New BlackBerry Hub+Services update removes SMS notifications from Hub!
- I've disabled permissions and enabled them again and I am getting zero activities in the HUB for Yaata or Android Messages on my Oneplus 3T. I am a paying customer also so not sure what to do other than uninstall and reinstall.
Update finally got it working after several attempts and reboots.

- Never mind what I was trying to say lol. I was mistaken. Either way this is a nice notification history that you can customize by filtering events or notifications.03-14-19 12:00 PMLike 0

- Don't see "Apps & Notifications\special access\notification access" on Verizon BBKeyOne
Someone help a brother out please. I successfully got the new phone events displayed in the Hub but for the life of me I can't find how to get my new text messages displayed. I've been through the Apps icon, the notifications icon, the Hub + Services Icon. Any suggestions?
TY03-18-19 12:46 PMLike 0 - So now after the latest update SMS are marked read when they are not. Okay, but...
After yesterday's BBM update sent don't show and messages aren't shown as read. This thing needs some serious help! If it's going to be useful for nothing but email, there are better choices03-21-19 09:56 AMLike 0 -
I take that back. It doesn't show new incoming BBM messages either.
My apologies. I had already done 2 hard reboots. A 3rd with cache clearing of hub+, hub and BBM prior seems to have done the trick. Now, about those SMS becoming read on their own...03-21-19 01:31 PMLike 0 - @LiamQ @max-bb
While I had hoped I solved the problem, the resolution was short lived. I sent a report to Emtek, who of course only directed me to BlackBerry. The irony that my biggest issue with the latest iteration of "Inbox" is an app with BlackBerry in it's name is not lost on me. Sometimes Inbox doesn't list BBM as an account. Most of the time it shows old messages some displaying my last message, some other's messages, while each chat has newer messages from both. Are y'all aware there's a problem?03-26-19 08:24 AMLike 0 - @LiamQ @max-bb

Obviously, the Hub should work with it properly, but I don't see BBM consumer as a relevant or valuable service any longer.

I'm a pretty big fan of signal or Proton Mail for encrypted communications. I still use BBM on BB10, but have never bothered to configure it in my KEYone.

So, we have "the most secure Android smartphones" with the least secure messaging app pre-installed by default, bearing the BlackBerry brand.... hmmmmm.....03-26-19 11:15 AMLike 3 - For me, the inclusion of BBM into BlackBerry devices is a bit of a "paradox". As far as I know, it's the only messaging app that is NOT end-to-end encrypted, and does not publish its security credentials. When I asked EMTEK about it, they gave me the runaround and didn't give me an answer.

The alternative was dumping consumer BBM entirely, and sticking solely with the Enterprise client.03-26-19 02:23 PMLike 0 -
The better play would have been to make it a professional, x-platform, private and secure professional chat application years earlier, and at a substantially lower cost than BB10 hardware. BlackBerry never saw BBM as a strategic asset, so they licensed it for a few bucks to a company who have maintained it at a barely usable level.

They basically handed it over to that specific market - having lost the rest of the world already.BigBadWulf likes this.03-26-19 02:40 PMLike 1 -

- I'm quite disappointed in BBM also, but this isn't the thread for that discussion. The issue is Hub+ services, and their value is diminishing. I feel for our 2 BlackBerry amigos here on CrackBerry. I get the feeling there's little else to the team, and even less support from the mothership.
With every step forward the hub, errrrrr "Inbox" makes, it takes a few steps back. The productivity tab and DTEK are focuses, because they are unique to BlackBerry branded phones. I doubt you'd find 1% of KEYˣ buyers point to them as the reason. Inbox is the principle piece of the pie that sells on Play Store, and I'm starting to feel like I did the last couple years on BB10. Dedicated more to brand than self. Text I can trust after tweaking to keep me notified through Inbox. I need that same confidence with every connected app, or I can just use native notification, and a more comprehensive email app where things like conversation view works for every account.03-26-19 10:07 PMLike 3 -
I think there is actually not much reason to staying with BlackBerry. Hub was the number one app and they just ruined it. I do not care what Google tells you. Caring about our privacy? Google?? Really??? Why we cannot have a full hub and we can give permission for either calls, sms, email to appear. What is the point of having hub? I have unfortunately found out I cannot rely on it anymore. I am dealing with many customers every day using sms, emails and calls and it is easy to overlook a message then you cannot see if you already reply to an sms. It is sad to see how hubs features are taken away but more I am really angry!!!VictorRight likes this.03-27-19 04:22 AMLike 1 -

SMS is my preferred messaging protocol (FB et al have enough of my data already), and I expect MORE functionality with the Hub+ service updates not LESS. (If I wanted fewer features with each new version I'd be on Apple).
I agree with other posters that BB should create their own SMS client, or build one into the Hub as they have done for email. Hopefully this is already on their radar.03-28-19 08:42 AMLike 0 -
