I tried using MyBackupPro to backup my SMS, MMS, and Phone logs from my Nexus 4 and then import (restore) them into the Nexus 5. Phone logs came over just fine, but I still can't see the SMS/MMS history in Hangouts. How this can be done? It's not really important to me, but I would like to know if it is at least doable.

I use Hangouts but purposely use it only for SMS/MMS and stay logged out of my google account there.
At least three times now since installed Lollipop three or so weeks ago the app has logged me into my google account. I then have to go into the Settings area of the app and Sign Out.
Hangouts keeps sending messages twice and i don't know how to fix this. It is very annoying because my friends get angry because i always send twice. Is their a fix for this or Google just has to update it?
View 10 Replies View RelatedIn an effort to squeeze a little extra battery life from my phone I setup a tasker profile to disable mobile data when on Wifi.
Unfortunately, that means I can't get MMS messages when on Wifi. I'm using hangouts, but don't think it's hangouts specific. If there's a way to make this work?
so in the new 4.0 version of hangouts noticed that you can send a video anymore?!? In the older version of hangouts you could. Is it just me?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem where I cannot text to 6 digit numbers (for card balances and whatnot) because there is a +1 in front of the number. There is no way to edit the number before sending the text. I have tried deleting the contact and manually typing the 6 digit number but it still adds +1 in front of it (which gives me an error when I send the text) . How to get hangouts to remove the +1?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI can't get an image to appear for me in Hangouts SMS. I'm referring to the user image on the right side of the screen during conversations/threads. It just shows the generic person graphic.
If I send a txt to myself then the left-side avatar (the sender) shows up correctly (my Google+ profile image), but the right-side image is still the generic one.
At first I thought this was due to me not having an image assigned in the top part of "My local profile" when I open myself up in the People app. I assigned myself a photo but still nothing appears (after a reboot). (I did note that on the N4 there was nothing assigned to that image option either, and SMS simply used my Google+ image.)
just picked up a Nexus 5 last weekend.
My fiancee has an iphone and has been trying to send me MMS, and they're not coming through to the Hangouts app. I have auto-retrieve set to ON (even checked auto retrieve on roaming just to make sure). I'm on LTE in NYC (AT&T). I've rebooted the phone, tried deleting the message thread and starting a new one, airplane mode, etc...APN seems fine.
The strange part is this was working just the other day. Now, I'm totally new to Android (coming from an iPhone) so is it possible I changed some setting without knowing what I was doing? Possibly. Do I recall what I did? Nope.
Even stranger: Textra shows the image fine. Hangouts does not.
is there a way to attach videos? i just see record video.

View 1 Replies View Relatedhad to switch back to Hangouts from Textra and miss the emoticons Textra had. Hangouts emoticons seem...rather crap. I've tried different emoticons apps from the playstore, but they want to replace Hangouts. While I don't particularly like Hangouts, im just going to settle for now. So, is it possible to keep using Hangouts and just add the emoticons to the current keyboard?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been using the new Hangouts app with merged SMS and I like it. I can't figure out for the life of me why all people either appear as their photos in G+, others who have no photos appear white on gray background and one contact appears dark blue on light blue background. What the dark blue on light blue icon means?

I have tried selecting and unselecting the MMS to group messaging box in the settings and it seems to have no effect. I can't figure out how to select two contacts for sms.
Nexus 5 running 5.1 on hangouts version 3.0.87531466 and am using google voice on AT&T.
While texting a friend, I typed the message: "like 4 years" and the 4 came out in the superscript format for no reason. All I did was hold down the 'r' key, and let go once a 4 showed up. I sent the message, and they read it as the 4 being superscripted. I tried to recreate this accident, but was unable to. I kinda want to send superscript format messages, because that would look cool.
I have a Nexus 5, and I was using the 'Hangouts' sms system.
send an SMS message to someone in Hangouts then delete the message. Now open up the Contacts app (not Dialer) and find that same person. Under the person's details you will see a section called Recents. You will see the message you just sent and deleted with no options, at least that i know of, to delete this message. It will stay there for a few days and then will disappear. But those few days keeping a deleted message is not a good thing. I can just imagine the number of people who are cheating get caught because they didn't know their spouse, boyfriend or girl friend can see who and what recent messages they've been sending to someone, that they thought they had deleted or cleared, just by browsing thru the Contacts app. I think this needs to be changed so that if you delete your messages in Hangouts it will also delete the corresponding message in Contacts instantly.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I have recently changed from iPhone to the Nexus 5 (love it BTW). It has been a bit of a nightmare due to apple, especially SMS and MMS. So my issue is that people are not receiving my messages right away and incoming takes forever if they ever make it, pics are even worse! I realize Apple registers your mobile number with their servers for imessage and pretty much lock it down so it has a hard time reverting to SMS again. I have unregistered my mobile number with Apple in all aspects. This seemed to work for me but people are still having issues replying to my messages.

One of the things I have not been able to figure out is how to search within my SMS messages. The old SMS app did this easily at the push of one on screen button.
Is this no longer a feature or am I just not looking in the right place?
I recently found Boldbeast for recording calls through the normal phone dialer, but I can't find anything that will record calls placed or received through the Hangouts Dialer.

View 1 Replies View RelatedEver since the last hangouts update whenever I'm in a convo it no longer shows when the other participant is typing to me or when they are looking at the convo. Instead the profile pic that shows what they last read up to always shows gray like they don't have the convo open and when the person actually replies it just pops up with no typing notification. Same thing with my finance's nexus 4.
