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 ?

Hello everyone.
I have a big problem with this phone ( NXT - L09 , B152 ), and I do not see a solution .
I have 1,300 contacts , which are located on the " google" .
Viber / Whatsapp contacts very often , for reasons unknown to me , just - disappear . When they disappear (in Viber, there is a message "No Contacts Yet") , of course I am unable to send Viber / Whatsapp message and also when someone sends me a message - I see only the number of the sender or nickname. Very annoying !
I had the same problem with Huawei P8max ( Lollipop ) and Huawei Mate7 ( Lollipop ) .
I must add that I have not had this problem at Huawei Mate7 when I used 4.4.2 ( KitKat ) .
I used a lot of phones , and only on Huawei have this problem.
I love Huawei Mate 8 but this really bothers me .
Help me!
Go to settings - apps - advanced - permissions and grant the apps access to your contacts.
I'll try. But I'm not optimistic. Why does viber sometimes see contacts and sometimes doesnt? Logically, if there is no permission to access then they are never visible.
Anyone?
Same problem here... C636b170... Sometimes they just disappear....In Whatsapp less so, only 1 or 2 disappear and only the numbers are displayed. But they reappear after a while, same like Viber.
Also when I create a new contact with Viber, they disappear from time to time and get deleted from Google Account also.... Very annoying since I update them usually with tons of extra information in the notes field. When I create contact in Contact Manager directly, it usually sticks... Must be Viber Bug or something...

Viber sucks
its viber problem. they can not fix it,for 6 month.
Go to settings - apps - advanced - permissions and grant the apps access to your contacts.

yes, but for me it was enabled, so you must first disable access to contacts, open viber try to sync ( you'll see that there are no contacts ), than enable contacts access and sync viber again
Update, April 5, 2019: you can now make calls with Google voice.
1. Open the app, tap the phone icon then the dialer on the bottom right.
2. If it doesn't work, go into settings by tapping lines at top left. Make sure you are set to receive calls, disconnect hangouts if you haven't.
3. Make sure you set your preference to use Wi-Fi to make calls.
4. Restart app, go back to step one.

****OLD METHOD****
I'm making this post because this worked surprisingly well. Call clarity is near perfect and there's little to no delay whatsoever. To be honest, I wasn't expecting this to work well on this tablet let alone any other ones.
Google recently revamped Google Voice and Hangouts which all but combined the two apps into one. If you already have a Google account, you can easily sign up to use Google voice here. To use this feature you'll need to do so. Once you've done so, you're literally a few steps away from receiving and making phone calls. Also install Activity Launcher if you haven't already done so.
1) It's not required, but it is helpful to download and install Google Contacts.
2) Download and install Google Voice (once you've gotten a Voice number). You can now send SMS messages to anyone with a regular phone number and you can also receive texts from any phone number. You can also now setup voicemail which will then allow anyone to call your Voice number and leave you a voice message. In the next steps, you'll be able to answer those phone calls and even make them!
3) Download and install Google Hangouts and Hangouts Dialer. No additional sign-up is needed. You should be automatically signed in when opening Hangouts. In Hangouts tap the three bars at the top left and select settings and tap your account if signed in.
4) Scroll to the Google Voice section and select the option to 'receive incoming phone calls.' Otherwise incoming calls will be directed to the voicemail you just setup in the Voice app. Voice will transcribe the message for you, if able to do so and you can listen to and read them right from the Voice app. In the next option, if you so desire, you can select to receive messages in Hangouts that are sent to your Voice number.
5) Using Activity Launcher, tap top left, all activities, scroll to 'Media Storage' and select the 'Hangouts Call' as your ringtone (It should currently be set to none). If you select the 'default ringtone' no sound will be played so you have to select the Hangouts tone. (If you figure out how to add more ringtones, please post a reply with the steps to do so. I've not gotten that far or even know if you can do so).
6) Now have someone call your new number. You should be able to answer the call on your tablet. Now open hangouts and select the dialer. You can now call any number you want, for free, provided you're on a good WiFi network.
You can setup the apps up to your liking, but you won't be able to get calls through the Voice app anymore. In older versions, Voice had it's own dialer, or used the one built into your phone/device if there was one. In the Voice app you can also decide if you want voicemail messages forwarded to your Gmail.
Note: If you have a working telephone number already, you can link it through Voice. I currently don't have cellular service and haven't for some time so you'll have to figure out that part on your own
This is awesome.

You'll have to look for the thread on how to install Google Play and the services for it. Once you do that, you can install Hangouts and Hangouts dialer. This works on both the fire 7 and HD 8.
When you sign up for a Google voice number, it asks for a real number for verification and to link the account to. Once you setup the Google Voice app, you can delete the linked number.
Thanks for the tips. I am now able to place and receive calls using the Hangouts apps. Call volume is very low even though call volume setting is near max. Would be interested in link to last Google Voice app that did have built in dialer.
Hello, have the 2018 Hd 8. Installed Play, additional 3 Google apks. YouTube working, hijacklauncher 2.1, Google now launcher, Play store working. I installed Hangouts (minus voice because it's Canada). Just trying to use app to app text and call, this hd 8 is my daughter's. She can call me and text me from the Hangouts app but when I call her or text it doesn't notify even if I have her Hangouts open. When I end call it then shows missed on her Fire. Settings in Hangouts are all on for ring and notification. All Hangouts app permissions are granted. I installed on her old Asus tablet and it rings with same settings. Am I missing some steps, is this blocked now from Google on Fire?

Amazon commented out the code in the Settings APK so you can't set a default sms messenger. I still haven't been able to figure that out, but I have somewhat of an idea.
I have similar issue, got to load the play store on fire hd 8 (8th generation), but using hangouts to dial numbers returns an error "unexpected account error please try again". Sms, voicemail, videocalls to hangout contacts works.

Maybe try an older version? I'll have to look at the date of the OP and compare it with the release at the time. Also I'm pretty sure you have to have 1 a Google voice number and 2 link that number to a real working one.

Thanks for the suggestion, will definitely give a try. I do have a real number linked to the google voice one. I've had been a user of google voice for a while and like all its benefits, but just acquired the fire hd 8 (2018). Will report back if sucessful.

Thanks Dragonfire1024, I followed your advise and now i can make calls. Ended up using version 25.0.197085453. I also followed directions on thread to use the activity launcher, but got no way to receive calls. Either way i'm happy that i can make calls at least. Maybe you can share an idea how to make it work.
The same happens to me... No I can call but can't receive calls. Any solution?
Thanks!

In Hangouts settings, there should be toggles. One for messages one for calls. If there isn't anymore, there may not be, download Google voice go into settings and select the option over there. You may need to have both installed. Also make sure you have hangout dialer. And remember you have to have a working, verifiable telephone number to link to Google voice. This needs to be done only once ever so if you don't pay the bill you can keep the Google number for life so long as the linked number isn't recycled.

Well I tried different versions of hangouts and that didn't seem to make receive calls to work. I also tried various versions of google account manager and google service framework, and just got to have the contacts now available when searching in hangouts. While i was testing, noticed that seems that google services are doing sync during a fixed time, due to i don' t get any notification of past texts until i open the app or reopen it. Google mail works, but also with delay. Maybe someone that have hangouts working full on the amazon hd 8 (8th generation) can share the version of hangouts, google account manager and google service framework that is being used or if there is a way to check a setting.
