Hey guys,

For about two days now, ever since I updated my Nexus 5 (running on T-Mobile) to 4.4.3 using the OTA, Google Hangouts is failing to send texts in phases. For one hour or so it'll fail every other text until I resend it, then after that it works for a few hours again perfectly fine, then back to failing some.

I'm going to try using Evolve SMS for a bit to see if it happens there, but something tells me this isn't Hangouts' fault.

I am rooted and have a custom recovery, but it's been that way for months (Before 4.4.3 update) and I doubt would affect it.

Thanks,
David

Try cheating the cache in hangouts. If that doesn't work uninstall it, reboot, and then reinstall it from play store

I'll do that, I just cleared my cache/dalvik too. Unfortunately Hangouts is hardwired into stock so I can only uninstall updates, but if it acts up again I'll try that.

Do you have titanium backup? You can delete from there

I was also having this issue using Chompsms. Reverted back to 4.4.2 and the issue is gone. Also on T-Mobile

I think it was with T-Mo in my area. My friend was on Nexus 5 stock 4.4.2 and having the problem, it's since gone.

Tldr: Issue resolved itself, was likely T-Mobile's side
