Just joined Google Fi. Is there any way to add "messages" to the google apps button?
Title says it all. I just left Google Voice for Google Fi and ported my GV number over.
Minor thing, but I miss having the function in gmail when I click on the google apps, then google voice, then it launches to web interface. I can't seem to find a similar setup for the messages for web app. Does this exist?
I realize I'm just lazy, but would be nice to have!

If you're a Google Apps user that's been SOL on using such things as Google Voice on your Captivate...
Login to your Dashboard on your Google Apps account, and then paste this link into your browser:
https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/domain.com/GoogleAccountUpgrade
Replace domain.com with your domain.
It should launch a wizard to convert your Google Apps account to utilize such services!

Pretty much.
There's still some services that Google hasn't converted over but alot of their "big" ones are now Google Apps compatible.

I think Google is supposed to send you an email when it is time for your upgrade. If you have a normal Google account with the same email address as the Google apps one then you must change it or they conflict after the upgrade has finished. You can request to have your Google voice information move from the old Google account (now renamed) to your converted Google apps account when finished. The only things you can't login using Google apps is buzz, youtube, and a few misc items. Beyod that syncing works as expected all around on the phone.

I love google now, but when I use it for an ordinary google search, I cannot open the links in tabs but have to view the link on the same page, diverting me from the google search results. I've also tried opening the results in my default browser but I can't figure out how to do that either.
Is there a way to get google now to allow tabs, or to share the search query with the default browser?
I stopped using Google now for regular google searches, unless of course I'm using voice (which I rarely do).
I find it annoying that the search results in Google now pop up so slowly, and the fact that when you press on a search result, it has to open it up in the default browser. If Google now was more integrated with the default browser I would use it more often.
Now, I normally just open the browser and type my google search in the address bar.

I quit using it for normal searches too, but I have the search widget on my homescreen and I prefer using that to launching the browser.
This frustrates me too.

Curious if anyone has found any kind of workaroinds method to get the "open in new tab" behavior?
I would have thought that by now Google would have corrected this. Silly me. .... They can't even provide "append voice note" in google Keep. I think their entire UX group for voice functions should be pink-slipped.
I know there is hangouts. But you cant edit your contacts from within the app, and cant choose which contacts to display.
I want to have my google voice number as a completely separate phone app that does not forward to my phones number at all.
Original phone: original google account with all my contacts and everything else.
New app: google account #2 with its own separate contacts and only uses data and google voice number.
Is there an app that handles google voice separate from your regular phone?
I think its just that Google/Samsung are not syncing my contacts.....I always keep the google assistant widget on the front page of my phone, so i can search quickly. I used to use it for searching my contacts and call....but now when i type in a name to search, nothing comes up....no contacts are coming up on the search....its this a new setting with Google? my note 9 always searched contacts from the google assistant tool bar.
So I d-googled my phone. WORKS GREAT - FAST!.
and now I am looking for some of the hands free features - a voice assistant.
Currently I use Alexa - (yup alexa on droid LOL) for the most part everything works as expected until you want to set appointments. You have to set a default calendar. But it only accepts M$, Google and a couple others. I cannot enter my own calendar.
So I checked out a few other personal assistants, it would seem they all have google attached to them. From sign in the assistant (which is moot since google has its own assistant) to various apps that are only used if they are google based.
Does anyone know of an android personal assistant that is void of google?
Thanks
