Question Google Messages: iMessage Emoji reactions not working for me - Google Pixel 6 Pro

Finally the "show iPhone reactions as emoji" setting showed up for me in Google Messages (Version messages.android_20220405_01_RC00.phone.openbeta_dynamic) on the latest stock ROM.
But even after force closing the app, cache flushes and reboots, it won't work. Reactions from my wife's iPhone are still shown as "'message' added a heart" instead of an actual emoji.
Any suggestions are highly welcome!

I have the option, but it only works about half the time. It's a half baked solution at it's best.

The iOs versions has something to do with this. I'm able to see the reactions from newer updated iOs phones. The older ones still show "Bob 'laughed' at ....."

Swype question

I'm not asking for any apks first of all.
anyone know what the last or best version was before the auto ads dictionary? I love Swype but their current betas automatically add words and I hate it.
I like the predictive text but I liked it when you had to tap "add to dictionary"
Any help appreciated because the one I brought over from my old phone auto capitalizes and on bootup throws a fc message. It works but sometimes glitches out. not picky about color themes etc.

not sure what you're talking about...
latest version is quite nice and almost everything it's adjustable via settings, including the personal dictionary
www.swype.com
register to have backup and sync to swype server
I have an account but I tried the latest update about a month ago and whenever you type a weird word and click it, it adds it to my dictionary whereas before after clicking it would then ask "add to dictionary" and you could ignore it. Can you turn that particular feature off? Without turning anything else off?
I can adjust my personal dictionary now I just don't want auto add of words just because I use it one time...
just don't tap it lol
if I type a word that isn't in the dictionary,
AND then I continue by typing a space or other punctuation, it will ask ..
but if the word you have just typed is the selected word.. at left, in gold, you don't have to tap it to use it ...
in fact, since it is already the current word, tapping it is like telling swype to add it
nope.. I can't get it to add automatically, lol
maybe you have old version
My version is beta 1.3 ... shows as 1.3.5.10176 in application manager
I have auto correct OFF!
Yea but I want auto correct on except when I tap it to say yes use this word then ask me whether I want it or not.
My current version and previous versions I use work like this. Just want the latest of this generation...running 3.26.92
My version is the latest official beta ...
yours seems to be a version built for a manufacturer.. pre-installed on the phone?
if so, it's not a great idea to use it on different phone
I understand what you're saying about how it is and what you like, but the official beta is quite advanced
does yours sync and backup dictionary to server?
allow handwriting?
have "living language"?
have Swype connect?
receive notification and updates from Swype?
well anyway.. you can always go to their website
and post your question in their forums

But, I don't think you've tried the latest beta.
It doesn't do the thing that is bugging you. I've only had it for like 2 or 3 days. About the time I jumped to jb 4.2.1

If you like swype I'd highly recommend at least trying the latest swift key flow, I like it better than swype. It's just as fast but seems to have a better prediction.

[Q] G3 and SwiftKey

How are people finding SwiftKey on the G3? I am seeing two persistent issues
1) G3 will periodically revert to Google Keyboard necessitating the re-selection of SwiftKey. This was happening a couple of times again till I froze the Google Keyboard.
2) There is a consistent lag when Swiftkey is getting loaded. You click on a text field and half a second later the keyboard comes up. I don't see this with the LG or Google keyboards.
Swiftkey is so much better than the alternatives I hope they fix this soon. Must have something to do with the screen res.
Haven't noticed any lag myself tbh.
Not had the switching keyboard thing either although I have in the past

Yeah i get that with SwiftKey loading slowly but not all the time
I read on twitter that the LG G3 keyboard will be having an update within the month. Among the improvements will be next word prediction and emoticon prediction. Perhaps, after this update, the G3 keyboard will be on par (or close to) the functionality of swiftkey

Don't think so. While others approach Swiftkey in terms of functionality and prediction algorithms in English, Swiftkey is nearly as amazing in other languages, including those of small countries with population less than Manhattan. How they do it I don't know, but it is a fact.

Look into the LG-Keybord settings for :bi-langual suggestion. Disable all languages that are availble, and check if Swiftkey is still lagging.

@lguK announced it (the official UK LG account) not sure if other LG accounts also announced it.
Are you running on ART? Have you tried restarting your phone or reinstalling swiftkey?
I use swiftkey and one of the best things about is is that I can change the long press time to about 200ms. It's way too long on stock keyboards and this makes getting to some symbols and limited number usage faster than having to switch from letters all the time.

I am on ART and I don't have either of the problems. I have Swiftkey lag on my wife's Moto G.
Swiftkey on Dalvik - lag
Swiftkey on ART - no lag
I'm back to Dalvik because I wanted Xposed
One thing I did that helped a bit is go to settings - Languages and the first option Language - I unchecked Spelling correction which seems to have helped quite a bit in the lag department.
I got lags since they launched the Swiftkey 5 version, even on ART/Dalvik in my Moto G.
It's toooo slow and there are lots of annoying lags.
I've been using Swiftkey since 2013, and I never had any problems like that.
They already said is working to solve this issues.
SwiftKey was lagging on my Moto G as well. In both Dalvik and ART. Too heavy it was I think, but I was using it anyway.

Yes I did reinstall, problem still there. The only fix I have seen is to freeze the LG keyboard which seems to be the culprit wanting to insert itself back

I never noticed this before on the HTC One X. Maybe because the phone as a whole was less responsive because this is par for the course. You are right, I have grown so used to SwiftKey that I just put up with these things and keep using it.
I keep accidentally hitting up or down instead of space and it's driving my writing insane. That sucks.
Im also inadvertently collapsing predictions possibly, or the phone is. Haven't figured that out yet.

Except that SwiftKey is not LG exclusive and has over 3 years of my writing history. It knows what I'm saying before I do. Nothing will replace it for a long time to come. Until voice dictation is perfected.

ART is not supported by all apps yet. So use for the time being Dalvik
If you are using Swiftkey, disable bi-langual word-prediction in the setting from LG-keyboard. See screenshot. Its Dutch but you should find it..:cyclops:

Nope, such a setting does not exist. Under LG Keyboard/Settings I see two subsections: My Keyboard and Smart Input. The latter has an item "Additional settings" in it, but there is nothing even remotely related to "bilingual prediction" there.

Well, I tried to translate it from Dutch. So its proberly under 'smart-input' scroll down a bit and search for wordsuggestions. If you cant find it, you dont have it?! Sounds strange to me..

Weird behaviour scrolling lists like amazon or aliexpress.

Hello there,
I recently purchased a used HTC 10 (original purchase date ~5.2016)...
Every time I am searching the flash deals in the Amazon App (I think I have similar problems with AliExpress too, but I am not able to reproduce this on poruse. Amazon is every time making these problems.), I have this weird scrolling behavior.
Procedure:
1. Open App - enter flash deals
2. scroll list, click on entry, go back
3. scroll further
---> Screen will return to the position, where you last checked one entry by clicking on it.
It looks like the "keyboard-choosing-cursor" is stuck there. (Yellow frame around the entry), and I can't go much further down, until it will scoll up again.
Fixing is going back to previous page, going back again, scrolling down to the last items I was.
This is not the workaround I could live with, since I am very limited on using these apps.
Already shoot some google searches, but only got things like "not responsive touch" etc...
Other apps seems normal, eBay has no such problem since now...
Amazon seems to have this problems only within the flash-sales, not the normal.
For AliExpress I wasn't able to reproduce this on purpose.
Is this a app specific fault? Or is it my device?
I am coming from a M7 with CyangenMod 13 (6.0.1) and I am running on the 10 6.0.1 Stock...
Someone else experiencing this? Or heard about it?
I am very clueless..
Thanks
houston
I've noticed this behaviour too with Swipe for Facebook and Chrome Browser. I could reproduce with Swipe by opening an external link with, for example, a floating browser like Flynx, returning to Swipe app i can't scroll well, same behaviour as your. I noticed that to the dev and it comes with a fix, but in the same time i had an update from Google Webview (Beta) in the Play Store, so i can't say who was the guilty one., but I don't have this problem now.
I make these statements because both Swipe for Facebook, Chrome Brtowser and Amazon use html wrapper/webview, but i can be wrong.
I just received the instruction to update webview from the amazon support.
Well ... I oped out the beta program, reinstalled webview and now I am fine
I have read your post to late. But you are mentioning webview too, so I think it is all about webview. Do you use the beta too?
Conclusion for me:
WebView Beta was the culprit. Reinstalling the stable fixed it for me.

It happens with beta chrome and webview. If an item is selected it will scroll back to that item. It has to stay in the viewport. Just deselect the item to fix it.

Is Android P DP2 stable enough for daily driver?

I really want to get the beta. If people are running it, is it stable enough for daily use? Thanks
I've been using it for a few days now. I've not had and crashes or major issues. The only issues I've experienced are the recent apps screen sometimes not responding to touch when using gesture navigation (hit the home button and try again fixes) and the screen brightness is stupidly bright. Like really stupidly bright. I use it on the lowest setting all the time. Even with the slider at about 10% the screen is way too bright for me.
It is very stable, no major issues....just a few glitches like no weather in lock screen.
Yes, even dp1 was very good for my usage...
I agree that it is very stable for its age. If you use the Nova Launcher, you will not see apps in the drawer right now.
So from the sound of it, it would pass for daily driver. I rely on my phone for work heavily and want to make sure I can get by with the beta because I'm dying to try the new version
For me.... Yes. For others.... Maybe not. I can tell you it is very solid.
I am finding it to be quite solid. No issues at all so far after a few days. Battery life seems good too.

It's been usable without any crashes, reboots, or shutdowns. But given that it just came out yesterday, using it only for one day doesn't really give an idea if it's stable enough for everyday usage. A week of usage would give a better idea as phone/app usage can alter per day and cause some issues.
It's just silly to label something as "stable" after running it for less than 24 hours.
Hows the mic on recording with android P?
Mines been going pretty well... I'm using it as my daily driver. Only issues is a rare freeze when trying to switch apps. Shutting off the screen fixed it for me. And once the Bluetooth wouldn't connect properly to my car...a restart fixed it. Battery and everything else has been good.

Daily driver ready? Sure.. I had to bail due to some unforseen issues with a few core apps that I depend on. Sounds silly, but my visual voicemail with AT&T is important. A few other apps are acting a fool but nothing major. Just found a few things a bit wonky, if that's the right word? I'll flash again tonight though, it's what I do! See if I can figure out what's going on with the visual voicemail app. On 8.1 it just 'verifies' my info with AT&T via a text. On P it asks for a PIN which I enter, but it never does much else. Interesting!! Way too far off to complain to ATT though...
If you use Outlook and OneDrive, you might have issues. Can't open either and just get crashes.

I dont use Outlook, but OneDrive works fine for me. Maybe try uninstall/re-install, or clear app data.
I rarely use the MS app though, I prefer to just use Solid Explorer to access OneDrive.
I am having great experience with P beta..getting a dope battery life too..for a beta build! But the only issue i have is.. Snapchat crashes as hell! Leaving that..very good one as a daily driver..and very smooth too!
It's been very good for me. No app crashes except for Snapchat, which can be fixed relatively painlessly through a clear data and relogin, especially with autofill. I've also updated it to the latest beta that they updated on May 9th. No other apps have FC'd so far, but then again you may be using different ones. All the basic functionality works fine, camera, settings, etc. Only hiccup sometimes is the new multitasking setup will occasionally throw up a small stutter, but it quickly fixes itself.
The only issues I've noticed so far, and they're not that bad:
1) Bug with the Nova app drawer. You have to use "Card" or "Vertical Scrolling" to get your icons to appear, otherwise they're invisible (but still "clickable"). It's obviously a Nova Launcher "bug" and not a Android "P" problem though. The stock Launcher (and many other 3rd party launchers) work perfectly.
2) For me, the "upcoming alarm" appearing on the lock screen or at the top of the new quick tiles menu make no sense on my phone. The upcoming alarm on the lock screen always shows the current time + 10 minutes (For example if its' 9:04PM, the upcoming alarm will show 9:14pm) In the quick tiles menu, the next alarm always shows "00:00am" or "06:00am" randomly. The alarms work normally. Cosmetic bug
Can someone confirm they're experiencing the same problem?
3) Here and there, you'll notice the animations can be sluggish and not as smooth as with Oreo, the screen takes a little bit longer to turn on and unlocking the phone with the fingerprint scanner is a little bit slower than with Oreo. It's not unbearable though, just noticeable
4) I have an "iBaby" monitor in my son's room and from time to time, the app will FC right after launching, but will launch normally 2 seconds later. I'll blame the app for that and not Android.
Otherwise, battery life is great, the phone is very stable (no FCs on Android processes and 99,999% of the apps I use), it feels fast (except for some sluggish animations I mentioned before), phone calls work, camera works great, Quick Charge works, Google Cast / Chromecast work, no major issues so far
Overall, it's pretty stable for an early beta and I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it a lot. All the small refinements it comes with already makes it superior to Oreo imo despite its beta status. Can't wait to give the DP3 a try next month
Samsung Gear doesn't work
Very good for me so far. Only been a day, but so far am actually liking it better than 8.1.0! Nothing making me feel that I'll go back.
Only thing - when I use Action Launcher, the back button never disappears from the navigation bar - even when on the home screen. Guess it perceives the phone as still having an app active.
Ah well, making me give stock launcher another chance - though I miss my covers and shutters ?

[US BETA 3][ZSL5] Official Android 10/UI 2 BETA for the US unlocked Note 10+ (N975U)

READ THE OP FIRST BEFORE POSTING!!
This thread is for discussing bugs, issues, work around, and suggestions for the beta for the US models. Please no discussion of the international models. There's already a thread for that, and I don't want to confuse bugs/fixes for the wrong model.
If you have the international model (N975F), please see @henklbr 's thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...laxy-note10-sm-n975f-official-oneui2-t3987433
Stay on topic. This thread is to discuss issues with the beta, not how to get it. There's already a couple threads for that as well. The basic step is to sign up for the beta in the Members App, or download the OTA from firmware.science. For further assistance, please see @tlbland0426 's thread at:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...available-note-10-unlocked-sm-n975u1-t4002783
When posting your issues, please state what software version you're on (current one is 2ZSL5), and if you did a dirty flash, restored data, or did a complete clean install.
I know this isn't an official channel to report to Samsung, but bugs discussed here can be forwarded to Samsung in the beta app.
Please read the OP and the entire thread before posting.
Been running the beta (ZSK3) for less than 24 hours. I did officially register, and started to download the OTA through device settings, but it requires WiFi. I was at a hotel and the WiFi there was achingly slow, so I went to firmware.science so I could just download the OTA with LTE, then manually flashed it through recovery.
I performed a clean install. Factory data reset, flash OTA, then another factory data reset. Then I set it up from scratch. I didn't restore anything.
Here is my experience so far:
Pros:
1. Dark Mode - I love the native system-wide dark mode.
2. Space below keyboard - I use gestures and GBoard, and I like how now even third party keyboards are pushed up a bit, and you have the keyboard switcher and close keyboard buttons.*
3. Charge Status Toggle - Ability to turn off the charge status. (Thank you Samsung!)
4. Fingerprint Icon Toggle - Ability to turn the fingerprint reader icon on or off.*
5. Improved Biometrics - Fingerprint reader seems to work MUCH better now. Even with the last few updates on Pie, my FP reader was almost worthless. Now it's nearly flawless.
Cons/bugs:
1. Brightness Slider - No longer able to display brightness control on top in the notification shade. I use the brightness slider a lot, and it's frustrating having to fully expand the notification shade when I want to adjust it.
2. Gestures - The new gestures aren't very intuitive. I prefer the gestures from Pie. I know I can still use those, but I'm really trying to get used to this style, since it's what Google will push everyone toward anyway. This system of gestures is Google fault not Samsung's.
3. Home screen Jank - I occasionally get issues with the home screen freezing. Seems to be when I'm having issues with the gestures, particularly getting Google Assistant to activate via swipe.
4. Syncing issues - There's several Samsung apps/services that will not sync. Samsung Pass, Samsung Internet. Samsung Contacts, and a few others. Under Samsung account settings, when trying to sync them, they say "syncing" then change to "Couldn't sync." This occurs in WiFi and cellular.
5. Disney+ - Not compatible from the Play Store. I was able to install it, log in, and watch movies with a work around, so I know it works. Not sure if this is Disney's problem, or Samsung's. I know it works on other devices running Android 10, so who knows.
6. Netflix - this could've been my issue. I was in the Netflix beta program, and Netflix installed, but kept telling me to update, then telling me it wasn't compatible. I had to leave the beta, and sideload an older version from apkmirror. Working fine now.
7. WiFi issues - It connects to WiFi just fine, but some apps wouldn't load or allow me to sign in while on WiFi. See below.
8.. VUDU - It would initially force close. I deleted and sideloaded an older version that would freeze on the load screen. Updated that version through the Play Store and it wouldn't force close, but would freeze. I was on WiFi and when I turned it off VUDU loaded. (WiFi was pulling 250 Mbps down, so it wasn't the issue).
9. Hulu - When I tried to log in, it kept saying couldn't reach server. Again, was on WiFi in a restaurant pulling 250 Mbps down. But once I shut off WiFi, it signed right in.
10. Full Immersive Mode - This option is still missing in Samsung Internet and most video apps. It works just fine in YouTube and Disney+. We should have the option of using full Immersive Mode at least in the internet browser. As far as movies, make the rounded corners on the black bar less rounded.
Disney+ app workaround. See below.

Download all 4 files from here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-QC8B-Cic3gU00CF3u1pYvP-zWZ663nG
Install the SAI.apk
After that has been installed open that app and then select Install APKs
Select the 3 other apk files that you downloaded then click Select (3) and it will install the working Disney+ app

You actually can put it back on top, you just need to set this.
Just press the 3 dots when pulling the dropdown menu, then select the quick layout panel
No issues with Disney+ and Netflix either

You actually can put it back on top, you just need to set this.
Just press the 3 dots when pulling the dropdown menu, then select the quick layout panel
No issues with Disney+ and Netflix either

Thank you!!! Not sure why they hid that option.
So you were able to download and install Disney+ from the Play Store while on the beta?

Yes no issues with that, but i cannot remember if i installed the apps before i upgraded...
One of the only real issues I'm having is with the new gestures, mainly the recent apps gesture. When using it straight from the home screen it works like 50/50 for me and sometimes causes OneUI Home to crash but using it when you have an app open it seems to work much better.
Edit: (2ZSK3 obviously). I got the OTA through the beta registration and had some issues because I had #hex installed so I did a factory reset. I did however restore everything from Samsung Cloud afterwards.

It still shows as incompatible in the Play Store for me. Go to the Play Store and look for Disney+. Below the unsintall/open buttons, tell me if you see a message in red lettering that the app is now incompatible with your device.

Yes, the recents gesture from home screen is very wonky. I had some home crashes too when I first installed and set everything up, and I actually wound up doing another factory reset to get rid of them.

I have been running the U1 firmware on my Verizon Note 10+ since the day it launched. It retains wifi calling, volte calling, and visual voicemail. The only thing missing that I've found so far is native video calling in the phone app but that wasn't a big deal to me as I never use it anyways.
Do you mind sharing how you were able to get Disney+ installed and working?

How'd I miss that! Thank you!
Also found doing factory reset after installing this that whatsapp would no longer verify my number.
So today I sent several feedback reports to Samsung through the OneUI beta app. Please keep the feedback coming. In my experience with past betas, Samsung really does listen to our feedback when it's directed through the proper channels.
Besides the new animations I don't see anything really worth writing home about. It's beta so there's quite a bit of bugs. Android auto on my android 10.25 screen exhibit a buzz and audio moving from car to phone sporadically. The new gesture navigation is not as easy to use. I much prefer using Pie control (which is not 100% compatible now) for launching home, recent, and back. One handed operation to swipe diagonally up to shrink the screen. Diagonally down to bring top of the screen down. I've also seen more battery drain and on screen fingerprint isn't as accurate anymore. Beta 2 is supposed those 2 things. The one UI lock up is also being addressed.
I'm hoping beta 2 will soon be releases for US unlocked. Otherwise, I think I will switch back but dreading that as it will factory reset my device.

Beta 2 was released this morning finally. I agree this is one of the buggiest betas I've tried in the last few years. I'm the opposite of you with the fingerprint reader though. It was almost useless on Android 9. On this beta it's much faster and more accurate. Works nearly 100% of the time for me. Although it seems more sensitive to the screen being dirty.

I took the OTA this morning and it seems to be running ok so far. The screen flickering was something I saw alot on beta 1 and that seems to be corrected. My battery life was pretty good on beta 1 also so I will have to see how this performs. Thought it was interesting it has the December security patch already.

My lack of patience and frustration with beta 1 got to me and downgraded to 9 over the weekend. However I did not deregistered for the beta just in case I want to try future betas. The one most frustrating for me was audio output going from car to phone and vice versa when using android auto. I did report it so maybe it will get addressed in beta 3.

You can also restore apps in Smart Switch if you had backed it up on Pie.
