Receiving text message issue on Samsung Galaxy Note 4
SimplyGorchess

I have been experiencing a text messaging issue with receiving text messages lately that's really weird. I am using the stock messaging app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and the only third party app that I am using in relation to my text messages is Light Flow. Some times when receiving a message, the text message does not show up in my messaging app but I can see the notification in my Light Flow app. I don't receive the message hours or even days later it just never shows up in the app at all. I would never know that some has texted me back at times if I don't see the pink light ( this is the notification color that I set for my text messages through the Light Flow app) blinking on my phone. This has happen a few times with different people and they all have different carriers. I'm always on 4G, and I don't believe it is a network issue. I don't ever experience this issue when receiving MMS messages, just only on SMS messages and it's every now and then. Am I the only one experiencing this issue? Could the light flow app be interfering with my text messages? Could this possible be an issue with my phone or the operating system? I really don't want to stop using light flow and I'm perfectly fine with using the stock messaging app. I would prefer to not use a third party messaging app but I'm not completely oppose to it. Please help. Thanks!

We have had a few issues with the liteflow app and Messaging on a few Samsung devices. Mainly S5 devices. I recommend removing the app. There are 3rd party messaging apps that have this option built in and work very well.

Have you sent a message to the developers of LightFlow to verify their application doesn't have a bug in their application?

I'm having this same issue. I just changed the numbers on both of the phones on my plan, now one cannot send text messages and the other cannot receive text messages. the only difference, I do not use this "Light Flow" app as you have mentioned above. NEED HELP FAST, VERIZON!!!!!!

For your issue, I would suggest calling customer service at 1-800-922-0204 from a landline or another phone and request they reset the texting feature on both lines and then reboot the phones per the Verizon reps instructions.

I have not tried this because I was thinking that it wasn't the light flow app. I think I just may end up uninstalling light flow(which I really hate to due because I've been using it for a few years. Different devices and no issues before now)...and trying another app.
