I've been using Textra for SMS for a few days now with my new HTC One M8, and have been quite pleased. But some time this afternoon I noticed that when I try to use the voice to text function within Textra, which had been working just fine, my phone makes the sound as if the function is starting, and I think the screen appears for a split second, but is then replaced by the Textra messaging screen, and there is no way to record my voice. The function still works in other apps where it worked before. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Textra, without any luck. Then I looked at the update history and saw that Textra pushed out an update today, so I’m wondering if this update could have broken this functionality on the HTC One M8.
Anyone else with this phone using Textra and experiencing the same thing?
I have already written to Textra support.

I received a response from Textra support. Turns out they --did-- break it. Here's what they wrote:

Just issued an update for that in Google Play, should appear in the next hour or so. Apologies.

Sorry if this has been talked about, I did a google and forum search but nothing was popping up. I just upgraded to Lollipop on the VZW M8 running the latest Renovate Nightlies, and it seems the swiftkey 'swype' feature doesn't work on my chomp sms incoming test pop up. I have to type manually. If I open the message I can swype, but not on the quick pop up. Is there any fix for this? I'm really starting to like lollipop less and less.

I just started noticing this on my G3 yesterday as well using Textra vice Chomp but it is affecting all programs. It was working earlier today so it isn't a total loss of capability. Don't know what's causing it. I forced stopped SwiftKey and restarted it to no effect.
I've been using Swiftkey since the day I got my m8 well over 6 months ago. Lately I've been having strange keyboard problems. It has only been since Android 5.0 hit the phone, and oddly enough my wife's m8 isn't having the problem. Probably once a day, I'll open hangouts to send a text or chrome for a webpage (or any app where I would need the keyboard) and the keyboard won't pop up. The only fix I've found is to restart the phone. The only real difference between our 2 phones is that she uses factory messaging and t-mo visual voicemail and I use hangouts for texts and voice through hangouts for voicemail. Anybody else seen anything like this?
In Viber text message typing, the google voice keyboard does not work for me. Sometimes it pops open and then closes immediately. Sometimes it's open, but does allow activation of the microphone. If I remember correctly, This also occurred before I installed the Android 6 ota last week.
Any one else having this?
Viber support has suggested uninstalling + re-installing, but that will lose the message history.
Thx
Could anyone with (latest) Viber app test this? Thanks!
Hi there! Yes, I've had this problem for a couple of months, too! It's maddening! I actually wind up dictating into the "notes" app, then copying and pasting from there into Viber!
When I contacted Viber support, they responded very quickly but asked me to send them a video of the problem. I never did that since I didn't know how to capture screen video on my phone. So, they just closed the support ticket.
Thanks for your response!
You do have the M9, right?
That must mean you've had the problem both with lollipop and (if you updated) marshmallow?
I have had my M9 for only 2 months now, and in my mind, I noticed it fairly early on, though as I don't always use Voice typing I'm not sure when I noticed it. I find that Voice typing works much better on this device then on my previous one - an HTC One X+
If you mention your ticket number, I can mention it in mine.
Anyone else can report their experience (working, non-working). Even on an M8 maybe?
I've additionally noticed that the feature d or "hold and talk" (*) in viber messaging does not work. it records silence
This lets you send short audio messages instead of written text
Does anyone have Viber working on the m9 and working correctly?
I have been having this issue since yesterday morning where as the title describes that hangouts is taking priority over messages. I literally will not receive messages unless hangouts is selected as the default app. I was thinking that this may have been started once I got a bunch of updates through the play store. However, I uninstalled updates and disabled Hangouts attempting to force the problem to stop. This to no avail.
So is anyone else running into issues such as this. Or, does anyone have any advice as to how I could remedy this issue. I know it is quite silly, but I love being able to use GIFs while texting people and hangouts doesn't support googles GIF keyboard for some reason.

This is a tough one. I've been there before but it was a while ago and I found the answer I believe on G+ but let's see if we can get you back on track here. Under settings->apps-hangouts what shows under SMS app? Click it and make sure at the bottom that sms app is showing Messages. Also in the Hangouts app itself go to settings and make sure SMS is disabled. Let's start there.

So yeah I have already done that. Messages will send the message, but the received message will come in through Hangouts. I am going to do a factory reset when I get home (the wifi at my office is terrible). I will see if that makes any difference. I hate to have to resort to that, but I wasn't having this issue prior to the most recent updates.
So I figured out the problem. I am on Project Fi. Within hangouts there is a setting in accounts that takes all calls and SMS through hangouts. Turned that off and now I am good.
Hi all. Quick question. Using Textra as default app. For some reason when I look at messages on my watch it only shows one side of the conversation. It will show my response but not the other person text. I have also tried it with other apps like pulse. Same issue.
hello, same thing for me and textra. and my responses are send twice.
Thanks.
Galaxy Watch messaging works fully only with native Samsung messaging apps: sms and e-mail
With other apps like Textra only notifications are sent to watch
I passed the samsung messaging by default, then go back to textra and I now have the two people. surely a coincidence but it works. in any case, whether it is one or the other application, it only displays two weeks of messages.
