Emoji never show up in messaging/Hangouts

Here's the issue- so I'm on KitKat (PACMan specifically), and I can type the emoji just fine- they show up for me when I send SMS. If I send a text with emoji to a friend on iOS, they show up for them; if I use them on Twitter, it shows up there too (and I can see the other people's just fine). However, whenever I text someone else on Android, they just see them as the diamonds with question marks; it goes in reverse too: if I get a text with emoji (from Android or iOS), they show as diamonds. What could be the issue here? This happens in both Hangouts and the stock app.

Figured it out- I was using the Google Voice integration, so the texts go through there, and GV doesn't support those emojis. The main person I text (who's also on KitKat) also used the GV Sprint integration. I disabled it, and everything displays fine now.

Thanks

That was driving me crazy for the past couple days. I didn't realize it happened right after I enabled Google Voice. Thanks for the update.

Need S5 Dialer and Contacts apk or Stock Kit Kat Dialer and Contacts apk!

Is there any S5 Dialer and Contacts flashable zip that is compatible with our Note 3 yet? I flashed one that was made for the S4 and now my contacts apk crashes when I tap on a name and my calls crash when I dial a number. Hopefully someone can make it compatible with our Note 3.
Or if you have a flashable Stock Dialer and Contacts zip for the Kit Kat Note 3, I would be really grateful as I can't view contacts or call anyone.

Moto G 2015- Email Address Added As Contacts

Hi, some inconvenients with lollipop
Hello, i was a jellybean user for 2 years, i recently got a moto g 2015 lollipop and have some issues, related to the lollipop so i assume this is the right place even if it is for motog 2014.
theres 3 issues i can't figure out,
1) I have to add a goggle account to the android for it to work with everything right? i mean, the PlayStore app and ****.
For that, i have always used a hotmail address ive had for years which is linked to youtube, facebook etc..
But this lollipop, decided to add a single contact entry for each and all of the emails ive emailed with that account.
Its effin annoying. So i deleted all the contacts I didn't want there, and went to settings-accounts and disabled its SYNC
on that hotmail address. I did that yesterday, and today all the email address contacts were added again today. Wtf
I don't want to create a new clean email account just for the android because I do want my youtube subscriptions alerts.
So what to do?
2) On my previous android device, the jellybean, If i want to delete a whole bunch of contacts. I could check a box next to each of a contact, and select a whole lot, then just hit a DELETE button. In lollipop, the only way is to manually go by one by one of the contacts. select contact, select its details, hit delete. thats a 3click process for ONE contact. I mean. wtf are these guys thinking? Is there a workaround for this?
3) Last but not least. Say i got a missing call on the call registry. And i want to send a message either SMS or whatsapp to that number. In jellybean I could hit the send message button and it would ask me if I wanted to SMS or Whatsapp. AND VOILA. write the message to the number and send it.
In lollipop, theres no message button to numbers that aren't in your contact list. WTF .. I have to add that number to contacts. And then, a send text message button appears next to the name but it only works for SMS, no whatsapp. If i want to whatsapp that number, i'd need open whatsapp and search that newly added entry thru 200 contacts.
i mean seriously. what the **** are these developers thinking.
Sorry for rant. Hope someone has some solutions
Thanks in advance.

Hmmmm I completely understand all the issues and they're all kind of related to the Contacts app on STOCK Lollipop ( stock in caps because its just a truth that skinned versions of Android actually do a better job in their respective dialer and contacts apps or at least that's my experience) and what I've personally done to alleviate some of my contacts issues is to use Contacts+ from the play store. It merges all of your contacts with similar traits etc instead of having 5 different contacts for emails that should be grouped to their respective contact. It also has good organization features. I personally have it set to only show contacts with phone numbers. You can play around with the app and see if you like it. Its also a messaging app and a dialer so an all in one app but I prefer to use it as a contacts app only since I have better alternatives for the others. Check it out. Maybe it'll help and this is not a promo Lol its just that I've personally dealt with this and heard of contacts + and here we are.

google search widget doesn't display contacts

Used to be able to search contacts through the search bar. It also provided smart results by showing people that I actually call if I had multiple contacts with same first name. Looks like google turned off the feature with android 11 update. I was able to keep the functionality previously by uninstalling the updates on the "google" app. But it doesn't look like it works anymore. It's so annoying not be able to do it.
Does anyone know how to get the feature back?

Google Dialer app's contacts keep duplicating.

I bought a Moto G6 back in June of 2020 and it's working great. I currently am running stock Android 9. However there is one thing that is bugging me. The Google Dialer app's contact's keep duplicating. It doesn't happen in Google contacts though. It's exclusively in the Google Dialer app. I've updated the app to the latest version (v55.1.335513515), but the issue still persists. I don't believe this issue is related to the phone, or the OS, but I am not sure. So far, I have force stopped the Google Dialer app, and cleared both the storage and cache options; but it doesn't seem to remedy the problem. Since I cannot provide a screenshot showing the actual issue (I don't want to put any personal info of my contacts for obvious reasons) I will show an example of the issue here in text. My contact list in Google Dialer looks like...
Contact 1
Contact 2
Contact 2
Contact 2
Contact 2
Contact 3
Contact 4
Contact 4
Contact 4
Contact 4
Contact 4
Contact 4
Contact 5​If there is a solution to this problem, please let me know.
Thank you.

Hmmmm. I think this might be a sync related issue. I downloaded Simple Dialer and ran into the same exact problem with the contact list within the app.
