Broken Google Hangouts Dialer topic

During some upgrades to Lollipop (5.0.1) and the newest Hangouts (2.5.816xxxx) and Hangouts Dialer (0.1.816xxxx), something got broken and I was stuck in this endless loop of error messages with the Hangouts Dialer.
"Phone calling is not supported for this account with this version of Hangouts."

Annoying! I had some issues with a Google Voice number, my cell number, and all the "seamless" integration Hangouts offers across all my devices.

To fix it
go to hangouts
hit the three lines in the top left
select settings
choose your gmail account
go down to Account under "Phone number confirmed"
reconfirm your number(s)

and that sorted out my Google Hangouts Calling feature.

Moto Voice and Hangouts - Outgoing text uses stock messenger topic

I think I found a bug with Moto Voice.

When you use Moto Voice to send a text, it sends the text from the stock messenger app even when hangouts is set as the default SMS app.
It only happens when you use voice commands to send text. It could be through either Moto Voice or OK Google.
Another issue I've found that it it sends out my carrier number rather than my Google voice number?

Anyone else having a similar issue? I'm guessing it's more of an issue with Google than Moto Voice.

Microphone problems and google hangouts issues topic

Is there anyway to improve the microphone? I know a while back people had mic problems but was there an actual fix? When I use Google Hangouts I have tons of problems with people hearing me. any feedback, thoughts, fixes?

Hangouts Dialer As Default Bug - How to properly file a bug report upstream? topic

Hey guys, I need some instruction on how to file an official bug report upstream for the android team and what information captures I should include and how to retrieve those? I am including a description of the bug/problem here on the off chance that anyone knows of an existing fix or workaround.

PS. Stock unrooted locked encrypted google play store variant nexus 6 64GB midnight blue with the latest OTA updates and all apps up to date, no "user modifications" made....yet

I have set up hangouts & hangouts dialer as my default MMS/SMS client, and I have ticked use hangouts dialer for incoming calls in hangouts. My google voice number is the same as my sprint mobile number thanks to sprint google voice integration, I have disabled all forwarding phones in google voice options. When I get a call to my sprint number incoming hangouts dialer shows up alone and works perfect and unanswered calls go to google voice voicemail.

When I open chrome and click on a phone link I get the choose default popup that has the options to select "phone dialer or hangouts dialer" I select hangouts dialer and tap on "always", then I close chrome reopen it to a new phone link and tap the phone link and it again opens the choose default dialog even though I just set hangouts dialer as my permanent default a second ago, it continues to do this EACH time no matter how many times I set hangouts dialer as my default dialer. I have tried disabling google dialer in settings(defaults option for google dialer are greyed out), turning off mobile data & everything but WiFi (don't see how that should change anything, and it doesn't change anything).

So to sum it up I can not set hangouts dialer as my default dialer on a google play bought nexus 6 running stock everything latest updates all apps up to date. The default dialer selection " always" just does not seem to get set when always is selected. Me setting hangouts dialer to always is not remembered.

To make matters worse when I select hangouts dialer and tap "always" it opens hangouts one time and it DOES put the number into the dialer but it does NOT hit call or initiate the call, like the default dialer does with phone links.

Further, after attempting to set hangouts dialer as default "always" 20 times, when I do "OK google call xxxxxxxxxx" voice command it shows the blue google dialer logo there's nothing to tap on to change what dialer OK google opens and it opens it with the default google phone dialer, is there some trick to make a call using hangouts with OK google? Is the trigger word not "call"? I've tried ", hang out with" which seems unrecognized and a few others. This really effects me as have two android wear devices and I use hangouts as my primary SMS/MMS/phone dialer and when I make a call through a wear device it doesn't use hangouts and it doesn't show in my hang outs call history.

I have installed the google voice app and selected the options "view and play voice mail in the phone call dialog". (Most likely unrelated).

If anyone knows a fix or workaround for this I would be seriously thankful.

Any help on how to file a bug report with adequate information upstream and how to motivate the android team to fix this is also appreciated!

Thanks.

Hangouts VOIP Audio is Broken -- Can We Figure Out Why, and Fix It? topic

[Okay... I'm posting this because or seems like there's a lot of chatter about this issue but for some reason it doesn't seen like a damned thing had been done about it, and that's not cool in my book. And yes, I'm cross-posting this between Android Development and Original Android Development, because it effects both groups.]

Okay... Having determined that this is something that I can't fix, I submit this logcat to the group:

http://pastebin.com/Av4P7H8Q

As you may (or may not know) using Hangouts VOIP calls is BORKED, and it has been for several days. This seems to affect all downstream CM12 ROMs, at least for the LG G3 D851.

Take a look at that logcat... It Is a MESS. Why are cameras being called ajillionty times for making a VOIP call? Why is there no path to the necessary VOIP_MIC component? When you realize that all 8000+ lines of this comprise *only a few seconds* just how...odd...things really are.

It is my understanding that this began after a pile of CM12 commits several days ago, but I'm not certain exactly when. I seem to remember someone is $droyd$'s Illusion ROM thread had the exact date(s).

Surely amongst all the developer brainpower we have amassed here we can figure this out...

So: any ideas?
