Has anyone had any issues with multiple sms's being sent while being integrated into hangouts?  I deactivated the hangouts potion of google voice because of the issue.  I haven't noticed a hangouts update, but wanted to see if anyone still using it has the issue still.

 

Clear DATA from hangouts, it fixed some of the issues that I was experiencing.

Remember, Robert moved to western South Dakota and had to terminate his Sprint lines.  He is now with that operator that goes by three letters, A, S, and S -- I might be off by a letter or two.  But t

Google Voice integration on Sprint is a thing of beauty.  Besides MMS, maybe HD Voice, almost nothing is lacking.  The seamless ability to send/receive SMS via SMS or data on the activated handset and

unless you are using your Sprint number as your GV number. there is a known problem. Google has a warning for Sprint users on their own website.

That is what I have been doing since you were able to integrate your Sprint number with Google Voice and it has always worked for me. No issues to report at all.

This has already been discussed, but basically Google botched GV/Hangouts integration for Sprint customers. If you want to avoid problems, integrate your Sprint # into GV, but do not merge Hangouts and GV. You'll still have two separate apps, but everything will work the way it's supposed to. With any luck Google and Sprint are actually working on the issue and we can merge them soon. At the very least they are aware of the problem.

So I have Sprint integration with Google voice and hangouts is merged with Google voice. It works perfectly for me. Here is the key to make it work. First download another texting app like textra. Make it the default messenger. By doing this hangouts no longer handles basic sms messaging. Now for whatever texting app you downloaded turn off notifications from it. Go ahead and integrate your Sprint number with Google voice and from the web interface make sure it doesn't forward calls to your phone. Hopefully hangouts will allow you to integrate with Google voice and then all your texts and calls will go to hangouts. Texts will go over data and so will calls. I found that the cause of the multiple texts to one person was because hangouts was set as the default for normal sms messaging and then when you integrate with Google voice it would also send a text using data over Google voice. Now you can use hangouts for voice and text over data. If you get in a situation where you don't have a good data connection just make a call from the regular dialer or send a text from your other texting app.

With all due respect, that's not "it works perfectly", it's more like "here is a workaround I have settled on that is not too troublesome". Should be enough for a lot of people though, thank you

Yeah I agree it's not perfect. That's why I said it works perfect for me. It meets my needs fine.

hangouts works for me for everything but historical GV data.

Hangouts still won't send MMS with Wi-Fi calling enabled. Textra can do it. I can't figure out for the life of me why. Hangouts can't work.

Even without merged hangouts I could never get mms to work while wifi calling was enabled. This is on a sprintegrated line.

That's what bothers me the most. Google is huge compared to Textra. They managed to make it work.

anyone managed to get hangouts on IOS8 to work right with contacts?

 

it doesn't appear to be pulling the normal google contact list, most of the contact list is shows unknown person, and the hangout messages showing the phone numbers.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
