[Q] Motorola Assist and 4.4 leaks - Moto X Q&A

Has Motorola re-engineered Assist in the 4.4 leaks to support reading SMS while in driving mode through the hangouts app (or whatever app you set as SMS default with the new 4.4 api for that matter)?

Google voice SMS messages through SMS app?

Is there an app that can have the SMS app receive the google voice messages and default to sending through GV? There are plugins for the iPhone that do this, but havent found anything for android that will do it. I hate using the official app for SMS... its slow and clunky!
Thanks.
I'm not aware of anything for Android, but I would love to know as well if there is.
In regard to Google Voice being slow and clunkly. It may be a little annoying to some to have to use a seperate application, but there are fixes to the slowness. Mine is just as fast as opening the stock sms window.
Voodoo Lagfix resovle the slow google voice app issue for me.
Google voice needs to be completely integrated into android. One should have the option of setting it as the default voicemail and sms client. One should also be able to apply themes.
I suspect the lack of mms support is 1 reason they haven't made it so.
As always, IMHO

KitKat Apple's issues

I was hoping to make a single thread with any issues running the 4.4 apps that have been released. I know there has been an issue with hangouts when sending mms. Any known issues with the gallery app, camera app, maps, or the new Gmail app?

[Q] GV text messages captured by xvoice+ not read by Moto Assist in driving mode

I have xvoice+ xposed module installed and it does a great job at intercepting Google Voice text messages and routing them to the stock SMS app. However, they are not read in the driving mode.
I tried to find out if this is a common issue for all moto x users, but got no response in the app's thread.
Maybe this is expected behavior, since these are not Verizon text messages, but rather rerouted google voice text messages.
I just wanted to check if I'm alone with this issue, or if it affects everybody the same way.

[Q] Hangouts on Verizon Moto X 2014

When I open a hangouts convo from the active notification, the conversation sometimes scrolls all the way to the top and I need to manually scroll down. Has anyone else had this issue?
Yeah I have it too on the T-Mobile pure edition on lollipop ...I think its just a bug with the recent update so I guess we just have to wait for google to push a fix out
Sigh... it is getting quite annoying. Especially with the longer conversations.
I am seeing this as well running the retail/tmobile 5.0 lollipop, seems to have been a bug added in the last update to Hangouts, or possibly the previous update.
I have this on my nexus 4, 7 and moto x and have since 2.3 of hangouts. Its not a moto x bug.

So i guess it is a hangouts bug then... Any way around it for people? Or do I just have to delete the conversation once it gets too long....

[Q] Hangouts Scrolling Issue

Whenever I open a Hangouts message from the active notifications on my Moto X, it automatically scrolls to the very top of the thread. This is for Hangouts messages and SMS messages inside the Hangouts app. I then have to manually scroll all the way down. It appears to happen sometimes when I get a message while the phone is unlocked, but every time when the phone is locked and I click the active notification. Has anyone else encountered this problem and/or found a solution? Is there a shortcut to auto-scroll back to the bottom?
I searched Google, and all I can find are tons of threads about Hangouts messages from the computer loading one by one in the thread on the phone app, requiring scrolling down to load each one. This is not the problem I am having, and the solutions offered (such as changing animation settings in developer options) do not fix my problem. I'm posting in the Moto X-specific forum because this is only happening to me on my Moto X 2014. I'm running 5.0 stock unrooted. I was not having this problem on my GS5 on stock unrooted 4.4.4 yesterday, my Nexus 7 on AOSPA 5 last week, or my Nexus 9 on AOSPA 5 today. This leads me to believe it is a Moto X-specific or stock 5.0-specific problem rather than a Hangouts-general problem.
I have the same issue also. It's not a moto x problem
I have found that if I back out of the thread then re-enter it, it starts me off back at the bottom. It's not ideal, but it works for now.
I've had that issue on my Moto X 2013 running 4.4.4. It's not a specific problem to the Moto X 2014. Can't tell you if it is happening on my Moto X 2014 since I had switched a few months ago to Google's Message app.

Do you not use Hangouts at all anymore? Because it is happening to me with Hangouts messages and SMS, so even if I switch apps, I still have to deal with it happening with Hangouts messages. And I have tested it several different ways on my Nexus 9 and cannot replicate the problem.

Yup. I stopped using hangouts. I just could not stand the UI.
My lady and I use hangouts to chat at work, so we use hangouts pretty much exclusively for seamless conversion when we are away from the computer or on our tablets, so I'm a slave to hangouts.
We just need an update for hangouts

But is it a Hangouts issue or a Moto X issue? I can't find any threads or anything about it on Google, and I have not experienced it on any other device. Dark experienced it on Moto X 2013, and it happens 100% of the time I open from active notifications, so I think the issue lies with active notifications.
I can confirm that this is fixed in 5.1, so just hope that the OTA is not far away
