Not sure I'd this is the right place to post as I'm not sure if this is just a nexus 5 thing or not but I've noticed a couple of apps have updated on my friends phones from the play store with new ui and mine haven't changed.
My wife's nexus 4 and my friends HTC one he m7 facebook have both updates a week or so ago with a new ui and mine is still the same.
Also according to play store hangouts has updated today with a new ui which merges conversations and stuff now but I don't have that either.
Is this a nexus 5 thing?

No idea about hangouts but the facebook ui is rolling out to users slowly.

I had the same thing as well, had to sideload the hangouts update apk
I think its just a rolling update for those 2 items.
hangouts still shows the 4/21 update, but it wasn't the new UI. Same happened back when they were updating Instagram for video a few months ago - it said that date was the update but it wasn't showing as an update in my apps at the time.

Facebook gives the new UI randomly to some users. They aren't rolled out through Play Store updates. Both UIs are built into every version of Facebook.
The Hangouts app was updated today. That means it just started rolling out on the Play Store. You will get the update most likely by the end of the week at the latest. They do this in case there are issues in the update. This is a feature (rolling out updates) that Google uses for almost all of their app updates. It is a bit annoying because it may take you a few days to get a big update, but in the end, it is good for users.

Android market 3.3.11 was pushed to my phone this morning. New interface, better performance, and better navigation.
If you have not got it pushed yet, you'll be getting it very soon. To force the market to search for the update, go to your apps, find market updater, and clear data.
Cheers!

3.3.11?
wasn't this pushed awhile back?
think I've had 3.3.11 for atleast couple weeks?
remember being pushed to my phone right around when Google music went public...
Also got the new market earlier today after buying some of the 10 cent apps.
Also got the new market today, had seen it on my old nexus one a few weeks back. Seems about the same speed but I did discover a bunch of medical apps I wouldn't otherwise find.

i still have the old market...i am unsatisfied with my phone.
Guys, is anyone of you experiencing Sense interface restarts every time an app is installed through the market?
I can't find if the culprit is this new market, an incompatibility with some apps I installed or a behavior due to the heavy Sense v3.0...
Has anyone been having issues with whatsapp this week? I'm constantly getting delayed messages (30-45 mins late). Its so bad that my outgoing messages will go out and then suddenly I get messages from 20 mins ago so the conversations are mixed up. This is happening to me and my wife who is out of the country right now and several of her family members too. Just wondering if any of you guys are seeing the same behavior as well. I've searched Google for any news about this, checked their twitter, etc but can't find anything about any issues.
Thanks!

No, no such issue. It does sometimes take a while to send (even on 60Mb internet), but nothing that dramatic...
Could be the new update from 01 Juli. I've had it happen with a previous update a few months ago. Seems there are more people with recent functionality issues since the new update. (Play reviews) It's why I put off updating untill it starts whining about it, I'm still on the previous update.
Thank you! I didn't think to check the play reviews. Yep, a fair number of people saying the same thing.

If you continue to have issues with whatsapp I recommend using viber as an alternative, it's essentially the same thing but better quality servers in my opinion. You can even make free calls internationally.
Sent from my One using xda app-developers app
thats not actually a solution bro
Sent from my Canvas 2 using xda premium
Yeah its not. I already convinced everyone to move to whatsapp from kik, plus my wife can't sign up for viber right now since she is out of the country and using a local SIM.
Having said that, the fact that viber syncs with a desktop app gives me tons of incentive to switch chat programs again. That's always been my one complaint about whatsapp. I hate being at work and having to pull out my phone to message people when I have a full keyboard sitting right there in front of me. This will be a godsend assuming I can convince all my people to switch yet again.

Hey guys, has anybody tried had sync? I always used it on my nexus devices, however, the last update for it is on October 6th, way before KitKat release date. I've read through some of the reviews and some have mentioned of it preventing phone from going to deep sleep and causing wake locks. That was on a galaxy phones though, no mention of issues on nexus 5. I have just got the nexus, don't really want to install something that's not fully compatible yet.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Working fine for me.. Just got my phone a couple hours ago, so can't really say much on the wake lock part. But, the contacts sync up and its fine so far..
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Why not try it for your self? If it causes problems just uninstall it. Plan and simple. Not like it can brick your phone because an app isn't 100% compatible.
Working fine for me too.

I have sync.me on one of my old androids letting it update my contacts...good idea if you have a old phone laying around...not sure but you could use haxsync like that too.

I did when I got my nexus. My battery died faster than expected. I looked through logs, and noticed that yahoo weather was draining a lot of battery on the background, ended up uninstalling that and haxsync because I figured that it could have been both as android usage was also high. Today, everything was fine. I will try to reinstall it.
I do seem to get some contact pics synced, I'm guessing by default Facebook app still doesn't sync contacts on stock, right? Pictures might be coming from Google +?

MersauX,
Can you please tell me where you found it? What link? When I search for the Haxsync APK, I find a lot of sites, but I am always a bit leery at downloading them from these types of places since I worry about the files authenticity. Thanks in advance.

Thanks but it's not currently available on the play store. That's the reason I asked in the first place.
I've never had any wakelocks using haxsync, and it has never shown up in my battery stats ever.

I noticed that since the last two updates of Google Now, it doesn't update it's theme anymore which corresponds to daytimes. Only if I pull down the cards and do a manual refresh, it updates again. Is this a bug?

I cant make sense to this.. me and my girlfriend both have the same device M8 - rooted & S-OFF same firmware and radios and ROM but for some reason.. her facebook app version is 8.0.0.26.24 and its from the market and mine is version 7.0.0.26.24 directly from the market...can someone explain why this is?
Some folks are getting an option to update the app directly through Facebook and not the app store. I would uninstall the 8.0 version as it is not official or known to be legit.

My Facebook keeps randomly updating even tho I have auto update turned off for all apps. But Thai one still updates. And I think that when it does update its an 8.0 version. Whatever version it is the whole ui changes and I hate it. How can I make the version I like stick? Think every time I reboot it updates, and don't think it's they the play store either that it's getting the update? I don't get any notification of it when it does, it's just there when I open Facebook again.
You sure one of you didn't join the beta program?
Also, this should go in Q and A

I've been on beta for about a year now, still notified of updates when they are ready. This gives me no notification of update, just updates on it's own even tho it's not enabled. Frustrating.

What's more strange is that my version stays the same after updating, Even tho it looks totally different 8.0.0.3.24
I never use my FB, only rarely to check a photo or 2 that gets put up of me. Popped on sometime last week to notice an entirely new app layout. No update from Play, no update notification from FB app. Girlfriend, same phone, users FB all day still has old one. Kinda pissed, because the few times i did look at my feed, i wanted it sorted by time, not this 'most popular' BS, and can't find an option in the new app for it.

Beta or not, shouldn't update if auto update isn't selected. This is the only time it's done it. It's extremely annoying cause I HATE the new ui but can't make an older version stick no matter what I do. And just discovered it updates regardless of reboot or not.

Well look at it this way, you will eventually be forced to use it, so just get used to it and they will change it again in 3 months anyways :/
One of you either signed up for the Alpha or Beta version at some point. It will carry from device to device.
