Hangouts not receiving all incoming SMS messages - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently hangouts has stopped receiving a lot of my incoming SMS messages. I had been using hangouts for a few months with no problems and after flashing a new ROM I stopped receiving all of my messages. I find that they all seem to come through when I use the stock messaging app, or at least I hope they all come through, and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling hangouts with no luck.
Has anyone else experienced this before?

i had an issue with MMS. i updated my rom then got 30+ messages that i previously missed at once when i booted with the new rom.

Both SMS and MMS work if they manage to come through. I also tried doing a full wipe and then flashing an update to the ROM I'm using which did not fix the problem.
Could the problem be due to having hangouts replace the stock messaging app through the google apps package that I flashed?

This problem seems fairly common on the Nexus 5 forums. Does anyone know of a workaround other than using the stock messaging app?

I've similar problem to, I sent a text message to my gf and the text she gets its different from what I sent
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app

I'm still having this problem. I updated my ROM a while ago and everything seemed to be working perfectly. However, I later tried using hangouts for a video call and got stuck in a continuous call. Upon ending the call by clearing the data for hangouts, I stopped receiving text messages. This was two days ago. I still get texts when I use the default messaging app as my primary SMS app

Rooted Phone - Now i get 2 messages at a time

Anyone else having issues
When i get a message if it from a mobile phone then i only get it once..
But if it from t-mobile telling me my weekly allowence, or from my work that send systems problem auto via SMS i get them twice...
well wierd. only happened since i rooted it...
are you using other than stock sms messenger.. like Handcent?
If so.. you need to go into the stock messenger
and turn of notification!
and I think off the auto retrieve messages too.
yer i use handcent
but what i am trying to say -
If i have just handcent running - i get 2 message the same
if i have both handcent and stock running, i get 4 messages the same....
if i just have stock then i get 2 messages.....
I just seem to get 2 messages at the same time...
Somebody else must had had this problem?

Yup that is what is happening to me too.....
I am on t-mobile too. maybe it is them that is the problem..
i even decided to install offical rom which has now locked my phone so i think it is about time to move on to a different phone..
Same here but I am in Greece/Vodafone. All SMS received correctly, except alerts from bank accounts (from 3 different banks, so no specific bank's problem), which I receive twice. Pretty annoying. I use Modaco's ROM, waiting for Android 2.1...
Same here in Italy: I get twice the SMSs from Google Calendar notification service only.
+1. In Norway. And I am on VillainROM, so it doesn't have anything to do with ROMs either, obviously...
hi, Thailand got this problem too
i've got double sms from the operator and other system messages
even got this problem before my HERO was rooted :[
I:'m having the same problem and I think that it's a problem on the Handcent side. It only occurs when I get a text from someone using the email gateway for sms ([email protected]). It started for me after installing the latest update to Handcent. I'm also now getting Handcent notifications when I get a voicemail using Sprint VVM, this to started after the last update to Handcent, so I think that they have some work to do. I really love Handcent, but this is getting annoying, I've tried other SMS programs (ChompSMS), but they just don't do it for me. I guess the only to do no is wait to see if the developers fix the problems.

htc magic text messages

hi,
I recently encountered a problem with receiving text messages on my HTC Magic (32A)...
I am able to receive calls, send messages, but I don't receive any.
My mobile operator works fine, there are no delays...
Any possible solution?
thanks
ive read that some people have had luck fixing this problem by deleting all sms threads out of your messaging program.. apparently if you have heaps of sms (1000+) you can run out of room to store new sms...
also you can try installing a 3rd party app like handcent and see if that helps..
also a factory reset couldnt hurt as well if the problem persists (im assuming your running stock rom)

sms texts always in new threads sent and received

hey
i have a wierd problem with texts
every message i receive goes into its own thread instead of updating the current persons text thread..
i just changed rom's so backed up my sms's with sms backup and restore. , after restoring i noticed that all my sent messeges and received messages to people there in 2 different threads for each person one thread for sent one for received....
so i thought it might have been a dodgy backup... so i viewed the backup but everything looks ok nothing is split into 2 threads .... each person has 1 thread
so i thought it might be the sms backup not being compaitable with my new rom (dragon j/b 1.7) so i deleted my sms's ALL of them and started from scratch....
but again i just received a text from a friend i replied to that and when he replied again it went into a new thread......
anyone help?
checked my contacts they are all linked (ie, facebook....google.... accounts into one contact file)
anyone? can't seem to find info anywhere

I had the same issue with Dragon 1.6 when I installed with AOSP SMS. Reinstalled the ROM, this time with stock MMS AND the issue was resolved.

tried that this morning didn't work still same problem
so weird thing happened here.. when i installed the Go SMS app, my native AOSP SMS app started stacking the messages into one contact... somehow the GO SMS app interfered with the AOSP sms app... so i just gonna live it installed.. hide it.. and wait for a fix one the AOSP SMS app... i hope this somehow helps to figure out the problem.

[Q] [Sprint] Hangouts problem and Voicemail issue

So I have 2 problems.
Hangouts:
Can not send or receive MMS (I have turned on SMS integration).
Voice mail:
Voice mail app keeps telling me I have an update to take, but when I tell it to update nothing happens. I've force stopped and cleared data on it, and rebooted.
2nd Voice mail problem, I'm not getting voice mails delivered to the app, I have to call in to get them.
Thoughts?

For the second problem, it's because Hangouts is snagging the text notification before VVM can get to it. Turning off SMS integration in Hangouts solves this problem)
So I've turned off Hangouts SMS integration until this problem is resolved. I've seen the same problem in the N5 forums as well today.
Still leaves me with the VVM won't update problem, we'll see what I can do about that.
yes, broken mms is now a known issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541409 I'm not sure about your other issues as my phone took the vvm update with no problem.
Broken only on Sprint now it seems... Default is working with other variants as of last 2 updates.
This is resolved with the update released yesterday. Just bringing closure to the discussion.

MMS not working after a few days on any stock based rom.

Hello,
I've been having this issue on stock and any stock based rom. Currently on WETA 5.0.7 on a US996 unlocked.
MMS works fine at bootup, but after a few days, pictures are not downloading. Using google messenger, shows downloading and never does. The LG app doesn't even show that an image was sent and needs to be fetched.
I tried disabling/enabling data to no avail. Only solution I've found is to reboot the phone and then force the download.
Any ideas of culprit or solutions?
Thanks

Same issue here, it also keeps converting almost all of my sms to mms. Any added emoji automatically changes it to mms. Most the time all my sms sent to me come thru as mms. Tried multiple SMS apps. So far android messages seems to kinda work.

I doubt we'll get an answer since people probably flash their phones every other day and reboot it!

Thanks..will give it a shot when it bugs out!
Sigh, I too have the same issue. A reboot fixes it. When it was acting up I tried Chomp SMS and chomp didn't even detect any of the pending messages. Maybe I didn't wait long enough? Anyway I rebooted and then Google message picked up the mms messages. Super frustrating LG! Of all the various phones I've had in the past, I never encountered this issue...
