For everyone that has forgot or just never new back in 2011 sprint and google worked together to put google voice and sprint together research for more info then Google pushed more into it with hangouts and hangout dailer search for more information with these 3 you can make and receive calls via Internet voip/volte/Voight while still surfing the Web I can confirm this works great but I can also confirm it can be hard to set up Google is your friend here
Ps our note 5 comes with hangouts pretty installed you would only need to download
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.hangoutsdialer
There's no need to have Google voice app you can set everything up from browser for Google voice then go to the hangout app and link the two together
Yeah i figured this out lastnight but even still how in the hell can i use speaker phone on it. I only see the dialer and hangup. Oh and the mute button. Guess this will have to do

At the top of the dailer there is a symbol the looks like a phone with a few lines on the side of it that is the speaker phone
Here's a picture of it
Wow, thanks dude. That helps a ton!!
Yeah I this was the main reason I was about to leave Sprint for T Mobile. With my new Note 5 I'm getting tomorrow my understanding is the Spark speeds are through the roof compared to Note 4. I use Google Voice anyway. With this fix and the fact I have unlimited everything for under $50 per month; I'll be staying with Sprint. Thanks for sharing!

It will also work for incoming calls but you have to google how to so it but thank you for trying it does help us i receive and send phone calls with the app if you cannot figure it out receive the call ask him if you can call him right back and then come pick up if you are doing something on the internet
Keep in mind that when you use Google voice for calls you are using data. So if your data signal is crap then good luck with hearing the other person or them hearing you. On top of that good luck with browsing since the call will eat up some of your bandwith.
No luck needed. It works fine. Even with low signal of data, calls work fine. I'm not watching a movie on netflix while on a call. Just waiting for an important email, checking the web quickly for directions; quick glance browsing. No need for all that bandwidth.

This is a Steve Balmer decision to obscure the speaker phone.
Every time a software company does something so weird and stupid, I just KNOW that they have to have had Steve Balmer's help on it.

I installed viber beta yesterday in my Nexus One and it seems to work just fine.
There is only one glitch and I would appreciate it, if someone could help.
The problem is, that due to default dialer integration, the duration of all outgoing calls sums up in Call Meter NG, so I can't really know how much time I have left for GSM calls. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Can't you just call/dial #646# to see how many minutes used/left?
Actually nope...I live in Greece and though there are some call plans, that let you know how many minutes are left, mine is quite old (much better rates) and does not support this convenience.
Thanks anyway..

This is a question for anyone on T-Mobile... is there any way to get around the ridiculous charge for listening to your voicemail? Unfortunately HulloMail isn't available for WP7 and probably won't be for a while but something like that would be ideal.
I'm pretty sure they charge for voicemail on all their plans which is ridiculous indeed. My girlfriend had it free a few weeks ago because she had a quite old plan still going on but she recently upgraded and now has to pay for voicemail too.
Well, despite the fact that there is no HulloMail app for WP7 I set up an account anyway and it seems to work fine. The only difference is that because there is no dedicated app I don't get notifications when I receive voicemail. However, as you can set HulloMail to automatically sync with your inbox this isn't much of an issue; when I receive voicemail I get sent an email allowing me to either call back (using my minutes allowance) or listen to the message in a browser. Hopefully, they will make an app at some point but until then this is still better than paying extra on top of my monthly bill every time I miss a call.

Hey all, I just wanted to run an Jessie by you all to see if anyone has any ideas how to fix this. I'm using grooveip for wifi calls in conjunction wig Google voice. I can call out fine but sometimes when people call me the call gets instantly cut off and I hear a half second of ringer before it goes instantly to voicemail. Also, it signs itself out sometimes when the screen if off. I want it to stay connected as often as possible and never disconnect. As well as stopping it from auto cutting off someone calling in. If anyone has any ideas I'd sure appreciate it! Thanks.

at least you got it working to some extent. when i used it in conjunction with google voice it was still using my verizon minutes for some bizarre reason even though i specified wifi. i gave up and just stuck with skype (even though it's not free and the quality sucks to).
additionally, i logon to your google voice/voicemail account from your browser on your pc and verify that there isn't some voicemail setting that's jacked.

i use grooveip with very good/respectable results and no problems like you're. i would recommend visiting the developer's website and/or emailing the developer. the developer is very responsive to qutestions.
Just got my Play today. White international version.
Im having terrible luck with google voice. I can't get to forward my calls through voice. I can't set it to receive texts through voice only. All I can do is revives calls when people call me. This is a bad issue. Does anyone else have any luck with Google voice? This could factor into a speedy return

"I can't get to forward my calls through voice." I'm not sure what you mean. You can't get it to take incoming calls to your Google Voice number and forward to your native number or you can't get it to take incoming calls top your native number and forward to Google Voice for voicemail? Mine pops up a dialog saying that it failed to forward native calls to GV voicemail but it actually works. Even if it didn't there's still a code I can dial in to do the same thing. Some carriers do not support it though. My boss could not use GV to forward his MetroPCS voicemail to. If you are saying that you want calls made to your native number to ring your GV number, that would not be a feature of GV. That would require you to set up forwarding through your carrier.
"I can't set it to receive texts through voice only." Uhh, it can't block texts sent to your native number. Block texting with your provider and tell people to forget your old non-GV number, then use the GV app to receive texts (setting it to also receive via native Messaging app will forward them to your mobile number as regular billable text messages despite the wording of the option). Forwarding native texts to GV is also something your carrier would have to do unless you could find some app to do it. It's not a GV function.
I should have been a bit more clear. Was in a flurry last night.
I've got most of it fixed. I ported my phone number to voice when I changed carriers. So everyone still calls that, then voice routes the call to any phone you want. When I call out from my Nexus, it goes through Google voice and on the other persons end it shows my Voice number instead of my "real" phone number.
My Xperia recieves calls fine now, but I cant get it to call out through Google voice. So people are seeing my "real" number instead of my voice number.
First world problems.

In the options for th GV app I set it to use GV for all outgoing calls. If I have a poor signal or weak WiFi, it causes it to hang on some intermediary screen before the dialer pops up so it is using Internet data for that step. If you can't enable the option, I'd check your cellular data settings.
Oh yeah. Ive got that set up. Been using voice for over a year now. Play just doesn't seem to like it as much.
In a completely unrelated note, this phone has amazing battery life

The only issue I have on my PLAY is the error saying that I can't enable voicemail forwarding even though it does enable it and forward just fine (the setting still shows that my carrier is handling VM). Even then, I think it's a problem with AT&T still having something configured wrong from my iPhone plan with VVM. Also, my battery would die in 8 hours of leaving the device locked on the stock AT&T ROM but, luckily, you never had to deal with that.
Got it all figured out.
Rooted the phone and removed a bunch of bloat. Phone is amazing now! I love you XDA.
Ok so Im not trying to change the subject, but does anyone get googles video chat to work without huge lag? I bought my girlfriend a Xperia play right after I got mines & installed video talk (via Video Talk Installer) & also the GTalkEnabler (to enable "Talk" over mobile data) & attempted both video & voice chat. My voice chat worked well over wifi & mobile, but the video chat was almost impossible due to lag on AT&Ts HSPA/Almost kinda 4g & not much better on wifi. With both XPlay's on wifi the video jumped frames and had green or pink pixel boxes & voice was lagged over 5 seconds. This makes the front cam & video chat useless. Whats the deal with this??
Hello Everyone,
Since everyone is so hyped about the new Voice integration with hangouts and more specifically, we finally have the ability to make outgoing call without using 3rd party programs, still no MMS with the google voice number but the outgoing calling alone is awesome.
Anyway, since this is XDA and the new functionality gives XDA's plenty of money saving ideas I'm certain of that, here goes.
HANGOUTS & GOOGLE VOICE = 1.6 MB PER HOUR OF CALLING
DISCLAIMER
That is an amazingly low amount of data! I ran this test making a 3 minutes phone using my nexus 5 on LTE. It's by far not a scientific test but a very good estimate of how much data you can save making calls with GOOGLE VOICE THRU HANGOUTS. I'm sure you 30$ a month 5GB t-mobile people can put this to good use, I know I will! (Goodbye stupid deadzones in Brooklyn College ) Finally us Nexus 5 owners have a more legitimate way of making WiFi calls since T-mobile ditched us on that one. I'm plenty excited about all of this! What do you guys think? How will you be using the new outgoing calls feature?
LASTLY
The updated hangouts apk is below in case you didn't get the update yet like me. enjoy!
I am so anxious for this integration. I've already got the new apk and dialer installed, now I keep checking Hangouts for the popup to integrate SMS and voicemail from GV into hangouts. Wish there was a way to force it like the search for OK Google Everywhere.

Same, although my rom still has CM Voice+ and it's still handling the integration quite well. I currently use Groove Forwarder from the play store to switch my GV forwarding based on location. I'm very curious if it will still be functional once I'm integrated, as currently, I don't see any options in the new Hangouts app to determine what number rings. If it stays this way, I'll end up getting double rings (dialer & Hangouts) when someone calls my GV number.

I have the same double ring problem. I'd like to see an option to only accept/make Hangouts calls over wifi because I use Llama to disable the cell radio when on wifi at home (because the cell signal is very poor and it drains my battery very fast and also because I have a Ting "metered" plan and trying to keep usage as low as possible -- basically on cell only when away from home, wifi otherwise). I currently use the older version of GrooveIP, but was hoping to be able to move to Hangouts.

Me too, I keep thinking that maybe I did something wrong and I'm being left out, but Google's just rolling the server-side changes out slowly, I've read. Such anxiety
This actually works for every Android device that can use hangouts/google voice too. Right now I have it on my Galaxy Player, and it works great. I'm glad that Google finally integrated google voice, because it makes things a lot easier lol. I'm surprised that this isn't getting a lot of news.
We still need the GV app to send texts, right? Or am I missing something and it's possible to text using your GV number from the Hangouts app?

I'm checking on it right now, but it seems that you don't need the GV app anymore. You should be able to text using your GV number in hangouts. I'm setting mine up right now.
Here's the topic that google created to set up GV with Hangouts. I ran into a problem where I had to disconnect hangouts in gmail, and then reconnect it to see the Google Voice option in the settings.

Ah, thanks. They don't make it easy to find. Same deal with the Hangouts Dialer, jumping through many hoops to set it all up. I guess they don't want to piss off the carriers just yet.

By disconnect do you mean sign or and then sign back in?
OK, more help needed: how do I switch the number and SMS is sent from when starting a new conversation? I like the "smart reply" option, but sometimes I want to send from the GV number, other times from my cell number (in particular for MMS).

Nope also to answer your Google voice question further when trying to access or send message you get this screen. However, I had to unchecked merge messages to even get it to send with hangouts lol.

hangout issue
Hey has anyone had the issue where hangout calls connects, but you get can't hear anything. Basically only one end of the line gets sound for some reason. each time i had to hang up and try again.
I haven't on the 2 test calls I made. Any suspicions as to why its happening?
Whats your OS or ROM, Phone, Network, what was your coverage like. Wifi or mobile network.

Not working for me, still using cell minutes when making calls
?
Edit: I think I figured it out, if I use the phone dialer it asks if I want to use Google voice, it uses minutes, if I skip it and use the hangouts dialer no minutes. So do I need GV installed at all?
Don't need Voicemail on GV, I can use T-Mobile Visual Voicemail.
in order to receive wifi calls there is box to check in settings plus
in google voice settings [web page] I had to stop google from forwarding my google # to my phone [uncheck nexus 5]
this keeps google from forwarding the call twice and keeps the native dialer blocking the hangouts dialer
I'm on wifi 95% of the time so this should lower my $12 Ting bill to $9 on a normal month.
