Go to settings - > app and uninstall hangout. It will bring talk back. It worked for me.. in my Note 2.

Thanks,

Thanks, this worked for me. I tried using Hangouts for a few days but found it lacking in some areas (mainly I wasn't able to easily locate who was online/offline/away). Talk just seems a lot more user friendly as it's much simpler.

I would like Hangouts to disapeer from my installed aps on Play store. How can I do it?
Master plan is Talk to have and no leave no room for possible updates.

My 4.2.2 rom came with hangouts already installed so uninstalling updates wont put Talk back on.
Anyone know how i can get Talk on my device?

I noticed there was an update to the Hangouts app on September 30. I'm still using talk because when I tried hangouts when it first came out it was very difficult to use. Has anyone downloaded the updated hangouts app? According to some comments I read, you now have the ability to see who is online. Has the new update improved the functionality?

I still can't tell who's online, but for the moment I'm rolling with it because I'm tired of reverting to Talk with every nightly I flash.

The latest version (released 9/30) makes it very easy to see who is online.


is it still slow by the way?

It's much quicker now. When you first boot (or if you kill the app) it still takes a second to open Hangouts, but returning to the app doesn't reload it every time like it did on the last version. It also seems much faster when moving between hangouts/opening a new hangout.
