travismheim Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Finally got Lollipop today! Really posses me off that it was more than 3 months after the M8, especially since it is the same phone inside. So far I'm loving it, but testing notifications are weird. using stock messenger app. I thought the text would appear at the top of the screen, but it doesn't. Just the icon in the status bar. Setting I can change somewhere? I haven't tried it on a sense rom yet, but if it's like standard lollipop you can have it show a pop up type notification at the top of the screen briefly but it won't scroll through the notification bar like kit kat.

Guess I'll have to wait for Sense 7 for that [emoji17] In the meantime, I downloaded the Google app "Messenger" and it's great! It obviously has full lollipop functionality, and I can respond to texts without even having to unlock! So awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I didn't care much for it, but it's grown on me. The integration with Google Voice was just a plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I integrate my GV with Hangouts, can I send texts from my computer using the Hangouts app for Chrome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reply to SMS through Hangouts from the lock screen notifications all the time, I'm not sure why it won't let you. Yes you would be able to send/receive sms from any computer using Chrome with the Hangouts extension installed. You can even make or receive calls if you have a headset for your computer.

I have to click on the notification to open Hangouts and send through the app. That is a pretty nice feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically like Facebook Messenger, only easier and less annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
