I received a spam call this morning but to my surprise I had the option to use Google's Call Screening feature. Originally Pixel devices only supported it alongside a few other devices. I'm very surprised to see Sony supporting it. No automatic screening or advanced spam control settings for it though.
There doesn't seem to be a mention of this support anywhere else, so I'm just putting this out there for anyone who's interested in this phone.
Of course this is using US firmware, where the feature is only available at the moment.
I am in Europe and this feature is available in the settings.

Hey guys,
I'd love to make use of the text response feature when someone calls me but there doesn't seem to be a Google Voice intent or option anywhere is there?
I heavily use my Google Voice number to the point I don't give out my cell phone number! I just tested ignoring a call with the text option and the text came from my cell phone number.
Has anyone figured out how to get it to use Google Voice? I have successfully configured texting from contacts/people and even voice actions because both had intents that popped up but nothing for the decline call feature.
Same issue here. Searched around, haven't been able to find an answer yet. I apologize if I missed something - Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This may be something I'm interested in for future use.

Anybody?
Sorry, just trying to bump this thread. It seems ridiculous to me that Google would release a flagship Android device that doesn't allow full integration with another major product so naturally related, Google Voice - especially considering how hard they've been pushing integration with Google+. (I'd love VOIP to be activated too, but that's another can of worms...)
Plus, this seems like a pretty simple issue since GV can be made the default for SMS quite easily elsewhere in ICS (and Gingerbread, Froyo) as the OP states. Hopefully I'm just mistaken, thanks for the help!
Okay, so I know that Wi-Fi calling isn't a feature native to AOSP, although hopefully that changes when Lollipop gets ported/released to the G3 D851, but I am curious of the options that you all are aware of, if any, so that I can have my phone ring when people call my T-Mobile number while I am out of service range. I know I could give people my google voice number, but I don't want to confuse some of the older members of my family with two different numbers to reach me at (make that 3 if you include work). Is their anyway to forward your carrier number to google voice temporarily so that I can take calls over google voice on Wi-Fi? Any other solutions? Your insight will hopefully help me out in finding a solution. Wi-Fi calling has become very important to me, but man, I really wanna start using one of the newly developed AOSP roms that have been released in the past few days.
Get a Google voice number and set up forwarding from your tmo number to the Google voice. It will ring when called, won't be able to text and use completely normally though.

Does the integrated messaging app com.android.messaging supports RCS?
This is indeed a very interesting question, and I could not find any mention anywhere.
Since RCS is starting to gain popularity, I think it would be important to have an open source client, but I could not find even a reference implementation.
On networks that support the RCS Universal Profile, and on phones with Google's Android Messages, that app shows additional settings pertaining to RCS. If the builtin Messaging app supports any form of RCS, (and you are looking at the code) you might see some indication of something similar (of course, if you're on a supporting network, you might be able to tell within the app itself (settings, presence indicators, etc)). Anybody out there seen such things from the builtin app?
My LOS 17.1 cannot receive RCS messages - and I don't see any options. But the network supports it. Anyone know how to activate RCS on LOS?
Coming from my moto g3 on CM13.1, I used CM's call whitelist function to only allow calls and texts from contacts. What solutions are available for the pixel xl? I'm currently on pure nexus. Root solution is fine too. I tried using call blacklist pro but it didn't work.
Specifically I want a whitelist, not blacklist. Canadian telemarketers and car dealers are surprisingly aggressive.
Somewhat of a specific question: I have T-mobile and am wondering if the Nokia 6 (2018) will support RCS if/when T-mobile rolls out support (supposedly this quarter). I'm using Android Messages and do not see the Chat feature in the Advanced settings which would indicate RCS is supported and enabled.
Thanks!
Correct.
RCS is enabled by default and Google Messages will use it and tells you automaticly about the chat function.
For me it took a few hours before Google Massages told me the RCS chat is working now.
So you are on T-Mobile with a Nokia 6.1 and are using RCS? I still don't have any indication it is using RCS.
