Has anyone else experienced when trying to share something from 1 app to another that hangouts is the only option available? I've noticed this problem with Plume, Chrome, and a few other apps. When in the Pocket app, it works like it should though. This is the only bug I've notice with Hangouts. I'm rooted and have Xposed Framework with just Advanced Power Menu downloaded. I actually like using Hangouts despite some of the other problems I've heard about (but not experience). Wondering if there's something I can do to fix this.
Not a issue here. It is the first in my list but if I use the down arrow I can't fit all the options on my screen

Hi guys,
I have this weird problem with my phone. I have issues with a certain "auto-back" problem with apps like whatsapp, facebook app, handcent SMS.The problem occurs when i launch the app, facebook for example. Then i tap on "Updates" and it goes to "Updates" for awhile and the app moves back as if i press on the "back" button onto the previous page.
The same happens for whatsapp and handcent. However, these problems occurs randomly thus sometimes i haf to launch the app a few times before it actually runs without auto-backing itself out. The problem only occurs on these 3 apps. sometimes CHOMP sms too.
Anyone has similar issues? I am currently on Starhub firmware with JIT and apps2sd enabled. I am overclocking and also running SetCPU. but it seems to running without OC and SetCPU dun really help. The same issues also plagues the phone on the US CBW ROM.
I would appreciate any help from anyone.
It happens to me also but in Facebook only. No problem with Handcent. Not sure about Chomp coz i never use it. I thought it's just a bug in Facebook app

i dont really use the facebook app, but ive noticed the same behavior with handcent
Doesn't seem like there is a specific forum for google voice (there probably should be)
Recently I have the most annoying of issues. Seems google voice will not open. I did the usual trouble shooting. Uninstalling google voice, deleting the data, re installing from market several times. Still has the issue where I click on the icon, it flashes up, then the app disappears. Its kind of like giving me a taste. Trouble is I am on prepaid and completely using google voice so this is essential for me.. It literally takes me about 20 times of clicking the icon for it the app to pop up and stay up.
Any thoughts on this? I have no other issues with any other apps. Well once yesterday messaging did this, but it only flashed once..
I installed an app called watchdog lite earlier this week. Thinking perhaps it was that app I added google voice to the "white list" but it wont stay up. Most annoying. I have no other task killer (ATK, etc) or anything. And actually watchdog just monitors CPU usage, will not kill apps.
Thanks!
For future reference this issue seems like a permissions fix is the solution.

I'm having an issue with opening hangouts and the keyboard not inputting anything into the message field. The keyboards responds to keys pressed but nothing shows up.
I have to close Hangouts from Recent Apps and reopen it to get the keyboard to work. Happens quite often but not everytime.
Problem is on a Nexus 5 with 4.4.2. This is my second Nexus 5 so I'm thinking it's a bug in the software but haven't found anyone else with the issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks

or it could be a mod that your using(xposed?), or an app that you have installed interfering. honestly, this is the first ive heard of such an issue. you are using the stock keyboard?

Yup stock keyboard. I can't think of any apps that may be causing the issue other than "Notify Me" I haven't looked deep enough into whether it only happens randomly when swiping from the popup notification or not.
Going to have to pay attention to that.

Same issue here, I found your topic on another forum OP
Stock nexus 5 here.
I've experienced this a few times. Usually I just back out and re-open the message thread and It's fixed.
Good to know I'm not the only one! It's a pretty irritating issue which is about to force me to find a new app for SMS!
So I solved my issue. I was using a notification app called "NotifyMe!"
Since removing it, I haven't had any more keyboard issues.
Yeah, even I face this issue... However, I'm on a custom rom and use SwiftKey.
I face this issue not only in Hangouts but also when I use whatsapp as well.
But it happens rarely so didn't give it much thought..

You can determine if it is a 3rd party app interfering by rebooting your phone into Safe mode. If the problem goes away, you know it's one of your apps such as the OP's "Notify Me" which appears to of been his cause for this issue.
I also had this issue running Swiftkey,switched tinthe aosp keyboard and haven't had an issue with it

I haven't had this kind of issue on my Nexus 5 - the only issue I had was (on a Note 3) after the big update, Hangout conversations were laggy in animations (upon sending a message, receiving or even opening the keyboard) and couldn't find a fix.
I don't know what's causing your issue but what I did on the Note to 'fix' it was uninstall the update. Maybe this will make it easier for you to use? The only problem I had with uninstalling the update was it doesn't include "merged conversations" but to most people this is no big deal.
Go into the Play Store > My Apps > Hangouts - and hit "Uninstall" and it'll drop the update. You won't get the fancy green box around your sent messages, (both incoming and outgoing) are grey, but this increases the performance.
Hope this helps.
thanks.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and nothing.
the program works smooth and fast everywhere else... no lags.
only when finding a contact
When I previously posted, I was on Stock 4.4.4. Last night I flashed CM11 and have been using Hangouts and I had the same lag issue I described + your contact search lag. I went into the settings for Hangouts and unchecked the option to display my Google Voice information and after a reboot, I see no lag issues for me.
Maybe this helps?
Attached screen shots for ya
thanks for trying to help, btu I dont have google voice, thus I dont have this option to uncheck.
It's actually really annoying me.
Yeah, most people don't have Google Voice - it was the last option to try. Are you using a launcher and/or have you changed (via Developer Settings) the animation scales?
Sometimes these could play an effect, but why it would only be affected when you search for a contact via Hangouts is beyond me.
*Update* I'm learning this might just be a flaw with the version of Hangouts because my has the same delay again now.
Tonight I noticed this strange bug when trying to pick an emoji inside WhatsApp, not from the keyboard I'm using, but from inside WhatsApp. So by now y'all are aware of the option to auto hide the nav buttons and also if you want to keep the little black dot on the left side so you can more easily swap options. Well, when I have my nav buttons set to auto hide I notice when trying to pick an emoji inside WhatsApp the keyboard goes all wonky. I recreated the issue in the video below:
I've switched from Swiftkey and Swype and the stock keyboard just to make sure it was just WhatsApp that was the problem. I'm sharing this with their devs in case it can help with an update to fix it. Not a major problem just a strange and funny bug that I came across. Have any of you noticed something similar?
Nope, works perfectly fine for me. Just verified with Swype and Samsung keyboard.

Oh it's so good to know I'm not the only one having this issue. Yeah I encounter the same thing you do. Tried submitting this issue to whatsapp devs, but they told me this has got to do with the phone itself, not the app. So I resorted to using Samsung smart tutor for some help. After some extensive tinkering by the technician, it was still the same. So in the end, I was told to go to a Samsung service centre where they can help me out in detail sighs...
One thing I've tried that can totally eradicate this issue is to not have the show/hide button option on. Turn it off(yes I know this means you'd have to have the navigation bar there at all times) & this problem will go away...
I'm still very confused though as to whether this is a problem with whatsapp or the phone.
I have reinstalled whatsapp and solved the problem

Youre absolutely right. It solved the issue for me too. Which is baffling though. The Samsung technician uninstalled then reinstalled whatsapp again on my phone, & there wasn't any improvement after that. But doing it by myself now solves the issue lol.
Thanks yeah
finally i found something about this kind issue!
i have a problem like this, but in my galaxy s7. that comes since the android 7, but persists in the version 8.
I already try to reinstall the app, but without positive results.
here is a little different. almost always when a change from the whatsapp emoji back to swiftkey he lag almost like in the video. looks like he starts all over again instead os just show again. the worst case is when i hold in some message to respond, but the bugs happen and i lose my selection.
Someone have another ideia to solve this?
In a galaxy s8 from my friend he has the same issue in android 7, but when upgraded to 8, started to works fine.
