Hangouts/texting issue - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My wife and I have both noticed that (we use Hangouts) that when texting/sending messages that the message we type in an or receive does not always show up. We have to close out the message then go back in to see the message. Sometimes backing out of the message we can see it in the preview but when we go back in it doesn't show up. Have to close hangouts then go back in and the message shows up. It's very annoying.

I have same issue #blamegoogle

Yup. If you Uninstall hangouts updates it fixes the issue. It's happening on a number of devices right now

I have the same issue on an LG g4, My fiance has the issue on her S6, and my bro has the issue on his S6e. Like stated above the only fix is if you uninstall updates but for someone with an android wear watch I don't want to do that. It is quite upsetting. Hoping 5.0 that is rumored to release today will fix the issue.
I have the issue with both SMS and hangouts in the Hangouts app so it is not a server side issue.

I'll give that a try because that lag is super freaking annoying!

[Q] Messenger App

Im new to android and the N6. I have just finished transferring my text messages from my iphone to N6. Everything seemed to go smoothly, except that it would not let me delete any text messages. I then updated the messenger app as I noticed there was an update available for it. Now when I open the app, it says that it is "fetching conversations." It has been stuck at this screen for over 30 min. I have tried closing the app, restarting the device, anything I could think, but my text messages won't show up. Any advice on how I can fix this?
Thanks

Did you remove your phone number from the dumb Imessage server so it would actually work on android? Apple used to purposely cause issues when people switched.

I was trying to do this but was not able to receive the code from apple via text. Then i started having the issues with the messenger app. For whatever reason it is not able to pull up my texts. The problem, im guessing, lies within the app.
well it magically started working. I guess it just took forever to load all of my text messages from file.

I'm glad it finally started working for you. Apple likes making things a hassle from past experience. (ITunes music...)

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.

No Hangouts notifications

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.

text notifications

I searched Google and seen many with the same issue, but no solution. The issue is getting no text notifications sometimes. I get the text message but no sound or badge number saying a text came in. It's so random I can be texting a person back and fourth. I get 99% of notification a text came in example a sound and visual iindication but a few slip in with out so much of a beep. I did a factory reset, I made messager notification high priority, and I have no other message app. Is it because of Oreo? Is because of Google? Or is just Samsung app broken? No idea, but it kills me.

I've seen the same issue. In addition to pissing me off I have the wife asking why I'm ignoring her messages! I rebooted and that seemed to remove the problem for a large window of time but I've heard of no concrete root cause and solution.

Same here that's why I turned off read notification in messages for TMobile. So the wife does not complain about it.
I read somewhere it might be Google app. I uninstalled updates and disabled it and will report back.
Ok 24 hours later I must say big difference. All text come in and notifications from a Islamic app about prayer times is no longer late. So is it google app? Maybe because I also removed anti virus software. I am add google back on and see what's up.
How sad.... Within 5 mins it started again... It's the google app.
it's usually happen to me when the text app is on-screen, in the foreground. when the app in the background, I get the notification

For me it's both. Phone in my pocket screen off and I get nothing. Only thing that saves me sometimes is my s3 watch. It shows the notification and the phone nothing

Problem Sending WhatsApp Messages after Pie update

I have a T-Mobile Note 9 and recently updated to pie with the official OTA file. Ever since I've updated, all my messages don't send right away. On regular text messaging, I've been getting texts hours late and sometimes my messages are being delivered late (even though on my end it's sent). Especially on group texting. It's happening on Telegram also, where my messages don't seem to go through and I have to force close the application and open it again. But the worst problem is with the WhatsApp messages. 50% of the time, I will send a message and it just shows one tick mark (not delivered). And I've tested this with many contacts, even another phone I have at home. Eventually after a while, the messages will show two ticks. Usually , if I initiate a WhatsApp call then the messages will change to two tick marks right away.
Has anyone else had problems with sending messages after the pie update? I think it's weird that it's happening across apps.
Thank you in advance!

Wipe cache partition and see if that helps.
Also are your experiencing any problems with your WiFi
