I just got the Optimus G a couple days again and in the specs for the international version says it can do voice memo's, but I can't seem to find a native voice memo's functionality. I just went to the play store and got a third party app that works, but just wondered if I'm just not seeing it and if anyone can help that would be great thanks.
There's a stock app called voice recorder if that's what you mean.
How To Do Voice Memo's

Ya that's what I was looking for but there's nothing in the app drawer that says voice recorder or voice memo, one that says voice commands that's it which I thought was weird.
If you use Google voice search and say "Note to self..." you can mail yourself a voice memo.

Hi guys,
I found an old guide on setting up Google voice to work with the gtab but it's out of date and no longer works. Any status on getting Google voice setup on Gtab for phone calls / texts? thanks!

I downloaded the .apk from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11828239&postcount=4
Sideload-installed it and it fixed it. It moves the "Skip" button when it goes to pull VM settings and lets you bypass that.
Works fine for SMS now...haven't tried to listen to a VM yet.

Thanks, I tried it but I'd like to be able to make a call/receive a call. Is that possible? Also, how are you sending an SMS from it? I can only see the list of voicemails.
I'm running vegan ginger, and just downloaded it from the market. It works fine but you need a 3rd party application like skype to make calls voip. The but texting and reading voicemails is good

You need to make sure you have a regular Google voice account and a Google voice number. There is a lite version which you can only see voicemails. You can check on the glove voice website

Seems to work ok for me - I picked a sipgate number as "this phone's number" so it skipped offering to capture vm.
VoiceMail playbacks fine, notification of VM works
SMS send works/receive notification works.
Calls... don't work (on device, anyway)
Calls don't work because we don't have a app for calls. Google voice can use skype or another similar app to call, but most aren't free

So far the SGS2 is great except for one thing, the antiquated voice mail system app.
As much as the iPhone sucked a chubby, it did have that one good feature. I’ve searched the Market and Forum for something comparable but came up empty handed. I’m not looking for Dialers, Contacts, Voice Dial, or anything else fancy; I just want that damn Apple Voice Mail interface.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Would love to see someone put it in the stock Phone/Dialer.

i felt the same way until I installed Google Voice, its is great! Does visual voicemail and it transcribes the message as well. A little tricky to set up at first but works great!

do you have to use your google voice number or can you use your own number?

Install Google Voice from the market, and then run it. Just follow the steps.
Don't know why I didn't install this earlier cause it freaking rules.

Google voice is the best out the bunch. Especially love the transcripts, always makes for a great giggle.

From a web browser www.Google.com/voice then go into the settings.

you can use google voice for free texting from your actual number? I used heywire for free texting, but people that texted my real # weren't notified that I couldn't receive texts, then I split an "unlimited" with a friend for $30/mo
Google voice does it for free from your real # without error?

yup. Or you can choose a new gvoice number, like having 2 lines, but ones is totally free! And people can call and text that number, and you will receive it on your device, also you can choose before each call whether to call from your g voice number or your reg number.
For some reason any text message opens in the messaging app only, any way to at least have an option to use Google Voice?

if your saying use google voice in text messaging app then you can change keyboard to google voice
if your saying for google voice to read your text messages then i dont think thats posible yet,
excuse me for misunderstanding what you wrote doesnt make much sense to me
Sorry, I should clarify... I'm trying to make Google Voice as a "messaging" option on my phone. For example, if the phone recognizes a number and gives me an option to call or text, I'd like to be able to text via Google Voice; right now only the messenger app opens.

i dont think that can be done on a z2' i think a nexus can because its got that google now direct acesss
My old Samsung could do it, the phone just recognizes a second option for messaging (similar to having multiple browsers and clicking a hyperlink). Just not sure about now. Maybe if I uninstall/install?...

If you're up to KitKat, the option to have Google Voice as a default SMS app has been removed......GV and Hangouts are supposed to be merged at some point, eliminating the need for separate apps.
I have been using Google voicemail for years, much better than Verizon and free. Well since my 5.0 force its not working any longer. I cant seem to figure out how to get it back , anyone??
No one here uses Google voice for Vm??

Hi guys. I use google voice for calls and texting. Is there any way to set google voice as default txt app so when I try to use google assistant to send txt it would use Google voice rather than SMS app that comes with the phone? I have Pixel 3 XL
I wa searching but could not find the answer.
Thank you. Charles

Same boat here. I switched for my business and would love to send sms mms from gv number without Hangouts, as i only use stock messaging app. But as of now, it seems to really lack support and I keep reading gv messaging continues to have some glitchy bugs. Interested to see if they start supporting more soon.
