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?

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.

I wondered whether anyone else has seen this behaviour in the Stock SMS messaging app.
To set the scene I have a Vodafone Branded Sensation with the latest OTA applied.
When I create large text messages, so over 500 Characters which splits into 4 messages, I try and use a Google contact GROUP as the recipient. When I do this just before I click send I get the dreaded message "mms app has stop responding and needs to be forced closed".
I have no other option than to hit close, this then forces the app down and also doesn't save my mammoth message I just ticked in!!
Anybody else seen this happen, I swear it was working pre the OTA update!!??
EDIT: The same behaviour happens with Handcent SMS, which makes me think something more sinister is going on here!
Stock Nexus 5 on T-Mobile.
Have somehow gotten into a situation where my SMS and MMS messages in Hangouts disappear from view (in Hangouts) if I log out of Google+/Hangouts. Log in - they appear - log out, they disappear.
Have even tried clearing all MMS and SMS, logging out of Google+/Hangouts, and then restoring the SMS/MMS messages. Nothing. No messages seen (in Hangouts). And then I log back in to Google+/Hangouts, and wham! they reappear.
Somehow, Hangouts has decided that all of my MMS/SMS messages belong in my Google+/Hangouts profile, and if I'm not in that profile, I don't need to see my SMS/MMS (in Hangouts).
[Third-party SMS/MMS apps remain OK, however the messages are messed up - wrong order, SMS show with a blank title line, etc]
What is going on, and how can I fix this?
You probably just have to close it and re-open it (if it's still set as the default SMS app), but the bigger question is...
Why do you keep logging out and back in to Google+/Hangouts?

It is kind of a two part app. a standalone sms app and a sms/hangouts app at the same time. When you are logged into hangouts you are smsing in that part of the app. If you sign out you are not longer in the combined app. You are now in the stand alone version. If you don't use hangouts stay signed out. If you do use hangouts stay signed in. It is kind of "it is what it is" thing. It may change later but for now with this first release for integration that is how it acts.

hangouts is designed to stay logged in... but best way to fix it would be get a MSG app and use that for texts and then log in to hangouts when you want to use it.. Or stay logged into hangouts all the time

Would have understood if new messages I sent from Hangouts had ended up in the 'combined' app. But surprised that my old SMS messages from last week, month and year get hijacked into 'combined app' as soon as I activate SMS functionality within Hangouts, and won't show unless I'm logged in.
Is there anyway possible to change the default messaging and email apps to whatever one I want? (Speficially Gmail and Textra)
Gmail works fine (for receiving at least). I turned it off because my watch was vibrating too much. I use Google's messenger just fine too - voice response and all.
Sorry for taking so long to reply, and is there a way to compose new messages from Textra?
I recall being able to send messages through the messages app on the watch.
Just ignore the "please set messages to default app on phone" message that pops up every time you make a new message on the watch.

Oh, but I can't see my participant's messages on the gear (only I see my messages) also, group messages isn't functional.
I would like to know this too. I use Aquamail on my phone for email and Next SMS (Handscent) for messaging. I don't really want to use the default email app or default messaging. Is there not a way to change it?
I am now running CM12.1 on my Photon Q. I successfully installed and provisioned Sprint-VVM-M.apk (version T.7.0.0.16)
When I get a Voicmail, an SMS message shows up in my messaging app from (650)603-0000. Here is an example of one I dialed in from google voice on my laptop:
[email protected] has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. To listen call 650-603-0000 or click http://smsvoice.sprint.com/iv.do?d5ee6b9fbb3

Calling 6506030000 results in a busy signal. Clicking on the link, opens Firefox at the mentioned URL. There is a box with a play icon. When I click it, the page refreshes, but I hear nothing in my phone. There is a SmithMicro Software logo and copyright message at the bottom of the screen.
The message does not show up in the VVM inbox. I found this thread on the Sprint community forums regarding this issue.

... you are using a third party text messaging program which is intercepting the notification to the Voicemail app before it can hide it ...
If you are using a third party text messaging app (GoSMS, ChompSMS, etc), depending on the application many of them will have an option that needs to be adjusted to correct this. If you are using one, let me know and I can see if I can locate that setting for you. Alternatively, if you do search on here or Google, you can likely find someone with the same app and same issue and how they fixed it.

Evidently these messages are supposed to be handed off from the SMS app to the Visual Voicemail app. The original poster was using GoSMS. They could not figure out how to change the settings mentioned above; so, he opted to switch to Google Voice.
I had been using SMS + MMS Messages from SMS & Messages Studios from the play store. I uninstalled it and am now using the default messaging app in CM 12.1.
Does anyone have a clue what settings JPSquared might have been referring to?
Will the default SMS in CM 12.1 let me change that?
If not is anyone using an sms app that successfully hands off messages from 650-603-0000 to the VVM app? Could you tell me the SMS app and version and the VVM app version you are using that work together?
Postscript notes & thoughts:
In the default SMS app, I can set a specific ringtone for the 6506030000 conversation
... but, if I delete the conversation rather than individual notifications in it, it reverts to default for the next message
In my SMS, I also see messages from 9016. These appear to be meant to turn on / off the message waiting indicator. I assume these should also be passed to the VVM app. VVM should set my light to blue if this works, but are no such luck.
When I have a voicemail waiting, I get a message to 9016 with "MWI Notif turnOn" in it. When the voicemail box is empty, I get one to 9016 that says "MWI Notif turnOff".
Any Smart SMS App That Could Change the LED Color?

I could live without the Visual Voicemail app downloading my voicemail at all, if I could find a way to get my messaging app to set my phone's LED to a specific color based on those messages to 9016!
Anyone know of one that can?
Could it be MIUI whatever that is??
possible clue from this thread
saint01 said:
Yes actually I figured it out. The epic, and I'm told sprint, do not support MIUI which was enabled by handcent when I flipped a setting. Unfortunately turning it back off and uninstalling handcent did nothing.
What you have to do is download the sprint voicemail apk and overwrite the existing app. This fixes it.
I must have tried a couple hundred possible solutions with no luck before I finally tried this. Good luck

gosms may work
thread
It turns out GoSMS was the culprit that was breaking my Visual Voicemail and causing me to receive the 9016 voicemail texts.
Apparently if you go into settings for GOSMS>>then Advanced>>the Receive Settings, there is an option for "Disable other Message notification".
With that option checked, it will actually disable all other SMS services and that will mess up the visual voicemail because I guess that receives a form of text message that tells it you have a voicemail and to go and get it.
Once I unchecked this option, and rebooted my phone, I began to get all my missing voicemails. So for anyone else who is having this issue, I hope this clarifies.

The current version of Go SMS Pro that installs is 7.10
The menu has changed (of course, lol)
I do not see ""Disable other Message notification"" under any of the settings menu items...
rebooting erasing vvm data
re-provisioning
no message from 9016! hmm. darn i have to go to work more later!
system permissions?
I have a theory of why this is happening
sms messages are stored in system partition -- need higher privileges to read
vvm gets installed to data partition
Probably Have to Change Phone Company
I could write a program in Python to turn the light on when a text message is received, but C, Java, etc. are out of my league.
To replace voice mail with Google Voice, your carrier must support Conditional Call Forwarding. Red Pocket -- my current carrier does not. Yesterday, I contacted many of the Sprint mvno's listed here before I found one that supports that feature.
I am looking at changing to Pix Mobile, because they do support it. Very frustrating to have to change carriers when there is such a simple work-around to make the Message Waiting Indicator light tell you that you have a voicemail.

Well, nix to Pix, they no longer offer unlimited data on their Sprint Plans.

Anyone got any tips on getting message notifications on the GW4? I am using it with a Pixel 4a5g. I currently have loaded the updated Google messages app on phone and watch. I have enabled notifications everywhere I can find for the app. I can open the watch app and read all my messages, but I can't get any watch notifications. On my GWA2, using Next, I was able to get the notifications and the message would pop up on my watch and let me read it. On the GW4 I have to open the app to read it. I am also open to any other messaging apps that others have found that work.
Update, I did get Next SMS to work, but I wonder if anyone has had any luck with VZW messages or Google messages?
You have to make Google Messages to the default text message app on phone to get notifications from it, and you can only use Google Messages for writing SMS after that.
The first thing I did was make Google Messages the default SMS... as a matter of fact, you can't even bring it up on the phone unless you do that. I know Google is just starting to roll out a new version of messages for using with watches, I don't know how to tell if I have that version or what that version number is, so I guess I will use Next for awhile longer and see.
This feels like a Gear app permissions issue. Check that the gear app on your Phone has permissions to read messages. Also it might be under device admin setting or something like that
I assume you mean the Galaxy Wear app, it does have SMS permissions enabled (actually all permissions enabled).
Note, as I said above, it works like a champ with Next SMS, so I think everything is enabled that needs to be. The difference would have to be with the messaging app itself.
You can also check settings on the watch itself. Settings/Applications/Permissions then scroll to Messages and allow everything one by one.
