This sounds more like Hangouts isn't handling the SMS intent. I'll test against TextSecure.  If I can open both TextSecure and my default messages app.

Actually, on further inspection this is once again an undocumented KitKat change.  We'll get to it, but I don't know why you need this extra code for intents.

> An URI like _"sms:12345678?body=This is a text message"_ in HTML should either launch the SMS app or show a list of apps able to handle the intent.
> On KitKat with only Hangouts installed neither of the two scenarios happen.
> The class {{org.apache.cordova.CordovaWebViewClient}} needs to have method {{shouldOverrideUrlLoading()}} changed so that URLs starting with _"sms:"_ is handled properly in KitKat and beyond. The current implementation is for pre-KitKat.
