Google Pixels Devices Aren’t Receiving Messages; Update Available on OnePlus 3 and 3T

The new Android 8.0 Oreo operating system update is causing some Google Pixels users to not receive their text messages. Meanwhile, the new Oreo update is now available for OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T.

Google Pixels users are now complaining about not getting text messages, Android Authority reports. Pixels users have been able to send out texts successfully. However, they no longer receive the replies of the people they previously messaged.

The complaints first came out in the product forums of Google, which 9to5google discovered. Most of the complainants are Verizon users. However, they also shared that neither Verizon Message+ or Google Message has worked in receiving their messages.

Google has yet to create a patch to fix this glitch. However, Google community manager Orrin addressed their Pixels users’ concerns.

“Thanks for all of the reports. The team is aware of this issue and working towards a fix. Some of you have mentioned that rebooting or factory resetting the device resolved the issue. Definitely try to reboot, and if you do factory reset, make sure all of your data/info is backed up,” said Orrin.

When the Android 8.0 Oreo update first came to Google Pixels devices this month, users experienced having problems with their Bluetooth function. Now, those issues are cleared, but Google is left with the problems of Google Pixels users not receiving their text messages.

Meanwhile, the Android 8.0 Oreo update is now available for OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T smartphones, the Economic Times confirmed.

Although the Oreo update was recently made available to these devices through a closed beta program, OnePlus announced that the open beta system will bring other new features to their devices.

“Through the last update, we added various OnePlus 5 features to the OnePlus 3 and 3T and will continue to offer relevant software improvements,” OnePlus said.

The Android 8.0 Oreo update will bring advanced security patches, smart-text selection, system enhancements, and other features to the OnePlus 3 and 3T devices.
