Google Messages battery drain on 10+ - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

Never a problem on my note 9 but now it's insane on the note 10+. I don't really want to change apps because I like it otherwise. See the pic comparing it to the next highest used app. Also, there's no way I had it open and on screen that amount of time. Anyone else experiencing this?

If you did smart switch, try clearing data for messages.

I have. I am waiting for some results to see if clearing data fixes anything.
UPDATE: cleared cache and data but still draining.

I use google messages and i'm not having this problem at all, so I would say it is likely something specific to you. Best advice would be to uninstall, reboot and then reinstall the app

Any of you not getting lock screen notifications with Google Messenger? Samsung messages work fine, buy G messages give nothing but sound when screen is locked.

Google messages works fine for me as well and I used smart switch to transfer all data/apps from my Note9 to my Note10+. I'm also getting notifications on my lock screen.

Contacts force close

Anyone have this issue? My contacts randomly crashes even when I'm on the home screen doing nothing.
Happens to me too. No idea why. Maybe because of some app I've disabled. I don't worry about it.

Try disabling hangouts. That should be the cure. Worked for me.
I also read somewhere Google + can cause contact issues also.
Already disabled. Like I said, I don't sweat the small stuff. ?

Yep, sorry I quoted you. Meant to quote the OP.

I would ignore it but it just happened 5 times playing boom beach lol
Waiting for lollipop to factory reset.
A Gmail update causes this to crash I read. I have lollipop now so it seems to be fixed but if your still having the issue uninstall the update on the Gmail app and see if it goes away
I had this issue also.. Drove me nuts... I cleared cache and data for contacts and contacts storage and that solved it for about 2 weeks... Then it happened once right when I opened the dialer... After that was about another 10 days or so without it.. Now I have Lollipop so hopefully it's still gone/fixed
Mince crashed a while back a few times then stopped. Happens on my wifes S5 as well. She doesn't use Hangouts.
Mine crashes now when I try to use the favorites tab and HD calling is enabled. If I use the contacts tab it works just fine. It only crashes on the contacts that also have HD calling. Anyone else experiencing this on 5.0?
I've had this problem dialing my wife from favorites. Clearing contacts storage data only temporarily resolves issue. No idea how to fix.
I did a factory reset and now the contacts work just fine even with HD calling enabled.

No alert from Gmail when receiving new email

My gf's verizon s8+ does not ping her when she receives a new email in gmail app. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix this problem?
Thanks!

There are a lot of reported issues with this. A lot of reported fixes too. If you search the S8 forums you can find some info. However, I have never been able to get the issue fixed long term. I have been able to get it to work for a while by reinstalling gmail, wiping data, etc, but this gets to be a pain. I am using Aquamail. I tried Bluemail and it was fine, but I like Aqua better. There are probably other good ones. I always get notifications now. Not the best answer, but it works.
Edit - I also tried all of the battery tricks like having a bunch of google apps not optimized and that didn't help.

S20 just wont get home up or chat features.

i have no idea what else i can do. ive searched everywhere but cant find a reason why my s20, completely updated, has no chat features option in the settings and home up just wont show up in goodlock. im on verizon if that matters
Did you use google messages with the chat features enabled on your previous phone? I used to use google messages on my old phone and when i switched to the s20 the stock samsung messages app would not receive texts that were using the rcs features. But when i installed google messages and activated the chat features all the texts that were pending showed up at once. So now im stuck using google messages. Might be the same issue for you?

I havent found a work around yet. Ive tried a bunch of different stuff and no luck. For now im using google messages with chat on to make sure i get all the texts. Ill keep trying different things every few days to see if it ever changes.

So after doing a bunch of different things to fix not getting chat messages what seems to have fixed it was turning off the chat feature on Google messages since that's what i was using cause it worked. Waiting 5 minutes(for it to send the request?) then changing the default messages app to the stock Samsung one. Then changing my sim card to another phone, should say refreshing sim data. Text the people that you had issues with. After like 10 to 15 minutes and verifying that you get the texts, switch back the sim card to your phone and it should now work.
This has worked for me so far all day today. I previously tried resetting phone, deleting contacts, changing sim for a new one and nothing fixed it. Let me know if it works for you.

oh man i guess thats that. im surprised i couldnt find it. thank you.
do you think "home up" not being available on my good lock is because of a similar issue? ive even reset the whole phone to get it to work.

Question Messages Crashes When Sending Pictures

With "Chat Feature" enabled I keep having an issue with sending pictures to other users that use Messages. Everytime I do so it seems to always crash the app and will continuously crash it till the picture finally stops trying to send. Only way I am able to is by switching to SMS/MMS. Anyone know the cause or a fix? I am on VZW.
I have tried clearing cache and restarting device but it still refuses to send via "chat" only SMS/MMS. Any feedback?
Man that's an interesting one. I'm on Verizon with no issue so it's not the network. Maybe turn off chat features, clear data for messages and data for carrier services restart and set up chat features again

It's been going for awhile. Could it be an issue with the beta also? I currently use the beta app that's ongoing updates. Will I lose all my texts if I clear data for the app? And what exactly is carrier services?
I run the beta myself so I doubt it. No you won't lose your messages if you clear data. Carrier services is another app that preloaded that helps your phone use your carrier services. It might not be the urinal, but it doesn't hurt anything to reset it and it's known to cause issues at times
I will give that a try and report back thank you for the info! Gonna try it in a few mins

Question Pixel 6 pro-Google dialer

Good morning. Does anyone have any idea how I can solve the problem I have with the google dialer? When I am called, it takes a long time for the screen to turn on while the sound is ringing and it is generally slow to show who is calling .... I have tried to clear the application cache .... I have checked that irrelevant applications do not have access to the phone application but nothing .... Is there a solution? Thanks
I have the same issue, it actually started with my Pixel 4 XL. Back then I thought maybe it's just getting old. Now I'm having the exact same issue with my P6P. Tried a factory reset thinking it might have been something that migrated with my backup but that did not help.
I'm chiming in only to say I haven't seen this problem, and hope you figure it out. Not rooted? No custom kernel?
Not rooted and no custom kernel, been considering those as a solution
I never tried the google dialer. Didn't trust the phone enough to put a sim in it until I had self-built google-free aosp (now grapheme) installed. I have not experienced this with aosp dialer.

Which update is your phone on? November or December? If November, maybe try manually flashing the December update, potentially removing the "-w " so that it doesn't wipe your phone.

I'm on the December update, but had it even on the November build
When I open the Google dialer and click on the button to pop up the numbers it's very slow to open up

When you factory reset, did you test the Google dialer without restoring any of your old apps or data?
If the January update doesn't fix it for you when it comes out, I'd consider trying that.
Tried before restoring the apps, but I did restore my contacts and SMS. Same result. Could it be something related to my contacts (around 1400 contacts)?

I doubt it, although I "only" have 635 contacts. Right now I'd say everything is suspect, however. You've got to eliminate every possibility.
I might suspect the number/size of SMS before the number of contacts, but it's worth eliminating both at the same time just to see. Or, as I said, wait until the late January update, but if you still have the problem then you'd have to start from scratch yet again to eliminate those possibilities.

Thanks, will give it a shot after the January update drops
My best guess is that this delay happens when you have got paired an android wear with your phone. Just for testing, I paired amazfit gtr 3 pro with my P6P and this delay does not occur.
But at the same time, If you are running aosp rom, this delay doesn't happen with the dialer even with android wear paired. Strange

Interesting thought, I don't have an Android wear watch paired but I have a fitbit Versa. I haven't had this issue since the January update plus a full wipe.
I had a seperate theory which is related to the number of Google accounts I have on my phone (I had 4 before wiping). I'll keep an eye on it and try to unpair the watch if it re-occurs.

Well well well, I acted as per your theory and deleted all my google account except one that is linked to contacts and I am experiencing quite instant call-in and call-out screen and the contacts also show almost instantly.
Its a shame that android is google's own product and these issues (having more than google account) jeopardize the whole experience. I have read a lot of posts on reddit and other forums for the the same issue and all what google guys suggest is factory reset which is not a pleasant way and the problem persists after that.
Maybe I am too quick to give my feedback and this issue resurfaces even with 1 account. Will keep an eye on that and will post my further findings.

I think it's confirmed. I've added two more accounts and the call screen is now back to taking forever to showup when I get a call

Yeah I reconfirm it as well, no delay in call screens if having 1 Gmail account only.
Culprit is Google phone app I guess, may be it goes through all accounts to search n display the contact that cause this delay. I have tried Google phone app on samsung s21 ultra too n there is same delay with having more than 1 accounts while Samsung own dialer app doesn't suffer this issue.
