I am having problems on my GMC to get SMS messages on my AA. When I set it up I chose to include everything except the Phone permission. I chose to use contacts, sms, maps, mic. I have no problem receiving the notification card and listening to the playback on a Hangouts message. But when I receive a text it only shows up on my phone and I get nothing on the Android Auto screen in the truck. Its like I never received a message, so then I have to read it on my phone. I have no problem with using voice commands to send Hangouts and SMS messages, just no notification on the SMS.
The reason I didn't include my phone permission was because I like the way the Intellink works on the truck and so when an incoming call would come in and Android Auto had access I would have to go through it to answer making my steering wheel control useless. So I changed the settings but only removed the phone and now I can use the phone through the truck Intellink but am not getting the SMS notifications through Android Auto.
Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I have an annoying issue with my phone and don't know if it can be remedied or not. I am sure that others may have the same issue. If I miss a phone call and the person leaves a voicemail I get four different app notifications. The icons in the notification bar include: missed call icon, email icon with possible transcript of voicemail, text message with possible transcript of voicemail and finally, Google voice icon with transcript and voice recording. I use Handcent for texting, gmail for emails and Google voice for voicemails. I would like to keep Google voice as I like the transcript and voice recording available in one spot. Is there a way to selectively not receive notices for phone calls from specific apps?

i wont be of too much help here, but i can suggest turning notifications off for such things as a bootleg temp fix until you figure it out.
ive never used handscent so that may be it, or more likely an app for transcripting voicemails as that seems to be the common factor here.
I'm thinking about "graduating" to Google Hangouts after using Google Messenger for quite some time. Does Hangouts work like Apple's text messenger app where it sends the message via wifi or cellular signal and the app is interachangeable via desktop ?
I was playing with it earlier and it seems like unless the other person has hangouts as well with the sync'd e-mail address, it's basically just Google messenger ?
If the contact on the other end has their phone number tied to their hangouts app then it'll default to a hangouts internet message but regardless you'll have a little box in the bottom left to switch between hangouts and sms message sending. The app on the Chrome will only send Hangouts message, not SMS.

I saw the toggle for switching between SMS and hangouts. How can hangouts make phone calls, but not pick up SMS ?
How does the phone dialer work for Hangouts ? You just dial out in on the desktop and use headphones and a mic ?

Hangouts can send calls to outside numbers but not receive them, I'd assume not sending SMS on PC is from the idea that you wouldn't receive the response. Unlike Mac and iOS the app on PC for hangouts doesn't interact with your phone at all.
The dialer on hangouts sends calls to outside numbers using the internet, the person on the other end will see the call coming from a hidden number. If you call someone that has hangouts then you'll send a hangouts call with the option to add video to the call. On PC it'll use whatever your default (communications) mic and speakers.
I'm using an alcatel idol 3 running Android 6.01, hangouts 14.0.1.136618992, and Android Auto 2.0.642304. Maps and Audible work fine in displaying and playing over my Rav 4 audio unit (stock, not an AA enabled audio unit). However, I see the Hangouts message on my AA phone screen ("new message from Mitch Fox," for example (substituted any contact who sends me a Hangouts message), but when I press the arrow key next top the Hangouts message I see the Google dots circling for a moment, then the screen returns to AA screen. I never hear the message. I have checked what i believe are all applicable settings and permissions. Am I using this incorrectly? Should it be playing automatically when it arrives. In any case, why don't I hear it over my Bluetooth-linked stock Rav 4 audio unit? Thanks
Hello! I found an unpleasant WhatsApp bug. Using Google Now to send a whatsapp message, is shown correctly on whatsapp but not sent, remains in the "queue" with the clock icon but if you open the application of whatsapp or you get a message from someone at that point is sent, this does not always happen but it happens especially after a few minutes for whatsapp is not opened / used, it seems that the application goes into standby output. Unfortunately this problem limits also the use of whatsapp on a smartwatch Android wear because the response to notifications happens through the voice service of google now.
This happens when you want send new message. Replay always work.
i'm ok with being an idiot, but i can't seem to figure out how to get my incoming texts to give me a buzz on either the phone or samsung watch.
allow all notifications
they're all allowed, google messages thing. i might have to reinstall i guess. i see the notification on my screen and watch, but definitely don't get a buzz or a blip sound
oh, maybe because i have messages for web syncd and open
nope
Do you get other notification sounds?
yes, i'd hate reinstall it....but it might be about that time
Do you use the default Google message app?
Did you set a custom notification sound for text messages?
solved
