Hello sms - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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.

Apex Launcher

Is it possible to make the notification bar transparent and also the 3 touch buttons, like on stock launcher.

Not yet. There should hopefully be an update to the launchers in the play store soon to allow this.

Yeah same here. I miss Nova.

Yeah, I'm trying to like the stock launcher, but despite how pretty it is, I missed being able to change orientation and having more icons on the screen. I feel like the icons are oversized on stock.

Never mind. Figured out a way.
Thanks all.

Did you get this running?
I managed to find an apk and the file that goes with it, installed, but when it comes to the location part on the intro it just freezes on me

Yeah. It runs fine. I really like it.
Did you get version 1.01? That's the updated app.

Yeah I'm running the 1.0.1 version. Always crashes when it asks about location. Could you link me to the one you installed, please?

Thanks, that's the one I've been using. Always crashes when it asks about location I get to this screen and it just freezes with the background music still playing </3

Works for me. What other apps do you have running? Could be a conflict.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Closed everything and cleared with android task killer, still crashing there.
*sigh*

I don't know. I'm at a loss. All that's left is to email the developer. I did that when it stalled at black screen in the first version. [email protected].

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.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
And yes the mic is filled in
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
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
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes a little reminder once in awhile would not hurt

Is there anyway to get rid of the red triangle in the 8sms app in my messages
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

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 hangouts

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 had that issue, too. Using EvolveSMS now and have no problems.

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
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
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
