2.2 update phone won't or get texts

I have pinpointed the problem. The problem is the WIFI and sleep mode. If you are connected to a WIFI hotspot and have 3G on you will not get calls or texts in sleep mode. Here are the steps to reproduce the problem.
1) Turn off WIFI
2) Put phone in sleep mode.
3) Call your phone, it works fine.
4) Turn On WIFI but do not use any app that will use the WIFI.
5) Put phone in sleep mode right away.
6) Call your phone, again it works fine.
7) Use Safari or any app that will access the WIFI connection.
8) Put phone in sleep mode.
9) Call your phone, this time it won't ring. You won't get texts or VM notifications either.
You have one of 3 choices to get around this problem.
1) Never let you phone go into sleep mode. Yeah right.
2) Turn off WIFI.
3) Turn off 3G.
All 3 of these choices are unacceptable but it may help you cope till the problem is fixed.
I know this is not a viable solution but maybe it will help the dopes at Apple get their stuff together. Every update they put has effected me in a negative way. 1st time I tried to update it bricked my phone and I had to fight tooth and nail for them to give me a new one. This is my buisness phone and I can't afford to miss calls and texts or VM. I had to pay $599(already had contract) for this P.O.S. You got me once Steve but never again.

I had the same error when I was updating, called and spoke to Apple and was directed to disconect my phone, go into C:/documents and settings/owner/application data/apple computer/i tunes
Once there I was told to delete the folders "iPhone Software Updates" and "iPhone updater logs" as well as (these will only apply if you also sync an iPod) "iPod Software updates" and "iPod updater logs"
I was then told to reconnect my phone which prompted a new download of the 2.0 software and it installed without a hitch.
The explanation I got was that sometimes during download the file can be slightly corrupted so this is the way to start with a fresh download and make sure that the iPhone tries to install from the fresh and not the old.
Dunno if it is reliable for everyone but it worked for me.

Ok I followed your steps at my house and had no issues. Everything worked fine but, my area is not 3G, only Edge. Could that make a difference?

After iOS 6.1.1 update, phone won't connect to data network

I've just updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1.1 and now my phone won't connect to AT&T's data network at all. Wifi still works fine, but if I turn it off I have full bars, but no connection to the data network. This worked just fine before the update--what can I do to fix this?

Same with me. 4s-6.1.1--Airtel-india.

Updated phone, now i cant get to my texts

My phone updated this morning and now i can get to my texts, when i go to them all it says is please wait

Oh my word, bwall1982! Lets show that phone who's boss. Are you using any 3rd party text application? I recommend enabling safe mode (steps http://bit.ly/T2hmHz) for an hour or so to see if the text messaging is working properly. If it does, there is an error/glitch in an application on the device. Keep me posted!
Thanks

IOS 5.0.1 Update - Phone Won't Work (Urgent)

I just updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 5.0.1. iTunes recommended that I should do this. Anyway over 800 megabytes later, and installing iOS 5.0.1 on my iPhone 4S, it asks me to connect it to iTunes, however once I do it displays a message saying "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes". Although, I don't want to restore it as it will go back to the old version of iOS (and a waste of download data) and it will erase my iPhone. Please someone help!! I am unable to use my iPhone!!!

iOS 5 is facing problem with updating after been updated to iOS 5, iPhone is stuck in recovery mode (Apple logo & black screen repeat repeatedly).
You can reset it in normal way of how when the iPhone crashes or locks up that prevents the iPhone from responding to being turned off for the steps follow this link,

Since updating to iOS 7 I get text messages on my phone but not my iPad or visa versa. Why?

Is there a bug in the iOS 7 that doesn't allow text messages to appear on both iPhone and iPad? It worked fine before the upgrade.

These are iMessages, not text messages as in SMS/MMS.
On your iPhone go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
Below the "You can be reached by iMessage at" section, is the same selected there as is selected at the same location on your iPads?
With iMessage enabled with the same Apple ID on multiple iOS devices along with the same settings for Send & Receive on each iOS devices, iMessages will be synced so to speak on each device. This is designed so you can start an iMessage conversation with an iPad, leave with your iPhone and continue the conversion with all recevied and sent iMessages available on each iOS device. With an iPhone and iPad activated with iMessage with the same Apple ID, you will have your iPhone's cell phone available on the iPad to start a new conversion from and to receive iMessages addressed to your iPhone's cell phone number. I have Message on my Mac, on my iPad, and my iPhone set to start a new conversation with my iPhone's phone number.

New non apple phone and am not getting texts

What do I need to do if I switched to a non iPhone to receive messages?

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s and keep my same plan but switch to the Edge program. Is this possible? I don't think I should have to pay an early termination fee or anything like that since my phone has become almost unusable. I know under normal circumstances you have to wait 2 yrs to upgrade but due to the update and the poor service I'm now getting I hope Verizon can make an exception. Thank you.

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

TS1538 i have done everything... It was detecting it just fine until I updated itunes. I am getting so frustrated with apple that I am about to get rid of all 5 phones in my house and the 2 ipads.

I updated itunes and now my computer won't detect the phone. I had to travel 2 hours to goto Apple store that tells me that there is nothing wrong with my battery- I just need to restore the phone. Well I have tried and the phone wont restore. I was told by apple representative to update itunes. I did that an not it won't detect the phone. I am so frustrated. My phone won't charge hardly at all and it dies on me like every minute. I have reset the phone and eventually it turns back on like I never reset it even thought I got the screen that says connect to itunes. This phone is jacked and I believe I am getting the run around so the warranty runs out. Someone help! I have done all the troubleshooting and it's not working.

HT1688 did updates on apps now phone won't turn on

Did an update on my apps and now my phone won't turn on. I have held doen the on/off button, I get nothing. Tried charging it and I get nothing. The phone was at 96% charge before this happened. Please help.

Try a hard reset:
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears, this can take 10 seconds or more, ignore the swipe to shutdown message.

My phone won't let me update or download apps. We've tried resetting it. I think I need to take my card off my account. How do I do that??

Safari won't load and I can't update my software, ie., I get an error message. What can I do to fix this?

You can't install Safari 3 on your 10.3.9 OS.
You must use the DVD installer to re-install the older version of Safari found on it.
You can update your operating system buy purchasing Tiger (10.4) and get a more modern version of Safari.

Since the last update for my Iphone 4s i dont get text messages when connected to wifi. my wife is getting them. Imessage is switched off on both phones.

since the 6. version update. of my Iphone 4s My wife was getting my text messages. I found the problem was caused by Imessage when connected to Wifi. I deactivated Imessage on both phones to solve the problem. I now have updated my Iphone to 6.1.1 and i dont get text messages anymore. I have Imessage deactivated on my phone but my wife is getting my text messages again. my wifes phone was not updated to 6.1.1 because the last update lost all her contacts from her phone and we had to but them back in one by one from the outlook list. Her contact are listed in outlook on a seperate list to mine but we can only get my contacts download to her phone. We use the same laptop to sysc phones.
My Iphone does not download photos to My Pictures anymore. I have to copy them across to a folder. I cant find where it backs them up to.
I have lost all confidence in Apple now as i was forced to update to 6.1.1 because of 3G reception issues and not reciving calls and now back to spending several hours trying to fix my phone to recieve a basic text message.

Are you and your wife sharing apple id?
If you are that is the reason why she is seeing your imessage.
On both phone go to settings - message - send&receive - make sure the cell is the default.
You will have to uncheck or remove the apple id.
