So I got my Nexus 6 the other day and I am coming from an LG G3, both on Verizon. I have hangouts installed on those 2 devices plus a Windows 8 and a Windows 7 PC. When I send messages in either a group hangout or a normal single person hangout on the PC, the messages do not sync to my Nexus 6 but does to my LG G3 on Wifi. Plus I am constantly getting a spinning update circle in my hangouts app like it is waiting for more conversations to pop up but nothing ever comes.
I can send and receive messages on my phone in hangouts and they will show up in the chats on my PC but not the other way around. This is pretty frustrating because I come and go from my computer a lot and would like up to date conversations. This is the only device i have ever had an issue like this with. Anyone have any idea how to fix it? i tried removing hangouts from the system, restoring from my last phone, restoring back to stock, signing out of the phone, signing out of the PC, everything. I just don't know how to fix it.

I doubt it's you. Same thing is happening on my sister's Note 3 (AT&T). Might just be a server thing that needs to be addressed...
huh...weird. since this is the only device of mine doing it. my nexus 7 seems to be updating just fine too.
I'm in the same boat. I never ran into this on my OnePlus One, but I switched about a week ago when my Nexus 6 came in and now any messages I send from the desktop/Chrome version does not sync into Hangouts on my Nexus. In addition to not having the issue with my OPO, my Galaxy Tab Pro tablet does not have this issue. Neither does my wife's LG G3. We're both on T-Mobile.
Wanted to jump in to this topic to say I am experiencing a similar issue on both my Droid Turbo (4.4.4) and my Nexus 7 (5.0.1)... I am beginning to wonder if it is something related to Lollipop. The major way I can tell there is an issue, is if I clear cache and data from Hangouts and re-sign in, none of my previous undeleted hangouts show up. Only if I open a new Hangout with that contact will I see the conversation history.
I am having the same issue on my Note 2 as I wait for my N6 to ship. It started happening as soon as I updated the app to the latest version
FYI, I updated to the latest version of Hangouts and all syncs again. http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/hangouts/hangouts-2-5-81587410-apk/
Hi,
Just got the verizon S8 a week ago and this has been driving me nuts. When my gf calls, her name doesn't come up. Only displays her number. My contacts are on my gmail account. All other contacts i have show up. She has an iphone and her name showed up on my old s5. Her phone is already set to display caller ID and so is mine. I spend like a few hours aday trying to troubleshoot this.. No luck whatsowever. Weird thing is, sometimes when she calls, her number appears with a ;oli=62 behind it. Example: 714-555-5555;oli=62. I googled oli (originating line information) but it makes no sense to me..
Things i've tried already:
1) resync gmail contacts
2) deleted her contact on gmail/phone/etc
3) readded her contact to phone internal storage and also gmail again
4) tried in safe mode to see if a application is blocking it
5) rebooted phone of course
6) re-adding her contact info with her data deleted from gmail
7) called verizon support
8) and last but not least.. reset/restored original s8 to factory
HELP.. i was gonna try to exchange the phone for another s8 but i really don't think that might be the issue.. i tried researching IPHONE issues with caller ID not showing up but all her settings seems correct.
Thanks in advance.
Same...
I'm having the same issue on my Note 5 after updating to Nougat. I'm having the issue with only one friend, no one else.
I found a temp fix. Go to your a computer and log into your Google contacts. Add that weird number. Example. 555-555-5555;oli=62 to the contact along with the regular number. That should fix it.

Same issue on my new s8+, adding the number plus ;oli=62 on the Google contacts via editing from your Google contacts from googles website works great, thanks for the work around. The only problem I have with these Samsung devices is the slow ass updates. Their still on 7.0 even though 7.1.2 has been released for months
Me too. I have a Note 5 on VZW. Pretty sure it started after the Nougat update as well. And also for only one contact. I know I could add those characters to the contact info, but I want to know why the heck it happens for only one contact. Found this info (not that it cleared up jack for me, lol) - https://www.dialogic.com/webhelp/IMG1010/10.5.3/WebHelp/oli_isdn_sip.htm
i have this same problem. It is on a S6 and has been happening since before the Nougat update. It only happens to me for 2 contacts 1 full time and the other off and on. If i look at the missed calls screen afterwards the phone displays the correct contact just during the incoming call is it not displaying.
the problem actually stopped for me around the time of the roll-out and then started back up a week or so later.
The only connection that i can find is that both of them use Family mobile (T-mobile) service.
Last time i researched this problem, i found the same problem a few years ago with T-mobile and VOIP phones but never found a solution
its the feds
Are you just being a douche or are you serious?

This is the same problem I'm having. I have the S8 on Verizon the two contacts whose numbers don't work are both on T-Mobile. One of the numbers it happens to constantly and has the xxx-xxx-xxxx;oli=62 while the other number does it intermittently w/o the extra's at the end.
"Me To" Bus
Ok, I'm a "Me to" I blocked all phone calls except for people in my contacts, because of all the Spam calls.
But my best friend gets blocked because of this problem.
I have a Samsung S4 Note, Also using Verizon. And google contacts.
I'm going to save him only under Verizon Contacts. And see if that does anything.
He is using a Blu Phone and also using T-Moble.
Anyone have any idea's?

my phone just started doing this when I installed a reminder ap. I uninstalled it, and it stopped. Hope this helps.
I just got my A71. Currently using it here in the US on Tmobile.
For some reason, on Google Messages app, messages are stuck in sending when I am connected to wifi. If I disconnect, the messages will go through. I reconnect the wifi and sometimes the first 1-2 messages go through but then it gets hung up again. Can anyone else try and confirm if this is an issue as well?
I tried resetting network settings.
Using the native Samsung message app doesnt seem to have issue.
I even thought it had something to do with transfer my old data from my Android 9 phone to this A71 that is on Androidn 10, so I just factory reset the A71 and just installed the google messages app, still the same issue.
A week ago, RCS messaging on stock Samsung App was still working. Updated the Carrier services app on Google play and it seems to have turned off the RCS feature. Called Vodafone (carrier) and asked Samsung about the issue. The seem to be throwing the ball back and forth with no solution. I've tried the google messages but it's stuck on verifying. Done some troubleshooting with no effect.
Went back on the default Samsung Messaging app but it says Registration failed.
Anyone going through the same thing? Who's got solutions that worked for them

Where do you live ?
I had the exact same issue, first you need to verify your number on Google Messages, if it does not work : Airplane Mode, wipe date of Carrier Services and Messages app, then try again.
For me it has been stuck on verifying for 3 days. Jibe service was buggy.
When it's verified, download Google Chat, and go back to the Samsung app, a prompt is gonna ask you for your phone number, and that's it.
I live in New Zealand.
Thanks! I've already done that. Ill wait for a few days to try again
And, then people wonder why so many businesses in the US are adopting iMessage to communicate with their customers instead of RCS. Google has got to take control of RCS completely. Otherwise, there's no hope for it. These carriers are worthless animals.

If they wanted to, they could just use SMSor anything else universal.
USA just love Apple, that's it

SMS doesn't work well for business related chat -- too many features lacking.
I don't think people really care about the RCS feature above other features their preferred texting app may have. Otherwise everyone would just switch to Google messages and that would be that. But nope. My entire extended family of around 50 relatives are 98% Android users. I would say only 4 of us use Google messages. And that's cause I forced my two kids to and then installed it in my cousins galaxy without him knowing and he just left it on. That's it.
Need help diagnosing and solving a bizarre problem: S10 doesn't receive texts from a specific sender, except after restarting, retroactively receives all texts sent by that sender. Supernatural powers might be involved, given the sender's phone is mine, and the fickle S10 is my wife's.
I'm including a lot of info below, b/c this seems to be a tough problem to diagnose, so I'm erring on the side of completeness.
Specs: My phone is an LG V35, rooted with Magisk, Android 9. Her S10 is not rooted, running Android 9. Her phone is logged in to the same Google account I use on the Play Store, so that she can use any of my paid apps without paying again. (This has never caused any SMS problems in the past, just annoyances like her getting my reminders, which I then turned off on her phone.)
The problem started on 10/26/22 (about three weeks ago). I know this b/c I sent her a long text that day, which her phone received immediately, followed by another text that same day, which she didn't receive until eight days later on 11/3/22. There were several other texts I sent btw 10/26 and 11/2 that she didn't receive until 11/3. However, we did not catch this problem until yesterday (11/17), when she discovered that I had not, in fact, been ghosting her, but that her phone was not getting my texts. We found this out b/c some other app on her phone wasn't behaving normally, so I restarted her phone -- and BAM, all my unreceived texts suddenly arrived on her phone. Since then, I've tried texting her phone, and it receives nothing from me until a restart, and then her phone receives all my texts retroactively.
As far as we can tell, neither of our phones has any problem with SMS communications with anyone else's phone (except some iPhones -- don't get me started). Other people receive my texts normally, and her phone receives other people's texts normally.
I tried texting her from two different Google Voice accounts I have (both different from the Google account our phones share), and her phone received both G-Voice texts immediately.
I tried changing my SMS app (from Pulse to Textra). No effect (her S10 didn't receive texts until restarting). I tried changing her SMS app. No effect. I did a Samsung software update (thru Settings) on her phone. No effect.
I have an old S10e, my last phone before I switched to the LG. As an experiment, I popped her phone's SIM card into my old S10e. I installed an SMS app neither of us has ever used before, Handcent Next, on the S10e. Without doing anything else (i.e. w/o transferring her S10 data or settings to the S10e), I texted her number from my LG. The text arrived immediately in Handcent. I thought, Eureka!
I promptly factory-reset my S10e, and used Samsung's Smart Switch to transfer "Everything" from her S10 to the S10e. After all her data, apps, & settings were transferred to the S10e, I texted her number, and… NOTHING. The S10e did not receive my text, until I restarted it.
So, my question to all Android sleuths out there is: What the hell?
Excellent detail and info.
My initial guess may be because you're sharing the Google account. Yes, I know you said this didn't cause problems before, but now with Google Messages (I know you're not using that, but still) doing lots of RCS and background stuff, I imagine there may be some behind-the-scenes interaction that is causing problems. I'm not saying this is a fault of RCS or anything like that, but I think the sharing may be the issue?
I would suggest trying to create a new Google account, and keeping the phones on separate accounts... it's a free and easy test, I figure... and you seem quite skilled in more difficult things, so this should be easy enough?
Also note, some apps support family sharing, so if you setup a "family" between the two accounts, you may get the purchased apps on both accounts without too much issue. My wife and I do this and it has worked pretty well for our apps. (FWIW, we both have S10+ and use GMessages on separate google accounts, family shared, and don't have any issues with texts, etc.)
schwinn8: I liked your idea & reasoning, and I implemented it -- new personal Gmail account for her, added to my G-family. Restarted her phone, and sent her a text which did not arrive. (I texted her from a Google Voice account, and that SMS arrived instantly.) I then restarted her phone again, and, for the first time, the initial text still did not arrive. That's new, at least.
What setting could possibly delay a text from coming in?
Well, that's not the direction I wanted things to go either!
Not sure what else could delay texts from coming in... not aware of any delay mechanisms in most cases.
Are both on Wifi during this process? Is the LG running a ROM with working VOWIFI? Yes, I am grasping at straws...
Well, recalling my old Windows 3.x experiences, I factory-reset the S10e (my old phone), and installed all of my wife's apps and recreated all her settings on it from scratch -- i.e. no transferring apps or settings from her phone. A labor-intensive solution, to be sure, but it is working so far. The S10e receives my texts normally.
