I am running the new Cyanogen and just recently when I got home, my text messages won't open. I can get to the list of people, but when I try to open them to see the thread of messages, it force closes. I have rebooted quite a few times and still doesnt work.
Does anyone have a apk i can run to fix this, or just anyway that I might be able to fix this?
It is still doing this after I flashed the new nightly build.
Very frustrating.
Some people have fixed messaging issues by using the Handcent app
Hi pplz,
I'm currently on s.ROM but this problem has occurred in prior tried ROMs too.
I seem to get no notification for wechat incoming msg and even incoming voice or video calls. I only know this because friends have notified me and waiting for a reply via WhatsApp. I then proceed to open Wechat and behold I see multiple msgs waiting and the odd call missed.
I check to see if Wechat is running apps almost every time I reboot and it is with its services running. So what's the problem here?
I also get a similar problem with google play app update notifications... They never appear until I open Google play itself and look in My apps or when I reboot the phone then the notifications I get after the system has loaded.
So is this a problem with the app/gcm services they use? As WhatsApp and telegram runs perfectly.
I Xposed running with boot manager, greenify and amplify, but I have not selected any of these apps to touch the msging or google play apps.
I had the same problem prior to using Xposed FYI.
Any suggestion on what I could do? Or diagnose the problem.
Tks in advance.
I am on the latest nightly but i notice Hangouts crashes every time i go to use it. As soon as i start typing it crashes.
Anyone have a similar issue?
Yep. Everyone does. It sucks.
It seems (That side of it [SMS]), to be working for me.
My problems happen when I want to use it to make calls to the States. In short you can't.
I think your supposed to use Duo for that now, and Allo is the new SMS (Messenger) App. Having that installed, might be why Hangouts seems to be fine here.
But, the writing is on the Wall for Hangouts. Unless you have some for Corporate use Licence (Google for Work), Hangouts is on the way out.
So I finally bit the bullet and put CM13 on my n7. I couldn't stand the video issues I was having. This is my first time flashing cyanogenmod. My first time doing anything more complicated than root, actually. Everything seemed to go smoothly. Gapps are installed. Everything is working except for hangouts.
Hangouts is crashing immediately upon typing anything into it. I mean, just a single letter, and "unfortunately hangouts has stopped." It's only text that does it. Voice calls are working. I use hangouts with google voice. Also, none of my contacts' names or photos are showing, only their number.
I've cleared app data and cache, and cleared cache partition in recovery. I've also tried disabling updates in the play store and trying an older version of hangouts. I went all the way back to v 5.something. I tried 5 different apks and got the same result with all of them. Hangouts was never a problem in stock Android. What did I do wrong?
I may be way off base on this one, but your symptoms remind me of a similar problem I had a while back with Gapps. Typing certain characters into the app store would crash it too. Since Hangouts is part of the Google "family," maybe it's tied in somehow?
I recall solving the problem by upgrading gapps (specifically the play store) to a more recent version AND fixing permissions on the apps which were crashing. I believe I used an app available from the play store to do the latter.
This was just flashed yesterday. I followed the instructions on the cyanogenmod site exactly. I used the most recent version of open gapps listed on the site. It was a nano gapps package, which I assumed meant bear minimum to get the play store running. Build number on the play store is listed as 7.0.16.H-all [0]. Tapping the build number gives me a message that the play store is up to date.
Do you recall what app you used to fix permissions? I'm afraid I don't know much about managing permission.

In the Play Store, it's listed as "Fix Permissions" by Stephen (Stericson).
OK. I found the app. Gave it a try and it didn't solve my problem. Hangouts is still crashing the second I try to type in a text. I even rebooted after fixing permission on hangouts.
I'm starting to think my mistake may have been going with the nano open gapps package. Perhaps I should try a fuller version that has hangouts included. Does anyone know if I can simply re-flash gapps, or do I have to start over from scratch and reflash cm13 as well?
I'm going to try it. Gonna reflash cm13 followed by open gapps-stock which has all google apps normally installed on nexus devices, including hangouts. Crossing my fingers. I'll post back with progress.
Well this problem has taken me for quite a ride. Trying to flash any gapps package larger than the nano version resulted in errors; insufficient storage in the system partition. I finally decided to give up on CM13 and try Pure Nexus instead. WAY better. Hangouts is installed and working properly, and video playback works just fine. Only had one little glitch after flashing, there was no camera app. It didn't show up in play store either, so I downloaded an apk online. That one was buggy, but after I installed it, it showed up in the play store, and I was able to uninstall and reinstall from there. Works fine now.
I'm not sure where the bug lies, but it goes something like this: on the combination of CM13 and gapps (both opengapps and banks....so i'm inclined to believe it's a CM13 issue) hangouts looks for a simcard when sending google voice messages. on a phone without a sim you will get a never ending popup about which sim you want to use to send the message. you can pop in any sim and it will resume normal functionality. the sim doesn't even have to be activated. on the nexus wifi model, since it doesn't have a sim, you get an instant crash. it's been driving me nuts for a while.
*edit* must be CM13. just checked on an AOSP rom on another device. works fine without a sim.
Having same issue with Samsung Tab SM T310. CM12 Hangouts works great. On 13 and 14 no matter wha Gapps package you install Hangouts never works.

Is anybody able to send a text with Hangouts and a Google Voice number on a Nougat Flo?
I've tried a bunch of Nougat ROM's and can't get Hangouts to let me send a text.
I had a little bit of luck using Hangouts 15, but even it finally crashed.
I finally rolled back to a 6.0.1 ROM (those are getting few and far between...) and it seems to be working OK with Hangouts 17.
I'm guessing this is because there's no SIM in a Flo?
I sure would like it to work again on Nougat as I'd gotten pretty used to it pretty quickly.
Thanks,

I gave up on CM. Apparently the issue persists in the Lineage OS versions as well. I ended up going with purenexus marshmallow instead, and it worked like a charm. Unfortunately it looks like there won't be an official purenexus nougat for flo. I was really hoping that Lineage would fix the hangouts problem.
I've been wondering... If the issue is kernel related, could flashing elementalX or similar solve the problem? I haven't gotten around to trying.
Edit: elementalX works quite well with purenexus 6
Same problem here with LineageOS 14.1 (2018-04-04) + Hangouts + Nexus 7 (2013) Wi-Fi.
Hangouts crashes on typing anything into an SMS thread. I did notice it's fine on non-SMS threads ....as well as receiving voice calls.
I'd love to use Lineage on my Nexus 7, but I have to stay on the official ROM for now. I am happily using Lineage 14.1 on Nexus 5 & 4 though.

And just some background on why some people actually care about SMS with Hangouts: I don't have a phone number with anyone except Google. My phone uses a cheap T-Mobile data plan with no phone service. When I'm at home, my phone is off and the tablet/computer is on with access to my voice/SMS stuff.
So it's a pain in the ass that Lineage 14.1 has this problem with Nexus 7/Hangouts.
I have been using Pixel Experience PixelExperience_ginkgo-10.0-20201223-1313-OFFICIAL.zip for about 2 weeks now. But i am still facing one problem. Everytime im receiving Whatsapp Calls, my phone start lagging, hanging, and eventually crashed. Also happened when i try to record voice note.
I tried:
- Rebooting the phone
- Revoking whatsapp microphone permission and allow it again
Do you know what's the problem? I tried to not uninstall the app or doing factory reset because that will delete all my whatsapp chats. I do have backup on Gdrive but that will cost both my time and my limited internet usage.
Thanks to you all who tried to help me.
EDIT1: This problem only occurs in Whatsapp. I Tried to phone call on telegram, video call on gmeet, and etc, everthing works fine.
