Or is it just me, or am I dumb and only started using Messaging vs. Hangouts recently?

Maybe he's in Nevada. Area 51.
I want to say it only started happening a few days ago, but I think it was before I upgraded to 5.1.1. Definitely never happened with Hangouts, and it's only happened with Messaging. Sometimes it'll be small and in the corner, sometimes big and centered, but I believe it always pulses. I don't have any crazy apps, haven't even rooted since going to 5.1.1 yet. Have been using Nova for a while, shouldn't be that. I'm just perplexed. I like it though, but it's not consistent.

Are you using some sort of notification app or lockscreen replacement? NoLED, ACDisplay, Dynamic Notifications or something along those lines?

Eureka!
So I decided to take a look and see what all I had installed (I lose track sometimes) and I got to Edge Color Notifications (mimics Galaxy S6 edge) and dove into the settings and found it. Never seen this before, maybe it updated and just started doing it.

Just noticed Pulse no longer opens panes in the Honeycomb fashion after update to 3.0.1, opens like on a phone. Anyone else have this problem?

Same issue here.
same for me, no more fancy landscape layout
Everything is still the same on mine.
Mine changed to.
It still works in landscape and when I touch an article it shifts the whole feed down, and displays the article on top of the feed.
I actually like it better.
I hate the new setup. I liked having the side by side panes.

Ditto. I doubt this was intentional. But want the layout back to the it was before.
Yep, same problem. Did the update break something with fragment handling?

Much better.
OT: Kinda wish I hadn't updated it on my lunch hour though. Now I know that the fuel rods are melting down in 3 of the reactors at Fukushima. *sigh*
Every once in a while, since going to 4.3, I get this notification icon, with nothing corresponding in the pull-down. Not only that, but the icon seems to be flickering. Whenever I try to investigate what might be causing it, it goes away.
Honestly, it's just more bothersome than anything else, I just wish I knew what it was!

I think you mean GPS NFC WIFI, but I think hes talking about the one to the far left. I believe that one comes up when you have too many notifications to show all the icons.
Indeed

I apologize for not being more specific in my OP, I see how there was confusion (as the NFC icon is a new icon for 4.3, and so many people are confused by it), and I did indeed mean the one to the far left that looks like a very angular "C". I don't believe that it is a placeholder for too many notifications, because I have noticed it when I have a clean dropdown.
I start the morning off good with messages coming through, but then a few hours in they stop, and it is getting really annoying.... I am on latest gear manager and everything....anyone else have this issue? Or know of a fix?
If I can't consistently get messages to my watch, it is worthless.

I agree, that would make it worthless to me to.
I had problems with text notifications etc at first myself.
It took me a while to realize that for notifications to make it to the watch, I had to be running the stock messaging app (I had been using HandCent for years) & the phone screen had to be off at all times.
I installed the modded version of the stock TW messaging that has a toggle for screen on/off when a message came in. After switching to that (plus using the Samsung email app as opposed to GMAIL), I now get all my gear notifications almost instantly and I love the thing.
I also loaded my custom ringtones to the gear so it will ring a lot louder.

It could I suppose, I have found that absolutely anything that turns the screen on will block the notification from getting through to the watch.
I don't use a lockscreen (I just go straight into the phone from the home screen/power buttons)
I saw a post from someone saying that lock widgets will mess up the gear but I don't know if it's true.
I know mine works perfectly and I'm not updating ANYTHING at this point!!

Was just curious as to what messaging app most people was using and recommended. I like to find one that has pop up and possibly lock screen preview like the stock app. Any help or suggestions is much appreciated.

I love the stock messenger app, it has everything I need.
Go sms has pop up too if you prefer that.

For now, stock app until I find something I like better.
I was using Textra on my S3 but it didn't want to work well with kitkat so I went to hangouts. I think hangouts could be a really good app, but right now its terrible in the way its organized. Contacts are a mess to sort through, and every google account you have has the ability to send messages which makes things very difficult to manage if you end up sending messages from more than one.
I'm not a huge fan of the stock app...kind of ugly, but it works well.
I use Textra and I love it.
Thanks for the info. I will try out those. I liked the stock app but was getting lag using it. It want bad but bad enough to drive me nuts. Lol

I really liked the stock app until I imported all of my old texts from my I7777 and then the lag was unbearable. Nearly a 2 minute wait. Now I'm using Hangouts. Not as many features, but no lag.
Textra
EvovleSMS (this is the one I use)
HelloSMS
I tried all the popular ones...Go SMS, Textra, hello SMS, Hangouts, Evolve, etc. Hated all of them. I ended up sticking with chomp SMS. It's from the same developer that made biteSMS for the jailbroken iPhone, so I'm familiar with it. Plus, you can customize the theme to your liking. It has all the popular features: popups, quick reply/compose, delay sending, scheduled sending, privacy, etc.
Ever since my SGS 2, I always end up back with Textra. Black theme. Light, fast, actively developed and has all the necessary features. It's not overblown and just does it's job well.
I've been using Chomp for a long time and have been very happy with it. I've been trying out the stock messaging app for a few days, compared to past Samsung messaging apps, I'm impressed, but I'll probably be installing Chomp again soon...
Are there any messaging apps or themes for a messaging app that would make it flat? No matter how much I edit Chomp or Textra it just still doesn't look flat.

I use hangouts as my stock mainly because I can directly chat with my Google contacts. I have little reception where I live but still have WiFi so I can message my friends with android over a hangout instead of an SMS. I also very much like the layout and Android Emojis. I never liked textra, chomp, or handcent.

using stock messaging app here , rooted with twrp recovery , I have popup enabled when I get a msg and phone is locked (swipe to unlock set) I click the msg but then the phone lags at the lock screen ,and hangs. anyone else having problems with this ? or know a way to correct it ?
to get out of it I have to swipe to unlock then open up the messaging app it wont let me click the msg I got from the lock screen .
Was using ChompSMS but was getting a bit slow, switched to EvolveSMS but it's still really buggy, using Textra now. Slim, fast, quick reply / compose and not bogged down with tons of settings. Simple theme & emoji setup too. Be sure to download Textra emojis from app store.
since we are discussing the messaging apps, has anyone been getting random message alerts on old messages in the stock app? Phone was sitting on the counter last night charging and I heard it go off. Came out to find an alert for a message from tuesday that had already been read. Had this happen once before as well...alert on a previous read message. Never seen anything like it
From the sound of your needs, it seems like the stock app would suit your needs best. Why not use it? I don't really understand why some people seem to force themselves to use third party apps if the native ones work fine. :what:

Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
That sounds hilarious, sorry. As far as I saw, the only options for talking were in the extended options of language and input in settings. I'll dig around and see if I can find something. I'll definitely want it disabled myself.
I noticed this today at the worst possible time in a middle of a meeting. Can't find an option to turn it off.
Went through there as well ,unless I'm not checking something correctly... could you check your calculator app and tell me if your having the same problem?
Just got this phone and never messed around with any of thoose kind of settings anyways.

Did you give any app pemissions in accessibility. If you did read this image i attached. When you give some apps permission Samsung has some issues sometimes with the voice kicking on but Samsung actually had a work around built right into the phone.
Have recreated your problem just do the work around which the phone does for you.

This is how I shut off mine. Under Accessibility if you have anything under Services, turn them off. I had Greenify on and it made my calculator talk, but once I shut it off, calculator stopped talking. Hope it helps.
Found this page with people having same issue. Seems like tmobile and att is the pattern. Tmobile here. Greenify not installed. Double checked all my settings too.

You have to click on the settings button thats below whatever app you would have given permission look at my pic i posted you will see the settings listed at the bottom but since you say you didn't do that then there is no workaround. Did you turn on a app you didn't necessarily had to do it in accessibility some apps will just do it automatically. Can you tell me what apps you may have installed that help with battery or after market lockscreen just anything you can think of

Neither
NOTE 4
On my phone, it was caused by activating Greenify in the accessibility settings. When I did that, I got a popup telling me that my default language didn't match TTS. It offered me options of canceling, going to settings, or enabling TalkBack. So, for some reason, activating Greenify activates TalkBack. Voila. Talking calculator.
