TS2755 iOS 7.1 SMS and iMessage issues

Ever since I updated my phone to 7.1 my iMessage and SMS has been playing up....I recieve some messages about 12 hours after they were sent, and some not at all. A lot of my friends are having the same issue. Are apple aware of this bug and are they working to fix it??

I have this problem also and I have visited an apple shore who couldn't help. I've reset all my settings and have fine a full system restore, with no solution.
I have had to turn iMessage off to ensure I receive messages sent to me.
Apple do not seem to want to acknowledge this as a problem, so far.

I have an Ipad2 and my daughter has Iphone 4s and I would like to have all SMS and IMessages duplicated on the IPAD2 I was told I could do this by typing in the mobile phone number into the IPAD2 some where in the settings.

I can't send/get all of my SMS and iMessages.

I've turned iMessages on and off several times, logged into and out of iMessages, reset my network settings, and even went to the Genius Bar. I get/can send some messages but not others for both SMS and iMessages. my iPad seems to get everything, but it's not always convenient to have it out and using it. I can send an iMessage on my phone but the reply will only show up on my iPad. Same with SMS messages. I have people who I know are on Apple devices, and can only send SMS messages on my phone...but their response will come thru as an iMessage on my iPad. Some messages I don't even know I've received unless I check my iPad, which happened last week when my boss texted me several times and needed something from me and I had no clue he was trying to reach me until hours later when I checked my iPad. Some iMessages I send work, others don't. Not sure how to fix this. I have an iPhone 6 using the latest software, if anyone could help that would be great.

Do you have the same iCloud account signed onto the phone as you do the iPad?
Are the Send/Receive addresses the same on both devices?
Are the Contacts the same on both devices?
What iOS is the iPad running?

SMS and iMessage Continuity

When you use Continuity to receive SMS messages on your desktop Mac, you have to be on the same Wi-Fi network. This means you don't have to worry about your SMS or MMS popping up on a work Mac if you're at home, or a school iPad if you're at a restaurant, or anywhere else beyond your reach.
I love this feature! But the problem is that it doesn't work with iMessage. If someone sends me an old-fashioned SMS, then it appears on my iMac only if I'm nearby. But if someone sends me an iMessage it pops up on my iMac - at work - even if I'm at home, and this is really annoying.
Am I missing something?

Hi,
Ever since Messages was in Beta during may to December 2012 it has had an element of "Sync" which is in fact "Display on All Devices".
The stated goal has always been to get to a point where SMS and iMessages could be seen on both types of Device (Mac and iOS).
As the app has changed on the Mac through Messages 7 in Mountain Lion and the ver 8 in Mavericks and the so called ver 8 in Yosemite this has got closer during the various updates along the way.
Previous iChat versions have changed at Upgrades (OS X 10.8 to OS X 10.9 for instance) and sub version during update.
For Instance OS X 10.5.8 is the "end" of Leopard and at this point iChat is at version 4.0.9
This continues until we get to Mavericks.
There are at least three "builds" but all are still called version 8 (only error logs show you the difference)
In Yosemite the app still gets called Version 8 despite the Messages pane in the preferences completely disappearing and the subsequent changes to the general section and the disappearance of the Format Menu. There are also changes to the way you are stuck with the Contacts app Pic and not an independent one in the app like before and the round Buddy pic s in Buddy lists and in the Chats with associated changes and removal of linked Menu items for such Displays in each (no more Name and Pics in Chats)
Have you tried Do Not Disturb in the Notifications (System Preferences) so that Alerts or Banners do not appear ?
The Setting in the General Section of the Preferences that says "When I Quit set the Status to Offline" does not work for the iMessages account which means the app will start up if iMessages are "heard"
This does seem to be different to the Mountain Lion and Mavericks versions. However it does seem it stop the app launching but the DOCK displays the unread indicators.
I would take to unticking the "Enable this Account" box if you need to leave the computer On.

Is it possible to save an iPhone back up and access the files later if needed? I have a string of text sms and iMessages that I would like to save and then delete them from my phone. Is this possible?

I have a string of text sms and iMessages that I would like to save and then delete them from my phone, but gain access to them later if I need them. I prefer to have the string with the date/time stamp vs copying and pasting into a doc or text file. Is this possible?

Not unless you buy an app that accesses data from an iTunes backup. Check in the app store.

Best way to view iPhone sms and imessage messages from backup

Hello I have sms and imessage messages that I would like to export from my phone or computer to be viewed on another device. I know there is a way to view texts through third party software and I was wondering if there is one that is particularly good at it or if there was a native way to do it? Any help would be much appreciated as these texts will be used as evidence in a court case so some kind a log format with timestamps would be ideal.

I actually purchased GoodReader because it is easy to transfer files without iTunes. I dislike the file sharing through iTunes. You can use a Mac or PC. Once I was in the app I clicked the "Wi-Fi" symbol which brings me to "WiFi-transfer." It will show this --
"WiFi status: ON
Use one of the following addresses exactly as you see them
1. IP-address: http://192.168.0.98:8080 <-- Local LAN address the iPhone is broadcasting on.
2. Bonjour-address http://Myname-iPhone.local:8080"
All you have to do is type one of those addresses into your browser. (Safari, etc.)
It will take you to a page that has iPhone Connection and a list of options. You can either create a new directory within the application or use an existing one to upload a text file. It's rather simple, you just select "Choose a file to upload" > Select your file > Press upload > Start the app and see your text/pdf/whatever file.
You can also connect to a server to download a text file, browse the web, or enter a url. I see it also has an ICloud folder which I'm not sure if it integrates with Apple's iCloud or not, I think it does. I'm not affliated with the app and I'm not saying you have to buy it, I'm just a happy user.
If you don't want to buy this app let me know I'll keep looking for a free or cheaper one for you if you want.

Has a solution to the FaceTime and iMessages issue been found?

Hello everyone. I have been having issues with signing into FaceTime and iMessages with my Apple ID on my new iPad Mini 3. I am running iOS 8.3, the latest version, and I first noticed the problem when I took my iPad out of the box and set it up for the first time. I did not notice a problem before that because I was already signed in on a fifth generation iPod Touch and a first generation iPad Air and I stayed signed in at all times. The apps worked fine when I was signed in, but failed to sign me in again after I had signed myself out on both devices. I have put in several calls to Apple Care and even spoke with a supervisor who said he forwarded my problem to the engineers. I was told I would receive a call from Apple when the problem has been resolved. So far, I have heard nothing. Does anyone know if this problem has been repaired yet? Or are they still working on it?

I'm assuming you have already done the standard troubleshooting steps:
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
There is is an ongoing thread in the forum & while some have finally had it resolved, others are still waiting, There seems to be an issue with Date & more specifically Time not syncing properly.
On one of your devices try resetting by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears then let go & let the iPad boot up normally, Try to sign into iMessage/FaceTime again. You could also try toggling Airplane mode on & off. Again, some have had success doing this while others have not.

N80 SMS and Ringtone issues.

Hi Everyone,
My phone takes too long to send SMS (2 - 3min), my gallery freezes when you revert back to it after editing a picture and the ringtones play when my phone rings, but seconds later it slows down like a broken record!
I have perform the *-3-Green reset, I have had the software updated and the issue is unresolved.
I dont think Nokia knows what to do now except for reloading the firmware. (Theey have reloaded it a total 9 times since I got the phone in July 2006)
Can anyone shine some light, apart from going to another brand?
My carrier is Vadofone AU.
Cheers.

Since upgrading TO iOS 8.3 FaceTime and iMessages stop working at me iPhone 4s.

Facetime and iMessages are working no my iPad with my email direction but not recognizing my celular number, my iPhone. What can I do TO make ig work?

I had this issue with my iPhone5 on Verizon. I just finished a call with Apple, here were the steps we took to correct the issue;
Connected phone to computer, opened iTunes
clicked on the phone icon in iTunes and selected Summary tab
selected Restore iPhone
When asked, selected set up as new, not from a backup. During this process iTunes found and downloaded new carrier settings
When this restore completed I had cell signal
then restored from a backup

SMS and MMS issues with Z10

Every since I updated my phone (10.1.0.4181), my SMS and MMS have been failing. My SMS will often freeze on one conversaton for up to half an hour and won't let me type or move to a different conversation, though I can go back to the hub or access my apps. Clicking on a different conversation just takes me back to the one that it froze on. Sometimes the entire conversation area is just grey and I can't see anything. My MMS will not send at all, every time that I try it just fails and says "General Problems". When I try to receive them a download button pops up, but when I click on it the button just disappears and nothing happens. I have tried rebooting the phone and pulling the battery, neither has helped. I have tried turning the data off an on again (with a reboot in between) at the suggestion of someone else, but still without success. Everything else in the Hub functions properly, just not my SMS or MMS. Help!

I am having this exact same problem, as well as my contacts list has been scrambled so that the names and numbers no longer match. The phone worked excellent until I updated to 4181 which has completely ruined the useability of my phone.
If Bell gave you a fix for it PLEASE SHARE.

Serious FaceTime and iMessage issues.

When I enter my account information to log in to FaceTime and IMessage I press sign in and then it brings me to the next page, but then like 5 seconds later it brings me back to the sign in. Why is this happening?

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

How to restore SMS and iMessage from itunes backup?

Hi, I made a backup with itunes, and made a clean install of iOS 7.1.1. When I was going to recover all my data, iTunes told me that the backup was corrupt (and I only had that backup) Using iBackUp Bot and the information linked to iCloud, I was able to recover everything from that corrupted backup, except for my sms. But in the storage section of Configuration, I can see like 1gb of data in sms, although the Messages app is empty.
Any ideas or help about how import my sms back to the iphone?
Thanks!

Same issue, previous device backed up to iCloud, then setting up new device, did the restore from icloud backup that I made last week, but camera roll is empty.
iCloud help says Camera roll is backed up. Checked iCloud backup, Camera roll is there.
Forums suggest restore from itunes, tried ... but again empty camera roll.
Clear all settings and data, as suggested in forums, bearing in mind its a new device, restore from back up, not USB but Wifi only, still empty camera roll.
Wiped it, tried restore again, still no Camera roll. Lot sof shared photostreams, but not my photos.
Download icloud PC app, only options for photos is Photostreams, no camera roll.
No way of accessing camera roll through itunes, or icloud app, or icloud.com
Is there really any point in iCloud backing up camera roll if it cant restore ?
Any suggestions, would be appreciated.
