Hi folks.
Last week I received an update from HTC to update my One M9 to Android 7. All went well with one exception: Since the update I no longer receive notifications off new SMS messages. They arrive (and send) fine, just no tone, vibes, or system tray (for want of a better description) alerts. The only way to know if I have a new message is to go into messages and have a look (a real pain). My assumption was a setting had somehow changed during the update so checked them.
There are 2 lots of settings for SMS notifications that I can see, one in the general settings (Settings-Apps-Notifications) which seems to be all as it should be, and a second lot accessible within the app itself (Settings-Notifications) where I think the problem may be. When I try to click the Notifications link the app immediately stops working with the message "Messages has stopped unexpectedly" and an offer of sending an error report. This error report is very long with all the details of my phone, hardware and software, but no other info beyond 'package com.htc.sense.mms has crashed'.
I have rebooted the phone a couple of times since the update but that did not help (although it did revive the playstore app which was also poorly after the update), and disabled 'Hangouts' as I read elsewhere this can sometimes be an issue but that did not help either. I have also tried all of the above in safe mode but the problem is still there.
Anybody have any ideas please? Many thanks in advance.

It's been almost a week since the stock Messages app started acting up.
If I try to open the app by tapping the icon, it will start, briefly show the messages and close itselt with an error prompt that allows me to close it or send an error report. If I receive an SMS and tap the notification, the app opens and shows the message, I can reply and it works fine this way.
Restarting the phone sometimes solves this right away but it appears at random times. I don't text that much via SMS (mainly WhatsApp and Skype) but it's annoying to not be able to open the app to send an SMS on the rare occasions I need to.
I have an unlocked US model, I'm not rooted or anything. Using stock with Nova Launcher Prime and a couple icon packs.
Has anyone experienced this problem with the Messages app?
I'm currently waiting for the 4.2.2 update to show on the phone. I hope this is fixed in this update.
If the update doesn't fix it, I will try Textra or SMS Now. I've read good things bout them but I really didn't need an extra messaging app since I received or need to send 1-3 SMS a day.
Having a 3rd-party SMS apps will interfere with the stock Contacts and Dialer apps in some way?

First thing I would do is go into settings > apps >all. Go to messages then force stop. Reset defaults and delete data.. That should reset anything you may have changed on error. If that doesn't work do a factory reset. If that doesn't work then I would say your launcher has a conflict

I already deleted its cached data and reset default options. Could be Nova Prime Launcher having a conflict with Messages, but the strange thing is that it started to happen long after installing Nova.
I'm waiting for the 4.2.2 update. When it shows I will update and do a factory reset.
Thanks
I've been having problems with my notification (and alarm) sounds not coming through. I've got the latest t-mobile stock ROM. Somehow i stumbled across the potential problem. I just found the culprit today, so i don't have a work around yet, but hoping that others will find one. Or I'll post if i get a resolution.
I was missing texts because the phone would not utter a noise when i got one. I checked the volumes and they were all up. Reboots usually fixed it. Somehow (i forget why) I started suspecting my Youmail app. I uninstalled and rebooted. I'm good. then installed it again. still good. I listened to a VM on Youmail app. Then checked notifications and they didn't work. To test, I'd open SMS app (stock) and try to change the notification sound. It would fail (silent) as i tried to preview sounds. But opening the files in the music app or ES explorer would allow them to play.
Reboot would fix the problem. But as soon as i listened to a VM on YouMail app, the notifications would not play in the selection screen for text messages (or in the event of an incoming text). Volumes were still all up.
My current work around is this: after listening to a VM, I bring up the task switcher (double tap home) and swipe away YouMail (effectively terminating the app). That works if you remember to do it. I've sent YouMail a detailed explanation through their online help service. I will update here if i get a response or find closure on this issue.

They updated the app on 8/28/2015. This seems to have fixed the problem.
For past week or two I have been having sms issues. Some of my friends send me sms and they dont get through. It not related to specific provider ( I had issues receiving txt from Sprint and T-mobile and also at&t) Any ideas what could be causing random missing texts ?
btw im using google msg app
I'm having this problem as well. It may be related to this -

Also, I was experiencing this on and off on my Note 5 on Sprint.
I tried to use Samsung messaging app but it doesnt send my mms - this sucks
why only some of us have this issue ?
Try the instructions on that site. I also completely removed Android Messages. I'm using Textra right now. Unfortunately, it's intermittent so we can only tweak things and wait and see if it fixes it :/
Check that your Google Messages app isn't being put to sleep by the battery manager:

I checked and it was for me. I'll see if this fixes it.
So I recently got a P20 Pro. On the whole am enjoying it and it's a good device.
One small thing I've noticed is for some apps (WhatsApp and Android Messages so far) it seems to display the time of the latest notification for that app for all notifications if there are multiple notifications for that app. If that makes sense.
Have a look at the screenshot attached. For WhatsApp they all say 52mins ago, although only the latest one was received 52mins ago. I've tried looking at notification settings both system wide and app specific. I can't seem to work out what the issue is.
Anyone had issues with this too? Or anyone got any suggestions to try fix this?
Same problem here. Can't change default tone for Messages, Gmail, Outlook, Outlook calendar and more... According to Huawei support (Norway), the development team is aware of the issue, and are "working on it".
Sorry, replied in wrong thread :silly:
Notifications are a mess on this phone. Can't expand them on the lock screen to read the full text or reply, can't long press and change notification-sound for each app like on every other phone running Oreo. The worst thing is that has been like this for months now and yet they haven't fixed it with a firmware update.
Hi everyone, as the title suggests, I have a serious problem with notifications from the Vivo X90PP on Garmin Epix Gen 2.
To be more specific, notifications from all apps on the phone are ALL working, except Whatsapp message notifications for one-time chats and group chats. Phone calls on whatsapp, the backup start notification, arrive and are displayed on the Garmin Epix, only the messages NO!
I gave every existing permission on the smartphone and the garmin, I also tried to format the garmin and install WA again. NOTHING. They worked for a day (Monday) then yesterday morning it stopped sending WA Business notifications and normal WA in the afternoon (I use the phone in dual sim).
I tried with only one account on the device at a time, but nothing. I don't know what to do anymore, I also wrote to Garmin Assistance and I'm waiting for a reply, and above all I trust a lot in the help of the XDA community.
I forgot, all the Apps are updated to the latest version and Vivo is with version PD2227B_A_13.0.20.7.W10.V000L1 (any news for security updates and various improvements to the software?).
I thank all those who will and can help me.
Update: I'm trying a Galaxy Watch 3 with TizenOS, same problem here too. No notification of W.A. messages only. Could it be a W.A. app settings/permissions issue?
I'm receiving my Epix 2 PRO on Tuesday, I will let you know if I have the same problem.
Update: The problem lay in the DARK mode. I deactivated the dark mode, I was able to verify that everything is now working. Setting the black theme through a single app doesn't create the problem, the problem is only through the dark theme through the VIVO settings. I hope this feedback helps
