Hypeo Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanK_ Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I'll say its broken. I cannot stop sending messages and now that I removed Google Voice, I don't get messages from anyone, but I do on my Tablet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhammett Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Integrate. Install Hangouts. Use Hangouts and nothing else. Done. It's not that complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeitupmo Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeitupmo Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 that makes you special. ☺ don't assume everyone else is fine, just because you haven't had any issues. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david279 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 No issues here as well. I use my Google voice number as my main number, I never give out my sprint number. It's never seen. Also sprint intergration is turned off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modplan Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 No issues here either. Integrated my Sprint # with Google Voice years ago, switched to hangouts when I got the prompt. Everything works PERFECT, couldnt be happier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhammett Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I think a lot of the issues are due to people trying to do things that you are not supposed to do. Example: sending text messages from other apps instead of just using the Hangouts app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrbelex Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darn18 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Anybody else have hangouts crashing all the time the last couple of days? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk i'm having this same issue..

Eric Phipps Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the key to make it work... 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollixx Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 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.

dedub Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 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.
