maybe you have logined on several client, the hangouts will notify only one time!

I have the same issue across multiple accounts and devices. all unique accounts. all on latest stable software
Galaxy Nexus
Nexus 4
Nexus 10

Same here beyond annoying.

Notification Issues
I noticed that my lack of notifications was only happening with one contact. Everyone else who messaged me would come through just fine, but my wife's messages would come through without a peep. I finally did figure out what was wrong and wanted to share that here in case it helps any of you.
Specifically, although we'd installed and used Hangouts on her Nexus, in the Gmail desktop site, she hadn't click the "Try Hangouts Now" button (left click on your account's picture in the Gmail buddy list). Once I clicked that, all of her messages now resulted in notifications on my devices. Long story short, if you're having issues with notifications, see if the person messaging you is still using "Talk". A bit silly that Google didnt move her account over to Hangouts once she installed the mobile app, but oh well.
Hope this helps.

can I ask a stupid question - is hangouts allowing for text messaging now?

Its supposed to pop up on all of your devices and when you open it on another device it is supposed to clear them in the other devices

I just confirmed that "Hangouts" does allow instant messaging - it does not hit your text messages (but it does hit your data). the other person must also have "hangouts" installed too in order for you to communicate with them via this app

thanks for clearing some things up for certain users! but is anyone else experiencing this problem besides us.

I am experiencing this too, but seem to have noticed a trend. I do get notifications but only on the device that I most recently used to send the message (not both devices like it should). For example at 1 PM, I send a hangout message to another person from my Galaxy S3, they respond at 1:30 PM and it notifies my GS3 but not my Nexus 7. At 1:45 PM I then respond to their previous message from my Nexus 7, and they respond at 2 PM with only my Nexus 7 receiving the notification. Not sure if this is just coincidence but that's what I've noticed so far.

I'm on a Nexus 4 CM 10.1 (initially RC2, now most recent nightly) w/ Nova Launcher running and get no notifications that I've been messaged. In fact, if I chat with someone via Gmail and then check in the hangouts phone app, it will typically not include the chat that was done on my desktop. This is really irritating. Uninstalled updates back to talk for now.

it is really irritating.

I had same problem with Hangouts, it coming after upgrading to 4.4.4
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
to do this you have to go to twrp , mount system and use file manager inside twrp
2. Got it working with :
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.

[Q] Not getting voicemail notification

Hi,
Hope someone can help, I am running the Offical EE03 posted by k0nane and so far love the rom but running into a couple of errors and wondered if anyone had any thoughts
First problem and maybe the only important one, if i get a voicemail my phone does not notify me nor does any show up in the Voicemail app. Only way is to check the voicemail manually but sometimes i don't realize that I have a voicemail for days, even weeks. If anyone knows a way to initialize it I would be appriciative.
Other problem I have found but not nearly as pressing is I can't be heard if I use speakerphone or a headset with a mic, I can however use just regular ear buds leave phone in lap and they can hear me just fine
Why don't you update to ef02? That may help. You are still using the first GB leak.

Was having this issue on everything above ec05 as well.. might work for ya
turn off wifi turn on 4g
send a vvm to [email protected]
it seems that it doesnt know where to go on 3g, and CANT go on wifi but on 4g it connects and activates and provisions fine.
Thanks, guess i'll have to install new version cause it worked and it also didnt, it notifies me that there is a message waiting but VM app can't download it
Having the same issue with EF02. I tried the activate email address but I just get the message that voicemail failed to provision.

through a bit of googling it appears to be related to using a non stock messaging app. I'm surprised more people aren't reporting it. It caused some major problems at work today for me.
Apparently Go Sms Pro has a toggle to make it only handle incoming messages but it's not where it's supposed to be (Settings-Receive Settings).
Using stock Samsprint bubble mms and no go. /shrug
Didn't know mms app handled the activation voice mail response.
If I get some time will test the aosp mms app. See if that makes a diff.

Hmm, yeah I'm on Bonsai EC05. This has to have something to do on Sprint's side.
Ok, for a few users it appears to be related to new settings in Handcent and Go SMS
http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/305100#305100
For Go SMS users the July 1 update has a setting that automatically disables the notifications in the default messaging app. You can find it under "Receive Settings"
After you've disabled it try composing a voicemail to yourself and all the remaining ones should download.
Those on stock, I'm still not sure what's causing it but maybe try composing a voicemail to yourself and see if that fixes it?

[Q] Vibrating for emails.

Hi
I can't figure out how to turn this off. Every other android phone didn't vibrate when I received an email. Would only play a notification sound if it was on loud. But the nexus keeps vibrating on every single email I receive. How to turn this off? But still receive notifications

I think its a bug with the latest gmail. It did it on my Gnex after the 4.2 update as well.

Having the same problem with the Email (not Gmail) app. I've set vibrate to off in the email settings, but when I have the phone on vibrate it vibrates regardless. Driving me bonkers.

From my side, it looks like it was working fine after the update, but as soon as I changed the notification settings in an app, the bug appeared for that particular app.

One person did mention reinstalling the app.
Comment 12 by [email protected], Nov 14, 2012
no way to fix,
killing app,
sign out and sign in again,
restart phone,
reinstall 4.2,
killing all google service and restart again,
tried all possibilities but no solution,
There is only one way, if u have "Stock 4.1.2 JZO54K" installing OTA pack
"http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_takju/e587de13bf8a.signed-takju-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.e587de13.zip"
no problem about vibration or anything else

But no one in that entire thread mentioned clearing app data. Now, if you reinstall the whole damn stock ROM with the linked zip (don't just don't, no need to be flashing radio to fix an app bug), it will of course clear app data as part of the install process, whereas just reinstalling the app over the old one won't.
So... did anyone who is having this issue, which supposedly is everyone (personally I've not noticed it because I have my phone set to vibrate when I get emails anyway), try clearing the app data?
I reported this here as well back on the 20th: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34513360
Figured it out!
Looks like the vibrate check box is just the wrong way around,
when un checked it is on, when checked it is off!
I was wanted to have them on and had the box checked and wasn't getting them, now I have unchecked the box it is vibrating on receiving a message
Unfortunately even with the latest update, my Gmail still demands to vibrate on new messages even when I have this set to off. Am I doing something wrong?
Weird its working for me. I went to settings > sound > notification conversion > unchecked it. Now when I receive an email on my gmail phone does not vibrate. Btw, i am using PA latest ROM.

[Q] Facebook Messenger SMS integration/Threading

Hi, just a quick question.
I've got the new Facebook Messenger app with working SMS and chat heads.
I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the Facebook Messages would be threaded with SMS, so green bubble, blue bubble, etc. If you're offline, it'll send a text, etc.
However, if I'm talking to someone and then choose to SMS, I can create two chat heads for the same person. Is there away to combine these contacts so SMS and Facebook messages become threaded?
Cheers,

I heard someone else complaining of this, so I imagine they keep them separate on purpose but I can't say for sure.
Hmm, I don't know why I can't get it working. I even reinstalled it but there's no option for chat heads anywhere.

I managed to get it working perfectly but I'm rooted, running CM 10.1. Tap and hold a message, a popup comes up and then you hit 'pop out chat head'.

Can't see pics with chompSMS?

Does anyone know how to fix this? I have to switch to stock messenger to see the pic and then when I go back to chomp it will then show.

Try handcent SMS. I've had problems with chomp in the past and always came back to handcent. The devs are really good about fixing any issues.

Try Textra...it's made by the same people, and it's fast, fluid, and completely replaced my stock messaging app (I can freeze the stock app with no issues). I've had no issues with MMS in it, like I have with most other 3rd party SMS apps.
+1 for textra I use it as my daily SMS app. I was having problems with other 3rd party SMS apps I would take a picture but it would only send sideways it was stupid with textra it doesn't do that and its light so it makes it fast.

OK, so I'm trying out textra and have made it my default SMS. I'm not receiving notifications or the pop up. I'm getting them in the stock messaging though. Am I doing something wrong? Help is appreciated. Thanks.

It's a common problem w chomp i fixed it like so...begin by whining your application cache for chomp and stock messenger. ..
Go to your mobile settings and copy the mms settings or whatever...then input those to the chomp app...i also had to enable in the stock messenger "auto retrieve mms"....then in chomp disable that feature that says something like b preserve resolution"... Once all is done reboot and have someone send you a pic. It should work. Give it a few hours i knew mine wouldn't work right away but now it's golden.
No Textra Notification
This happened to me as well. I found that if I have any additional third party SMS apps besides Textra installed, then Textra will not notify me of a new message. Also check your stock messaging app and make sure notifications are turned off there as well.

Lucky you, I've never gotten Sliding Messaging to fully work with MMS, no matter what combination of settings I've tried. It's the reason I jumped ship to Textra (although to be honest I've been using Hangouts for my SMS lately...the only features I'm really missing are the pop-up replies and dark theme).

Message+ (Verizon messenger) not receiving text group messages from iPhone users

I use Verizon's Message+ as my default text messaging app. When I send a group message to others, I receive the replies (from iPhone users) as a DOWNLOAD. If I click on it, it says Downloading but nothing comes through.
I have read that some people have this problem if they switched over from an iPhone and were using iMessenger. I've always had an Android, never an iPhone.
I have tried using stock messenger and same thing happens. It appears this started when I starting using the 6P, didn't have this issue with previous phones.
Do you have to hit a download button for videos and photos sent to you?
No.

Huh, odd. My thought was that perhaps MMS auto-retrieve is disabled since group messages are usually MMS. If not, I'm afraid I have no idea.

Auto-reply is active. I'm wondering if it could be:
1) an updated version of iOS?
2) Nexus 6P and Verizon not working together nicely?
There is already a thread on this topic. Verizon messages is screwed up in the latest update. You need to find the apk for version 6.02 for messenger to work with MMS.
Great! Thanks for the info.
