I have posted here but recieved no answer. I figured my question belongs here anyway, so I won't bump the other thread.
I am trying to use Hangouts as my default SMS app (It is also currently the only SMS app installed on my device) because I do like it. However I noticed that sometimes I don't get any notification when I recieve a text message, no vibration, nor sound nor notification in the status bar. As a result, I miss quite a lot of texts. Notice that I do recieve those texts, if I check the app they are there, text bold to indicate they are not yet read. I just don't get the notification. Also, most of the time I do get the notifications without a problem. So to be clear, this is about some SMS's, not about all.
As far as I know this happens when I recieve the message very shortly after I put down my phone (my routine: send text, press 'backbutton' once to get in the hangouts overview, and then I press power to shut of the screen and put the phone down.) If I get a message let's say within half a minute of me turning of the screen I won't have a clue I recieved the message until I go look in hangouts to check. This happens often when someone is quick to respond to my own message, but could maybe be happening with other messages I recieve in that time. I don't think this happens to messages I recieve when the screen has been off for a time, but I can't say that with certainty.
I have a HTC One S currently running CM11, but I had this problem on stock ROM too. However never with the HTC stock messaging app.
I have found similar problems here on the forums, but no satifying answers. I hope someone has a solution?

The IM app seems to be working great. However, is there a way to get an audible signal/tone when I receive a message and the phone has gone to what I guess is standby?
i.e. I'm chatting on AIM. I set the phone down to do something, and come back a few minutes later. I open the phone to find a message stating "A message has been received would you like to open the conversation?" But I never received an audible tone.
Is there a way to make it chime even when the screen is black?
I have developed a strange issue as of late with my text message notifications while my Fuze is in standby. When I have the system/ring volume up, it notifies me just fine, even when in standby, but when I put it to vibrate I get no notification (besides the flashing ring) of a text message or email. This only happens when I am running a rom that is not stock. The problem goes away when I flash back to stock, but re-appears again if I flash to a custom rom, regardless of which chef's rom I use. Any help would be much appreciated, as its killing me to be stuck on this stock rom lol.
this happens to me to , you should try G-profile . look it up on google or search it here .
basically you can make a profile that overrides all other profiles and if the notifacation only works for a period of time you can make enough profiles that it switches before it stops notifing again . :] good luck !
Thanks for the advice, I will give that a try if all else fails. I would really like to figure out the root of this issue, rather than a work-around. I have noticed questions about this issue pop up in other rom threads, but no answers seem to have been posted.
Edit: The phone functionality is unaffected by the change from tone to vibrate, it works as expected when I receive a phone call. The text message and email notifications, however, do not.
I have the same thing on the ROM is my sig.
The only way I found to make it work is that you have to check the Vibrate option in the Sounds & Notifications for the alert you want.
For example...New Test Message...it wouldn't vibrate if that was unchecked, but if I checked it, then it vibrates just fine.
for me i get text notifications but no email notifications :[ . i use the app for the work around because people have actually been mean to me saying that its impossible to not get notifacations :[
I have the same problem. Ive checked vibrate under text and all, yet it does not vibrate and only does the flashing ring. What should i do
So I was able to update my rom to the new 5.11.502.2 rom for the HTC Fuze on At&t. I have been enjoying the update, and it seems like the reception is improved.
But I did run into a problem....iono if someone could verify if this is correct or not. So when ever i send a mass text, i would only get one thread for the message and not for each other person i sent the mass text to. With the original stock rom, whenever you send a mass text, a thread conversation starts for each person you sent the mass text to.
i think everything about the text messages in the update is buggy. when i get a text and then reply but still stay inside the thread, my text message icon in the status bar stays there and then when i get more than one text from the same person and then go back to the message list it says there there is still unread messages even though i already replied to them.
That's been an issue for forever.
Nah, this is different. In the stock ROM, it used to automatically show the message was read, just by opening it. Now I have to scroll up to the message to show I've read it.
Sure, it's not that much of a hassle by itself, but when you text as much as I do, pressing the up botton a few times and then bringing it back down, just so the notifications go away, becomes a daunting task.
It's almost depressing.
Not in this way though... it used to be that I could just open the message, and it would register that it was read. Now, I have to manually scroll up to show I've read it.
It's not a huge problem, unless you text as much as I do. It's a major nuisance. Is there a registry tweak we can change to mark it as read upon opening? NOT having to scroll to the message itself, in the thread?
Hi!
I'm having 2 problems with the mail notifications:
1. Sporadically loosing notifications.
Sometimes, my Email-notification just won't work.
That is, I receive an email but it won't vibrate, notify or play the sound :S
There's like 2-3 seconds before the app updates and there I can see that there is a new email and sometimes when it updates and there is even newer mail, those will be downloaded after update is complete.
2. Sounds and vibrates twice.
When I do get an email notification, the phone alerts and vibrates twice, even though there is only one notification in the statusbar and only 1 email recieved.
This started after I updated to 2.21.401.10
I have re-added the account and turned off notifications in the Gmail-app..
Any ideas?
I'm also having the issue of my One S not playing any notification sound when I receive a mail.
I don't have "refresh on open" set up, so I know it's an older message sitting there in my inbox, but no notification about it. Is it btw. normal that all the mail I receive is already marked as read?
EDIT: Running stock Rom with the 4.0.4 Android OTA Update and using IMAP on Yahoo Mail.
I found something related to issue #2...
When I get an email and doesn't clear it from the notification bar, it chimes every 5 minutes to remind me. Loving it during the night!
Maybe this is the culprit to the whole issue...So how do I get rid of it?

my one s also not playing sounds or vibrating for new emails. even though its all been enabled in settings
Same here: One S playing notification sound twice upon receiving new email. It happens just sometimes, apparently random. Never had this issue until 2.21...
I think that push mail also doesn't always work: a few times it seems to not download email until I wake the phone. Not sure on this though.
Mine doesn't notify me for text messages at time.
Has someone ever solved the problem of the email notification ringing twice?
I have had the M8 since release and I've always had the issue of no new notification, if I receive a text while the screen is on and I'm still in the current conversation. Example: I'll text someone back, put the phone down without turning the screen off but don't check it unless I hear the notification go off. I'll get a new text but I won't receive a notification (vibrate, ringer or LED).
I've tried 8SMS and Hangouts and the issue is still there. I've tried to search for any solutions but nothing has pointed me to a similar thread (could be keywords I'm using). For now, I try to hit the home button when I'm finished sending my text in hopes I would get the notification.
Can somebody point me to a fix or suggest a fix? I'm rooted and s-off'd but running stock ROM.

By any chance. Do you use sms backup and restore? I know that when I use it, that specific app forces me to set the restore app as my default sms app and I don't get any text notifications.

I used it originally to transfer texts over but I use SMS Backup+ daily to auto back to my Gmail account.
I get notifications but if I receive texts after I text someone without hitting the home button, I don't receive a notification.
