Hangouts (replaces Talk) - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I can find it in Play Store, it says installed, when I open it it just opens Talk.
Has anyone got it working yet? If so, how?

I downloaded it thru the web store and it pushes and works just fine

Same thing happens to me. Not only on my gnex(using CM10.1) but also on my note 10.1. I've tried to disable/reboot but nothing seems to work.

Same issue here. Can someone attach the .apk?

Try using titanium backup, or root explorer to delete talk from system/app, reboot and then download and install. If that doesn't work here's the apkhttps://copy.com/Ue2Qj

Apk worked. Thanks! I don't like deleting anything from system if I don't have to. Usually have update issues down the road if I do.

best way to install it is ! install titanium backup > uninstall the stock google talk and then go to play store and install the new one works awesome
my convo with @Misledz on hangout

Greetings people! Newbie here
Anyone having issues with video calls?
I followed the titanium backup method to install the app and now video calls go through both Hangouts AND Google+ app as well.

@gizmo9002 It seems that the video calls can only go through on the WiFi and not over cellular right now... Try using it over WiFi to confirm.

So there is no way to see which contacts are online using this right?

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.

Strangely, no contacts show in my G+ hangouts sidebar either. Maybe it isnt implemented in my country or something. Because I removed the talk app from system and downloaded hangouts....

Mine comes and goes. If I log off hangouts and close g+ and wait a couple minutes usually the contacts show up after I go back into it.

Well its just been a day it rolled out. Hopefully all this will get ironed out eventually. Till then, i'm back to talk

I like it but i am stressing because I don't know when persons are online or not

It doesn't show status messages, status, nor does it allow you to set either one. This is a terrible step back from Google Talk. Not to mention it forcibly lumps all of your Google+ contacts in with your GTalk contacts.
That doesn't help me. I don't talk to those people. I use GTalk to talk to a select few people who have limited SMS per month and one person who uses a tablet with mobile data and a dumbphone.
Google really dropped the ball with this pile of junk app. The new iteration of the Music app isn't any better. They've been cocking everything up since the horrid 4.2 lockscreen abomination.

I even don't find google music option in Accounts & Sync settings.
The Google+ link no longer works.
Here is a few mirrors.
When you initially start up the music app it asks for permission to presumably connect with google servers and sync your music, but it didn't work. And like a few others said, there are no options to sync anything in the menu.
Music app works fine for me, though it never asked me for permission for anything. All my cloud based music played though. Google+ is hung up at Signing in...
Not working at all for me. I uninstalled all previous versions of google music, and I try running the new apk everything looks good but says "application not installed". Running 2.3.6 any ideas folks?

Music 4.0 needs to be push to system/app to get sync option back on menu
Also need to remove old version
I deleted market Music, installed new version, wiped data on applications menu then new music worked fine, synced everything.
Same with Google+, uninstalled current, installed new, didn't need to clear data/cache for it, and signed into the new app, works great.

This did not work for me at all. Didn't even recognize that I pushed it to system/app
Going back to the old one I guess
Edit: now I can't figure out how to remove it from /system. I did searches in supermanager for it, rebooted, tried to reinstall the market app; all that said was package file signed incorrectly. So basically it's a big mess now.
I would recommend NOT, NOT pushing this to system/app
Also, for Google Plus if you push it int System/App it'll work.

Its a good start. Needs some improvements Im gonna keep an eye on it. Would like to see the ability to send messages from widget instead of launching talk. Also its crashing alot on me on axium 2.4. Sent a report
https://market.android.com/details?...UwMSwiZGUuRnI0Z2cwci5UYWxrV2lkZ2V0LmxpZ2h0Il0.
Wow, thought one would never come. Considering I use Gtalk almost religiously, it's fantastic that there's finally a widget of some sort for it. I've always wondered why something like Gtalk didn't have more support for it.
This app is a good start but like others have mentioned, sending messages from the widget itself would be awesome.
nice find. works fairly well, it just needs the interface cleaned up a bit
I would also like to see the ability to only show active chats. Its definitely a work in progress bi just really hope this gets the attention it deserves
Thanks! Works pretty well.

Thanks for the tip, it worked and the widget did download and install now. But now I can not use the widget. I go between a Sense ROM(Android 4.0.3 and Sense 3.6) and a CMX ROM(Android4.1.1) and the Sense ROM is the one I had trouble installing the widget on. On the Sense ROM the widget showed up once in my list of widgets and put the widget on my home screen. But it just opens up to the settings for the widget, and it does the same when I open the widget in the app tray. So I removed it from my home screen and now it does not show in my list of widgets but it is in my app tray still. I will be testing it on my CMX ROM later today and will post back with feed back on it as well.
Edit: I just now realized this thread is in the Galaxy Nexus Themes and Apps forum. I have a HTC Sensation but I found this thread by google search for a G Talk Widget.
Has this been removed from the market?
Is an apk still available?
TIA

Open apps using Google now

As a general rule, Google voice actions doesn't launch apps. It'll launch the dialer, messages, maps, navigation, the browser and some of those basic things.
There's a thread somewhere about the nexus 7 tablet manual that is free thru google play books that has a section with all the commands for the now search app. I don't have the link available.
It would suck if Google limited now's ability to Google's own apps. That's the worst thing about its retarded cousin, siri

I've got the same problem. Everytime I ask something (e.g. call xxxx, play song xxxx, what's the Yankee's score), it'll go to the browser. I went through all the settings and can't find anything.
If I remember correctly, launching Play Music via Google Now only works if you're in the US and the music is uploaded to the cloud.

Instead of 'play', have you tried to ask: 'listen to' --- [artist] or [song title]? It works for me. It should even ask you to choose between Google Music, YouTube, and any other music app you already have installed (like Rdio, Jango, Slacker, etc).
Also, make sure you've followed this guide on how to set up Google Now:

Same thing happens, Now will show the "link" to Google Music, but then the browser automatically opens up over it ... It also happens when I try "call xxx", the contacts open up (because of multiple phones for this person), but then almost immediately, a browser opens showing the Google results ...
There's gotta be a setting somewhere to disable auto browser results ....
If I say, "Text Melissa -text here-" it works. But if I say "Text Mom -text here-" it won't. I have to say "Send text to Mom" for it to send a text. Same with calling. So my suggestion is to play around with the wording.
Change your settings to 'always search from Google.com instead of your local domain.' Then it'll work. I'm in india, did this, and then it started showing cards/doing actual voice actions.

Google Now can open apps. First you must say (Open app) then say the name of the app that you want open.

Go to settings>phone search and untick the browser setting. That should sort it.
You don't have to uncheck browser in settings. You can launch application by saying "launch [app name]".
Maybe you have to change both system language and voice input language to English(US).
I'm able to play music too even I'm outside US.

More info about Google Now
Ok, the option to listen to music works, but it will give you the option to listen to songs that you have stored in your phone with the default music application, it's not like it'll stream music from the web so use it confidently. Also, following all the set up instructions for Google Now exposed in a previous post helps a lot. A personal note: I would say that Google Now works pretty much better with searches on the web and in my experience S-Voice on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S3) works better with the phone's applications. Basically both of them are good, but each one has a strength tha the other does not. Hope it helps as the thread of this post helped me.

yeah, that is a known issue from where it was originally pulled from.
also, my camera shortcut doesn't seem to work.
and, wasn't sure if this was only a HTC first thing or what, but i dont get a pop up notification (not the chat head things) for any notifications like Gmail or calendar. I remember seeing that in the presser, but think it might be a facebook home optimized device exclusive thing.
working pretty good on my phone. I am impressed with facebook's implementation here though.
if i didn't absolutely Despise facebook, i would probably use it. if there was a G+ home, i would probably be all over it.

yes and no. if you try opening an app with password/pattern lock, it will prompt you to put it in. but someone can see all your stuff without doing anything.

I like how the OP posting about a Facebook leak is using Tom's profile picture from MySpace as an avatar, lol.
Downloading now, but from the looks of it, it doesn't work anymore? Also can I install just the Facebook apk? No home launcher,etc?
yes, the FB app will work fine.
but looks like they killed the FB home feed functionality. TechCrunch reported on it. not surprising i guess.
I was still able to use the home screen and shortcuts and stuff, but no fee was in the background or anything...just a black screen.
OK never mind then. I'll just wait. Looks like it's going to available from Google play on the 12th.

Being rooted, I deleted Talk and then installed Hangouts. It works for a short time and then I start seeing a message that says it can't reach Google. Not sure what that's about. I also kept getting a Talk and Hangouts notification every time I got a message and I wasn't allowed to clear the Talk one.
In other news, I manually placed it on my Note 10.1 and it has worked flawlessly...

You're better off with Talk and G+. Hangouts doesn't even have online/busy/not-online status, which has been a fundamental piece of online chat since....I dunno....AOL AIM?
I played with the "update for all of 30 minutes before I reflashed my ROM. Hangouts is currently not even a feature-complete AIM replacement. It is pretty, but that is about the only thing it has going for it over what it is supposed to replace.

If the contacts picture is faded then they're not online, if it's clear then they're online, I prefer this much better than a green dot over my contacts picture! Welcome to 2013

What is the difference between online (green in Talk) and offline (gray), busy/do-not-disturb (red) or away (yellow)?
What is when one does not have any picture?
How do I see the list of my Talk-/Hangout-capable contacts? I have about 10 such persons in Google Talk, but suddenly 20 more in the Hangouts list.
Sorry guys but it's really crap.
I've deinstalled it.

You're calling it crap without bothering to trying to learn the app?...if they weren't capable of chatting I'm sure they wouldn't be on the list

WRONG!
Some of them only use google account to activate the android phone and to use the app (play) store, they do not use GMail nor Talk or Hangups. At least one is only using iPhone and iMac. I used to talk to him once. He never starts Talk or Hangups since them. They are all on the long long list... Why?? How do I remove them easily?
And: how do I signalize that I am busy and may not be disturbed ("busy" = red)? How can I see that someone is away (Android phone online but screen is off: yellow/orange)?
Sorry but is is crap, CRAP *CRAP*, not an upgrade!
Bask to Talk ... and happy again!
I have the update.. But didn't take it.. I like my inverted talk better

I'm in the camp that says it's the biggest piece of crap google has put out in a long time. While I think the name itself is lame as hell. My main issues in order are...
1. All of your contacts are added whether you want them there or not. Face it, I don't want every contact in my address book in my hangout. There is no way to remove the unwanted contacts from the list without blocking them (which also blocks them from your google+. Now I have 200+ names in my hangout. Wheres that stupid sign that we can hang around google's neck.
2. I have 2 separate accounts one for just my family and the other for my xda friends. There is no real way to separate these accounts all the contacts for each are merged together. Again, where's that sign?
3. While it does show when you are online or offline it doesn't give you to option of being away or busy.
There or more but these are my top 3.
It's really a huge step backward from talk.
