I updated to Hangouts 2.0 and have it handling my SMS/MMS messaging and now Motorola Connect no longer notifies me of new messages on my computer(s). It must have relied on the stock Messaging app somehow. Is everyone else experiencing the same loss of functionality when they've updated to Hangouts 2.0? I haven't tried to send an outgoing text message via Motorola Connect so I'm not sure if that still works or not. Hopefully they find a resolution rather soon as Motorola Connect was pretty handy for me while at work.
Motorola Connect probably doesn't have the rights to access the SMS Store/Notifcations directly, therefore relied on a bit version of SMS.
I have never used Motorola Connect, I used the CM MMS Apk then have now started using Hangouts.
You can turn off SMS in Hangouts and continue to use the stock messaging application.

I'd rather just stick with Hangouts now that I have it. I've turned off Motorola Connect and disabled my stock Messaging app in the meantime. Hangouts works great.
My connect is working with the new Hangouts app. I had to log out of Motorola Connect on both my phone and computer, but it now works.
Yep log out completely then signs back in

Thanks! I was just curious why I cannot download it from the Playstore when it already shows the new version...oh well.
I'm assuming it will soon be rolling out to everyone, just gotta wait I suppose.
Downloaded the latest version of Hangouts APK from Androidpolice. Not able to send receive MMS. Everything else works fine. Anyone else having issues with MMS? I'm on Moto X Verizon stock everything.
EDIT: Nevermind just found this thread. Must be a Verizon issue.

Anyone else get this working? I just got the update for hangouts but Motorola connect doesn't work with it. I unlinked and linked the accounts 3 times but the notifications don't show up. If I refresh connect the messages show up, but notifications don't pop up when I get a message. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm having the exact same issue with Moto Connect. I figure we have to wait till Motorola comes up with an update to make it compatible with Hangout SMS
Got my Nexus 6 today. I'm on T-Mobile. I set my hangouts to be my default sms app. No matter who I send a text to, it says error message not sent. If I send a normal hangout message to another hangout user its fine. Is their a known issue with hangouts and 5.0 or something?
Same issues here. I am trying everything. Had issues since day 1, but haven't had time to look into it. Sprint Nexus 6 here.

I do know there was an update for the regular messenger app. Not sure if that's the problem or not but worth a check.
I switched carrier settings from lte to global and all my mms messages just flooded in at once. I can now send pic and group mms in hangouts and still have the same lte signal. Hopefully this solves your issue!
Just following up, my issues returned while i was out last night. I switched to 3g and again received a flood of incoming mms. Its frustrating to say the least.
This is not my problem, I'm posting for someone else.
Device: Moto G XT1068
OS: 4.4.x
App: Hangouts
Rooted: No
So basically this is a less than week old phone. I contact this person via Hangouts and SMS regularly so the merged threads are great for that. The problem is that now, for whatever reason, the Hangout messages do not appear in the thread. The user still receives notifications of the Hangout messages but when tapped they take her to the thread of SMS messages only.
Have tried unmerging, remerging, clearing data/cache. No luck whatsoever.
Unmerging did allow both the Hangouts and SMS threads to be viewed independently but that's not very useful...
Have also rebooted etc...
I've looked around XDA and the web in general but no luck so far.
Anyone know what could cause this bug and how to solve it? Thanks.
Any got a clue what's wrong?
Hello guys.
I hope someone knows the answer to this because I can't find any information anywhere about it.
When I get a FB message on my Urbane all I get is a notification that I have a message. Ironically, there is an option to reply, but if you can't see the actual message while would you reply?
The notification for whatsapp messages on the other hand, includes the actual message as it should be. Messenger may well be the only app that doesn't do this.
On my Samsung Gear S Android, FB messenger worked like whatsapp, but I sold it before I could apply the Wear update to see if the issue is related to Android Wear.
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks.
I believe you have to turn on notification preview in the Facebook messenger app itself to get message to show up on the watch.

you sir are a genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much!
Anyone got Google allo working properly? I receive messages ok but android auto says it can't reply to them and also it can't send a new message either. I find this mad as WhatsApp for example works perfectly & it's not even a Google app.
