Hi Everyone,
I hope someone could point me in the right direction or has experienced this and solved it. I did a search but couldn't find a similar issue.
First, I've experienced this issue on DroidKang, one other ROM which I'm forgetting at the moment, and now SOKP. The Google Voice app is configured to receive messages via the messaging app (Hangouts) and Voice+ is activated (it routes all outgoing SMS/MMS messages using your Google Voice number no matter the messaging app).
- Like the title of the thread, when I switch between WiFi and Data connections, a whole stream of Hangouts SMS messages comes in that I had already received before switching over.
- If I continue that Hangouts SMS conversation for a bit and then switch back, all of those messages from the continued Hangouts SMS conversation will again stream back in.
- I end up having two entries in the Hangouts conversations list, one from the correctly named person, the other from a random number but the SMS text is prefaced by their actual name.
I really like the ability to use Hangouts for SMS but require to use my Google Voice number in order to do so.
I'm not being too hopeful but maybe someone else has experienced this?
As some of you know Android Wear doesn't allow you to send SMS via Google Voice. I have a working solution and wanted to know if anyone would actually use it. The solution however requires Tasker and AutoWear to get the command from the watch and act on it. This is also a non-root solution. Last this will of course be open source.
Do you mean initiate a new Hangout with someone (a) or respond to an SMS via Google Voice (b)?
A. If you wish to send a Google Voice SMS through Hangouts, you should be able to use the "Send text to Sam Hey, how's it going?" voice command. If Hangouts is set as your phone's SMS app on your phone and it is setup to default to your GV #, that should work. If you wish to send a new hangout chat (non-SMS) through Hangouts, I think you're SOL or stuck with a very hacky Tasker/AutoWear situation.
B. You are able to respond to someone from hangouts. Hangouts will default to the method of contact that you received the prompting message in.

I'd like to know how you get this to work. What the previous poster said doesn't work for me as it still sends the texts from my real number even though i've told it to send texts from my google voice #.

I just got my Moto 360 this past week and the fact GV/Hangouts is so horribly "unsupported" is a major turn off since being able to to send texts via GV via the watch was going to be a big use case. (But as I've learned through use and bunches of Google searches it's not that simple.)
I'm about to head off on my own Tasker+AutoWear solution but I only "kind of" know how to use Tasker properly and haven't used AutoWear at all so if you already have something that works I'd love to see it.

I'm Interested in this,, any ideas about incoming google voice call notifications?
Hangout SMS
I must appreciate for your fantabulous work on creating app that allows send hangout sms by voice.
Tried Quick for Wear?
I think you should be able to use Quick for Wear to send Hangout messages. And as a bonus, you have the option of using voice, or one of their built in keyboards, or FlickKey for Wear - which also lets you edit voice messages with a keyboard if you use voice through it.
Yes please share!

Hi, I really would use and appreciate this feature. I only use GV for sms over Hangouts. Even when using send text via the phone's "okay Google" send text feature, it defaults to sending a hangouts sms (from my real cell#) instead of my gv #. It drives my nuts. Is there anyway to TWEAK a setting on the office for okay Google?. So that Okay Google command, sends all sms by default using the GV number. This may be the solution...

This is because when you use the voice commands to send a message, it is never touching the default SMS app (in this case, Hangouts). Rather, it composes the whole thing and even sends from its own user interface. Up until a recent update to Hangouts, this is how it worked system-wide. In other words, clicking send msg from the dialer or contacts screen, for example, would open hangouts as the sms app (if set to be the default for sms), but always start out as sending from the carrier instead of GV. We could change the setting in Hangouts to always start messages with the GV account by default, but that only helped when opening and composing a new message in hangouts. Initiating a text anywhere in else in the OS, for some reason made Hangouts go back to the carrier. My guess is that they always intended GV to be a companion to the carrier, but not actually replace it. For example, if you wanted to have a private number for personal use and another more public number to give out, this would make sense.
I kept submitted bug reports about this behavior (that Hangouts should respect your default account to send from), and I know other people as well. It seems they finally got the memo and made that change a few months ago I think, and the current version of Hangouts finally respects your SMS account of choice when initiating a new msg from anywhere.
But using "OK GOOGLE" does not. Because it uses its own interface and therefore never touches your default SMS app. I'm guessing the solution proposed above uses Tasker to intercept the command, copy the transcribed message, then open a Hangouts message to paste it in. I really wish Google would issue a proper fix for this so that those of us who wish to use GV as our seamless phone number could be a globally supported function of the OS. I honestly got excited that the new GV app finally supports MMS and group texts without requiring hangouts, but sadly you still can't set GV to be the default messaging app. Its like, they almost get what we want to do, but aren't quite ready to embrace it yet. So I wouldn't hold me breathe for the compose via voice feature to be rolled out in an official fix so soon.
I'm a little confused about how Hangouts works on AW. I'm specifically interested in the functionality on an LTE watch when it's not connected to a phone.
Can Hangouts messages be received and responded to from a watch in standalone mode? Is it possible to initiate a message from Hangouts, preserving the GV caller id?
I have a Gear S3 and can receive and respond to Hangouts messages, but not initiate them. I was hoping that AW watches would handle this better.

So before Android Wear 2.0 was released, you'd get notifications that you could respond to but not necessarily do much more than that - sounds a lot like your setup on the S3. Now, you have fully functioning apps that are separate from your phone. I don't use Google Voice, but the Hangouts app lets you see all your conversations including media. Of course, you can initiate a new message in any of those conversations (without needing a notification to reply to). But, I don't see an option to start a new conversation from the watch app. Otherwise, you have full functionality. This is how most apps will work once devs release a version to the Play Store on Android Wear watches.
In short, get an Android Wear watch with a sim card and you can leave your phone at home without losing connectivity.
Have a Nokia 8.1, which was recently upgraded to Android 10 Q.
Have been noticing that the phone sends SMS or at least shows the SMS sending notification on screen.
But there is no sent message in the SMS app. Need help to remove any possible malware from the phone.
Have not installed any dodgy apps or given permissions to apps (for sending sms), so am not sure why the phone is behaving like this.

Would appreciate any help provided.
Apologies if this isn't the right place to post this.

When is this happening?
Is this after you buy (or an automatic subscription renewal?) something from Google play store but pay via your carrier? Normally this "DCB-ASSOCIATION" authentication takes place in the background, which might be what you are seeing.
(Some msg apps like Signal do seem to show these msgs)
In this post it's showing... though yours are not showing, possibly just the pop up?
https://community.verizonwireless.c...SOCIATION-text-and-hacked-account/td-p/843467
However it could be a sign an app is sending in background that you are unaware off, maybe you can see it on your phone bill. ( Android 10 does allow you to block other apps from sending send sms messages, so only default messaging apps can, you can turn this on in developer settings ... though you should find the source of sms. {Maybe an antivirus will show spyware your loved one has installed on your phone which is sending them your location, aww how sweet} One other possibility is carrier provisioning which sends an sms to set up your network settings, but as far as I know you should get a pop up to do this & I'm not aware if phone sends a confirmation back to your carrier)
Is there an Android equivalent to the "Emergency Bypass" options in iOS?
I thoroughly dislike iOS, but there is one, really important feature [important to me] that iOS has that is forcing me to stick with my iPhone, over my, otherwise, superior Android phone.
My problem is this:
I have a few contacts that need to be able to get through do no disturb mode when using text/SMS. But the same contacts also use WhatsApp and Telegram for 'casual' messages.
This works great in iOS, as I can enable the "emergency bypass" option under the specific contacts. This means I won't be able to hear their Whatsapp and Telegram messages (we have an agreement about keeping casual/fun/chit chat to those IM apps, whilst keeping the serious and important stuff to SMS (mostly work related)).
I can sleep soundly, and wake up to a bunch of silly memes from my colleagues on WhatsApp and Telegram. But if something more important pops up, they know to send me an SMS, which I will hear as it bypasses the DND mode on my iPhone.
Now, on Android this is a problem, because it seems that Android 10, at least, treats *all* messanging services equally under DND mode. This means, I get woken up at 3am because my co-worker thinks I need to see the latest Trump meme etc. on WhatsApp/Telegram. Big problem. Because if I then mute the messaging services in DND, I also mute SMS, which is bad because I potentially am missing vital messages.
Is there any way to get around this on Android? Does Android 11 allow you to differentiate between SMS and other instant messengers in DND mode? Is there an app that can be used as a work-around?
Merry Christmas, folks.
If I am constantly seeing that there are configuration messages when I clear the memory or look at the activities in this one app I use called 3c all-in-one toolbox.
I think that someone has the e-sim slot in my phone activated and that they run chat-bots on it and somehow make money from it, see the pics attached. I don't ever send out messages as group messages, and there are things running that indicate a second number is being used.
I could just flash the phone but I'd really like to view what has been going on but I don't know where to begin. ANyone know what would let me see configuration messages and/or see second sim activity?
