The new hangouts version finally showed up in the play store.
How do I make it the default texting app and is there any way to import all my messages from the stock text app into hangouts?
I would think go in Stock messaging app and turn off notifications

You won't need to reimport when switching apps. Before 4.4 there is no way to set it as the default system app but you can turn off the notifications in the stock app and next time you do an SMS intent, select Hangouts as the default. That's the best you're going to get for now.

Hi
I am having a very weird problem.
I am using IMO for Instant Messaging and so i removed the TALK app from my Nexus one (running Oxygen Rom) using Titanium backup.
Recently there was an update in TALK app and i wanted to try it (Hangouts) so i installed it from the playstore. It was very slow on my mobile so i removed it again.
Now i am getting Talk notifications (with the old TALK icon) in the notification bar. along with the IMO notifications. When i click on the Talk notifications it does not open any app. and the messages that are notified by TALK are missing in the IMO app so its very frustrating.
So i thought it must be the HANGOUTS app and re installed it from the Play Store. Now i get Hangout notification, Talk notification and IMO notification.
Its very annoying. I removed the Hangouts app from the Application Manager and i still getting the TALK notifications.
Please help me get this Talk Ghost out of my mobile.

That is quite bizarre you could try reinstalling the Hangouts app then wiping its cache and data, then uninstalling it and finally rebooting it. Another suggestion would be provided you don't have Talk/Hangouts app installed as a system app is to boot into recovery and perform a factory reset as well as wiping the data and cache partitions. Also re-flashing your current ROM should fix the problem.

Can you send SMS to new contacts (contacts that you previously haven't SMS'd before) by tapping on their Hangout and changing to send text ? I changed the DPI of my device to Phablet mode and I have to go to the address book in Hangouts to send a text to a new contact.

I don't use Google+ or Hangouts (I only use the SMS part), so I don't have that option.

Hi there.
I want to set Whatsapp as default messaging.
I go to Settings > Wireless & Networking, > default SMS app. It only gives me the choice of Hangouts or Messaging. What gives?
Rooted stock 4.4, Nexus 4.

Whatsapp isnt capable of sending SMS's, it sends its message over data.

I have the same problem with my stock Nexus 4 with KitKat. When accessing non-whatsapp contacts from within whatsapp it defaults to the standard messaging app. There is no way of making it default.
My wife has an old HTC Wildfire running eclair and on that you can set whatsapp as default.

As @Anthropostar said above, whatsapp does not do SMS - it "uses" the phone number to identify contacts but all messages are sent via internet data, not over gsm etc.

Hi, I know whatsapp uses data to send messages but you can't send to non whatsapp contacts in KitKat. You can with older builds. (Sent over data - received over SMS)

Whatsapp was sending over SMS on the wildfire.

As the title says, I'm unable to send any text messages using the default messaging app on moto E. I have my phone rooted. Messaging is a system application. I'm able to recieve messages though. If I change the default messaging app to some other app like hangouts, everything works. I have tried making a backup of the messaging app, uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing works. Also cleared data. When I send a message, it's stuck at "sending...". Check screenshot.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

I would you try switching the default app to hangouts or another messaging app then switch the default back to the stock messaging app and see if that helps.
Is there a way to do this? Google's contact app doesn't appear in the list for the default calling app. And what do I do in adb to uninstall the default contacts app?
I'm on an unrooted S9+, and have been using adb to remove a bunch of bloatware.
Are you talking about this app?

If so then it most likely will not show up as an option for the default calling app.. That's because it's not an actual calling app like Samsung contacts (which seems to bundle the dialer app in it). The Google Contacts app (linked above) is strictly a contact manager/sync app

Oh ok. So if I use adb to uninstall the default contacts app, will Google contacts and the phone app still work?

Considering it's not a bloatware item and it's integration with the existing dialer app I would just leave the contacts app alone. There is no harm in leaving it installed.
I would just install and use the Google Contact's app. If prompted by Google Contacts app to select a dialer app you can choose from what is displayed as options for use.
