Hangouts staying awake - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else have a problem where if you hit the home button from a hangouts chat it stays working in the background? I have to back out of the app each time to get it to stop. I notice this most from group chat. Even when no one has said anything in hours. Also, I haven't noticed it from sms chats. Only internet hangouts.

Turn dialer off? (Solved...thanks guys)

Is it possible to turn the dialer off and yet keep data on?
What I'm looking to do is stream movies,listen to music and so on with data on....uninterrupted by calls,i would like the phone off but everything else on.
I've already tried freezing the phone.apk in tb pro but that didn't work.
I would really like this weekend to myself without having to loose data.
How about trying a call/text blocker app? For example, afirewall or Black List. Put all your contacts (or the most likely to call) on the blocking list. I don't know. Just brainstorming.
Call forward always

Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development
Thanks guys i like both ideas.
Nice ...call forwarding to voicemail.
Love it! Thanks jeffsf
Glad you found a method other than to turn off the dialer. I could picture a app malfunction when you really need to call 911.
Lol no doubt

Facebook Messenger problem

Hello I have a problem with Facebook Messenger on this phone (never had this problem on any other phone).
Problem is that if I open messenger from the chat heads (overlay), the app is over everything. And by everything I mean absolutely everything (including long press paste option, own messenger settings (I'm unable to change conversation default emoji, because every other messenger screen opens under the chat screen and cannot be accessed), etc.).
If I open it from the app launcher like natural app, it is all fine. Problem is only with the overlay.
Also I have some search bar in messenger, which nobody I know has there.
Anybody with similar problems or is there something wrong with my messenger / phone?
I'm running stock b180, not rooted, not unlocked bootloader.

Anyone know what this is?

A new icon has started popping up in the status bar on my SGS 6 (UK) since the recent update:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It only appears when I open Chrome, Flipboard or Facebook and is persistant for some time after the apps are closed (even if I kill the processes).
Can anyone shed some light on this please?

Yeap, WiFi calling.
I should have clarified that it happens when I am not on wifi as well. I also can't figure why it would be active in an app like Flipboard that is not in anyway a communication app.
Gonna clear and hard reset my device in case as this seems to me a little suspicious.
There is an option to turn it on or off in the notification center.
I dont have that option on my notification but it is the right icon so at least I know what it is.
Thanks for the advice guys 😀

Google Messenger MMS Group Chat Problem

I just switched from Textra to Google Messenger to try it out. Everything works great except I'm having all of my group chats (MMS) being sent as mass text (SMS) instead.
Every group chat gets this message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I go into the advanced settings menu, I don't see a group chat enable option:
However, when I take out my sim card, reboot my phone and go back into the Google Messenger app, group chat enable option is there:
Has anyone else experienced this or know why Google Messenger seems to want to force group chats to mass text? I'm on T-Mobile if it helps.
same issue
I'm having the same problem. Any luck finding a solution for this?
I think it's due to international firmware. Updated the APN settings but no luck so I'm using Textra as a workaround.

Caller Id/Incoming call screen

{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
UPDATE:
Resolved. Did not write it down, but found a running service I didnt recognize and disabled it - issue is gone.
Recently, this caller id/incoming call screen began popping up. If you hit answer, it will open to Samsung stock screen and let you swipe to answer. If you reject call, it just ends. I am up to date per Sprint (Android 7.0, Samsung 8.1, 4.4.16-11982677 kernel)
I cannot find any apps or running processes that could be causing it. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
TIA
Need an update on how to fix this.
Same problem. Driving me nuts.
Can anyone identify which service has taken over my phone answering screen?
Flashlight app. Idk how or why but when I uninstalled flashlight app this stopped. It took over my lock screen too
YES!!!
Removed flashlight app - problem solved. ?
