Good enough for me, even if it's coming from Dr. face Lee

Don't get me wrong, I loves me some Google Voice and use it for everything. But that's a transcription from my inbox, and about 60% of them are about that garbled. Some are fine.

Yeah, I can almost always get the gist of a voicemail from the transcription.

I just got a notice that my Hangouts and Voice were merging and it looks like it went through all the way correctly this time.

I can't wait for mine to go through so I can switch off of cyanogenmod. The primary reason I'm tethered to this ROM is for Voice+ which let me send texts through hangouts.

I really want to try an android L preview ROM.

I'm looking for a to-do list app with the functions that were available on the defunct Astrid Tasks. Mainly, the ability to set repeating tasks with more than just the usual weekly, monthly, daily options. For example a repeating task due Mondays and Thursdays every two weeks. Bonus points if you can set notifications so they can't be dismissed unless you check them off as done. Anyone know an app like this?

So it looks like Google is back to rolling out GV/Hangouts, just got mine. It's really neat and all but it seems to be missing a critical feature or I'm missing something... You can't start a conversation with your native number.

I've been using MXPlayer for years. I don't know if it does non-wifi playback, but I would imagine so. I just browse to something on my PC with EStrong's and MXPlayer plays whatever it is just fine.

Yes. If you choose a contact to start an SMS thread with it defaults to sending via GV and there is no option to send from your native number.

I can continue with current SMS threads that are happening via my native number but not make new ones.

There's no way to quickly differentiate on a per-hangout basis, but you can go into Hangout's SMS settings, and there's a "send SMS from" option you can configure. Default is "smart reply" which is the behavior you're seeing. Instead you can configure it to send all messages from either your carrier number or your google voice number.

It definitely needs to be more front and center and be toggled per hangout, I agree.

For folks who are getting the Hangouts integration, is there a web site you can use for reading/sending texts? I use the Voice site for that pretty regularly and I'm really hoping there's something equivalent after the migration.

The text bar at the bottom of the hangout tells you which number it's sending SMS from, at least. So if they make a long press on that let you toggle sources that'd probably be ideal.

"You can send text messages with your Google Voice account through Hangouts in Gmail and on Android devices."

It looks like it also works in the hangouts chrome extension. I now have a SMS option on the top bar.

Yep! Unfortunately the desktop client appears to make a separate conversation for each number you message for a single contact. The mobile client does keep messages from a contact to your different numbers in a single conversation, though.

Hangouts in Gmail or the Chrome Hangouts extension is how you do Google Voice SMS after you are merged.

For years the Voice page had my main number listed as my GV number also. I go and check it today and apparently the number has changed? Is this a common thing? Have I been confused all these years? Should I contact Google about it?

I'm pretty sure you still need the Google Voice application installed if you want to make regular calls through GV from your phone's dialer.

That worked before if you set Hangouts as your default SMS app.

Or, at least I think it did... I don't get many texts, and there's still a fee ppl who send texts to my carrier-supplied number.

Speaking of hangouts, what's the best app to have texts pop up so I don't have to open the app? I've tried Pop Up SMS, but I you can't delete texts from it thanks to 4.4.

Also, it seems you can't turn off SMS notifications but keep hangout notifications? It's either all or nothing right? I don't want Pop Up and Hangouts telling me I have a text, but I also want to know when I get a message from hangouts.
