It's partly how their "Cloud to device messaging" system worked back in the day, similar to "push notifications", only on steroids. It's basically Jabber (XMPP). It evolved and became "Hangouts" which includes a few other nifty features that you don't get with standard XMPP / Jabber, and in their latest release they've also included SMS support so you can either SMS somebody or send them a Hangout message (Similar to iMessage, except you're not *forced* to iMessage somebody). Hangouts are basically included with pretty much every single Android device that has the Play Store (So there's some 800,000+ at last count?), though if you've not updated your device it may be still labelled "Talk" until you update the app via the Play Store. |

| 1360762 | 2013-11-26 19:30:00 | Shouldn't be? I call BS... My wife is on Telecom and has sent / received on her N4 just fine. Granted last tested on Jellybean-4.3, but still? :-/ Crashing how? I'm very curious coz I've never seen Hangouts crash. Official firmware from Google, or is it one of the ParanoidAndroid or similar builds? Crashing by saying "Hangouts has stopped. OK" I had to remove the last hangouts updated to turn it off and go back to old default SMS app. Have a look at a GZ thread about the N4 and MMS on Telecom.. |
