Can't access contacts, not receiving texts, not all calls come through....

I downloaded the required update to my Motorola Droid Bionic this morning. Ever since I can't get into my contacts. For over 8 hours when I click on the contacts icon, I see a message: "Contact list is being updated." I am not receiving text messages and only occasionally do I receive incoming phone calls. I can call out however. Most of my emails aren't coming through either. I've tried turning off and removing the battery. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Not sure why you started a duplicate thread to this one:

At any rate ... you might try a system cache clear:
Power down phone
Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously until you see the Boot Mode Selection Menu
Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
Should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
Press volume up/down simultaneously to go into system recovery
Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select

IPhone4 will send but not receive texts or phone calls

My iPhone4 just stopped receiving texts or phone calls??? I can call out and send texts, but it will not receive anything?? I have gone through troubleshooting and reseting network and all that, still nothing?? Any ideas?

Contact your carrier.

How can I fix my phone's ringer? The call comes through but it won't ring.

I've had my iPhone for over 6 months now with no issues. I have not had it reserviced, its not refurbished, and I bought it new from an AT&T store.
This week my phone stopped ringing. The incoming call comes through on the screen, but it doesn't ring out loud so I know I'm getting a call and I can't sit and stare at my iPhone's screen all day long to see if I'm getting an incoming call. It vibrates when a call comes in maybe 20% of the time.
Today I went into settings and reset my settings but it still didn't bring my ringer back. It plays the ringers when you are looking through the list of ringers, it plays it when you alter the volume setting, but when a call is actually coming in or when I'm receiving a text message or something, no sound.
What can I do to get my ringer back?

Check the mute switch on the side above the volume rocker. If the red dot shows, the phone is muted. You'll still be able to play the ringtones to select one.
I find that the switch can be thrown to "mute" by accident when I put my iPhone in my belt holster.

Can numbers be blocked from receiving text messages and calls?

can phone numbers be blocked from receiving text messages and/or calls on IPhone?

You have to check with your carrier. I know Verizon you can log in and block calls.
You can not selectively do this on the phone.

HT5012 Why can't I send or receive texts or phone calls in and out?

I can't send text or recieve or ring out or people ring me

What did your carrier say when you asked them?

Not receiving texts from some contacts

I have the Verizon Juke phone, and have been using the model for years. Recently, I had an issue on a previous Juke device where I was no longer receiving texts from particular contacts, while others were coming through. Everyone was able to receive my texts, however. The problem always happened between me and two or three others at the same time, so it had nothing to do with their personal phone settings. The texts from them to me would get backlogged without being delivered, then arrive en masse a week or two later all at once, and it was always random, without me fiddling around with phone settings or anything of the sort.
I assumed that it was an issue with that Juke, so I bought a new one and activated it, but it did not fix the problem. I had to call Verizon support, and after about an hour of troubleshooting, they informed me that the only solution was to remove the texting feature from my phone, then reinstate it, ultimately losing every text that was stuck in backlog. Although I lost those texts, my phone regained its functionality. The solution worked for about a month, but recently it has returned, and I would like to have a permanent fix, so that I may always receive texts from all of my contacts. As I mentioned, it is a system issue, and it has nothing to do with others' iPhone settings or anything of the sort. Thanks!

Hello Kalysm,
I am so sorry you are experiencing these issues with your phone. I know it's upsetting to not get your message, especially when you've put effort into troubleshooting, and the issue continues. Just to make sure, do you have the area code programmed into your contacts for each of the people you've had issues with? The number should have the area code, but not have a 1 in front of it.
If you've already confirmed the number is listed correctly, and the problem is persisting, our Technical Support team can file a network ticket to get this issue resolved once and for all. They can be reached at 800-922-0204.
Thank you,

TS4268 I CAN NOT RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE USING IMESSAGE - I HAVE MY IMESSAGE TURNED OFF BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TEXTS GOING TO ALL MY ACCOUNTS - HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS PLEASE HELP - MISSING SEVERAL IMPORTANT COMMUNICATIONS...

I CAN NOT RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE USING IMESSAGE

On an iPhone your iMessages will go to your phone number.
You can select another email to use on iPod or iPad.
Go to settings
Messages
Send and receive
Check your phone number and uncheck the common Apple ID you share so your messages will not go to other devices.

All of a sudden I can not receive text messages on my MOTOX. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. I can send them, but can't receive them.

My MOTO X was working fine, then all of a sudden, I can not receive text messages. I have checked the settings and they look correct to me, and I have done everything the web site recommends, except wiping the phone and starting over, to try and fix it. Has anyone else had this issue, and how did you resolve it?
Thanks so much.

That's strange that your Moto X wont receive any text. Thank you for trouble shooting the issue. Let's see what's going on! Does your device have any physical or liquid damage? Does anyone else have an issue with calling or texting? What zip code are you in?

I have been having issues with not receiving texts and voicemails daily, for a few months now. If I turn the phone completely off, when I turn it back on the messages will flood in from hours before. I can't be continually turning off my phone in case som

I have been having issues with not receiving texts and voicemails daily, for a few months now. If I turn the phone completely off, when I turn it back on the messages will flood in from hours before. I can't be continually turning off my phone in case someone left me a message. How do I resolve this issue?

Wifi: my Cell phone will remember 10 wifi connections. So delete any you don't use often and your home wifi and try to enter home wifi again.
if it still won't connect to home wifi, call your internet provider for help. You may need a newer router or different settings Or upgraded service. Your phone seeks the best connection and will refuse lesser connections.
last resort. Backup the phone. Do a full reset, then restore as new with the backup.
if still not fixed, go back to apple and insist on repair or replacement.
HOWEVER. voicemail is not a wifi issue, it's a carrier function, which is why the SIM card is a suspect.

I have a new IPhone5c and do not receive texts or calls from my daughter's phone. We did not have this problem with my old Envy Touch. Verizon is our provider. Can you troubleshoot?

I have a new IPhone5c and do not receive texts or calls sent from my daughter's phone; I'll call this phone 2. We did not have this problem with my old Envy Touch. Verizon is our provider. Can you troubleshoot? My other daughter has a new IPhone5c too. She receives calls and texts from sent from phone 2. Any tips for remedying this problem?
Thank you.

Turn off iMessage in your phones settings. Apple devices can only use iMessage to other Apple devices.
Turning off iMessage will allow the messages to go as regular text messages.

Where in Apple can you get answers as to why one can't consistently access icloud and when you can you can't access contacts or notes etc?

One computer, can't sign into ICloud "encountered an error trying to connect to server". On the other computer left myself signed in and now can't access contacts or notes: "Can't load Contacts/Notes as there was a problem loading the application". This has been going on for about 3 weeks. What is up and what is being done about it?

Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.
Regards.

I upgraded from Iphone4 to Galaxy S4 and not receiving text messages from Iphones.I went to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistered my old iPhone to resolve the issue. It's been one day and I cannot recieve text messages from Iphones

Verizon wiping out old phones would have nothing to do with it. The phone is no longer associated with the number, so wiping the phone would have no effect. It is your Apple ID which is the problem. You have iMessage turned on for your Apple ID. iPhones which have your Apple ID associated with your contact will send texts to your Apple ID, not your phone #. If you have another Apple device which can use iMessage, you could turn off iMessage in that device, but as long as your friends have your Apple ID associated with your contact and you have turned on iMessage in an Apple device and never turned it off before switching from an Apple device to another platform, you will have this problem.
You can bet that Apple will not address the problem, as they don't see it as a problem if someone is using a phone other than an iPhone. Apple expects no one will ever switch away from an iPhone once one has been used. Therefore, no problem for them to address.
The problem lies with Apple wanting their users to go through yet another proprietary interface, iMessage, which the MAJORITY of all smartphone users do not have access.

Nokia 5800 not receiving texts problem!

Hi guys Bought the Nokia 5800 about 2 weeks ago and all has been fine with it until recently.....
Ive done no modifications of upgrades or played about with any of the settings..
But now for some reason im not receiving text messages when they are sent??
The only way I can get them is by either sending one, turning my phone off then back on or by going into message settings and selecting view sim messages then the message will pop up....
But I have to do this everytime which is quite annoying! I can do everything else fine....send messages, ring people receive calls etc.
Ive rang vodaphone and 5 times they have fobbed me off with different things to try and none have worked....Ive tried the hard reset and still nothing!
Is anybody else having this problem, or does anyone know a solution to fix it?
Thanks

I haved the same problem and I think I solved it, and it works (right now and hopefully also in future).
I have 5800XM with latest firmware upgrade - V30.0.011
THIS IS NOT NEEDED BUT USEFULL
Connect your phone (with phone battery loaded on full) to PC. Make backup of your phone data. Menu START, Nokia, Nokia Ovi, Content Copier
If you have V20 or V21... *#0000# - select this combination as a phone number to check what version do you have. If you have V20 you can update firmware to V21 via NSU (Nokia Software Updater). All international language versions beside English are corrupt (last week I checked, maybe something changed) so better use English version because it's always latest, fresh etc. ALWAYS read what NSU talk to you on the screen.
If you have already V21, update to V30 you can do only from phone. You must have access to stable WIFI connection (because file to download is something like 5MB size) and phone battery loaded on full. I'm using Polish language so I don't know how it's named in English but... Press middle button twice, go to Preferences, go to Phone and find icon with arrow ("Phone management" or something like that) then phone icon with arrow straight down - this is responsible for firmware update.
THIS IS IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE AFTER FIRMWARE UPDATE (OR IF YOU HAVE BASIC FIRMARE VERSION) AND DON'T GET NEW MESSAGE INDICATION AND/OR NEW SMS SOUND INDICATION
Press middle button twice, go to Preferences, go to Phone and find icon with arrow - "Phone management" or something like that, then pure phone icon - "Factory settings" or something like that. Some window arrive, click OK. This is not hardcore format, you don't loose anything.
After this operation you will have "clean screen" like straight from factory, so if you haved before little "tuned" screen and overall phone (added phonebook contacts from SIM card, selected wallpaper, different profile etc.)... you know what to do - tune it again. ;PP
I tested it. On different profiles (General, Outside - one hella loud profile on 5800 speakers, better don't use it rooms where silent is needed xD), with upcoming sms when screen was active, with upcoming sms when screen was locked - indication works with the sound!
Turning on/off phone registry logging (incoming/outgoing connections, sms etc.) got nothing to do with solving this problem.
Have hope it helps someone... This is for 5800 but what I see also other Nokia models have the same problem so maybe other users find this post usefull too.

Recently started not receiving texts from one person - AT&T user, also HTC One

I recently started not receiving texts from one person. He also has an HTC One (older model) but has AT&T as his provider. We were texting back and forth last Friday morning (11/8) and then he called me and ever since then I have not received a single text he has sent. He is receiving all of mine and we can receive phone calls back and forth, but his text messages are not coming through. We have both tried restarting our phones and I have also tried deleting him as a contact and recreating it however nothing works. I checked to make sure he was not blocked (which I knew wasn't the case since I could receive phone calls from him as well), and even tried turning the "block contact" on and back off. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Right now we are using work arounds with google-talk and facebook messenger but it's very frustrated for me to not receive any of the texts that his phone is saying I am receiving.
It had started sporadically over the past few weeks where I would miss a text from him every once in awhile, but now I am receiving nothing. He is the only one that I am having this issue with as I have texted back and forth with multiple others the past few days with no issues.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi! I'm also having the same problem. I have an iphone 5 & one person (who also has an iphone 5 but has AT&T as a provider). We had been able to send & receive phone calls & texts until mid-November. Now, we can both give & receive phone calls from each other and she receives my texts, however, I DON"T receive hers. In fact, if I'm in a group text message with her, I don't receive any of the texts that include her, even though I can give/receive texts individually from the others in the group message. The other two in the group message CAN receive both her texts & mine. This is so strange - I was left out of a whole thread of text messages & none of us knew it. They thought they were including me (nothing bounced back) & I didn't know I wasn't receiving them. Since her texting works with both of the others, I'm concluding the problem must be with my phone. Do I have an incorrect setting? I'm not sure what could have happened. PLEASE help!

Not receiving texts from one number

As of Saturday, between the time of 4:00pm and 4:30, my phone decided to not receive texts from one number, which is an AT&T number. It was working before, and ever since then, it hasnt been able to receive texts from said number or send them to the number. I havent been able to get texts from the number either, and we both dont know why.
The thing is, I am getting texts perfectly fine from everyone else that I usually text.
I cant figure out if the number is blocked, because I am not the main owner of the family plan that I am on.

Hello haruharasanako,
It's strange that you are having text imessaging issues with one contact. I use text messaging all the time and I am here to help! Do you have issues sending or receiving text messages to anyone else? Can you send and receive picture messages from this contact? Are you using a 3rd party messaging app? If so, please uninstall and trying using the stock messaging app. Which device are you using? Did you make sure the account owner didn't have this number blocked? Did the contact check with AT&T to see if your number is blocked? Please answer these questions so I can resolve this issue for you.
Thanks,
