Wondering if anyone can reproduce this to confirm it is a global bug and not something odd with my install. I haven't been able to find any other related reports yet, but Google doesn't even have a dedicated product support forum created for Messenger yet, so who knows.
If I disable notifications for a particular contact and I am in the main Messenger window, or not in the app at all, it works as designed and there is no notification. However, if I have the chat thread for the silenced contact open on my screen and receive a new message from that contact, it plays the default notification sound. Through the phone speaker no less, even if I have headphones plugged in.
This still occurs even with Priority Interruptions enabled, and set to calls only. Additionally, Messenger is not set as a Priority app.
If I disable notifications for Messenger globally via the app Settings, it is finally silent.
Stock OTA Lollipop
Google Messenger installed from the Play store.
*Light Flow Free (not enabled for SMS or the test contact, so shouldn't factor in)
You can test this by SMSing yourself.

The calendar app is syncing just fine, but I'm not receiving any notices of upcoming events. In the settings - alerts and notifications are set to alert and a ringtone selected. Default reminder time 1hr.
The sync is on, but one thing I noticed is that when I do a manual sync, the sync icon just stays there. Unlike gmail, contacts.. those are a mere flash to sync.
Lastly, via the direct settings on google, I see an area for mobile setup but that just sends sms notices. I'd like it to notify me from the sync/settings on the app.. but this is an easy work around if necessary.
Any suggestions? (Edited: It seems that via google calendar directly, I have notifications setup via 'email'. To fix, they had to be changed to pop-up or be set directly in the app.)
Hi Everyone,
I hope someone could point me in the right direction or has experienced this and solved it. I did a search but couldn't find a similar issue.
First, I've experienced this issue on DroidKang, one other ROM which I'm forgetting at the moment, and now SOKP. The Google Voice app is configured to receive messages via the messaging app (Hangouts) and Voice+ is activated (it routes all outgoing SMS/MMS messages using your Google Voice number no matter the messaging app).
- Like the title of the thread, when I switch between WiFi and Data connections, a whole stream of Hangouts SMS messages comes in that I had already received before switching over.
- If I continue that Hangouts SMS conversation for a bit and then switch back, all of those messages from the continued Hangouts SMS conversation will again stream back in.
- I end up having two entries in the Hangouts conversations list, one from the correctly named person, the other from a random number but the SMS text is prefaced by their actual name.
I really like the ability to use Hangouts for SMS but require to use my Google Voice number in order to do so.
I'm not being too hopeful but maybe someone else has experienced this?
There are a lot of reports of missing voicemail notifications on Nexus 5. I think I've read them all on this forum & some others including CyanogenMod threads about the Nexus 5. My specific problem:
On my Nexus 5, Voicemail SMS messages are being received from my carrier (O2 Ireland), appearing properly as unread SMS in my default messaging application (Handcent).
Every time they do, there is no notification icon in the drawer and no notification tone.
In my attempts to fix the problem:
I had this problem on stock KitKat when the phone was new with the 4.4.2 release, up through the 4.4.4 OTA upgrade, and continued to have the problem after installing CyanogenMod 11 with both the M10 and M11 releases.
I have disabled notifications in both Google Hangouts and the default SMS app ("Messaging").
Switching between Handcent and Messaging as my SMS app has no effect on the problem.
Using Google Hangouts as my SMS app is not an option for me, and Google Voice won't work with my phone number which is outside North America.
I have tried setting "Reminders" for unread SMS in Handcent, but it does not send reminders for notifications that never happen in the first place.
My current workaround, which is a poor one especially because it relies on keeping the phone display active all the time, is to use the Handcent Widget on my home screen which always displays the number of unread messages. At least this way I can see when the Voicemail text arrives, with an unread message count on the Handcent icon.
I am hoping to find any of the following:
Why the phone software (Android and/or its applications) gets the voicemail SMS but suppresses the notification
An APK or Market application that I can use to work around the problem
A software patch for this problem, or even a different ROM that has the problem fixed
One thing I have not tried is eradicating Hangouts from the phone. I wanted to start this thread first to see if there's a better way. If there's no suggested alternative, I'll try this and then post the result.
removed Google Hangouts, still nothing
More information: I have removed all the updates relating to Google Hangouts, rolled it back to the factory version, and removed the APK. Testing it at every step showed no change to the voice mail problem. So Google Hangouts may not be "stealing" the notifications but it doesn't mean the phone isn't hard-wired to deliver them to Hangouts or Google Voice.
I am following up with my carrier on this thread to see if there is a way of fixing this problem at the service level; it can be found by searching the O2 Ireland Community Forums for Nexus 5: no voicemail SMS notification (I can't post the link here).
Also, I am surprised not to have had a response at all from the community here. I have always believed xda-developers was a resource for developers at any level, even those like me who are at the first stage of trying to learn how the phone works. Even a tip about how phone notifications are delivered, and what might be getting in the way of them here, would be a help.
Handcent no voicemail notifications on Nexus 5
Problem was eventually solved by installing Chomp SMS. After seeing the same problem on both Handcent and the stock messaging app I had decided it wasn't likely to be an application problem: in hindsight, that was wrong. Nexus 5 appears different than other phones in that each incoming SMS from the Voicemail number replaces the last one. That tends to make the messaging app not issue a notification... but Chomp SMS must work differently since it isn't subject to that problem.
While still on Handcent I found the workaround of deleting the Voicemail message thread or last & only Voicemail SMS after every Voicemail notification. That forced the next one to be treated as "new" and triggered a notification every time. Today I wouldn't wish that workaround on anyone but the Handcent developers.
BTW in last few months of experimentation SlimKat has turned out to be a better choice for the Nexus 5 than CyanogenMod.
Hello!
I have installed Wear Messenger for my Smartwatch 3. If I'm out of range and the Bluetooth connection is broken and I get an SMS in the meantime, and then come back and the connection is automatically rebuilt, then the SMS is not displayed on my watch. With the default application that works without problems. Is this a bug or do I need to adjust something?
So I am what I would call a Tasker Beginner/Intermediate user. I have recently created a profile that triggers on the geofence of my local grocery store. The task waits 5 min, checks if the profile is still active and sends my wife a SMS asking if she would like me to pick something up.
I know she receives the SMS but it doesn't show up in either the stock messaging app or google messages app on my end. I have Messages set as default and thought that it may be playing up, so I made the built in Messaging (stock) app default and still nothing shows up in the conversation. I have also set up just a SMS task and manually fired it, SMS is received, just doesn't show on my end.
I have "Store in Messaging App" tickbox selected.
Has anyone else had issues with seeing the SMS that Tasker sends?
Matt.

Same issue here. I never noticed it because I dont have that option set but I just tried it and can verify the same result. I have posted a question on the Tasker group. Hopefully the developer can address the problem.
Thanks tboooe,
Good to know I'm not the only one. I'll find your post and sub to it.
I've had this issue before too. Also with using Join to SMS from my PC. I was told that it isn't an issue the developer can fix as it's really just something some phones and some messaging apps.
