No sound text messages - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every text I get I have no notification sound also I can't even go into settings> notification just crashes and restarts. I'm on a custom rom but in odd too cause I've never had this issue before. Actually I don't even get sound notifications for certain apps like clash of clans it just vibrates.

Text message app problems

I have a couple of problems with the text message app.
First, there are a couple of conversations that will crash the phone. I believe they may have to do with the amount of texts in the conversation (one is my sister and one is my girlfriend and those are the people I text the most). If I try to open either one of their conversations, the app will freeze up for a good minute or two. I can force close it but other than that, it's unresponsive. However, if I first open a different conversation and then go back and open the lengthier one, it will work just fine. Has anybody had this issue?
Second problem is that many times when I open a conversation, the app starts at the top (at the oldest text first) and I have to manually scroll to the bottom to see the latest texts.
Neither are a real serious problem but the crashing of the app when opening the lengthier conversations is very annoying.
I am rooted on the stock ROM but I have had these problems even before I rooted and even though I'm rooted, I haven't made any changes to anything (I rooted but have been unable to install a custom ROM due to my firmware).

Try using hangouts(google's texting app).
I use it and it works, runs smooth, and looks great
Give Hangouts a try first but I had to switch to the app Textra because MMS sporadically worked for me on Hangouts. I hope they have an updated material version of Hangouts when the rest of the material GAPPS arrive.

[Q] Phone vibrates random

Hi guys,
I am having some problem.
Since a few weeks my phone vibrates random and I do not how to disable it. I turned vibration off in settings and in other apps. And the phone vibrates when I don't recieve any notifications. When I put it on the table for charging it stoppes after a while.
It is very annoying for me. If there is a method for completely stopping the vibration motor let me know.
Thanks.

Such vibration must cause an application. Remind yourself what you installed a few weeks ago.
Thanks. I tried to see some app settings and turned it off. The problem is that I don't see any notifications at all. I even installed the Xposed App, 'Less Frequent Notifier', but it doesn't work. And it is very hard to find the toxic app, because I have about 400~500 installed apps.
Is there some system log file where I can see which apps send the command to vibrate?

Install "Wakelock Detector" on your device. Once you sense a vibration, open the app and look for an app that uses the phone vibrator. You might want to try to get accurate information, as the app doesn't offer sorting based on time of trigger.
To get an accurate information, you can have the phone randomly vibrates for a day, and then open the WLD app and find the app responsible for vibrating.
An example is attached.
OR
You can use the App Ops. once you feel a vibration, quickly go to your App Ops, get to the "Device" tab (or section...) and choose the corresponding app that you suspect vibrating your phone. The apps listed there are sorted from recent permission trigger (or usage). So all you need to check is the top part of the list.

App notification issues

Ok I'm new here, signed up just to get help with this, so here's my problem.
Just got a new phone, a Nexus 6 (not the 6p). Upgraded to Android 6.0. Previously had a Note 3 running kitkat. On my Note 3 if I got new posts to a thread I'm subscribed to on a forum I'm a member of, new messages on Instagram or new messages on kik my phone notified me that I had the message. The app didn't have to be running for this to work. With my Nexus 6 however that isn't the case!
Text messages, voicemails and emails all work fine and notify my just the way they should, it's only the 3rd party apps that don't work. I know it's not the apps because like I mentioned it's ALL the installed 3rd party apps doing this! It has to have something to do with the Nexus 6 or the Android 6.0 or a combination of the 2.
I scoured the web looking for answers, including this forum, and came up empty so here's the information that people usually ask for:
1) My phone isn't on silent or do not disturb mode
2) My volume is turned up
3) Sound and notification settings-App notifications are normal and allow peaking for the apps in question. Treat as priority if not on because I don't want the notifications when I'm sleeping but this shouldn't keep them from coming in normally when the volume isn't turned off.
4) Settings-Apps for each app the notifications ARE NOT blocked and allow peaking is on.
5) I enabled ALL requested permissions for each app just to make sure a blocked permission wasn't the problem.
6) I white listed each app from battery optimization to ensure this wasn't causing the problem.
7) Battery saver is not turned on.
8) Push notifications are turned on and allowed for each app in the settings on the app and the notifications sound in the app settings is my default notification, which is set because it's the same one I get when the app is running.
Someone please help! This is driving me crazy. Like I mentioned I get the notifications if I have the app running in the background but if the app is off I don't. On my last phone I didn't have to leave the app running 24/7, draining my battery, to get the notifications! Is there some way to fix this????
Also, I already wiped the system data partition.

Are you using a custom ROM or did you take an OTA to get to Android 6.0? I also wanted to ask if you were getting the proper notifications from using lollipop 5.1.1 while you were on it? If you took the OTA I'd suggest wiping app cache/data for kik and that MIGHT restore the kik functionality. If it works for that one app it may work for others.
You haven't installed a third-party notification system at all have you? Like Teslaunread or anything else that requests notification access on your device?

I know you said battery saver is not turned on now, but did you ever have it on? I ask because ever since I turned it on for a few hours (then turned it off and kept it off), 3rd-party notifications have been wonky.
No custom ROM, I took OTA to get to 6.0 but I didn't install any of the APP's prior to getting to 6.0 so I don't know if they would have worked with 5.1.1 or not unfortunately.
I do have Nova Launcher and use Teslaunread with that but I had that on my previous phone and it didn't interfere with any of my notifications coming through.
And yes the battery saver was on a couple times when the battery got low.
Ahhh see you are making a misconception. The app has to be running to get notifications. At least the service does. When you killed them with your old device it only removed them from your view. It didn't really close them out. Unlike stock Android. If you kill the app then it is really killed. Killing the app will also stop the service which prevents your notifications from coming in.
Your best bet is to leave it be.

Actually leaving it running in the back ground still won't give me the notification, I only get the notification when I click on the app and open it, even if it is listed as running in the background. I found that out because I did start leaving the apps running so I'd get the notifications, only to find out that didn't fix my problem like I thought it would.

Do you have greenify or any apps that effect doze installed?
Could have been an issue with the OTA, you could flash the Stock 6.0 image via Fastboot, it may be worth trying PNF on android play, i use the root version so not sure on the non root but it's stops delayed notifications.

I used greenify w/root on my last phone but not this one. I don't think any of my apps would affect doze and turned doze off for the apps I've had trouble with to try and make sure doze wasn't the issue. Still not luck.

I may try those option and see if they help. This is driving me crazy, I figured a newer operating system would mean a better android experience but so far I was a lot happier with kitkat than I have been with marshmallow.

Cannot disable the V40 messaging application

I use an app called Mood for all my SMS messaging and really like it. It is working perfectly on my V40, but every morning at the same time I am getting a spam message in the Messaging app and the notification goes to my smart watch. It is really annoying , but I do not know how to stop it. The message does not come to the Mood app, just to Messaging. There is also no apparent way of blocking it in Messaging. The phone will not let me uninstall or disable the Messaging app. I think I am pretty much out of luck, but though I would ask all you people at XDA. If anybody would have a solution, somebody here would!
Edit: There is a "mute" option in Messaging that I just activated for this message. Did not notice this before. I will find out tom morn if this works!
Long click on the app icon, tap on the i in circle option, go to permissions and untick every one of them. Then, go to storage and wipe data and cache. That should do it. While you're there, you may also want to disable it, undo every access the app possibly could have. Whittle it down to nothing more than taking up space in the system partition

I did all of that, plus installed an app called Package Disabler for LG devices, disabled Messaging in it, and I am still getting this message every morn. The mystery deepens!
Sounds like a 'push notification' from an app, not a regular text message.

Verizon model? Is the spam message related to the app or something else?
If you get another notification, long press it in the notification screen and disable notifications from the app.
Using Android Messaging app and never had this issue.

Can't Change Notification Sound in Samsung Text Message App

Have tried Samsung, Verizon, and Android text message apps. Can change notification sound in app BUT, no matter what it says in app, the default system notification plays. Changed system notification sound and now get it in message app but also (as expected) everywhere else. This was a slam dunk on my S9. What am I missing?
Mike
Additional info -
After posting first message, links to similar popped up. Followed to individual apps in notifications. Two problems. Can't find where I changed default system notification and, having used Zedge in a couple places, I now cannot get to anything but the Zedge app downloads or site. Can't get to any "default" sounds that came with phone.

Got the Zedge thing fixed - I had accidentally set Zedge as default.
BUT, the notification issue persists. It does not seem to matter whether I change notification sound directly in app or thru apps section of settings, I still get only whatever is set in the system notification area !! It SAYS in the app that I have changed the sound BUT it STILL goes to the default sound. Is this a bug in the S10 ??
