Hi @raejoan,

 

Thank you for reaching out. We're happy to help. Have you downloaded any new applications recently? We have a few steps we can try. First let's try a Soft Reset by removing your battery for 2-3 minutes. After this, go to your Settings>Applications>Application Manager>All>Messaging>tap Clear cache. If this doesn't help, follow the same steps until you get to 'All' and then tap Menu>Reset app preferences. You may also try running your device in Safe Mode for 3-4 hours to see if you are able to receive messages. Here are the instructions for that: http://bit.ly/1vkcs06 . Let us know if any of these steps help!

 

Thanks,

Ema with Samsung Support

I am unable to receive text messages on my Samsung Galaxy S5 Active phone... I cannot find any instrutions online about the Active phone....Frustrated and would love any suggestions. I have already tried taking out my battery for 10 seconds then again taking battery out for 4 minutes, cleared message history and still nothing. 

 

Thank you
