Google Hangouts not saving settings! - T-Mobile HTC One (M7)

Hello guys
I'm having an issue with the HTC messaging app. It keeps forgetting the contact images on the threads.
It appears there's no fix so I decided to use Hangouts. Hangouts doesn't seem to be working right either.
When ever I want to send a photo message. It prompts me with what app do I wanna use to find a media. I choose "always" on Photo or Gallery and proceed to send the photo. Then when I wanna do it again it forgot what I had set as default before and prompts me with it again.
Any way to fix that?

1. Is hangouts fully updated?
2. Are you using a custom ROM?

Yes and no. I'm using stock ROM and the app is running the latest version that's available to me via the Play Store.

Try disabling auto updates in Google Play and then downgrade to hangouts v2.4.78234730 . It seems that the new upgrade is losing settings. See productforums.google.com/d/msg/hangouts/OVWO3hrglNo/n5EB8R4s78kJ for instructions on how to downgrade Hangouts. You can ignore the stuff on dialer, probably.
I'm not sure if you are having the same issue since they are different settings but it could be related. Perhaps the new app is losing everything.

Oh hey we can actually close this. It no longer relevant.

contact ringtones

Has anyone else had an issue with setting contact ringtones? I set them to a downloaded tone and I still get the default one. They quit working after I rooted but really dought it has to do with that. I have installed other apps that I did not have on pre root. Any ideas would be great.

Did you sync your contacts from Google contacts or outlook contacts?
Google, I just downloaded and app that manages ringtones and profiles. And now everything works as it should. Weird, will look onto it more when I re-flash a new Rom.

Great. Glad you got it to work.
The reason I asked if your contacts were from Google or Outlook was because Google contacts doesn't allow you to add ringtones through the "normal" route. You have to use a third party app. Just curious, which one did you download?
WhoIsIt, great app also allows for profiles based on time of day.

[Q] Change People.apk in CM 10.2

Hi there
I really hate the stock people.apk that comes with CM 10.2, and I was wondering if it's possible to switch it to something else as defaults contacts editor.. Even the stock samsung app is a lot better..
Thank you!
Yes, loads of contacts app on the play store

Yes, but I mean one that would replace people as the default one, since the other contacts apps seem to direct you to people.apk when you want to edit contact details
There's nothing to replace it. Not all contacts apps "direct you"

Anybody tried the new KitKat apk's?

Well the launcher is pretty laggy for. E, but everything else I've tried seems to work fine. US Wifi only model, not rooted, if that helps anyone

Actually there is both an "email" and "gmail" download available from the system dump of a nexus 5 (not a Samsung device). I was clarifying that he was referring to email and not gmail

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.

MMS does not work for sure. I don't know if it is even an option to begin with on this tablet (being WiFi only) but it dies not work on my S4. I haven't tried video chat on either

I'm sorry for the confusion with what i said in my post...I wasn't stating that there is an MMS option when in installed on the 10.1. I was just merely stating that there are a few issues with the app in general right now.

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.

[Q] Stock Google email apk

Is there anywhere I can get the stock email app from Google that gets updated with any frequency?
I found one that is the initial Kit Kat version but nothing newer, and with all the updates that the gmail app has gotten I'm sure the email app has gotten at least one.
Thanks in advance.

The Email.apk does not get updated near as much as Gmail. I think the latest version should be:
4.4.2 -f71429d610
The only version I see is when i hit submit feedback and it's listed as v6.0-893803

I think the other # is how it displays in Titanium Backup. Had a friend look for me since I do not use the app and never have. But yea, 6.0 is the newest with the newer UI with the sliding menus and what not. Don't think it's been updated in months.
OK, thank you for the assistance

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.

Phew, I'm glad I'm not alone in this. Albeit, for reference, I'm using a European S8, and the same problem exists here. Tidbits, did Samsung acknowledge the issue? Can WE report the issue in any way?
