So I updated hangouts yesterday and now I can't send mms using any texting app. I never used google voice so I didn't merge anything. After I noticed all my group messages and pictures weren't sending I tried using evolve, smitten and textra. All have had the same issue. I uninstalled the updates and used an older version, same issue.
What can I do? I'm on Verizon and using CM 11 nightlies. I'm about to wipe and clean install the M9 snapshot and try that.
The 4.4.4 update is the cause; Hangouts have problems to many devices.
It seems that the notifications ringtones are not installed properly.
What I've found on some forums and working for me:
1. Move all hangouts ogg giles from sdcard(emulated)/ ringtones to system/media/audio/ringtones
In order to do this you have to go to twrp , mount system and use file manager inside twrp
2. You have to do a small synchronization too.
Go to Settings --> Sounds --> Volume --> Volumes --> Uncheck "Link ringtone and notification volumes".
Then an additional choice appears for the Notifications.
After that I started to get the sounds when notifications arrived. I rechecked the "Link ringtone and notifications" and the volume still worked.
Seems like something that needed to be initialized once.
After this the hangouts notifications appears and play sound too.

I've been using Go SMS Pro for a while along with Tablet Talk. Recently, I've been having some Weird Stuff happening. Go SMS will often have a notification that "Sticks" even after I've read a message, making me have to hit clear. Message syncing has also been a bit quirky lately.
So I've uninstalled Go SMS Pro after backing up the settings to the internal memory/sdcard. But when I go into Messaging and re-enable notifications, it does not allow me to set the corresponding ringtone/vibrate settings anymore. I have tried clearing data on the messaging app with no success. I'm running the current stock T-Mobile ICS firmware with root.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Running:
Nexus 7 (2013) WiFi only, 16GB
Android Version: 4.4.4
Cyanogenmod Version: 11
Let me start off by saying that notifications and chat heads are enabled. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the apps, clearing the apps data and clearing the system cache partition.
Everything was fine until last night when randomly I stopped receiving Facebook notifications and chat heads became buggy. I am no longer notified when someone messages me, comments on a post of mine, etc. That doesn't bother me all that much, but the thing that bothers me is that chat heads don't seem to be working properly. They would usually automatically appear when someone messages me but they've stopped doing that. I don't get any sort of notification either. I have to manually open up the app to see if I have been messaged, then press on the conversation I want to open a chat head for. The strange thing is, everything works fine when I'm actually inside the Facebook app. When I'm in the app, chat heads appear automatically like they should. It's only when I close the app so the chat heads are over my other applications that they stop appearing. I can still chat through the already opened chat heads, just none appear so I don't know if I've been messaged.
Here is what I have to do to check if I've been messaged by someone else:
(Image added as attachment as I can't post outside links)
As you can see, instead of their chat head appearing, I have to expand an already active chat head and press the inbox icon. This problem is probably something to do with the notifications not working.
It isn't a heartbeat problem. The notifications don't appear at all. My friend has the same Nexus and he is not facing this problem. Notifications for everything else work fine.
Anyone got any advice?
Thanks.
I've got the same issue man...
Pretty sure they changed the app. You need separate messaging app for Facebook now. I may be wrong though.

Yes they have. And both notifications aren't working.

Just for reference, I've tried:
Uninstalling, then reinstalling Facebook and Messenger
Installing previous versions of both apps
Cleared cache, data of both apps
Triple checked notification settings in both apps and on device
Tried PFN to no avail
Turned platform off and then on again
Also, I had Messenger installed then uninstalled due to privacy concerns and I only noticed the lack of notifications after I reinstalled Messenger. It's as if Facebook is punishing me
Ok. So I've fixed mine. Facebook and Messenger notifications are both working now.
Not entirely sure of the issue, but I've;
Went to root/system/etc and deleted hosts file.
Installed SuperSU and updated binary.
Removed Facebook and Google accounts from device and resynced both.
*edit.
Not sure if it had anything to do with it, but I uninstalled Freedom as well...
I use Hangouts for SMS and Hangouts. I've changed my notification sounds for both SMS and Hangouts, but the default "Hangouts Message" notification still plays. Does anyone have this issue? This was not an issue on my N6.
Go into settings/apps/hangouts then check permissions. Make sure Storage is enabled. I have enabled all of them since I use hangouts for everything.
Had the same problem on my N5 running 6.0.
Have a N5X now and I love it
That was the issue. Thanks!
Was having the same issue too. Thanks!
On that note, I've read that some apps are failing to ask for the run-time permissions like they are supposed to. It's suggested to take a look at any/all apps that are showing any kind of odd behavior for permission problems.
For some reason, the latest Hangouts, or at least the phone, now, with Hangouts... doesn't wake on new messages unless Hangouts is open. I don't even get notified as to new messages until I open it.
I have tried degreenifying, etc. It's not mentioned under power save.
I have PI3.
Any thoughts?
Go to Settings -> Notifications -> Advanced. Select Hangouts from the list of Apps. tick "Set as priority." That should get you notifications.
I actually did that earlier. Still trying to determine if that fixes it. Thanks
Hello guys, I am considering to buy Red Magic 6 Pro and was wondering if it comes default with Google Phone (Dialer)? I really enjoy Google Dialer in my current phone as it can block spam automatically and has nearby places etc.
Nope comes with their dialer. I downloaded Googler Dialer and it wouldn't ring for me anymore. I had to delete it to get the phone to ring again.
@veedubsky have you tried setting google dialer as default? or vice versa? by vice versa I mean keep the stock dialer as default, because sometimes setting Google dialer default also breaks things. you could also install Google dialer framework from Magisk modules if you are rooted.
I've had the same issue with the RM5G since launch.
The Google Dialer on my 5G uses/sees notification sounds only instead of ringtones when you access its notification settings. It also defaults to silent. Contact ringtone settings also have no effect. I've tried multiple versions of the Google Dialer (on multiple stock ROM versions) without success - forced back to using the stock Dialer, unfortunately.
I'm inclined to think it's a ROM issue in terms of how ringtones/notification sounds are configured/defined.

Yup tried setting as default and then clearing default and leaving it alone. Either way the Google dialer wouldn't not produce a ringtone alert. I get the answer screen but no sound or vibe. Deleted it and stuck with the stock dialer.

So it is not possible to keep Volte enabled? Does it not ring when google dialer is made default? Could you please check if automatic spam blocking and nearby places work?

Doesn't work on my RM5G. I didn't use the .apk you linked and downloaded the latest version from the Play Store instead.
VOLTE on/off made no difference.
I hoped that disabling the stock contacts app would solve the issue (since it's an integrated Dialer/Contacts), but it made no difference. Calls ARE received/displayed using the Google Dialer, but no ringtone is played/heard.
Investigating further, I noticed we have a ”Call Management" app that can't be disabled and may be the culprit.

I didn't have any issue previously but it is happening now. I am deleting the Google phone apps and see how it works.

you need to use the apks which I posted...updated apks will not work.
I am using T-Mobile and i cannot turn off VoLTE. They forced everyone on their network to use VoTLE. earlier this year. They will do the same on ATT early next year when they remove 3G network. I wish there was another way to fix this. I hate this Dialer on my RM6 Pro.
Anyone else having issues where you cant hear the other person when answering calls? I have to change to speaker for a second and then back to handset just to hear them.
Does anyone know of any dialer that works with the RM6? I tried many and they all have the same issues you guys are talking about. It wont ring on incoming calls. I can receive but wont hear the ringing on the phone.
