I am able to send and receive texts from everyone except ONE person. I will only know she has sent a text if I manually type in her name as if I am composing a text message to her. Only then will our chat history appear. Otherwise there is no indication on my screen, whatsoever, that we have been in contact.
Helps to know which device you're using. You left that out.
I've just had this happen as well on my Z30. I can see the history, and new messages, when i compose a new message to that contact.
I've tried the volume key re-boot, deleting the messages, removing the contact and re-adding. The contact text message history remains even though i've deleted it.
