So lately I have not been getting hangout notifications and it's driving me nuts. I have it paired to my android wear watch and 80% of the time it works fine but other times I get text messages and nothing, no buzz, not even a notification in my task manager letting me know I have a unread message, totally blank. It's not until I go into hangouts and I see the bold text that I know I got a message. Even when not paired to the watch,same thing, no buzz, sound, notificiaon icon, nothing until I open hangouts and see it.
Anyone else having this issue?? Driving me crazy and I already missed plans with friends because of it. Fully stock and on 6.0.1 as of a few days ago and still the problem.
Are you logged into hangouts on another device or computer? Also check to make sure you didn't snooze their notifications.

I had this issue. Try turning off wifi and see if it works. Mine did on cell data only. The messages would come into me on wifi, but I would just not get notified. I did a roll back on it and a re-install and it started working again normally. The first time I had this was on my Nexus 6. This is a LONG running hangouts problem ( various posts out there show it going back to 2012 ).

I use Google voice as my only phone number. Lately, whenever I get a text or a voicemail, it won't notify me. Even if I manually refresh, it still won't notify me. Background data is turned on and I have SMS messages turned off because I don't like getting 2 notifications. If I uninstall and reinstall it, it works fine for a time and then stops working again some time later. If I take out the battery and "hard" reboot, it will send all the messages that have been "hanging" to the phone again. Sometimes, I'll get texts/voicemails that are over a day old and I had no idea they were there.
This makes it where Google voice is pretty much useless to me, especially since I use it partially for work and if I'm missing voicemails, then I'm not servicing my students properly.
Any one else out there have this same problem?
I've had a similar situation with texts -- no notifications. I haven't received any voicemails recently, so I can't comment there. I was glad to be able to avoid having all texts to GV resent as texts to my phone, but I may have to do that, at least temporarily.
So I have Gmail app and WordFeud app on my phone and just recently, the notifications have stopped. I'll log into Gmail on my computer and see that I have 2 or 3 new items from as long 4 or 5 hours ago and have not received any notificaiton on my phone about. On my phone, I'll go into Gmail, hit refresh, and then the mail shows.
With WordFeud, I go in and see that it's been "my turn" for hours but I never received a notification. I've checked and verified that background data and auto-sync is on, but regardless, no changes have been made to my phone between the time when I always received notifications and now, when I don't receive them. All SMS and MMS messages come through right on time with notifications, so I have no idea what's happened with Gmail and WordFeud.
Anybody else run into these issues in the past, or now? Thanks for any advice!
One more thing, which is odd... I've noticed that when I wake up in the morning, like 6:30AM, I have Gmail and WordFeud notifications that must have came through overnight, but it's for new stuff, nothing I previously manually refreshed and deleted in Gmail for example. After that, I don't get Gmail or Wordfeud notifications for the rest of the day until the next morning. So, it seems like I get them once a day, which is sometime overnight. Weird, I know, I wish I knew what caused this...
nevermind on this guys... after some testing i was able to determine the root cause. it was due to a combination of having gtalk disabled and the wifi connection that i'm connected to at work. basically, with the wifi connection i have at work, gtalk can't connect to it. i turned off my work wifi connection, which turned 3G back on, and i was able to connect to gtalk. once connected to gtalk, push notifications began coming thru just fine.
i re-tested this by connecting back to my work wifi and this made gtalk disable automatically, as it could no longer stay connected. i sent myself a test email via my computer and it never came thru on my phone (unless i opened gmail and manually refreshed). turned off work wifi... 3G comes back on and gtalk auto connected and my (2nd test) email finally came thru on my phone!
i tested this with my wifi connection at home and gtalk connects to that just fine, so the main culprit of this entire post was the wifi connection at my work (some strong security i guess)! the great thing i took away from this is that, bottom line, in order to receive push notifications, gtalk must be enabled and connected!!
(figured i'd post all of this, not only for you guys or anyone that has an issue like this, but also so i can come back and read it if i ever forget what i tested!)
PEACE
I'm in the UK on O2 and today I sent some SMS and just noticed the last few were stuck at "Sending" and had been that way for hours. I deleted them and tried again. Same problem, regardless of the recipient. So I toggled Airplane mode on/off. Still no luck. So I rebooted. Once the phone came up I got two notifications along the lines of "Unable to send message". I can now send OK.
Now perhaps this was my network playing up but I'd been receiving SMS fine - and making calls - all day. I've never seen this behaviour before and the fact a reboot cleared it makes me wonder if it's a bug with the messaging app.
Has anyone else seen anything like this? Until today I'df been happily sending and receiving SMS with no issues since I got my N4 last Thursday.

I'm on AT&T here in the states and I send hundreds of texts a day and have not run into this problem at all. I had one delay with an MMS that sent about an hour after I had initially sent it but other than that, smooth sailing.

I ran into the same problem today. Rebooting your phone should get it back working. If not, enter your phone settings by dialing *#*#4636#*#*
Tap on Phone information and scroll down to SMSC:
Click on the Refresh button. You should see a number that looks like this: "+1206XXXX..."
This number is carrier specific.
Me too

Me too. Rebooting and updating smsc didn't help. I tried to undo my actions to the extent I could remember but to no avail. For instance, I had disabled various inbuilt services viz. Pinyin, Korean keyboard, cell broadcasting, exchange, email etc. Re-enabled. Zuk. I had uninstalled Contacts+, reinstalled. Again, nada.
But Contacts+ is able to send normal smss. That is definitely intriguing and I would love to figure it out. Can someone assist?
Hey folks, this issue has been present on my Droid 4 as well as my note 3 for a few months, regardless of what rom I am on. The problem is that my Fiance works in a medical radiation cancer treatment center, and there is absolutely no cell reception for her. Because of this, we use hangouts through the day.
If my phone has been untouched for, lets just say 1 hour, and she sends me a message, I get a notification. However, if I reply to her, and a few mins later she messages me back, I get no notifications. No sound, no notification bar pop up, nothing.
This is super frustrating, but it acts almost like a feature that has been implemented on purpose. I want it to pester me, and I want to know the moment I have a message. Otherwise, I am constantly unlocking my phone and checking out the hangouts screen.
Running Jasmine now, but this was a problem with stock as well.

I have this SAME EXACT problem. Couldnt figure it out. Me and my wife are using whatsapp for the time being.
I'm hoping somebody has experienced this before and found a fix and can help me out...
All day I've been struggling to send SMS messages... I'm on 11.0.1.1, magisk rooted, with RICE installed. Everything was working great but today when i woke up, i was unable to send SMS messages...
I'm receiving them, but sometimes they are delayed and i get a few at a time with nothing coming in again for a short time after that, but i've made no changes to my phone in the last 2 days. I've rebooted a few times between then and now (twice yesterday, just because), so i cant really understand why i would just randomly be unable to send text messages or why they are received in bursts like this?
I've gone in and reset my "Wi-Fi, Mobile & Bluetooth" settings from within the reset options, and this appears to fix the issue, but only for a minute or so and suddenly they stop sending again... I thought maybe its the tower, so i used my daughters phone to text my wife and that worked perfectly fine. Immediately before and after, mine wouldnt send.
Any ideas, links, or guidance that might help me figure this out?
Since there's been some updates and no responses to my thread, i wanted to revisit this and see if i'm still the only one on earth with this issue.
The issue seemed to have completely gone away on its own, no idea why or how... But a couple weeks ago i decided to install the update to 11.0.2.2 on my IN11AA. Ever since, my phone will randomly stop receiving SMS messages completely. I can still send, just cant receive. The only way to fix this is to reboot.
Anyone else with this issue? Anyone find a reason for this? A fix perhaps?

Seeming this issue doesn't seem to be widespread, could be a carrier side issue?
It's a shame we don't have dual boot capabilities because you could have switched to stock and checked.
Also try a secondary SIM from maybe someone in your household and send using that SIM and see what happens.
I know there are delays after rebooting, I do a lot of magisk module work and every reboot try sending notifications using SMS or some other methods and I get around 3 mins no send or receive but not at the length you do.

I just had the issue again yesterday. Wife and I started texting eachother at about 8am, except, i didnt receive any of her messages until 5:30pm when she got home and told me she had been texting me. I rebooted 3 times, which once usually resolves the issue but not this time. I had to go into the settings and reset my WiFi/Mobile/Bluetooth settings, then it worked immediately.
Because of the solutions, i wouldnt think its a sim issue, but im going to test it anyway. I've factory reset a few times in the past and i still get the issue. I've had the issue while rooted and not rooted. Four of us have phones, 3 are Samsung and then there's mine, and mine's the only one with the issue.

What SMS app are you using? I wonder if you have enabled RCS messaging the new Google style messaging? Because maybe it uses WiFi to download some of the SMS, and if your carrier doesn't support it maybe you only receive it when you are on WiFi.
Try on WiFi then try just on mobile data and see if you notice.
I attached a photo check the top setting. Google might be persisting your setting (if you are using Google messages)
Also why don't you and your wife try a simnswap next time you happen and you are both at home, if your wife doesn't receive it then it's sim/network related.

I'm using Google Messages, and yes i do have RCS enabled. I dont believe thats the case though because the messages that are blocked are sometimes just an "ok" message. I'm almost always on WiFi though too.
The primary issue with sim swapping with my wife is that we would need to swap sims for up to 2 weeks since sometimes I have no issues for 2 weeks, then i get the issue once or twice a day for three days. The worst part (for me anyway) is that her screen is SHATTERED on her phone (she's using a Note10+) and its hard to see anything, so i've been trying to get her to get a new phone. I think we might be FINALLY upgrading her (after 5 months) to an S21 Ultra, so maybe we'll give that a shot there.
I'm actually wondering if it has something to do with messages for web. I've noticed that the issue only really happens after using that, but.. It doesnt always happen after using messages for web, so it might just be a coincidence.
I'm pretty sure its not Google Messages, or RCS, and fairly certain its not messages for web, because i used to use Signal only, and i still had the issue a few times.

When you say "ok" are you just sending short messages or the suggested replies by Google?
I had problems with auto reply in notifications for a while.
Tbh I just use telegram or signal becuase they don't require being connected to the device directly when using the web/desktop versions.
Yeah swapping for 2 weeks isn't great!
Interesting you had this issue with signal too, sounds like Google cloud messaging (needed for any app push notifications and messaging) is in a standby mode.
You got naptime or servicely installed? Shame no one else is seeing this issue might be easier to diagnose
