I've just bought a Nexus 5 and when I type text messages with hangouts I can only see the last 4 lines of the message.
I'm in the habit of sending long texts - 5-6 texts long - with my previous phone, HTC One S, using their stock messaging app the message would scroll up the screen so I could see it all until it went off the top of the screen
How can I replicate that with Hangouts on my Nexus, or at least resize the reply window so that I can see more than 4 lines?
Cheers
There's one way I know that can solve your problem.
You need to have your phone rooted and Xposed installed.
Then there's a mod called "SMS Xposed" that gives you the option "unlimited textbox".
Which means "Removes the 3-lines height limit for the SMS typing box".
Hope this helps
Thanks. For the moments I'm not rooted so I've installed GO SMS Pro which offers what they call 'big edit'
When I use SMS Xposed I stop getting notified of messages. Hangouts and SMS.

I installed Go SMS because i love the features especially the pop notification. Using the app, I've come to realize that text messages are not being sent. It just stays there and never sends. I looked at HTC's messaging app and the text also displays there are being sent but never sends.
Has anyone else had a problem sending texts with GoSMS?
I uninstalled Go SMS and using just the default to see if Go SMS was the one causing the issue
maybe I am the only one.
I've had this issue as well. Sometimes it will just say text not sent and never send.
Other times I will get an error saying text not sent but it did indeed send so I end up sending two of the same.
Best thing you can do with this is pull the SIM card and re-insert it. This problem, if existing, affects more than just people who use GoSMS as GoSMS is just a skinned texting surrogate. Sure, it sends and receives texts, but it does so using the frameworks of the main messaging app on your device. I've encountered this problem with the main messaging app, and I just pull the SIM or put it in airplane mode for a few seconds then take it off and it's fixed it every time.
Hope this helps.

Does the issue go away after doing that or does it come back? Should I turn off the phone when I remove the sim or should I do it while it is on?
If a text doesn't send for me I can still send one right after and that one sends fine.
so for the past 2 days i used HTC's messaging app and everything always sent. just now i redownloaded GO SMS and the second text i sent, it did not send so it must be something else
try handcent
Go msg might have bugs on ICS

it's an uglier app but I did download it. So far so good
For what it's worth, gosms works fine for me other than the recipient used to get duplicate messages. I froze the stock messaging app and changed gosms settings to control text delivery and it's been all good so far. It's not an ics compatibility issue, it's sense. Hope that helps

Go into settings and press the advanced tab. Scroll all the way to the bottom for important tips. Then check the box for stock messaging uninstalled

So i have found out what is causing my text not to send. If I reply to a text using the pop notification while I am in another app like Google Chrome or draw something, the text does not send. When I go to go sms, I can see the green arrow showing that it is sending but it never does. The only times I can successfully 100% of the time send a text from the pop up notification is if I am on the home screen instead of within another app. Can anyone else test this for me to see if I am the only one with this issue?

I had the exact same problem with duplicate messages. the freeze worked for me. i had no more issues with messages being sent but i no longer have root access so i can't confirm if that would have changed over time. I have no issues right now.

So even if you reply from the pop up notification while within another app, your text message sends?
Since there is no way to root the AT&T HOX without it being discovered by htc/at&t, I haven't rooted and therefore can't freeze the messaging app

Not sure if you have solved your problem yet, but ChompSMS has worked well for me since the latest update to cater to some of HTC One X's quirks.

I had completely forgotten about chomp. Thanks for reminding me. I started using it and while I still get messages not sending if I reply to a text from the pop up notification, it doesn't do it nearly as much as go sms. With go sms, the message not sending would happen one after another but not with chomp. And even though I don't like the sound, I've set chomp to make a sound after a successful sent message so at least I can tell if my message has sent without having to open the app.
Thanks again for mentioning chomp

I'm having the same issue with texts not sending from the pop up window. It doesn't happen all the time but enough that it's annoying and I always go to the app to make sure it sent, which kind of defeats the purpose of the pop up. I haven't noticed whether it was when I'm in another app or not. However, it's not that it just doesn't send, it's totally lost. There will be no record of it. Other times messages seem to just get stuck sending and I have to click edit and resend in order to get them to go through.
GO SMS has also become very laggy. I can't really type when it's sending or receiving a message. If I'm typing during this time, it's delayed in showing what I've typed and auto-correct and word suggestion don't work. Also, when I leave a conversation and go back to the main screen, it takes several seconds to update the threads. Long enough that I can click on one but then it takes me to the wrong one because it's updated. I thought maybe I just have too many messages. I've set it to limit messages to 700 per thread. Anyone else experiencing these issues? I think I'll try Chomp again until these issues are fixed.
Hey,
I'm using the stock messaging app on a stock gs3. Non stock apps don't have this issue.
But what happens is if I scroll to a conversation quickly and click on it, it will open that conversation for a fraction of a second then suddenly a different conversation will open instead. Can result in embarrassing text messages to the wrong person if I don't pay attention.
Anyone have this issue? what can i do??
I have an odd problem. I'm using Handcent as the default SMS app instead of Hangouts. When I send a text, it shows double text in the app, but it doesn't actually send out double. The other side only gets 1 text which is cool. however, it is pretty annoying and takes up a lot of screenspace in the app.
When using hangouts to send text, it doesnt show double. Handcent recently updated it's app to support kitkat. Anyone else have isssues like this using third party SMS app on the N5?
No issues at all using this:

Confirmed, also having this issue with Handcent. Can't lose Handcent without losing popup message notifications, so I'll deal for now

Solution
Hi,
I had this problem also but think I figured it out! Go to Settings>> Apps>>All Apps >> Google Hangouts and Disable it. Then restart your phone. Things are working well on my Nexus 5 now when I send and only one message is shown in Handcent.
I had the same issue, and I corrected it by uninstalling the Handcent Emoji addon... If you have that installed, it tends to not play nice.
HTH!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I tried both suggestions, disabling Hangouts and uninstalling the emoji plugin (rebooting after each), and neither corrected the issue. Hopefully Handcent fixes the problem in an update soon!
I removed handcent and then reinstalled it and set it as default sms app before opening it the other day which resolved the issue for maybe 2 days then it just started showing double texts again
I had the issue, I removed it for now giving Hangouts a try.
I like the idea of 1 application to handle the functionality.

GO SMS also had this but it stopped out of no where..
I just removed Handcent again and once again reinstalled it and made it the default sms app in settings before opening up Handcent and I'm back to showing one sent text again
Having the same issue, usually a reboot solves it for a minute or five. sent email to developer
i posted a fix one post up although lets hope they can sort it with just an install

Yes, i have also this problem. did anyone fixed this ?
I am having the same issue and I have made a little discovery: the thing only happen (at least for me) when the mobile data are activated. Yesterday I was turning crazy with Hangout that doesn't rung, handcent that made me send double sms and go sms that shows the popup window.
So I installed Go sms and deleted the other two apps: today when I was using my phone with mobile data enabled, it sent two sms (the other person received only one). Than turned off data, enabled Wifi and the issue stopped. It's quite weird
It's all happening to my handcent after upgraded to 4.4 I am getting double text out but not actually sending double to the receiver

I had this issue. Could never get it fixed. So instead I use 88sms. It took a bit to get used to it cause I've had handcent since the G1 but 88 has a pop up too and it doesn't seem to lag at all like Handcent seemed to do sometimes.
I have had the M8 since release and I've always had the issue of no new notification, if I receive a text while the screen is on and I'm still in the current conversation. Example: I'll text someone back, put the phone down without turning the screen off but don't check it unless I hear the notification go off. I'll get a new text but I won't receive a notification (vibrate, ringer or LED).
I've tried 8SMS and Hangouts and the issue is still there. I've tried to search for any solutions but nothing has pointed me to a similar thread (could be keywords I'm using). For now, I try to hit the home button when I'm finished sending my text in hopes I would get the notification.
Can somebody point me to a fix or suggest a fix? I'm rooted and s-off'd but running stock ROM.

By any chance. Do you use sms backup and restore? I know that when I use it, that specific app forces me to set the restore app as my default sms app and I don't get any text notifications.

I used it originally to transfer texts over but I use SMS Backup+ daily to auto back to my Gmail account.
I get notifications but if I receive texts after I text someone without hitting the home button, I don't receive a notification.

Hey all, I am having a problem with my Nexus 5. I seem to not get notified of a text message until I open hangouts and tap on a recent text from anyone, then multiple texts come in. What seems to be the problem? Thanks in advance. I have looked through multiple threads and have not seen this problem anywhere else. Seemed to start after I updated to 5.0 Lollipop also.
I've been having that problem ever since Google Voice integration was added to Hangouts. Texts just seem flat out unreliable at times. Other times they seem to come in just fine. It's hit or miss for me. I'm still on 4.4.4 though. I always just chalked it up to Google not having it quite up to par yet. Hopefully it'll improve over time.

It's really driving me nuts. People are asking me if I got their text and I'm like, "no, wait a second, there it is". Sucks
i didn't have any Hangouts problems on KK or L...but i've now installed Google Messenger and it's nice than Hangouts anyway...try that, and test it by sending a text to yourself and pressing the home button to see if the notification works

Yah, I already tried that. Thanks though. I get facebook notifications and emails, etc., just not sms messages. I even tried changing my APN in hangouts, disabled hangouts and made the new messenger my default sms and nothing.
