hey guys/gals
I have a patriotically weird bug that i want to share and see if anyone else can replicate it. I have not been able to reproduce the bug on other devices i have just the M8
I first noticed it when i copied a url from within reddit is fun
(http://imgur.com/8OLeFQM)
thats the link, if i directly share it to a hangout chat there is no issue, however if i copy the url then open hangout to share it once i click on the text field hangout crashes.
Now to see if it was the reddit app i texted that link, rebooted phone, copied the link from txt and the issue returns as soon as i open a hangout chat.
now i have copied and pasted many other links, some do cause hangout to crash some dont, its a VERY odd issue. the only way to get hangout working again is to reboot phone, (force stoping hangout or keyboard does not work)
here is a video of the issue.

about screen for build info
I've actually had the same issue for a while now on Hangouts. Except, sometimes it will crash even if I'm just trying to reply without pasting a link. Uninstalling updates helps but then you end up with an ugly looking Hangouts app... Gotta do what you've gotta do I guess

Hi guys. Sorry if my English is not good. I would like to recommend an app I came across.
Basically it's an app that can allow you send SMS to any contact on your Android phone's Google Contacts via your Chrome browser. There's even an extension for chrome to do that.
Meanwhile, that's not the only thing it can do. You can receive SMS via Google Talk and reply the SMS to the last person who sent you the message. The app requires Android 2.2 and above as it makes use of Google's C2DM.
I'm sorry, I do not have enough posts to attach links here. But do search for (Push Contacts) on the Android Market and give it a try. It's only 81kB in size!
For your reference, the developer's name is Ngo Minh Nam.
enjoy!
That is pretty slick. Only problem is that it doesn't find my son's contact info after importing my contacts. Nor does it find it when I use the extension to add him as a contact. Once they get kinks like that worked out though, it will be pretty cool. I like having the SMS conversation show up both on my phone and on my computer. Would make it real convenient to start a conversation in one place and finish it in the other. And my son, who I was testing this with, could not tell that I was switching from the phone to the PC and back to the phone. It was all coming from "me" from what he could tell.
it worked for a few days a while ago, then it stopped working, decided to give it another try; the website is now working, but the gtalk account is messed up: I'm getting "oops. something went wrong." when I type something , and I don't get a message on gtalk when I get a new sms please help me/fix the issue
I received a text/picture via hangouts which I opened to expand. Then someone else sent three pictures in the same conversation converting the message to mms however when I click on any of the second set of pictures it opens briefly and then the first message picture takes over. The only solution I found was to delete the original picture so that I can open any other picture. Is anyone else seeing that issue?
YES! I have the same problem! I do not want to delete the first picture. Hangout is broken for MMS! Yet after the last update.
How many people still use hangouts? A lot of the free sms/mms apps do everything better and more efficiently
yea is a mms bug. annoying one at that. i side loaded the original 4.3 sms just so i can view and save MMS slideshows. Google is apparently working on it. fastest send/receiving mms app i ever used tho.

What app do you recommend? I've been reluctant to try anything else because as much as this bug annoys me, hangouts does a pretty good job at what I need it to do.
I use Hello. Beautifully minimal but not for everyone.

I like minimal. So far looks good :good:
Anyone having issues with this? The verizon messaging app works great. except for the fact that if I want to share something I can't load up a current group chat like I can in Hangouts. and the app randomly shows a notification count on the lock screen that isn't accurate...
I didn't have these issues on my M7... I don't like the stock messaging app because its horrible with group MMS along with the fact that I haven't found another messaging app like Hangouts that lets you choose a current conversation when you click "share" on a picture or something. All the others make you type in the recipients, and going back to typing in 3-4 people every time I want to send something to the group isn't really a thing I want to do again....
I've read APN changes may help but I haven't been able to get any to actually stick around on the M8. open to ideas... kind of frustrating.

I think they're going to have to update the app for MMS to work properly. The same thing happened with the M7 when Hangouts originally launched.
Do people use Google Messages. The issue I have is with group text if I get too many it gets stuck at downloading and have to reboot to continue with the conversation. Very annoying. Does anybody else have this issue?
I am using Samsung Messages now the stock one seems I can't upload gifs into the conversation with gboard and don't see an option to add gifs in the samsung keyboard. Am I missing something I can see gifs from others but can't put any in from the keyboard. Is this feature not working?
thanks.
I use it. I haven't gone past 5-8 in the group. No issues so far.
I asked this a while back and when I google I see it's a common thing so figured I should ask and see if anyone figured out how to fix how fb messenger doesn't save texts.
