Google Messenger app deleting SMSs - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.
My Google's Messenger app is showing the new SMS notification but when I click to open it, it shows the SMS thread with the text, but instantly goes back to the thread list showing the last saved SMS ad being from Aug 18.
This has been happening for almost a month now.
Something similar happens when sending texts, I compose the text, press send and get a red status below the text saying it failed and when I go back to the thread list, the last text is again the one from Aug 18.
Hangouts is working fine, but I hate it for SMS.
I've disabled and renabled the Messenger app but it's still happening.
You guys have any clue of what's happening and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Nélson.

Handcent keeps displaying notifications

I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I started using Handcent again today, but every time I look at a text it displays "7 unread messages" in my notification bar when I have 0 unread messages. No matter how many times I clear it, it keeps coming back whenever I open it up. I've tried deleting my texts as well. Any ideas?
Uninstall and reinstall. Had the same problem. Idk if it'll happen again lol but I'm waiting to see if it does.

when u say you deleted your texts.. are u deleting ALL text messages?
If you've blacklisted 9016 (visual voicemail) in Handcent, every now and again it'll still show an unread indicator. In those cases, I just press menu and "Mark all as read" to make it go away.

Go to new sms messages

Sorry if this has been asked, but is there a way that when you open the messages app it goes to the new messages rather than your last screen? It seems silly that the phone knows I have new messages to view, but instead takes me to the last message I was in.
You can try using alternative SMS apps and see if they have a feature like that.
I know GO SMS (and handcent and others) have a notification pop up when someone texts you. Pressing on that pop up would bring you to that particular SMS thread.

[Q] stock messaging app does not show new messages

using the latest stock IMM76D on my nexus s 4g. when I get a new sms text, I get a notification, but when I go to the messaging app the new message is not displayed at the top. I need to press on the person to see the text, and even then the display is not updated in the app showing the last text unless I send an sms. it is very annoying, because if I received more than 1 text it just says (x new messages" and not who they are from, so I basically have to guess who has sent me a text and go through each contact to see if the new message is there. any ideas?

Hangouts SMS Notification not going away

Hey all, when I get an SMS with hangouts and I read it the notification doesnt go away. The only way to remove it is by swiping it away.
This can't be normal. How is everyone else behavior?
Yeah, good question! I'm having to keep swiping also! Plus, I miss the SMS unread count!

Same issue, switched to Handcent but can't use Lightfloe so going back.
I have the same issue. You have to go back into the home screen (list of all the people that you texted) of the hangouts app in order for the notification to get cleared. Really annoying...I installed Textra and am loving it so far.
This needs to have more attention brought to it. How could a messaging app miss such basic functionality that it can't clear its notification when a text is read but not swiped back to the main messages screen? It's really annoying having a persistent notification for a message I've already read.
Suffer the same problem myself.. have to hit the notification and go back into the messages screen to get it to clear..

Viber messages won't always show

hi guys, I have the gear s2 for about a day only so far, and is hoping some of you can help me with the issues I'm experiencing.
1. When I receive a message on Viber, the watch doesn't vibrate (have read through similar threads on this already and have tried factory resetting and uninstalling the gear app on my phone). Watch vibrates fine when I receive messages via the default messaging app. I did add Viber to the notification apps on the gear app.
2. Checking the notification area, it just shows me "NAME has sent you a text message" instead of the actual message itself. At first I thought this is as good as I can get it to work, and that it isn't compatible with Viber to show the actual messages, but last night when I went to sleep, I received 3 Viber messages, and this morning, when I checked the watch, all 3 "actual" messages were displayed on the notification screen. So there must be some ways to make this work? New messages I've received thus far this morning have reverted back to "NAME has sent you a text message" notification. I think it is kind of pointless to have a smartwatch that doesn't vibrate when someone sends you a text via Viber, and when you do check your watch, you only see a notification that someone sent you a text message instead of being able to read the actual message.
3. The watch forces you to use the default messaging app, and won't work properly with Go SMS Pro. I've always used Go SMS Pro, because the default messaging app is very slow on threads with a lot of messages. Any workaround for this?
4. Is it safe to use the dock with my Samsung quick charger adapter or do I have to use its own adapter?
I pair the watch with a Galaxy Note Edge. Thanks!
EDIT: Fixed the Viber issue by enabling "Show Message Preview" on Viber settings within your phone app. The downside is, when enabled, the notifications on your phone when you receive a Viber message will also show the whole actual message.
anyone guys? especially #2? Is there a way to make viber messages show the actual message itself and not just a notification? thanks

After using the watch for another day, I found out that Go SMS Pro works with the watch, and you don't have to use the default Samsung Messaging app.
Also found out that when you receive a Viber message from 1 person, the watch will only notify you that you have received a text message. But if another person sends you a message through Viber as well (without you opening your phone yet), then both "actual" messages will start to show on the watch. Replying will still require your phone, as you can't reply though the watch. Weird that this happens and I hope it can be fixed.
Thanks.
