Google Pixel...when phone is restarted or powered off after manually closing the Message+ app ...upon power up....when opening message+...a small window opens about MDN has Changed...resetting app.(it is hard to get verbatim as the message goes away quickly)..then proceeds to walk thru the first time app startup screens...any idea how to fix this?
I must apologize, after repeated tests my earlier statement
that “after the 6.5.1 update it seemed to be working if you wait for 10 minutes” is not correct.
The problem still persists even after waiting for 20 minutes. I would like to go back to 6.5.0 to do some additional testing.
Thasian483,
We always want to make sure that you have no issues with your texting. Have you attempted to force stop the app?http://vz.to/2lxfeND. Are there any issues if you use the stock messenger?

so any other app seems to work. The reason I would like the Message+ app to work, I use the ability to share with my tablet. When it works the app is great. And again, the only issue I have when I restart my Oreo device, Message + must be restarted as if it has never been started, so I get the "start messaging" and do you want a public profile prompts. So for now I am using another app.
I went to another app for the same reason. After talking to the fifth tech support who finally told me that they know this is a bigger problem then they are willing to admitt, and as of yet they can't find an answer.
Thanks so much for your posts. This has been going on for quite some time. We have information that will help everyone listed in this thread.
Please go to Settings > Apps > Message+ > Permissions and toggle storage off and then back on. Then power cycle the device. If the behavior still persists, uninstall the application and then reinstall the application again Uninstall Apps - Pixel / Pixel XL, Phone by Google | Verizon Wireless After the install, power cycle the Pixel. Once the device powers back on, set up Messages+ again and retest. If this does not resolve this behavior, reply with an update.

Well here we are another week and still not fixed, al in all it's going on three plus months. What's up Verizon?
I have had this problem since Sept or earlier on my HTC One M8 so it has nothing to do with Pixel only phones. I do not have this problem on my Nexus 7 tablet or on my Win 7 PC. I had this problem with the stock Verizon Android release and in November I change the OS on my phone to Lineage OS and the problem with the Messaging Plus app is the same before and after OS change. I tried doing several of the cache clear, reinstall etc. attempts but nothing seems to stop the thing from going to the welcome screen all the time. It is even worse now in that it hangs in the 'starting messaging' part of the process sometimes and I have to kill the app and open it again to get to the 'no I do not want a public profile' page. My phone is unlocked and rooted so if someone at Verizon wants to try and debug it using a rooted phone I can try some things that you may not have tried. Seems to me this should not be hard to fix. Go back to June 2017 or something like that before it was updated and look at your version control system to see what changes were made. Clearly something change made in the release from around that time is causing the problem. I did not see this problem for 2 years before then.
VzW - can someone post here when you believe you have this fixed so those of us who would like to use the app can come back, after it is fixed?
Thank you,
Not sure about anyone else, but, after testing with 6.5.2 installed, it appears I can reboot, restart, power off and back on without the need to restart VzMessage+. Message+ works correctly again.
Thank you
may have spoke a bit early. Found if I have Message+ running in the background, it will "sync - Temp background process" at a restart and I can open it without "Start Messaging", however, if it is not running in the background, there is a chance it may need to be restarted after the device full boots. So it is getting there.
Well, thought I would give Message+ another shot, installed version 6.6.3 of the app. It is acting a bit different, after installation and setup, tried a couple of reboots, now I get a Message syncing indication, but when I open the app, it needs to be restarted. So seems like the original problem, EXCEPT, now a new issue with 6.6.3. I have an LG Urbane 2 watch, so it uses Message+ as part of the ability to make/receive calls. If I go through the complete Call Setup on the watch, Message+ no longer sends messages to the watch, however, if I do NOT complete the Calling Setup on my watch, Message+ seems to work fine (on my watch) at least in my first round of testing.
Watch is also running Message+ 6.6.3
Android Wear (now Wear OS) 2.9.0.185 (both devices)
So, kinda looks like 2 steps forward, and 3 giant steps back.
Thasian483,
We appreciate you attempting to use the message application one more time. We will pass this information along to our developer. Do you have you watched connected to our Numbershare services? Can you use the watch standalone?
