Receiving SMS issues - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Has anyone had issues with receiving SMS messages? Happens randomly where I won't receive messages from different people etc. I came from a nexus s6 so it isn't the iMessage issue. I've tried searching for reasons or solutions, factory reset the phone, called the carrier to see if settings were wrong. But no one has an answer.
Any help or if anyone experiencing the same thing would be helpful.

I have issues with getting the notifications for text messaging but only for TMobile lines. I still get the message but the phone refuses to light up, make any sound or vibrate when they come in.
Again it's only with T-Mobile numbers, all other texts work like normal

[Q] not receiving some sms on my phone

for the past few weeks i've been having trouble receiving some texts, i dont know what's happening.. I have an app called Mighty Text which allows me to sms from a computer or tablet. When using the app i realize that i get all my texts in the browser but my phone only alerts me about some sms received and neither do they show up the the stock messaging app...:crying::crying:
with this i have come to think that it's not the network causing the problem.. what else could be the problem?.
I'm currently on SlimBean 3.1 and i'm really loving this rom and would prefer not having to change roms...

It's not a ROM problem but a app or carrier problem. Your carrier most likely won't send your texts at 2 different places (unless specifically said). And when the app is on, you probably allow it to have priority over your text, therefor, it receives them instead of your phone.
Some carriers have apps like those on pc which will let you get your texts and such on both pc and your phone but I believe it has to be made by the carrier to allow it.

[AT&T] Moto X Doesn't Receive SMS

I've had my Moto X for a week and love it, for once I don't immediately want to flash Cyanogenmod haha. However, as this week has passed, I've had difficulties receiving text messages. I'll send a text, but not get a reply until I send another text asking if they got mine, at which point I'll get their earlier reply late. At first I thought it was related to Wi-Fi, but even on 4G the issue persists. I use 8sms along with the stock messaging app and haven't done anything with apns outside resetting them (which did nothing) in an attempt to alleviate the issue. Has anyone else had this issue, and more importantly, a solution?
Thanks

SMS Not Receives by Recipient

I'm experiencing a strange problem. I recently upgraded to a note 3 and my wife recently upgraded to an iPhone 5s. Ever since these upgrades my wife has not been receiving my SMS messages. She is able to receive MMS messages from me. Others that have the 5s can receive SMS from me. Had anyone else experienced this?

you didn't de-register from iMessage..you have to do this otherwise it'll keep going to your inactive apple acct..the geniuses over at the genius bar didn't tell you that I suppose
I don't think this is it. I had a Note 2 before upgrading to the Note 3 and I didn't experience this problem with the Note 2. I've been on the phone with AT&T tech support on this issue and they now suspect something is wrong with my wife's iPhone 5S because they can see the message getting sent from my device (Note 3) to her device (iPhone 5S) across their network. Yet it doesn't show on her phone. Actually, just yesterday my wife received all of the SMS messages I've sent to her over the last few days all at once -- something like 24 messages. So far she's been receiving my SMS messages as normal now since they all came in at once yesterday so I don't know what the problem was. Tech support wanted her to do a factory reset on her phone, but she didn't do that because it would erase all her text messages.
UPDATE:
I'm pretty confident I know how to duplicate the problem now. This seems to happen when I turn on SMS support in Google Hangouts. I'm using Hangouts build 2.0.217 and as soon as I enable Settings->SMS->Turn on SMS in Hangouts I experience this problem. I have no idea why it happens and why it happens only for a specific phone number. I've turned off that setting and am back with using the stock messenger now. I hesitate to turn it on again because it usually takes a few days for all the messages I send to get to my wife's phone.

Not receiving SMS

I am not receiving SMS messages at times. A lot of the times when I don't receive SMS is at night for some reason but happens in the afternoon too just not as often. I use to run CM 12.1 I thought that might have been the problem so I flashed 6.0 and the problem persist. I change APN, messaging app, another factory reset, not use WIFI, change sim card, turn off enhanced LTE and still nothing.... anyone know how to fix the problem? Oh yeah, I'm on tmobile network
I have the same issue but I dont think so it is nexus. At least from my point of view. The problem is missing, delayed, broken/mixed messages from iphone users. I contact ot tmobile regarding this issue. They check everything is they couldn't find if there is any issue. I want to tell you that this is a 2nd nexus 6 i have. Problem seems to exist from iphone users. My friend when she text other people some of them aren't receiving some of her messages and she has Iphone 6s plus. She is the only one i have issue to receive messages or messages are delayed and mixed.
I don't seem to have a problem with iPhone users mostly android users especially note 4 users

Can't recieve SMS Text Messages (but can send them)

Hey everyone. I just got my global unlocked Mi Mix (6gb, 256gb), and I can't receive texts. I'm on At&T, and I'm getting 4g VoLTE all the time. I can send texts, and I can make and receive calls, but I'm not getting any texts that are sent to me. I've tried switching to 3g, and I've tried the stock messaging app, Google Messenger, and Textra. Nothing has fixed the problem. I really want to keep this phone, but I have to be able to receive texts.
Anyone have suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I have this same problem. To make matters worse - mine happens intermittently too. For example, sometimes I could be texting someone and receive some of their texts, then suddenly a few texts in I no longer get their responses. Not sure what's going on.
I suspect it has to do with the Contact Manager APK, but not sure how or why.

Are you on ATT? And if this is a software issue, putting on a custom ROM might resolve it. I guess.
I've got texting working now. I did two things and I don't know which is the solution.
First, I put my sim in an ATT phone I had laying around. I sent some texts and took some calls on that phone. Then I put the sim back in my phone while wifi was turned off. I did this whole thing because I saw a thread on an ATT forum regarding the same SMS issue but with a different phone. The ATT moderator suggested doing those steps.
Second, I downloaded Pulse and set it as my default SMS app. So far, texting is now working without any problems.
I cannot receive sms
