I'm uneasy that they didn't integrate Voice into Hangouts. Ironically, they DID do it on Hangouts for iOS .


Pretty annoying since I went all-in and ported my number to Google Voice

Just got the update to Hangouts that allows for SMS.

There's a really noticeable delay in sending and receiving messages through the Hangouts app. Hopefully that gets fixed soon. Otherwise, I dig the integration.

I didn't notice any delay, but I also have only used it once or twice. I'll use it more when they finally integrate Google Voice

Looks like I have to switch back to the old Messaging app.

Hangouts is overriding the Visual Voicemail app on my phone. So I don't get voicemail notifications, I get an SMS that tells me to call a number to retrieve my messages. A little research shows that there's no fix right now and that I'll just have to wait. Apparently Hangouts intercepts a message that Visual Voicemail needs. And since Visual Voicemail isn't getting that message, VV won't work with Hangouts.

Gay.

Perhaps it just fucks with the stock visual voicemail application? I don't use You Mail. But might look into it. I really like the SMS integration into Hangouts. But I had to stop because I was just getting really fucked up texts telling me I had a voicemail instead of actually getting a voicemail.
