SMS not working in Hangouts on Moto X?

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

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.

[Q] Cyanogenmod Moto x Sprint/Ting but banner says verizon

So I have a Moto x that I bought from ting. I unlocked the bootloader through the Motorola website. Then I flashed a nightly Cyanogenmod 11 room through TWRP custom recovery. All works well through ting. But the unlock screen and notification tray say Verizon wireless.
Anything I can do about That?
Also does anyone know when active notifications or touches or control might be added? Or can I add them myself?

What's ting? And good luck with seeing any of the Moto-specific apps getting added to CM. Grab them off the Play Store, I have no idea of they'll work or not.

The play store tells me they are not compatible with my device. Ting is an mvno carrier that uses Sprints network. When you call them during normal business hours a live human answers the phone, and the pricing is quite good. I highly recommend them.
Maybe I will go back to stock Android 4.4 and simply have root. Now I have to figure out how to do that.

That is the direct link to the download. It works great on my phone. But I miss the two features that make the moto x the moto x. Without the active notifications and touchless control I may as well get a Nexus 5.

Hotword detection anywhere in latest Search update

Looks like the latest Google Search update is testing always listening (lock screen, apps) for OK Google Hotword detection. Only for "certain accounts" at the moment though.
with Search 3.5 installed, certain Google accounts are now able to use “OK Google” Hotword detection in any screen, including the lock screen and third-party apps. Unfortunately, this feature is only available on a few accounts at the moment, but hopefully the rollout continues quickly.

I guess your account isn't one of the few.
Do you guys think it is just random accounts, or would these account holders know ahead of time that they have these special permissions? I'm assuming it's for accounts which signed up for some beta testing.

You are right. It might be for early beta testers.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

Started working for me as soon as I installed the apk. Haven't done anything special as such to get it. You can get the hotword detection working from settings. Basically, it works exactly like a moto x except it doesn't work when the phone is both not being charged and also the screen is off. Waiting for custom hotwords now, "OK Google" seems kinda lame.

I read that it's being released in waves to different users and you also have to be on the latest Google play services 5.* But it is being rolled out in a back end search update in waves, few reports of users already having it.

I guess my account is part of "the few"??? I went to Google Settings -> Voice -> "OK Google" Detection and saw a few extra options including detect anywhere. Ticked those options and worked great even on Nova Launcher with Nova's native OK Google feature DISABLED.

I was watching an Android wear video on YouTube on my phone and with this turned on when the person in the video said "OK google" my phone heard it and tried to search.

Haha it's the "XBOX ON" issue all over again. I think maybe it should stop listening when the speaker is outputting sound since they're right next to each other.

I saw a story about a new version of the Moto app that has location settings. The app also says it has new features in the play store. However, I don't have the option to update and I want it super bad because the location based settings could replace tasker for me. Has anyone gotten this update? If so, apk plz? Soon backanswer!
