When calling with "OK, Google" from the watch it asks again and again for the name whom to call. It recognises the right name, it exists in the phone book, but it asks again whom to call. The phonebook is available and visible on the watch, I can place a call from the watch manually without problems. I can even initiate a call with my voice by telling the number, not contact name - it works.
Checked all permissions (turned off and on again for Google, Phone, Android wear both on phone and watches).
Any ideas how to fix?

So, I'm using Google Voice to talk to a bunch of people via text.. but they don't have my Verizon number. I'm wondering if there is a way to route individual people so that when I call them, they see my Voice number.
I know that I can make it so that my phone asks which I'd like to use for every call I make, but is there a way so that if I call X person it goes through voice, but if I call everyone else in my contact list it goes through my Verizon number.
Thanks!
Yes there is, when you call/recieve a text using your google voice number.. a routing number shows up. This number is unique to everyone. (When you call it briefly shows it at the top of the screen)
Save this number and if you text or call it directly from your cell phone (no google voice) your google voice number will show up. So save this routing number for whoever you want to call with google voice only.
I use Google voice as my voice mail. After changing to cm7 I cannot return calls that come in through Google Voice. Example: Someone calls and leaves a voice mail. I listen to the voice mail then attempt to call them back. When I select menu and call, the phone attempts to dial but never starts to ring. After 30-60 seconds I here busy signals. I can manually type the number into the dialer but this is not ideal. Any idea as to why I cannot press the call button in google voice to call back numbers who left a voice mail message?
Thank you!
Do you get a +1 in front of the number? I had that problem before too and eventually came to an error message. I wish I could recall how I fixed it, but double check that to make sure you're not dialing too much.
The main reason I don't use Google Voice is because it requires a 3G signal in order to place or receive a call, that might be your problem- not sure. Never heard of a Google Voice issue specific to CM7, I think the problem may be in another area- but I'm not sure.
I normally use my "normal" phone number to dial from, but at times, I wish to use my Google Voice number to initiate a call.
I now use the "Ask me everytime" option within Google Voice.
Ideally, I would like to see the option displayed, but if no response is made, to default to the "normal" phone number.
Inasmuch as 90% of the time, I use the normal dialing process, I could just wait and place the call.
Currently, if I don't make a selection, the call is cancelled.
Does anyone know of a modification to the "Ask me everytime" option that would address my concerns?
Many thanks in advance

I don't have a real answer to your question, but I typically use the toggle on the GV widget.
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...
Just purchased a new Android 10 head unit for my jeep. I'm pretty happy with it except that there is no way to do hands-free dialing. (I can set it to auto-answer incoming calls)
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro - and as some of you know, Google Smart Lock / Trusted Agents is disabled on Xiaomi devices, and only Xiaomi brand Bluetooth devices can keep the phone from locking.
So even if I bypass the head unit and say to my phone "OK Google, Call Bob Smith", I still have to reach over and unlock my phone for the call to actually go through, or hope face recognition works at that moment.
The new head unit connects to my phone, has my contact list, and I can make calls from my phone with it via Bluetooth even when the phone is locked. But I have to scroll through my contacts or search for the name by typing it in on the head unit.
So I'm looking for a way to initiate a hands-free call.... obviously it's the law right now so it's something that should be do-able.
Thanks for any help!

I am interested to know if you ever got this sorted. I have the same question. Clicking the microphone icon brings up a Google voice command screen of some sort which recognises a command to "Call <Name>" but responds with "I can't make calls yet.".
I'm not sure what is listening to the voice command if that is OK Google, Google Assistant or something else.
Feel like I might need to install something else to replace the BT dialler or at least find some configuration setting I haven't found yet...
