Why aren't I getting notifications on already started text conversations?

AT&T 4.4.4. update

So disgusted with this update. I used to love my Samsung Galaxy S5 but since the update, it's been driving me crazy. I know trivial to some, but when I receive a text message on an already started conversation, I get no notification. Driving me nuts. Anyone know how to fix that? :-\

Is it NOT happening only if you have the conversation open?

I realize this is off topic to your concern but do either of you know if the S4 is getting the 5.x update?

Randun, to answer your question, I believe it is, however no idea on a time frame. Here is the source:

As for the OP, I have noticed this as well... I tried putting a louder sound on my text messages to see if I was crazy and I *watched* a text come through with no sound or vibe whatsoever.

Boom! From My S5

I am having the same problem with not only text but email also....my LED notification light doesn't flash either. I've factory reset and still nothing.

That's correct....I get a notification on the initial received text message...but as the conversation goes on and if I have it open, I do not hear anything that I new text arrived. I used to.

Same exact problem here.. i will keep chatting away and not even know my friend has texted me in regard to our convo. I'm having the LED problem too. I just figured it came with all the other Lollipop Ridiculousness.

Re: AT&T 4.4.4. update

I also have this problem. When I am using the default Messages app on Samsung Galaxy S5, 4.4.4 Kitkat, and I am texting with someone and their chat window is open, I do not receive any notification sound when I receive their messages. The bubble just pops up with no notification sound or vibrate. Very annoying as I have missed responses when I simply put down the phone after sending a message. There is no other problems with notifications if I backout of the conversation window or switch to another app. This problem only occurs when I am actually in the conversation chat window. Unfortunately, I may not be "actually looking at the app as the messages come in"; I usually put my phone back in the holster or set it down. Samsung support chat confirmed you will now NOT get notification sounds when you are in the chat window of your device. We all need to escalate this issue and ask them to restore this in a later version - make it a setting/option.

Yeah its kind of important for me. We all get busy with other things when texting so why are they doing this I wonder? I keep mine open when I'm gaming on my PC or Xbox and could be doing something on screen and have no idea I have a message.

Wonder if Light Flow would fix this.

That is too bad it was confirmed by Samsung support that it is just the way it is now. I have missed important replies because of it before I figured out what was happening! I would send off a message then set down my phone, and it goes into sleep/screen lock. I would keep listening for a notif and glancing for the flashing blue LED waiting for a reply, even hitting the home button every once in a while to look for the envelope icon and it doesn't even show that! Only until I unlock and look at the thread would I know there is a reply.

Yes!! I do hope they give this back to us. I can see MAYBE not the tone/vibration while open (although I still would want) but at least the LED notif and icon.
