Hi, just got my d4 in the mail and I'm currently running the debloated ics rom and i actually love it. Motoblur got it right and htc sense is awfuuuuul. Anyway the problem im having is that i use google voice for text messaging. So i use the google voice integrator from the play store. What it does is route the google voice incoming messages to gosms or the stock text client. I get the messages just fine on gosms but i dont get any notifications.
I scoured the internet high and low for an answer but i cannot find a working solution. Its a minor problem that i can live with but i was hoping someone could give me some insight.
Thanks !

Has anyone had this problem?? When I'm texting on the stock messenger app my keyboard lags so much that the letters don't even appear on the screen until a few minutes later. It seems to only happen while I'm texting, It hasn't happened while web browsing or anything like that. Any one have any suggestions to fix this? I have apps running in the background but I usually close them when I'm finished. The app also crashes quite often. I'm on the newest update so 14.1.G.2.257 If it is the stock app is there any suggestions as to what other texting app I can use? And this may be unrelated but why is it that you can't assign sms tones to specific individuals. Is there also an app for that??
After updating hangouts to 4.0 I've lost MMS capabilities. I've read in a few places that "Google disabled it in fear of stagefright but it will be turned back on when the rollout is complete.". Can anyone actually confirm that? And if that's true, why isn't anyone talking about it? That seems like kind of a big deal to me. Anyways, MMS through Textra and previous versions of hangouts works just fine. Any input is appreciated!
Mms works for me
You seriously using hangouts for sms/mms? Why? Use google messenger. MUCH cleaner and nicer.
Also FYI: could actually be your SERVICE PROVIDER disabling MMS.
What do you guys prefer in regards to texting?
I find hangouts a bit choppy but seems like it has more features.

I have 2 gmail accounts work and personal and it is a pain in the butt looking for different contacts in hangouts because you can only use one account at a time they dont combine the contacts of the 2 accounts
It seems like Hangouts does not work with the Galaxy Gear (watches), huh?
my choice messenger will always be WhatsApp (messaging, voice/video clips, voice calling) for its simplicity, yet is pretty feature-packed. i hate what Talk has become (since it became Hangouts Messenger). but for voice or video calling, i ultimately prefer WeChat. the quality is really good and it holds on to a connection pretty well (doesn't disconnect so easily) when in poor signal conditions.

I like the way Google Messenger and Hangouts work with group messages but for right now I can't get with the lag that both app have so im sticking with the stock messaging app for the moment. if they update them to make the more fluent I will jump on hangouts. Google Messenger also have too many colors.
I went back to the stock messaging app, Google hangouts doesn't have quick reply, and it lags.

I noticed the new 4.0 version of Hangouts lags backing out of app and opening some MMS. Clearning cache/data and reverting to previous stock version fixes the lag.
I'm currently using Google messenger. It does lag a bit.

Stock messages works just fine for me
Textra
Yeah Google hangouts is really laggy I went back to messages. I'd type several letters before they'd register on screen

I only had this problem with the stock keyboard. No lag problems for me on hangouts + Swype.

UPDATE : This man was right. Totally made a difference
I have this with Hangouts 4 and Swiftkey. Constant lag. But the Sammy messenger app is butt ugly.
I'm using hangouts due to the Google voice ans hangout integration. It is a bit laggy with swiftkey
I just started using textra, I like it so much more. Just had to disable it from turning the screen on.

Hangouts notifications were really inconsistent for me on the Note 3, so I'm not even going to bother testing with the N5. I have my Google Voice integrated into Hangouts, and I use it occasionally for work chatter, but nothing that requires any sort of reliability.
I only stick with stock apps if they off what I want, and that's mainly a Quick Reply feature. I was using Google Messenger as my SMS app because my last phone (One M8) did not have that built in. Since the Note 5 does have it, I found no need to use Google Messenger anymore. And I like the stock app cause I can quick reply while in landscape aswell. Google Messenger would only allow you to quick reply in portrait.

Check out an app called Gear Notifications. It will allow you to reply to hangouts messages. The device also has a thread on the gear s forum on xda.

If you are using the stock keyboard because you like google's speech-to-text, check out the swype xposed plugin 'SwypeTweaks.' Replaces the dragon voice with google's. I get lots of lag in several apps with the Samsung keyboard on my Note 5...Swype all the way for me.
Hi all. I'm having an issue where when I try tapping the microphone button on the stock keyboard the voice input thing pops up but then quickly disappears. Voice input is working in other ways just not from the keyboard. Has anyone else experienced this? Oh, it also does the same thing on Swiftkey.
SOLUTION: so it turns out this only happens while using the stock messaging (sms) client. Voice input works when I switch over to using, the very similar, Google messenger app. Also in Facebook messenger, email apps etc. Therefore it is not a problem with voice input or with the keyboard exactly, but how the stock messenger app interacts with the keyboard.
Anyways I'm curious to see if this happens to others with the Idol 4 (non-S). Comment below with your experience and hit the thanks button if this has helped you.
You should try the Google keyboard, it has swiping feature and on my phone the mic button works
I think the Google keyboard IS the stock keyboard. But yes I I've tried it.

No I think the default keyboard is the "Android keyboard" has no swipe. Google keyboard is different.
No issues here using both stock Google keyboard or SwiftKey.

Thanks. I must have a faulty unit. A factory reset doesn't fix it.

Yes i can confirm that the stock sms app is at fault. i use Textra for sms so i never noticed the issue.
