Free Wifi Calling is back from Google - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hangouts dialer is added to play store. You'll need to get Hangouts 2.3 from somewhere else in order to use it, or wait until official release.
Tested with Airplane mode and Wifi on, and it works! Free calls!
note: I had issue sending SMS using the new Hangouts with Custom ROM.

hangouts is just laggy for me ever since the update! or maybe i had too many messages stored. :X

This app seems to breaks the phone app. After you install it you then don't have any sound on the phone app when making or receiving calls! This happens after the phone has been on for 2-3 hrs. After a reboot it works for a while, but then it stops again!

My dialer is completely toast. Cant hear any calls and the other party can't hear me. Reboot does not help. So far I've uninstalled the hangouts dialer but that doesnt seem to help.
Can somebody post up the stock 4.4.4 dialer APK so that I can revert? Thanks.

Hangouts Dialer and Snapchat both cause the bug.
In my experience rebooting fixes it.

Its easy to screw up your voice mail when playing with Google Voice. I did this just a couple weeks ago...
Here's how to fix it:
1) Go into your VVM app.
2) Hit menu
3) Select "Compose"
4) Send a blank message to "[email protected]"
5) Hit "record" then "stop" as soon as the stop button becomes available.
6) Hit "send"
Within a minute or two, your voice mails should begin downloading like normal.
You shouldn't have to reboot after this.
Thanks! I did this, and I now get 9016 messages telling me that I have a new vm, so thats good, atleast i'm getting notified, but I still have to call in to hear the messages. VVM is still not getting the messages.
I uninstalled google voice and youmail btw

I'd give Sprint a call. They may need to re provision your voice mail.
Are you using a 3rd party SMS app, by any chance? The same thing happened to me a few days ago when I installed GO SMS and then turned off the stock message app's notifications.
I am using go sms intact, so what should I do, just turn back on stock notifications? Thanks btw!
when enabling youmail it sends a code to your Sprint VVm to re reoute it. when you want to switch back you need to call Sprint.
that was it alright, uninstalled go sms pro and got all my VVM's now! yay! Thank you!
Anyway to actually keep go sms and get my vvm? I'm assuming jsut a setting that I need to tweak?

There's a setting in GO SMS that let's you disable the stock SMS... This is what breaks the VVM. Instead, all you need to do is go into the stock SMS, hit menu, and turn off the "display notifications" option.
At least, that is what worked on my Moment last week. Since ET has a black background sms app, I haven't felt an urgent need to replace it yet... Although I really DO dislike the bubble-style display...

[Q] Dialer: Stock AND LG ???

I'm on a UK G3, stock and unrooted.
Basically, sometimes when I call someone it will use the LG dialer, as I like. HOWEVER sometimes it uses the stock android dialer...Why does it have both?
With the stock android dialer it screws up my phone, as I can't then multitask as if I leave the screen I can't get back to it... Going back on the phone app takes it to the numberpad to call a new number.
Help?
Cheers
EDIT:
Here's a screenshot of the two dialers. The stock one kept coming up until I restarted, and then it was using the LG one. Why is this happening?
Anyone please help?
No one else experienced this? Seems like it's just me :/
My friend did you install any other dialer application lately?

Nope. Not installed anything to do with contacts, dialer or anything. It just sometimes uses one, sometimes the other. Really odd!
i had the same experience. it happens to me when the incoming call is from hangouts.
so when someone call you via hangouts the android dialer shown up.

Can't send SMS on AOSP Roms.

Does anyone else have issues with sending SMS on aosp Roms? I've searched for an answer but can't seem to find what the issue is.
What messenger service are you using? I use hangouts which requires an internet connection. As long as your APNs are set correctly you should be able to send and receive no problem.

Thanks. I use hangouts also but I found what was keeping me from sending SMS. It was voice+, I use Google voice and every time I restored all my apps(google voice included) it would activate voice+ and not allow me to send messages through SMS because of some setting. It wasn't till I restored each app one by one and tested SMS that I figured it out.
Glad I did though.

Sms issues

I have only had my Sprint GNote4 since Friday morning and i love the phone. But, i started having a odd issue today. All of the sudden my phone will not send or receive sms text messages, it just says message failed to send. I am using the stock messaging app, however i also tried hangouts and got the same result. What is even more strange to me is how i get texting to work again. What seems to work is i attempt to make a phone call, it immediately fails, but then on the second attempt the call goes through. ...then my text messages all go through. I apologize if someone has posted this, but i didn't see anything about it when i searched.
Anyone see this issue too or am i just special?

Do you by chance have an airave and live in an area being upgraded? Had that issue where I live. If so, turn off the airave and see if it changes the issue. Sprint has a newer version they will swap out if this turns out to be the problem. Hope this helps.
If you mean the update in the system aettings, yes i did try that. Thanks for replying though.
No, i do not have an airwave, but i do believe i am in an area with Spark, i have the litttle swirling star icon next to my LTE icon. Thanks getting back to me.
Here is what it looks like. Sorry if i sound noobish, i just switched to Sprint.

Thanks for the tip, i will try it the next time it happens. Im thinking of flashing a custom ROM to see if it is some sort of bloat crap causing it.
Using the phone here in india on a cdma carrier. outgoing sms works fine. Incoming sms dont! Tried to work around a lot. no avail. Ooh and on GSM sms works fine. but on cdma. nothing

I am still having the issue, and I also have found that my phone calls are not coming through all of the time. I am starting to suspect my SIM may be the cause. I am currently using my phone with LTE disabled to see how it goes.
Do you have adblock or another ad blocking app installed? If so remove the app and see if that fixes your issues.
No adblock apps installed. It happens on stock and custom roms too.

Hangouts taking priority over Messages

I have been having this issue since yesterday morning where as the title describes that hangouts is taking priority over messages. I literally will not receive messages unless hangouts is selected as the default app. I was thinking that this may have been started once I got a bunch of updates through the play store. However, I uninstalled updates and disabled Hangouts attempting to force the problem to stop. This to no avail.
So is anyone else running into issues such as this. Or, does anyone have any advice as to how I could remedy this issue. I know it is quite silly, but I love being able to use GIFs while texting people and hangouts doesn't support googles GIF keyboard for some reason.

This is a tough one. I've been there before but it was a while ago and I found the answer I believe on G+ but let's see if we can get you back on track here. Under settings->apps-hangouts what shows under SMS app? Click it and make sure at the bottom that sms app is showing Messages. Also in the Hangouts app itself go to settings and make sure SMS is disabled. Let's start there.

So yeah I have already done that. Messages will send the message, but the received message will come in through Hangouts. I am going to do a factory reset when I get home (the wifi at my office is terrible). I will see if that makes any difference. I hate to have to resort to that, but I wasn't having this issue prior to the most recent updates.
So I figured out the problem. I am on Project Fi. Within hangouts there is a setting in accounts that takes all calls and SMS through hangouts. Turned that off and now I am good.
