I have noticed google's messenger app does not convert addresses to hyperlinks that open in google maps anymore
Anyone know a fix without having to copy and paste into google maps?

If you use google now on that page can you then use the link? I would think so.

i dont understand your answer? i can always copy and paste the address, but this is taking two steps to do something that should be implemented in the app
while it is 'extra' work, press and hold the home button to enable assistant, then scroll down, there should be a link or maps button to do what you want.
That's what I meant earlier. And yes, it is more steps than clicking link.
I was just trying to give an alternative that may be less work than copy/paste.

Log into google voice from your gmail(assuming that what you used) account.... Or you can always type in "how to retrieve google voice info" in Google

This should help
1. Log into your gmail account from the "Google" main page.
2. Click on "More" at the top of the page.
3.Scroll down to and click "Even More"
4. Scroll down the page to the section labeled "Home & Office".
5. Click on "Voice".
6 Toward the top right-hand side you will see a gear shaped item; click it
7. Scroll down to and click "Settings"
On this page you will see the google number as well as any forwarding number associated with your gmail account.
"Thank me" if I helped
Peace
Holding the menu key down does bring up the Google search, but going through the settings I don't see anything for Google Now. I don't have Google +. Is this needed? I added a valid gmail accound as well to my phone.
Figured it out. I needed to make the gmail account the primary account. I tried to delete the thread but perhaps it will be helpful to someone else.
I see it in the notification pulldown, but not in the top bar. Wonder if there's a setting for that.

In the google (now) app, there's a Privacy and accounts option in the settings when you hit menu. Click on that and click google account to choose which one to use. It'd be nice if we could use a non gmail account with Google Now. My university (utexas) partners with gmail, so it technically is gmail but without some of the perks like google now.

I you use chrome and search for a landmark, after you find it, say a specific McDonald's, next time you open google now it will present you with navigation to that McDonalds.
Google now is amazing. I arrived at BWI on Sunday and when I turned my phone on, it had directions to the hotel up, restaurants listed near the hotel, and the local weather. It does sometjing similar at home too. Probably one of the nicest upgrades thats functional.

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...

Thanks for this. I'm not a fan of the new version.
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?
I have 3 emails i need that are not Gmail...But 1 of the email accounts i don't want the emails from but just the calendar. What's the best app for these?

I like the Nine app & use it for a second account but not my Google account. Anyway, it has an option in settings to choose the default calendar and another to disable notifications. Have you tried those options?
The blue mail app or type mail app. They both have a 4.7 rating. How many other apps have a 4.7 rating answer is not many.

According to this article you can turn on bubble notifcations (and force black [emoji16]) in Dev options.
Anyone get this to work running the latest Google messaging beta?

Interesting. Not working for me but based on your screenshot I am testing the smart pop up view settings. Odd that you would have to switch both the dev option and the smart view. I am guessing one is Google and one is Samsung.

Not sure, but your thought makes sense. I'd never seen the one in the Dev settings until you mentioned it. In any event, to enable the pop-up to be used for Google Messages, you have to scroll way down into the app list to find Messages to enable it. You'd think it would be in the smaller first group of "suggested" apps all of which seem to be for messaging, but that is not the case.

You don't have to switch both (and messages is way down in the second list, it should work for you, maybe you enabled the wrong one.)
