Hello,
I have a Verizon play and I am getting major lag with the stock SMS app. I tried to restore the phone and nothing seems to fix it. It lags when switching from different text threads, and there is em en a delay when sending a message. Is there a fix for this ?
Thanks.
Delete some threads or try a different sms app
Delete data for messaging app,if that doesnt work reflash the phone

Make sure your auto message delete is set to 50... and when you have a lot of messages (more than a page) and a lot have pics, do a delete all threads and clear them out

maybe you have logined on several client, the hangouts will notify only one time!
I have the same issue across multiple accounts and devices. all unique accounts. all on latest stable software
Galaxy Nexus
Nexus 4
Nexus 10
Same here beyond annoying.
Notification Issues
I noticed that my lack of notifications was only happening with one contact. Everyone else who messaged me would come through just fine, but my wife's messages would come through without a peep. I finally did figure out what was wrong and wanted to share that here in case it helps any of you.
Specifically, although we'd installed and used Hangouts on her Nexus, in the Gmail desktop site, she hadn't click the "Try Hangouts Now" button (left click on your account's picture in the Gmail buddy list). Once I clicked that, all of her messages now resulted in notifications on my devices. Long story short, if you're having issues with notifications, see if the person messaging you is still using "Talk". A bit silly that Google didnt move her account over to Hangouts once she installed the mobile app, but oh well.
Hope this helps.
can I ask a stupid question - is hangouts allowing for text messaging now?

Its supposed to pop up on all of your devices and when you open it on another device it is supposed to clear them in the other devices

I just confirmed that "Hangouts" does allow instant messaging - it does not hit your text messages (but it does hit your data). the other person must also have "hangouts" installed too in order for you to communicate with them via this app

thanks for clearing some things up for certain users! but is anyone else experiencing this problem besides us.
I am experiencing this too, but seem to have noticed a trend. I do get notifications but only on the device that I most recently used to send the message (not both devices like it should). For example at 1 PM, I send a hangout message to another person from my Galaxy S3, they respond at 1:30 PM and it notifies my GS3 but not my Nexus 7. At 1:45 PM I then respond to their previous message from my Nexus 7, and they respond at 2 PM with only my Nexus 7 receiving the notification. Not sure if this is just coincidence but that's what I've noticed so far.
I'm on a Nexus 4 CM 10.1 (initially RC2, now most recent nightly) w/ Nova Launcher running and get no notifications that I've been messaged. In fact, if I chat with someone via Gmail and then check in the hangouts phone app, it will typically not include the chat that was done on my desktop. This is really irritating. Uninstalled updates back to talk for now.

I had same problem with Hangouts, it coming after upgrading to 4.4.4
What I've found on some forums and working for me:
1. Move all hangouts ogg giles from sdcard(emulated)/ ringtones to system/media/audio/ringtones
to do this you have to go to twrp , mount system and use file manager inside twrp
2. Got it working with :
Settings --> Sounds --> Volume --> Volumes --> Uncheck "Link ringtone and notification volumes".
Then an additional choice appears for the Notifications.
After that I started to get the sounds when notifications arrived. I rechecked the "Link ringtone and notifications" and the volume still worked.
Seems like something that needed to be initialized once.

will this work with 4.3?
it works htc one! this is badass!! thanks m8
It works ok for me but force closes when I send MMS, on a Galaxy Note 3 on 4.3
If anyone has a workaround for the crash please share
They did a lousy job with this new version. There should be a clear distinction between Hangouts and SMS/MMS messaging, and there isn't. They have them all in a gigantic list.
Having a tiny little label for SMS is a terrible way to do this.
Works great on my gs4 tmo

Hangouts V2 works great on my Note 2 running Pac-man 4.3.1. MMS works no FC's only thing is does it only send SMS to a contact that has hangouts installed too? My understanding was it would send to both sorta like iMessage?
works nice on nexus 4, only wish it had an option to customize colors of incoming and outgoing messages
I agree with many people, the Hangouts / SMS integration is a let down Many of us thought it would be similar to the iMessage integration and that was exciting.. Also, let's hope it's faster on the N5 than on my N4. It takes quite awhile to open.. :silly: Google has a long way to go with this app, but let's just hope it gets better soon Enjoying the new SMS UI anyway haha :highfive:

So wait a minute? The Hangouts/SMS integration isn't the same as the iMessage?
Can the Hangouts handle the SMS over data/wifi?

No, basically it's just a merge of the SMS / Hangouts app. There are 2 separate conversation lists for your SMS and your Hangout messages =\
I don't believe so. Anything over data / WiFi would just be a Hangouts message.
Works fine on Sprint HTC One...however, it doesnt notify me of messages. No sound, no vibrate, no notification icon........which kind of defeats the purpose of the app since it disables the stock messengers notifications.

Wow, big disappointment.
Are the hangouts SMSs get saved to google servers automatically and can be restored?

Any of you guys using MightyText to text from a computer on the G2?
Coming from my S3 this is the only thing that is giving me problems. I do alot of texting off my computer, and can't get it working properly no matter what I do. The MightyText web app can send and receives text but text sent from the phone do not show up, and text from the web app do not show up on the phone. I'm using the stock messaging app right now, but have also tried Textra (Which i would most rather use) and bought Sliding Messaging (Which sucked and ran extremely bad on my phone, 2 bucks down the drain. )
None of them worked right.
Anyone also having these issues?
Data and cache wipes of mightytext app, and even a uninstall did nothing to help.
Thanks for any help!

No one?! I'm thinking I may have caused it from clearing google play services recently. Could this have caused it and what can I do to revert it?

Yea, I reached out to MightyText customer support and got no help either.
They replied "So this did not happen with your Samsung but does with the LG?"
and that was the end of it. Unfortunate because I really got used to this service.

Exact same thing happened to me. I emailed Mightytext and they said to unlink the phone from the phone app, sometimes it works, sometimes doesn't. BTW I was using the stock ROM and not I'm on Cyanogen 4.4 so we'll see.
BUMP
Bringing this question back up to see if anyone has found anything to fix this problem.
OR also if there is anything that can substitute MightyText. I really like SnaPea, but it does not work with tablets.
I want something that syncs between a phone, Nexus 7 tablet, and a computer seamlessly.
BUMP
Mightytext was working for me and suddenly just quite. Nothing was changed and I find it really odd. Anyone find a solution? Like the others, sms and mms can be received, but nothing can be sent from the web app or tablet. I have tried the recommended toubleshooting, to no avail.
Still not working - anybody found an alternative that works?
I gave up on Mighty text as well, I'm hoping that pushbullet will add the feature at some point
Just want to add that I've given up on mightytext and am happily using MySMS
Hi,
I restored 16k messages with SMS Backup and Restore. Everything went pretty OK.
In one thread I have more than 7k SMS messages. Others - smaller.
Is it normal that stock SMS app can't handle that big amount of messages (7k+) without lag in one thread?
I had absolutely no problem or lag with my 3Yr old Galaxy Nexus.
Switched to Hangout and no problems or lag there. But still would like to use stock SMS app.
Any ideas?
Agree
I am having the same problem with my S4. Seems like i am not getting twitter or facebook sms for a long period of time. How can we boost the speed?
Me too. Restored 23k of messages.
It is only slow when in a thread trying to go back to the main list. Otherwise it is ok.
Honestly you're asking for trouble leaving all the messages on the phone. I had a Samsung Infuse and kept tons of messages on it. One day I stopped receiving messages. After I deleted all my messages, I started receiving them again smh
Why not use Hangouts? Any reason for the preference to the stock app? I cannot go back since it does not look that great (UI)...
Also, I am curious to know why you need to track so many text messages... I delete them on a weekly basis.
Messaging should be fast. Hangout requires 1-2 taps more than stock app to do same tasks.

agree, I like keep my messages too but I upload them to my gmail using SMS backup+
it's much easier to navigate that way too

Hey, don't judge how people choose to use their phones. Some want all their messages stored, some erase some of them, some erase all of them. It's nobody's business why and certainly sanity is not assessed by the amount of SMS on your phone.

I just don't delete them.
I also don't delete emails in my Gmail account since the start of the Gmail service. Beacuse Google said "you will never need to delete your email". I don't delete my corporate emails as well. I applied the same to text messages. It worked so far: my previous phone (Galaxy Nexus) handled without problems. Today in Note 4 - only Hangout app handles them without a lag.
Absolutely no intentions of future revenge or smth.

Email is different. It not load all in your device.
SMS wise is not, you need full load. Without delete it just equal to find trouble itself.

What is it about the stock app that you prefer? I was using mysms for a while between note 4 and tab 4 and then switched back to the stock Messages app and the lag was a bit much for me. Conversations taking 5-10 seconds to load, I had to wait to start typing for a few seconds otherwise I would get a crazy mix of the first few words, etc. There are several alternatives in the play store though, I'm currently trying out textra and haven't had any issues, lag or otherwise.
Now I use Messenger from Google
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging
Better than both stock and hangouts.
