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.

I need to know how to roll back or undo the newest Gmail update. It's screwing up notification stuff I have for Gmail. I had a widget to show me unread emails (SMS Unread count) but now it keeps force closing if I try to make a widget for Gmail. I know its not an issue with the SMS Unread conut app because it works fine for making widgets for phone calls and text messages. Also, with the latest Gmail update, GoLauncher no longer shows me unread count in the dock, even though the setting is checked to do so.
Uninstall from marketplace.ah my apps
Or menu settings applications manage applications downloaded push gmail app clear data cache force stop restart

It's already there. Once you uninstall the update, the old version will be there. You may need to reboot.
Is this due to the latest G-Mail app locking the mail database to outside apps? I just ran into this as well and had to uninstall the update too.

ohhh.. is that what they did??
Also doesn't support zip attachments. Cant save em or view em. Don't like the update.
Once I change .zip to .bin it shows up fine
thanks. unfortunately that option isn't available. seems i'll be stuck with this until gmal releases another update.
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.

Perseus, you are a god
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!
At this point , and coming from Samsung's, I don't think I'll root my phone. I've already uninstalled or disabled apps from the app drawer main list and none of the system apps.
I remember when I had the Samsungs and after rooting there were long lists of apps to uninstall.
It may be quite different for this phone but Is there such a list for the Pixel 2 ?
Thanks
Not really.
The benefits of stock android is lack of bloatware.
At this point it is just preferential.
I for instance freeze android messenger and use something else
Freeze with titanium backup as my phone is rooted.
But messenger is a decent app i wouldnt knock it.

I too, did the same. I use Verizon's Message +
It's as bare as it gets. Just disable whatever apps you'll never use. I disabled Gmail because I use Inbox. That's it for me.

So you never get any SMS messages at all? Or you have Google Voice and get your SMS in Hangouts?

I am on ProjectFI so I get to use Hangouts for everything still.
However, if messenger is thawed it gets in the way.
Sometimes AndroidAuto will use it.
Sometimes system messages will use it.
Multi Factor authentication messages always use it.
I dont so my message histories are fragmented.
Freezing Messenger resolves the issue.

Yeah I was that way before. I have Google Voice so I could use Hangouts for SMS but Messages works better for me especially if there's group messages. I actually don't use Hangouts anymore because I transitioned my most contacted friends and family to Allo/Duo.
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.
