True but I can't root this particular phone.

I'm also noticing Google plus is crashing a lot since the update.

Does anyone know if AT&T's statement regarding allowing video chat apps that come preloaded on AT&T phones to once again work over their mobile network by the end of 2013 applies to Google Hangouts? I know they were addressing the outrage associated with them blocking Facetime...but it seems like it should apply to Hangouts also. I can't get an answer from AT&T, everyone I've talked to with customer service didn't even know what Google Hangouts was.

It seems like Hangout uses the actual phone number from the carrier to send and receive SMS even though it was my Google Voice number that was confirmed after the update. I have tried sending SMS from Hangout but my friend did not receive it on the other end.

I had AT&T blocked all text messages since switching to Google Voice when they told me that they would only offer unlimited text message plan. Yea, I was annoyed enough to go change my number on all my friend's contact list. SMS from AT&T itself isn't blocked and those are the ones that show up in Hangout.
