Hangouts custom ringtone topic

Hi there! I'm trying to figure out how to change the default ringtone of Hangouts. The app's settings are useless. I'm guessing the ringtone is embedded in the Hangouts APK somewhere. Anyone point me in the right direction on how to go about doing this? Thanks!

So I'm not sure that this is possible but just wanna make sure I'm not missing something somewhere.. Is there any way to get the card on my watch that I received a text message from Hangouts but not show the conversation or the contents of the message?

[Q] Double SMS on hangouts topic

Hi Everyone,

I have a problem with my Nexus 5, few people told me that they receive from me double SMS, but my Hangouts shows me that i send only one. I tried factory reset but it didn't help. I use now Android 5.0.1. and I use only one app for SMS, which is Hangouts. I must also pay twice for this double SMS. I heard that a lot of people have the same problem but I didn't find any solution in Internet. Any idea how to fix it?

Yours faithfully
Mateusz

[Q] Hangouts Dialer call recording topic

Hello! I recently found Boldbeast for recording calls through the normal phone dialer, but I can't find anything that will record calls placed or received through the Hangouts Dialer. Is this possible in any way?

Flip Cover Magnet Interfering with Hangouts Dialer topic

Does anyone have a problem where Hangouts Dialer would only ring for a second when receiving a call if the flip cover is covering the phone?
Another relate issue I had was saying "OK, Google" will not start the search if it is activated with the cover on (it is charging).
Thanks in advance.

Two Emoji Buttons in Hangouts? topic

Hey everybody, I have a OnePlus One running CM12, and for some reason, I have two emoji buttons in the Hangouts app. This happens with every ROM I use. I've tried Google Keyboard and the AOSP keyboard. What should I do?

[Q] Big Hangouts Issue w/ merging. topic

This is not my problem, I'm posting for someone else.

Device: Moto G XT1068
OS: 4.4.x
App: Hangouts
Rooted: No

So basically this is a less than week old phone. I contact this person via Hangouts and SMS regularly so the merged threads are great for that. The problem is that now, for whatever reason, the Hangout messages do not appear in the thread. The user still receives notifications of the Hangout messages but when tapped they take her to the thread of SMS messages only.

Have tried unmerging, remerging, clearing data/cache. No luck whatsoever.
Unmerging did allow both the Hangouts and SMS threads to be viewed independently but that's not very useful...

Have also rebooted etc...

I've looked around XDA and the web in general but no luck so far.

Anyone know what could cause this bug and how to solve it? Thanks.

Google Hangouts topic

Hello -

I installed Google services and got Hangouts working... well somewhat. What I noticed is that Hangout messages or Google Voice messages will sometimes not come thru. I will need to launch the App first then things will start coming thru... but not always. Sometimes messages come thru just fine after a restart... This is really frustrating because I cannot reliably trust that all my messages are received. Any ideas :confused:

Thanks!

[Q] Google Hangouts is unable to send MMS messages, Stock Messenger works fine topic

I am currently in Sweden, and my phone is SIM-unlocked via Sprint's unlocking utility. I am using Comviq as my service provider. Normally, I have Sprint as a provider.

To start off with, here is the application, hardware, and software versions I am using:
Android OS: 4.4.2
Build Number: KOT49H.L720VPUFNG2
Hangout Build: v2.5.81636427


APN Information from comviq's website (http://settings.tele2.com/?operator=...locale=sv_se):
Name - Comviq
APN - 4G.tele2.se
Proxy - Do not set
Port - Do not set
Username - Not set
Password - Do not set
Server - Do not set
MMSC - http://mmsc.tele2.se
MMS Proxy - 130244202030
MMS port - 8080
MCC - 240
MNC - 07
Authentication - PAP
APN type - default, MMS, SUPL

The issue I am having is actually very similar to this issue from last year:
https://productforums.google.com/d/m...c/8WG2j3EGWGkJ

I am completely unable to send MMS messages via the Google Hangouts application, but if I set my default messaging application to the stock messaging application, then my MMS messages go through perfectly fine. If I switch back to Hangouts, the MMS messages. The problem though that I am having, is that even if I specify an APN manually, this does not allow me to send the message either. If I try and edit any of the APN's already listed in Hangouts, and click the menu button and Save or Cancel, it deletes the APN rather than actually saving any data. If I add the APN, it doesn't actually save the APN to use. Hangouts has a list of APNs I guess embedded in their apk, but I can't do anything.

This seems specifically to be an issue with Google Hangouts, since other text messaging applications work perfectly fine with sending MMS messages.

Why doesn't Google Hangouts just follow the provided APN data installed in the Mobile Networks menu? Is there any way to work around this issue?
