check your signal strength make sure its not going in and out
power off your phone and leave it off for about 30 seconds
turn it back on and test sending a sms to yourself with the area code still
if no luck then continue on to
if the app is giving your the force close you could go into the menu/settings/applications/manage applications and find both or all of your downloaded messaging apps and the stock message app and clear data and force stop all of them. Hit the home key after and then try sending to yourself again.
if this does not work then i would suggest you resetting your phone and starting over.... or make sure that no blocking features have been added to your account if you are on one with someone other than just yo.
So I just updated my Atrix 2 to ICS and I cannot do anything regarding text messaging. I have Pansi, Handcent, and the stock app all installed. If I open either handcent or pansi after a few seconds it says the app isn't responding wait or close. If I open the stock app the loading symbol in the top doesn't go away and it doesn't load. If I open up my contacts and try doing it from there I can type out the text but as soon as I press send nothing happens it just freezes.
Also, every time I hang up after a phone call I get the process not responding message and then my phone is completely frozen.
While updating I was stuck on "upgrading media database" for nearly 3 hours and eventually got fed up and took my battery out and removed my SD and SIM cards. When I turned it back on it worked fine. Everything else works as normal.
Suggestions?
Try a factory data reset if nothing works. I think maybe all the databases did not get a chance to upgrade for you. Or if that still doesn't work, use the procedure to re-ics http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32535217

Yeah the factory reset worked. No problems now. Thanks
So I've been experiencing this randomly but now its getting worse. It happens about 2-3 times a day. I'll be texting one person or a few and I'll notice texts come in, I'll open up hangouts, click on the unread thread and when I try to type to reply It either doesn't type or I'll type and hit send and it seems like it sent but I see no feedback on screen, the other person doesn't see anything, etc.
Today I've noticed phone hitting 15-45% during this time. I've tried force stopping hangouts in the past. That hasnt fixed it. Today I force stopped phones and hangout. It stopped the weird CPU usage on phone but still texts weren't receiving or sending.
Of course to fix this I reboot. I rebooted and all my texts from the last few minutes came in. I'm hoping someone has experienced this or has an idea what it could be or what I can do to narrow down the cause
Thanks,
Sikh

Im having TONS of problems all of the sudden with Hangouts and MMS messages.
For a few weeks now when i try and send someone a MMS Hangouts keeps FCing then i reload the app and it FCs over and over and over again. And every time it FCs the other person gets the picture so i end up sending it over and over and over again. It keeps doing this till i can get into the thread delete the message and then go and clear the data from the App.
Then starting today i cant receive MMS anymore. I just get a "Image Downloading tap to retry" message. I tap it and it just sits there with the dancing dots. And now when i go back farther into threads where i had already received pictures. They are just big empty squares with dancing dots.
Anyone else having this issue? And is there a fix?

Admittedly I don't use Hangouts, but I do use 8sms which is essentially the old messaging app, from 4.3 iirc, rebuilt from source. I have been using it on multiple devices running KitKat with no issues.
If you would like to continue using Hangouts, I will do some tests and attempt to recreate the issue on my devices.

Try going to Settings>Manage Apps and clear data from Hangouts, and even possibly uninstall the updates, then reinstall and see if that works

I did all of that it didnt help.
MMS suddenly started working about 90% a few hours later for receiving.
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.
Same

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 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!

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 !
