Hmmm, then the Google Support document seems to be a bit misleading...
https://support.google.com/androidwear/answer/6056809
Notice the part where it says "if" you're using Hangouts... that would lead me to believe that you can do more with Hangouts, but it does not specify that on the above linked page...

Which app are you using? Hangouts is not the only one that works, there are a few others, but not many.

Yea that's probably not supported. Either switch to one which is (eg Hangouts) or wait and hope for an update which brings compatibility with android wear.
Yeah... thanks
That's bs that an LG G Watch doesn't support the LG messaging app for replies.

It's not the watch or Android Wear's fault. The SMS app has to be updated to work with Android Wear.

Now that there are so much options for push messages in the new facebook app and the messenger was integrated, I thought that the push messages would finally work. But they don't. Is there something I have to set up for it to work?
I mean what the hell is so difficult to make that feature work? I don't get any notifications for new messages, not to mention about any friend requests, likes etc.
Do other apps' push notifications work well for you?

Yes, this problem only exists for the facebook app! The messenger app does work fine though.

Did you ever log into your fb account with a blackberry? Because that seems to activate push notifications somehow.
Check your phones settings. Settings > Accounts & Sync.
Check your push frequency within the Facebook Application. Unsure of where it is. I deleted the application all together. Too much of a battery drain. Good luck

Hi. Can anyone suggest a good alternative for hangouts/gtalk? I still use it a lot as most of my friends are on android and I've seen a couple of apps from the store that says they support gtalk but i prefer to hear some user experience of anyone used those. Thanks

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.

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.
Hangouts always used to work flawlessy. In the past days I am not able to sent pictures. There's only a retry button but it never works. I would be thankful for solutions.
Many thanks

I'd double check the APN settings and if those are correct, then install another app that can send messages and test with that. If that doesn't work, then you might look in many of the texting apps as they will allow you to add your own APN as well to make sure it is Hangouts and not the settings giving you issues.

Thanks, other messenger work fine. And the apn is correct. I just added another Google account, and sending messages with pictures using this account in hangouts works. It seems to have something to do with my account.

Hmm, that's an odd one. Maybe try changing the password on the 1st account so it will force you to sign back in. Maybe that'll be enough to jump start the MMS for that account again.
That worked. Many thanks.

Will there ever be aosp messaging available on the one max? I miss the quick reply so much and I don't like the apps in the app store that do it. I prefer it as a stock messaging app
There will soon no longer an aosp messaging app. Google is forcing a lot of their closed apps on android.

This. It's an AOSP messaging copy. If you really want it to be your stock messaging app, just delete your stock app with a root explorer then set 8sms to "Standalone Mode" in its settings.

I am pretty sure that hangouts is to replace standard messaging app. Don't agree with your opinion you expressed but you have the right to feel that way. Honestly thought ( and it is that way on my gnex) hangouts replaced it.

It is supposed to replace the standard messaging app, but it's not the "new AOSP messaging" app, it's Google's closed source replacement version. There's plenty of articles on it, Google has been replacing open-sourced parts of Android with close-sourced proprietary versions. They have to do it unfortunately, it makes manufacturers rely on Google's services more.
Technically, AOSP messaging is now dead in terms of updates from Google, just like the AOSP launcher.

Ahh. Honestly didn't know that. From what I've heard this is related to Google being more strict with what OEMS can do. Some of what Google is doing is good some is bad. I like how the OEMS will have to adhere a bit more but that point you made is very valid.
