No Quick Response Option for Incoming calls

After the upgrade to Lollipop 5.0, I do not have the option of sending a text "quick response" when I receive a call. Only options are to accept or decline call. Any one else experiencing this problem? I am using Messenger for texts.
When you get the drop down notification while doing something on the phone, the option is gone. When you get a call when the screen is off, it's still there.
Just added some pics
No option for quick response when call received and screen is off. I've spent hours with both Verizon and Moto and they can't figure it out except to do a factory reset which I'm not going to do.
When you're in the phone app, tap on the three vertical dots by the mic, then settings, then general settings.... Is there an option for quick responses?
Yes, there is a heading for "quick responses" and I've edited them to my liking. It's just that the ability to send a quick response when a call is received is not available. As I have indicated neither Verizon nor Motorola can solve the problem. In both instances the "took control" of my phone and could exactly what was happening when a call was received. Sigh, I can live without this feature and hopefully will be fixed in the next Lollipop update.
I'm out of ideas, other than the one you don't want to do.... Hmm, did you try clearing data on the phone app?
Thanks for your interest and help.
If you tap on the contact icon in the pop up it takes you to full screen where the quick response is available. Essentially one extra tap

That is very good to know.
But
I think the OP is saying that he has tried all this and the option is just missing. Like when you or I tap on the answer circle and we see the quick message icon above the answer/hang up icons, his is not there.
Oops, missed that. Sorry. Thanks for clarifying
Yes, you are right. Shame on me. I now realize that you can tap on the icon of the caller and then leave a quick message. Thanks.

[Q] 2 Questions in dire need of being answered.

There are 2 things bugging me at this point and want to know if i am just overlooking the solution. The first thing is can we remove the auto brightness slider from the Notification Bar? I have looked and searched all over i cant seem to remove it. Second thing is is there any way to stop the screen from turning on when i receive i new text message using the default messages apps? I usually dont use default messaging apps however i want to use the edge lighting and people edge notifications. Anyone figured out how to get rid of these 2 issues?

Unfortunately the brightness slider can not be removed as it's built into the framework, also no way to disable screen wake with stock text messaging app (until we get root if it ever happens)

Text Message screen - Have you tried going into the text message app, swipe left, under Advanced, Settings, uncheck Enable Popup? My screen does not wake when I get a text.

I have to second this - my screen doesn't light up when I get a message ... BUT I also use the Samsung SMS app and not the Verizon one. I don't even care if the VZW one is better, I refuse to use Big-Red branded apps.
As for the brightness slider, it appears this is now baked into the framework without any option of removing. I'm sure it would be an easy fix if we had root, but you'll have to be patient on that front.

[Q] How to I get back to this Voicemail Screen?

Attached you will find the images "Screen I want" and "Missed Call Screen", these will be referenced in my question.
See: "Screen I want" attachment.
There are two way I know how to get to this screen and both of them aren't very useful. The first way I know of is to get a voice-mail. If this happens a notification will appear in the tray saying "X Voice-mails" and clicking on said notification will bring me to that screen. Note this only works when the notification is there and thus can not be used to check an old voice-mail or a notification I excused on accident.
The second way is to have a missed call. When I have a missed call selecting THAT notification brings me to the "Missed Call Screen". On this screen I do not have the ability to listen to voice-mail but if I click the Option Dots in the top right corner and hit view contact, then hit the arrow in the top left corner (of the contact screen) to go back I not to the missed calls screen but to the ideal voice-mail screen.
Phone: Samsung Glaxay S5
Interface: Lolipop
Updated: Fully
Launcher: Google Launcher
Voicemail Provider: Googlevoice
Service Provider: ATnT
I will gladly provide any more information if requested. Please help me .
To be clear; I am looking for a way to get to this screen, to check my voice-mail, at any time instead of only when a notification is present. Thank you.
Not sure if there is a way to mark this solved but I solved this:
Contact -> Logs -> Click on person with voice-mail.

Another novel way to do this is to find the icon on your system that looks like an old-time telephone handset. Tap that, and the phone application should load. At the top, there should be an icon labeled Keypad. Click on that. You should get a numeric keypad. Hold down the 1 key, it will dial your voice mail number.

While it is true this will call the voicemail it does not work on my phone. My visual voicemail (seen in the picture) downloads the voicemail from my server so calling the server (via the voicemail button, or holding 1, or dialing myself, ect) always results in it telling me there are zero voicemails. The ONLY way for me to check voicemail is that screen.
........... if your using Google Voice do you have the GV app installed ? .............

Download "Swipe Dial" from play store. Add your favourites and all contacts and enjoy. Thank me later.

Text message pop ups arent showing up.

The pop up where it shows a text message briefly don't show up. I don't know that I've even noticed it on my Note 9 but it did on my Note 8. I'm using Nova but even when i change to the default loader it still doesn't do it. I checked the settings and pop ups are enabled.
Anybody have an idea why my text messages aren't showing in the pop up bubble? Maybe it doesn't do this on the Note 9?

Have you got edge lighting set to work while screen on? I had this problem, edge lighting when screen on gives just a little notification popup for a second, but, edge lighting barely works, mime doesn't work at all now with screen on or off.
Also check your messaging app's notification settings and make sure they're set to high priority, only high priority gives audio and visual notification when the screen is on.
I use android messages because Samsung messages doesn't have the ability to one click copy the login codes that you get in texts directly from notifications.

Try this method: go to menu / setting / display / Edge screen / Edge Lightning / Manager notifications then turn off the Message's notifications in this section. The pop-up will be appearing when you get the incoming SMS....
