I had several smart phones but this new Hangout that is command central for Phone calls, texts (SMS) and email (MMS) isn't for me. I had to delete everyone of my email address on my home laptop in the Gmail. That was because I had two two contacts for each person and since they always download from the cloud address from my Laptop to my N5. I couldn't stand having two contact records for every person I had both their cell phone and mail address.
Now I went old school. Hangout was replaced by 8SMS App that is upgraded for Kit Kat and works like a normal text message App. Phone calls are made from the Contact list that uses to be shared with Hangout. I was moving from Yahoo Mail to Gmail but Hangout sent my email back to Yahoo.
I'm too old to want to Hangout when all I want to do is text or call or email someone. I know a lot of people like Hangout but I have wasted two days trying to get use to Hangout with it's quirky UI. Love my N5 it is a great phone.
