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"

Hey guys so I will be switching from iPhone 4 which I owned for a year to the galaxy. I have a real quick question I always synced my contact using itunes to GMAIL.com on the startup will I be able to somehow sync those contacts from gmail to the galaxy?
pretty much that is only my one question but if you guys could tell me what apps are useful and so on I would apperciate. Thanks !
Yes
Apps for what specifically? Anything?

Yes, thats the first thing android provides is syncing with GOOGLE services. It syncs contacts from your phone and you wont have to use itunes to update contacts.
It does it automatically

Well the only thing I will miss about the iphone is the keyboard it was jailbroken as well but I won't do that with galaxy. Is there anyway without rooting to install apps that I download to my SD card for example?
and any good keyboard or is the standard one just fine?
Yes, there is a box in settings that, once ticked, will let you install apps from outside sources, like installous, but much easier.
There are 2 keyboards that come with the S2, samsung and swype. The swype one is the best, samsung for some reason put a mic key instead of a comma key, which is stupid!
Personally I keep swapping between SwiftkeyX (in the Market), or 'keyboard from android 2.3' (yea weird name-also in the Market).
Enjoy!

Every time I open the YouTube app, I have to sign in again if I want to access personalised content. This didn't used to be the case, so why is it now? Is anyone else having this trouble?
I'm running the latest stock rom on a rooted S3
Re: [Q] Why do I have to keep signing into YouTube?
Nobody else having a similar issue? I'm also finding the notification sound on the stock sms app keeps getting reset to default. May or may not be related to the YouTube issue.

I have this problem too. I'm using AOKP build 5 and I thought it was my Rom causing the problem.

I'm also having this problem on my Sony Xperia S (Stock ICS).
It's a pain as each time I add something to a playlist I have to tap my only account I have on the phone.

Does anyone find a solution to this issue?
It is very annoying...
This is an app issue, you can try contacting google about it and ask them to implement "Remember Me" feature in next update.
problem solved
Google updated YouTube app today and fixed this issue.
Finally. ..
Yes they did, so I'm marking this solved.

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

hi,
i'm using im + pro for my Google and icq contacts.
you can always go with non-paid version, which has no chat history backup and few things removed.
I also use im+ best alternative app IMHO.

Thanks to all who responded as well

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.
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.
