Lollipop + SMS

[rodkort]

I've just upgraded to Lollipop, now I can't read my SMS messages. They appear in the list, but when I select a message it's just a blank screen.

Anyone else had this?

And yes I can send and receive them, I just can't read them!!!!

I've got the same problem. According to Samsung Support, there is a bug and a Patch will be released soon (apparently)

I've installed Google Message for now, can read all my texts now :smileyvery-happy:

I have the same problem on a Galaxy S4 - how soon can we expect a fix from Samsung?  It's really annoying. Are ther other bugs in Lollipop that we need to be aware of ?

Got hancent to work, thanks. Would prefer something more adaptable though.

Hi Vodafone,

I don't use any other apps for SMS except Messages from Lollipop. I also upgraded and I can't read my text messages.

Is this a Vodafone issue or upgrade issue? When will this be fixed?

Thanks

It's a Samsung issue which they are looking into. In the meantime you good download google messenger from google play and use that. Looks the same as the stock SMS app but actually works!

Google Messenger doesn't work for me. Unles I'm not using it right. I downloaded it and made it my default. Nothing changed. Went back into settings and it had defaulted back to Messages.
