[Q] New Hangouts app - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I was wondering if anyone had tried yet. Mine still shows up as talk, but when I go to the play store it says I have hangouts installed and when i open it from the play store it just opens talk. Since talk came as a system app on the phone does it not get swapped out for hangouts?

Yeah, same here. I wouldn't worry about it though, I'm sure it'll be fixed quite soon.

They updated it today. But I just went in and in uninstalled talk from system (im rooted) and installed hangouts from Play store. So far I like it. Can't wait untill it has sms integration which they said is coming soon

Talk got replaced by Hangouts for me. I did push it from the Play Store from my desktop though. You can try to backup Talk, uninstall it, then install Hangouts. That worked for me also. You're not missing much though. The big news is that it's available for iOS.

I ended up downloading it from aptoide. It upgraded itself after that.

"Oops! We actually have nothing to announce at this time. My apologies."
So maybe no SMS for Hangouts.

Check out the permissions for Hangouts, it already includes sending and receiving SMS and MMS. In addition there was a post by a Google employee (don't recall where, but I read it earlier today) saying that it will be coming soon as it's one of the most requested features.

You can invite friends through SMS. I quoted that Google employee's follow up saying that it was a mistake.

it is still not working, it says "your device already has this item installed"

I got the update this morning....I have JB 4.1 on my phone.....it replaced the talk app but the messenger+ from google plus still persists.......
I didnt really like the hangouts app btw....talk was pretty cool...

Key there is to open the link via browser. Even if you have Google Talk, you can install Google Hangouts over it.

Hulu on Vibrant (Froyo)

It's been a while since I've seen a definitive thread on Hulu and galaxy s.
Here's a good thread from the fascinate with clockworkmod zip and a .apk install. Works just fine on the Vibrant, sometimes you have to close the background process of the hulu app.
Hulu streams quite smoothly on the vibrant too!

What he means is data throttle. All the wonderful sim-lock carriers in the US is capped at 5gb of data. If you exceed 5gb, then you'll be throttled slower than dialup. Technically its unlimited, but throttled.

What I don't get is it is in Hulu's best interests to have Huly playing (their free version) on any and every mobile device out there. Its the market foot print for their advertising. Their marketing dept needs to go back to school!

Oh yeah I forgot about that... that is pretty dumb. 5GB in one month is a lot of usage though. I've never even come close to that, but that's not to say I wouldn't with Hulu. Giving it a try though.

It's the networks (crying about DRM) who are holding it up, not Hulu.
Hulu did announce last month official support for Android is coming soon.
Hulu's marketing team understands that just fine. The people who don't are the old school content companies that own it(Comcast/NBC, Disney/ABC, News Corp, etc.). They still think that by locking down their content, it will force people to keep paying out the arse for it, rather than just pushing more people away.
Wait so is hulu free for vibrant?

Thier up-coming free android app will be (i assume) for their Hulu+ line up. Which is their paid $7.99/mo service. I will also assume that Hule has no desire to reslease their free website for the Android browser to watch shows, because they see Google TV as a competitor not a platform. Yet, I built my windows box hooked to my hi-def TV and can watch streaming Hulu content all day long through my windows box (i cut my cable about a year ago). Microsoft is not pay Hulu one nickle, but Google TV (android) is seen as a competitor!
To answer you question, NO - Hulu is not free on your android device, unless you can find a hack to watch it.

I downloaded the T-mobile Visual Voicemail app from the Playstore and use it without any issues on my N5. I'm not sure what you're talking about...
No work here. Get a message saying no response from the server.
Any one have any ideas how to keep from getting dual notifications? I get a normal voice mail notification (white tape cassette icon) and vvm pink icon.
Also tmo vvm app does NOT show up for me with the N5 stock in the play store. Those who show it in play store must be running custom rom maybe?

On stock N5 at least, I kept getting a non compatibility message when I wanted to dl this. So I pulled this apk off of my S4 backup in Helium. I've had no problem with it so far, but I don't get a lot of VMs.

anyone else getting texts showing up as sent from you to "122" with the message "Activate:dt=6"?
It's related to Tmobile's VVM service and that code seems to be a way to activate voicemail? But it's the only message that's ever sent from my phone and randomly throughout the day, even if i don't have any new voicemails.
Thanks needed this and couldn't find it on the market!

I've gotten that a couple times. I created a Google contact call T-Mobile Alerts with the following numbers:

122

Makes things easier to look prettier in Hangouts or whatever SMS/MMS app you use.
Thank you for uploading this. T-Mobile needs to fix VVM being unavailable on the market asap.

I originally was able to see and install T-Mobile VVM on my Nexus 5....then when 4.4.2 came out I did a factory reset and it was no longer available.
Here's the apk for version 3.7.4.2 released on 12/10/2013. Just got it off of my Galaxy S3 using APK Share. I just installed it on my Nexus 5 and it seems to be working fine....but have only tested it with one voicemail. Don't know if I will start getting the dt=6 SMS again.

if u ever get ur identity stolen by them u could easily sue them..i dont think a multimillion dollar company would want to go bankrupt for committing frauds
they are making multi million from users data... so you have to take care of your own privacy
installing xprivacy now ... thanks to those who suggested this app
Hrmmm, so let me get this straight...
**Runs automatically at startup
**Can open internet connectivity at will without user consent
**Can download files at will without user consent
...isn't that malware (by definition)?
I have mandated that my wife uninstall that bloated POS FB app since a few months ago when the permissions started getting bad... but this update takes the cake! I'm telling everyone I know to just use FB through a web browser!
Thanks OP
I'm going to give tinfoil a try.
It is essentially a "pretty wrapper" as the dev puts it for the facebook mobile site. Thanks for the post OP, I hadn't thought about what permissions the FB app was using with the latest update, I need to pay more attention.
If anyone wants the Facebook app before the latest (the one without all the permissions) its here - https://mega.co.nz/#!50l2mArA!cfLEwuLOT7-72Cknq3M4hAJtHAMWXxqK7P0X-tiBEDs

Then why is the permission there? If it does not use it why did they added it there?
And when they didnt use the permission till now it doesnt mean they will not use it in the future.
The only way is not xprivacy...
Take care of your data and do not install crappy apps... If all users accept such behaviour, there won't be changes... You are responsible for your data....

According to the agreement after configuring the app, this is a free service with no recurring fees app. You can confirm that by installing the app yourself.

Finally saw the latest update come across the play store. New build number is 2.10.1.27. APK is pulled, I'll update OP with it.
Thanks for keeping up with this! Hopefully one day at&t will wake up and make it available to all of us.

I can not get any version of this to work on my Nexus 6. I tried every single one of them from the original post. Tried both on and off wireless.
Called AT&T and verified that VVM had not been shut off on my account when I transferred from my Sammy Galaxy S3 to my Nexus 6 too.
This is all I get. Thoughts?

I just got the AT&T Nexus 6, I side-loaded your newest apk 2.10.1.27 and It works fine! Thank You!
You people are making me want to cry. Still a no go on my N6.
That's it I'm going to wipe the whole phone and start over.

Looking for LG stock calendar app

Does anyone have the stock LG calendar app working on an LS997 variant? I can install the app fine, but it crashes upon start. It would be really nice to have since I like how it shows the actual date on the icon.

It's the last of the stock apps I'd *really* like to get working on the V20. Messages, email (not exchange tho, boo), gallery and music all work for me, so it would be nice...
Thanks!

It's part of the LS997 ROM released by Team DevDigitel. I should be able to get an APK for you but it's probably just as easy to extract it from the ROM. With LG stock apk's YMMV.

I know this apk works since I just pulled it from a ROM that has it included and it was working with the ROM. There must be some sort of dependency that is keeping it from running. I'm going to see if I can do some reverse engineering on it to find out what that dependency is. If anyone can save me a step, I'd be happy to hear what that dependency is!
Did you ever figure this out because I would like to do this myself. Also, you mentioned you had the stock messaging app working. Would you mind sharing the apk and any special instructions not covered by this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/stock-music-app-to-att-version-t3552963
Also, please share the calendar apk as well even though it hasn't worked for you. Maybe I'll have better luck.

Just saw this--I posted links to all of the working LG apps for LS997 unrooted phones somewhere. Once I find them, I'll link to it here.
UPDATE: Messaging App https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8dcSlY-Ip1-NmZfVmRrOXczUWc
Calendar App https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8dcSlY-Ip1-RUViZzJsNkJUMVU
Let me know if you get Calendar working!
UPDATE 2: I couldn't get the Messaging app to work this time. Not sure if it has anything to do with updating from ZV5 to ZV6...or maybe just that I'm no longer rooted?

I was able to get them installed but unfortunately both crash on launch. Thanks anyway. Maybe somebody else will get it to work and share their process here.
<RANT>I just don't understand why a service provider would choose to remove these apps in the first place. If not for the Google Voice integration I would have ditched Sprint years ago.</RANT>
Installed Calendar and it's working fine for me.

You're not on Sprint (lucky you). For some dumb reason, hardly any of the STOCK LG APPS work on an LG PHONE. Makes perfect sense. I understand the desire for the carrier to make the phone "theirs" or to try to go with a more "vanilla Google" experience, but if I want to install LG apps on an LG phone, that should not be more difficult than rocket surgery.
My turn to rant >>> Unfortunately Sprint has the best coverage where I live and their prices are much better than Verizon's. Next time I'll just get an unlocked device. I would love to just root the phone in order to run stock apps, as I had before, but everytime I do there seems to be a malfunction and my phone ends up bricked (not from installing incompatible ROMs or kernels, I think I just flash the phone too many times?). Not to mention Sprint (and AT&T) has conveniently decided to not make the KDZ/TOT files available to the public. Let's not even mention the ridiculous static boot screen...

Someone in another thread suggested it might be a missing framework. I don't know enough about mobile development to be able to say that he was on the right path or not, but it seems logical to me. It's probably something buried deep in the system that would only be accessible by having root permissions.
I do wonder about the ability to achieve this through a terminal app and changing some permissions as the SystemUI Tuner app does in order to change status bar icons without root. Wish someone would work on that, or I wish I had enough knowledge to do so myself... oh well.

Yeah neither of the apps will work on non rooted phones... You can't add the other files to system without it.... And to be honest the Android messaging app sprint includes is better then the stock lg one...

Serious question: how does the method used by SystemUI Tuner work without root, and why wouldn't this method work for non-rooted phones and stock apps? If you're not familiar, the app requires non-rooted phones to use ADB to send a shell command 'pm grant com.xxx.xxx android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' and 'android.permission.DUMP'. Perhaps there is code in the app itself to trick the system into thinking it has root using these commands?? You would know better than me...
I'm waving the white flag on this, however I am curious to know how that works. I might consider another carrier in the future however. Preferrably one that doesn't cripple stock apps.

There was only one page when you posted... try reading the thread from the start.

So, my reply was relevant and pertinent. And you are wrong.
Have a nice day now
