Google Voice - disabling it

Does anyone know how to disable the Google Voice integration?
Right now the phone is set on using Google Voice by default and I cannot access the Google Voice icon nor change the settings when placing a call.
Thanks.

What do you mean you can't access the Google Voice Icon? If you mean that you can't find it, just type voice into the search box and it will bring it up.
Once you are in the app, press the menu button at the bottom of the screen and choose settings. Then choose the Making Calls option to change it.

Google voice icon and restoration
I mean exactly what I meant: the Google voice icon disappeared and there was no way to either launch it or reinstall it.
This is what I did to fix it: I did a clean phone from the bootloader and then I set Google Voice differently. I can now see the icon.

Just an FYI I think you can also change all of these settings by logging onto to https://www.google.com/voice

I'm guessing English is not your first language because you first appear to be asking how to disable Google Voice, then say you cannot find the icon, and your fix is even more confusing, saying you cleaned the phone from bootloader and set GVoice differently. Vague. And this whole thread is pointless.

Google Now Launcher - forced to use as BT voice dialer

Brand new S5.
I have dragon mobile assistant on my phone and want to use it as my default device.
I had previously used S-Voice as my default, so I installed dragon mobile assistant, went into default applications and cleared S-Voice, and lo and behold when I hit the button on my BT headset it popped up a prompt for which program I want to use. I chose dragon and set it to use always.
At this point everything is working perfectly.
Google search updates(including the new google now launcher), and suddenly every time I hit the button on my BT headset it opens the google app instead of Dragon.
I check the default applications and Dragon is still listed as the default.
I went into Apps and cleared all the data and cache from the google search(defaults was greyed out), and went through all the other google apps as well and I cannot find any way to get it to allow me to set my default application. The new google search app overtakes all others and does not give me the option to get stop it. The only thing I can do is disable the google search app, and that disables all of the google now functionality, etc.
How do I set my default application for the voice dial and BT trigger?

[Q] "Ok Google.. call" not working on S5

Hello XDA,
For some reason, I cannot seem to make calls using the ok google function anymore. When i say "ok google call john", it will correctly bring up john and the progress indicator for starting the call moves across the screen and then it goes to a transition animation as if opening the dialer, and then goes back to the google now screen with the call progress bar again. I've tried clearing the cache and data for the phone app and have tried clearing cache and reinstalling the google app. Has anyone encountered this issue? It was fine on kitkat but seemed to start having issues after i updated to lollipop. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can fix? Thank you.

So I found out the reason, it is because I use google voice as my default number and have the setting turned on to use google voice for all calls. So it seems to bug out when you use the "ok google call" command with google voice. Sent in a bug report to google. not sure if this is a google thing or a samsung thing that needs to be addressed! but in case anyone else has his problem, this is why!

Google NOW tries calling certain contacts via google voice and can never connect.

I have a Nexus 6P running the latest version Android 6.0.1. However, it is very odd that I never had this issue with my Nexus 6.
I have a car that just has a simple phone button (Bluetooth) to press which makes a sound and at that point I can simply say something like "Call Tom Brady". The phone usually uses my Verizon network to call the contact without any problems. I have been noticing that for a lot of my contacts 'Google Now' is trying to call them via Google Voice. The phone literally says calling so and so via Google Voice and then never connects. I don't know if this is because these contacts have a Gmail account or what, but it is very annoying and it never ends up connecting.
I bet if I uninstall the Google Voice app everything would work, but I need it for my visual voice mail.
One thing I have already tried is in the Google Voice App settings change it to 'Do NOT use Google Voice for any calls'.
This did not fix the issue.
Is there any Google Now settings or Google Voice settings that anyone can think of that might help me here?
