Text Message incomplete or missing? Also-SMS editing / backspace malfunction...

First issue - sometimes I received text messages that are missing the last few words/characters. I don't think this is an Android or iPhone originated issue as this happens at random from people that I know have different types of phones. Sometimes the 160 character split will break up the message and send the rest in another message, but most of the time I never see the end of the message. I currently use the existing text messaging app in conjunction with the SMS pop-up. The issue was prevalent when I used Handcent and then uninstalled it to see if that was the problem. I have also uninstalled SMS pop-up to see if it was the problem with no luck. I have looked over the settings multiple times and still cannot find anything that would be causing this. Suggestions are welcome.
Second issue - when editing a text message in portrait mode I may erase multiple characters by holding down the backspace key. On occasion, the app flips out, reverts to showing the very first message that was sent or received for the contact, freezes momentarily, and then two buttons appear on the bottom giving me the option to Cancel or Delete. I will hit Cancel or use the back button on the bottom of the phone multiple times before it will return to my message, which at this point has saved as a draft. This is EXTREMELY frustrating. It does it only at random, but it seems to be getting more frequent. The only option most of the time is to go Home and then return to text messages, find my draft, and use the backspace key carefully (and one quick push at a time to erase) so as not to invoke the same issue.
I think both of these are bugs that may be inherent with this phone in particular or possibly Gingerbread...
Thanks!

I've been having this same issue for the past few months, in my case the problem seems to be more prevalent with text messages originating from other carriers (but not always, occasional partial incoming text issues from Verizon wireless phones as well).  I called technical support, followed all their advice (basic tech advice, power cycle, remove sim, reboot, etc.) and was also transferred to HTC support that recommended a hot fix, which didn't really do anything to resolve the issue, also then did a factory reset and still no resolution.  Not sure what other options I have....besides waiting for a new device when I am able to upgrade.  Off topic, I think its Bee S to not be able to upgrade to a new device within 2 years, when Verizon does not fully support, properly updated/hotfix, existing issues in a timely manner...why is it that we are using and outdated OS, when a new one is out and available.  Another compelling argument to purchase an iPhone (on any carrier), one device, one OS.....everyone gets an update at the same time, and phone issues are rapidly resolved. I can continue my rant, but I'll leave it as is...same issues, different day and I'm sure you've all heard the same rants of frustration.

    When I send a text message to someone, it also goes to my husband.  Why?

    You are both signed ointo iMessage with the same APple ID. It is always best practice to use separate APple IDs for iCloud, iMessage & FaceTime.
    If you choose to use the same Apple ID, check your Send & Recieve settings:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Recieve > Make sure your husbands number is not checked on your phone (in both the You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and Start New Conversations From sections) and yours is not check on his phone.

  • Why doesn't text message automatically fall back to SMS instead of options

    I have text messages set to iMessage ok and SMS okay.
    When a text message fails initially why isn't there a setting that the text will 'automatically' rollover to SMS instead of wasting time coming up with 3 options at the bottom of the screen, including sending as SMS?

    The problem could be due to the second reply but I'm suspicious since whenever the problem occurs, the message always goes through when I click the 'option' send as text.
    I believe that's because your forcing it to go as an SMS.
    One associated question. When a text is sent SMS is it solely routed through the carrier's (in this instance Verizon) equipment an lines and when sent as an iMessage is it routed/handled somehow significantly differently other than not charging the apple customer(s)?
    Yes, SMS is solely routed through the carrier's SMS system (does not require a data connection). iMessages are sent by either the carrier's data service or by WiFi to Apple's iMessage servers. Overall, SMS is more reliable. SMSs will go through when even voice calls may not. They can also be sent and received by "dumb" phones. But, they can't be sent/received by devices without cellular voice service. iMessages can be sent/received by iPads, iPod Touches, Mac computers. If the iMessages are sent or received using cellular data, they are charged against the user's data allowance.

  • N96 text messaging Problems auto change from sms t...

    N96 text messaging changes from SMS to MMS when delivering to more than so many people how do i stop this
    i create a text and when i select add recipients if i select so many people it changes the text to a MMS if i add a group of people it does the same too. How do i stop this?

    roll on the firm ware updat from what i can see there a hell of alot of bugs. and i dont know how there logic works out with the MMS being cheaper.
    You send a 1 -3 page SMS text to someone it costs 30p (or free if u have free texts) you send 1 MMS it costs roughly 35p.
    ok the text will be reduced to 1 message when changed to MMS but still cost u 35p instead of 0p.
    Also the N96 at 1st is only available on CONTRACT which means people going to have free texts so i the long run its going to cost people more money the way they have it set up plus if you dont know about this feature and send texts that it changes to mms (WITHOUT IT ALLERTING YOU) it costing people money they got some kind of commision going with the service providers?
    a simple feature would of been to have it so it goes to change it and comes up with a message and the option to keep the same or convert but that would be too simple wouldnt it lol.
    Dont you just love big companies ways of thinking (they dont!!!)

  • My text messaging is missing after iOS7 upgrade.  Any fixes?

    After upgrading to iOS on iPhone 4s text messaging app is missing.  Only see a blank screen when bringing up the Messaging screen.  Incoming messages arrive and sound an alert but can't access the user interface.  There is only a blank screen which times out and reverts to the home page. I have re set network settings, all settings multiple times. Re booted, also backed up to iClould and re-set to factory settings.  Nothing works. 

    I'm so sremely frustrated! First off didn't wanna update my device after having it 5 years, then I'm forced to, then I learn a new operating software, then they take away the ONE reason I stuck with Motorola, swype integration. I'm done playing this update game. I want a flip phone back. Any solution to this update? Was leaving swype out a mistake? Substitutions? Also, my personal dictionary is gone. What a waste of time.

  • Cannot receive text messages and visual voicemail isn't working

    Ok so I've searched but cannot find anything on my first problem. I cannot recieve text messages from people through normal SMS but rather only through iMessage. I keep getting a message saying my sms inbox is full and that I need to delete some messages first. I only get the messages after turning my phone off and then turning it back on. Any ideas on how to fix this or if there are any solutions online somewhere that I missed.
    Also, the second thing is my visual voicemail isn't working anymore and now it's acting like an old voicemail where I have to call and listen to messages. Any ideas on that issue?
    Any help is greatly appreciated and sorry in advance if either of these questions were asked and I was to blind to see them. Thanks

    Turning it off and on a few times will do nothing. What you need to do is remove your battery while your phone is powered on then replace it a few seconds after that. Your phone MUST be powered on when you remove the battery.

  • Cannot backup text messages

    Hi,
    I'm trying to backup my phone but always get an error on the text (sms) messages. If I look into the backup log, following entry can be read:
    "Some content on the phone could not be read and was not included in the backup.
    Following content can not be copied to other phone models:
    - Text messages"
    Something else that also does not work, and is probably part of the same problem is going to messages from within Nokia PC Suite. It opens a new screen which says "updating..." but nothing happens. The progress bar stays empty. (I waited for 10 minutes, nothing happens).
    I'm using: Nokia E61
    firmware: 2.0618.06.05
    Nokia PC Suite 6.82.22.0
    Anybody an idea?
    Kind regards,

    Tried it... Restarted the phone after the install.. Started a new bakup. But it is not the solution.
    The backup goes very fast to 60% complete starting the text messages, like in 1 minute or so. Then it slows down every percentage. It really stalls at 69% - Text messages. To continue only after 10-15 minutes to complete with the error that everything except the text messages are backup-ed.

  • Calls not coming through, text messages not being sent

    My Note 2 has been acting up the last several days, and since I use this phone as my primary business line. My text messages are hit & miss when sending/receiving, and when clients calls - i pick up, and NOTHING. and when i try to call back - NOTHING.. just silence, not even a ring. What gives?
    Why is my phone doing this? This is frustrating.

    There is two things to try.
    1) hold down the power button and the large center button until the iPhone resets. ( hard reset) if that corrects the problem all is well. http://m.wikihow.com/Hard-Reset-an-iPhone
    2) go into settingshttp://ipod.about.com/od/iphonetroubleshooting/ht/Factory-Reset-Iphone-4.htm which is a total reset of the device. Then it takes you through the set up process again. You will need your apple id  and password. You will also have to click on the phone icon, voicemail and follow the set up prompts. Under settings mail ,cntacts and calendars you then enter your email settings again. You will want to turn on imessage in the settings. Your apps can be reloaded either via iTunes on a computer or from the Apps Store on the device, under purchased, not on this iPhone.
    All this is on the phones manual under Safari. Or online owners manual.
    Good Luck

  • 2 iphones in our household and the second one is receiving the first one's text messages

    My son and I both have the iphone 4.  We share the itunes file. We just ran the last update to 6.1.2.  The next morning I had a message on my phone that said my son's phone was using my number and all you could click was the ok button.  Throughout the day as I was receiving and sending text messages my son was also receiving them.  Thinking they were for him he was also able to join in the text messaging.  I went to itunes and that menu is now different too and I could not find anything that would stop this.  Does anyone know what is causing this and how to fix it?

    This happens when you both use the same Apple ID for iMessage.  To fix this you have two choices:
    On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
    On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".  Also uncheck the other phone's phone number, if present.

  • How to tell if a text message has been sent to multiple recipients

    I was wondering if there is any way to tell if a text message you recieve has also been forwarded to other people from the sender and if you are but one of many to receive the same message. A friend of mine says she can do it on her phone-which is not an iPhone-by looking under either "properties" or "more", neither of which I have seen on my iPhone. Sometimes you just want to know a text was sent to only you...

    No, you cannot do that on the iPhone.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • IOS 8.1 Mesages/Text Message Forwarding - Duplicate Computer names

    I just upgraded to iOS 8.1 on my iPhone 6.  On my IPhone, when enabling Text Message Forwarding to my devices I noticed that my Mac's (15" MacBook Pro 5.1 Late 2008 with Yosemite) computer name appeared there twice. As expected, only one of the two duplicate computer names was successfully activated (switched to green) for text message forwarding,
    I had recently changed/edited the Computer Name of my Mac in System Preferences/Sharing panel.  The duplicate names that appear in Text Message Forwarding is the previous/old name and the existing name of my Mac described above.
    Is there a way to delete the old name from appearing in Text Message Forwarding by changing something on my Mac, such as editing or deleting a plist?
    Thanks in advance for any constructive assistance, comments or suggestions that can help me fix this.

    Problem solved! 
    I changed my iCloud password and the duplicate device names (ghost devices) disappeared from Settings/Messages/Text Message Forwarding on my iPhone.
    I hope this helps somebody with a similar issue.

  • Z30 won't display text message sender or message body

    Although I love my Z30, it will not play ball with texts. When I receive any message, even if the sender is in my contacts, their name is not displayed, just their number with the international + format. In the conversation however, the sender's name IS usually displayed with each message, just not in the hub or text message list view. Also, sometimes the message itself is not displayed at all - I just see the start of the message in the hub but when I open it the message is empty whichever way I turn the phone round, and there's no coversation history. This usually happens where the sender is on iPhone.
    Everything else works great, apart from this text issue

  • Has anyone had trouble getting hangouts instead of text messages?

    Has anyone had trouble getting text messages.  I am getting hangouts instead of text messages.

    Wife,
    Once you merge SMS and Hangouts, Hangout becomes the default handler of incoming and outgoing SMS. To switch to SMS or Hangouts, click the icon on the left side of the Text box.
    Hope this helps.
