SMS not working in Hangouts on Moto X? - Moto X Q&A

I don't have an option to use SMS in Hangouts on my Moto X. Though the play store indicates I am on the latest version of hangouts because it does not give me the option to update, in fact my hangouts app indicates I am on version 1.2 instead of 2.0+.
Anybody have any ideas? Anybody else using SMS in hangouts on a Moto X?

I don't think the 2.0 version has hit the Play Store yet. You have to be on 2.0+ for the SMS integration.

So is the description in the play store simply wrong? It gives the change log for 2.0 which suggests to me 2.0 should be available. See screen shot below, taken just now with my stock T-Mobile Moto X.

Chances are they are doing a staged rollout. But if you don't have 2.0 on your phone, you won't have those features.

Anybody here with an X who CAN do SMS with hangouts?

I received 2.0 a few days ago. When you first launch it, it will ask if you want to import your SMS messages. After that it works fine for SMS, MMS, and Hangouts. It's a little confusing at first but you'll get used to it. If you have a hangouts conversation and an SMS conversation going on with the same person, they will appear as two separate threads. However, you can switch between them using the account selector at the top of either thread.

Yea the market description is wrong. Just look in themes and apps for the update version that allows SMS. For it to work on version you need version 2.0.122

I tried installing the Nexus 5 Hangouts APK and it didn't worked, threw an error each time I tried to send an SMS. After today's update from Play Store it's working fine.

Looking for apks

Hey fellas, I'm looking for the apks for Visual Voicemail, My Verizon, and VZW Tones. They aren't showing up in the market, I'm using Aloysius. Thanks

If you have not tried the market fix yet try it. Go to the market and look for eris market fix, it make take some time after you do it but it should start working. Then you can have all your apps back, if this does not work for you send me a pm and i will get them for you.
this will help you find if you have full market or not, To test: search for 'us bank' in the market, if only 2 apps show up, your not getting the full market.
Like I said in the PM, I am able to look up all the apps I have looked for except the Verizon ones. Thanks
Aloysius is a Hero based ROM and should be reporting you as a Sprint user to the Market. You can't find those apps because Verizon doesn't offer them to non-Verizon customers.
That said; jcase's Market Fix should cause you to be reported as a MotoDroid, a Verizon phone, which should allow you to get those apps.
Marisa, I figured that to be the problem
Eris market fix isnt working for me though

I had created updates for two of these apps. They're flashable through Recovery;
Verizon Visual Voicemail
My Verizon
I made them for ZenEXP-Eris users who couldn't see Verizon apps. However, I've fixed the market since then and now they can see the Verizon tab and all Verizon apps.
Anyone who needs these two apps installed is more than welcome to download them above.

It does work perfectly but it's odd that it's filtered out of the Market. You still have to side load it.

This doesn't surprise me, since the issue with Google Voice was the same issue as the Facebook Widget and that works too.
It seems Google relaxed the API a bit with regards to null intents

you can also get apps directly on your xoom by downloading from amazon app store. there's a ton of apps that work fine but missing from the market. and you don't have to go through putting the app on your phone then moving to your xoom, and you will get updates.
Yeah, found this out last week. Unfortunately, push notifications are STILL not enabled (you still have to select a polling interval).

I figured 15mins was the best compromise.
One thing I did was change my Voice Notification E-mail from my default account to my GMail account, which means I at least get instantaneous notifications, but even still that's a hack.
FFS Google- you can't make this whole?!
Confirmed. It works perfectly. Thanks for the heads up.

Umm' stupid question I'm sure but here goes...
If I install the voice from your dropbox does it replace the Google voice on the xoom? As in no more video calls, or does this just add capability to use the calling features? I'm so confused..

[Q] Dialer in 4.4

Hello,
I just switched from a Nexus 4 to the Moto X (on T-Mobile, running stock). I noticed that my dialer in the Moto X is missing the Google Now functionality (it's not searching local businesses, etc)
Is this happening to anybody else? Is there a setting that I'm missing that turned the feature off?
I found a support entry from Google (Use caller ID by Google) but the option listed (Menu > Settings > Caller ID by Google) is not available on my phone.
I'm going to go home and check on my Nexus 4.
Never mind, I figured it out. Please delete me
Thanks!
Just what did you figure out?

Has anyone figured out how to get this working with the stock launcher? I'd really like to use the Google Dialer but I don't want to have to use Nova.
Use one of shortcut creating apps in the store. See thebdialer tread in Apps forum.

Kitkat exchange issue work around?

Hey all-
With the while exchange email issue with kitkat how is everybody accessing their mail? I am using the lite version of touchdown for my email but I do not love it, is there a better app out there? Or better yet is there a non-rooted work around to use the default mail app?

I'm using cloudmagic. It's OK, but I prefer the stock app. I don't know of anyway to fix the issues with the stock app.
Have you looked at Aqua Mail?

I have used EE (Enhanced Email) for a while. It allows you to skip the exchange enforcement rules, and is based off stock android client.
I will try out EE I gave aquamail a test drive and did not love it

What Exchange issue are you talking about? There is some issue with pushing but if to change in setting to poll every 5, 10, 15 or whatever minutes instead of push it works OK. Definitely is not necessary to use 3rd party email app for this.

How does this work if the Moto X has Email.apk and Exchange.apk instead of EmailGoogle.apk and Exchange2Google.apk?
I was following another thread but it hasn't been updated with a non-flashable set of files (I don't have a custom recovery).

your talking to users who are likely NOT rooted (such as myself). This method doesn't work unless you're rooted. The manifests don't line up between the two installs, which prevents EmailGoogle.apk from installing on the X (without root).
The only way around this issue is to use a third party app or keep an eye on your account settings and if something is stuck (syncing now), uncheck sync and re-check.
I just stay on 4.2.2 until they release 4.4.2. It's not worth the effort.
Try MailWise (beta) from the Play Store. It's replaced the default email app to access email from Exchange servers. Pretty impressive app for stability, features, and developer responsiveness.

Problem with SMS and Google voice default setting

I can't for the life of me figure out how to use Google Voice as my default SMS app. My Note 3 and every other phone I've used in the past few years has all had this as an option. I don't really want to use hangouts as it's just not really setup as a SMS app yet.
Anyone else have this issue or a possible solutions?

I've been searching around and it seems that this is an issue for all S5's no matter the carrier. I'm experiencing the same issue on my T-Mobile S5. It sucks because I can't get my Google Glass to send messages from Google Voice anymore.
Hopefully Samsung will fix this asap.

I don't have it either and just flashed the first official 4.4.2 to my note2 and it's not there either so maybe it's a change to the newer 4.4.2 firmwares.
