Thanks for the info. It looks like an issue with ICS on ION. Maybe the update will fix it.
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app

Confirmed on stock official at&t ROM. If a video call is ended before the other person answers phone stops responding and has to be powered down. My Nexus 7 does not appear to have the same issue though so let's hope the update comes soon.

I hate this new app. It's sluggish, resource hungry and overall adds nothing to good old Gtalk.

I have rolled out the update and will never install it again.

Aye, me too. But I'm afraid soon Google will force us to migrate to it...just like "Google Settings" appeared in the app drawer without asking for it, Hangouts is gonna replace Talk. :-/

Hangouts has already replaced talk, and I personally think it's loads better, if only more people used it I would definitely consider it a possible whatsapp replacement.
I don't have any issues with the app as some of you have experienced. (xperia s with jb .197)
The real question is, what will happen to g+ messenger? As we now have 2 messaging apps from Google.

It has replaced it, yeah, but you can still use the old Gtalk if you want.
G+ messenger will be gone with the new G+ update.

I used google talk a lot for work, so was kind of worried about this change overall...as i don't use G+ for anything (nor fb for that matter), but also liked how google talk on my phone, and gmail's browser conversation thing sync'd easily...
as far as the android hangouts app, whatever...it works, didn't really care what it looked like...but i will say the chrome extension for hangouts is much better than how gmail integrated. I can now have any number of my work/home machines connected to hangouts without having gmail opened. Not sure if this is how G+ worked before, as I wasn't going to bother using that.
I'm still learning it...but also prefer how hangouts doesn't seem to be archived into gmail automatically...you can set it up to do that, but it doesn't just default to dumping a pointless 3 line conversation into 'all mail'...I know you were able to change all that with google talk, just didn't feel like messing with it.
So whatever in my case...its definitely not worse for me. The bigger problem still is, and always will be, the trends of what people use. I still get numerous fb messages a week despite it being obvious that i'm never on there...then border line threats for ignoring someone haha.

Best Messaging App.

Just wanted to share the best messaging app to date.
App
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra
Emoji Plug-in
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra.emoji
Its in the Play Store why you so hype?
Well I've spent countless hours trying to get a good sms app. I've tried them all Go SMS, Chomp SMS (Same Developers BTW), Handcent, AOSP Messaging, Etc... and they tend to get laggy at some point or lack group messaging or both. In other words i'm just trying to share my happiness.
You Welcome.

I would say facebook messenger would definitely be 2nd best in my opinion. I dont like the loading time on it besides that it is filled with features. Textra is just so quick and it just works. By the way anyone who likes the facebook messenger notification bubbles should look into Ninja SMS. Textra and Ninja SMS work great together.

Seems great. Am i just missing something though? The description in the play store says it is semi customizable. I don't see any customization options besides the color of the default icon when a message is received.
Edit: re read the description and everything makes sense now. I thought they had theme options and stuff. Oh well! I'm definitely keeping this app and waiting for their next update. Thanks

Just tried this, haven't found anything as good as Sliding Messaging yet though. It's got three different layouts and the emoji are so much better.

Just tried it and it missing a lot that handcent has. Customize options. Also does not have any themes to it. I think in a few months after a lot of feedback it might be good

We chat is cool with the audio messaging

I like the fact that it has emoji integration but the app itself looks hideous. It's attempt at trying to be holo looks like a crossbreed between sense and gingerbread. Nonetheless it works fine.

Differences between Textra and Chomp?

Textra seems like a simplified version of Chomp. With the swipe to return to conversation list. You can't change the colors of the chats.

Wouldn't it auto update anyway? Why you hate hangouts? Its pretty much everything talk was plus tons more...
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app

I was able to find the Talk Apk. Auto-update is easily preventable by setting it not to do so.
Talk is far, far more visually appealing and navigable. When chatting with someone, I find it impossible to side swipe to the user list screen for some reason. Hangouts is just another example of trying to "fix" something that wasn't broken. What is the "tons" more you refer to? It still hasn't merged SMS, which would actually have been useful.
I bet you like the new Maps too and the loss of layer functionality?

Perhaps to you. I do like the new maps it seems to lock quicker. No need for the attitude... I find the navigation much easier with the swiping and I love the look of the application. Its far easier to add people from your contacts as well as the different levels of navigation within the application. Love how easy it is overall versus talk. The new maps application lost a feature I don't use... Not saying its alright for all but your attitude sucks...

Could anyone using this tell me what version of Talk this is? Also the best way to remove Hangouts would be to delete it via TiBu?

You can remove this by TB. Will work fine.
But as @cstrife999 mentioned, I also just remove apk from system/app/ folder.

Titanium backup says it's version 4.2.2-612687 (330)

just uninstall hangouts, and it should revert to talk. that's been my experience.
hangouts sucks. i still can't easily see who's online and who isn't, that's a huge PITA.

With the new update you should be able to see who is online. I know I can.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app

I just checked and I still think they need to improve on that. I'd like it if they showed the online status in the opened hangouts window instead of just the new hangouts window.
If they did that then it's worth switching to, but as it stands, talk is still superior in online chat in my opinion.

Yep, that's what I did on my N7 (2013). However, I backed it up first just in case and THEN delete it.
One thing I hate about Hangout is that BY DEFAULT, ALL conversation are recorded. I can disable this, but only per conversation instead of the default option. So I have to disable this for EVERY single chat windows, both old and new ones.

Hangouts irritated the hell out of me as well. After using Talk for a couple of years, the update to Hangouts drove me straight to WhatsApp.

Does talk work on 4.4?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Hangout is a bit quirky, as I've yet to figure out how to send an SMS directly through the app, but it's much more feature packed than Talk I think.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I basically have to go into my Contacts and just choose to send a message. There's got to be a way to do it through Hangout itself though, right?

[Q] Best email app for G3?

Whats your best?

Blue Mail

Just started using Cloudmagic, very impressive!

That's funny.
I was just searching for something to replace yahoo mail, which I've been using for a while but is always buggy.
Last night I was messing around in the play store and came up with blue mail.
It couldn't be easier to set up and so far seems like a good alternative.
I'll give it a day or two and see if I still like it.
