Blocking SMS - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
My N5 somehow seems to block sms from only one sender. When I need to receive "sms passcode" for my job citrix system.
Any CLUES?????
Im desperate, I receive sms from everyone else.

Which sms app are you using? You did not blacklist them/ block them accidentally did you?

I have the same problem with Handcent SMS (5.8). Handcent is somehow blocking flash messages (Class 0). With Textra or Hangouts there is no problem receiving Citrix Passcode.
Nexus 5 (4.4.4), rooted, stock recovery + Handcent SMS 5.8

Captivate SMS Tones

I have a Capitvate running Stock Gingerbread 2.3.5. I am on a volunteer fire department and to go along with our pagers, we have a thing called "2nd Signal." What it basically does is sends a sms message to your phone when the pager goes off. On my 4s, I could assign a sms tone that is distinct to the 2nd Signal. The issue is that the sms message comes from an email address ([email protected]). The problem on the Captivate, is the programs I have tried only allow a custom sms message tone from a number. Any ideas of a program to use that will allow a custom sms tone from an email address? I have tried Ringo Lite and SMS Popup to no avail.
I love it when I stump people!
I see only one solution - you may install GoSMS Pro. It could hide messages from some contacts to private mailbox, which have separate notification settings.

[BUG?] Not receiving SMS [comes in but disappears]

So this is all I could find regarding an issue a friend of mine is having.
Fully stock Nexus 5 using GOSMS for messaging.
The messages show up in notification, but don't show up inside the SMS threads.
Eventually they appear, but not always.
Also their messages don't auto sort into the order they are received.
Re-installing didn't fix that, installing another sms app didn't sort it either.
Any suggestions short of doing a full wipe ?

How about on the stock messaging app or on Hangouts?

New Google Messenger

Anyone else had issues with MMS on the new Google messenger app? I was able to send but not received. Once I switched to hangouts everything worked fine.
I am on the new lollipop BTW.
You have to set Messenger as your default SMS app.
I was able to send/receive SMS frome Messenger on my N5 with Lollipop.

Lol it was my default messaging app. Also I'm talking about MMS not SMS. SMS did work fine.
MMS is working fine for me. Sending and receiving. I don't know why Hangouts would work and not Messenger.

Verbose providing what you are looking for.
Depends on what you mean by block. If you turn off the default text app, you won't see them. Depending on the default app, you can turn off specific senders but if they are coming in and you don't know beforehand you may not be able to.
I only use Textra and almost never get text messages.
If you are thinking this will protect you from stagefright, it is more embedded than that and all the possible ways it can be used is unknown still.

Outgoing SMS Not Showing In Thread When Sent From MightyText/Pushbullet/MySMS

I just got this phone a few days and ago and it's working great except for one issue. I use apps like MightyText/Pushbullet/MySMS to send texts from my PC. These apps all worked fine on my last phone but not on the Honor 6X. I verified that the messages go out and the other person receives the text I send (and all of the apps say that the message has been sent), but the outgoing message does not show up in the conversation thread in my messages app. I've looked in both the stock app as well as my preferred app (Textra) but they aren't there.
At first I thought it was an issue with MySMS (my primary remote SMS app) but I installed and tried MightyText and Pushbullet as well, and all of them send the message successfully but none have the outgoing SMS show up, so I'm thinking this is an issue with phone. Not sure if it has anything to do with it being a dual Sim.
Does anyone know what's going on?
FWIW, I've kinda solved my own problem. Looks like messages will only show up as sent messages if they are sent through the default SMS application. I set MySMS to be the default SMS app and now outgoing messages are showing up. This isn't ideal because I prefer Textra, but I found an SMS app called Pulse that does the same thing and I like the SMS app more than MySMS. It's cheaper than the other options too. It's not a perfect solution but it will work for now.
Still not sure why this is an issue with the Honor 6X and not my last phone (Moto G4 Plus)
