Google Voice voicemails in Phone app

During the Nexus/ICS unveiling in Hong Kong it was mentioned that while using Google Voice, all voicemails would be shown in the Phone app (alongside missed and recent calls).
They made note of a new API that allows all voicemail services to "plug in" to this functionality.
Have they not enabled this yet for the Google Voice app? I can receive voicemails through the GV app, but they do not show in the Phone app.
Maybe it's something wrong with my setup?

I didn't even know they announced that. My voicemails certainly do not show up in the call log. Although, it would be pretty cool if they did.

hey that's a good question, what happened to that feature? i watched it at the event and it looked awesome. your voice mail played right inside the call log. i havent even heard anything about it since then...

Shown right here is that feature, would love to have it

wow. that look awesome! I would love to have that. The google voice app is not very pretty/user friendly. This method is much more elegant.

Yeah, the GV stuff really could stand to be more fully integrated with the OS. For example, wouldn't it be SWEET to receive SMS via GV and then have an option to just send those messages to the default SMS application on your phone? At the moment, there isn't really any good/friendly way for 3rd party apps to interact with the GVApp. +1 for more GV OS integration!

Kinda like iMessage where it is all integrated...
I read somewhere awhile back that they were totally redesigning the GV app...maybe that's what they're waiting on?
Still waiting on MMS support. I hate that when someone sends me a picture message it simply goes into a black hole with no bounce notification to the sender or notification to me that one was sent

True, but all replies to the original incoming SMS will be sent from the cell number and not the Google Voice number.

From what I understand the ability to integrate voicemail into the phone app exists in ICS already but the carriers or an app has to write code to make it happen. So yes if google chose they should be able to use the API they wrote into ICS for GV and integrate it...I for one hope they do, having to go to GV for voicemail suks.

Group SMS

Am I just doing it wrong, or does sending an SMS to a group of people just not work the way you would expect? When I send an SMS to a group of people (using GO SMS or the default app), each person's reply comes in on it's own thread, and there is no way for a person to reply to all. Recipients also cannot tell who all the initial message was sent to.
TMO has a group SMS app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zipwhip.zipgroups.sidekick, and I know people that use it, and it seems to work, but when I install it on my SGS3, it never works (it errors out when "setting up the phone"). It seems this app is only for the SIdekick??? Why it is specific to a single phone is beyond me. I have also seen other apps that work, but they all require everyone to use the same app (WhatsApp, for instance).
There is a setting for MMS Group Chat in GO SMS, but it doesn't seem to do anything for organizing a thread for multiple recipients. In fact, I'm not sure what it does.

Stock messaging app doesn't do group. It sends them separately to each so when they reply you get separate replies. But go SMS pro fully supports group chats. Been using it for quite a while now. Below are the settings you need to check.

Thanks. I have tried those settings, but it didn't seem to work. I think the 3 minute message grouping is what is messing things up for me. I don't always get replies within 3 minutes. I guess I will mess with it some more.

Hmm..Im not sure then. I used Go SMS Pro for my Evo 3d as well and with those settings I never had any issue. Even if the replies are hours later.

And can a recipient hit reply and will the replies go to everyone, or just me?

It'll go to the group chat thread assuming their phone supports it. Its like being in a chat room. Everyone can see everyone's reply in one thread.
But if their phone doesn't support it then it will send separately

I've use" groupme" from the play store. Worked well for me, you can set it up to where they deliver and receive texts thru SMS rather than the app, the people you text with don't need the app or a smart phone.

When they reply to your text do you get individual responses or does it get combined into 1 thread? Can it also be used as your main messaging app even for individual messages or this is only specific for doing group messages?

I get them thru SMS, and yea its like a chat room type, if any one reply to it, every one on the group you created gets it, and no I don't use it as a main app, I use it to create groups and that's it's,I like using the replies thru SMS , I shut the app notifications off

Hangouts (replaces Talk)

I can find it in Play Store, it says installed, when I open it it just opens Talk.
Has anyone got it working yet? If so, how?

Try using titanium backup, or root explorer to delete talk from system/app, reboot and then download and install. If that doesn't work here's the apkhttps://copy.com/Ue2Qj

I followed the titanium backup method to install the app and now video calls go through both Hangouts AND Google+ app as well.

So there is no way to see which contacts are online using this right?

If you're on a computer, go to Google plus page and turn hangouts on, there is a green line under the picture of contacts who are online. My list of contacts that show are just frequently used ones though. I know this isn't the same but maybe it will show up in the app soon.

Strangely, no contacts show in my G+ hangouts sidebar either. Maybe it isnt implemented in my country or something. Because I removed the talk app from system and downloaded hangouts....

Mine comes and goes. If I log off hangouts and close g+ and wait a couple minutes usually the contacts show up after I go back into it.

It doesn't show status messages, status, nor does it allow you to set either one. This is a terrible step back from Google Talk. Not to mention it forcibly lumps all of your Google+ contacts in with your GTalk contacts.
That doesn't help me. I don't talk to those people. I use GTalk to talk to a select few people who have limited SMS per month and one person who uses a tablet with mobile data and a dumbphone.
Google really dropped the ball with this pile of junk app. The new iteration of the Music app isn't any better. They've been cocking everything up since the horrid 4.2 lockscreen abomination.

What messages app do you use?

I've never used Message+ before, but it's the default messaging app. Is it a good app, or another crappy verizon bloat app?

I love Handcent.
Even let's you back up sms and mms separately to the cloud. And restore. Without root.

You could call it a bloat app with actual functionality. With Message+ you can send texts on wifi (no Verizon signal) and from other devices (Mac/PC, Android/iOS tablet, other phone) and have it sync on your phone. I use it as my default because its the only multi-device texting app that doesn't need your phone to be on in order to send messages as they are sent directly through Verizon.

I absolutely love textra. nothing pulled me from 8sms for over a year until I found textra.

I just find that 3rd party apps don't run as "smoothly" as built in messaging apps. Maybe it's just my mindset idk lol..

I use it on my WiFi only tablet. Works good. Aside from that I use stock.

I use Samsungs message app. I am a little irritated that took quick reply and the detailed lockscreen info away. Along with other little things like the ability to change folder colors. Annoying, but nice phone

I use Verizon Message + to restore all my messages and then I revert to using the included Android app. I've tried many of the third party apps, but I hate hate hate the advertising and I feel they are generally slower as well.

I switch between GoSms and Handcent. Might have to check out Textra if people really like that. Also saw one called Sliding Messaging that looked kind of cool.

I moved to Message+ just for the fact I can text from my tab or pc even if my phone is dead.

I refuse to use message + because Verizon's security is absolutely garbage. I've been hacked and people have gotten into my integrated messaging and it's absolutely ridiculous what a security flaw this is. If i were you guys, I wouldn't use it.

Pretty sure no one's trying to hack me plus I keep my text threads cleared out. I'm ocd and hate the clutter.

I've been partial to EvolveSMS lately, other than that I just user stock, which is apparently Message+ now.

remove "group messaging" warning?

Is there a way to remove this warning about "group conversations being sent as multimedia messages'? Like, i get it, you don't need to warn me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I use group conversations frequently. In fact, I'd say half of my text conversations are part of groups. I've had the phone for a little while now. I think its safe to say that I don't need this little pop up anymore. is there anyway to remove it completely?
THANKS!

Yours is showing the same configuration as mine. Did you change anything in settings at all?
I use Hangouts and I haven't seen any group conversation issues.
Let me try stock messages and see if I get some issues.
Edit: just tested group messaging to 4 people and did not get a pop-up at all.
Are you with AT&T carrier? Did you change any settings relating to texting or MMS? Can you try Hangouts and send a group message and see if anything pops up?

Yeah, I'm with ATT. Didn't change any settings. I just got the phone about a week ago.
Will try Hangouts ...

Mine does the exact same. I only like samsung messages over hangouts because you can send diff types of things. Hangouts only let's you send pic and location

Are you also with AT&T? Where did you get the Samsung message app? Have you tested Hangouts to see if the problem persist there too?
The reason I ask to try Hangouts is because it's a different app and it would allow me to know if the same problem persist on that app too. If it does then we can try other solutions to fix the problem.

I'm on att and other apps don't do it. Samsung messages is the stock messaging app built into the note 4

One more thing before we try these solutions...
Are you both on 5.0.1 Lollipop or 4.4.4 Kitkat?
What version of Messages are you both on? Mine says version 1.0.0.
Here's some solutions...
1st solution:
In Messages app go to settings and click on the 3 dots at the top right corner of the app. You'll see Restore default settings. Click that and then exit the app. Go back in and try to see if that popup persist.
If it does persist then let's try this...
You have a choice of losing all your conversations or not. If you don't care about losing it then skip the backup steps.
2nd solution:
Go to the Play Store and download an app called My Backup. There is a Pro version if you want to buy it. I have the Pro version and have used it for 3 years now.
In My Backup click New Backup. Then click Data. Then click Local. Check the boxes for SMS and MMS then click Ok. Then you'll see another box asking if you want to rename the backup. You can rename it or use what it has shown as the date of the backup. Click ok. This will save all your conversations.
Once it is done go to the phones Settings. Click on the Application tab then click on Application manager. Swipe to ALL. Scroll down to Messages. Clear the cache and data and then Force Stop the app.
Exit out of the settings and open up Messages app. Make it your default app then do a group text test. See if the problem persist again or not. If it doesn't then great. You can go back to My Backup app and click on My Backups. Click on Data. Then Local and restore your conversations.
If the problem persist then report back and we'll try something else.

I am on stock 4.4.4 Kitkat. The messaging app is the stock "Messages" that comes on the phone. It shows Version 4.4.4-N910, which is the same code for the Samsung Note4.
When i go into the Message app, click on the settings 3-dots, are restore to default, i STILL get that little popup. It remains. I have even rebooted the phone, and it remains. using Hangouts does NOT have any popup warning.
