My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Get a used Nexus 4. Hell, I'll sell you mine.
I'm getting worried guys. THe play store says it's updated the hangout app and my phone hasn't updated? Should i be worried.
EDIT: And does sideloading an apk break warranty? I did that before and had to factory reset my phone due to bugs.
EDIT:Nvm mind. I just rebooted the phone.
EDIT: Yup, my nexus 4 won't update the hangouts app. FUCK. Never been rooted but i sideloaded the apk for the app before and did a factory reset. Is my phone messed up? Am i over reacting?

Get a used flagship phone, don't get a new low end phone. You will hate yourself. I am sure you can get a flagship LG or HTC for very cheap.

I'm... I'm distrustful towards second hand electronics... I'm sure it's just a prejudice, but I feel like I don't have enough "control" over the sell.
Bboy AJ, where are you from? How much would you sell your Nexus 4 for?

i dunno what it's like elsewhere, but in the USA you can get an LG Optimus F3 for $150, and it's far from garbage.
yeah core count is one factor. it's like having 4 thimbles instead of 2 big cups.

Can you get into the app info of hangouts? Uninstall any updates it should revert the app to the factory settings.
Sideloading apks shouldn't do any harm. It's just another way to install apps outside of Google Play. Think of it as an exe installer on a PC.

Seems like the LG Optimus F3 is not available where I live (Belgium). Thanks for the suggestion though.

Nexus 10 continuing to drop in price, it's on a Groupon deal in the UK for £249/289. (3rd party seller)
If it gets down to £199 then I'll be tempted. Unless the new N10 is smaller, lighter and with better battery life.

GAF, HALP! I just got my N5, am setting it up, installed the sim, updated the contacts, etc... and all of my friends SMSing me are coming through on my old iPhone as iMessages (I have it up on wifi due to it not having a sim). I confirmed with them that they are sending it to my phone number and not my email address.
I unregistered my iPhone with Apple as well.. but SMS keep getting converted to iMessages when they send them. Can anyone help me resolve this?

I am sure you can get a HTC One X or LG Optimus G for 250 new. You won't see me recommending any midtier phone.

did you turn off iMessage before unregistering your iPhone?
No. I did it the opposite. I guess order of operations matters? =\

no idea. i just know that is one of the things people suggest. so many people have problems with iMessage and even more have problems when they leave.
but why isn't hangouts more like imessage!
Nope. Says its up to date, even though the store version is 2.0 and my installed version is 1.2.xx
The Faceless Master

honestly, iMessage seems more like a Google product than an Apple product. pushed out in beta status and continues to not work properly for years...
Thanks for the tips Hellblazer. I tried uninstalling the app and updating but still no SMS option in settings :-( is there any way I can check the version of hangouts I have?
Edit:
Okay this might explain it. I wonder how Google determined who gets the update first
Xperia T/V is a good option. T has bigger screen and V is waterproof. They're reasonably cheap now and will get 4.3 next month. Both have microSD card slots.
You could also look at the Galaxy Mega 5.8 too. Not great hardware but cheap and 5.8" screen is insane.
This happened to me too. Uninstalled the Hangouts apk so I could get the official update but Google hasn't pushed the update to me yet. Just have to wait it out. Back to the default messaging app for now.
That sucks. I got mine this afternoon after I was playing around with the ported Nexus 5 kitkat rom for the nexus 4. I decided to go back to default, so I wiped my phone, got back to 4.3, and then as it was updating all the apps it gave me the Hangouts and keyboard update.

Does the Voice app event support displaying MMS? It's pretty garbage.

You may want until after the moto g is announced on the 13th in order to make your decision. It's supposed to be just a tad worse than the X spec wise, but expected to be £135 off contract (or probably around $199/EU199).
If you can't wait, I would go with the Xperia L, based on the choices you gave.

They aren't.
It does not. You get a text message stating you got a MMS and you can view the image on Gmail.
I think he meant the Nexus line. Not the Galaxy Nexus.
Fuck continuing to get carriers to support that workaround...make it work like it should!
I guess it's better than nothing though.
What sort of problems? I never tried it as I feel vendor specific messaging apps are pretty useless. Of course messaging fragmentation is one of my big bugbears. We're going from universal email and sms to a total clusterfuck.
Ancient shit like MMS in the smartphone age should be banned.
I'm going to quote Faceless:
I think the reason It's taking so long for Voice to be integrated into Hangouts is because Google wants to do it right.
I have a question, how does iMessage handle SMS? Does Apple use a "forwarding" # ala Gvoice? Seeing as how people can get SMSs intended for you when you switch devices, is iMessage using the IMEI # to forward texts?
How are the carriers involved in the delivery of these SMSs?
That would be nice, wouldn't it? Unfortunately too many people still use MMS (mostly by "accident" from group messaging) and my conversion powers can't hit them all.
The iPhone checks the phone number and if it is registered to receive iMessage. If it is, the message bypasses the carriers completely and sends through iMessage.
The pain of this is, for people like me who switch between phones (I have a 5s and a couple Android phones), you need to explicitly unregister your number from iMessage on your iPhone before you switch phones. You say "Seeing as how people can get SMSs intended for you when you switch devices", but that's not always true. It's a clusterfuck. I haven't received texts from one of my iPhone friends for weeks. Since I'm selling my GS4 and waiting for my Nexus 5, I've been using my iPhone recently...I'm going to have to remember to disable iMessage before I switch back to Android.

It took a week or longer for me to get the new maps when it came out...Google's staged rollouts are really bad.

Hah, that's funny. I almost thought you were serious here.
you could say the same thing about email....
ThatObviousUser
ὠαἴÏÏιÏÏÎ¿Ï Ïαá¿Ï εἶ
Nah, email can be made good (see Gmail.) The format is kind of horrid (ever view a raw email message? It's essentially bytecode, practically unreadable) but it's been wrangled into something pleasant that will always have a place on the internet. And it's kind of the last open messaging system left (XMPP seems to be dying a slow death.)
MMS is just decrepit. Anything that's tied so closely tocarriers should be tossed on the fire.

Google Keyboard added space to swype typing when you move over the space bar. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.latin

Yet they fucked up the alternate layout and moved the comma and everything around while making the space bar smaller for no goddamn reason.
I don't get why the fuck they felt the need to do that. Messes up my messages all of the time now.

SwiftKey has confirmed that they are working on Emoji and (optional) Number Row support!

Here's a really cool video comparison of all the Nexus phones, starting from the first to the current.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHOmKY09EK4&feature=youtube_gdata_player
The Nexus 4 is still really good. But the N5 being a higher resolution yet still faster is impressive.

Since stock KB doesn't support swype for my language, i wonder if i should buy swype or swiftkey. It annoys me that swiftkey eats a huge bit of ram, 50MB, that is a bit too much imo
Returned my Note 3 for a G2 last night. The KnockOn feature is a stroke of goddamn genius. Chrome is smoother and faster on the G2, and the battery life seems impossibly good, even though I have had it less than 24 hrs. Early impressions are extremely positive. Biggest complaint at this point is that LG's skin makes TouchWiz look like a work of art, but it's mostly customizable.
do you mean the double tap to turn on screen? yup it is really convenient, i wish could do that on my nexus 5.
As i said in the n5 thread, whilo stock android is nice, it is a bit barebones in options and launchers from LG/Samsung/sony, while a bit bloated and memory hungry, sometimes do have a few options that are really nice to have.
