[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Babygirl613:
So I wouldn't be able to downgrade my modem either, correct? I have seen posts about the RegionLockAway app, i have it installed & I'm also rooted. Wasn't sure of the proper steps to take so I haven't tried that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] audit13:
I'm not sure if the i337 modem can be downgraded or whether regionlockaway would work on the downgraded modem.

Personally, I would not take a chance on bricking the phone and buy an unlock code if possible.

Hi All,

I'm kinda desperate hence this thread.

Does anyone know where I can get an internationally unlocked i9505 from within the USA (online order will also do as long as the website is genuine)? Need this information quickly as I have a friend coming from the US to India in a week and is not able to find one of these in the stores?

Any help is very much appreciated!

[Android Apps and Games] tp2215:
So I have been trying out all the services again, even the ones that I dont use. Update to Google music is great and hangouts is awsome. I have been using Dropbox for ages and just tired the new Google Photos which is great, here is my issue that I dont get. Have you ever realized that if you use Google photos, you can not auto update from the Windows desktop. You can setup Google drive to update your photos but then I cant auto update from my Android phone. Wierd huh? That is why I have to stick to dropbox. I also find it really annoying that in Google Photos you still cant have folder within folders, that make it pretty much impossible to organize them properly.

This is BS... Why not at least give us the option to use video chat over cellular? I sure hope too that a work around is found.

Just install the latest Google services framework and clear the data for it

Is it not supposed to be the artist photo instead of the headphones guy here??
[Android Apps and Games] tp2215:
Im just curious why? As of right now, its pretty much EXACTLY the same as Google Talk with some animations added and ui update, thats all.
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Yes, but it doesn't look like it's able to locate it. I have a couple of albums that's also missing artist art. Clear cache and try again.

[Android Apps and Games] spiderio:
thank you very much

I'm on the country that never gets google music

thanks for sharing
[Android Apps and Games] :
Worked! Thank you so much!
[Android Apps and Games] Cauchon:
This happened to me too. I went into Titanium Backup, deleted Google Talk, then downloaded Hangouts.

In general, I am not impressed with Hangouts. There doesn't seem to be a way to see who is online, away, and offline (or am I missing it?). Instead it just lists all contacts, most of which who don't use Google+ regularly. I want real instant messaging back.
[Android Apps and Games] pepeg83:
i just downloaded the google play services and the hangout apk from the OP and I was able to do a hangout from my (old school) tablet!!!
[Android Apps and Games] mhdsanto85:
Same in Wi-Fi...
[Android Apps and Games] KidCarter93:
Not really. GTalk had a ton of contacts from XDA on there and some who I know personally. On Hangouts, all that shows are those who are in my circles and those in my contacts (NOT those who I had on GTalk).

Unless I missed an option where I can add contacts from GTalk onto Hangouts :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
You can still use it as a regular music player. Or you can get Play Music with the free 20k song upload and streaming of you own music, but not All Access, by registering through a proxy.
[Android Apps and Games] drewfinkel:
I saw this and thought to myself, "wow, thats why I did. go me....Wow... and I agree with what this person has to say about the hangouts app."

Your welcome! haha...HI JUSTIN
[Android Apps and Games] spiderio:
thanks I will try to google the tutorial to register play music through proxy
[Android Apps and Games] ttxcsabby:
Well I have google talk contacts that do not have a google+. Those contacts didnt transfer over. The only way I can talk to them is if they message me first.

Also, why does it give me options to send circles messages? I have a photography circle that is completely pointless to message. I think google needs to clean it up a bit
[Android Apps and Games] chinkster:
I can't delete Google talk be cause I have a droid razr maxx and I think when update time comes around I need the original apps in my phone or else it won't update correctly. However I will rename it .bak and download hangouts just to check it out...
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
Exactly my thoughts! I wish they would allow us to swipe once more to the next say "panel" and see a list of people that are online.

Just having my contacts is useless. Can I start a voice or video chat with someone that is in my contacts but using hotmail / outlook?
[Android Apps and Games] Gonik:
That's exactly Google's goal. To force people who are not already on G+ to register.

But the effort so far is absolutely awful. As many other stated, there is no Online-status indicator. Also you should be able to remove contacts from the list, since (at least in my list) it displays completely random contacts who doesn't even have Gmail and G+ account and nor they will ever.

It need waaaaay more work!
[Android Apps and Games] MarcelBo:
Does anybody have artist images? I only habe the grey icon, i tried the deleting cache method, but it doesn't solve it.

Maybe it's country based? Or does that not work with the music which is only stored on my phone?
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
nooo wayy!!

My local ingress group used a xmpp server for groupchat.

hangouts doesn't support xmpp anymore! oh ****.. Now we all have to install an additional app to use our groupchat. Well that sucks bigtime.

FYI: We need a server like that to make nicknames we use in ingress and manage all members. hangouts groups do not have that!
[Android Apps and Games] rancid2000:
I'm in France, and I do get those artists images.

But it doesn't work properly; most of these images are wrong, missing or do not match the right artist...

And I really hate having an artist picture showing the ugly faces of the guys in the bands I listen to :(

To me it's the main drawback of this update (well.. and that moving cover too is annoying, but I can get along with that).

It definitely needs some improvements!
[Android Apps and Games] raist1976:
I'm wondering if they are using a staged delivery on the new version and if that new process is not maybe a little buggy, ie showing in the market but not allowing us to get it ...

When I tried to force install it through play store in google chrome, I was getting twice notifications for each messages (one as gtalk which would disapear when I clicked on it and ont as hangouts)...

I think it's best to wait a little that they fix the problems...

As always, I'm amazed at how they don't test their release ...

Does anyone know if Google killed the QR Code Scanning( and image search) inside the Google Search app?

I used to say "scan barcode" or tap on the menu and then "search with camera". Now they are both gone.

It was useful not having to install an additional app for this :silly:

Also, could anyone post the previous version?

Hello,

I can't connect to the new services of Google Play Games with any games, I tried SuperStickMan Golf 2 and some more and all are left with a white screen (loading) until the sign in fails ("unknown error").

I have Hangouts running (that use Google Play Services) and a Google+ account linked to the google phone account.

Have a International Galaxy Note 2 with Android Revolution v17.

Anyone else with this problem?

So is the end of Google Talk? I hate the new Hangouts. It's cluttered, slow and resource hungry. GTalk was amazingly simply and effective. I removed Hangouts and installed GTalk back, disabled auto-update, but I'm wondering will Google allow us to keep the regular Talk or kill it of completely?

This new app is horrible IMO.

If you're on a computer, go to Google plus page and turn hangouts on, there is a green line under the picture of contacts who are online. My list of contacts that show are just frequently used ones though. I know this isn't the same but maybe it will show up in the app soon.

[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:

[Android Apps and Games] Ekofasc:
I don't see why everyone wants to have a list of contacts that are "online". Your contact has the app open or not, either way you "text" them and it'll be delivered to their phone, just like sms. It doesn't matter if they're "online" (have the app open?) or not. If you're chatting back and forth with someone, you can tell from the little icon if they're viewing the conversation currently or not, and that's all you really need. I hope they don't add a list like that, it defeats the feeling of this being a texting app rather than a 90's chatting program. SMS support is coming btw ( http://phandroid.com/2013/05/16/google-hangouts-sms ), and having a list of online contacts feels even more out of place then.

[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
The thing is, it does show who's online. Those who are online have a normal avatar, those who aren't are slightly greyed out. I don't see what people are complaining about
[Android Apps and Games] crimsonedge03:
I downloaded and installed the apk for Google Play Services and hangouts. But every time I launch hangouts I get an error saying “Google Play services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device. Contact the manufacturer for assistance. "

I also get a message in the notification bar which asks me to update google play services to use hangouts

I've tried clearing data for Google Play Services as well as Google play framework, but still no luck.

I'm using an HTC Sensation with a custom ICS ROM.

You need to remove old gtalk if updating manually.

I was having this issue too. I uninstalled Google Play Store using Titanium backup, and made sure to clear all data. Then I downloaded an APK for Google Play Store from here, installed it, and also installed the APK for Google Play Services that's attached in the OP. Rebooted my phone, and it worked :)

And I'm running ICS btw. So it's definitely not an issue with the Android version.

[Android Apps and Games] geemaan:

[Android Apps and Games] bray424:
THAT'S the easy part, check your system partition, Talk is still there (and as far as I know, has never used Play Store to update), Hangouts just blocks it from running. It would probably be as simple as just renaming the talk package name.

Sent from my MB855
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
No, that's how it works. When you update any system app it leaves the original in the system, hence how you can uninstall updates. What you can easily do is change the package name of the original talk and install it alongside Hangouts

Anyone else having problems with the Google Play Music app after updating?

It crashes immediately on my stock Verizon Xperia Play.

I run fix permissions, reboot, nothing. Clear Dalvik cache, nothing. Uninstall, reinstall, nothing. Even tried converting to a user app, moving to the SD card, nothing works.

It'll boot up, show a "Force Close" dialog, continue to boot into the setup, and when I tap through the buttons, and finally press "Done" it crashes back to my launcher.

Good thing I still have a backup of the older version, but I'd like to use this new look, I like it.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
There's people with the Play in the play store reviews complaining the same. I assume Google know about it now
[Android Apps and Games] sethfoxen:
I've noticed that, but I was hoping that maybe I just wasn't doing something right, but I guess it seems to be a real problem.

But I have another play here, unlocked, with CM 7.2, from AT&T, and I updated it, and the app works perfectly. Is it just Verizon Plays?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Possibly, I can't say anymore, only Google would know
