Texting Intent not working correctly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Description:

when you click Text to text someone from their contact page, it asks which app 
you want to use as default. This is a problem, because if you switch to a new 
messaging app on 4.4 it won't let you use the old one until you switch back. So 
if I set Hangouts as "always use" then I switched to my stock app, the Text 
button in Ready would be broken. Instead, Ready should ALWAYS use whatever is 
set as the default messaging app.

We checked the issue and it seems that there are two problems.

1. There are some messaging apps, like TextSecure, that can be set as default 
in Settings > More... > Default SMS, but they do not properly handle messaging 
intents, so pressing "Text" in Ready causes a popup notification showing up 
with an error message. Unfortunately it's an issue with the 3th-party messaging 
app.

2. The other issue is with Android, causing that when you press "Text" in 
Ready, you have to select the messaging application (dialog with the "Always / 
Just once" button), but instead of opening the selected application it opens 
Hangouts anyway. You can solve the issue by checking the Android Settings > 
More... > Default SMS and make sure that the preferred messaging app is set as 
default.
