Unable to send messages - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Just got my moto x yesterday. After setting it up, everything was working fine. This morning I tried to send a hangout message and text message using moto voice and it wouldn't send. I used the command "OK Moto X, send text to (so and so). It would ask what's the message? I would tell it " hey what's up " (for example) and then it goes to a Google search with blank results. Everything else works fine (music on spotify, YouTube, etc.) Its simply not working with the voice to text commands. Any help would be appreciated as I looked all over the phone, and on Google and couldn't find answer. I also attached a screenshot of the behavior

You Are Not Alone

Nope. Same behavior. If I do (OK moto x send hangout/text message to so and so "hey whatsup") it reads it and asks me if I want to send, I say yes and it shows " yes" in the search bar like I've attached in the screenshot

problems whit reciving sms on samsung google Nexus S

Hello,
I have problems with receiving sms on my Nexus S.
before I got up a little icon at the top of the screen when I got a new sms, then I could go to read it when I had time or wanted.
Now it will sms up in a small black box at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds and then disappear again. when it is actually gone for always.
what is wrong? have tried to find out if there is something wrong with my settings, but can not find anything there. so there have been some days now.
hope someone can help me.
Add to that all the sms I send are stored.
Also adds that the MMS will appear as it did before. so my problem is only with SMS
Are you using Google talk?

Oops. I meant Google voice. If you are not then I don't really know what to suggest. I was using Google voice and it took over my messaging until I uninstalled it and deactivated it on my account.

[Q] Problem with Google Now

This only started recently, but I can't send SMS through Google Now voice commands, which is nice to be able to do while driving. So maybe Google is trying to kill me? Anyway, whenever I tell it to text someone, it tells me "No SMS app installed" I couldn't find anyone else who had this issue.
should I roll back to a previous version of Now, find a new SMS app, or find a new way to send text using voice commands?
UPDATE: Using a different SMS app does not work, I installed 5 different apps and even tried Hangouts, that isn't the problem
same here
I just started having the same issue on samsung gs3. watching this post to see if anyone resolves.
I've got the same problem here with note 1

Ok Google sms messages fail to send.

I've had this problem for a while and I i can't actually recall if it ever worked. Now with a Android Wear watch the issue is extremely noticeable since it hinders the use of one of its main features.
I have OK google from any screen and even when locked but for some reason when i tell it to send an sms it will do it BUT the recipient never receives it.
It creates the sms on my phone but the recipient never gets it.
Maybe its my texting app but i have used Stock, Google, Hangouts, Textra. None of them seem to send through the "OK google command."
Any one able to offer some insight on this issue?
If some one has it working on their note maybe list what sms app you are using.
update: When I use google now it appears to be sending to the right number but it has a "011" in front of it which is why it isnt working.

Text to Speech Message App

Wife and I just received our MXPE. Using it with stock apps installed.
After setting up my Moto X (Voice). I am wanting a speech to text messaging App.
In other words, using my phrase to wake up MXPE, Telling it I want to send a Text Msg, and then recording the text message and then sending it.
What do I need to perform this function?
What Message/Text app can be used? Stock Msg App, Hangouts or other?
App must be commonly used by the most people i.e. Not WahtsApp (Limited only to WhatsApp user)
Thanks for this great forum and people who maintain it.

Do exactly what type said.
Say your launch phrase (OK google now), say who you want to text (text Jane Doe), dictate your message (let's buy pizza for dinner tonight), at that point it will use your default text messaging app to send the message.
If there is a long pause between telling it who to text and the message it will ask what the message is. If you turn on one of the assist modes it will tell you when the person messages back and read the message they send back to you with an option to reply.

Yeah, the Verizon face sucks, not much customization but you should be able do it in the android wear app on the phone, works for me. Just remove the message app tab and re add it ( first install the android messanger)
Use different face, watchmaker is great
Hi, I was able to change faces and such, but still unable to send messages with the android app and message+ is disabled. Also my microphone seems to not work, ok google doesn't work and a voice call the other person could not hear me.
kinda a pain. thx
I struggled with it for a bit as well. so what i had to do was do a factory reset (after updating wear 2.0). then somehow, i paired it to my phone, but skipped the rest of the initial setup stuff it wants you to do like giving it your phone number and setting up vzw message. first thing i did was disable all of the system apps like "phone" and "vzw messages" and/or wear24 app. Never having opened vzw messages, i downloaded google messages from play store. It works great now. google now works perfectly. i don't try to make phone calls off of it so can't help you with that part. but make sure you turn the cellular radio off after every reboot (just to save battery).
this is an amazing whatch for someone like me who does not *want* to have an lte watch. I just wanted a bluetooth only watch with a high res screen, big battery, modern wear processor for $80 shipped. - nfc and heartrate and swappable bands would be nice, but oh well. It gives me all of my notifications so i don't have to take out a phone during meetings and it's much snappier than my urbane was. - nfc, heartrate, and swappable bands would be nice, but oh well.
I've disabled msg+ and installed android messenger.
I can receive texts, but the only way I can send a text is via google assistant because even though the app is installed, the icon wont show in the app drawer.
But after I go through the voice process (send txt to blah blah blah), it errors out on sending it.
I've granted all permissions
Since there are not many Wear24 threads here I will see if any of you can help.
I agree with mistermojorizin - for the price it is now if is a good watch. My issues is this:
I want to use LTE and have it working fine. I can send and response to messages from Message+ (ugh), but when I use google assistant to send a message - which I have done often with other watches - I says sending with watch and hangs on a spinning wheel.
Anyone else see this and have a suggestion? If I could change the app that Assistant uses to send the message to Message+ that might solve the issue, but I haven't see how to do that.

If you try and send text message but it says send from watch and just sits there spinning, you need to disable VZW from sim info. That will also help battery life too. Only thing not working on my watch is the mic in a call. I'm using it with BT/WiFi only with my P2XL on T-Mobile.
I have installed Android Messenger and it works for me with the voice to text, I like that one a lot.
The watch in general is great, I wish that the speaker was louder (as I thought that it will be) and the NFC to be working. I paid $94 CAD for it, you can't even get a used Moto360 first gen in good condition for this price, never mind a high end device.
The band could be replaced, if you don't have Verizon for a provider why would anyone care for the antenna anyway? I have a Moto360 first gen and this is better with the Android Wear 2.0 and bigger battery, after 11 hours of moderate usage I am at 51% of battery remainig which is pretty decent.
Happy so far

Thanks for the siminfo trick. I think that might have done the job for getting voice assistant to use android messages instead of Verizon messages+. Before that, I could respond to text messages but just couldn't initiate a message using voice.
I also disabled the Verizon apps where I could. And I "deleted" Verizon as a carrier altogether (in the siminfo area). The other things I did to get going (and not wait for the system/google updates) was to sideload android wear 2.8, google play services, and finally the google app using ADB on my iMac. It needed all three it appeared.
Here's the command for ADB:
adb connect [IP of your watchort] (I didn't use a port)
adb install -r [app.apk]
Liking the wear24 quite a bit so far as compared to my old Moto 360 1st gen which is still going strong after a battery replacement. Kind of wish the watch diameter was as wide as the Moto 360. I'll do a video comparison of the two soon (makethistechwork.com).

Thank you for the info! I'm using this watch with a Pixel XL and Tmobile just like you. However, even after disable version from the sim info, it still doesn't work. I have the same issue as before where it says that could not connect to a phone. I've included some screenshots showing my sim-info to illustrate what I'm talking about. Kindly suggest anything else that I can do since I've tried everything including factory resets.Thanks!
After updating the wear app and android messages, I can see previews of all my text threads, but when I tap the threads, messages crashes. Has anyone else seen this with all the recent updates?
EDIT: After futzing with permissions for a few seemingly related apps, Messages no longer crashes on me. I could swear I had already tried all of the changes I made this last round, but maybe I missed one every other time. If anyone else runs into this, I'll be happy to share permission settings to see if it helps.

Sure. First, I'll mention that I have removed all of the VZ carrier information, as suggested in this thread, as I don't use nor plan to use VZ, so that may or may not have anything to do with it.
I also disabled Message+, the default text app, in system app settings. I did not touch permissions there.
On to permissions... I pretty much went with all or nothing, looking through system apps and messing with anything that might have to do with messaging...
Android Messages: All on
Phone: All on
Wear OS: All on except storage
As I said, I had reset the phone a few times, and the last time, directly off of reset, my order was: update Google and WearOS system apps, disable Message+, install Android Messages, change permissions, open Android Messages. I didn't try to open Messages until after checking permissions.
