For whatever reason whenever a group chat is going on in Hangouts the phone slows down to a crawl.. Anyone experiencing this? Seems to only happen in Hangouts, if I use another SMS\MMS app everything works fine.

I have a problem with Hangouts app. I just don't receive messages on my phone. When I text to a person he receives my message, but it doesn't work the other way around, when he texts me back nothing happens on my phone. And I do receive messages on my computer with Chrome Hangouts extention, problem exists only on my phone. Anyone experiencing similar problems?
I am having this problem too. Very annoying.
I have the exact issue on a Galaxy S (captivate). Makes the app utterly unusable. Running CyanogenMod 10.1. Hope this gets resolved :<
Same issue on my ATT HTC One using custom rom
Having same problem OK a gsm galaxy nexus...
Same here. In my case, I receive the message if I enter the app. This is not usable! I sent yesterday night a hangout to my brother asking why is he not using hangout with me, and today morning I have seen in desktop chrome hangout that he answered: "because you are not answering"

hangouts
Uninstall and reinstall fixed it fixed it for me. This was always an issue with Google plus too. These apps don't like being restored from backup
Did you disabled Google Play Services from sending data on the background? I had the same problem, changed that and Hangouts is working again.
Very annoying that Hangout and Google Play Services are using the same configuration.
Hangouts never worked for me... I dont receive messages or calls. I dont know why I have installed it
I've noticed that every now and then when I send an SMS in Hangouts, the app doesn't refresh/scroll down and I can't see the message I just sent. To see it, I need to manually scroll down, and requires me to reboot the phone for it to work automatically again.
Anyone else experience this/know a fix?
Hi there,
I recently got the new Android messenger app after upgrading my phone to L
I prefer it to hangouts, but I can't receive MMS.
The important thing is - if I use hangouts, I can receive them without issue on hangouts. So I don't think it's my APN settings that are the issue (I'm on Straight Talk)
Is anyone else having this problem?
Tried unchecking auto retrieve MMS, but it just freezes on 'downloading' and the MMS never shows up.
Thanks for any help you can offer

Ah right - I tried doing that but it didn't work. Thanks for the suggestions though.
I think part of the issue is Messaging has no options for MMS, whereas in Hangouts you can select a different APN.
I can't see any option for this in the messaging app.
I'm having the same issue. I've got android L on the lg g3
MMS works perfectly fine for me in the Messenger app. Both sending and recieving.
I'm also on straight talk and MMS worked fine in hangouts. Since installing messenger it won't receive. Just sits hanging on the downloading screen.
I would love to start using messenger as I feel it handles SMS just slightly better, but can't do without the MMS and group texting features. Will wait for update.
No problems here either, and I'm in an edge area.
I've encountered the same problem. Tried multiple ROMs to be sure; same problem existed. Messaging lets me receive them, but not Messenger. I have to change my default SMS app every time I want to download a MMS message. Sending MMS works, strangely enough.
Same here....when I receive a MMS , the app seems to freeze , I can't send any sms during the "downloading" time
Doesn't work
I always hated Hangouts so i downloaded SMS app now i tried downloading messenger and it will not download MMS messages. I am on Straight Talk and have a Nexus 5.
Thanks
Pic shows my issue and when i hit "Tap" it said download but will not. HELP!!!!!
What I did (I found this somewhere online), go and delete all the APN settings except the one you use. Reboot and viola. MMS on AT&T Straight Talk worked for me in Google Messenger!
Sprint's mindblowingly fast 3G network has forced me time and time again to download Textra in order to send and receive MMS consistently. That's fine, it's a great app, but, to be honest, I prefer Google Messenger's Material look and feel. Here's the problem: Textra has the ability to send MMS over WiFi and it works wonders. Group MMS and pictures send almost instantly. So to regular text messages. With Google Messenger, I usually get a blank message that says "Tap to Download". That's annoying and they usually never download.
So what is it that Textra does differently? Is it a particular APN that they use or switch to when sending? If so, I'd like to identify this APN so that I can attempt to use the APN all the time and perhaps make it possible to send MMS over WiFi using any Messaging app, not just Textra.

I know it's been a while but I literally just reached the same conclusion and I'm confused too. Did you ever figure it out?

No I don't think I ever figured it out. I fiddled around with APNs and the like but it really came down to poor service from Speinr. MMS over WiFi definitely improved my experience but wasn't always practical when out and about. I switched to T-Mobile and never looked back.
I'm now with Google Fi and I notice wonky behavior sometimes when using Sprint's network like texts sending twice, etc. I really think a lot of it has to do with poor service and/or the network itself. Though, MMS over WiFi works perfectly when the phone is using Sprint's network.
Often when I send messages through hangouts whether it's an sms or a hangouts message, the message sends but the hangout doesn't refresh with my message or even the response that the other person sent back.
The only way I can get it to refresh is to back out or close the app and reopen.
Does this happen to anyone else?

I have been facing this issue too using hangouts and so has my girlfriend. I believe it is definitely an app issue that is due from a recent app update. I also feel like It could be an issue with having to many texts I got over 5k+ texts in the app and every time I have cleared the texts it usually fixes the issues. I don't want to remove my texts so if you are in the same situation I feel your pain. :c I am not 100% certain on the solution though hopefully someone can figure it out.
Definitely the new hangouts. I reverted to the old version of hangouts and the problem isn't there.
I see this on my Note 2 and my work phone which is an S6
