Hello all! Two weeks ago I updated to the most recent version of Google Hangouts (v20.XXX). I also have been using Google Voice with my GV # in conjunction with Hangouts on android 7.0 for several months. Last week, however, I updated my Xperia Z5 premium dual via OTA to 7.1.1 while on a business trip to another part of the U.S. Immediately, I could no longer make a voice call. Though I had GV setup to always use my GV # for calls, now each call attempted presented me with a splashscreen option to use the carrier # or my GV #, and no matter which I chose switched to the Hangouts Dialer to complete the call. However, when I attempted to make the call then (by touching dialer button), a splashcreen opened saying that I can't join a call already in process, and offering to either "Close the Program" (Hangouts Dialer) or "Cancel". Cancelling brings you to the Dialer with the call supposedly in process, but never connecting to the recipient. In Safe Boot, the phone didn't have access to Hangouts, and was successful in making voice calls. I tried reversing updates to Hangouts, clearing cache and data, all without success. I finally had to simply disable Hangouts and uninstall Hangouts Dialer, and now my calls are completed normally. Since everything with my setup was working prior to 7.1.1 just fine, I have to think that there is a problem between the latest version of Hangouts and/or Hangouts Dialer and android 7.1.1 (or perhaps Sony's version of 7.1.1 for our phone). Please let me know if my experience helps anyone else, or if you've also had this problem.

I noticed that i could log into goggle voice and get my text messages but i would rather not used it anymore and i cant figure out that answering system thanks guys i would highly apreciate your help
I had the same issue. Went you integrate Google Voice it will automatically intercept your sms, along with calls. If you use a computer and go to Google and sign into Voice you will be able to modify your settings there. That or download the Google Voice app, sign in and sign out. That allowed me to use the native sms app
I tried signing in and out of the app but still doesn't do it anytime someone calls me I slide screen to answer then voice setting ask to press the #1key to answer or#2 to voicemailthis setting is really annoying I can't get rid of it
This may be related to the pushed update. I had previously setup and tested my Optimus G to have voicemail routed through my Google Voice number via the apk. It was working properly after setup on Friday.
Sometime after purchase I received a software update notification which I tried to ignore without success; it pushed after 3 refusals.
Did not lose root and could not see any difference with the new software until I received a voicemail. All voicemails now go to the ATT system voicemail. I tried to rerun the google voice setup but it did not seem to change the system voicemail.
What I did was manually set forwarding options to my google voice number.
Hopefully this helps anyone who uses google voice for messages and transcription.
sign into your account on the Google Voice website. Click on settings, find your cell phone and "Activate Google voicemail on this phone". They will provide you the procedure to set up forwarding. if it seems that its already set up deactivate it then re-activate it.
So Google Voice doesn't work reliably with the P6. If you try to make a call through Google Voice (official app) the dialer gives the error "Call Not Sent" and the phone instead makes the call through the SIM card's phone number. This must be due to some customizations Huawei have made with the dialer. Sometimes if you hang up quickly, the call will be completed through a Google Voice phone number, but this is rare.
It also might be related to the permissions manager, but disabling it still didn't resolve the problem. I tried different dialer apps, but that also didn't fix it. Any ideas? Making GV calls over data (Groove IP, etc) isn't an option for me.
I've emailed Huawei a couple of times without any response and contact Google Voice through their support page, and basically there is little hope that this will be fixed anytime soon. Unless CM or MIUI are ported.

I'm actually talking about the Google Voice app:

Still crapy woman android with nose covered ..
In leu of the newly released Hangouts app with Google Voice integration and Hangouts Dialer release, I downloaded and tried out the new Hangouts Dialer just now. It's awesome! However, I'm noticing that if someone calls my standard number or my Google Voice number the stock LG dialer intercepts the call and makes me answer it through the stock interface.
So now I want to permanently disable the stock LG dialer apps safely. I used Titanium Backup to freeze the "Answer Me" app but the calls still come through the stock dialer. Anyone know what else is required to freeze/uninstall to get this to go away?
EDIT 1:
I partially figured it out. In order to freeze the stock dialer app from intercepting calls to your Google Voice number, freeze the following 3 apps...
Answer Me 2.0.0
Phone 4.8.24 (VOICEMAIL)
Phone/Messaging Storage 3.5.16 (SMS/MMS/APN)
This solves the issue for your Google Voice number or if you've forwarded your standard number to your Google Voice number. However, if you don't have your standard number forwarded to your Google Voice number, calls to your standard number will still come through the stock dialer for some reason...
EDIT 2:
I also noticed that if you click on a phone number in the phone's browser (Chrome in my case) or Google Maps, it still opens the phone number in the LG dialer app, even though the app is disabled. So to make a call in Hangouts you need to copy the number then paste it into the Google Dialer. This obviously isn't a great solution by any means. Hopefully we can figure out a way to make the Hangouts dialer act as the stock dialer across everything within the phone.

Yeah, it's obnoxious. It's got me missing the AOSP ROMs on my Nexus phones. With AOSP you can just set the Hangouts Dialr as the default phone app and call it a day.
My understanding is if you stop forwarding your number to your cell phone on the Google voice website, it will stop ringing your cell number and the only ring will be Hangouts. You may find you also need to remove the now largely uneeded google voice ap, it conflicts with hangouts... NOTE: if you do this, you will not receive GV calls if you do not have a good data connection. You also wan't dial out on GV if you don't have a data connection. Since they aren't going to your cell number anymore.
I did a search on the forums and didn't find any relevant threads, so I'm creating this one.
I have my Google Voice app set to show a prompt asking which number I want to use before each call. However, I've noticed that on occasion the call will go through using my carrier line before I even make a selection on the prompt. I tested this further and set Google Voice to always use Google Voice line to make calls, then I made calls to another number I have access to. After several test calls, I found that about half the time, the call still goes through my carrier line. There wasn't any indication on my phone that it was using the carrier line or Google Voice line.
If I use the Google Voice app to make a call, it will always use my Google Voice line, even though it's going through the phone's stock dialer app.
I'm wondering if anyone else has similar issues and what solutions there might be to fix this. I wanted to replace the stock dialer with Google's dialer app and Google Contact app, but it seems that Google's dialer app is not compatible with the Mate SE/7x.
Can anyone think of a solution? I think that by somehow making the stock dialer delay for 2-3 seconds before each call, it would give enough time for Google Voice prompt to show up and freeze the dialer until I make a choice. I'm not sure how to do this, though.
Alternatively, are there any good dialers to replace the stock one?
I am having a similar issue on my Honor 7X and my wife's 6X. GV has been working great for months on both phones. Now (I think we noticed it in late April) when someone calls our Primary Phone # it doesn't get routed to GV Voice Mail, it goes to the Carrier's VM. For my wife, when someone calls her GV # it doesn't ring on her phone and is routed to her carrier VM. When she sets removes her "Linked Number" then calls to her GV # are routed to GVM but do not ring on her phone.
I have tried installing an older version of GV, no luck, and I have since been updated to EMUI 8 (Android 8.0) and I still have the same problem. I'm wondering if it's a carrier issue/change? We use Consumer Cellular (ATT network). When I go into Call Forwarding in Call Options it will not let me set a Call Forwarding number and tells me "Unexpected Network Response."
Hopefully someone will fix this soon. My wife uses her GV# for work.
Having the same issue, it's not consistent, some calls go to gv some to carrier vm...
