[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] waterlover112:
I am coming from a LG G3 to the Galaxy S7 Edge. I had Google Voice working just fine on my G3. I could text/call from my Google Voice number and also my voicemails were automatically sent to Google Voice instead of Verizon.

I installed Google Voice on the Edge and it gave me the normal your carrier doesn't support automatic configuration. On my G3, I just clicked through the configure screens and selected Google Voice and everything worked fine. If I do that on my Edge it doesn't work. When I call my number, it says voicemail hasn't been set up for the phone number instead of forwarding to google voice.

I did the manual process of forwarding calls to Google Voice, *71{phonenumbertotransferto}, *90{phonenumbertotransferto} and *92{phonenumbertotransferto} and it works but it rings 15 times first. This isn't ideal.

Also when I try to use Google Voice to call a number, it looks like it is working but it is calling from my verizon number instead of my Google Voice number.

Anyone have ideas on how to get this to work correctly?

**Update**

I was able to get the time until Google Voicemail picks up shortened by turning on Do Not Disturb in Google Voice settings. This is a work around for me since I don't have people calling me on my Google Voice number. If I did, this wouldn't be an option. Still not able to make calls with Google Voice from my phone though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mwshows:
May I ask first, why are you still using the defunct Google Voice app? Why haven't you simply switched over to Hangouts?

I ask because Hangouts has everything you have asked for in this post. I use Hangouts and actually 2 Google numbers attached to my phone thru 2 separate Google accounts. This phone has the call forward feature built into the phone settings so you don't even need to dial *71,etc. Just go into phone settings and tell it which number you want to forward your calls to when they are unanswered.

To stop it from ringing 15 times before your call transfers finally to your Google voice mail, you have to stop the call from "bouncing" around I call it. In your google voice settings (easiest to see on your computer)... You probably have both "Forward calls to Google Chat" AND "Work" (or Home or whatever you call your phone you forward your calls to).

You need to uncheck forward calls to Google chat. That will stop the crazy number of rings before it transfers to voicemail. The only other way I know is how you suggested and use Do Not Disturb.

Lastly, again if you use Hangouts, it actually has a dialer app that goes along with it that you can use to dial out just as normal whenever you want to use your google number to dial out. I use it often. It works great.

I hope this wasn't too jumbled. Best of luck!

EDIT: Actually I think the ring problem is fixed with changing the call screening feature in your voice settings (again easiest seen by visiting Google voice settings via your computer). I'm pretty sure I turned on call screening to correct that issue. Been so long since I've messed with the setting LOL. But if you research call screening it actually changes how the system works somewhat, including answering calls, etc. I'm pretty sure that's how I did it. Again sorry for the long winded post.

Can you explain what you mean by "defunct Google Voice app"?

I use GV to access my mobile voicemail messages, have done so for years...are you saying I should uninstall it and I can use Hangouts to view/listen to my voicemails?

When I go into GV I can see a list of current/previous voicemail messages. In Hangouts I don't see the list of voicemails that I see in the GV app...can you explain a little more how Hangouts can replace GV, and where/how I can get to my voicemails from Hangouts?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mwshows:
Yeah I mean Hangouts has completely replaced Google Voice.

In fact, I haven't used GV since Hangouts came out. I still see the same voicemails I always have. Only now you can see everything that comes into Hangouts all in one place. You still can set up notifications in hangouts when someone leaves you a voicemail, just like in the old GV app. And you can see the transcribed message right there in Hangouts. You can either read it, or hit the play button and hear out loud. I prefer mostly to play them out loud, because a lot of the time Google's auto transcription service is pretty bad, especially with foreign accents.

In Hangouts, you have 3 screens to swipe thru to the left or right. The furthest left is the contacts/settings/etc. The middle is the screen where you would see any voicemail/ text messages. And the furthest right screen is the Hangouts Dialer (you do need to download the dialer app separate in the play store).

Try this. Delete your GV app. Go to the play store and download Hangouts and Hangouts Dialer. Then setup Hangouts. Hangouts dialers will automatically setup when you setup Hangouts. Add your Google account when you set up, and you should be all set. Then of course change your settings how you like. See if it works for you. I personally don't know anyone who uses GV app anymore. Even Google on the play store says its no longer supported.

But yes, when Hangouts came out, it was a COMPLETE replacement for Google Voice app. It's really awesome if you take advantage of all its features.

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

I should also say this. Hangouts will ask you if you want to make it your default SMS texting app and have all your texts go thru Hangouts. I personally don't do that, but you can. I don't do it only because I don't like the look of hangouts enough to use it all the time for texting. That's just a personal thing. I like to use the stock messaging app that I can keep themed like the rest of the phone from the Samsung theme store. But you can indeed use hangouts as your entire texting/messaging/voicemail platform and it will perform beautifully.

IF you only want to use a separate texting app, just make sure you keep that in mind.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] JediDru:
I do Google voice for my number and use hangouts which I personally don't much like. Is there a messaging app that can accept my GV number other than the stock GV and hangouts apps? I looked a few phones ago and nothing existed at the time to handle GV/hangouts messages.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mwshows:
Don't hold me to this because I haven't used them personally, but I believe you can use something like Groove IP. And I think there's an app on the play store called "Phone for Google Voice". But again I've never used them so I can't say for sure. Hangouts has always filled the void that I needed it to. It's not at all perfect, but Google hardly ever makes a perfect app lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] geoff5093:
You still need the Google Voice app to place calls over cellular and use your Google Voice number. Without the Google Voice app, the phone dialer either uses your carrier number, or you need to use Hangouts. Hangouts for calls has a very poor echo that everyone I talk to complains about, it heats the phone up extremely fast and kills battery, and if you are in a weak coverage area calls get dropped.

I'm using the Google Voice app fine on my S7 Edge to make and receive calls. Of course I use Hangouts for texting and receiving voicemails though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] JediDru:
I've done that for years. Was just hoping for an alternative messaging app. I've had the same GV number since the first galaxy S lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mwshows:
I don't call out much on my GV number, so i use hangouts when I do.

That being said, you indeed can get other apps... Or at least used to be able to, that would let you dial out with your GV number. Phone+ comes to mind, Groove IP like I mentioned before, and others. Some are just app setups that will allow you to pick contacts that auto dial out on your GV number. I think it's Phone+ that does something like that. I just saw a thread over in the regular S7 forums where people were having some of the same issues. Apparently when HD calling was enabled a while ago, it maybe helped to make it harder for all who used Google Voice. I see it looks like it started back on the S6 or S5. This is my first new phone since my Note 3 so go figure lol....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] turbosrrgood:
GV still exists and still works, and does a few things that Hangouts doesn't seem to do.

As far as the OP goes, I am working through the same issues with voicemail.

*edit, based on what I'm seeing, the only way to reduce the rings on Verizon's end is to call customer support and request it. I'll try it when I have time and update. Also, call forwarding can be configured from the Verizon website as well https://wbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/secure/services/CallForward.action

Verizon customer service was able to shorten the ring time (I asked for 15 seconds from 30). Everything is working fine for me, including calling out from the GV number using the stock Samsung dialer, so I'm not sure what your issue is there. In GV, did you set the "make calls as" setting to use the GV number? Alternatively using the Hangouts dialer from the Hangouts app should work also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mwshows:
I was completely unaware that calling and asking for shortening of the unanswered ring time still worked. Thanks for that info, good to know. I thought that option was long gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] KBP83:
WiFi Calling Was my Culprit

So despite everyone telling the OP that Google Voice sucks, I still think it's functionality if FAR preferable to Hangouts. Not only is the interface much cleaner, but the Chrome extension on desktop is much more conducive to texting and voicemail management. In addition, it is totally integrated with Google Contact management, which is a plus.

I switched to a Galaxy S7 Edge yesterday and had setup issues with Voice. Finally after a conference call with Sprint and Google support (Google was just kind enough to help, since Google offers no live support for free apps), we found out that it is indeed WiFi Calling that is the culprit in Voice setup. However, it's not enough to simply uninstall the native app and turn off WiFi Calling, you have to go into the WiFi Calling settings and disable the service completely. For me that was at the bottom of the 9-1-1 location settings page. After disabling WiFi Calling, my profile automatically updated, I uninstalled Google Voice and reinstalled, and setup was a total breeze, everything was right with the world, and I can continue using Hangouts as it should be, to share GIFs with my friends and talk trash about Fantasy Football.

I hope this helps anyone with this issue, the Sprint Technical Support guy said he'd run across it yesterday and had no idea what to do with the issue until now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mwshows:
I don't think anyone told him the GV app sucked. Originally I was asking him why he was still using the GV app, just to get an idea of his issues and how to better help the situation. In particular, I just said it was defunct, aka antiquated....and it is. It still has its uses as a legacy app, or as a stand alone app in circumstances, but for the most part, it's still around for legacy support. Up until recently, Google even listed it this way on the play store.

The GV app still does one thing Hangouts won't do. Hangouts will only make wifi or voip calls. The GV app WILL call out from your GV number, but it will use cellular service and use your phone minutes. That's about the only reason I see to actually have the GV app still. Hangouts has every one of my contacts integrated just like any other app I have on my phone that does the same thing. Admittedly, Hangouts contacts view is really ugly lol.

As far as the PC side, I have Hangouts installed on my windows 10 laptop, and it rings beautifully every time I get a call or text, I can check voicemails, etc. All my contacts are integrated for both Gmail accounts that i can keep running simultaneously. It works quite well. I also have Google Voice chrome extensions. Everything works fine together.

The rest is just preference and style choice. I've never had issues with Hangouts. And I never really had issues with the Voice app before that. I've also not had the unfortunate bad luck of dealing with the setup problems everyone seems to be having. I have NOT however, set up wifi calling yet on my S7Edge, so my guess it that's why I'm not experiencing all the issues people are having with setup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Trident:
I'm on Sprint, but had the exact same experience. Been dealing with it for a few weeks. And this was the only solution.

As far as using Hangouts instead of the GV app- I can't get what you guys are describing to work. I have Hangouts installed, I installed the dialer, but nothing I do shows my voicemails. I only see the text messages and a call log. I'd be interested in another option to the GV app, which I think is adequate, but not great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] steelersmb:
I was using the GV app and I tried this setup but my calls and VM's don't show up in Hangouts. I can't seem to get them to show up.

I figured it out. You have to select this option in Hangouts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Trident:
As a follow up:

Working with a few Sprint techs got me this info. GV won't work if WiFi calling is set up or enabled. It doesn't matter if you turn it off. It has to be completely deactivated.

I've been using GV for many years, and never had a problem on other phones, even using WiFi Calling. This is obviously a s/w issue. Hopefully it can be remedied in a future update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] brohan:
I just upgraded from an S4 to S7. I too have been using GV since it came out. Hangouts option to be used as a default messaging app is giving me reason to try it, as it's been horrid for quite some time. To make calls from your GV number, install the GV app and use it's settings for which number. To get GV vm in Hangouts, again use GV option to have them available for Hangouts (there is a setting in GV).

My question for the group, how do you get Verizons VM to Hangouts? The old way through GV appears to not work. Having my Verizon number forwarded to GV results in my phone not ringing for either number, but it does ring on desktop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Magnus_CA:
Dial *71 followed by your google voice number and follow the prompts to set up call forwarding.

Hello

Sorry if I'm posting what has already been asked. I can't seem to find a straight forward answer for my questions.

I have a Galaxy S6 G920F running 5.1.1 EVR (G920FEVR3QOJF),

Is it possible to flash 6.0.1 BTU right over the top without have to make any changes to CSC/root etc using Odin?

Would this trip Knox?

Should I care if it does trip?

Would I then get OTA updates directly from Samsung rather than my carrier?

Is there a downside going to BTU?

thanks in advance
[LG G2 Mini] bombaglad:
hi!

i have a problem with insufficient internal storage. i use a 64GB micro sd-xc card and have until recently used it as portable storage. but the phone's internal storage was not enough for all my apps and their data so i decided to format the sd as internal, which should allow you to move your apps there.

but as i discovered, only very few third party apps can be moved to sd, stuff like play music, drive, sheets, slides, etc. can not be moved. this puts me in an awful position because i use drive and play music a lot, and every kB of stuff i want to keep available offline gets stored in the small internal storage, so in the end i have no space left on the phone, and an almost empty useless sd.

using it as portable doesn't allow any apps to be migrated to the sd either, so i'm stuck with only 4GB of space. apps like link2sd and apps2sd don't work with marshmallow.

does anyone know how to move google apps or app data to the sd on marshmallow?? i don't want to go back to lollipop due to this...

OR, has anyone found out how i could partition the sd card in a way that a part would be formatted as internal and part as external storage? (all my attempts ended with the phone formatting the whole sd as internal)
[LG G2 Mini] mobiusm:
Hi [MENTION=6246012]bombaglad[/MENTION]

I use Cyanogenmod 13 too. You have mentioned apps2sd do not work, but I use it and it works fine for me. Try to give it another go, and make sure you correctly partition your sd-card.

View attachment 3686851
[LG G2 Mini] bombaglad:
wow! thanks for your reply. i have played around with it a lot and i couldn't get it working, i also found other forums with people who had problems with this.. so please, could you explain to me the steps you took to get it working? like, what format was the sd card first, which app you used to partition it and what format was the partition? that would really help me out :)
[LG G2 Mini] mobiusm:
I use MiniTool Partition Wizard to partition my sd-card. I connect it to a converter for usb and then connect it to my computer. In the partition wizard, I partition most of it to primary FAT32. Then the rest I partition to ext4, also primary. You decide on how much to allocate to each partition. I find using about 6 GB for the second partition will be the most I ever need.

After the sd-card is partitioned, I insert it back to my phone. When cm13 asks you to decide what to do with the sd cards, tell it the first partition is external, but don't do anything for the second one.

Then download apps2sd. go to settings and set "mmcblk1p2" for "Use custom dev block". Also check "Use public vold". Those are my settings. Then you can try and go to the "Link apps to sd card" section and continue from there. I really hope for you this works!

If id doesn't you can try to do the whole process but this time also tell Cyanogenmod the second partition is external.....

Let me know!
[LG G2 Mini] bombaglad:
i'll admit, that a few minutes before reading this answer, i simply used apps2sd's partition tool, and with fat32 and ext3 i am now able to use the linking function :) thank you very much for your assistance, it's people like you thanks to whom the xda community is as awesome as it is <3

Doesn't work for me

Hi,

I've similar problems.

My configuration: LG G3 (D855) with CM13 (build: 20160528), SuperSU 2.74, xposed framework

In CM13 I'm not able to move apps to the external SD (there is no such option).

So I tried it with APPS2SD. :

- I'm able to create two partitions and to mount the second one.

- My Problem: I always get the following error message when trying to move an app: ...apk Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]

Already tried:

- different File Systems for second partition (ext2, ext3, ext4, f2fs)

- with or without swap partition

- Also your mentioned options:

-- use of the MiniTool Partition Wizard with a primary FAT32 and a second primary ext4 partition

-- set "mmcblk1p2" for "Use custom dev block"

-- check "Use public vold"

Nothing helped so far. Still the same error.

By the way, I can see my second partition in the (rooted) Total Commander App (also in Android Settings, but there it is marked as damaged). And CM13 never asked me what to do with the second partition (only that it is damaged).

Any further ideas? Thanks in advance

Best regards

Formating SD card
