Hello,
I have installed several apps on my Huawei Honor 5X phone like Timely and DashClock that are supposed to support daydream mode and I wanted a clock to show up while my phone is charging. However, when I navigate to daydream I find no option to select these apps. All I find is 'Picture Rotation'. Another unrelated problem I have is that several apps when they launch the text messaging app launch 'Hangouts' as my app but then 'Hangouts' closes after giving a message ' In order to send a message via Hangouts select Hangouts as the SMS app'(not exact message but close). I don't want to message via Hangouts. How do I change this? Also how do I make Timely my default clock instead of the stock clock that comes with Android?
Bump....

Hi there, Android newbie here
I just came across this WhatsApp widget for Root which is able to display recent messages. I was wondering how the developers managed to get the data from WhatsApp.
As of now, I can think of three possible ways:
a) The widget refreshes its contents whenever it detects activity on the WhatsApp message database.
b) The widget "hooks" methods that get called in one of WhatsApps activities when new messages arrive and mirrors the messages into its own database.
c) The widget listens for push messages with the WhatsApp signature or listens for traffic between WhatsApp and their servers.
I use the termin "hooking" because of the way iOS tweaks are written, I have no idea if this is possible on Android. Which way is more likely? Any suggestions are appreciated
Let me elaborate on the background of my question: I noticed that WhatsApp groups new messages as a single item in the notification window. I'm thinking about selling my iPhone and getting an Android phone, but I would like to have a preview of all incoming messages like iOS's notification center.
Hmm... anyone? is this the wrong board?
I get a notification that a text has been received on my watch - but neither a swipe up or anything else for that matter allows me to read the content of the messages(s) - Kinda useless. My only options are Block App, discard...I am using an LG G4 with the stock messaging app. I have tried Hangouts but a lot of my contacts use iPhones - So that's not an option - I need something seamless and easy to use.
Ideas? Steps I can follow to set this up correctly?
Try using Hangouts as your default SMS. When you said "but a lot of my contacts use iPhones - So that's not an option" sounds like you didn't enable SMS as default in Hangouts. I don't know why your phone would care that you're texting an iPhone if you're just sending SMS.

But if you don't like hangouts, you can still use the old messenger app: https://support.google.com/hangouts/answer/6013419?hl=en
Thanks...
basically... just use a different Messaging App. I've used a few. I currently use YAATA but Texta and several others have Android Wear support.
I have a Huawei Mate 8 running EMUI 5.0 without root (no root developed yet), which is a Nougat-based skin, but I would guess my question is broadly applicable.
I use Android Auto via my in-dash system (rather than standalone). Android Auto, as many know, locks you out of your phone, presumably for safety reasons. Previously, you could just hit the multitask button on the phone and it would allow you to access your other apps. However, with Nougat, the multitask button is gone. This is a problem for me, since I use Hangouts Dialer, which is unsupported by Android Auto, for my calls.
There is still a way of getting around the lockout--if you swipe down the notifications shade, and somebody texted you on Hangouts, for example, you can open the notification and it takes you to Hangouts. Same with any other notification (e.g. you received an email, you can open the Gmail app, etc..) However, this relies on a notification being there organically.
To get to my question: is there a way to create a persistent notification--e.g. a permanent Hangouts notification that is not related to whether somebody messaged you or a permanent Gmail notification that is not tied to whether somebody emailed you something. I looked online and could not find anything on this. Any ideas?
M6E69X. Today I've gotten numerous notifications to proceed with calling setup. It says to go to settings and install latest system software but when I do so, it says my system is up to date. Is there a way to install or at least stop with the same notifications?
Same Issue
I have the same issue with calling setup even though it is already working and the latest firmware is installed
On your phone's Android Wear app, you can block app notifications from Message+ and/or My Verizon:
On your phone, open Android Wear
Select the Settings "gear"
Select: Block app notifications
Select the + button, then select Message+ and/or My Verizon
For the adventurous, the following post on the reddit zenwatch subreddit has detailed steps for using USB debugging to uninstall the Calling setup and Message+
https://www.reddit.com/r/zenwatch/comments/5sezf9/zenwatch_2_sms_app/ddena40/
Message+
If I am using Message+ on my phone, and block the app on the Zenwatch, will I be able to get messages on the Zenwatch? I have blocked the Verizon apps (all but Message+), and the call setup message continues to show - thus I am assuming it is Message+ causing the notification.
On mine all I had to do was swipe left on the pop up on the watch and hit block app. . Like you can on Any notification on Wear
My wife's s21 recently (one or two months) stopped receiving verification text messages from banks/SS etc. When the target phone number is changed to MY phone the messages come through just fine. We are both on AT&T and have the latest Samsung software (mine is a Note 20). We've made sure that there are no blocked numbers in her contacts.
Is there a SIM based setting that can cause this?
Can the carrier block MMS on her line from commercial sources? She can receive MMS from personal contacts.
We've been through the Samsung/AT&T tech support gauntlet but so far have not found the right person to help.
Try installing The Google - developed Messages app on the problem phone and making it the default SMS client.
What app is this???
Messages by Google - Apps on Google Play
Simple, helpful messaging by Google
play.google.com

Thanks. I thought I she was using the Google Message app, but it was the Samsung Message app. I'll let you know if this works out.

Well I tried the Google Messages App and still had the same difficulty
I've had trouble using Google Message's "Chat features", also known as Rich Communication Services (RCS), when my virtual private network (VPN) is active. If I stop or pause using the VPN then RCS seems to work. But with my VPN active the "Status" under Chat features shows "Connecting...". Given the choice between VPN and RCS, I've decided VPN is more useful. So I turn off "Enable chat features."
Try searching using term "Android" "RCS" and "VPN" and you may hit some useful links to read. If you do not use a VPN then you can probably ignore my entire posting.
I just want to be sure: have you made sure that you have made the Google Messages app the default client?
Go into the App Info for Messages.
And then tap on "Messaging app"
Be sure that you have selected the correct icon. (For some dumb reason there is no text to identify the names or developers of the respective messaging apps.)
(See attached screenshots)

Yes I selected the Messages app as default with the odd icon
