The voice answer capabilities are not available on the Pixel 2. I need to be able to say "Answer" or "Reject" to accept an incoming phone call. There is no built-in option and I cannot use apps such as Tasker because the voice option is grayed out. Can anyone please tell me how to get this feature to work specifically on the Google Pixel 2 XL.

I don't think that feature is available with the Google dialer. The only other phone I had that did that was Samsung with Touchwiz........

Thank you for the reply tkacer. Yes, I was coming from Samsung to Google so I had the feature. I am not a developer so I apologies if this is a naive question, but can an app be built that would allow the ability to answer with voice on the Pixel 2 XL? I ask because the only app I know (and trust) that possibly could is Tasker and I cannot get it to work. The option is grayed out when trying to add it to an application.

I feel your pain - really one of the few features I miss from touchwiz.........that and alarms the can be set using maps! I don't believe it will ever be a option on other platforms, or it would have been done already......haven't really heard or seen that feature anywhere else.

Can any one advise this as its not listen in the 3G Specs..
By default no, but there has been talks about possibly getting it to work and a lot of people have success getting Line2 (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.toktumi.line2&feature=search_result) to work on it but requires you to even find the APK somewhere or download it on another android phone and copy the APK file off it.
I am looking for a core 2 Andriod 3.0 with at least a 7.1 or 10.1 screen...
Have to be able to make call.
Any recommendations..
I don't think you're going to find that anywhere.
Good luck with that, last I checked there were no tablets out there (at least in terms of Android 3.0+) that will allow you to make phone calls with them unless you use Skype (or mod it to allow making phone calls nativity.
I have heard that Samsung Galaxy Tab does allow you to make phone calls but I haven't tested myself and don't know if the newer Tab 10.1 (not sure if it's out yet or not) will support the phone features either since the Tab 10.1 will have 3.0.
I'm sure other members on this forums will step in to correct me if I'm wrong at anything I've said here but this is what I've saw so far.
I had some limited success with nettalk and my Google Talk phone number. Could connect with my home phone but my husband said it was very echo-y. I'm wifi only so it can be done. I'm going to try Line 2.
GrooVe IP works
i downloaded groove IP from the market tonite and it seems to work fine, it uses your Google voice number. No monthly fee like Line 2

receiving calls
you have to be logged out of Google talk on your xoom. Also, make sure that in your gv settings you have it set to google chat rather than your mobile number. Not sure if that made any sense, but they explain it step by step in the help section.
is that video calling or just voice?

How can I get the google chat to show up rather then the mobile number because I do not have that option. The only options I see are my mobile number and add this phone, nothing else. I can make calls with excellent quality on both ends but cannot get any calls on my Xoom because of this. What am I doing wrong?

That's the same problem that I was having. You have to log on to google voice settings using your web browser for the log in to chat settings.

I forgot about that. Well I am there on the web browser version of voice and I am a bit confused as to what I need to do exactly. Am I setting up a new number? I still don't see anything about google chat. I'm not a noob to technology by any means but never tried to set up calling on my Xoom until now because I never had the need for it. I do appreciate the help a lot.

Not really sure. When I go to google voice on my browser and then click on the setting tab in upper right corner and then choose voice settings, I can then click on the phones tab, that is where I am able to choose google chat.
Hope that helps, that's about all I got.
I will add that my calls work a lot better for the other party when I use bluetooth.

Dang... I just remembered a long time ago I deleted the google chat from my registered phones list because I didn't think I would ever need to use it. So that would mean I would have to add it back, but... yeah. If I try to add another phone it gives me the name to choose and I need to set a number for it, and I have no idea what the number would be for google chat. Thanks for the quick responses though! I'll try and figure out what to do next. And I have 2 nice bluetooth headsets and they do work great!

The legacy Galaxy Tab does let you use a GSM sim card and allow one to make phone calls as well as access EDGE/3G data...i helped a friend set up his tab a couple of weeks ago and can confirm this....im located in Mumbai, India...and the versions available here do allow the ability to also use it as a phone..

i believe its the kernel that is stopping it from possible.
at the momenet, honeycomb is designed to be a tablet OS, hence it didn't include the Phone's feature in the system.
for galaxy tab, (the older one), it running on Gingerbread which a Phone OS, hence it can be easily enable the phone feature.
i believe we need to wait till Ice Cream where it unite Gingerbread and Honeycomb, so that it has the phone's feature in the system and can be enabled easily.
Hey All
Just thought I'd add to this old topic. I have an Australian 3G Xoom, on the American 3.1 update, with my settings pushed back for 3G etc.
Tonight I installed the UAString/SMS mod, so that I could send SMSes (which work perfectly with Handcent, over the Telstra 3G network - just like any mobile phone would do). Then I tried calling my tablet. This also worked perfectly! The call came up, it connected, etc. I answered and this is where we hit trouble. No sound. Either way. So the Xoom doesn't have a microphone/speaker set up for sound during a call. I even tried setting the Xoom on speaker phone, but still nothing.
Any ideas? Not sure if this has been posted about before, and I thought it was pretty exciting, to be making normal calls, and SMSes (there is all this talk about Google Voice, which is useless outside of the US) on the Xoom, and this was very exciting for me.

home 2, i havent got a clue where the options being suggested are from the blogpost and from both the xda thread and stackexchange it appears bluetooth launcher hasnt been updated, i tried to use it before on my s3 wasn't great by any respect.
The main reason for is that the default option uses the us voice, which is strange as I have gone through google search, google now and many other options and they all say uk which actually from me playing around really does make the difference in voice recognition to me personally, also its soooo frickin slow to call someone on voice dialler compared to google now.

You can try using this to activate Google Now instead of the voice dialer.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kin.bluetooth_launch
Open the app, scroll down to Google Search, click it, then choose the 3rd option com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity, launch the voice dialer and you'll get an option to choose Bluetooth Launch as the default, choose that....PROFIT!!!!
Hope this helps.

So this, might be a CM question, but has anyone using google voice on a stock rom seen the integration message in the updated google hangouts app "Migrate google voice to hangouts"? I've gotten the update, but I haven't seen the message as of yet and was just curious if the CM voice+ thing was interfering with it.

Thanks
I'm not using an OPO, but I do have my # ported to Google Voice. I have yet to see the message. I was reading a blurb on PhoneArena that the transition is not going too smoothly. I'd recommend to wait a bit, and let Google sort it all out.

My thoughts exactly, hoping they sort everything out as well. I have my Google Voice number and my regular number. I actually use both for different sets of people since Google Voice can't do international calling. To accomplish this took some fiddling though. I have Hangouts set to my default sms app, and Voice+ option disabled, this way the two environments stay separate. Otherwise all messages would be sent from either one or the other number completely.
Ideally would love to run everything through Hangouts with the option to choose how the communication is sent: phone's number, gv number, or hangout (the way it is now in how you can choose sms or hangout). Can't be an easy thing they're doing trying to integrate everything.
I have been waiting a long time for this. I hadn't seen that droid life article, thanks zephik. Hopefully they flip the switch back on soon. I use my GV number exclusively, so this integration is a godsend.

So my wife has a Droid Turbo and I contacted VZW about an issue with her voicemail. In the discussion, the rep told me that there is a "Basic" tier of visual voicemail now that is free. He said it should be available on my phone, too.
However, all I've ever seen for the M8 is the $2.99 a month option, which is all I see in the Voice Mail app as well.
Is there any truth to what the rep told me, or was he smoking something?
Not as answer, but I think Google Voice is much more powerful
Edit: This chart says yes but doesn't say how to activate it.

Last time i tried to use Google Voice it stated that it didn't work with my service.
I would love to know how everyone is using Google voice mail services with VZW when i clearly get denied.
Maybe someone could clarify that?

Any luck figuring out basic visual voicemail on M8?
Hi There,
DId you ever find an answer to this question? I'm new to Android and just got an M8. I've been trying to figure out how to get a visual voicemail service set up ( I don't need transcription or lots of features- just the ability to see a list of messages and save some/delete some/play some). I also just read about the Verizon Basic Visual Voicemail and it seems perfect for me, but cannot see how to activate on the M8. When I click on the voicemail app, all I see is the 2.99 option ( and free trial). Were you able to figure if you can activate the basic VM on the M8, and, if so, can you please share how?
Thanks so much!

Thank you for your answer. Did you happen to find out if this is a result of the plan, or the phone? I've seen other people say it's possible, but with no explanation how. I still haven't set up voicemail. I see an option of for 2.99 VVM, a free trial for the 2.99 VVM, remind me later, or decline free trial. Did you run into these options as well? What explanation were you given by Verizon ( and how recently)? Thank you so much for responding.
Hey guys, just a quick question. Those of you rooted (or non-rooted, doesn't really matter) what's your opinion on Google Dialer? Is it worth installing the framework and using it? What advantages and disadvantages does it have? I've tried searching the web but can't really get a decent answer, just a load of "I use it" and "I don't use it" without reasons. Thanks in advance.

There are some tiny differences that I can't even think of but nothing game changing. They both make phone calls and thats good enough for me lol.

Couple of advantages with Google Dialer are
1. Frequent updates through play store
2. Identifying unknown callers
I am not crazy about those two features, so I am content with stock dialer
Google Dialer is better - identify unkonwn callers and search for numbers in Google's online database, although it does not support call recording.
