Hangouts 2.1 crashing - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anybody else having troubles with the Google Hangouts 2.1 update?
Since the update to version 2.1 I find myself unable to use the app. When I open the app after it updated from Google Play, the screen stays white, turns black, and then hangouts eventually crashes. When I roll back to version 2.0 the app works fine.
I am on system software version 757 rooted. I might add, the 2.1 update works fine on my 4.3 Xperia Z.
Does anybody else share these symptoms?

Exact same problem on my Z1 C6903 running SlimROM. White screen for a few seconds, then black screen for 10 seconds or so, then force close. 2.0 works perfectly fine for me.
For anyone else who stumbles across this thread with the same problem, version 2.0.303 of hangouts is attached to this post.

Same issue here, anyone find a fix? Nexus 5, rooted stock 4.4.3 (same problem on 4.4.2)

I found the xposed module to mod the smiley key to an enter key to be the culprit.
Since I disabled and removed said module hangouts works almost flawless.

Camera has now broken.

Just did the update, Not really wanting to post, did a quick search and found nothing, But the 2.2 OTA update appears to have broken the camera...
The default app opens and cloes, and others just sit with a black screen
That's weird. I just done my update 2 hour ago. But seems like everything works fine.
Fine with mine.
I even tested the 720p.
Try to manually reboot your phone.
I got issue with app list and fixed with reboot. Probably this one too.
Also check your SD card.
Yea I havent read anyone else having this problem so its annoying, I was planning on doing a sidew by side comparrison with the 2.2 and 2.1 versions.
Same problem here...
RESTART your Desire, it's fixed most peoples cameras.

I shouldnt have to use a gold card.
Only way I tried to make it run,was playing with the task killer and killing footprints,gallery and cam apps.
Then it runs,but that's not a solution...
I've got the same problem, just opens and then closes. Tried reboot but it didn't help.

well you're on orange, aren't you?
No goldcard = no camera
My camera isn't working either, a friend of mine with the same phone and same provider (vodafone) has got his camera working with no problems at all.
Same here, camera dead. Rebooting didn't help.
EDIT: Started task killer, killed everything (including camera, it was listed). Now it works.
A note to everyone with problems - I have done some testing and the problems seems to be some unresolved compatibility issues migrating from the old android os to the new one. Things seem to be fixed for some people by restarting however in some cases a factory reset is required. Most settings will be maintained in this however user dictionary, security and data settings may be lost. Other app based settings will also be lost, but so far it seems to be the sure fire method to resolve the problem.
Also note that the problem has been filed with HTC and we are waiting for a response.
Camera is working again, out of nowhere!
+1 - stock unbranded desire. Camera now fails, reboot doesn't help.
Task killing a bunch of apps lets you start the camera - but this does not survive a reboot.
Moving apps to the SD card in App Manager also re-enables the camera for some reason but again this does not survive a reboot.
Need a fix for this pdq!
OK - have a fix that works for me. Killed all tasks one by one and tested camera to find culprit:
LED Light Widget 1.0.9
Uninstalled this and camera working normally even after reboot.

Back button not working

Since the JSS15Q upgrade, my back button often fails to do anything. It lights up when I touch it but no action occurs. This indicates that the touch is detected by the touch screen.
I restarted in Safe Mode and the problem does not occur. This lead me to believe it is caused by an app. After restarting in normal mode, my keyboard remained Google Keyboard instead of my normal Swiftkey Tablet Keyboard. I did a short test using Google Keyboard and the back button seems to act normally. I suspect, based on this short test, that JSS15Q and Swiftkey Tablet have some sort of incompatibility. More testing is needed to confirm.
I have confirmed the conflict. Swiftkey Tablet and JSS15Q do not play well together.

I have this problem too, but i have never has swiftkey installed.
Had that issue in the beginning but after the update have it no more well at least not that often as before it rarely fail now.

Maybe it is not Swiftkey. The back button has failed without Swiftkey running but it happens rarely. Back to the hunt for the cause...

Back Button not responding
Same here.
I was playing either Tapped Out or Real Racing 3 one day (2 weeks ago) and all of the sudden the back button wont respond. The light goes on but it does not function.
My 2012 Nexus 7 does not have any swiftkey installed nor is it rooted.
I formatted the Nexus 7 and it is still doing the same thing prior to downloading all my apps from Google Play.
I've noticed the same thing on recently on my Nexus 7. Back button is "pressed", but fails to do anything.
Seems to occur in several different apps.
I don't have Swiftkey installed.
It's only started happening recently, but not at a specific enough time that I can directly correlate it with some specific change (or app I installed/updated).
UPDATE:
For what it's worth, I noticed one other symptom that seems to correlate with the Back button misbehaving.
I use ADW Launcher Ex, and use PIN security on my lock screen, no widgets. I have the Quick Launch disabled. Normally, there would be nothing showing in the soft buttons row. Just recently, the dotted circle of the Quick Launch showed back up. I mostly mention this because it seems something is messing with my Soft Buttons,
UPDATE 2:
I found a way to reproduce: I use Battery Monitor Widget Pro (excellent app, btw). I have recordings every 1 min, history file size 4MB. When I look at the History as a list, and swipe down through the long columns of numbers, often the Back Button fails to work. That's a pretty uncommon way to Reproduce the problem, but something I noticed.
I have also had the Back Button stop while just browsing through my files using Root Explorer.
I had this problem today and found a cure.....it works for me anyway...do not allow Google Keyboard to update to version 2.0.19133.927933a.
Version 2.0.19003.937116a works fine.
I purchased my Nexus 7 today and it booted with 4.3....had it rooted before I allowed the 4.4.2 system update to apply.
I always turn off automatic app updates when I get a new device....this helped me find the problem.
I then applied the system update and it was still working well. Had to re-root, of course.
I had made TWRP backups before and after the system update, so I was in good shape.
Next I started removing apps I did not want, then went on to update apps I was keeping.
Next thing you know...the back button stops working for most operations.
After it aggravated me enough, I restored the post-4.4.2 update backup and the back button worked fine.
I started working my way back to my goal-config and it kept working until my last step......updating the keyboard. Then it failed.
I removed the update and after a reboot the back button works fine. Did this twice to verify the fix.
Hope it helps others!

I have the same issue after unlocked my N7 and did some customizations, would you please upload the working version of Google Keyboard so I could give it a try?
Thanks!
I don't currently have any online account to upload it to. If there is one here at XDA I am not aware of it.
If you PM me an email address I can certainly send the APK for the working version.

Same here... even with the latest PA
Works for me in the latest build he posted for testing 20140624 i believe. That was posted outside of the OP.
Also a workaround in other build is logging in with hardware overlay disabled, in dev options. (accessed by pressing build number 7x)
after logging in, I was able to turn HW overlay back on

Alternate Dialer App?

Love the phone. I think the included dialer (phone app) can use some work. Does anyone have any recommendations on alternate dialer apps?
My favorite phone app is the Pixel Google Phone app. Does anyone have a script or directions on how to install it on a 5T?
You can try "True Phone". A very good dialer/contacts app. Manage well the dual sim.
Magisk+Google Dialer works like a charm for me. No problems whatsoever
Just to follow up my thread and logonaniket's suggestion, I used Google Dialer install zip from Oneplus 5 forum. Here is the link for others:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/themes/magisk-oneplus-5-google-dialer-contacts-t3640993
I flashed it using twrp and it works great. Sounds like logon used Magisk Module and it worked for him also.
Hi all,
my main problem with the OxygenOS Dialer is that the screen sometimes suddenly switches on, even when the phone is very close to my ear. Then I touch the screen with my ear and someting is triggered (Flash light on,...).
I installed 'Drupe' which is a bit of an overkill in my opinion., but the proximity sensor works fine there.
Did anybody try the flashable google dialer from here? https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/g-d-m-c-dpi-t3805463
Or should I use the Magisk module and anothe Google Phone version?
Any other good dialer recommendation is very welcome
Thanks

I tired that. Installed the module and disabled my contacts and Dailer but then when I was trying to call someone the Dailer screen would disappear while the call was going through. Means I could not end the call. Did you come across this by any chance?

I use it in the same way. Magisk plus disable the bulit in versions. It's works like a charm since around a month. Tomorrow the dailer crashed when on the call but when the call ended (from the other side) the app works fine again. Never faced any issues like that

I had the same issue when I switched to the Google Dialer. I found that I needed to make the Google Dialer the default phone app before disabling the system dialer... for some reason OmniRom didn't know what to do... phone would ring, but I got no screen to pick up.
The flashable zip i mentioned 4-5 posts ago seems to works fine for me on OxygenOs
Try ExDialer app. I'm using it for many years, on different phones. No mistakes with it!
Google Dialer, no root required.

I second that. I have been using True Phone for a couple years, works great.
