It seems that the stock Huawei dialer isn't fully compatible with using Google Voice to make calls. Sometimes it uses the GV number, sometimes the SIM number. I know the workaround would be to make calls directly from the Hangouts app, but that's not helpful in areas without great signal. Does anyone have a way to install the stock Google Phone app? I know it can be added as a system app, but as far as I know we currently lose mods to system on reboot... (Unless I'm wrong on that?)
Thanks!

Yep. The more recent dialers are looking for the associated framework, so they complain the phone is not compatible. I tried an older version that would install and it functions okay...but when dialing out the stock Huawei dialer takes over to actually make the call. (Even after changing the phone app in defaults.)

Hmmm...not sure what you mean. I'm not aware of any way to place a call directly from the Google Voice app? It just allows you to specify whether the default phone app should dial via Google Voice, which works about 1 out of 5 times when it's turned on.

Hmm nvm I thot u could guess it just takes u to the default dialer.
It seems that no matter what you choose as the default dialer app, the Huawei remains the default. I've tried a few different dialer replacements, same results. I've seen the same comment on other Huawei forums as well...

I'm using GV. I had issues trying to get it to work at first. I tried a few things to get it working. First I just changed the section in call forwarding to my GV number. Seemed to work ok. But if I remember correctly To get it actually working I had to go to my google voice account on computer and go to settings. Then select deactivate google voice on this phone. It then gave me the code to type into my phone. Then I went back and hit activate my google voice number. Again it gave me the code to enter on my phone. After that I just went through install and setup for GV app on my phone.
The deactivating and the re-activating did the trick.

Awesome! Glad you got it working.
Or, if you switched carriers (and opted for a new number) like me, you can just disable the old number. I forgot to deactivate the old number before shutting off service to the phone.
With the recent release of the Hangouts Dialer, I finally decided to go all in with Google Voice for all my calls/texts.
I was successfully able to update my phone's settings so that any calls/texts coming in to my Google Voice number go into the new Hangouts Dialer app. However, if someone calls my regular T-Mobile number, the stock dialer is still used to receive the call. My question is, has anyone figured out how to use the Hangouts Dialer with their carrier phone number? And if you have figured this out, is it as simple as disabling the stock dialer to ensure it never intercepts any calls?
Removing the stock dialler will prevent the phone booting. I'm not sure at what point in the boot process package manager "freezes" apps but I would suggest disabling the dialer is a really bad idea.
As for the rest of your question, not sure.

Thanks for the heads up. After digging around, it looks like my best current solution is just to make sure everyone I stay in contact with uses my GV number instead. Any calls/texts coming in through my T-Mobile number will just continue to go through the stock dialer.

when I 1st installed the hangouts dialer I wanted the same, & wonder why the hangouts dialer code simply couldn't be baked into the native one (maybe in L?)
*BUT* I found in the mean time -
Its the stock phone dialer app.
Keep awake 7h22m
Included packages
*com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnel*
SIM toolkit
Phone/Messaging storage
Phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48923078&postcount=4
even with gv, carrier number integration, why we (on sprint) get the double ringing on incoming calls, unless the sprint sim is removed, or cellular data is turned off..
look at what *com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnel* is tied to..
This is for the S5, but I assume it would work on the galaxy note 4 and all other devices with this issue.
Hi all, I wanted to let you know that there is a very easy work around for this limitation. It is supplied by Google Inc through the Hangouts Dialer app. I'm not sure whether or not you need Hangouts installed to use it, but it allows you to make calls via the data network and still use the network to browse the web, etc. I have tried it several times at home with WiFi off and it works flawlessly so far.
It's sad that Sprint didn't find a way to bypass this limitation on their own, or at least inform customers, but this is an easy and seamless solution by Google.
I put the icon right next to my default phone icon for future use.
Additionally, I can not believe that Sprint is not aware of this work around. I spoke to a few different representatives today, and none were able to offer a solution.
I found this on my own searching the play store. Hope this helps!!
I posted this in the community forum on sprint.com. Hopefully they will figure out a way to make it work......
Sprint:
As I have stated in other posts, the "Hangouts Dialer" app allows you to make calls over the data connection without WiFi and still be able to surf the web. (Please note, this app is different from "Hangouts", it is "Hangouts Dialer" by Google Inc.)
This works on my S5, and it should work on any device that can install the app.
This has not been suggested by any of the Sprint Agents in any of the posts I have seen. I have seen suggestions to use Skype and other VOIPs, but there are some charges and they require a WiFi signal.
This is very confusing because if the app is able to make calls using the data network, then why doesn't Sprint set up the default dialer to do the same thing if there is no WiFi connection? I do understand that this would increase the load on the data network, but you are losing customers at a significant rate due to this issue. Anybody who needs to be on the phone and confirm appts, emails, etc with the person/client/coworker they are on the phone with is not able to do so. This is a monumental step backwards that is inexcusable with todays technology. Waiting for VOLTE is not a solution, as the time frame on this is not guaranteed.
Please consider my suggestion for the default dialer app. Google already has it functional in the Hangouts Dialer app, so there is no reason it can't be done.
Thanks!

I decided to try this out, since you've been posting the same info in multiple threads. It works, but it's flawed. This ONLY works if you're calling someone who is also using Google Hangouts. (If they aren't, you're prompted to send them an SMS. The reason that we can't make simultaneous voice and data is a limitation of CDMA. Until Sprint updates to VoLTE, it's something Sprint users have dealt with since the first smart phone.

Ramer,
Thank you for responding to my post. I need to point out that you have two apps confused. As above, the app is not "Hangouts". It is "Hangouts Dialer". This is a dialer app. It can call landlines, cell phones, etc. No need for call to go to somebody who is also using Hangouts.
Please install the "Hangouts Dialer" app, turn off your WiFi, call a landline with the app, and then see if you can surf. I have had no issues with it so far.
Please let me know!

I did download and install Hangouts Dialer. Turned off Wifi. When I called my other phone, it worked as you stated. When I called a contact that was not on Hangouts, I get a pop-up that that person is not on Hangouts, do you want to send them an SMS?. Try calling a number (like a business) and see what you get.

Go and type google voice on google and log on to the website with your Google account. There should be an option to add a Google voice number. Click on the one that says use your existing number and type in your number. It should detect that it's a sprint number and continue to the next step to enable google voice on your phone. If you don't want google voice on your phone anymore just go back to he website and disable your number from Google voice. You can always reactivate it at any time you want

I didn't read the entire thread.. My vzw S3 could have LTE and voice simultaneously. The S5 has a modified modem to disconnect 3G/LTE when sms/voice radio activates for battery saving. Annoying when downloading GB files!
Hi all
Since the update, I have had some problems with making calls with my Google voice number on my idol 3. Everything worked perfect up until the last week.
I have it set to have all calls using GV and also tried to set it to ask for each call. I've tried uninstalling, clear cache, etc but no change. Either way, the calls go through but the person I'm calling sees my carrier number (which no one knows), meaning that the calls are going through the carrier line instead of GV.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions for getting GV working properly again? I've not had a problem like this with GV on any phones/versions before
Thanks!

Seems third party dialers aren't working as expected either. Thought I would try another dialer to see if that would work around this but that is just opening the stock dialer...
Anyone know if a reset of the phone will roll back the update?
Sent from my 6045I using XDA Free mobile app
I'm having the same problem. I can even set google voice to ask each time and I get prompted to use voice or the phone but it doesn't matter what I select. All calls go through the phone instead of voice.
Similar issue, though I can get my GV number to work if I dial with Hangouts Dialer.
Yeah, mine works if I use Hangouts dialer also.... But that uses data, not minutes. I happen to be on an unlimited data plan, so should be OK for me for now.

Depending on your rom version the system image thread has several "early" firmware versions now (especially for the 6045i) where you can see if it reverts the issue.

While that does work (and is good enough for me personally), the problem with that is that it uses data instead of cellular minutes. So anyone who makes enough outgoing calls and doesn't have a lot of data in their cell plan may end up going over their limit.

Coming from a OP5T, using the Google Dialer with T-Mobile here in the US, my visual voice mail (VVM) worked as expected. However, on the OP6, I can not enable VVM. When I go to Settings -> Voicemail there is not option to turn VVM on/off as there is on my OP5T. Anyone else seeing this issue our know how to fix it? I can put SIM back in the OP5T and VVM will work on it....
I'm wondering if you're actually using the Google Dialer, because that's not what comes on the phone. I'm using the modded Google Dialer on T-Mobile and visual voicemail is working fine for me. I didn't have to change any settings other than change the default phone app to the modded Google Dialer.

Can you check your settings on your Google Dialer? When I go to settings -> voicemail, I do not have an option to enable visual voicemail. see attached image.
My settings look like yours.
I'm not too familiar with VVM, but I assume you just mean the tab for voicemails with the play/pause/delete buttons for each voicemail? If so, that's working for me. If it's something more, then I'm not sure. My voicemail is empty right now so I can't show you what it looks like, but I had a few voicemails earlier and I deleted them from that tab. I can't send myself a test message until tomorrow when I have access to a second phone.
I just changed over to the Magisk version, since the modded version I had made the notification answer/decline buttons not work, so I wouldn't recommend it. But it can be found here.

Is that the same thing I am doing -- I have Verizon set to NOT send my missed calls to voicemail, but to forward it to my Google Voice number. Then my Google Voice is set to immediate Do Not Disturb and goes to voicemail.
I did that because Verizon's stupid free voicemail doesn't transcribe the whole thing and they make you pay to have more than 20 voicemails in queue.
