noticing that sometimes I don't get notifications for sms or mms. Any one else having this issue on KitKat? Have any fix?
I've tried just about everything like switching hangouts to the stock android sms app, freezing circles (since its tied in with sms in a notification sense), turning off and on all notification toggles, a factory reset and also tried reflashing the fxz file with RSDlite.
I'm totally stumped.

i dont really have a fix, but i use some reminder apps.
maybe that will get you around this issue until a fix is found.
here are the 2 i use,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.missed.activity
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hermes.enotifylite
I have the same problem. Its really frustrating because I have to constantly check to see if I have new messages. And the reminder apps didn't work for me. Because the notification doesn't ever actually exist at all, I'm assuming that's why. They work when I go into hangouts and the new message shows up, however.

I'm not sure where else to post this and I'm having trouble finding anyone with similar issues over search! So I don't know if it's a Preview 3 bug or if I'm going crazy.
Straight to it - my text messages are disappearing randomly. I had an entire text conversation last night using Hangouts and today those messages are all gone. I had a new text this morning that I could see when first opening Hangouts in the preview spot, but clicking on the conversation shows my last sent message from yesterday at 4pm. Nothing after that. Messenger app shows nothing past that either.
Initially I had dirty flashed Preview 3 over Preview 2 and had this exact same issue right away, but I wiped and clean installed Preview 3 the same day and haven't had a problem until today. I also noticed if I switch my default app to Messenger, I can't send any messages. It just immediately tells me 'touch to resend' and it doesn't even try to send. Hangouts messages go through just fine but they are still disappearing right after I send one, even.
Pushbullet was doing the exact same thing with disappearing texts previously but they were all still there on the phone so I thought maybe that was messing with me, but I have since uninstalled it and the issue is persisting. Rebooting my phone makes no change.
I'm having the same issue on my Nexus 6. Only on Android M DP3, too. Also, I can't send SMS messages either. I hope there's an easy temporary fix until Google fixes it.

I have the exact same issue... I tried clearing hangouts and messenger cache and data, still not working... I'm not sure if a factory reset would do it.. has anyone tried that?
I'm having the exact same issues, the only way I have been able to fix it is by using texted sms Google needs to get this sorted asap
I haven't had any issues. Are you flashing zip versions or fastboot img's?

I updated via ota from stock dev preview 2
Strange. I just dirty flashed the img files through fastboot over p2 and have had no issues whatever

I have had the same issues. I can see the text in pre-view, but then it's gone.
Only way for me to get texting working again was to disable both Messenger and Hangouts and loaded another SMS app (textra)
Now my texts are reliable again.
There are reports on the Hangout forums that Google is working on the issue.

I'm having exactly the same issue (with stock Messenger and Hangouts).
Yesterday received some texts which I later noticed weren't in my list of messages. Only noticed the missing texts when a text I was trying to send was repeatedly failing..
I also updated OTA from dev preview 2, Nexus 5.
Will try a third party app temporarily...
I too am having the same problem on Preview 3 on my N5. It seems to happen in both Hangouts and Messenger. Text seem to randomly disappear from the conversations, sometimes entire conversations are deleted.
SMS Fix
Reboot to safe mode and then send yourself an sms. After rebooting to normal sms should work correctly.

That seems to work, even though in safe mode I don't have access to a messaging app (neither Hangouts or Messenger are available), I sent one to myself, and then rebooted, and now Messenger seems to work. Fingers crossed that it keeps working. Thanks!
That link is nor viable. How do I reboot to safe mode?

Thank you google.
Use safe mode to find problem apps
Make sure your device's screen is on, then press & hold the Power button.
In the box that opens, touch & hold Power off.
You'll see a “Reboot to safe mode” box. Touch OK.
Your device will start up in safe mode. Try using your device normally.
Pushbullet might be the issue
Found this issue this morning with my Nexus 5 with Android 6.0 preview 3...
After a quick search, found someone saying that uninstalling Pushbullet and restarting the phone would fix it, and it did for me actually!
If you guys have Pushbullet installed, give it a try. Hopefully Pushbullet will fix it soon!

Awesome, turning off SMS syncing also fixed the issue for me. Wow I really hope pushbullet fixes this before Marshmallow get released.

Did you suddenly receive messages you were missing or did it just allow new messages to be visible again?

It just allowed new messages to be visible, I didn't get back any of the old texts that had been lost.
Good call. Yep looks like Pushbullet was the problem, not hangouts.
Uninstalled and loaded up Mighty Text. Hangouts working fine so far.
I had to deactivate Pushbullet SMS sync and send myself an SMS while in safe mode.
Jeez, I'm wondering how many SMS I didn't receive... that's really bad !
Hey,
I am receiving notifications for text messages, however, the watch will not vibrate along with the notification no matter how I change the settings. The watch vibrates for all other types of notifications. I am using a LG G3 phone and the Gear S3 Classic Bluetooth version. Is anyone else encountering an similar issue?
To troubleshoot I have:
1) Double checked the notification settings in the gear app.
2) Ensured the notification settings are on in the watch
3) Made sure notifications and vibration are on in the phone.
Thanks,

Workaround
To anyone who is experiencing the same problem I found a workaround this afternoon. I switched to Google Hangouts and received notifications with vibrations. Unfortunately, I was not able to reply from the Gear. I then switched to the Google Messenger App, which received notifications with vibrations and I am able to reply from the watch. There must be a compatibility issue between the LG messaging app and the Gear. I will try to update the feed if I notice a fix.

Hello,
I've the same issue as you, with a Gear S3 and a LG V20. All notifications trigger vibration except SMS...
The point is that I don't understand your workaround.

Hey, basically I worked around it by downloading a third party messaging app and making that my primary messaging app on the phone. In my case I like the Google messenger app because I can respond on my watch and the notifications come through with vibration.
Good luck!
Kurt
This same issue plagues the default messaging app on the S7 Edge as well. Ironic seeing as it is the same company making the phone and the watch, both are its flagship products, and the integration with the native Samsung messenger app is supposed to actually provide more functionality. Also, it worked with the Gear S2.
Another Samsung QC fail.
Same issue...
Samsung Gear S3 Frontier watch
Samsung Galaxy S7 phone
Samsung Touchwiz launcher
Samsung Messenger app
No vibration with notifications. Very frustrating and disappointing.
I'm having the same problem with my Pixel 2. Has anyone tried doing a factory reset on their watch?

I have a pixel xl 2 and same issue with Android Messages. The vibration worked fine, then all of a sudden stopped about a week ago. I HAVE done a factory reset, doesn't help. When I did, I uninstalled all the gear apps from my phone, then unpaired the watch, factory reset, installed the apps in order, setup as new. Still not working. I have checked everything. All the gear apps, notification settings on the phone and watch, it just. doesn't. work... This is BS... I'm getting REAL sick of Sammy messing this watch up...
I haven't tried a different messaging app. I definitely prefer AM, soooo, I'm not so sure about installing anything else.

Glad I asked before I blew it up. I'm a fan of Android messages too. And I like the way the Gear S3 update has been as far as the work out modes and layout. But I'm not a fan of how they fix one thing and break two more. I've had this thing for over a year now and although it's been fun, I think I'll be looking elsewhere for a replacement when the time comes.

I've had mine for 7 months. It's been in the shop for repair twice and still having the same issue that I sent it in for. But, they won't replace it because since it was in the shop twice within 30 days, it counts as once... Seriously. So, I have to send it in again first. The weather app is broke, and now messaging doesn't vibrate or popup on my watch like it's set to. Yes, I WILL be looking at other smartwatches once some new ones are released (hoping MWC). The problems between the watch and their BS support just aren't worth it. Not for a $350 watch.
I can confirm that both Verizon messages and signal notifications and vibration work on my watch. I switched back just to see if AM would work after, no dice. So, apparently it's just Android messages and Samsung messenger that do not work (so far)? This really needs to be fixed. I miss my AM widget and app. Signal is cool, but doesn't work with my car. Verizon is not bad either, but it has some caveats as well.
So I have a pixel 2 xl was experiencing the same issue.... Watch all of sudden wouldn't vibrate for text. Factory reset watch numerous times... Still no dice. Figured I would try to uninstall the latest update to Android messages and sure enough that fixed it. So try that and see if it works.

I did try that, didn't work for me. I just got an update for it two days ago too. This problem is almost two weeks old. Thanks though. I AM trying it again just to make sure.
Verizon messages stopped working this evening too... What in the actual eff is going on???
Well, I'll be. I tried uninstalling the latest AM update and now it works again! I bet I uninstalled them updated again right away the first time. That makes 2 Google apps that I can't update until they fix problems... Thanks greenlantern5!
Soooo, there is a new update as of yesterday for Android Messages Has anyone taken it to see if it fixes the vibration problem?
I have the same issue. YAATA text messaging vibrates on the watch, but I can't reply from those notifications. Since everything else alerts properly on the watch, it is probably android messaging. I wonder if we could find an old version and see if functionality is restored. I'll post here if I find something.
Edit : I uninstalled android messenger, downloaded and installed android messenger version 2.7.028 from apkmirror.com and back in business. I have nexus 6P which is 64 bit, so downloaded that version... so if you try to install an older version, make sure it is the right one for your phone. Of course I had to turn automatic updates in Play store too.
I am having the same issue. I have used Verizon messages, Pulse, Android Messages and none of those will alert me on my watch. The messages appear on the watch, but it doesn't notify me. The only one that is working for alerting is Textra. I also have the Ring app installed and it doesn't alert me via vibe or sound, even though I see the alerts on the screen. Other apps work just fine, such as pushover and Google calendar. My phone is a Pixel and running the latest OS update.

Uninstall updates for android messages, then go to apk mirror and install android messages version 2.8.040. That is the latest version that works. (I'm on a pixel 2 xl)
I noticed that the Gear Plugin updated recently and now my notifications are working again, even on Android Messages. Has anyone else seen a recovery?

Hey guys,
I have the chinese B175 rom and I don't get any notificaiton from Gmail, Facebook, Discord etc when the apps are closed. I enabled all the options for notification in the settings but it didn't seem to work either.
So i tried to search on the net and i found 2 ways to resolve it:
- lock the app and never close them
- go on international rom
The first option is battery expensive so no thanks.
As for the second one, i tried to do it but i ended bricking my phone for like 5 hours and it freaked me out so i won't ever do it again lol.
So is there any other way to resolve the problem ?
you gotta play with app permissions and notification settings and keep the app locked and running, i have Chinese version as well and battery last almost 2 days and I can get notifications for whatsapp, gmail, fb, ig and others without any issues
Ok i did what you said and i get notifications now.
I wonder if not receiving notification when the app is closed is a bug or something that Huawei did on purpose on the chinese rom...
Anyway, i hope they fix this in the next update ?
it is a bug, hopefully they will fix it soon
I'm bumping this topic to know if some latest version appeared and if they resolve the issue
Nothing new that I'm aware of. I also lock the apps to get notifications.
Hi all,
Anyone else having/had problems with not getting notifications for certain apps? For instance - Instagram gives no notifications at all and I've turned off all the optimization I can think of and other apps are not having the issues.
I also am having issues where I explicitly turn off certain notifications and they keep turning themselves back on...
Very annoying.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Yes, same problem here, telegram not showing notifications when sent. What a downgrade this OxygenOS 11, had a Oneplus 7 Pro and didn't have any of these problems.
I´ll try flashing another ROM since I tried everything I could with Oxygen 11... Kinda disappointed from this one.

Im having the same issue with Snapchat, and only snapchat. No notifications what so ever.
I tried wiping the data/cache of Instagram and it seems to have worked.
Try on Snapchat and see if that works.
I actually had it happen to Snapchat first but had to factory reset at one point and it worked from then on.
Not sure if other apps are doing it just yet to test whether this is a definite fix.
