I don't get why would people use this instead of whatsapp. Same a people won't use Google plus instead of Facebook.

Didn't work on mines either.

I updated with my Nexus 4. Pulled the apk, let me know if it works:

Some users are complaining about that. I think, this problem will be solved in a couple of days

I used aptoide and downloaded the Hangout apk and it replaced Talk and now its working as it should.

I uninstalled talk, and then installed hangout from the play store.

Install it manualy from browser. Not from store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.talk

I can't see the big differences from the old app.
Can you send photos and videos out files with it like whatsapp? I haven't found a way to do it.
Furthermore I can't add a photo to my chat profile without having to add it to Google +.
And my contacts that I have pictures of in my contact book are shown without pictures in the chat since they haven't got a picture on Google+.
So far I am a little bit disappointed with these issues and whatsapp will unfortunately still be a more preferable way for me to send messages for a while longer.

Use Titanium Backup or similar software to remove Talk-app (remember to backup) and then install Hangouts from Google Play. Worked for me!

1)Delete talk with titanium backup
2) Restart device
3) Install hangouts from google play
This only worked for me I hope it help you:good:

well

GO SMS PRO & Photos on the S3

So I hate the stock messaging app. So I went with GO SMS PRO! I love the app. So many useful options! But I am having one small issue. How do I get Facebook photos to show up? In my contacts list they are all merged and it worked with the stock messaging app. Any idea? I have been using it for about a week now and I have yet to figure it out. Minor? Yes! But still very annoying!
Thanks for any advice!
Not one person? Hmm...

Thanks! I will try it tonight. I am guessing you have used this before?
I'm having the same issue with Go SMS...i think its a bug. If we use another program to sync, it will work..but the matching schemes may be different.
fb photos
it has something to do with ICS not sharing different 'account' information or something like that.
There are a few apps, like the one listed above, that pulls in your facebook photos, stores it locally, and assigns those pictures to your contacts list.
There are settings to specify how often you want it to sync photos, whether you want to do it over WiFi only or not, etc.
I have mine set to every 4 days, and only when i'm on WiFi.
Only 'problem' is that it will create duplicate contacts, and then merge those contacts with the ones you currently have on your phone. Just something to know. (at least mine does this)
export contacts out to sd card/sim w/e and import back to gmail
still probably going to have duplicate contacts, if i remember correctly thats how i worked around it.
annoying is hell..thats all I have to say.

How do you feel about Hangouts (GTalk update)?

The update available in the Play Store drastically changes Google Talk. I haven't come around on it yet; feels weird.
How do you like it?

It's better. Just because you can now send pics with the app unlike before with gtalk.

Its tolorable, but can I for gods sake get back the ability to hide my offline contacts and for f***ks sake, the contacts who don't even have a Talk/Hangout/G+ account?
WTF Google? It's just got a huge list of contacts that you cant even contact ?
I miss the status messages.
Cant go invisible
Why are G+ groups mixed in with the contacts? Make it a drop tab or something.
Only thing going for it is the ability to finally send images.

One reason it shows your whole list though is because soon there will be SMS integration, they're preparing for that

Gtalk is quickly dying, and hangouts is not getting any better. Like a few have said the inability to view your online contacts is a really big deal. I have no clue how my landline non data contacts will ever be able to accept my hangout request, why must I be spamed by people I might make a phone call to once a year, I could care less if they are using hangouts. The people I talk to on gtalk enjoy using gtalk for its cross-platform ability and the nice services provided by google, sure we could use another "Instant Messenger" service like we did before Gtalk, do we really want to? looks like decision day is quickly arriving, google just about 100% killed Gtalk on android 4.3.

Facebook Contacts synced photos blurry

Why is it that all my facebook contacts that are synced have blurry images? I thought this was supposed to be fixed with Jellybean?
I thought it was actually the other way around, it always worked up until Jellybean. Either way, you can try "Haxsync" from the play store, with the "Haxsync Jellybean workaround", also from the play store. It worked for me in the past, although i haven't used it lately because, to be honest, i stopped caring.

No I haven't had that issue. Sometimes the app doesn't find some friends but you can click on the person and manually associated them through the app.

I've seen a few reports of people in the Note 3 section having problems with video chat in Hangouts with the new apk besides having mms issues. I haven't had the chance to test the video chat on it to confirm.

No I understood you were taking about MMS with the Note 3.
However, i personally installed to see if the MMS option existed on the note 10.1 and if it did, would it work over WiFi. It isn't even an option.

Use Mighty text and send texts, it will reroute them so it comes from your phone.

This is my current setup as well for sending texts from my pc, but I use mysms. It's always just been a little more reliable for me. Does anybody know if the new hangouts, which does sms on android now, supports/will support this functionality? I installed the new apk on my phone and received my sms through it. But I didn't see any text messages in gmail. I don't have an android tablet (yet) to test the hangouts app there.
For now I have disabled SMS in hangouts again, as it was extremely laggy (especially in a conversation with over 10000 messages. the stock sms app handles that better). I felt mysms was less reliable too.

I was hoping for the same thing. I was hoping that sms and mms would sync with hangouts so that I didn't have to create backups and such.

Finder crashes when Facebook is installed.

Hi All,
I have a Tmobile Note 8 with the stock rom and installed all updates. When I search in the App Drawer for "F" the Finder App crashes. It seems Facebook is the cause of this issue. Immediately when I uninstall it, i'm able to pull up results that contain F. Searching for other characters that is contained in Facebook also crashes the app.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue. This also occurs on my Wife's Note 8.
The Facebook version I have installed is from the Play Store version 157.0.0.38.97. The Finder App version is 7.1.19. Android Version is at 7.1.1.

Thanks for confirming. I also sent the issue to Samsung. Hopefully Facebook/Samsung fixes it soon. I have a few apps beginning with F and looking for it with 50+ apps installed is frustrating.
I have the same problem, when I to disabled Facebook, it goes to the factory version k and the f search works again, but once I re-enable Facebook and try to use it , it ask to update if you want to use the app, which I did and again the problem is back !!!! buy the way it is the same with the K searsh which is resolved at the same time that I disable Facebook. I thought at the beginning that the problem was from Kik app.
Anybody had news from Facebook/Samsung regarding this issue ?
not only when I search item start with word (f) it's also happen with (k) and (b)

I think it happens with any thing the brings up facebook on the first list of apps. Seems like it has something to do with the Facebook icon.
If you for example use A and then on the application section hit view more as soon as you hit where Facebook would be it crashes.
