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.
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/hangouts/GI_GoaFWzRI;context-place=forum/hangouts
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!

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,
K.schoff2010
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?

Can confirm. Awesome
My S7 edge is running android 7.0. The latest release of the facebook app will not *stick* the notification sound I've selected under the app's notification settings. It stays on the sound/ringtone I've selected only until I reboot the device or force stop the app. I've tried clearing the cache and deleting the data - no change. I've also tried reinstalling the app - no change.
Is this a bug? Is anyone else experiencing this behavior on their device?
Thanks
In response to my own post -which often happens here on xda- my issue has been resolved. As it turns out, the latest public release of Facebook (v132.0.0.20.85) is seemingly plagued by a bug that reverts the app's user-selected notification sound. Apparently, however, not many folks are upset about this, since there's virtually nothing posted about it anywhere. It bothers me because I like unique notification sounds for each of my apps. That way I can tell which app has received a new message without looking at my phone's screen - it can be handy.
To resolve the problem, I simply downloaded and installed the beta version of Facebook (v133.0.0.16.83). I then tested it, and voilà ... the notification sticking problem was history. It would've been nice had someone replied in this thread to let me know that their installation of the most recent public Facebook app was afflicted with the same bug. That way I could have deduced how to fix the issue much sooner. But I guess it's a lot of trouble for most folks to simply type, "mine does that, too." Admittedly, it's not a huge issue... but it's certainly an irritant.
Hey there! Is there someone else who has got trouble with the notification service? I've got the Honor 8 FRD-L09, with the latest update.
When I grant access to the notification service for an app it works. But as soon as I reopen this app, it doesn't work anymore. Then, I've to un-enable and re-enable the access in order to get it working again. I've experienced this with AL and Join, which where the only apps I recently gave notification access to...
Any ideas?
Maybe i am facing the same problem with WhatsApp for an week now. For me when I get the first WhatsApp notification it works well. But after replying to the message on WhatsApp or from the notification bar, the second notification or maybe the third repeats the first notification. I don't know why but maybe because i am a beta tester of WhatsApp. All the other apps like Allo and messaging works just fine
Would be interesting what causes these bugs...
For some reason my google feed stops working. I swipe to the left and nothing happens. I have to reboot phone to get it working. Anyone know how to fix this issue?
Same with me. I have reinstalled Nova's google companion and toggled it on and off in Nova's setting but only a reboot will get it back. It does tend to last the whole day though. Nova Launcher is releasing an update soon so hopefully it will address the issue.
Nova Launcher 7 Update is Here and It's Huge
The developers behind Nova Launcher had a last minute surprise up their sleeves just prior to 2020 ending. In a somewhat limited beta release, Nova Launcher 7 is here and it’s a pretty major update. First posted a couple of days ago and updated several times since, Nova Launcher 7 beta has been...

Yeah, it’s broken on my Note too. The companion app has not been updated for a long time too so I am not confident it will get fixed quickly.
I have moved to Lawnchair recently, works really well.

Is this issue /error, on Android 11 or Android 10.?
I am currently still on Android 10 an have Nova Prime
v 6.2.18 installed.
Nova Google Companion is working fine for me ?
No issues so far.
However, about - + 3 weeks ago, i had similar
issue, when by swiping from left, Google Companion would not work./appear.
I eventually uninstalled Nova Google Companion app, downloaded Nova Google Companion , (think it was from Apkmirror site) again and re install.
Working fine since then.
I have experienced this problem also. The way I fix it is to clear app data for the Google app and then restart Nova Launcher. However the issue has come back a few times. I also noticed the search bar is missing in Discover, I emailed Nova support about the problem but was told it was Google's problem ask them to fix it . I've been looking for a replacement for Nova but nothing compares.

Been using Android 11 since the 1st beta, and it worked fine. Last update it stopped working, however :-(
