I'm on EML-AL00. My P20 came straight from China, and there are multiple Chinese/Huawei bloatwares. Most of them aren't too intrusive, but this Chinese voice assistance completely takes over Google assistance.
Whenever I swipe up from the bottom edge, the chinese voice assistance app is launched. The app cannot be disabled.
Any idea how I can inhibit this app and not make it pop up??
Also, when ever I'm clicking through links (eg instagram linking to a link.), weibo automatically opens up first. Why is this???

Correct me if I'm wrong but there's no way to integrate google voice with the native sms app right ? (if I don't currently have phone service)
But is there any other app on the market that will let me use google voice to send texts besides the official google voice app ?
I don't like it because it feels clunky and when you press return it sends the message and that really bothers me.
I am not aware of any other google voice apps. I hate the return send too it never fails to cause a headache. You could always access it through the mobile browser I have better success with that.
Rift
At least I'm not the only one =P
thanks the web does work a bit better.
Is there anyway to make a web page as an icon on the homescreen like ios ?
Edit: I got , but is there a way to change the icon picture ?
Hi all!!!
This is my first post!! i would like to show you my new app, its called Whatsapp Voice Commander, you can imagine what it does xD.
Work this way:
open app, you have three buttons, first one will send a message, second will open whatsapp and will read new messages, third one will finish the app and stops listening for whatsapp events.
IMPORTANT: when started to listen, screen will NOT turn off until you finish with third button.
To activate this app, go to settings->Accessibility and activate whatsapp voice commander. Then open app, check the first checkbox and now you can press the button you want!
Only works on Android 4.1 or higher (at least should work with 4.2)
Any feedback is greatly appreciated, also i am opened to new ideas or new functions. It shouls understand all languages but coded sentences are in english right now (just asking for a name and a message when sending messages).

Code:

Thanks!
Nobody tried it?
No sorry I dont think anyone would like to open an app with their voice
I have been a google voice user since it was GrandCentral and an Android user since the Tmobile G1 (i even pre-ordered it). It's ridiculous that despite it being a google app/service there is no true full integration with android. it's great that there are apps that can integrate text messaging but they are all lacking. When setting up calls, Clicking "place all calls from google voice" in the google voice app get the job done but a banner comes across the screen that says using google voice and sometimes dialing from that times out (I think that's what is happening)and i have to use my phone's real number then. Is there any app or rom that has True google voice integration, when i say true i mean that if when i use my phone i cant tell that its using google voice (no banners, or special messages for calls) and texting from native text messaging apps in seamlessly connected to google voice? Somethign like having a setting where u just check use google voice number for all phone services. Does anyone have any solutions? I am all ears.

I agree with you. I am a heavy Voice user and would love to know more about how I can enhance my experience. I'm using a Galaxy Nexus, and even so, the Google Voice app is not as fluid as I expect it should be. Sometimes it's choppy.
Just realized i cannot block incoming calls / messages on this device? Used to be able to do it on my last 3 handsets but not this? This sucks as its a feature that should come with ALL handsets in my opinion! In a world where where bullying is rife and one f the methods used to bully is texting , let alone just general harassment from unwanted numbers and so forth ! To have a feature that enables you to take control and block this kinda crap is vital if you ask me! I understand to some people this may be no big deal but i see this as a huge disappointment!!
However,i assume theres little i can do about it so does anyone know of any trust worth and reliable apps that will do the same job?
I've not had a phone that could do it natively but my last three phones were Nexus devices so I always had CM or SlimROM which add this feature. sorry to hear you suffer abusive messages, I only needed it for blocking sales calls and crap like that.
There are a few apps in the Play Store that will do this but I hear good things about this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vladlee.easyblacklist
Apparently it does have a bug though where it drops an active call if a blocked call or message comes in at the same time.
You can add a number to your phone book then select "All calls to voicemail" in the contacts app.
1. Add the contact.
2. Go to dialer, swipe to the contacts
3. Edit the contact
4. Press the 3 dots on the top right
5. Select box - "all calls to voicemail"
This is the only option I can find for calls. Not ideal though as they can leave a message
As for texts, maybe an alternative text app?

Cheers man, thats summit i guess! Not ideal though as you said! I use textra as my default sms app but unfortunately no block feature on that either! I think vodafone have an app i can download. I might look in to that Needless to say this is only available to vodafone customers so i might be lucky as iam one
now you can block sms on your expiria z
What I did? I just downloaded an app from Play store named CLEAN INBOX, Installed it and made it as my default sms provider. Then I upgraded it to premium version for 0.79€. Premium version automaticaly blocks and deleats all unwanted sms from your inbox. Then I disabled my default sms provider. You can do it in settings / apps/ sms / and disable it or force stop. Your phone will be fully functional without it. Good luck and rnjoy your phone without any disturbers
So...my old S2 had an app on it that would record missed calls to an audio file. There was a pro-version (sans ads) but the free version was adequate.
Now that I have an S5 and an S6, I don't see anything similar. Not among the default apps, not on Playstore. There is voice mail but you have to dial a separate number, listen to the voicemails and then decide to keep or delete.
The old S2 app stored the recording on the phone...or at least it was directly accessible from the phone.
When I search Google play, all I see are voice to text (visual voicemail) and voice recorders. I don't really see any that automatically redirect a missed call to a recording on the phone. And I'm not sure how faithful and precise voice to text is, esp. if the caller isn't very clear or is long-winded.
Any thoughts, suggestions or help? Plz.
I'm using YouMail, pretty nice app. Have you tried it yet?
Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.youmail.android.vvm&hl=en
apk: http://choilieng.com/apk-on-pc/com.youmail.android.vvm.apk
I installed this app on my Android phone and iphone.
Or, Google voice is another good choice but only available in US. Your data will be stored with Google account, this acts as you phone number.
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googlevoice&hl=en
apk if you need: http://choilieng.com/apk-on-pc/com.google.android.apps.googlevoice.apk
hope it will help

Thank you for your reply.
I tried Google Voice. But after further research, I suspect I will never get what I am looking for despite apps being out there that might be able to do the job...if only I weren't on a third party carrier. I use TotalWireless and they use Verizon towers. But Verizon apps won't work on my phone.
Despite that, the voicemail I do have goes through Verizon and the procedures for activating it and accessing it are identical to the procedures used to activate and access voice mail directly through Verizon.
I got through the set up of Google Voice but when I went to get voicemail, I got a message that connection couldn't be established or something similar.
Called Verizon and TotalWireless--the upshot is that it won't work.
YouMail also states that it won't work with third party carriers.
