Anyway to make Google search/now use WhatsApp to message - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Is there anyway to make Google search/now Send a WhatsApp message instead of a text message by using your voice for example when I say 'send message to David message how are you' can that be routed to WhatsApp instead of sms?
WhatsApp has replaced 90% of my messaging. So this would be more convenient.

[Q] Delayed SMS Messages on my DHD

Hi,
Recently I've been receiving delayed messages on my DHD.
Sometimes I only receive messages when clicking on the SMS Messages Icon.
I'm sure I have all messages notifications enabled because sometimes I do receive messages via the top bar notifications area.
Does anyone know whats happening with it?
Thanks,
OGEZZY
SMS on Android is dodgy in every way, could be anything really.

Are you using the latest 1.72 build? This one has an SMS notification bug (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887098). Try a third party SMS app such as Handcent.
Thanks mate I've tried SMS GO and I love it! So far no delayed msgd!

Google Voice problems

Am I alone on this? Since yesterday I was receiving all my text to the messaging app instead of google voice, I checked the setting I still was on GV all texts and just now a message from GV pop up saying how to make the calls, and the only option given was Do not make calls from GV. Now I tried to send a text from GV and it doesn't give me the bottom rectangle to type.
Anyone?

i use gv to text all day long at work, and haven't had any issues with it lately. so it's gotta be a setting on your account that's causing issues. have you logged into the website and checked your settings there? sometimes the app doesn't always make the changes.
Thanks for the reply, I had to basically install it again and its working just fine now.

[Q] is there a way to get hangout on lockscreen like text?

Is there any way to get Google hangouts to pop up on the lockscreen when you get a text the same way the stock text message works? Like the circle with the message icon and number.

No one knows a mod?

I would also like to see this. Just updated to 4.3 on Verizon S3 and it doesn't work with Hangouts. The driving mode also doesn't read the text since it's in Hangouts.
Hangouts just began to be integrated with SMS... give it some time to make it the go-to feature for texting, etc. Until then, you have a bunch of apps that integrates fully into the original Messaging app like Halo, Popup Notifier, Textra, Handcent, and even Facebook Messenger. I'm sure Hangouts will reach this point but until then, try other apps.
Facebook messenger no longer does SMS AFAIK. That was taken out. Hangouts is cool, especially for group messaging, but I personally couldn't stand it being white. Luckily dark horse makes inverted apps.
One of my main gripes with hangouts as well as most other SMS apps is when your phone doesn't have service or in airplane mode...when you restore service the text messages you receive aren't timestamped properly. It stamps them like you just received them...and not when they actually were sent.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Install a 3rd party application to manage notifications and make sure you can enable notifications on the lock screen.
