I don't know if this is Pixel 2 specific, but it keeps happening on my Pixel 2 XL, and I can't find anything online about it happening to anyone else. If this is better off in another forum, let me know.
When I'm using messages.android.com] along with the Messages app for texting, it will sometimes (once or twice a day) send duplicate messages, but delayed by a few minutes or hours, and not always just the previous message I sent. It's very inconsistent and I can't find a pattern to it. It's been happening to me for at least a month.
I've tried:
* different laptops and browsers
* clearing storage to force the app to have a fresh start
* settings -> messages for web -> sign out of all computers
Example: this morning I sent a few texts from my phone, then a little later I logged on to messages.android.com, and it resent one of my texts from last night.
The only thing I notice is that it's always to a group chat, it never happens with just a single person.
Any suggestions or ideas would be great, thanks in advance.
Any update on this?

Nothing concrete. I upgraded to version 4 a couple of days ago and it hasn't happened yet. I stress 'yet' because it seems to be pretty spotty on when it happens and what triggers it.
Did you get this resolved?

I disabled automatic resending in chat features and it seems to have resolved it for me. It's only been a day, so time will tell.

Is it just me, or is the SMS screen a bit jerky and slow? I do have a 1000+ messages in there, but I can't imagine why it would make the scrolling so poor.

Actually it's almost 3 years worth of messages (transferred it from phone to phone).
Anyone else experiencing similar issues?
I had to factory reset my phone because of this a couple of days back. My contacts went blank and I could barely load the messages.
I can confirm this. Scrolling through sms is laggy and not very responsive. Even in threads with only less than 10 messages. So annoying...
Mines always been like that :-( grown to put up with it

doesn't froyo fix this?
If you let your message count get that high, then you're bound to encounter speed loss with the app. Try clearing your messages? Unless you need to know what happened 3 years ago?

Technically no. They should have dealt with performance issues with a high volume of text messages. I work within software development, and something like this would most certainly raise a red flag.
Hey sorry to raise a thread from the dead.
My Messages app now runs extremely slowly - can take 5-10 seconds to load an SMS thread and sometimes lags when i'm typing a reply.
Sounds like other people have experienced similar issues. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this? It's almost certainly down to having a large number of messages in the thread (over 3,500 from this one contact for reasons i won't go into!) but surely with a modern smartphone it should be able to handle lots of text messages! My iPhone with 2 years worth of messages had no such issues.
One other issue - for no reason whatsoever it somtimes jumps me back up to the very top of the thread of texts meaning i either have to spend ages scrolling down or back up and reload it go get it to show the most recent ones. Anyone else experienced this?
I dont have any issues with lag etc but i second the jump-to-top issue.. its happening once a day for sure and im sooo sick of it! Anyone knows anything?

So just as an update on my woes - my phone on Friday randomly wiped every single one of my text messages. I reset the phone but nothing came back.
Great.
On the plus side, messages is now running very fast. But seriously, a smartphone that can't handle lots of text messages (which are surely microscopic in file size) is just pathetic.
A person who can't be bothered to store extra messages seperatly is pathetic. There are apps to store/back up messages and if you are constantly referencing 2 year old messages you need help.
Just my opinion though.
I realise your comments aren't targeted at me but perhaps rather than just insulting someone's choices you could actually be helpeful and tell them the names of the apps you talk of.
Not even going to bother addressing the insular comments.
Search "SMS backup" on the market. There are lots and lots of apps. "Backup to gmail" is one I saw that looks good. I personally don't news or use any backup solution for SMS.
Hi everyone,
I have a new issue for you guys and maybe you can help me. I cannot find any information on my push delay issue. I am wondering if it might be related to random reboots and whether I should return my device for another. Anyway I have a very large delay with gmail push notifications. My galaxy s3 instantly gets emails when they arrive, but my nexus 7 can take anywhere between 10mins to 30mins to get that same email. Same with marking it as read if I have seen it on my phone. It happens whether it is sleeping or screen on and wifi connected the whole time. I can be browsing the web and my push email will not come. Is anyone experiencing this issue with theirs? As I am typing this my nexus has still not seen an email that came in 15 minutes ago to my nexus - Last gmail sync was 20 minutes ago with screen on and off periodically.
I am updated to JSS15Q and am not ready to root the device yet. My SGS3 is on PA 3.99 and works flawlessly with push. On another note, I am getting random reboots during sleep or use - just like many other people as well who have returned their devices to get one that doesn't do it. It is very annoying - considering returning the device soon, but I've already installed a bunch of things on it.
Thanks for the help!
Edit, it has now been over 12 hours and Gmail has not synchronized. It shows yesterday afternoon as last time of sync, while the account itself shows synced in the morning. The only things that synced in the morning are calendar and app data. 12 hours later I have like 15 new emails on my phone and Asus transformer, but nothing on the nexus. All sync is on in Gmail and settings. Wifi was on the entire night and I was downloading something too overnight, which finished. I kept the screen on all night so the tablet couldn't sleep. No emails. Any ideas?
Regarding Gmail: did you try removing the account and setting it up again?
Regarding the reboot: I haven't find solution yet:

Thanks for the reply. It seems I have somehow sorted out the issues. For fixing gmail, I did a factory reset and just put everything back on as well as all of my gmail accounts. Seems to be working with push ever since! However, I still had random reboots. I seemed to notice that they happened mostly when I was using chrome beta, so I froze chrome beta and started using chrome. No reboots for 209 hours and 40 minutes now! Going strong although I shall *knock on wood*. So if anyone else has either of these issues I recommend trying to remove chrome beta as it fixed reboots for me and possibly also doing a factory reset - even battery life improved after that with same apps reinstalled.
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.
Hey guys,
A few weeks ago my Verizon Samsung Note 4 received an OTA update - nothing major, I believe it just added some security patches and removed some bloatware. But since then, my gmail app has not been syncing properly.
The sync is definitely still ON, because it does sync sometimes but it's very sporadic. But it's not syncing as soon as emails come in, and often it will take a couple hours for new emails to show up (which I can see if I'm home near my computer). Some mornings I'll wake up and my emails from overnight will be there, and some mornings, nothing will have synced from overnight.
And as far as I can tell, there's nothing specific that finally prompts it to sync (in other words, turning my phone on, or simply opening gmail doesn't make it sync. It just seems to be totally random).
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!!
Dude I though it was me.. I been having the same problem. Anyone else having this problem and figured it out?
Same
I got the 5.1.1 update 8 days ago and exact same issue. I've been through 3 factory resets both using previous backups and starting fresh. Also used troubleshooting fixes from other posts... clearing data, clearing cache, turn sync off/on, removed/added Google account, etc. Nothing so far
Same issue here...
Strange. I've also taken the update (actually, if memory serves, there were 2 updates within a couple of weeks) and aren't experiencing the problems you all are seeing. I know, that doesn't help you any.
Hmm, well it does help to hear from others that are having the same problem, so at least I'm not driving myself crazy trying things that won't fix it! Thanks for the replies.
And of course, if anyone has any solutions, I'd still love to hear from you too . . .
I know this also is not much help, but I've sent an email to the Dev but no reply yet...
Same here in note 3 and since updating gmail app my gear 2 no longer gets notications from gmail even when gmail DOES show up on phone notifications.
Leave it to Verizon to screw everything up after finally making some big progress with the first 5.1 update. That update fixed SO MANY issues I was having with the phone. I was ready to switch to a new one, but the update made me want to keep it. Then I wake up to see this latest 2nd update was installed without it asking me, and now I am having major issues with things like Gmail not syncing, but also answering a phone call is horrendously bugged. I will have to swipe the green answer button like 8 times before it actually picks up the freaking call. My wifi will randomly stop sending and receiving any packets and my signal will just drop out completely, airplane mode doesn't fix it and it requires a hard reset. Like holy hell Verizon, what the actual freak do you guys do to your phones...
So recently I've had an issue with SMS/MMS on my 2XL, it seems some messages are just not getting through to my phone. About 2 months back I had an issue where about 90% of the time I would go to text one specific contact (wife), the messages app (stock app) would crash or hang for an incredibly long period of time. This persisted for a few weeks of many clear cache/revert to old version of app/etc. Finally I just backed up the SMS, cleared all the messages, and then restored them and that seemed to have fixed the problem.
Now, I am missing text messages (per verbal conversation) from a couple of contacts (mom, wife, best friend). It seems 90% of them are coming in but then randomly a few won't make it, which I only discover because the conversation doesn't make sense or I never get a reply and then when we speak in person or on the phone they say "no, I responded immediately, you didn't get the message". The only thing these 3 contacts have in common is that they are probably the most common people I text by far, and the thread of messages is quite long at this point. I also don't know if I am missing messages from other contacts or groups because the whole I don't know what I don't know thing. I also now am getting a few random crashes of the messaging app each day, again it seems when texting my wife.
Anyone else experience this? It's pretty frustrating - figuring it may be a time for a total factory reset and start over but if this is a known issue with a known fix, I would love to avoid the hassle of setting the phone up again.
before factory reset
force stop
delete all data
uninstall all updates
reinstall the app.
I had the same issue but it turned out to be carrier related.
Thanks for the response, was it the same issue with just random messages here and there not making it, but most coming through? Which carrier? I am on AT&T so I will reach out to them as well.
