Anyone Having Trouble Using Textra on Their New Phone? - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Nothing happens when I tap the send button. Anyone else having similar issues?

Yes, I am experiencing the same issue. A temporary workaround until a fix is produced is to enable "Send using Enter" in the settings.

Same here. I thought it was only me

Me too, I am back on the stock client for now. From what I can tell Textra needs to adjust touch placement for the notification bar. I was going to send them an email since they have been super responsive in the past... then I thought they probably hate me right now. lol
I noticed that you basically have to tap a CM(1/4") or two under what you actually want to touch. I'm sure they'll get it fixed soon once the device is in more users hands.

Ditto...also can't swipe to delete unless I increase the font size to 150% (Settings - Customize Look)

Experiencing this as well!

I emailed Textra support this evening. They got back to me and said they're aware of the issue and a fix should be live soon.

Thanks for the information!
of course it does... lol I guess I'm going to wait for the dev to fix it, my luck with ADB is bad luck or none at all...

Understood, adb hasn't always been my friend either and definitely had some trouble with getting this one connected as well. Hopefully Textra will come out with an official update shortly. They are usually pretty good in that regard.

I couldn't stand using the Google messenger app anymore... so I spent a lot longer than I should have doing the ADB commands... I had to use an older version of the Android SDK install I had on one of my computers...lol
It works and yeay... still sad I had to do it. lol

Still can't get the app to work. Super frustrating.

Textra is working fine for me after the new update that essential released.

Ok thanks. I'll have to look out for that update... I'm on vzn and haven't gotten that yet

You really don't have to mess with SDK installs and all that. Just download load minimal ADB and fastboot. It's super nice for stuff like this.

System Update Available

Has anyone else been asked about installing a new system update? I'm getting prompted that the new version is 21.21.15.en.US
I'm weary, maybe there was a root exploit that they are trying to patch? No change log showed up on the phone.

Dude, the phone's been on sale for 4.5 hours. Most people are still at work. Relax.
I'm running 21.21.12 and haven't been prompted for an update.
i can almost bet that is for the VoLTE update.
Edit:
or the battery duration issues.
Glad someone got this thread going, was about to do it myself, I know we all have similar questions about it. I haven't been prompted but didn't manually check as I was going through settings, was surprised to see one waiting.

Why are you providing such limited information?
Did you hear about this from other news sites or forums? I too, have seen other people comment on blogs saying it's not the VoLTE update, but they didn't state how they knew that either. Or are you in a VoLTE market and have personally tested it?
I was having IMS issues and this update fixed it. IMS wasn't registering and texts would take around a minute for me to receive.

What's IMS?
IMS allows sms to be sent over LTE. Without IMS your texts go through the legacy network and take significantly longer to send and receive than with IMS.

Gmail app not pushing

Got my new verizon s7 sat. I can't get Gmail to push new emails, it only works if I open the app and manually refresh. I have tried wiping cache and data for the app, ensured that the sync Gmail in settings >accounts is on.... which it seems to get hung up there occasionally, I see the circle but it isn't spinning. I have turned on all the settings in the app too
**edit 4/22/16. It is working now

As far as I have seen, this problem has been around since January sometime. No it has not been fixed though according to this article they know what the issue is. I don't know what they are waiting for to fix this. I have heard Inbox is working better. You can look into that if its urgent enough.

Yeah, I don't know what they are dragging their feet with. According to this google forum I found it is still an on going problem.

One of the suggestions in there is to use CloudMagic. It seems to be helping with instant notifications for those of us that need to have emails notify of us instantly.
Hope this is helpful.

I think it is a Marshmallow bug...
Well it appears to be working again, I cracked my screen already on my phone, so I got a new one through insurance. Fired it up last night and the Gmail app is pushing as normal not sure if it was an update , I had the app set to stop syncing before maybe it worked with the old phone after an update , regardless it is working now

You have be approved to get the update once you register. Don't know how long it takes, a friend from the Uk said it took two days but who knows, there should be a firmware update soon. Hopefully i can get my hands on it.

Good news everyone just received the update notification, its around 1505.20mb
Make sure you keep checking your settings system update !!
Pretty sure it will be a firmware download sometime soon, if I do find one ill be sure to upload it for those who don't want to wait.
A firmware download would be great

Alright I got it to register late last night, this morning I did a manual update (saw it suggested somewhere) and I am not on Nougat, Woot if your registration is complete check for updates manually.
I was able to update guys. FYI, you have to manually update in your phones settings, not through the app.
Installed and booted. First boot was unresponsive, so restarted and everything came up fine. Had a warning about themes being incompatible, but that was it. A couple apps auto updated and we're smooth now. Developer Menu is already enabled. New notification shade is slick, but will take some configuring to make usable. Icons are way too big and notification cards are really large. Will get screenshots once I get into work.

Android Messenges For Web? Have yet to get the update...

Hey all, long time since i've posted.
Wondering if anyone has or has not received the update? Is there a way to force it? I still haven't gotten mine and I really want to start using it.

There is a way to force it if you have root but according to the article your mileage may vary, You can find the instructions for what you need to do here https://www.xda-developers.com/try-android-messges-for-web-now/

Traveling without a computer.
I even removed and then redid the update, nothing! Not a happy camper!
Guys this is a staged rollout even once you have the update until google turns on the feature server side for you you don't get it. So chill and relax it will eventually work.

OxygenOs broke android auto

Since the oxygenos 9.0.10 update android auto won't work as usual.
Waze hangs. Music apps are not reachable.
Homescreen works, google assistant works also.
Updating to 9.0.11 brings no solution.
Anyone else facing the same issues?
Greetings and happy holidays!
Have you tried clearing AA cache? How about uninstalling and reinstalling?

Yes.
There is a thread posted on XDA for same issue.
I got in touch with OnePlus, the asked for logs and I provided.
Looks like they have forgotten about the issue.
Some crazy guy on OP forums suggested me to get in touch with Google for them to fix Android Auto and Waze.
Try posting in OP forum with nasty language. Hopefully someone from customer support will get in touch with you.
My phone is in Service Center for camera stopped working issue, so I can't provide them with any logs again.

Unroot your phone and go back to stock.
No doubt you have installed the wrong update..
i.e. Not compatible for your area.
No one else has this problem so it must be something you've done either not rooted fully/properly or used a VPN to get the update which isn't for your region.

I think, It has nothing to do with Root or using VPN to update.
I have this problem from day 1, 100% stock, not root or whatever. Starting with 9.0.6 and had till 9.0.10 when my camera stopped working. The phone is sitting with OP Service in RMA.

Because you were trying to mislead the other user.
I just corrected you by saying that it has nothing to do with root or using VPN.
You know that the OTA is same across the globe unless you have T-Mobile version or maybe McLaren version.
Things have to be corrected. Especially on OnePlus device threads.

It's a bad root
"it's a bad root" ..... Really.. make sure that apps are not be optimized(battery) I ran into issues with my VPN (openvpn) because it was being optimized. Seems like op is being very aggressive with battery optimizing (explains great battery life).
My phone is rooted and has been on multiple firmwares since launch date. No issue with android auto.
Sent from my OnePlus 6T using Tapatalk
I think a safetynet fail check may be the cause.
Fixed safetynet and now android auto works.
Coincidence? I don't now.
Well have to wait now.
Works fine for me, been using it for years and now with the 6T I was having issues but I remembered I changed my devices dpi, once I changed that AA functions normally as it did with previous devices.
