So, I personally don't have a Nexus 5, but I am asking this question on behalf of my friend.
I finally convinced him to make the switch from an iPhone to an Android device. Currently, he only has one issue. He is trying to transfer his texts from his iPhone to his Nexus 5, however, Google Hangouts continuously crashes during the process. He currently is using Go Sms without any issues, but would rather use Hangouts. Any input on what may be causing Hangouts to crash?

Just got my N5, and aside from unlocking and whatnot that I'm doing right now, I quickly noticed no SMS app like in 4.2/4.3
Is hangouts now the substitute? If that's the case, then that blows. Ideally I wanted to use titanium to restore all of my SMS messages from my galaxy nexus.
Damn....
Hangouts is the substitute, however, check the themes and apps section, someone posted a functional AOSP messaging app. I don't know if I recommend restoring from your GN though, but that's entirely up to you.

Yeah, everything is getting integrated with Hangouts. It blows losing the old messages (I had some saved for years on there), but Hangouts is actually pretty nice.
Ya, I'm sure its killer and I don't mind change, but my wife is a little different. I don't think she'll like losing all of those txt/mms messages. I bought two nexus 5's and although I'll be ok with losing my sms's, I can't see her feeling the same opinion. lol
just install hangouts on your gnex. it'll pick up all of your sms's. then backup hangouts and restore it on your n5. I did that exact process on my n4

I used Ritesh Sahu's SMS Backup Restore app today from Gnex stock messaging to Hangouts on N5. Worked great, just had to follow the messages about setting the default app.

Just out of curiosity. Why do you need texts from years a go? What's so important about them.

I guess nothing. So long as I can extract the mms's which I know there are apps out there I guess that's all that matters. Maybe I'll just tell her to suck it up so I can save myself some work eh.
Is there a fix for this? I don't use GV. Just the standard sprint vm service. I did notice that my phone/messaging service isn't running. (See pic) Back on my gnex i had the opposite issue and would clear and force stop it to get the vm icon to go away. Now i can't get it to notify me on my nexus 5. Any tips?

You pretty much have to use GV if you want voicemail notifications on Sprint with this phone. There's really no way around it, unfortunately.
More reasons to head to tmobile

not a fan of GV, simply due to sms ending up in both messaging and GV.
tried youmail and seems to work fine. i would prefer vanilla voicemail but youmail seems to be the least intrusive.
Should that service be running? Is that possibility why my notifications arent coming up?

So. I have looked, And looked. Tried XDA, android central, Google search. No answers. Even called Google about this. I had an HTC incredible s before the n5 running 4.0.4. I would be connected to my WiFi. Mobile data would be off. I would send a MMS. Mobile data would turn on, send the MMS and turn off. All the while WiFi was still on. Now after some search it seems this was a code I'm the framework of sense ROMs. The phone was rooted and running mike1986 ROM. Awsome feature. Fast forward to today. N5 will not let me do this. My wife's moto x is the same issue. Now I understand this is not a huge deal to some but to have to turn off WiFi to send AND receive even the notification of an MMS is annoying. Is there any way to get around this? I have tried 8sms, and another app. Can't remember the name. No luck. Thanks guys!
No one?

@montrealer99 use textra does exactly that and can send sms and mms straight over wifi and it uses ur actual phone number
Thank you. Tried it today but still no luck. I find it hard to believe its so complicated for Google to fix this or at least add it as an option after 4.0

So it seems that as a battery saving idea, mobile data gets turned off when WiFi is connected. Will not allow MMS to function.

Have you tried go SMS? My dad uses it & it has helped him.

Same thing. Now one person at my work has a n5 on a different carrier and it works. Another is on the same carrier as that person with a gs4 and it does not work. Both are running 4.4.2

If say, I were to create a superb Google voice messaging app, who all would use it?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Depending on the features, I would. I completely agree that the Google Voice app is lacking many features.
I'll keep track of this thread and if you need beta testers, I'm in.

So, specifically, what features would you guys like to have in this app?

I've been looking for a new gv app for years. I keep hoping hangouts will merge soon. But the things I would like out of gv messaging app are common in other messaging apps like threaded messages. Not split up like gv does. Custom sounds per contact. A pop up quick reply message. Those are the things I would want most.
Batch delete. Is really the only thing I really want from GV. Anything else is just a plus to me. I live in an area where T-Mobile gets real shotty reception and I have hundred and hundreds of items in 'Missed' in GV. Trying to delete them is just absurd.
Alright! Let's see what I can do for my first app!

Good luck! I look forward to trying it.
I've been searching the internet off and on for a month or so, and haven't found any solutions: How to get rid of the Google voice dialer that launches when the general Bluetooth button is pushed, or replace it with Google now. You CAN'T just freeze it because it IS NOT an app, so please don't suggest it. I'm running c-rom v7.0 (android 4.4.3) I don't see ANY reason Google still is using the voice dialer, not Google now that can do so much more, I'm willing to try almost anything as I'm finding this increasingly irritating. Remember, it is NOT an app so I can't freeze it or uninstall it. The Bluetooth device is not important as I've seen the same problem for all kinds of Bluetooth's, I'm talking about the general call button found on almost all bluetooth's and some earbuds/headphones.
