[Q] Hangouts 2.3 on T679 - Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G

I have the CM11 Rom installed on my Galaxy Exhibit and installed Google+ Hangouts 2.1 a while ago. I tried to update to 2.3 (new google voice integration!) but the Google Play store says Hangouts in incompatible with the "T-Mobile - US Samsung SGH-T679" Is this something with this ROM, or it is a real hardware issue? Have other people gotten Hangouts 2.3 working on the T679? Could I side-load Hangouts?
Thanks,

I am on cars' latest CM11 ROM with the Christopher K^Kernel and had no problems updating to the latest Hangouts 2.3.75067996. Got it straight from Google Play automatically. Also installed the latest Hangouts Dialer from Google Play, plus Google Voice. Not sure why it wouldn't work for you. Are you sure you're on CM11?

Interesting. Glad to know it can work on my hardware. I'm running CyanogenMod 11 20140714-UNOFFICIAL from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542793 -- which ROM are you using? The latest CM 11 doesn't mention using Christopher's Kernel, although the 7/10 version does. If it were a kernel thing, I'd be surprised that when I go to the google play website (on my desktop) it says that Hangouts isn't compatible with SGH-T679 -- although maybe it is really saying it isn't compatible with my phone in its current form and it happens to be a SGH-T679.
Are you running a different DPI? I've occasionally had this issue on some apps when I switched to 182 DPI, but since gmail, etc works I didn't think that was the issue.

Cars' ROM is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600757. Standard DPI. Using the final Banks Minimal Gapps. I haven't changed my install much beyond that.
Guessing it's the difference in ROMs. Also, do you have Google Voice installed? If not, I'd try getting that first.

Previously I successfully installed and ran Hangouts on the ROM you linked: CM11 by @jfbs.
The GApps I used was also the one that @ulibube mentioned: BaNkS 7-29_GApps_Minimal_4.4.4 (no longer available).
My theory is you're running into some GApps issues.
For example, the last couple of days I've been playing around with different ROM, kernel, and runtime setups.
One time I flashed a GApps version dated 6/6/14; this one had an older Play Store version, so when I installed Hangouts, I received a message from Hangouts that said I have to update Play Store and Google Framework Services. I thought this was weird so I started from scratch again as not to encounter any errors.
This is my current setup as of this morning and I haven't encountered any errors:
ROM: CM11 by @cars1189 Build 9-9-14. Can be found here (scroll down to ROM 9-9-14).
Kernel: ADC/Linaro (note: this kernel may not support OC/UV, if you need that, use Christopher K^Kernel). Can be found on same link as above (use the build corresponding to ROM build date).
GApps: PA GApps - Nano Modular. Can be found here.
Runtime: Dalvik
Note: I am not running a custom DPI and a search reveals that may also be a issue.
I found this link that may pertain to your use-case: Play Store Fixes | Xposed Module Repository I have no experience with Xposed Module though, so you're on your own and further research is required.

should you need banks still i uploaded and posted under Mahdi 4 page 3rd to last post about a week or so ago.

One more note, not sure if it's relevant - I overclock to 1.4GHz.
Also, not sure what the audio quality of the VoIP Hangouts is on our little phone - have not put it to use yet.

It's pretty good.
I'm using AT&T with this phone and in my area signal quality is very poor; for some reason the other night I could not make a regular phone call (received some error about Mobile Network not being available) but the phone showed I had 3G, so I made a Hangouts call and it was just like listening to a regular call.

So, I sideloaded Hangouts 2.3 on my phone and it worked fine. Google Play still said the app was incompatible, but whatever. Then this morning I see that there is a Google Play update to Hangouts. Seems like whatever issue I was having got fixed with the latest Hangouts update and it now says my phone is compatible. Weird as I didn't change anything on my phone, but whatever.
I'd say VOIP quality isn't great, but is useable. My VOIP phone over the same internet connection is significantly better. Haven't tried over 3G, only WiFi.

I'm running cars' 9-9-14 cm11 build with k^kernel 3.4.102 and have Hangouts 2.3 running ok, and I can make and receive Google Voice calls, but the phone will vibrate only when there is an incoming call. I checked all the volume levels and the ringer volume is turned up. It rings normally if I do a hangouts video call. Anybody else having this issue?

I just called my Google Voice number and I'm having the same issue described as you; only vibration on incoming call.
I wonder if this is an app issue or ROM issue. I just got a Moto G tonight, will test and report back.

Just wanted to report that when calling my Google Voice number and Hangouts v2.3.75731955 setting Incoming phone calls is checked and Phone ringtone is set to ring, the Hangouts app indeed rings.
As for the Exhibit and Hangouts, maybe have to Clear app data and try again.

[Q] CM7 and Video talk

I've installed CM7 (nightly-5) with latests gapps (gapps-gb-20110503-signed.zip) but can't make the video talk work.
I've the video icon for me and for the contacts with google talk installed in PCs, but in either way (him calling me or me calling) it is stucked to 'calling', without any hint on the other side of being called.
Does anyone tested it and experienced the same behavior? Seems to work on nexus S according to youtube videos...

CM9 probs

Hi,
yesterday, I successfully installed "official" CM9 on my GT-P7100 from get.cm. However, there are some issues which I hope can be fixed (or not, as the case may be).
- Camera is not working. Is that normal? In the other thread, I read that it should work with pershoot's image from androidbasement. What's the difference between the androidbasement version and the oficial one from get.cm, anyway? Which is more recent/stable/feature-complete?
- WhatsApp is not installable from Play Store. It says "Your device is not compatible with this version". Does anyone know a reason?
- GSM telephony doesn't work (messaging neither). It didn't with the original image, too, but I hoped to make it available with ICS - actually, that was the main reason for me, to flash the tab. Could flashing the modem driver help? At the moment, Baseband is still P7100BULB4. I read that some people flashed it to P7500XXKL3. What could be the reason for doing so?
I attached xome screenshots to give you some hints about my system config. Unfortunally they are in German but should be pretty self-explaning. I can help translating, if you can't understand it.
Thanks for helping, anyway!
Cheers
Chris~
Pershoot may not have uploaded his experimental code for the camera up to the cm repository yet. The new builds on droid basement are still experimental.
Whatsapp has never worked out of the box. If you search there are some people who found workarounds in the early days but I never tried them myself, gtalk works perfectly.
Gsm calling is a dream unrealised. Seo did at one stage have an experimental code to get call receiving working but never call making and he seems to have lost his code and I never saw any of it working on ICS. Messaging also doesnt work. Try textab, works well.Flashing the different modem won't fix this either.
If I were you, I'd flash the experimental cm9 or even cm10 at droid basement and enjoy.

thanks for the comprehensive info! pitty that gsm/messaging doesn't work. At least I know now, that it's not worth bothering.
TexTab is cool, although I'd prefer not to use blutooth. Is there a similar app using email or another Internet-based protocol?
I found out how to install WhatsApp. Download the App from this Site: http://www.whatsapp.com/android/current/WhatsApp.apk
During installation it tries to send you an SMS for authentication. This fails, because the tablet can't receive SMSs, but don't worry, just wait five minutes until the progress bar reaches the end. After that you get the option to enter the pin manually (you can receive a phone call with the pin).

[Q] Autosync problem with multiple email & IM apps after CM11 upgrade

Hi, my first post, sadly with a problem.
I would have posted it in the CM11 development thread by pawitp but I'm not allowed yet.
So, after upgrading from CM10.2 to CM11 I'm experiencing delays with various email and IM apps (gmail, yandex mail, whatsapp, hangouts). Some messages arrive with couple of hours delay and some don't arrive till I open the app I need.
This is independent of the WiFi or 3G connection. I also removed Greenefy app with no improvement and I'm not using any task killer. I tried all the nightlies available on CM updater. After the upgrade I haven't changed any options.
Am I missing some option somewhere as I checked all the accounts for autosync and everything seems to be ok.
Any suggestions?

Going back to CM10.2 untill CM11 gets improved.
That is what I did.
IMHO I'm not even sure my i9000 can run any better than with CM10.2 & Semaphore 3.3.0s & BigMem libs enabled, so I doubt I will want to upgrade to CM11-15
@freakymod2120
since I'm not familiar with all the details of the Android I didn't think that the thing you mentioned could be the cause of my problems. thanks.
@tetakpatak
It seems I'll go back to 10.2 for now. thanks

Problems with XT1058 LP Update

Hi guys this are the problems that i noticed after the update. This thread is specially for XT1058 but they could be in any builds too
why we dont have the full material launcher ?
sometimes my moto voice starts up without/with any command even in pocket.
moto voice's resposiveness is less than KK one. ----> this happens because of custom launch phrase.
and my phone does not go into sleep mode even after passing of time set in settings .
does anyone have this problems ??
David schuster told that there were some bugs in final release and they're planning updates for them.

Not sure what you mean about the launcher. The Moto X has always has a slightly modified launcher. You can download the Google Launcher from the store.
I did have the same issue with the phone not going to sleep. I rebooted and have not had the problem since, though I can't say for sure yet that it won't happen again.
I'll tell you what problems I faced.
- 1st fresh install, complete sbf: after 24 hs of using it without problems, the phone freezed, rebooted and after the bootanimation bum! black screen. It was on because if I held power button I can see the power off banner. After many reboots getting the same results, I decided to factory reset. And just in case, I reflashed Boot and System.
- 2nd fresh install: I'm getting the static noise bug on moto voice, WiFi toggle dissapears sometimes...
I don't want to keep playing this with a joke rom. I wish I stayed on KK.
CM here I go...
I took an OTA and no problem since. Has it ever occurred to you that you cause the problems you described by not following the general practice? Why sbf? Why not OTA?

Well I own a Movistar 1058 so I flashed retail Brazil for 1058 (it works for every 1058 latam).
I also flashed manually (mfastboot). I think it's 'cleaner' than RSD (and by the way I've never used RSD). Besides I have always used mfastboot to flash stock KK after using custom roms and never had a problem. So I discard the method to be the culprit. Aaand, I've seen others reporting same issues too.
Hello,
I've updated to 5.1 recently and made Factory Reset.
Problems:
1) Google GMail app does not support Exchange Account - for some reason Lolipop has separate application for exchange accounts -_- which is worthless because GMail should support it by default, thats very annoying for me, i dont want to use extra apps.
2) Sometimes BACK button doesnt work when i finish scrolling through Facebook app and i am forced to minimize the app and then restore it again.
3) Sometimes, especially after i unplug the phone from the charger, my screen doent want to go to sleep, it just literally sucks my battery life, only thing that helps this bug is a restart
Those are 3 major things that annoy me after update.
Is it only me with the Exchange problem or everybody else got this thing messed up ? I was really hoping to setup exchange on my Gmail app after the update....

Google TTS distortion Moto X AT&T 5.1
I updated to 5.1 on XT1058 AT&T variant of Moto X 1st gen on 7/7/15.
When I have Moto read aloud my text messages the audio output is highly distorted. When I listen to podcasts I have no distortion. If I go to settings/language & input/Text-to-speech output/ and press Listen to an example it is distorted.
In the past with KitKat 4.4.4 I was able to uninstall the latest version of Google TTS which resolved the problem. With the 5.1, neither the current version of Google TTS dated 7/8 nor uninstalling the current version work to solve the issue.
Does anyone have this issue?
Has anyone found a solution?
I tired listening to a tts example it was very clear, my tts version is 3.4.6.1819666.arm you can try it with other tts engine. There are some engines available on play store
What drives me nuts is the stutter I get when swiping away my recent apps. But no other issues so far for me.

I am using the same version of TTS as yours. I tried Ivona TTS, but there is no way to force the use of Ivona over Google TTS in every instance. It's a known issue with trying to use other TTS engines as the default engine. You end up with 3 different characters speaking/reading to you.
Thanks for checking your TTS

[Kind of Solved] Sony Xperia T WhatsApp and some other problems

So I just flashed the stable CM11 version (after having some troubles with the Nightly Build) and now following problems occure:
Whatsapp can't send or receive any media files e.g. voice messages, pictures etc. Just normal texting does work. Also if I try to take a picture or record a voicemail an errormessage appears like "camera not available"
The only reason why I switched from my old Xperia E to the new phone was, that my GF wanted to play Pokemon Go with me, but the App won't start correctly. It just closes after the login via Google.
I tried some workarounds (because I assumed an error with the sdcard0), so I used chmod /chown to exclude permission problems. The only difference was visible at Pokemon Go: The App now closes a bit later (I don't think it's important, but maybe). It's not too important to get PGo up and running but that Whatsapp-thing really is annoying me. Sorry for my bad english.
