Hey guys, about two weeks ago I was wondering why my mom hadn't called (we use Hangouts) and I thought it was weird. It was only until she called my cell phone that I realized that Hangouts wasn't working at all (even though it was open in the background).
I always used to get the call sound and the notification tray flashed saying that I was getting a video call. Same thing for messages (not SMS), even if I hadn't opened Hangouts all day at all, I would still receive SMS and video call invites. I accidentally Greenified Google Voice (since you can't Greenify Hangouts) and I thought that might be the culprit, so I degreenified it, and restarted my phone. That didn't work. I also Disabled a whole bunch of useless apks (or so I thought) with NoBloat and I'm pretty sure it was around this time that Hangouts stopped working and incidentally also any alarm app that I tried to use (I have to use stock alarm now). I re-enabled all of the disabled apks, and restarted my phone once again. This also did not work.
I have also posted on the official Google Hangouts Help forum about this issue, but I'm pretty sure they're just going to tell me that Hangouts just suddenly **** itself because I'm not on 4.4 and probably because I'm rooted. I have gone back on any changes I made that might have caused this issue. Google Voice is not greenified anymore, and I don't have ANY apks disabled at all. I even turned ChatOn back on thinking that maybe that was why.
Here is a list of things that I have already done that I have found on other forums:
Clear cache of Hangouts and Google Voice
Make sure Show Notifications is checked (it is).
I have uninstalled Hangouts updates, and reinstalled them.
I have restarted my phone numerous times.
I've shut off my laptop, tablets, and desktop so it would HAVE to go through my phone. It didn't.
"Whitelisted" Google Voice and Hangouts on any application that could possibly be closing it.
I have a SG S3 SGH-T999 T-Mobile (Unlocked) with baseband version T999UVUENC2. I don't remember how exactly I rooted my phone but I just know it's rooted. I'm on 4.3 and I have been for ages. It kind of feels like, even if I physically open Hangouts it's hard for any application to recognize that's it's running in the background, and in fact, some applications don't recognize it at all even if I just opened the application.
I don't know what's wrong, does anyone have a similar problem?
Wrong forum this is for the i9300 only, but you've broken your firmware by disabling system components. Reflash your firmware then factory reset, don't use any guides or files from this forum.

So problem is I am not getting notifications on my Android devices for a lot of apps, I seem to get notifications for Email and Calendar and SMS but that's about it, nothing for / Facebook / Skype ect.
I seem to get notifications on Hangouts now for SMS but not for a standard Hangouts message.
At first I thought it may be because I had the webpage for that app open on my PC, so shut down the pages, still no notifications?
Getting quite annoying now as its the same on my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (Both run 4.3).
A factory reset has been suggested and whilst it may fix things I would rather get to the bottom of the issue first so I know for future reference, also the N7 is pretty new and both lost notifications pretty much at the same time so perhaps a factory reset wont do anything.
Ad both devices had the same issue at the same time I wonder if its something on my account thats b0rked in some way?
Any thoughts?
Ok I am not sure if this should be in this forum, but I was wanting to know if anyone had a possible solution to the problem I have with kik messenger, the problem has been with me for about 3 weeks now, kik are claiming the problem is on my side, but its only kik the problems are with, so what actually happened was on my account I was receiving some messages but not all, and also when I was sending messages the majority of them stayed on "s" which means I think that its not getting delivered, even though the people I messaged were online and were not having any problems them selfs, unless it was to me, i had a good internet connection, so thats not the issue, I would send 1 or two messages and they got delivered, I cant seem to find a problem as all other apps work fine, I did try taking my battery out, restarting my phone etc etc, the strange thing is I opened another account and it sent and received messages perfectly for maybe about two hours and then done the exact same, so I opened another account and that done it aswell, in fact ive opened 4 kik accounts to see if it done the same and it has, strange I know, I have actually tried signing into all the acounts 1 by 1 and still the same problems , does anyone know why this is happening and have a solution to this? I would not ask in here but ive tried everything else and nothing seems to work, ive even uninstalled kik about 3 times and reinstalled it but still same problems, kik are not helping and I know this place has alot of very smart people and geniuses so I thought I could get a solution on here, if not a solution then maybe even just an answer to why this is happening to me and if possible if it is fixable, thanks again for reading my thread and I hope to hear back from someone, thanks .bazza.
Same problem here - some additional info
I've been having the same problem with my kik app since I updated to the newest version of the app. One extra thing to note is that when I try to add anyone new or search for a user, I get a dialog box that says I don't have a network connection. My network connection is fine, and other apps don't seem to have any problem with it. I disconnected from wifi to test it out, and it doesn't even recognize my phone's connection as active. I'm really confused, but I think the problem has to do with something in the update not jiving with how these phones connect?
Hello friends,
I am here with a possible solution. sometimes kik servers can go down, unfortunately, but don't worry. there are spikes, so all you have to do is check constantly. Eventually, it should work.
P.S- when kik servers go down, the current messages you are recieving/sending may have the time of when the kik server went online for the first time. The rest will have their own times however, so do not worry if something as such happens.
KiK Messenger
Use KiK Messenger. Chat with your friends with full freedomly. You can use both windows version and mobile version.Great messenger ever.
i have an htc one m7. everything seems to work fine with watch and phone, i'm using google hangouts for my texts. problem is none of them are showing up on the watch. well one did tonite, but thats been it. i was running skyvi so messages would show up on phone screen, and the g watch messages worked then, only problem was that on the watch when the messages showed up thru skyvi on the watch, when it said "tap here to reply" nothing would happen. so i deleted skyvi and like i said now i get nothing. i reset the watch, re-paired it. and nothing worked. any ideas? also anyone else finding the g watch is a tremendous drain on the phone battery. i barely use it during the day and by 1 or 2 i'm down to 55% power on the phone.
Make sure to set notifications in Hangouts to vibrate.
Thanks Devs, from my LG G2

Shouldn't need to...I don't have mine set to vibrate and I get all my Hangouts notifications
I have also noticed a large drain on my phone battery, much more than with my Pebble. But there is nothing abnormal in the battery stats, at all. No strange wakelocks, nothing.
HELP! hangouts sms problems

i have the factory version of hangouts on my htc one m7 if i send a text to myself. i get it on the phone, but nothing on the watch. if i switch text apps to something like textra and turn on augmented smartwatch pro, the texts come thru on the watch, but with the little icon of augmented smartwatch pro. BUT i cant voice reply to any sms since i am not using hangouts. any ideas how to fix hangouts so the texts come thru on the watch? ive called LG and no luck. and htc just tells me i cant delete hangouts from the phone, if i try, it always replaces it with the factory version.

Are you updating Hangouts to the most recent version? I wouldn't expect the factory version to do anything... Wear didn't exist back then. Also, when you're sending yourself a text... Be sure you either turn off the phone display or exit out of Hangouts before the text is received. Otherwise the watch won't alert you to something that's right in front of your face anyway.

thanks to someone here who mentioned GoSMS. its configured for android wear and lets you send voice replies like google hangouts. so that solved the problem. who needs hangouts anyway
Ok... I'm desperate. I hope someone can fix my issue. I don't receive ANY push notifications from certain messaging/texting apps... Like for instance: Hangouts. Also, I've just installed discord (voice and messaging app) , and nothing. Which confused me even more because it's only ever just been a hangouts/google problem. They only work if I open the app.. Then it just appears as normal, but what's the point of that? I've noticed this only happens for chat apps. Also that doesn't work: AndChat (irc app)
I'm assuming this only applies to messaging/texting apps becsuse every other app works fine.
So I finally started trying to figure this out because it's really bugging me, so I download the app push notification tester (which failed) as well as a app named PNF... Which relayed this information: received: com.google.android.talk CANCELLED / discord.com CANCELLED when I've had someone send me a message on any of these apps.
Also of note: I've tried many texting apps and practically none worked except for kik and steam which I did receive push notifications for properly.
Anyway... I'm lost and I hope someone can help me with this issue. Otherwise, my device works perfectly.
I'm running rooted fire hd 6 dev preview 5.1 and all correct versions of apps like Google play services and any others as far as I know.
Thanks and pleeease help
P. S. I just noticed chrome beta is saying CANCELLED as well for whatever reason.
Hi all,
I'm running a custom rom on a Huawei H1611 Ascent XT with only addition modification being Magisk V12 (I've tried posting this question in it's thread, but so far no luck https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-ascend-xt-nexusxt-b160-t3597766 ). The rom replaced lots of stock apps with google apps so maybe something is going on there.
Basically, gmail, hangouts, and groupme all fail to notify me of a new email or message, especially when the phone is off. As a test, if someone sends me a hangout message, I won't receive it until I open the hangouts app.
I've gone through all the notification settings, the battery optimization settings (ensure gmail, play services, hangouts all set to no battery optimize), and can't find ANYTHING to cause this issue. Also done multiple wipes and reflashes.
I feel like one time I read about a blocked wakelock causing an issue similar to this but I can't recall it. Does anyone know what could cause an issue like this and how can I figure out what is going on? Driving my crazy...
thanks!
