Google hangouts - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know this has maybe been mentioned before but are people still having issues with the double messaging bug within hangouts? I've read that its because of low signal and maybe a carrier issue but I have full signal and changed sim cards twice! Surely Google have picked up on this???

I haven't had any problems since day 1. might be because I'm using team blackout clear hangouts app

I always used the stock hangouts app and I never faced problems with it.

hangouts works flawless here except the rom im using isn't accepting mms pics (ROM issue not hangouts)

Wish I could say the same guys. If you Google 'hangouts sending double messages' you'll see that it seems to be a issue across the board.

I get it randomly from time to time. I'd switch but the video calling is pretty smooth

Yeah I'm the same. I really like hangouts as my SMS app. Don't want to be changing it.

I've only gotten a double message once so far out of the weeks I've had this phone. Not even sure it was an issue on my end

Okay Google doesn't appear on widget?

Hi guys, on my Nexus 5 Okay Google works all the time, except for the fact I've never seen it say to say Okay Google on the widget. Should I worry or it might be better, so everyone will not know to always mess with my device and I? I also know I have the latest Google Now.

And yes the mic is filled in

I'm not 100% sure but I THINK that it stops saying that on the widget after you've used the "OK Google" command for the first time. Mine had that same message at first but it vanished after I actually used it
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Oh true maybe, I don't really remember seeing it. Maybe I was too excited and used it right away ?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yeah I was wondering about it too lol for some reason I enjoyed having the little animated text reminder on the widget

Yes a little reminder once in awhile would not hurt

If you install SlimKat rom, theres an option to use the original SMS app...
Sorted you were right it was to do with a message
Thanks for us help
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Kitkat for the Nexus 4 already comes with a messaging app. You just have to set it as default.

I uses SMS+ to back up my SMS messages from my old phone to GMail. I can't seem to restore them t 8SMS or Hangouts. Has anyone else been able to restore their SMS messages from another device to their Nexus 5 successfully?

Doesn't send my mms though. It's got potential.

I'm using AOSP MMS.apk and love it. Haven't looked back at hangouts at all. Stupid idea on Google's part.

Google voice with hangouts

So I don't have cell service yet but I'd like to get my voice messages through hangouts. Is it possible? I'm on paranoid android with Franco kennel.

Yes. Go in your Google Voice settings and under sync and notification, select messaging app under where you'd like to receive your messages.

But then I can't send messages out without cell service.

You will need to be connected to WiFi. Test it out and post your results back.
Google voice will just reroute you messages to hangouts but it will still use wifi to send the messages.
Sent from my Nexus 5
I've already tried the suggested in this thread. No bueno at all. It don't work it stays stuck on sending when I start a message to a contact.
That's the only way I know of getting GV messages in Hangouts.
I've never tried it without service. I guess hangouts itself is totally dependent on cellular networks by default. Sorry couldn't be of more help.
Sit tight. I'm sure someone else will have another idea for you.

Voice+ in CM10/CM11 will do exactly what you are looking for!

Some chef should be able to compile it with PA. The code is available on Koush's Github

Hello sms

Just started using this because hangouts was being funky with group text. The system UI is amazing but its sort of sluggish. Is it just my phone or is the app that slow?

I have experienced a bit of lag on Hello SMS as well. Personally, I use Evolve SMS or another sms app built off of the AOSP one (the AOSP one is really smooth )
On my old phone lg p990, Hello SMS was not lagging at all. Here on my nexus 5, its a bit "sloppy" don't know whats up with that, maybe they changed somthing in the new updates.

You can always try the alternative : 8sms http://goo.gl/U3lO6x

I just really like the UI and the fact that the messages pop up even though I'm using immersive mode

I emailed them and told them about the issue so I guess if I don't see an update soon I will stay on it. I really didn't have an issue with hangouts until my text started randomly disappearing.

No Sound During Google Maps Navigation

Hi all! I've noticed this problem since 4.4.2...now I've upgraded to 4.4.3 and the problem is still here thus I don't think it's a rom problem but it's surely something wrong with settings (I've controlled them but they seems ok). Audio is almost "perfect" (normal) in every situation except for gmaps. BT is OFF..I don't use it...please help...I hope a full wipe will not be necessary...
thanks all!
