No Hangouts notifications - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've had this phone for a few days and I've noticed that if not getting any notifications for Hangouts. I have to constantly check the app to see if I missed messages. It's the only app that's doing this to me. No problems with any other app. Anyone having this issue?

YES!!
It's pretty annoying because I am missing a bunch of google voice texts because of this.

I've noticed this as well -- but it seems to happen when I leave Hangouts as the active app on the screen when I turn it off (or it times out). If I go back to my home screen and out of Hangouts, then I get the message notifications.

Odd that a core Google app would have this problem when no 3rd-party app has done it. But Hangouts is due for an update anyways....

I saw this for the first time today when I picked up my nexus 7 and saw I had a google voice text from several hours earlier. Opened hangouts on my phone and saw the text had been received, but I couldn't remember seeing a notification. It then happened again a couple hours later. I've had the phone since Thursday and been receiving hangouts notifications until this morning.

I've been having the same problem. Has anyone seen a fix

I thought it was an issue with the ROM I'm using and/or the kernel. But as it turns out my girlfriend, using a Stock, Unrooted T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Avant, isn't receiving any hangouts notifications either. It seems it could be a bug across all hangouts apps. She has android version 4.4.2. And hangouts version 2.5.81636427, same as me.

Same problem here, 100% factory. Noticed lots of texts a day after they came in with no notification.

so everybody thats using greenify, and doesnt have hangouts greenified, there is a greenify setting that many enable) but will prevent you from getting a hangouts notification.. the setting is to have greenify notify you if you get notifications. turn if off and dont turn it on, as it will prevent you from getting hangouts notifications.

I'm not using anything like greenify. Running a custom kernel but this problem seems to happen regardless of kernel changing.

MMS Bug Again
I'm starting to think it's related to the MMS bug creeping back in again from the Developer Preview.
If you go into Hangouts and try to edit your Access Point Names, you won't be able to because the menu drop down isn't there

I'm having the same issue. I'll hear the hangouts messahes come in on my Nexus 5, but nothing shows up on my Nexus 6 and I have to manually scroll the conversation to eventually get it to update (when I finally updates)

It's within the settings of SMS from the Hangouts app.

Did you read the rest of my post @dawad

Yes, I did, which I responded that it's in the SMS settings from within Hangouts. APN doesn't appear if you select your hangout account, but is in the settings menu of Hangouts>SMS.

I'm seeing the same issue on my stock Note4, I'll not hear any verbal notification and don't see any visual notification, only way to know a text is received is to open hangouts and then I see several new texts.
Has anyone found a solution yet?

Same issue, I'm going to try what Simms suggested.

[Q] text message notifications bug

ok I am having the worst luck with TINY problems on this D4. so I was having a problem where blurcontactsync was causing my contacts to crash if I tried to use them, I found a simple fix to rename the apk to .bak, and it worked
Now I noticed that when I get a text message I do not receive any kind of notification. No smiling message in the notification bar, no notification tone, no vibrate. I have gone into text message settings and set the tone, I have gone into general settings and set the tone. I even went into titainium backup and froze "Messaging, and Universal Inbox" because I thought they might be interfering just like the blur contacts sync. no luck Still do not receive any kind of indication not even the LED flashing.
all my other notifications work fine, if I get an email, or a missed call I get a notification tone and a flashing green light....I extensively searched XDA and people were having this problem with the droid X but it was some kind of update bug and was fixed with a new patch....anyone have any ideas what I could do to get my notifications working again??
Hmm I can't replicate this problem on mine but do you use the stock text messaging app? Try a third party texting app like Handcent and then send a test to yourself from text.vzw.com and see if you get the notification.

yea I'm currently using the stock app I was hoping to avoid a 3rd party app but I guess Im going to dive into that. I can just freeze my stock msg app right?

I wouldn't freeze the stock messaging app, I believe that's still necessary even with a 3rd party app (speaking of, I highly recommend GoSMS, but have also been happy with Handcent in the past).
I remember seeing over on DroidForums.net that someone froze their stock messaging app and wasn't receiving any texts after that. Give it a shot but if you don't get any texts for a while I'd unfreeze

text notifications very erratic

my email notifications work perfectly, but my text notifications are so erratic that I'm considering returning the thing (& I love it).
Sometimes I get the notification right away, sometimes it comes in 5 minutes after the phone gets it and other times I don't get it at all.
Is there any fix for this??
I got my first text on my watch today since I had the watch last week. I really want to keep it, but I want to see what the possible Google watch will be later. Also for your question try restoring your gear and repairing with phone. I'm sadly sending mine back.

Reminder if you get a text or email while phone on, you will not get notification through the Gear.

I have had zero issues with text notifications. Make sure you uninstall any other txt messaging apps. When I had gosms installed I didn't get any notifications. Once I uninstalled it, I get perfect notifications.
If you download the nodded SMS a pk you can have texts come in without turning your screen on. This makes texts appear on the watch instantly cause the screen is off.

Download what??
Sorry about that. In the themes and apps section of your note 3s XDA you can download a modded MMS apk so your screen does not turn on when you get a text message
Issue probably is related to the screen turning on when a text arrives, which could be happening from another SMS app you have downloaded.

I installed that mod version of MMS and now messaging does not show up under notification selections of gear manager so I don't get any messaging notifications at all??

I find that notifications in generally slow; when they appear (usually within 5mins of appearing on phone). My Pebble is instant

I installed this app and set it to not light the screen on receiving a text, now my text notifications are almost instant.
That is great news. Glad I could help

Note 3 + Hangouts Inconvenience

So, I am having this issue (minor inconvenience) with Hangouts on my Note 3 that I didn't have before on my Galaxy S4 or Nexus 5. I am on stock ROM, rooted. I will be in a Hangouts conversation and when I reply to their message and mine has been sent, the display doesn't automatically move the conversation down to see what message I just sent.
I've never had this issue before when using Hangouts as my default SMS/MMS application. If the most recent message sent was from me, it simply doesn't move the conversation down to show that message.
It's not a 'problem', it's honestly just an inconvenience and was curious if anyone else has seen this problem before and knows of a fix.
My device has been factory reset (not to fix this issue) and I have uninstalled and reinstalled Hangouts. Cleared Cache, tried it all.

This has been discussed many times already within the XDA forums. I'm sure that Google will eventually resolve this minor flaw.

It's an issue with Hangouts. Eventually an update will fix it.

Yeah, I like Hangouts better.
The ONLY feature I missed about my iPhone I had long ago was iMessage and Hangouts is similar to that.
I've had no problems with Hangouts.
Update to anyone who cares:
After factory reset and some system tweaks with Wanam Xposed on my Note 3 - my Hangouts issue is gone. In an open conversation, every new message auto moves the view down to show me the most current message.
But what wanam settings did you adjust?

I'm not sure - it's just a coincidental thing. After all of the adjustments I made, it doesn't seem to do it anymore. But something has fixed it.

Issues with Android 5.0.1

Hello everyone.
I've updated to 5.0.1 and I've been having issues with updates basically I'm not getting notifications for my Emails or WhatsApp or any other app for that matter, i have to manually go into my apps to get my notifications. For example, once I go to my WhatsApp i get my messages all at the same time (iOS style) and also my emails, I have to go into my mail box to refresh to get my emails. Is this an issue or i'm missing something in the settings?
I searched before starting this thread couldn't find anything.

Sounds like you need to do a factory reset. Always good with an update anyway.

tell me, are you using greenify? i had the same issue for a day, until i found whats causing it. i never greenify my apps with notifications first off. greenify has a setting to keep notifications, when i enabled it i stopped getting any notifications. as soon as i disabled it and rebooted, i got notifications again.
I just did a factory reset and it seems that it has solved the issues so far so good.

Hangouts Issue

Anyone having this issue? When I receive a text, I swipe up to go directly to hangouts and after I type in my pin to unlock, it'll take me to the hangouts app, but I'll have to scroll down through hundreds of texts before I get to the one that was just sent to me. This started happening after the latest update of hangouts. Tried clearing data/cache and rebooting, but it didn't work.
I've got the same. I only started noticing after I'd updated to lollipop though. If I go to the normal unlock, then hangouts, it takes me straight to the message...
Same here. A work around is opening hangouts directly and not through the notification.
Yup. Same thing and it is annoying as hell. Like mentioned before, going directly to Hangouts works, but it also negates the point of the shortcut from notification shade or lockscreen. The other thing that works is to just type your response and send it. It jumps to the bottom after you hit send. No good if you didn't get to read the sender's whole message, but if you already read it on the lockscreen or wherever and know your response it works.
Yea, noticed all those things after a while. I assume it's a hangouts issue and not Motorola's issue? Because it was working as intended until the recent hangouts update...
I don't think this has anything to do with the moto x. It happens on my nexus 4 and nexus 7 and started whenever the completely revamped hangouts a few months ago.
