I disabled a bunch of services months ago, but forgot to test hangouts because I don't use gv messaging a lot. I just found I can no longer receive message in hangouts (SMS is OK). Are there services needed by hangouts to receive gv messages? My phone is samsung s5 with lollipop.

I am not sure how this happened but it is really great and I would love to recreate it in the future.
I have an Galaxy Tab 7.7 Running the stock ROM from Hong Kong.
I installed Google Voice from the market and have it syncing with my work number. It is able to send and receive texts from my work number. However somehow it has been able to receive texts from my personal GV account as well. Replying to these texts will reply from my work number.
Edit:
Seems as though an app called Talkatone is the culprit. I have my personal GV account tied to this app. Once I select the "Check SMS on this account" option it will somehow forward messages to my Work GV account even when Talkatone is off. It only forwards messages as they happen it does not seem to cache or sync them so if my phone is off and I get a personal SMS it will not show when I turn it back on.
I wonder if there is a more elegant way of doing this? I would love to permanently be able to forward all my personal SMS messages to my work number if this is possible.
I cannot for the life of me get hangouts to send or recieve MMS messages. Stock works fine. Hangouts is fine with SMS. However with MMS, it just keeps failing to send. I am on the newest version of hangouts from the play store. any help?
Any way to make hangouts the default app to send SMS for google now? It seems it will only use the default messaging app even though I have hangouts selected as my SMS app.
I have been a google voice user since the grand central days. We used to be able to send an text from google now and it would use google voice to send the text. Seems now that we can not send a text with our google voice number via google now. Kind of makes my moto360 a bit sad.
I have reset my default apps, I don't get a popup to use hangouts instead of messaging. Any help would be appreciated. All I want to do is use my google voice number to send texts from google now. I'm on a MotoX, but my Nexus 5 does the same thing.
I have set up HangOuts to merge both my SMS and GoogleVoice. If I receive a voice mail from a contact, it gets threaded into my SMS conversation with that person. How do I delete the voice mail and not the entire conversation thread?
Thanks

This is relatively easy. It cannot be done through the hangouts app. You must do it on the google voice website OR google voice app. Delete it in google voice and it disappears in hangouts. Also, if you delete the hangout, ALL voicemail and SMS will be gone (with no trash can to recover them from). So, use GV to delete voicemails and use gmail "chats" to selectively delete SMS.
So I just bought a used E5823 on swappa, didn't know it was the international version until I received it. So I have t-mobile but the google messenger app doesn't have the setting the use MMS for group messaging. Weirdly the option is available for hangouts (when using hangouts for SMS/MMS), and the newly updated Google Voice app also does group messaging. Is it something with my APN settings? I'm fine using hangouts, but it's just bugging me that I can't figure it out.
