[Q] New Hangouts App - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Has anybody had their talk update into hangouts yet? It's listed in play store but it doesn't have an update button because it's a system app.

"NOTE: If you aren't yet able to install Hangouts on your phone or tablet, or the Play Store "Open" button takes you to the old Talk app, hang tight, we are rolling out Hangouts to everyone over the course of several days. Rest assured Hangouts will be available soon for all Android 2.3+ devices, tablets included!" - From Google

Hangouts is pretty much just a Google Talk replacement at the moment. It doesn't unify anything.

Well, it totally screws up the easy way of cross compatible situation that Gtalk provided with XMPP. So many Messengers on various Computer Systems, incl. Android and iOS could connect to a Gtalk account. Now thats all over. What has that to do with unifying ? Sounds more to me like "limiting".
I suppose, since Gtalk was a major part in Android, one that I believe cannot/could not be uninstalled (please correct me if I am wrong here), we can't uninstall Google Hangout now. Right ? Since if it replaces Talk, it must be a part of the System that can't be uninstalled. Or please tell me that its no problem to uninstall it ?
Any info is appreciated.
Thank you.

I don't like the fact that we can't see the online/offline status of the people in our friend lists anymore!

It's no problem to uninstall it. You can uninstall with titanium backup.

Thank you, that worked.
Does anyone know if Google will also disable the Gtalk Servers with the use for Gtalk compatible XMPP apps on for example PC or if that is still running a while ?

I uninstalled it with Titanium Backups. Now its gone. Can I go back to Gtalk again and if, will it next time be automatically updated with Hangouts again since Google wants to get rid of Gtalk ? Does anyone know if Gtalk (in general) still works as for the Servers, so I could use it on a PC with some alternate Messenger.
Any info on that is appreciated.

You can go back to gtalk,put the file back to the path,and reboot
When I updated gtalk to hangouts, PC termination had worked as usual.
I think automatically update of gtalk will be successful next time.

If I understand you correct, I could put in TALK again but next time (or soon) it will be updated automatically to Hangout again, since that is what Google will force on everyone. So there is no point in putting Talk back I suppose. I just hope they keep the XMPP Servers running for Talk to be used on other Systems like PC. So many nice apps that can be used with Gtalk. Pidgin, Miranda etc.

yes, you are right.
I also like XMPP Servers, but talk combine with google+ message, what a pity.
If you're on a computer, go to Google plus page and turn hangouts on, there is a green line under the picture of contacts who are online. My list of contacts that show are just frequently used ones though. I know this isn't the same but maybe it will show up in the app soon.
ya its a great design but really missing the simple facts.
GOOGLE if you're reading this, combine all the servers into one.
it is still called talk and still looks the same, however apparently I already have the hangout update... what can I do? I rebooted my nexus twice and talk is still there.
It doesnt look the same at all actually. Lol. if it looks the Same for you, it hasn't been rolled out to you yet. there is a phandroid article with a link to the app itself and you can just install it manually.

finally, looks completely different. love it.
according to phandroid it will support sms in a future update.
I removed it completely. If I can't have Google Talk, I dont want that Hangout stuff at all. Google totally screwed up something great XMPP cross-platform stuff which no Google+ or Google Hangout can replace. Not everything wants to be done on a phone, tablet or Browser.

There is no talk anymore. All of that is now hangouts. The New Talk app is Hangout if you update it in the play store.

That's not true. You can use one or the other so xmpp is still working on Google's side. I'm interested too because Hangout doesn't show who's online!

Just keep in mind that there are other third party chat apps and they are pretty good too.
where we can find the last version of Gtalk before the change ?
So there is no way to have both?

Samsung ChatOn App no longer working. Anyone else?

Hi, I have two Galaxy S4's. They are model numbers SGH-I337 and SGH-M919V. Recently I was prompted to update ChatOn to version 3.2.137, so I did. Then I got prompted to update ChatOn Voice and Video Chat to version 1.5.0.31. I get two options to update, through Google Play Store or Samsung App Store. When I choose Google Play Store, it says my device is not compatible. When I choose Samsung App Store it says file not found. So basically I am unable to update the voice and video chat feature for ChatOn. This feature was working just fine when I first got the phones. So now when I open ChatOn I am prompted to update Voice And Video Chat, but I decline the update since it won't allow me anyways. But when I decline the update ChatOn closes. So now I am completely unable to use ChatOn all together. I've emailed the ChatOn support and they're totally useless. Based of their response, they don't even know ChatOn and ChatOn Voice and Video come preloaded on my model Galaxy S4's. And this is Samsung's own ChatOn support team. If anyone knows of this problem, any help would be appreciated. If not, then I guess I'll just have to install WhatsApp or BBM. I'd prefer to stick with ChatOn as it's preloaded and it has voice and video chat.
Mine never worked
I stopped trying and started using Google Hangouts. Excellent for chats, group chats and video chats.
+1 for hangouts.

Lollipop Upgrade issues with play service.

Hi
My nexus 10 received the lollipop update last night. Once the upgrade was completed I tried to open up gmail or email where upon I received the following error message:-
Google Play Services, Google play services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device. Please contact the manufacturer!
I then did a quick google which pointed me to APKMirror website. I tried to update the google play service but it's made no difference. In addition to this I can no longer see the google play icon so cannot access or update any new apps.
Has anyone else got this issue?
Thanks
Stan..

No. I flashed lollipop using fastboot (losing all data in the process); this could be an option for you.
Cheers poldie,
I wiped my nexus and put it in recovery mode which sorted it out in the end.
Not happy about doing that but heh it worked.

Google Apps not working properly after Android update

Hi,
I own a LG G2, non rooted, updated my phone through LG PC Suite, from Android 4.4 to 5.02.
The new version, 5.02, has been causing a lot of problems with the google apps.
1) Got message about updating google services when I already had the latest version
FIX: Uninstalled all updates on Play, G+, Gmail and Services, cleared cache and installed them again, stopped receiving the message about update.
2) G+ freezes after some clicking around , loads forever and android system ask if I want to wait or close the app.
3) In-game purchases along with the settings for payment method in Google Play does not work anymore. I tried to remove the payment methods and add them again. When I want to press "OK" button to accept the credit card number or PayPal account the screen just loads and nothing happens, even after several hours.
The new update for my phone seems to have some serious problem with the Google Apps.
Can anyone help me?
Kind regards
Abotiz
