I have been accused of a crime and i am being evicted. Does google home record everything? Can i access the recordings if so? If i can prove i didn't threaten him i would be very very happy. Please help if possible!
I don't expect that you will find what you need, but if you google "google assistant my activity" and click the first link while signed into the account you use for your Google Home, it will let you listen to everything that the assistant heard from you.
Unfortunately it is not always recording, so it will only have things from after you triggered it to listen. I'm sorry for your situation.
If Im not mistaken, Google Home, and Alexa, will only log voice activity AFTER the wakeup phrase is spoken. So if you said "Hey Google, Im gonna effing kill you Michael" then it will log that. But it doesnt log every day conversation.

I've recently starting using the built-in Google Talk client and I'm kind of annoyed that I can't seem to clear out conversations when I'm done with them. I don't want anybody who picks up my phone to be able to read through all my IM conversations.
From the Friend List screen you can long-press on an open chat and select "End Chat" but literally all that does is gets rid of the white speech bubble under their name. If you click on the name after you've ended the chat, the full conversation is still there!
I tried going onto the Gmail site on my computer and disabling chat history. That makes it impossible to look up the contents of chats from the gmail website, but the Android Google Talk app will still save old conversations locally.
I'm starting to get annoyed, this seems like a pretty serious breach of privacy. It seems like your old chats will be cleared out after there's been no activity for a certain period of time (24 hours maybe) but it's seriously annoying that I have no way to clear it out manually.
A lot of it is just organization, I hate to see an old conversation when I scroll up through a conversation that happened later. I delete my text messages pretty regularly for the same reason. Has anybody figured out how to do this?
Menu. More. Sign out.
Start google talk again and no more conversations.
The android application stores the chats untill you sign out. Or force closes.
I guess that's better than nothing, but that's still extremely lame. What if I'd like to leave some conversations open but close other ones? This just seems like a poorly designed app to me. Hopefully Google irons things out a little bit in a future release.
Yeah i know it's lame. You can also hit "off the record" from the conversation window.
Quit handing your phone out to idiots you don't trust, I guess ?
Haven't seen a way to clear the convos one by one, I doubt there is one.

That is a crap ****. I really would like it to store conversations forever. Of course there is no possibility of doing it is it?
Does whatsapp have the same behavior?
What are the cons of Google Voice?
I was hesitant during the sign-up process to enter my phone numbers, just because I was skeptical. Is there any concern?
Also, when you are on your cell, do you always get a prompt when placing a call to use your phone or Google Voice? Any way to prevent that, if so.
Using GV still uses your minutes... so I'm not sure I understand the benefit if I don't have any other phone numbers I would have sent to my cell.
I tried searching, but I think my questions are so simple there were no other posts *that I found* like mine.
Thanks guys.
Privacy Policy. read it.
you can set up gv to work over data. theres a thread here
I did read the PP, that is what made me pause and not set up the account over a month ago. I am now re-visiting the idea and thought I would solicit advice.
I did not realize it could be done over data. I will try and find that thread. Do you get a prompt each time you place a call what method you want to use? Can you set a default like other options in the phone?

theres the thread.
i don't use GV, but i use the official app. There is an option to when you want it to allow in the official app. I only use google voice for sms though. someone will stop by and chime in
I use the official app to save voicemails and to forward my google voice numberto my phone. I also have the sms and email sent with the transcript.
seriously i have no clue what to do. I got google voice on my phone it sends me to some help page that says in the upper right hand corner there should be a settings link or button but there isnt. I must seriously be missing something.
if someone can give me directions on how to setup my phone to forward calls to my google voice voicemail so there are no additional charges lol that would help.. and the simpler the better.

Then you have to go to the google voice website and enable on your account.
http://www.google.com/googlevoice/l...dium=ha&utm_term=google voice&utm_campaign=en
After you login got to setting and activate voicemail.
ok i thanks and is it free sorry i just seen some stuff on google about call forwarding and getting charged with sprint is that out dated info
I've been using it for a long time and don't recall ever being billed.
Go to the settings section on the Google Voice webpage. When you add a phone it will have a Activate Google Voicemail On This Phone link. It will give you a code to punch in and it will work.
Also, on a personally verified note, you have to punch that code in every time you change ROMs or reload your ROM. I kept forgetting to do it and Sprint and Google could often not agree on who handled my voicemail. LOL
I'm trying to use voice actions since Google added spanish support. It works fine in the sense that it recognizes commands easy enough. But when I tell it to "Call whatever" sometimes it will look up a contact in my contacts but some times, to my infinite annoyance, it will show some random person I'm assuming it found on the internet or google or god knows what.
Any idea how this is happening??
Thanks
One of the features of the Moto X that I've been looking forward to most is the Assist app, which can - among other things - read text messages to you while you're driving. However I'm a Google Voice user, and I'm not sure if that feature integrates with Voice, or if it will only work with messages received through the standard messaging app on the phone.
Does anyone know if these two play nice together?
Not out of box
Ok so Assist has no options to tell it what messaging app to read from. So, it does not integrate with Voice. However, if you have enabled the feature which sends messages to you regular app from Voice then it should read them. However, I imagine that you probably do not have it set up this way.
Until someone comes up with a Voice+ option for stock Android it probably won't work.
tl;dt No.
I think google has lost interest in Google Voice. I can see it coming up on the chopping block in the future. They already got a treasure trove of voicemails to train their voice recognition technology on, so they no longer have anything interesting to gain from supporting the service. Like Google Reader (RIP), it is a very useful service that has no way of generating real revenue for Google.
The lack of MMS support is already killing it for me. Once the iphone started sending all multiple-recipient texts as MMS, it meant I would miss important messages (with no notification that I missed it and no notification to the sender that I never got it). This wasn't a big deal when it meant I missed silly photos from people's camera phones, but now I miss real messages.
Now they are releasing fancy new features like Assist, that don't even work with Voice.
I wonder if there is a way to swap my phone numbers. Can I move my GV number to my AT&T account and my AT&T number to google voice? I like my GV number better, and it is local to my city, but a lot of people still use my "real" number due to both the MMS issue and the fact that I only got GV in 2009.
Disappointing, but not totally unexpected. Oh well. Thanks for checking!

I have no inside knowledge, but chances are Google Voice is not going away in the near future. In fact, they are integrating it with Hangouts. There is a war waging over control over the means of users messaging and there is no way Google is going to just give that up.

Google might own Motorola but that doesn't mean that Motorola IS Google. This is Moto's feature and I don't even see why they would have integrated it with Voice honestly.

You can port your number out of Google Voice just like you can port numbers into it.
