I'm a long time #SamsungKnight and never had this problem. For some reason, if I get a text while on a call I do not get the notification sound or vibration. If I'm not on a call and recieve a text I get the notification sound and vibrationjust fine. I'm running stock Android and my phone is completely up-to-date as of this posting. I am using Google Messages as my default SMS app with all permissions granted. On a side note I have the same problem when using Samsung's default messaging app.
SETTINGS ==> APPS ==> MESSAGES ==> NOTIFICATIONS ==> allowed and everything except "Connected to Messages for web" is ticked ON
Model number SM-G965U
Android version 8.0.0
Samsung Experience version
9.0
I would suggest you refrain from making multiple posts on the same subject/question/issue. Many forums actually don't allow this, but it also makes it hard to provide help and for others to find information.
Did you check in the phone app settings for Call Alerts. I attached a few images to help.

Hi
There are some special message types.
Flash SMS
The Messages shows up directly after it was received, no need to open the Message app etc.
Silent Message (Silent SMS, Stealth SMS, Stille SMS or stealthy ping)
No message appears
Is there a way to log these silent sms arriving to my android?
Can we send flash/silent sms with android, any app for that?
Information
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stille_SMS#Spezielle_Nachrichtentypen (GERMAN)
couldn't find it on English wiki some one wanna add it?
Take a look at the 26C3 page there is a interesting talk about SMS «Fuzzing the Phone in your Phone»
Do you found any answer to this question, anywhere else ? I am using HushSMS for windows Molbile and look for the equivalent for Android.
I downloaded Flash SMS from the market and it does not work at all
Stock ROM doesn't provide API required for "special" SMS sending (ability to create whole sms body as byte array)
Yes, you can send this SMS with rooted Android via this app - https://www.silentservices.de/products/android-hushsms/
And yes, you can log incoming Silent SMS with this app https://github.com/CellularPrivacy/Android-IMSI-Catcher-Detector/wiki/Special-SMS
Silent SMS/Ping app for Android (no root)
I've used this app for years and been pretty happy with it so far. It can be used on Android phones and does NOT require phone to be rooted to work and it's free.

Hi,

Regards

Try Tasker
Thanks! . this looks to be something definitely worth exploring.
Try "QSMS To Buddy:FullFeatured" free app from android market
Use "QSMS to buddy" App from android market.
- This app allows you to send sms to missed/rejected calls.
- It also allows you to send a 'default' sms after user specified time period. e.g. you can specify to send a msg after 10 secs
- *** You send sms during "Outgoing" call reject as well
- *** You have ability to messages while sending the reject sms depending on the context. e.g. "I will call back in 10 mins" instead of "I will call back later"
There are other interesting features as well in this app. Watch demo at youtube with key word "QSMS : Quick SMS To Buddy Android App by Onion Systems"

Root Call Blocker also includes a feature similar to what you're looking for
Why would you want to do th at? I just don't get it.
Some countries ban usage of mobile phones while driving, so instead of pissing about with your phone while driving, you can block the call and tell them why without having to touch the phone. Could be used in meetings, school/college too. there are so many uses
Thanks for all the replies. Another classic example is you are in a middle of a meeting/conference and u get an important call (from ur better half ;-) ? ) . You may not be in a position to take the call - easier if u get an option to send predefined sms - when u reject the call - with the flexibility of not having SMS being sent out whenever u reject a call.
Reject++
If you are looking for an app to let you reject incoming calls with predefined or custom SMS and setup a reminder to return a call as well..
so check Reject++
You can:
- Reject a call with SMS, Reminder, Or Both.
- Convenient Slider on top of incoming call screen, slider it up and go with Reject++
- Smart SMS Templates with "Tags"
- Smart Reminders Scheduling Engine.
- Works with mobile screen locked or OFF
- Notifications works no matter if the app is active or not.
Check much more Features & Screenshots for Reject++
I've got a stock Verizon S4, and I'm using the stock Messaging app. Sometimes, I get audible notifications when a new SMS message arrives, but often I don't. I cannot consistently reproduce the problem. I just tried rebooting, and the first message I got after the reboot only vibrated, even though notification volume is set to 7/7.
Gmail and Mail apps seem to behave as expected--audible notification on first new email received, but no audible notifications for subsequent until I check email...then first message received after the check is audible again.
Messaging app will sometimes give an audible alert for every message received, even if there are other unchecked messages already presernt (which is what I want), and sometimes will not alert for any message, whether it's the first unchecked or not.
I do use Llama, but I've confirmed that the "Normal" profile is active, and I've manually checked all the volumes and they're set where they're supposed to be. (All are 5/7 or higher.)
Anyone else have any issues with Messaging notifications?
Whoops...apparently it _is_ Llama. (More specifically, apparently it's the default Samsung messaging app, and how it reacts to the way most automatic sound profile-changing apps (including Llama) handle vibration settings.)
I'd searched for threads on this problem before I posted, but apparently not well enough. Found this one today: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261746&page=2
For Llama users, the dev has figured out why the S4 acts differently, and has a beta version of Llama available to handle it. Check out the June 24, 2013 post on the dev's blog, here: http://kebabapps.blogspot.com/ .
Thanks to user kanahpoo in the referenced thread above for the pointer.
Problem:
Occasional text messages are not "received". Just as a rough number, I'd say over 90% of SMS sent to me, I get. But I have been able to narrow down the problem with the missing ones.
I only noticed the issue because while at home or when I have headphones in, I have tasker set up to announce the name of the sender of a new SMS to me. Once in a while, it would say the name, but I wouldn't get a new text notification sound nor would I get a new message in any messaging app.
Phone info:
Nexus5
Android 4.4.4 rooted
Stock rom, kernel, etc.
Carrier is T-Mobile
Messaging apps used (not at the same time) are Hangouts, Smitten SMS, Google Messenger
Useful information:
1. This is NOT an iMessage issue. Missing messages have come from both android and apple phones. The last time this happened was today from a S5.
2. This is NOT a carrier issue. The message is received by the OS.
3. This is NOT an app issue. The message is not picked up by stock messaging app or any others.
4. This is NOT a formatting/encoding issue. I have people resend the message (copy/paste) and the resend always goes through and is shown in the messaging app.
5. This is NOT a group messaging issue. These are one on one conversations.
6. The missing message does NOT show up in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db.
7. If I set up Tasker to log all incoming SMS, it IS able to log the missing message AS IT IS RECEIVED BY THE OS.
My theory:
Tasker can catch these missing messages, but the mmssms.db won't see them. So that tells me that somewhere between the phone getting the message and the phone logging it to the mmssms.db to be read by messaging apps, there is a failure. I do not know Android well enough to precisely say where this failure is happening. Because Tasker isn't logging them as they hit the DB but prior to that.
If someone more knowledgeable with how the android os handles SMS wants to chime in here, that would be great.
Anyone else experiencing the same? Any additional ideas here?
I am experiencing the same issue and searching to find a solution.
Android 4.4.4
Motorola Moto G
Cricket is my carrier
Did you ever find a solution? Thanks!
A family has asked me to prevent one of their children from sending text messages to certain numbers. (Please don't suggest they simply take away the phone or delete contacts.) I have seen many text message blocking applications, but it seems they can't block outgoing messages. As far as I know, Android is the only operating system that might allow blocking outgoing text messages. I've seen some old threads on XDA that suggest blocking outgoing text messages is impossible, but I doubt this is true today. I can think of two ways to do this:
1. Monitor the default text message application and prevent messages from being sent. This answer on Stack Overflow seems to suggest it's possible, although it seems the phone must be rooted: stackoverflow.com/a/20885911/1325179. (I haven't posted enough on XDA to include a link apparently.)
2. Replace the default text message application with a custom application that utilizes a parental control system. Apparently newer versions of Android allow for other applications to take over the text messaging role, and this new program could prevent messages from being sent to certain numbers.
So does anyone know of a program that already uses #1, #2, or anything else that might block outgoing text messages? I'm hoping a final product exists. Thanks.
