Hey there, I hope you're doing great!
I'm creating this thread because I was wondering if the issue I am about to describe is a known bug or if it only happens with me.
The problem I am experiencing is sporadic, as I cannot determinate a specific cause for it; it sometimes happen right after reboot, and sometimes after long usage, after a call, simple idling, etc.
Of course the issue is that when I receive an SMS message from a contact, I see it pop-up at the top as a notification, but when I want to see it in the threaded conversation, it is simply not there. I can continue texting, and they continue receiving my messages properly, as do I... only by looking at the top status bar though, because other than that, the threaded conversation remains the same during the whole exchange.
My phone is not rooted, it is a brand new LG-P999 from Videotron (They call it the LG Optimus 2X here!) and it runs Froyo 2.2.2!
Thank you very much for your help, and of course, excuse me if this issue has already been looked into! Otherwise, have an awesome day!
Is it possible you are using a third-party text app? I ask because I mainly use Google Voice for my texts, but every now and then someone will text my phone number, which of course means it goes to the phone's message app. As you mentioned, you get the notification and can respond just fine. However, if I don't pay attention, and go to my Voice messages, their messages will not appear, and I have to switch to the built-in message app to see their conversations.

Thanks for your reply, but I am actually using the stock SMS app!
Hmph, started looking into the "Messages" app settings and found something called "Text messages on SIM card" and found all the messages I was "missing".
What causes this?! =O
*EDIT*
I looked on the Internet a bit but found nothing pertaining to the LG-P999/G2X. I, however, found information on the matter saying that this is usually caused by reaching the maximum capacity of SMS messages in your phone. I have about 120 messages all in all, which is certainly a very small number! I also have about 4.50GB of free space on my phone!
Thanks for the help!
This is a known issue from LG... Call the tech support and open a ticket.
Voicemail notif is causing this issue... default storage is change to simcard by the OS...

Thanks a lot, it is definitely a relief to know that this is a known bug. Do you know how we can change the default storage of the voice mail, or I need to root?
Thanks!
I just wanted to add that I successfully found a permanent workaround to this problem by installing GoSMS Pro! No more "disappearing" text messages

recently i purchased a nexus 5 directly from Google, soon afterwards i rooted it, installed the latest version of cyanogenmod 11. shortly after that i had my service, consumer cellular (at&t based) hooked up and now have access to calling and texting. the annoying part is when i send even one text to anybody, i get the error message "hangouts is sending a large number of SMS messages. do you want to allow this app to continue sending messages?" i understand that this is built into the os in order to prevent overuse of texting, however i find it very annoying as it comes up with the message after every text even if i haven't texted in hours, is there any way to change this so this does not happen? it would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Go to settings then go to security and scroll all the way to the bottom. Change the max to 30 or 200, the highest you prefer, and you shouldn't get the notification anymore. I doubt you send 200 msgs in any 30 min period. Haha
I am now running CM12.1 on my Photon Q. I successfully installed and provisioned Sprint-VVM-M.apk (version T.7.0.0.16)
When I get a Voicmail, an SMS message shows up in my messaging app from (650)603-0000. Here is an example of one I dialed in from google voice on my laptop:
[email protected] has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. To listen call 650-603-0000 or click http://smsvoice.sprint.com/iv.do?d5ee6b9fbb3

Calling 6506030000 results in a busy signal. Clicking on the link, opens Firefox at the mentioned URL. There is a box with a play icon. When I click it, the page refreshes, but I hear nothing in my phone. There is a SmithMicro Software logo and copyright message at the bottom of the screen.
The message does not show up in the VVM inbox. I found this thread on the Sprint community forums regarding this issue.

... you are using a third party text messaging program which is intercepting the notification to the Voicemail app before it can hide it ...
If you are using a third party text messaging app (GoSMS, ChompSMS, etc), depending on the application many of them will have an option that needs to be adjusted to correct this. If you are using one, let me know and I can see if I can locate that setting for you. Alternatively, if you do search on here or Google, you can likely find someone with the same app and same issue and how they fixed it.

Evidently these messages are supposed to be handed off from the SMS app to the Visual Voicemail app. The original poster was using GoSMS. They could not figure out how to change the settings mentioned above; so, he opted to switch to Google Voice.
I had been using SMS + MMS Messages from SMS & Messages Studios from the play store. I uninstalled it and am now using the default messaging app in CM 12.1.
Does anyone have a clue what settings JPSquared might have been referring to?
Will the default SMS in CM 12.1 let me change that?
If not is anyone using an sms app that successfully hands off messages from 650-603-0000 to the VVM app? Could you tell me the SMS app and version and the VVM app version you are using that work together?
Postscript notes & thoughts:
In the default SMS app, I can set a specific ringtone for the 6506030000 conversation
... but, if I delete the conversation rather than individual notifications in it, it reverts to default for the next message
In my SMS, I also see messages from 9016. These appear to be meant to turn on / off the message waiting indicator. I assume these should also be passed to the VVM app. VVM should set my light to blue if this works, but are no such luck.
When I have a voicemail waiting, I get a message to 9016 with "MWI Notif turnOn" in it. When the voicemail box is empty, I get one to 9016 that says "MWI Notif turnOff".
Any Smart SMS App That Could Change the LED Color?

I could live without the Visual Voicemail app downloading my voicemail at all, if I could find a way to get my messaging app to set my phone's LED to a specific color based on those messages to 9016!
Anyone know of one that can?
Could it be MIUI whatever that is??
possible clue from this thread
saint01 said:
Yes actually I figured it out. The epic, and I'm told sprint, do not support MIUI which was enabled by handcent when I flipped a setting. Unfortunately turning it back off and uninstalling handcent did nothing.
What you have to do is download the sprint voicemail apk and overwrite the existing app. This fixes it.
I must have tried a couple hundred possible solutions with no luck before I finally tried this. Good luck

gosms may work
thread
It turns out GoSMS was the culprit that was breaking my Visual Voicemail and causing me to receive the 9016 voicemail texts.
Apparently if you go into settings for GOSMS>>then Advanced>>the Receive Settings, there is an option for "Disable other Message notification".
With that option checked, it will actually disable all other SMS services and that will mess up the visual voicemail because I guess that receives a form of text message that tells it you have a voicemail and to go and get it.
Once I unchecked this option, and rebooted my phone, I began to get all my missing voicemails. So for anyone else who is having this issue, I hope this clarifies.

The current version of Go SMS Pro that installs is 7.10
The menu has changed (of course, lol)
I do not see ""Disable other Message notification"" under any of the settings menu items...
rebooting erasing vvm data
re-provisioning
no message from 9016! hmm. darn i have to go to work more later!
system permissions?
I have a theory of why this is happening
sms messages are stored in system partition -- need higher privileges to read
vvm gets installed to data partition
Probably Have to Change Phone Company
I could write a program in Python to turn the light on when a text message is received, but C, Java, etc. are out of my league.
To replace voice mail with Google Voice, your carrier must support Conditional Call Forwarding. Red Pocket -- my current carrier does not. Yesterday, I contacted many of the Sprint mvno's listed here before I found one that supports that feature.
I am looking at changing to Pix Mobile, because they do support it. Very frustrating to have to change carriers when there is such a simple work-around to make the Message Waiting Indicator light tell you that you have a voicemail.

Hi, I am in The Netherlands with a simple (???) Alcatel Pixi 4 5 (5" screen) which is OK, but just recently I have started getting message that the bottom of the screen if I try to make a text or open an incoming text message, it says "Permission denied - you can change this in Apps" I am using a Dut T Mobile prepay sim and it has been checked by both T mobile shops and that is fine (i can make and receive phone calls on the Pixi phone) but I CANNOT FIND ANYTHING relating to this problem, I am at the end of my wits thinking how I can get the SMS working again, the SMS service number is correct for the Tmobile SMS text settings. It is a complete mystery why this banner keeps appearing, I cannot open ANY of the texts I have received. T mobile says the problem lies with the phone and nothing to do with their Sim card. Can anyone help?? as the banner says "can be altered in Apps" but doesnt tell you what app or how to set it to get the SMS messages working again. HELP!! total LAPTOPDUNCE

thanks for that!! NC BUT!!!
Hi NC, thanks for that but where are the "system settings" on this phone, is it the settings on the middle lower button, where "settings " looks like a big cog? because when I go into the Apps from there I get a heading "all apps, and it gives me messaging then when I click on that I get the "permissions" (contacts, phone and SMS) so I click on that and I get "messaging" as the main heading and then in a column, cotnacts, Phone, SMS and storage, I have allowed the permissions on the "contacts, phone and SMS" but leave the storage one not permission granted, NOW!! If I open the three little dots in the topr right hand corner next to App Permissions it brings up all permissions and then I get a long long list of all the difeerent persmission, like "read your contacts" modify your contackts, Ph,> Driectly call phone number, read phone status and identify, SMS (sub heading) receive text messages (SMS)m, Receive Text messages (MMS), Send SMS messages, Read your Text messsages (SMS), Receive text messages (WAP) - when I touch all of these headings a window comes up saying "allows the app to receive and process SMS messages, This means the app could monitor or delete messages sent to your device without showing them to you. - and then OK at the bottom right, so I have just clicked OK on all of these headings, but after all this I am STILL getting the banner coming up with Permissions Denied - you can change them in Settings > apps. So this has become an absolute nightmare!! I just dont know what to do!!

Try settings>apps>(whatever keyboard app you have or are using), check it's permissions.
Go to settings>languages and input, make sure you have the correct keyboard selected and and configured how you want.
Make sure you aren't having an issue with "overlays", you can disable overlays if you need to. I'm not sure how to do that on your device model number/ROM/firmware.

Hi, andoroid keyboard
Hi, I have looked at the keyboard I am using and it is the Ancdroid keyboard, I went into apps and looked at the app permissions, it says Anroid keyboard (AOSP) and the subheadings "contacts" and "storage" were unchecked for permissions so I have enabled them, AGAIN I am still getting the banner permissions denied, this is a real pain, I feel like throwing this phone away! I dont understand what overlays are, the problem wtih these fu77ing things are that they SO DAMNED COMPLICATED you have to be a rocket scientist to understand them!! I HATE THESE things!! the phone part says that is it running firmware 6.0-01005 android and its a model 5010D running android 6 it says its a kernel version 3.18.19+ and is build number 01005, all this is like chinese to me!!
I do have another of these pixi phones in the UK, if I switch the sim card to that one do you think it will work? I have the Alcatatel U5 for my UK phone and thats just perfect, it lasts for ages on the battery and it switches from EE in England (prepay) to T mobile automatically when I have it with me in Nederland (travelling alot between The Nethelands and England) thanks laptopdunce
overlays
I have got a feeling it could be this file manager or overlays that is causing this problem, as there is a banner that comes up at the top of the phone when I turn it on, and alittle octopus that comes down from the top of the screen (that I have no idea what it is for) the Clean banner starts when I turn the phone on and has clean, boost, wifi, app manager and updat on it and folders underneath with folders, clean, boost, flashpight, screenshot and camera in blue underneath, I dont know how this thing started it didnt used to be there, this is what I DESPISE about these bloody things, they just appear for no reason!! Do you think doing a factory reset will stop it?? I only have some photos that I can back up on this phone, no special docs or anything like like, there isnt even an SD card in the phone. Oh, its such a damned pain, thanks laptopdunce

Yeah, it sounds like something you have installed somewhere. Backup what you want to keep and factory reset. If it is something that you installed, that will get rid of it.

OK will try that tomorrow, I have had the Dutch T mobile forum on to me to tell me to try the simcard in another phone to see if it is the simcard that is damaged, I dont have another phone here with me, and I cant see how the Sim card can be damaged as I can make calls through it and T mobile tell me that they can see my credit and details on the SIM card, I will try the factory reset tomorrow and get back to you, I cant imagine how I could have downloaded something, as I looked on youtube for these "remove Overlay" vids but when I do that I dont get the window coming up in google play store permissions saying "you have an overlay running" but there are things showing that were not there when I first got the phone only last month. Its only a phone to stay in contact with people I have never used it on wifi except when connected to my laptop router at home. Will let you know what happens tomorrow, thanks laptopdunce
Just one extra thing, should I take out the SIM card from the Alcatel phone before doing the factory reset? thanks laptopdunce
Anyone got any tips on getting message notifications on the GW4? I am using it with a Pixel 4a5g. I currently have loaded the updated Google messages app on phone and watch. I have enabled notifications everywhere I can find for the app. I can open the watch app and read all my messages, but I can't get any watch notifications. On my GWA2, using Next, I was able to get the notifications and the message would pop up on my watch and let me read it. On the GW4 I have to open the app to read it. I am also open to any other messaging apps that others have found that work.
Update, I did get Next SMS to work, but I wonder if anyone has had any luck with VZW messages or Google messages?
You have to make Google Messages to the default text message app on phone to get notifications from it, and you can only use Google Messages for writing SMS after that.
The first thing I did was make Google Messages the default SMS... as a matter of fact, you can't even bring it up on the phone unless you do that. I know Google is just starting to roll out a new version of messages for using with watches, I don't know how to tell if I have that version or what that version number is, so I guess I will use Next for awhile longer and see.
This feels like a Gear app permissions issue. Check that the gear app on your Phone has permissions to read messages. Also it might be under device admin setting or something like that
I assume you mean the Galaxy Wear app, it does have SMS permissions enabled (actually all permissions enabled).
Note, as I said above, it works like a champ with Next SMS, so I think everything is enabled that needs to be. The difference would have to be with the messaging app itself.
You can also check settings on the watch itself. Settings/Applications/Permissions then scroll to Messages and allow everything one by one.
