Hi there to the best community of developers! :good:
I’m having an issue with Google Hangouts SMS notifications. I don’t know if it has to do with my phone or not but I have a Galaxy S3 T999 and when I receive an SMS, hangouts doesn’t notify me. On the other hand if I receive a hangout chat I instantly receive a notification. I have turned on the SMS notifications in the Hangout's settings. I also turned off the notifications in the stock Messaging app and in Go SMS app which I was using before moving to hangouts. I thought it might have to do with a conflict with other SMS app notifications, but that neither has resolved the issue. I’ve read through the forum but haven’t found anything related, so I will really appreciate any help on this.
No SMS alerts
I am also experiencing this issue.
When I go into the settings of Google Hangouts there is a section for SMS in which the only options for notifications is for sounds.
I will receive both a icon in the notification bar, my notification light will blink, and an alert will go off when I receive a Google Hangouts message, but nothing for SMS.
I am running 4.1.2 on a Galaxy S3 - SGH-I747
Freeze GoSMS and Stock SMS. Wipe data for Hangouts and then reboot. Login to Hangouts and set all the preferences all over.
No luck

How do you mean "freeze" the apps?
I cleared their cache and did a Force Stop. I wiped Hangouts and rebooted, set my preferences and still nothing.
I also set Hangouts as my Default Messaging App.
Still no notifications.
Titanium Backup will freeze the apps.
Thanks!

Thanks Perseus71 for your response! I did as you suggested and it indeed solved the problem. I wonder though if someone with a non-rooted Galaxy S 3 T999 could solve this issue since Titanium Backup is for rooted devices only. But again thanks for your support.

They can still do it without freezing, all you gotta do is uncheck the option in gosms to disable other SMS app notifications

Yes its possible to do for Non-Rooted devices. In Settings > Apps , you can hit disable for the given app. If you had any updates, then you will have to remove them first before you will get the Disable button.

I'm having issues with Google Voice syncing the conversations done on the website onto my phone.
Here's an image of the texts I sent on the GV website a few minutes ago: http://i.imgur.com/X3fp2.jpg
Here's the same conversation when I open up the GV app on my phone: http://i.imgur.com/Go3dK.jpg
I've attempted to refresh the Google Voice app several times and it just does not sync and show my texts. I also did a full refresh of everything in Accounts and Settings and nothing. Background data is enabled. I am running a stock Galaxy Nexus with 4.04 and the newest Google Voice version.
Anyone have any ideas? Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks
Mine syncs just fine. Even clears notifications on the phone when I view on the web.
Did you go into Google Voice > Settings > Sync and notifications and make sure the app's background data and everything is set up?
Could always try signing out of GV app (which wipes its data) and signing back in to "sync it up".

Yup, that's all setup. It's weird because it syncs the messages I receive, but not the ones I sent myself. I'm going to uninstall/reinstall the app.
Edit: That seems to have done it. Cool.

I'm having the exact same issue. Unfortunately uninstalling/reinstalling didn't work for me. Any other ideas I can try?
Hey all,I'm having a problem with text notications and hope someone can help. I'm running MikG 3.11,I have chomp SMS as my texting app, even though I've unchecked every box in my stock messaging app, I still get notifications from it,along with my chomp app. I go into the manage apps, force close the stock app,no luck. I go back and clear data but then when I go back to check the stock SMS settings, everything needs to be unchecked again. Does anyone else have this problem, and/or,is there a fix for it? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.Thanks.
Honestly stumped too I use handsent without the issue the double SMS issue my advise is check to make sure there isn't another sms app installed, double check to make sure you have NOTIFICATION turned off on the stock sms and also try installing titanium backup and freezing the sms app as a whole
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
double check that you unchecked the "recieved notification" and "auto-retrieve" checkboxes in the stock messaging app, along with notification sounds.
Edit: I downloaded chompsms, and afterwords i went into stock messaging app and unchecked just "recieved notification" which is the top option, and that worked fine as to stopping notifications from the stock messaging app.
if youre still having issues i would suggest uninstalling chompsms, clearing cache and dalvik, reinstalling chompsms, and then unchecking "recieved notification".
If that dont fix it, do a full wipe and reflash the rom (if you want to go that far)
Is it? Will phone, email and sms function still work flawlessly with lg apps and gmail if I disabled hangout?
Thanks

Go to settings>more
change the default msg app
Hangouts is safe to disable but it will try and be the default sms app on first boot. Just to be safe change it first
It's OK to Disable Hangouts
I have had Hangouts frozen by Ti Backup since I got the phone. No issues over a few weeks.
So this happened after the app update...wtf is this?
I have this same problem. I've noticed that it happens after I've used the Amazon music app. The only fix I've found was to force stop the Amazon music app and it clears these blank messages. I'm now on Android 8.0.0 and had this issue as well with the latest Android version 7, I was on. I have the Pixel 128gb on Verizon.
Its a problem with android messages
Yeah, I don't think it has anything to do with the Amazon music app running in the background anymore. Previously, when I saw the prompt that Amazon music was running in the background, if I started the messenger app, I got those blank threads and as soon as I force stopped Amazon music, the blank threads disappeared. Now, they stay and just go away on its own. Even with the recent update to messenger 2.5.211, it still does it.
It's definitely an issue with messenger.

Did you ever find a fix for this? I'm having the same issue.
I have this problem also after restoring the sms with the sms backup and restore. Basically the messages are there but I can't see them, only those ghost threads/messages and I cannot scroll down on the message list to see more of them.
same problem. here is what i did.
I downloaded hangouts and manually set it as default app for sms.
Then i opened up hangouts and went through all the threads that messenger wouldnt show.
Then i went back and forced stopped messenger, cleared data, and set it back as default.

Unfortunately the hangouts is not supporting sms anymore and is though unable to be set as a default sms app.

i have no idea why i had typed hangouts, must have been late. i meant to say verizon messages.
I got it working. Just disable the messages app and choose yes when it asks if you want to go back to factory app. Then clear cache and data and enable the app again. Then you can view all the messages. After this updating the app through play store is also safe and the messages remain visible.

Great!
The only text messaging app that works on my OP9P is Google Messages, which is installed by default. I've tried Textra and a few other apps, but as soon as I switch the default messaging option to something other than Google Messages, texts stop coming. I've granted all permissions that the apps wanted. What's going on?

I use signal as my default messaging app and have no issue, and even use threema for certain people, so I'm not sure why you would be having that issue outside of having battery optimization on your default app

Nope. In any case, SMS doesn't use the internet – just plain old cell service.
