Not receiving texts on verizon Nexus 6 - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently upgraded to a Nexus 6 and I'm having an issue where it won't receive text messages. Also, I can send texts just fine. Everything is completely stock, hasn't been rooted or anything.

Did you buy from Verizon or elsewhere? What build is it on?

Yeah, I bought it directly from Verizon. It updated to 5.1.1 as soon as I turned on.

Using standard Messenger app for texts? Just call Verizon. They will fix it. Probably something on their end.

Google Hangouts

So I read back in August that they were letting people use hangouts over cellular now, but my note 3 won't do it. Anybody having these issues?

Same...
You would think that if they enabled it it would come through Google play. Which means everybody would get it at the same time.

Can anyone else report either success or failure of Google Hangouts videochat via AT&T LTE? I'm on the verge of upgrading from a Note 2 to a Note 3, but I think I'll wait if Hangouts doesn't work properly yet.
My friend down the street just went to the Note 3 and had the exact same issue. I'm starting to think its model specific.

Yeah they've been blocking it and I know how to enable it in an sql editor but can't do that without root. However in August they were suppose to enable it or begin enabling it.

My ATT Note 2 blocked Hangouts video on LTE until a month ago--then it started working.
However, I just got an ATT Note 3 and it once again blocks Hangouts video on LTE. This is in the same geographic location and using the same ATT account that was previously associated with my Note 2.
The Note 2 and Note 3 both show the same Hangouts version: 1.2.018 (849105-30).
I'm guessing nobody's work's over cellular?
I try a couple times a day and still says need wifi.
mine was crashing the other day made me sad.. international been getting updates left and right. get your ass in gear AT&T!
I found this several months back on XDA. Gtalkenabler_v1.1.1.apk modified. Must be rooted and works in GS3, Note 2 and Note 3. Allows you to receive and make hangout calls on LTE and 3/4g.
Not sure how to attach file. Look it up or PM me.

Thanks, but most of us are aware of the mods. It's actually just as easy to do it through an SQL editor than to have that running all the time. We were more concerned that were previously able to do it with the S4 and not now.
Also I would recommend Wannam Xposed for any kind of hacks if your rooted, to include enabling hangouts. It works without problems like the Gtalkenabler and the SQL editor.
I have the same problem. About a week ago I read an article. It said AT&T announced it but wouldn't fully rolled out until the end of the year.

Canadian Rogers/Bell No "Voicemail notification" thread

I just wanted to make a thread dedicated for this issue.
At the moment, it seems like there is no notification when you get a new voicemail on two Canadian carriers Rogers and Bell...until you reboot the device.
Let's share any News, update, or fix when available....here.
Thanks

same here on Rogers. Called them about it, they're aware of the issue, but apparently leaving it up to Google to fix.
Hola
[email protected]#&*ing-believable!!! Thanks to this thread which I just happened to come across due to it being related to something Canadian I would never have known that this was an issue.
I had a number of vm that were very important and have now missed!
Bell network too. Thanks for informing us ignorant ones.

I'm on Bell and get Voicemail notifications too.
Edit - Spoke too soon. I had a notification from a previous voicemail that I hadn't deleted... tried out as you guys stated, and you're right.. no notification.
I'm on Virgin and I don't receive VM notifications until I reboot either. I also am not receiving a SMS notification. Which is crazy because I really only want a single notification period, not a VM and SMS.
Looks like Google is aware of the issue affecting some phones/carriers... It appears to be a KitKat issue, not a Nexus 5 issue as there are some people reporting the same problems on the Nexus 4 as well. 4.3 on those phones, notification worked fine... on upgrade to 4.4, started happening.

Phone sending one text 9 times?

Not sure if this is a Sprint issue or a phone issue... My phone is showing texts as "Sending" for a very long time. The recipient is reporting receipt of the same messages like 9 times. How do I tell if this is my phone, or a Sprint issue?
Edit: Some texts also report failed to send when they didn't fail to send. And all this seems to happen when I'm connected to my corporate wifi, when on LTE, it seems to be okay.
I had this same issue on the first day of use. I have Ting (Sprint). Everything happened like you explained, the text took forever to send on my end, and then the person received it around 10 times. Luckily, nobody has complained since. Hopefully the issue was corrected.

Not corrected yet for me.
I'm on sprint also... My text take a long time also, but for me I have to switch to 3g for them to send. They just spin if I don't switch. I'm thinking it's a phone issue because they sent just fine on my G2 running lollipop.

Could be related to something with the wifi network I'm on, because last night I was on my home wifi and it was fine, no multiple texts and they sent VERY quick. When I'm on my corporate wifi it's slow, gives false failure messages and sends a ton of times. Is Lollipop different with sending texts somehow that wifi can impact it?
Edit: Jinxed myself. Happened while on LTE. Maybe it's an area issue or something... This zip code has tons of issues with Sprint.
Known issue, there is a thread further down. There is a 20 plus page thread at Sprints CS board too. Supposedly the update on 12/15 will correct the issue.
The current workaround is to put your phone in 3G mode. If it's on LTE it spits out numerous texts.

I haven't gotten the 5.0.1 update yet. But people are definitely getting the duplicate texts. :/ Guess I'll keep it in 3g for now.

I just block it with hangouts or messenger.
If your talking about the 9016 or whatever that's easy I meant the notification that continuously pops up

I was getting it, I don't since I've applied a temp kind of fix that has stopped the notification and I know I'm not the only one experiencing it

Yup saw the edit in a other thread and tried it out for digitals gpe and haven't had the issue since I've used it keep it for whenever I run gpe now since I'm an unfortunate soul who has the phantom voicemail and can't swap phones thanks to Sprint easy pay
Yeah that was the main reason I left that rom... So annoying. And I've been so busy during the holidays that I've never attempted to solve it.

I've actually had it since early December I just didn't think it worked but I think I kept forgetting to reboot it and I was flashing too frequently so I could never remember if it was applied or not digital is gonna implement it if someone else confirms its working
This seems to work for me. I tested incoming and outgoing calls and all is well so far. Running DH's latest. Thanks! That icon was such a pain...
Yeah this has worked for me. Thanks! I'm using skydragon gpe on at&t.

5.1.1 Update Ready but Already Installed?

As stated: bought unlocked 6 last week. Got 5.0.2, 5.1 then 5.1.1 right in row when first powered on. Downloaded and installed.
Today, have 5.1.1 Update notifier showing up, even though phone shows already have it.
Not sure what to do.
Anyone have a similar experience?
On TMo, w/ stock LMY47Z?
Thanks in advance

Probably a newer build of 5.1.1. Install it and see if the build number changes.

Most likely, this is because of you being on T-Mobile. The correct build for T-Mobile is LYZ28E.
Thanks for responses.
So I'll continue to receive this until I flash LYZ28E?

Again, most likely.
If I choose to root and flash, does the 28E firmware install TMo bloat?
As much as I would like WiFi calling, that potential has been holding me back

Haven't heard of any T-Mobile bloat at all. Plus, there are quite a few custom ROMs built on the T-Mobile base.

Just DL'd the update and interestingly, phone is now on LYZ28E, w/ WiFi calling.
In all my reading and research, thought that carrier updates were specific to only branded units and not unlocked ones. Had unlocked Sony Z3 on TMo and in six months, never got TMo firmware. That was impetus behind my post.

Things have changed in Nexusland with the N6. While all builds will work on any Nexus 6, certain builds have carrier specific features.
