I love the feature of allowing me to ignore a call with an automatic text message. Is there a way to do this using Google Voice text instead of the Samsung text app?
I've thought the same, but haven't found a way to do it.

so I was wondering if anyone has any good voice recognition software for hereld. I want to do voice to text! I want to be able to speak out my text messages. for example: open text. then say my message. then say send to. hit me up if you got anything.
When you click on a contact and select the "history" tab it displays all your SMS messages with them.
I do not use the native SMS application, but I use Google Voice for texting.
How can I get the GV texts to show up in history, so I don't have to open up another application to look at my texting history?
Thanks!
I guess this is not possible.
Is there a way to set GV as the default text messaging app?

Yes, when you first install it, it will ask you if you want to make it your default.
Has anyone been able to successfully make outgoing calls through Google voice on their Sony Ericsson Arc?
I've done some searches on Google and this forum and it appears others are experiencing the same issue but there isn't a workaround yet.
Thanks in advanced!
Yes, I have been able to make calls with the Voice Search function. It works very well, similar to Vlingo.
Simply say CALL 'contact name'. If the 'contact name' has multiple phone numbers(work, home, cell, etc) it brings up a pop up box and you select the one you want and it dials.
Or you can simply say CALL 'contact name' HOME and it will find the home number and dial it direct.
Now for my question in the Google Voice search. It has to do with sending an SMS message. I am using the stock SMS app. If you say TEXT "contact name" MESSAGE "how are you?" it will send a text message to your contact with the message "how are you?"
Your contact gets the message but a copy of what you sent is not in SMS for that contact. I tested this a couple of three ways. My contact gets my message just fine and I can get their response in SMS like a normal message but I can not see what I sent them. The only exception to this is if you are already in SMS and in the text box and using a keyboard (such as Swype) that has a microphone button, if you speak your message while in the text box it will save a copy of what you sent in the SMS.
Otherwise if you are outside of the SMS program and use the Voice Search to send a text message your contact gets the message but you do not get a copy of the text that was actually sent.
Anyone else try this yet?
Using voice control to start a call is not the same as using Google Voice to make a call - Google Voice is Google's VOIP service which can be integrated into Android handsets.
I started using Google Voice for my voicemail. Seems to work OK. But I miss having an obvious visual cue on my homescreen that there is new voicemail. Do I have to periodically run Google Voice and look for messages, or is there someway to get an obviouis notification on my homescreen?

I also do not get any notification of voicemail, but I don't think I'm using googlevoice as to get my voicemail I have to call myself. First thread I found about a similar problem to mine, still researching...
You need to download the Google Voice app. It will do everything you ask for and more.
Is there a way to send SMS messages, receive incoming Google Voice call notifications or make Google Voice calls yet? Seems like this is something that Google would want to support for users like me who use a data only plan with Google Voice with Hangouts as their primary phone service like myself.

The only way I know is to get SMS messages on the watch (and call notifications) from Google Voice. Answering the call on your watch, routes it to your phone, not your watch.
Here is how you do it.
Sideload "Hangouts for Wear OS" from apkmirror[dot]com (can't post links yet)
Open Hangouts on your computers web browser.
Enable voice in the settings.
Enable the contacts permission on your watch, under the system settings.
Open Hangouts.
Restart Phone.
Install Hangouts on your phone.
