Google+ Messenger Bug? - Off-topic

Having a weird problem with the Android app for Google+... I left a messaging conversation, and it keeps popping back up when I go back into messenger. This is the case on my tablet, and phone. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but nothing is working. Suggestions?

Bump.

Open google plus
Go to messenger
Long click on the conversation you want gone.
Select leave.
But make sure you are logged out on the other device.
I hope this does what you need.

I've left this conversation several hundred times over the last 4 days. It keeps showing back up. I've cleared data on both devices, and my tablet is actually turned off right now, so logging out isn't the issue.

I have been trying to recreate your problem.
So far, no luck...
Only thing I can think of, maybe the problem isn't on your side but on the side of your conversation partner?
According to google the only way to get back in a conversation is when someone invites you back in.
When you leave a conversation, you’ll no longer receive messages from that conversation and won’t be able to access or view the history of the conversation unless you’re invited back.
Since one-on-one conversations are between you and another person, there’s no way to completely leave them.​
I'm just guessing here. Sorry, I wished I could help you.

Might be it, but it was a one liner and it keeps coming back.

I now have another conversation stuck.

Maybe best to post feedback to the google plus app people themselves ? I don't think there's a problem with your setup, just a bug on google's side ?
The best

Do they read that crap? They get TONS of feedback...

If enough people send the same crap, they'll probably notice. if you do find a solution, please let me know. This one intrigues me.

No idea what it is. It happens on my tablet and phone...really annoying. Tried clearing data on everything and no luck...uninstalling/reinstalling, nothing.

SMS Scheduling Software?

I would like to set my Kaiser to send pre-written text messages at specific times, does anyone have any idea about any software that does this? Or anyway to do it on the phone now?
For example, next week, I'll be traveling. I would like to write a text wishing my girlfriend a happy birthday, and then have my phone send it to her at 8AM her time, which will be 3AM my time.
Or, as another example, being able to set it so to send other people I work with reminder texts, about deadlines or whatnot, without my having to keep track of doing it myself.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

you are in luck because I have found this recently for my kaiser and it works great. Does scheduling and group texting and you can save the groups too.
Ah, that's brilliant, I'll give it a try.
Muchas Gracias!!
How do I install this.
yes, I am abit new

OK, this is frustrating as hell, do any of you professionals have any ideas??
Each night, I send three to five messages to the same person, say at 0300, 0305, 0310, and 0315.
Almost universally, the first message is delivered, as I can see it crossed off in the Scheduled Messages section of PowerSMS, and it also appears in the Messaging program as sent.
However, the remaining messages, although crossed off as sent in PowerSMS, do not appear to have been sent, and do not appear in the Messaging program as sent?
Any ideas? This is the sole reason I bought PowerSMS--to send scheduled messages to the same person, but it's only sending the first one.
I've tried everything. Soft resets. 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 minutes between messages. Leaving PowerSMS minimized. Closing it entirely. Leaving it open on the desktop. Plugging the phone in, leaving it unplugged but with plenty of power. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it sends a few messages. Most times, it doesn't.
Frankly, this is annoying. The phone works. Messages coming and going are not an issue, EXCEPT when PowerSMS is involved in sending them.
I posted much of this on the developer's site, and his only comment was: "That seems odd, and I don't have an answer for you right off the bat because the behavior is unpredictable. Does it help if you space the messages out a bit more (i.e. try to send them 15 minutes apart instead of 5)? Also, can you soft-reset your device to ensure the memory is clean and nothing else is running in the background? Then see if you can get it to send yourself 3 messages in a row 10-15 minutes apart. One guess is this *may* be related to the power management features of the device. It gets woken up at a certain time, sends the message and goes back to sleep and tries to wake up too quickly. Maybe this is causing the problem?"
Anyone here have any thoughts? What he says makes sense, but I have no idea where to go from there.
What version are you using? The newest version is 1.3 and it may fix the issues.

Thanks for the quick response, yes, I am using 1.3.
When it works, it's a brilliant little program. It just doesn't work very often. I'm tempted to ask for my money back.
You should try these two programs out. They look very promising!

It has a 14 day trial, but is only about $10, which i believe to be a fantastic deal considering all it's features, including export to .csv and .xml files.

Edit: Those subscribers who are registered before the BETA Release can get a CODE just click on the link.

i downloaded now on xperia x10, I have to test, but the app is well installed.

For whatever reason, Viber just WON'T send me my access code! ><" Not even after I go to the "Get Code" part...ToT
edit: nevermind, I guess they just ran out of beta codes, so I'll most likely have to wait till they send me mine in the next few weeks.

Already did that, I have the APK and it installed fine. My problem is that my access code is never sent to me, hence I can't verify my account.
Hi everyone,
We (Viber) are just as excited as you are for our new beta.
We're thankful for your feedbacks, and hoping you are finding it useful!
A few messages and clarifications:
1. Although I'm following this thread, we would like to ask you to post all your technical issues and suggestions in our official Android webpage: blog.viber.com/viber-beta-support
2. For those who are not receiving the code or getting the error message saying they need to subscribe: the only way for you to successfully install our beta is to have subscribed, and wait for our official invitation email. Otherwise your email and number won't have been activated, thus you're blocked (we didn't want our .APK to simply be open to EVERYONE in the world). Please wait patiently. It might take up to a week, but you should eventually receive the email and use it freely.
3. If you haven't subscribed in the official way yet, you can still do it here and wait for our email: eepurl.com/bW1Ln
For other info or questions, I'm here!
Best regards,
Viber.
I registered even before december last year and didnt get a beta invite yet... so probably its still too early to get really excited, as there are thousands of people that registered later... especially over the last time.
Makes only sense of course if they send out the codes in the order as people registered.
EDIT:
I have to correct myself. i never got an invite email from viber, but using the email i used back then to subscribe i could register here http://www.viber.com/android-beta/ without any problems. i just had to try some email addresses as i didnt know anymore which one i used back then. I didnt recive a sms but the activation call worked without any problems.
So yeah, even if you didnt get an invitation mail it might work. And YES, i checked my spamfolder before!

Hi there.
Why do I see the Viber logo in the notification. Isn't there any possibility to turn it off?
I thought you receive your calls and messages through push notification?

I think thats kinda annoying too. if every running service would show an icon, there would be no space left...
As the service is always running in the background anyway, there is simply no need to show the symbol all the time.

Well i think we need that icon to see if the Viber Server in ONLINE or OFFLINE i like it !
I found a problem VIBER , when someone calls me when i try to Accept the call i have to touch the Accept button and wait a little then swipe it to right side, if i swipe immediately the call is Rejected and doesnt inform the other side (the caller) that i Rejected his call.

Thats kinda redundant, as you should safely assume that you are connected to viber as long as you have an online connection... if its usual that you cant connect to viber while having an online connection, it basically means the service isn't very reliable.
Just applied for both me and the missus. Hope we get in.

For me, the WhatsApp solution is way better. Even if I quit the app with ATK, I get my mails pushed. I don't even see Viber in ATK.
That's quite unacceptable for me.
Zhe rest of the app is fine for me.

if you quit the WhatsApp client, the WhatsApp service is still running... i dont get your point. Whats the problem with services running in the background anyway? As long as they are not eating up your battery which shouldn't be the case if they are properly programmed.
i mean as long as they dont eat up space in the notification bar

Homez, I know that Viber is not really draining my battery, I just don't want to see the logo in the notification bar. The application can run in the background, it can even run besides me if it wants. I just want my notification bar clean ;-)

And i got an invitation mail to the beta today... a little bit late regarding i am using the beta already since last week. And it works really good for me... besides not deactivating the screen while calling (proximity sensor) but im sure they will fix this soon.

I think glitch with Mikes google Rom

iN MY notifications, It says I have a new voice mail and I cant swipe it away, it just bounces back.
Any idea how to get rid of it? Iv also tried to click on it. Opens the voicemail but still notification.

I assume you are referring to mike1986? ... You'd be better asking in the ROM thread as more people will see it and no doubt help much quicker.

Yeha, I would however I cannot post there for some reason, I think I need a higher post count, So i would have to refer to this section.. I think its quite silly that they put the post count limit on.. however I guess its understandable for when newbies ask silly questions.
Try saving or deleting the voicemail instead of just dismissing it. That always seems to work for me.

i doubt that it will be a glitch in mikes rom only. mikes roms are just stock with no modifications . so if there is a glitch it should be available on all roms.
Yeah thats the thing, there was no voice mail, it just asked to set it up. Which I did, but notification was still there.
I tried to turn it off however it came back when I turned it back on.
I managed to get rid of it by clearing the cache from the settings -> apps.
I seem to be hearing a small pop noise from speaker... normal?

App permission monitor stating the obvious on SMS?

Has anyone seen this App permission monitor pop up while doing something completely normal and keep letting you know every time you use it? For me, I'm using Google Messages as my default SMS app, and this thing pops up telling me "1 apps have been detected using 1 permissions" and lists Messages | SMS.
OBVIOUSLY.
What's even stranger is that I went to app permissions and it says that Messages is authorized for SMS, just like I okay'd it when Messages was set as the default SMS app. What gives? I think this might come in handy when an app goes rogue, using permissions without me saying it was okay to do so, but in this case, it's like saying "water is wet." When you click on the notification, it says that Messages has been using permissions in the background.... What?
Any thoughts on how to okay this with App permission monitor so I can text without this warning all the time (and no, I'm not about to hide notifications of it since it could be helpful in the future).
Go into Settings > Lock Screen and Security > App Permissions Monitor and turn it off.

Not helpful. Please read what I wrote again. I think the app could possibly be useful, but it just needs to be corrected.
You can actually go in and tell it to not report permission uses for specific apps instead of turning it off completely. Instead of clicking the rifle just click on the words so permission monitor and it'll give the full list of apps and you can shut off reporting for apps you trust.

THANK YOU. This is what I was looking for. I didn't know what you were referring to at first, I was just getting the notification because I didn't see it in Settings (there is so much stuff in there now, you just about have to use the search feature for everything these days!), but now that I found it, I clicked on the words, not the toggle switch, and set Messages to NOT monitor. Perfect, thank you.
I am kind of confused. What did you search to make it go away? This is getting so annoying because it is always telling me textra is using SMS and I am not sure what to do to make it stop. Like you I would still like to keep the monitor on I just wish it would stop telling me what I already know.
Detailed Process

I was a little confused as well so this is what I did to correct it.
SETTINGS >> LOCK SCREEN AND SECURITY >> APP PERMISSION MONITOR
From there you should go down to the android Messages app and toggle it to off. That will disable giving the warning every time you send a message.
Hope that helps.

You do know they legit just told you how to do it.... you dont have to be mean about it. and then stating "THIS" is what im looking for. Like they told you how to get there, you click the name. if you went onto there to just hit the toggle without looking/investigating around, ie. pressing the section instead, then you arent probably getting the most out of your phones.
I suggest playing around in your settings and everything to get the most out of your phone.
I legit just made this account to tell you this because the person helped you and you seemed to speak rude to them.

This is happening on my note 8 as well. Have you been able to fix this? I'm a little worried it could be something malicious using back-end processes, like they programmed the exploit to send SMS messages without involving surface flinger...

I am assuming you are using a 3rd party messaging app from the play store?
I am still getting the notifications even though for instance Contacts is allowed to be used by Android Messages, I get the notification everytime I send or receive a text.
I tried turning the monitor off completely, still getting notifications.
All since I upgraded to a new Samsung patch last night on my S8+.
In fact I got the notification just now after I toggled the setting to off...I checked and the toggle is back on.

Can Not Thank You Enough! I could not figure out how to get that to stop to save me and my OCD couldn't take anymore of those notifications as it was always about my chosen text app. Turning off all didn't work why I didn't think to try just the one is beyond me. So thanks again and this is why I love this Forum!

Issues with Google Messages app on Pixel 5!

I just got the Pixel 5 and absolutely love it!
However, I keep having this very odd and reoccurring issue where at least once or twice a day, when I tap on the GM app, I get a blank screen and can't access my messages UNLESS I close out the app and clear the cache as well. Then it's fine. But when this issue occurs, any pics or attachments sent to me are no longer accessible. I tap on them, and it just tells me they're expired even though the person had just sent them like 10 minutes or so ago. The blank screen thing is bad enough, but this is def worse because then I have to ask the person to resend whatever they'd sent.
Does anyone here have ANY clue why this is happening? It's really annoying. I've tried all sorts of things including clearing the data for GM, as well as for the SMS and MMS system apps, uninstalling and then reinstalling GM's updates (since you can't uninstall the app itself because it's a Google phone), etc. But honestly I can't seem to fix the issue.
If anyone here has a resolution for this issue, please reply to this post as I'm sure I'm not the only one dealing with this.
Thanks in advance!!!

I didn't have the same issue but did have Google messages issues where conversations would take a while to load up and messages would take minutes to send.
I went to the play store, turned off auto updates for Messages, then hit uninstall, which just uninstalls the updates and rolls back to an earlier version. Back to normal. Everything worked well.
I eventually did a factory reset and am now running on the latest messages fine.

Yeah aside from the factory reset, I did all that. Didn't work for me either.
How do you turn off auto updates for Messages in the Play Store app though??
Thing is, if they put out a fix for this via an update, then turning off auto updates will only postpone resolving the issue too.
I've read that some people have done a factory reset and STILL had the issue though too, so I'm very hesitant to do all that.
Thanks though!

Does anyone here have ANY clue why this is happening? It's really annoying. I've tried all sorts of things including clearing the data for GM, as well as for the SMS and MMS system apps, uninstalling and then reinstalling GM's updates (since you can't uninstall the app itself because it's a Google phone), etc. But honestly I can't seem to fix the issue.
If anyone here has a resolution for this issue, please reply to this post as I'm sure I'm not the only one dealing with this.
Thanks in advance!!!

The GM app (I'm not sure what that is, GM Android Auto?) probably has a contact developer link in the G Play listing. Take a bug report/logcat and send them an email with the complaint and attach the log.

Try joining the beta for messages? It's generally slightly newer and you can join, leave without anything being wiped, might help, might not. Outside that, I've got nothing to offer.

However, I keep having this very odd and reoccurring issue where at least once or twice a day, when I tap on the GM app, I get a blank screen and can't access my messages UNLESS I close out the app and clear the cache as well. Then it's fine. But when this issue occurs, any pics or attachments sent to me are no longer accessible. I tap on them, and it just tells me they're expired even though the person had just sent them like 10 minutes or so ago. The blank screen thing is bad enough, but this is def worse because then I have to ask the person to resend whatever they'd sent.

Did you restore messages when setting up your phone?

No. I was just abbreviating Google Messages. lol
Oh it DOES have that info unholy, but they apparently don't respond to messages it seems. I've sent feedback though to them about it, or well, a bug report with the log attached.

Ducter. I've tried that before. I don't believe it makes ANY difference honestly. I prefer to be off Beta anyway. Just gimme the STABLE version of Messages, thank you! lol

What do you mean sruel?
If you mean restore a backup of text messages, then no. If not, please elaborate more.

You have the option I believe to either restore all messages or not. But one easy thing you can try is to backup all your messages, they have a free 3rd party app, then delete all of them and try GM again to see if it fixes your issue. There might be one message improperly formatted or something that is hanging up your system. Then you can restore what you need and not everything. Worth a shot.

Yeah aside from the factory reset, I did all that. Didn't work for me either.
How do you turn off auto updates for Messages in the Play Store app though??
Thing is, if they put out a fix for this via an update, then turning off auto updates will only postpone resolving the issue too.
I've read that some people have done a factory reset and STILL had the issue though too, so I'm very hesitant to do all that.
Thanks though!

Go to the app in the play store and on the very top right click on the three dots. You'll get a drop down box where you can toggle automatic updates.
Some of these issues are so finicky when factory resets won't help. Good luck
Hi,
