I have a samsung s6 edge from tmobile and I have a few group chats. In all of them i receive texts from people within the group in the group chat but when i send something it sends it to everyone individually. Is there a fix to this? Thanks to anyone that can help.
Same here. A fix would be appreciated

Hi
I did try to Google but couldn't find the answer....
Is it possible to choose the default messenger per Contact (not global default messger App?)
For example, for some of my contacts I would like to use WhatsApp, and for others SMSPro.
When I chose to send a message to the respective contact (from the address book), the appropriate app should be launched.
Any help would be most appreciated. This has been nagging me for sometime.
Thanks in advance

Firstly, thanks for replying to my query. Now for the reason....
For my contacts who are availabe on WhatsApp I would like to use it, for the rest I would like to use normal messaging app.
(Others may even want to extend it to other similar apps too.)
I'm not 100% sure, but i don't think you can. Unless you just don't choose a default message app. Then everyone you wanted to send a text message, a box will pop up asking which app you want to use. I think.

Thanx, this is what I do right now but is quite annoying. I guess I will use the WhatApp app directly for the few contacts that use this specifically.
Would be a great option to have.
I could think a similar aspect for the dialer app too. Use Google Voice, default dialer, ....
I know this should go in apps/themes but will probably get most visibility here, plus this thread will die quick enough anyways. Mods, move it if you want, not that you need my permission.

PLAY STORE LINK :highfive:
Hangouts replaces Talk.
Also, the Search (Now), Maps, & Music updates are avaiable.
The Chrome version is there and pops up a window overlay
Anyone know if SMS is part of it? Seems silly for it not to be, but doesn't look like it's part of it. So not actually unified messaging yet.
Hangouts for android is live!

No carrier sms, more like Google voice messages with picture capabilities.

Just installed it, and people's numbers are listed. What happens if I send a message to one? Bearing in mind that Google Voice doesn't yet exist in the UK!
Really does seem like an huge gap. They talked about getting technology out of the way so you can get on with communication, but I still have two apps to send messages and pictures to other people!
deleted, repeat message

It verified my # first?. But didnt migrate my sms list and the hangout message I sent didnt show in sms. I agree it would be cool if that was a feature, maybe in the future.
Didnt want to make a new thread for this but since we are talking about apps and stuff announced at Google I/O. New updates for Google Play music and Google search are in the play store. Google Play Music looks COMPLETELY different.
It tried to verify my number, but I think that's a WhatsApp style link for others to find you.
However, my SIM reports my number as something else entirely because I ported a number over. So it couldn't verify me. Trying to talk to my network now, they're not answering...

I like the improvements too! I figured as much of a hot topic as Hangouts has been I might as well post the thread just in case someone forgot what today is lol. Like I said in the OP, I'm expecting it to die quickly - just a friendly PSA. But you are correct, probably didn't warrant a new thread but I've seen worse.

Mine said it was going to send a sms, but I never received one, instead I received a notification that my # was verified.
Yeah, but the number my SIM reports is not my phone number, and Hangouts picked up the number from the SIM! Trying to get the network to reset it...
When I open up the play store link, it says installed but when I open it, Google Talk opens up...any ideas?

This is transitioning Talk into Hangouts so it may take a little time for everything to line up. At first I was being directed to "Hangouts (replaces Talk)" that just said "open" on my device, and it looked like Talk. But then, after a dozen impatient refreshes, "open" changed to "update". Now Talk is labeled Hangout and has the new UI, but the icon is still Talk. Messages I am sending in Hangout on my phone are appearing in Talk in gmail on my comp right now.

In my phone I have the Hangout installed now, even started a group conversation, but still getting the old Talk interface in chrome, hence not seeing group messages, and not getting either the new emoticons, nor the new interface, nor the smileys, even when I click the new Hangout button in the toolbar. Maybe it will be implemented after some time in the future

If you are using a ROM where Talk is one of the system apps, you may need to uninstall it. I used Titanium Backup to uninstall it and then downloaded Hangouts from the Play Store.

If I'm understanding you right, you're trying to access Hangouts via the Gmail web interface. The Chrome Hangouts plugin does NOT replace the Talk box in Gmail. It adds an extra app, which is accessed by clicking the Hangouts icon on your Chrome toolbar.
The Gmail web interface will be rolled out later and will be upgraded from within Gmail itself.
Sideload mirrors as attached. (hangouts apk was too large for xda. reuploading...)

What are you using for FACETIME on your Note 3?
Did searches and not finding many good results such as Google Hangout. Many user say Google Hangout very poor and not a good substitute.
Any suggestions?

There is no Facetime client for Android, so your question is pretty much moot.
If you mean video chat, Google Hangouts works great for me.
I use Skype also.

Thanks for your response. Yes, I mean video chat. With Skype the receiver must use Skype, too. If not, there is a charge (?) for using Skype without receiver using Skype.
Tried Google Hangouts and immediately I get unsolicited messages from people I don't know?
I always leave my chat clients offline. I only turn them on if I know I'm going to video chat with someone.
Skype is free for both parties if you both use the client and have Skype accounts.
Unfortunately there's no way to block unsolicited requests in Hangouts. I just add unknown people to my block list if they try and message me while I am online.

Is there an option to identify FAVORITES rather than FRIENDS? With FRIENDS you see all of your contacts.
Great apk so far. Thanks again!!

I'm definitely not saying that Hangouts is perfect or anything, but I've never got any unsolicited messages so you might want to check your privacy settings.

for video chat Hangouts is perfect, the reason you are getting unsolicited chats is because your gmail address was leaked to bots from craigslist, dirty sites etc and you accepted them into your friends. delete them and you'll be fine.

Thanks for your response. Never share my gmail address and never been on craiglist or dirty sites. When you say delete them, what are you referring too? All my gmail address are valid and clean. Don't have any addresses in my gmail that I do not know.

When you log into gmail, the solicitation contacts should show up on your chat list on the bottom left, you can block them from there.

When I go there to Chat List there is nothing in there? So, I have not solicitation contacts. Any other suggestions?
Thanks again for trying to help.
In that case, from your phone Hangouts, go to the unwanted person's message - then hit the menu button and click People & Options > Block XXXX XXXXX person
if you continue to get new messages from random strangers all the time then maybe it might be time to consider getting another gmail account and giving this one only to friends / family members
Thanks for all the help and suggestions. I think I will stay with Tango for now as it is working fine for me. The only shortcomings are:
1. I cannot find a place/menu/settings to disable INVITE?
2. Is there an option to identify FAVORITES rather than FRIENDS? With FRIENDS you see all of your contacts.

Is anyone else having an issue with the quick reply? When I receive a group text and I reply via quick reply it goes to that persons thread and not the group [emoji17]
So I guess I'm the only person with this issue? ? it stinks because I like the default message app now that quick reply is available

I don't use stock message app. So I could not tell you if it happens to me.
I use 8sms. It has worked flawlessly for me for groups and any texting. It also supports group texting and a bunch of other cool features.

My stock messaging app works fine when I create or reply to group texts.
Thanks everyone. I'll try clearing the cache to see if that helps
I had been using samsung handsets upto note 8 but this time on new s9 in which there is a problem in text message forwarding as only two options are available on long pressing it as either "delete" or "details" ...
plz any solution to it....
has to be an issue with yours. Mine, long pressing gives me the following options, Delete, Copy Text, Forward, Share, Star Message, Send to Reminder, Copy to SIM Card, and View Message Details.
Yeah..me having same issue
If message is from banking or other commercial site..it has no option of copying. E.g. messages from AD-HDFC etc.
Messages from regular number has all options
This is annoying
How to get over this
SAMSUNG is screwing things .
yeah group messages don’t have all options and it is very irritating.....

I downloaded from apk mirror. I'm rooted so I updated myself.
When I try to forward a message to additional members in a group the phone doesn't allow me to choose from the group. What gives? It only shows contacts and not the group option. I have a group with 60 people.
