Hangouts app - Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone else having trouble with this app? It was working well for a little bit but now it someone sends me a message I won't receive it till like the next day. I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem.

No problems on my end. It's my primary way of messaging people.

Hmm. Like it'll show me when the other person has seen the message, so I'll be expecting a reply back and it will show them typing and I'll get the message, but other times I won't receive the message for a while, or I have to sign out and then sign back in and it'll be there

I'm using hangouts as my primary and the same thing happens to me. I believe that it may have something to do with my extreme fluctuations in signal type/strength. I go from 4G to edge on a consistent basis b/c I work on a cell restricted location.

I use Hangouts as my primary communication method with my work and I've not had any issues with delayed or undelivered messages on this phone yet. I am on wifi for a majority of the day, but I get my messages when I'm away from wifi as well. I am in an area with pretty strong 4G signal, so perhaps arich2day is correct about there being an issue with jumping from no signal to good signal.

Well, most of the time I'm on Wifi and it still doesn't work right

Have you tried clearing the data of the app yet? That can help in some instances.

Yes, sir

Uninstalling and reinstalling from the play store?

Since it's a system app I actually haven't tried uninstalling it completely with Titanium Backup or anything. Maybe I'll give that a try

I can't check this right now, since at work I get no data anyway, but I already installed Fast for FB as an alternate, and ready to test this out. If it works that would be great, the data dropping in killing me.
I did the same thing. I noticed my data crashed repeatedly while in the Facebook app. Uninstalled, created a homescreen shortcut to the website. Works beautifully.
Just did it, and it seems to be much better, thanks. Installed Fast for FB as my FB app.
I don't even have FB installed and had data drops.

I have been having issues w/ google data staying connected, I think its the ROM, but I can't find out, cause I need 10 posts, each one has to be 5 minutes aparts.

The Facebook App, or the Facebook website through the browser? In my case, I've had an issue with both. I have since given up on the Facebook app all together and just use a bookmark to the Facebook page. Anytime I would get the browser blank-white page, I would force-close the browser app and log back in. Typically would do the trick.
I flashed the new ICS radio and I don't seem to be getting data drops anymore

[Q] Facebook photo upload does not work

I'm trying to upload pictures on facebook but am running into an issue saying "facebook upload failed". It doesnt give any indication of what the issue is, however uploading through the website from chrome works fine. Attached are screenshots of the issue. The issue happens instantaneously as soon as i hit "post"
I've tried uploading from the gallery by hitting "share" and also from the photos app as well as straight from the facebook app. I am running on ART, and while I haven't tested it on dalvik, my friend with a nexus 4 on 4.4 kitkat on ART is uploading facebook photos just fine on the latest version of the facebook app.
Before anyone suggests it, I've tried:
-reinstalling the facebook app
-clearing data/cache from the facebook app
-re-adding my account
-tried uploading pictures from camera, pictures downloaded from the internet, and screenshots
-restoring the whole system (tried it before and after unlocking bootloader which wiped out everything)
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
I am having the EXACT same issue on my Moto X, stock, running 4.4 on ART. It's maddening.
I've done everything you've done and more. I've tried the beta and the alpha apks and nothing. This is driving me nuts, but I'm glad I'm not alone. Will be subscribing to this thread and will update if I find a fix.

Having the same issue with a different Facebook app called tinfoil. So maybe it's KitKat related?

Mine worked fine on ART for days. I'm going to switch back and see what's up now. If it works, I bet it goes bad after a couple days again. I actually sent a bug report to FB. We'll see of they follow up.

Seems that the Newest Facebook App update (4.0.0.3.3) has broken the ability to upload photos while on ART Runtime. I switched back to Dalvik to confirm and was able to upload photos. I am going back to version 3.9 (if i can find the apk) where photo uploads still work while on ART

Make sure you disable auto-update first
They will update it the second you push the apk.

Problem
Hey, I was recently forced updated and my g2 is rooted. Ever since then I can't seem to play any games from the google store, not sure what else it's done haven't had time to check . All they do when click on there app is load for a couple of seconds then goes back to the home screen, I dont know if it has anything to do with the update but the were working fine before. Is it possible to uninstall those updates or am I screwed?

Disabling LTE

I'd like to disable LTE while I'm at work because we don't get reception for it here. It then believe it kills the battery because it's constantly trying to find a signal and flips from 4g to 3g, etc.
I'm running CleanROM 8.2, which is Android 4.3. I've seen other posts that say use Phone Info, but the app crashes. I've also seen to dial a special number, but that number doesn't do anything.
Is there an easy way to disable 4g LTE with later versions of Android?
Thanks!
What's to prevent you from just disabling mobile data altogether?

You should still be able to receive calls and texts because I do that all the time on my phone and those things still work. If it does't then I don't know what to tell you.

If you disable data you can't receive texts, being on wifi enables Internet access but not texts or phone calls when data is shut off

MMS on official LP

so looks like VZW has left out or over looked (not like they didnt take their time on this update) to include the required MmsService.apk
Without this some, if not a lot of third party SMS apps will not send MMS, Google's hangout and Google's messenger app for example.
By installing this, flash it, extract it, or just install the APK. (if you dont have root this is the only way) This WILL fix the issue

Believe me...I do too, however with the stock sms app if a group message come in, clicking the notification take you to the individual sms thread for the person that sent the text, not the group chat, which in of itself was enough to drive me crazy.

From my understanding LP on vzw took away the ability to edit the apns which I would imagine you had to change to get all the tmo stuff working.

Oddly enough I had to set up nothing on 4.4.4, it just worked once I have it on HSPA mode instead of LTE/CDMA
I'm stock and rooted while my wife's is stock. We both upgraded to Lollipop and was/is using Textra before the upgrade and continue to use it without an issue. I've sent and received MMS without hiccups.
Are we odd ones out or is there some bug that I'm not experiencing and could possibly find a fix on my phone to share with everyone?
