Re: Official Android Discussion Thread
I am using hangouts exclusively for sms currently. it works pretty well the only thing I do not like is that it doesn't wake up my screen whenever a message comes through... I am sure there is a way to fix it, I just don't know what it is and don't care enough to research it.Comment

Been using MMS in Hangouts since it's been available and it's worked for me like a charm. I do all my texting on my S3 through hangouts now just because I prefer the interface.Comment

Love using Hangouts as my new SMS replacement. Haven't noticed any extra battery strain, and it's very responsive.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread
What is Hangouts? I keep getting notifications for it on my phone. Is that Google's texting app or something?Comment

The SMS Option is that it can be used to send and receive SMS/MMS also, so you don't have to go to two different apps to get your messaging.

I posted this in Off Topic, but you guys should see this too:
I just started a beta testing program on the Google Play store for a calendar app that I wrote. If anyone's interested in giving it a try, send me a PM and I'll invite you to a Google Plus Community.Last edited by The GIGGAS; 12-15-2013, 01:27 PM.Rose City 'Til I Die

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread
Thanks. I looked into it a bit more. Something isn't working right for nexus 7's and hangouts. It doesn't allow the enabling of sms in hangouts above 4.3. There's some reports that Google is saying it's intentional but that doesn't make sense.Oakland Athletics San Jose Sharks

Eh, doesn't seem like I need Hangouts. I never use Google Talk/Chat.Comment

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread
I tried using hangouts, but the lack of contact pictures next to names bugged me, so I just use my default texting app.

Facebook took sms out of their messenger too (which is too bad, since that's the app I used for my sms messaging).

I have the HTC One and I'm having battery life issues. I'll go to bed with 60 to 70% power and get woken up by my phone beeping because it has less than 20% power.
Do any of the battery saving apps actually work?

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread
I have a Galaxy S4 and this was happening to me a couple of weeks ago. For me it was Google Play Services that was constantly running that was killing my battery. It was taking up over 50% of my battery even when I wasn't doing anything and no apps running in the background. It was like this for almost a week or so before it stopped.Comment
