Chat heads for FB Messenger, anyone get it to work?

So the update came out and know quite a few people talking about it. If you update Facebook and messenger you now get this option without having to use Facebook home. Anyone get it to work? If you go to settings and notifications there's suppose to be a check box for chat heads but I'm not getting one

When you bring up the person you are chatting with, long press on the conversation and then you will see the option to bring up "pop up chat head"
Forgot to mention chat heads only work on Facebook messenger.

I had to uncheck 'Hide Statusbar' in Apex for it to work correctly.

This does not work for me. I've tried long pressing everywhere. I'm assuming if I don't have the option to turn it on under notification settings that it won't work for me at all.
I'm running 2.4.2 I've restarted the app and phone several times and reinstalled too

Open messenger,, then when the window comes up on the top left hand side should say messages.make sure that your settings allow pop up heads.
You do this by going into settings on the actual messenger app, then click on notifications, , then check "chat heads"
Now go back to messages window and hold down a conversation that you already have going.
On the conversation window that comes up tick the pop up heads option.
There you go hope that helps

I have the same problem as everyone else. I read somewhere that it has to do with the actual Facebook account.
Try to sign out of your account and then sign in to a friends account on your phone and test it out.
My long press selection options

Jayv81 you are right. It is related with the account. I key my gf sign into her account on my phone and the chat head option showed up. WTH! as soon as she log out, the option is gone.

I found a modded app that works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232307
I tried this one and it works just make sure and un install all current Facebook apps. Also I'm not a fan of the Facebook home and I uninstalled it after testing the linked method. And it still works.
All credit goes to theos0o

This does it. Finally! Thx

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how to un-stack the chat heads that pop up? I can see the multiple chat heads for each thread when I drag the circle, but they're all stacked and attached to each other.

Try Logging In To Facebook Application.It Worked For Me

If you're using CyanogenMod or any custom ROM....
Find your device full specifications on google and look for its original PPI pixel density or resolution.
download an app on playstore like 'screen resolution changer' and change it to its original resolution.
Hope it works

[APP] Sprint Voicemail on AOSP

Attached is the Sprint Visual Voicemail application, just download it like normal and it should work perfect. This is for AOSP ROM's that don't come with a built-in Voicemail application. I know some people use Google Voice but this is for people who don't use Google Voice.
To get rid of the text messages alerting you of a voicemail (9016) then follow these instructions:
1. Download Mr. Number from the Play Store, Here.
2. Block "9016" from text messages.
3. No more annoying texts!
Enjoy!
Updated with Latest Sprint Visual Voicemail, as of 11/3/2013

Thanks epic. Google voice really sucks and pretty annoying when receiving a call.

Can you use the Sprint Voicemail app if you have your sprint # associated with Google Voice?

I'm recording this message and sending it through gmail? if so, I got a domain name not found. I could just be doing it all wrong.

The voicemail app puts me in gmail when I hit send or else it pops the onscreen keyboard and will not actually "send" the message.

It should just work. It just sounds odd. Did you go into apps and clear cache and data for voicemail app? Go into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik cache and fix permissions?

Trying To Understand Calling Over Wifi

I have been using Talkatone for it, but recently, I was wondering about the the native option.
I do have the TMO S3, with the wifi option enabled in my rom. I have my Google Talk and Voice both set up correctly. But when I use the phone icon to make a call, my minutes decrease. I thought by using wifi, like I do with Talkatone, I wouldn't use my contract minutes.

It uses minutes unless you select the free option on the T-Mobile website.

Depends on your plan. Prepaid will get minutes deducted. Old contract plans get free minutes. Not too sure about value plan as I have never had it.

Log in to their website. On the black bar (not the one at the very top of the window, but the next one down (bigger one), select Plans and Services > Change Services. The option is called Free Wi-Fi Calling under the Extra Minutes section.

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?

Messaging Preview

Is there any way with the Note 4 to turn on messaging preview? Right now it is coming up when I get a text message, but it just says New Message. Before with the Note 2, it would actually preview the message. Any help?

I figured it out. You can delete this please.

In Messages go to Settings -> Notifications -> Then check Lockscreen under Preview Message

Oh wow thanks!don't know how I missed that... could've sworn I checked there... maybe I just thought it was a yes or no button and skipped it

Wow thanks!

Glad you got it figured out. If you want try downloading Textra. I'm sure once you use it you will never go back. It's pretty awesome and has a couple customizing options. I just loathe the stock messaging app and figured I'd share with you.

Well like the messages... my calls are also showing just "missed call" without contact info on the lock screen.. tried searching in settings but no luck.. its probably something really obvious I skipped or just looking in the wrong section lol
