Google Phone App & Visible Voicemail - Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions

I have an unlocked Samsung S21 5G and I've installed Google Phone from the Play Store. I also set the default phone application to Google Phone. However, in Google Phone settings, (Settings --> Voicemail), the Visual voicemail toggle is "on", but the status message seems stuck as "Activating voicemail".

The Samsung pre-installed and I have not activated it yet. I don't see a way to select a default voicemail application in the Samsung settings (Settings --> Apps --> Choose default apps). My carrier in the USA is Visible.

Same issue here. Anyone got a solution?

It doesn’t work. You need to use carrier’s visual voice mail app.

I also would prefer to use VVM in the Google Dialer rather than the stock One UI app. Almost a year later, has there been any progress or new information on this?

Bluetooth Message Access Profile

I've seen threads for many devices started but no responses so I'm wondering if it's a bug in Android or not. I use MAP to see texts on my Toyota Camry. It's supposed to be able to read email as well. However, there are times where the MAP settings aren't saving and the look actually changes. In one instance I get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
With this screen the settings won't save and messages can't be read. If I reset the phone, however, and go back to the MAP settings it will sometimes change to this:
With the setting screen like this, the car can access text messages but not emails. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

The setting likely means enable/disable the Bluetooth Message Access Profile (MAP) and not the email app. Their e-mail app probably doesn't even export the data, never mind implementing a bridge to the MAP.

Hangouts dialer defaults to speakerphone on Nexus 5

Weird issue on my Nexus 5. Whenever I make a call via the hangouts dialer, it will only play sound on the speakerphone. The issue doesn't occur on my Nexus 6, or my Galaxy S4, when using the same account. It's almost like the phone is using the tablet version, and thinking the phone doesn't have an ear piece. I also don't have the icon to the left of the head/shoulders with the + sign. See screenshot below (I just pulled it from a google image search). I've checked the version, and all my devices are on the exact same version of the hangouts dialer.

This forum is fast paced. Bump. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling hangouts dialer, but no dice. It's a backup device, so I can do a factory reset without losing anything, but wanted to see what ideas people out there have.

Changing Default Dialer

i am out on the road for 12 hours a day and i have always had issues with Nexus Dialer or This phone dialer app that comes with Xperia XZ1.
The reason is because my screen is always on navigating and when i receive a call, a little pop up windows pops up, i have to click on it to make it full screen and then swipe from bottom and choose a custom message to reply with text. it is not convenient while driving,
i had iphone 6s before this for 3 months and the only feature i miss from that phone is its simple click to answer or reject a call with a text with less steps.
i tried many dialers in google play but i cant make any of them default dialer because making them default don't work. is there anyway i could achieve this without root?
you just have to go to default apps in the applications sub-menu.

Keep Screen On - Quick Setting Tile - Addon App

Ever since coming from previous custom ROMs I have missed the option/quick setting tile that enabled you to keep the screen on indefinitely.
MIUI 10 still doesn't offer this feature/function, but i was able to find an app that works well on the MIUI OS.
There's an app called Wakey on google play store that adds a quick setting tile to MIUI and doesn't bug out like other apps I've tried.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Just be sure to enable "Aggressive screen on mode"
Optional: If you don't like seeing "Wakey is displaying over other apps" message you can install AutoNotification or TidyPanel from google play store and make a rule that blocks that notification.
Be sure to also make the following change, App Settings > Installed Apps > AutoNotification or TidyPanel > Autostart ON & Battery Saver > No restrictions

Question Performance settings in Hidden menus/activities

So I just noticed having installed the Activity Manager app through F-droid, I've not yet set up root, so many of the activities will be unavailable to launch. But one app with a couple of hidden settings not accessible at all via device menus is the Performance app. Not only do I see options to enable ZRAM which is disabled by default and have no intention to activate it. But the other hidden menu is of interest labeled Quick Launch. Though that one is found in settings as a simple switch, the hidden menu accesses a page that allows you to set up to 3 apps for Quick Launch.
Has anybody tinkered with these options? Is it better to leave them alone and select no apps for quick launch or is there an app that should absolutely be on that list that I'm likely misusing?
