I can't imagine being without my text notifications Nhsmoker. Lets dig deeper & get to the bottom of this. What kind of phones are you using? Are you getting notifications from other apps and functions of the phone?

I have exactly the same problem. Xperia v3 upgraded to lollipop now no message+ notifications. All other notifications OK. More correctly, the notification appears for a second then disappears. the text is then marked as read.

Thanks, that worked for me! But this is a temporary fix and the underlying issue with the update still exists. If the app has auto-update checked in the GooglePlay, then the next time it updates, it might cause the same issue again. Verizon should provide a fix.

I have the same problem with my Sony Xperia. When a text message is received, the audio notification rings and the unread message icon appears on the top of the screen, or a notification appears in locked screen mode, But that only remains visible for a second or two before disappearing. This means that if you did not hear the phone ring or it was on silent, you would not know just by looking at it that you had unread messages, meaning you could miss important ones.
Uninstalling updates works but this is a temporary fix as it means that users are now back to the base version of the app and lose newer features or bug fixes that have come through in previous app updates. Verizon should find a permanent fix for this.

Fix worked for me as well. I lost all texts since Thursday when Lollipop update ran and had to reset customization but otherwise OK. I agree that this solution is temporary and we will likely go down this road again unless this bug is addressed. Thanks for your information nhsmoker.
