I switched to CM11 nightlies when it came out for galaxy nexus. Been having all kinds of issues with texting. First i tried hangouts and i couldnt get lightflow to work with it so i could get repeat notifications and stuff like that. Gave up on hangouts and switched to the normal messaging app. Probably should add that my voicemail and text messages are going through google voice account but i have google voice setup on phone only to sync the voicemails and let normal messaging app to deal with sms/mms. anyway, since switching to the normal messaging app i have been getting text messages multiple times. just had a few texts i originally received about 5 hours ago come through again in a quick burst right after i got a new message from somebody else. i have played with lots of the settings but nothing seems to fix this. the other day i got repeat messages come through the second time at about 3am which was annoying as hell. thinking about it some more it also did it once or twice when i was using hangouts. please help!?!?
i just looked online at my google voice account and im not getting them twice on there so its something on the phone doing it. going to uninstall lightflow and see if its causing the problem.
It could be a problem with CM11. I remember having the issue on CMetal when the message would come in twice using the stock messaging app. It was later fixed by the developer. So maybe its an issue Cyanogenmod has to fix. As far as Lightflow working with Hangouts. It works fine for me. You need to make sure you turn off the notification in the Hangouts app so you dont get the sound/vibrate twice.

thanks. so far so good with lightflow uninstalled- no double messages yet and have received some texts in last hour or so and none ofthem have repeated. problem with lightflow and hangouts i was having wasnt double notifications, it was i got only the default hangouts notification and nothing that was set in lightflow. ill keep playing with it i guess and keep updating CM and try again in a few days or week to see if it works better.
mind sharing your settings you had for lightflow- what settings for lightflow app and then what notifications you were using (all hangouts messages, sms, mms, etc). there is so many to choose from for hangouts in lightflow i wasnt sure what correct ones to use was and all the combinations i tried didnt seem to work. thanks.

The only thing I touched in light flow was the "hangouts-all notification types". I didn't use the MMS and SMS ones.

thanks. reinstalled lightflow, reselected hangouts as default sms app, and just did what you said above and it seems to be working. Before i had messed with lightflow settings and clearly one of those options screwed things up. no double messages yet either- ill keep my fingers crossed that either reinstalling or the latest CM update fixed that. thanks for your help- appreciate it!
thought everything was working but still getting messages coming through a second time. seems to be only the messages that i dont actually go in the app and mark as read. im going to make sure i clear those and see if it helps for now.

Great, report back.
One suggestion though, instead of going through all these trial and error attempts, you could just get a logcat and get it to lightflow dev/CM11 maintainer (or nightly thread), surely they will be able to help more/pinpoint the culprit.

thanks for the suggestion. ill try and figure out how to do that and get it to them.
i have still been messing with it and have had no luck. it is so $%#&ed up i am annoyed beyond belief. just a few minutes ago- got a notification of a photo of my niece my brother texted to me. preview of photo was visible in notification but when i click on it, nothing, messages just disappears. Not to mention im not just getting double messages anymore, i get up to quadruple messages sometimes. ive been close to just throwing my phone against the wall when suddenly every message i received in the last day come through again, 4 times each, and phone is trying to notify for each message- feels like its going to vibrate itself to pieces and the beeping over beeping over beeping is just crazy.
Doesnt matter if i have hangouts or the stock messaging app as the default sms/mms app. doesnt seem to matter what settings i use in any of them, because ive tried just about every combination. i'm eligible for a phone upgrade at the end of this month so i just have to make the phone bearable until then. im going to try the logcat thing but after i send that ill just go back to stock to see if that helps cuz im going to go crazy(ier) having to deal with this anymore. Grrrr!
sorry to keep posting on here to complain but just to add to the mystery. brother resent the text that disappeared when i clicked on it a few minutes ago. new one opened fine and the one that disappeared earlier suddenly showed up also.

I am having a issue that started today for some reason. When I try to send a text message or any kind of message for that matter from the messaging program that comes on the phone....the message just sits there and say sending..... underneath what you are trying to send. So that tells me its hanging and net getting out. I can receive message with no problems. Can anyone direct me of what to do to correct it ? I have made sure all my settings in Network settings are the way they are suppose to be like they have been all along. Any help or directions or ideas would be so great. Thanks for your time.

more details.. on stock?
silly question but you'll be surprised... have you tried rebooting?
wipe caches?
fix permissions?
3rd party messenger?
yeah I have went over all that. I have checked all the messaging settings/permissions. I have rebooted a number of times. I have cleaned out all cache that I can...even with deep cleaner apps from the market. I even tried to install and use the handcent messaging app from the market and I get the same results. I try to send a text and the message notifier just sits there and spins because it is not going through. Again though, I can receive messages. this is really beginning to upset me.

hmmm fresh wipe and flash a new ROM?
Try 3rd party app? That's what I did. Messages would not go through...kept getting failed messages. So I downloaded am sms app and it worked with that one. (on Juggernaut ROM btw)

well i did something tonight and it corrected everything. I installed a new rom on my Samsung Galaxy S2-t989. Its called the Tuesday Rom. It works really awesome. My phone is sickly much quicker and system storage and my main gig drive space increased because this new rom requires less space to install. Check it out. awesome !!!!! Look for the video on youtube..search these keywords.....Tuesday ROM for T-mobile Galaxy S2! [SGH-T989]
So ive had my S3 since the beginning of November and have had no problems. Around the beginning of December I did an OTA update to Jelly Bean and everything was working great. Christmas morning comes around and i was recieving notifcations through all my apps like normal, but starting in the afternoon notifications stopped from such apps as Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat..etc. I checked setttings and all notifications are turned on for each individual app, i went under accounts and sync is turned on. Went into the individual app and checked settings, logged out and back into them. Went as far as to uninstall everything and reinstall the apps but still no notifications are coming through. Ive turned off and restarted the phone. Its becoming a real pain now having to continiously check all my apps to see if ive recieved anything.
I did a google search and found a site where someone else was having the same problem but there were never any resolutions. Has anyone else here come across this problem and know how to resolve it? am i really going to have to reinstall the OS to fix? it seems odd that my text and kik are the only ones that still recieve push notifications. Please let me know, its driving me crazy!
Twitter has done this for me every upgrade for months. I can correct it by going to settings, click my account then notifications, change something, hit back, wait for the toast to say it was saved then change it back.
Facebook used to be similar, but on the new more native app I have yet to get the notifications to work completely att the time for replies and a few other things.

Just wanted to see if anyone else has been experiencing the same thing. I haven't experienced any lag with this phone whatsoever except for the stock messaging app.
1) Sometimes when I open the messaging app, the preview of a text messaging thread may be from many hours ago and then "refresh" itself to the most recent text. Essentially when I open the app, the preview shows a much older text message and then after a couple seconds will show the most recent one.
2) Sometimes when I push send on a message, it will take a second before the text is actually sent so if I continue to text, it will add on to the previous message until sent.
The only way I've found to correct this is to switch to the "SMS/MMS" tab, which seems to correct the lag, but of course any time you push the back button out of the app, it goes back to the deault "all messages" tab when opening. I also tried holding down the tab titles and it brings you to a screen which it almost looks like HTC was going to give the option to remove other tabs but the boxes cannot be unchecked.
Anyone else running into these issues? Find a solution?
Yeah ive noticed the same weirdly enough I don't feel lag when using sliding messaging app or textra

I don't recall having any of those issues but for me what happens is when I open the message app, in the list of people I've been texting, it shows their phone number for a second, and then it switches to their name. And it only happens once in a while. Like right now, it's not happening. Weird

I have these two issues.
This stock HTC Messages app automatically closes when you back out of sending a reply message, so it doesn't refresh the preview list like previous HTC phones on a reply. On the same token, it appears that it completely quits the Messages app, requiring you to load the names from the Contacts app when you open the Messages app without replying to a message. If you press Home rather than Back, when you open the Messages app again, it loads the messaging screen with the contact you most recently messaged, the person to whom you just replied. If you open the app and send a message, then press Back, it loads the list again, and everything is all good. It's all very odd.
Well glad to see I'm not the only one. I had tried Handcent, Chomp, etc with nothing but lag and other issues. Thanks to the response from NSRpxndxhou, I tried Textra and actually really like it. Best replacement text app I've tried.
I like how HTC's stock messaging app looks, but it ended up simply being too slow. I switched to Textra, enabled the dark theme and never looked back. Silky smooth performance, even with giant threads.
I am in the middle of an email conversation with the guys at Textra. I love the app. But my group messages are not working correctly. Those guys are great. Within one day I got an email with an update to try.... make that two updates. Just got another one while typing this.

Textra does seem nice, but there are a couple things I would miss from the stock messaging app. I like the ability to search ALL your text messages to find a specific text. I also prefer to have the time stamp on each and every text like the stock application does. I also don't like how it shows the contacts phone number below their name.
I would likely use this as a stock replacement if they were able to integrate all those features.

You may want to consider going into messaging->settings->general and adding a text limit (default at 200). When you do this you will notice your messaging to be a bit more zippy. This is because its not trying to open all of your old previous messages (which can be in the thousands).

I had a Messaging app issue when I had too many messages, which was fixed by deleting them, but that whole "reloading" issue seems to be separate.
Even with a few messages, it tends to reload upon reopening the Messaging app. Really weird why it does it...

I agree. I go through 5-6k texts a month and if I didn't set a limit my stock messaging app would laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag.

Had this issue as well, found out that if you go to the stock messaging app settings > MMS > then connection settings, this gives you the APN. Copy that URL and paste it in the Textra MMS settings. Mines worked flawlessly ever since. Not experiencing any lag like the stock messaging app, and have noticed no difference in features.

Since day 1 there have been occasional problems with my Hangouts messaging (not SMS enabled)...sometimes it takes 7-10 minutes before a message comes through. Its weird because its not all the time...maybe every few days or so. My wife is even getting mad at me because she thinks I'm ignoring her. I flashed a new ROM hoping the problem would go away, but the problem continues whether stock or non. Only hangouts seems to be affected...everything else with the phone seems fine. I am about to start looking at 3rd party apps, but I prefer to stick with google since it integrates well into gmail and keeps chat history tied to google acct. Anyone else having this problem? It took me a while before I even noticed it was a problem tho...mostly thanks to the wife.
I don't use Hangouts, so I'm not sure of it's a common issue. That being said, have you tried the stock Messages app? It works flawlessly for me...
Sent from my SM-N900T
Use hangouts a ton with both family and business both on my phone and in chrome browsers on desktops. No real lag except when I am using the browser and then move to the phone, but as soon as it sees me using the phone it is the same. Don't use it for SMS.
Forgot to mention this only started happening with my Gnote3. I have been using Hangouts exclusively for a long time and ALWAYS worked flawlessly with my other Androids. I've never seen a problem until I bought the Gnote3.
I tried using that but the lag was unbearable.

I am suffering from the same issues & I don't want to use a separate app for sms. I live having it all in one app. Also, I only have this problem on tw roms.

Its just the app man. Nothing you can do, especially in busy rooms its terrible
Hangouts stopped working altogether for me. I had to switch back to Google Voice just to get texts.
Hangouts is goofy, sometimes it won't notify of new messages when they're received, sometimes it doesn't receive them at all and sometimes its delayed. I'll be talking to my girlfriend via hangouts on my PC via a wired connection and sometimes the message will come in on my phone at the same time, 30 seconds later a few minutes later, or not at all until I refresh the conversation.

If I am actively chatting with someone on my PC responses don't show actively on my phone unless I look for them. If I stop responding on the PC, the phone starts to announce new messages. It think this is a feature.

I thought that too, but it seems to do it whenever it likes. Prime example: I've been chatting with my girlfriend on my phone and the screen is off, I have gmail open in Chrome but it's not the active tab. She sends me a message and both my phone and my pc notify me of a new message at the same time.
Apologies if I am posting this in the wrong spot. I have a Pixel 2 XL(obviously) and had been on the Android beta program for some time now. The android p beta had been running really solid for me with no issues. So when they pushed it out officially last week i of course went for it. However, all of a sudden now, when *sending* texts, it gives me a notification sound (same as incoming notification). Anyone run into this? I searched the forums briefly but didnt see anyone with the issue although I couldve missed it.
Note- I'm using the Google Messages(I believe thats the official name) app, I just prefer it to Hangouts. I did check the settings, and disabled the setting for outbound notification sounds- but it persists.
Here's the kicker- it cant be isolated to just me, as my mom has the same phone -she messaged me last week and asked if she should update (I'm typically the guinea pig) and I said yep, been rock solid for me.. now she's getting the exact same behavior. So barring it being the messages app itself which i suppose is possible, I dont know.
Thoughts? Suggestions? I havent tried a different messenger app yet, suppose I could(textra maybe), I'm just partial to this one for whatever reason.
Thanks in advance!
Disregard. I guess its specific to Android Messages app. Installed another text app and the issue went no longer occurs.
I have the same issue with my Android Messages app
