Can't type in text message

Ever since I did the 4.4 kitkat upgrade on my phone, at random times, I am not able to type in a text message. The cursor will be in the text message body section but when I type nothing shows up. I can go into other apps on the phone and type without issue. I have to restart the phone to fix this.

Hi Melba74!
I want you to text freely w/no problems! Are you using a 3rd party messaging application, or the messaging application that came with the device? Either way, please go to your messaging application (menu/settings/manage apps) and clear cache as well as clear data.
Please also go through your messaging threads and delete any unneeded messages or full threads. Then, give it another try and keep me posted!

Offten I type a text message on my iPhone 4G and nothing happends when I press send. The send button will not function. I can receive text and my wife's pnone iPhone 4g can send but I can not. Any suggestions as to a fix?

What in the world is an iPhone 4G? There is NONE. There is an iPhone 4, and an iPhone 4th Generation, but there is NO iPhone 4G.
Anyways, what it sounds like is that you've got the MMS subject line on, and if this is the case, then you've been typing into the subject line, instead of the body of the text.
You can either type in the body of the text, instead of the subject line, or disable the subject line in the settings.
If your subject line is off, or you ARE typing in the body, then something's wrong with your iPhone.

If I have cellular capabilities turned on, can I send a text message to any type of cell phone thu iMessage?

If I have cellular capabilities turned on, can I send a text message to any type of cell phone using iMessage? Or do I need a app such as Text Plus to do this. I have a New iPad. Thanks for any info.

iMessagel is basically an online chat kinda service. It does not use a carrier service to send text message. It only does instant messages. At least on the iPad side. iPhones are given to choise of sending via iMessage and text depending on the receiver.

I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant and my mac mini. I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.

I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant from my mac mini. I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers. It keeps saying that I only have 2 devices setup, my iPad and my macbook pro. When I mess with the setting on my mac mini, it goes from saying that that is one of the devices to my macbook pro being the 2nd device. I think that something happened as a result of my using the migration assistant and now it thinks that my macbook pro and my mac mini are one and the same computer. Any ideas?

Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

Can you block a text message sender?

Not from the phone itself. Contact your carrier. In the U.S., all the major carriers offer some type of blocking for calls and text.

We are suffering very similar issues when communicating from my iphone to a friend who has both iphone and iPad enabled.
As long as I reply to an existing text chain, then it is visible on the target iphone. If I SMS the phone number, it gets routed to the IPAD!! And NO, I should not have to disable imessage when I want to send an SMS!!

Why can I no longer text message on the larger format by turning my phone?

Why can I no longer text message on the larger format by turning my phone on its side?

Hi,
Since iChat 6 the SMS option in the Menus has disappeared.
However if you add the number to a Buddy List as if it were Screen Name but with the leading +1 (as in +1234567890) it will work over AIM.
It only works to US phones on some Carriers.

Is there any way I can download my received text messages to my computer

I have a BB 8830 World Edition. Is they any way I can download my received text messages to my computer. If so, how? Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To backup/store your messages use Blackberry Desktop Manager software.
Connect your device to the PC.
Run the Blackberry Desktop Manager
Select "Backup and Restore" icon on the application window
Click on "Advanced" button and select the information that has to be stored.
When backup completes - there is a *.ipd file on your computer created. It contains all necessary information.
Later you can write information from this file to the blackberry device with the same mechanism.
For now there is no such a standard application to read stored messages on PC Computer.
Try to find third-party applications for that purpose.

How can I edit a text message feed

I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.4 and I can't edit my text message feed. How can I do that?

You can only delete messages frmo a text-message conversation - not edit them . Under iOS 7, you'd need to long-tap on a single message then tap "More...". You will now be able to select multiple messages in a thread and delete them.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say it's probably user error.

Screen icons are huge. I can't read my text messages and the whole screen page won't display. How do I restore the phone screen to it's natural setting?

Is there any way i can recieve my sons text messages on my phone

i have a 14 year old son is there any way i can recieve the same text messages on my phone as he gets

I see no reason to think this would not be legal.
Your son is not old enough to enter into a cell phone agreement with Verizon, so I assume YOU are the account owner. There is no law keeping you from putting an app on YOUR phone to track the texting history from YOUR phone. Whether or not he will be able to notice this app running in the background and disabling it is another matter entirely.
If you are unable to find/use an app for such a task, then what mdram4x4's suggestion is the only way. Of course, if your son only has a basic phone, the chance for an app which would do this is not very likely.
