Hello All,
I'm pretty experienced with Android and flashing new software and all that, but I am at my wits end this time. Last week I installed a ROM on my Sprint HTC One M7 that had hangouts as the default SMS app. I hate hangouts, so I installed a third party app. I only ended up having that ROM installed for a day or two before flashing a new one, and suddenly I couldn't receive SMS. I tried tons of things before finally ending up running the RUU to flash back to stock. Since hangouts is in the stock ROM, as soon as it booted, all of my texts popped up right there in hangouts, where they had been being diverted the whole time, despite SMS being turned off in Hangouts.
This time, I updated Hangouts, toggled SMS on and then off again, but all of my incoming texts were still going to Hangouts and not appearing in my stock SMS app at all. Finally, I flashed an updated stock rooted ROM, and no matter what I try, I cannot get Hangouts to stop handling my incoming texts. This is absolutely infuriating, because as aforementioned, I'd rather lobotomize myself with a chopstick than use Hangouts. Has anyone else encountered this? Please help me!
Thanks!

Go into the application manager, find Hangouts, and clear defaults. If you don't use it for anything else, you can always disable/delete it.

I appreciate the suggestion, but unfortunately this was one of the first things that I tried and it did not work. Hangouts currently has no defaults set and is disabled on my phone. There was a 48 hour period where Hangouts wasn't even installed on my phone but it was still handling incoming texts.

I agree! I wouldn't be here if I wasn't stumped. I had something similar happen with Google voice back on ICS when I had an SGS2, but eventually I was able to disable it. This time I am at a loss for real.

Duplicate installation, perhaps? I had this weird thing going on the other day where Titanium did an automatic restore after flashing a batch install of backups, and I had 2 iterations of Weather Bug (different versions). There have also been times where certain sideloaded apps had 2 iterations installed.
Try using a root file explorer and searching for for Hangouts. Maybe there's an .apk somewhere that still loads up even though it's not "installed" anymore.

Gonna check right now just to rule it out but I don't have high hopes since I did a full wipe before installing the Lollipop ROM that didn't contain Hangouts at all. I appreciate the continued suggestions though.

No Gapps packages, no batch restores? Maybe Google is doing it automatically when you first activate the phone. You're given the option to backup/restore your account, and if you do, the phone will start downloading apps that you had installed before.

Hmmmmm, that's one thing I did not think about, is using the Google restore feature when fresh installing. I did flash GAapps with the Lollipop Build but immediately disabled Hangouts. I wonder if maybe the setting isn't being applied "behind the scenes" when I flash a new ROM and allow Google to automatically restore settings. I'll have to play with this a bit. Thanks again.

That could be it. Installed, then disabled, then installed again automatically. If the restore is coming from a different source from Play Store, it's possible it's not making the same checks for existing installations, giving you a duplicate.

Man, I am really about to pull my hair out with this whole thing. I just installed a new ROM deleted Hangouts from system/app using root explorer after denying the auto-restore for Google and I still couldn't receive texts. Rebooted. Sent myself a few more test texts before re-installing hangouts and lo and behold, Hangouts had been receiving the texts even while not installed on any android device that I own. If Hangouts was a building, I would have looted it and burned it to the ground about an hour ago.

I was wondering if you had any luck finding what causes all the text to go to hangouts. I can receive MMS through messenger but not SMS. I thought I was the only person with this annoying problem. I was about to order another device but there has to be a solution to this problem.

Dray,
I did eventually solve it, though the problem persisted even after RUU. It turns out that the issue was with Google Voice. I don't use Google Voice, but I flashed a ROM that had SMS turned on in Google Voice by default. When I flashed a new ROM, sms was still being handled by Google Voice despite neither Voice nor Hangouts being installed on my phone. You should go into settings in Google Voice and make sure sms is turned off. If the app is not installed on your phone, download it and make sure it is turned off anyway, because as aforementioned it was affecting my sms even though Google Voice wasn't even installed. This should solve it.

I got this text message upon someone leaving a voice message earlier today.
//ANDROID:xxxxxxxxxx has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call 408-970-0000 to listen. MMSN,15f50fe30,2986,V69EhxxlPpO//CM
Anyone else having this issue, and if so, what resolved it, if anything?
I also can't seem to get into my notification options when I call into my voice mail either. Not sure if that's common or not though.
Sent from my HTC 3VO using XDA App
Someone left me a message this morning, it worked perfect. I would force stop it, clear data from the app, update your data profile then reboot and see if it works.
I gave it a shot, but it didn't seem to work. When I call the number texted to me, it just asks if I'm on a voice SMS enabled phone, but doesn't give me any messages.
I tried the suggestion on the help page through the VVM app, to compose a message longer than 15 sec and send it to [email protected]. Haven't had an occasion yet to test it again, but once I do, I'll update this with another reply.
Strange though. Through many different phone activations over the years, this is the only time this happened. Really hope I don't need to do a hard reset. If I do, I hope it works. Not like I can nandroid or anything. lol
Sent from my HTC 3VO using XDA App
Still a no go... Can't figure it out. ; ;
Gonna call Sprint and see what their take is on it. Will report back.
i am actually having the same EXACT problem!! i have tried for force stop and clearing everything... still getting the same message!! and the VM never shows up in the VVM app!! Thanks for any help!!
I guess that's the only other thing I can think of is a hard reset. If that doesn't work I'm guessing it's something on Sprint's side would have to call in for tech support. I know when you boot up for the first time VM tries to provision itself and will say Voicemail provisioned successfully once data services are active.
Well... Just got off the phone with support. I had a very determined girl trying to help me out. Went through a whole bunch of stuff, but nothing helped so far.
Her and I both googled it, and found 2 things:
1. People switching to a phone that doesn't have VVM capability receive these messages.
2. They are command messages to tell VVM to download each new message when they come in.
Can't figure out why the messages are skipping the VVM app and going straight to SMS though.
I think I'm gonna try a hard reset later and see if that does it. Hope it does, because I spent some time getting everything the way I wanted it. lol
Anyone think of a good backup app that'll help cut down on the restoring my stuff time? ^^;
ADDITION: The version of my VVM is T.5.1.0.62 Is this the one everyone else has also? Asking just to cover as many bases as possible.
Had the the same problem called sprint after about 45 min of trying different things i had to hard reset and they reprovisioned and now it works perfect.

Hard Reset did it. It was A LOT more painless than I thought it'd be though. That backup and restore thing from google really helped out a lot in getting all my apps back. ^^
Also make sure you do not have Handcent's "disable stock messaging app" setting on. When it disables the stock app, the stock app can't get the 9016 incoming VVM messages before Handcent does and will cause this.

You're welcome. I doubt it but maybe the Hancent team can find a work around for this. It seems to me that if you disable it it's disabled but maybe they can block all incoming from the stock app except 9016, kind of like a reverse black list (actually they call those white lists don't they?, lol). I'd like to see that happen, but we'll see what the Hancent crew comes up with. I know others have said that other sms apps can do this or something like that, but I like Hancent better than all the others.
Anyways, glad I could help.
My issue's back again. Did have that setting on though, so I'll restart and see if that does the trick. ^^;

I've been trying to tell my wife that for a long time, maybe I can use this as proof, she keeps saying I'm not that smart.
But glad I could help, if I hadn't done it myself I wouldn't have known how to fix it, lol.
Use spc app to "block" the text messages but still get voicemails if using Handcent.
Just wanted to pass this on to you guys, as it has always worked for me. I had the Evo rooted with a custom AOSP rom and had used GV as voicemail then decided I wanted Sprint VVM back. When I made the switch everything seemed okay, but when someone called my phone and it went to voicemail it wouldn't let them leave one. Did some reading and finally figured out something that worked.
1. Stop the VVM process in running apps.
2. Clear the data for Voicmail under applications.
3. Dial *38 and call it as you would any other number( You should hear a few beeps and then it should automatically hangup) This has something to do with disabling call forwarding but will allow your voicemail to properly provision itself.
4. Open VVM and it should tell you that it has been provisioned successfully.
You should be good to go after this point, but if it does not tell you along the bottom of phone that it provisioned try this again but reboot before step 4. Some have also said that updating your profile and prl after doing the *38 helps.
Just thought I would share this as I read the comments about a hard reset when they aren't needed. I'm not to sure this would help with the issue described by the OP but hey its worth a shot instead of losing everything.
Confirmed: Fix Works for Epic 4G
Yep, I had Handcent Default Application enabled...clearing this resulted in Visual Voicemail back to normal.
I am tearing my hair out.
Every time I try to install the latest Google Voice (0.4.2.32) on my A70, I get an "application not installed" error. I have tried three different apks from three places. I first tried my own backups from my phone using Titanium and Astro. Then I tried downloads from two different sites. The latest version only requires 1.6 and up, so I don't think it's a version thing.
I have selected install apps from unknown sources, but still no good. I can't find GV in the Market because the market fix doesn't work for me anymore. I've tried it a dozen times.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I use my tablet for everything and GV is a must for me.

Here's a working one. Make sure there are no other copies of GV installed, either to /data or /system. (If Voice is in the Apps list, get rid of it). Then install with this apk.
Yeah, I had already tried that one. It didn't work. Thx anyway
Edit: Spoke too soon. It worked. Thx a million.
don't know why i hadn't thought of this before.
i got the evo3d as my first sprint phone. if i put google voice on it, then i can put gv on my archos and also get my texts right?
only thing would be on my phone i hate gv having the control over them so i still have it go to handcent.
could i have my archos actually notify me of texts?
my cell service sucks at home this would be great

msticninja, could I get you to be a bit more explicit here? I'm going to need to root to do this? I havn't rooted my device and have GV 0.4.2.8 installed now. Uninstall and Settings->Applications give me simply the option to "Uninstall updates" to GV which I think will leave me with an older GV installed, and not the absence of GV that you are saying needs to be done. Thanks.
Mine are dead since the update...
How can I fix them? Maybe using an older apk?
Thanks,

Yes that is how they are set, as they were pre 1.8.2,and they used to work flawlessly. I also tried rebooting, and logging off and back on in both Facebook and Facebook messenger, still nothing
Got the same problem.I stopped getting notifications after the update.Only get them via google mail but super late.Reading the comments on the market it seems that its happening to many people.Guess its a hit and miss thing weather the update works or not.Some people are also uninstalling the update and going back to the previos version untill its fixed.

I went to http://www.apktops.com/ and downloaded v1.8.1, then I placed the apk into my phone via kies air, doesn't really matter in which folder. I went into application management, cleared data and cache (just to be safe), uninstalled facebook. Then I went to the folder where I placed the v1.8.1 apk, clicked on it, and installed it. I haven't received a pm yet, so I can't say yet if it did fix push notifications.
Still not working anymore.... I'm so mad at this....
I went back to 1.7.1...current versions are too buggy.
I tried everything, I
Cleared cache and data for Facebook, Facebook Messenger and Go Facebook Widget
Uninstalled those 3
Reinstalled Facebook only, different versions, v1.8.2, v1.8.1, v1.7.2. Tested with FB only, nothing
Reinstalled the latest Facebook Messenger, still nothing
Reinstalled the latest Go Facebook Widget, still nothing.
I'm out of ideas really...
PS: my mate with GS2 with official XILA2 (android 2.3.6) says that his galaxy's notifications are also dead, but he has them just fine on his Transformer tablet with honeycomb
Facebook app is pretty bad period tbh comparing it to the iphones . Sometimes randomly it would give me nasty wakelocks.

http://www.androidnz.net/2011/11/how-to-enable-push-notifications-in.html
I just uninstalled it all together. will try an older apk.
I must say I got push notifications to work by logging into my facebook on my mums blackberry then logging off. Maybe thats whay I still get the notifications? Wish I could help mate but if you know someone with a blackberry then try the idea posted above
Yes I did that trick with the blackberry emulator like 4 months, ago, and it worked just fine till the last update. I've since tried to revert to an older facebook apk, and redo the blackberry simulator trick, but they still won't get back on
So...refresh interval slould be "never" and notifications "on", ok?
That's my options in facebook aplication. I deleted app data in setting, but still no push working.
If anybody have a solution, please help.
Thank you...
I deleted the stock Text Messaging and using only Handcent. I'm not sure if that did it or my deleting some folders from the SD card did it. I thought all of the ones I removed were from old apps that had since been uninstalled. Maybe not.
Everything is working except the receiving of pictures. I can send them just fine.
This old Milestone is getting long in the tooth so I thought I'd remove some stuff.
Also, it seems my gmail account isn't notifying me either and it is set to auto-sync so perhaps one of the seemingly empty files, now gone, killed that too.
Any ideas of how I can fix both problems?
Thanks

I actually have no idea what that means. Is there any way to fix it with just the Handcent only installed? There isn't very much room once two messaging apps are installed and both running.
The gmail is now working, it seems to have been unhappy syncing and maybe my dogs kept un-checking it, but, it's seems to be working now.

If you are rooted you should re flash the rom that you are using or you could find the mobile messaging apk that you uninstalled and install it again
It's rooted with the stock ROM.
Whatever I cleaned out also included something that broke email sync.
It will not stay turned on, I have to go manually press "sync", which will not stay turned on, and I'm not sure if I need to add another account to remove that one, in order to re-add it to see if that works.
However, when I tried to remove it, I was prompted that to remove that email account, it only has one, I had to return the machine back to stock settings. Blehk!
I wouldn't mind a non-stock rom, especially if it can be done with two left hands and cross-eyed crazy knowing nothing about it.
Do any of the roms, which work well on the Milestone, tether, usb and/or wifi with no other apps required, or are these two problems, that I've created, perhaps easily fixed?
I'll poke about and see if I can find the stock messaging apk. Somehow, I'm not sure I'd know it if I actually found it.
like the title says... every time i freshly install a 4.3 or 4.4 cdma rom itll work fine for a few hours then ill realize that i start getting gmail emails 5-10 minutes later than i should. kind of like they arent pushing through. that goes the same for my hangouts messages. sms messages go through fine tho. i literally have to go into account and hit sync now every 5 minutes to make sure my messages are coming through. idk what the problem is. all my installs complete successfully. The only roms that seem to not give me trouble are 4.2 roms and im definitely ready to upgrade and stay upgraded.... any help or info on this

I'm currently on 4.4 CM11 12-29 Nightly, running PA GApps for 4.4 roms. The issue your experiencing sounds like either a network issue or software issue with the roms your using. Be sure your using Safe Strap 3.65 with any 4.4 roms, apparently people were having issues with BMM and 4.4. The CM11 Rom is very solid at this point, only issue i'm aware of is the WiFi Hot spot doesn't work, although there is a patch out there that I use which fixes it. Maybe give CM11 a shot? This is the first I've heard of a google account sync issue.
Hangouts does have issues though. When communicating with other gchat accounts, not sms, it can take a bit to update. This issue happens on my stock Nexus 10 as well. Seems to be a problem with the Hangout App itself. Never had issues with gmail or anything else though.

well i re-downloaded the 12-29 officiall nightly build and installed dhacker gapps before i realized you responeded and everything was running well for a few hours then i realized i wasnt getting gmail email nor the google hangouts im's. here are screenshots of the sync screen before and after i manually sync'd my gmail to get my msgs.
hmm, that's odd. You're not using Titanium Backup or anything when you switch between roms are you? How much internal memory do you have left on your device? Try going to setting's, apps, go to gmail, and clear data. Also go into the gmail app, settings, label settings and set to notify every message. Also go to normal settings in gmail, click your username, and make sure sync gmail is checked. When i just checked my gmail sync it said the last time it synced was over an hour ago. Also sent a test email to myself to see if my phone would notify me. It didn't until i opened gmail and slid down to refresh. The next test email i sent notified me once i turned the screen on. Seems it's not going to sync all the time but periodically in order to save battery. I'm hoping you figure this thing out; I feel invested in it haha
