Hey guys,
First time poster, long-time reader
Anyways I hope there will be updates to address the two following issues (or maybe someone here knows a solution)
1. When I get multiple SMS messages, I pull the notification bar down, click the notification, it enters me into one of the hangouts messages but it then marks the rest of the messages as read! The first day or so I didn't even realize it until I scrolled through my messages and noticed a ton of messages that I somehow missed. Then I kept my eye on it. It's basically marking messages as read when they aren't and that is a major problem IMO.
2. I hate that you can't tap the icon of someone in hangouts and pull up their contact information. In "SMS" for Android 4.3 you could always tap icon/picture of someone you are texting and it will pull up their entire contact sheet (email address, work phone numbers, etc). I thought you could do it in 4.4 hangouts by tapping the three dots and going to "People & Options" and then tapping the contact's name...but that doesn't even work! It would way too long of a process anyways but still better than nothing. Point is, if I am texting someone and they, for example, send me their email address I have to get out of the app and search for them in the People app and go through that whole process. Kind of weird they got rid of that simple function.
Anyways that's my rant.
