makes sense lol I'm coming from the LG g2 and that feature made replying to texts quicker.
