Can't read my SMS on my Android phone An update fixed my problem. It was - as I suspected - just a bug.


Recently I upgrade my Samsung s4, and now every time when I get a message via SMS, the text - and background - all white?:

I tried messing with the settings, but still my messages won't show up?

How can I read my SMS messages again?

Phone Info


Samsung S4(GT-I9505) 
Android version 5.0.1.
Try a third party messaging app, such as Google Messenger or Handcent SMS to see if the problem is duplicated. If so, verify you're running the most current software version with Samsung Kies. If you are, try a factory reset and see if that works. There's a possibility that the Lollipop update for the S4 has some bugs that will hopefully be patched rather quickly.
