Delays in messages being received

My Samsung Alpha is so delayed in receiving texts. I receive the replies hours after they have been sent even if my signal is at full.

Hi
Welcome to the Community!
Have you tried clearing your messages inbox then rebooting your device?
Also are you on the latest software/firmware?
Thanks.

Text messages being receive twice by some recipients

Text messages being receive twice by some recipients:
I have had a couple of contacts tell me they are receiving text messages I send from the Z10 twice.
Not everyone thou. I've asked. I'm sending from Rogers to a Rogers user. They both have 9700's.
Any ideas?

Just to be clear, while you have to use an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime, you should not be using that e-mail address to receive at or send from since you're using your father's ID. Later in your post it sounds like you de-selected e-mail addresses that were not yours, which is correct, but I wanted to make sure you understand that you should not be using this ID for a contact point since it is not yours.
If your father is still getting your text messages from your friends, I suspect that either:
(a) after making these changes you need to turn iMessage and FaceTime off for a brief period, then turn back on, or
(b) your friends are replying to older messages that you sent from your father's Apple ID, or
(c) your father's iPhone somehow has your e-mail entered as one of the possible contact points for his iPhone.
If the cause is (a) turn iMessage and FaceTime back on since you've already turned them off.
If the cause is (b) see the last paragraph of my 1st post. Send your friends a new iMessage and tell them to only reply to that conversation and delete prior conversations.
If the cause is (b) have your father de-select (or remove) your e-mail address from his iMessage and FaceTime settings.

I messages being received from a different numner

When i send a message to a friend who has an i phone they receive the message from a different number how can i stop this? as they are replying to this number and i am not receiving their messages.

More than likely someone sent you an iMessage addressed to your Apple ID email address that is also registered with iMessage on your iPhone in addition to your cell phone number. The cell phone number is registered with the Apple ID email address when activating iMessage on an iPhone.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
Under You Can Be Reached By iMessage At, deselect your Apple ID email address.
Under Start New Conversations From, make sure your cell phone number is selected.

Why are text messages being received as gmail addresses?

In the last week, I began receiving text messages from my friends that are being sent from their "gmail" address. Therefore, it seems to replace the other contact that I had in the phone. Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you

This has worked for many to solve this problem:
Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom. Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
Wait a 3-5 minutes.
Open the Message App to see if they're fixed.

Why are some of my iMessage text messages being received sporadically by my father

I've searched high and low, but couldn't find any information regarding this particular issue, so if you know of a link in the discussions please show me. Today my father received 2 texts from 2 seperate numbers by friends of mine. This is troubling, and isn't the first time. I am using an iPhone 4 fully updated to 7.0.4. I recently noticed that I was no longer sending messages as an iMessage (blue text color) so I investigated the issue within the settings function and didn't really see any differences there with the exception of the Apple ID. I've always used my father's Apple ID and only once has this happened, the only difference was that I was receiving his messages from people in his contacts. It is also important to mention that my carrier is Verizon and that we are on a family shared account with 4 members. I don't think that any of the other members have ever received any of my texts, but then again I don't know if they are using just one Apple ID (I think they have there own personal IDs). So it comes to this, do I need my own personal Apple ID? If that is the case why do they offer the option of selecting what numbers or email addresses to choose to have my texts sent to? Also in order for me to open an Apple ID I must be the owner of a credit card which I do not use nor do I have, not even a debit/credit card. Anyway, that's it. I don't need my personal life spilled into my father's life, we all have enough problems of our own! Ciao and thanks for any and all help.

Mail showing more messages being received than are received

I have been having something odd happen lately. When I open Mail, it shows incoming messages, just a bit ago it was 12, but nothing appeared in my inbox. Occasionally I catch subjects in the status bar, but it is too quick to see. I also have an iPhone that I receive mail on, et even if I have read 1 or 2 messages on my phone, then open mail, it still pulls like 6. I do not have A spam filter turned on, I tried turning it on but nothing appeared and it seems like I get all my mail, but I am curious about this issue, is anyone else seeing it?

Hi all,
I finally solved my problem and felt like I should share my experience. The idea of changing the sorting/listing settings of Mail.app was indeed a good option. Unfortunately, it doesn't solve the issue on my iPhone or any other device/application accessing my data. Besides that, I didn't feel comfortable with this solution, since it didn't really fix my problem.
So here is what I did. I downloaded Mozilla's Thunderbird and set up my MobileMe account. After successfully retrieving all IMAP data I saved a copy of my complete IMAP folder structure locally. Afterwards I checked if I really had all messages and folders and deleted my data on MobileMe. Next step was uploading all my local messages/folders back to MobileMe again. I had about 3,5GB to transfer and it took me almost a night to finish this process.
After successfully transferring the data, I opened Mail.app and my all other devices/applications accessing that particular MobileMe account and had everything re-synchronized and Voilà Thunderbird transferred the messages with the received date correctly and Mail.app and other devices/applications displayed and sorted it accordingly. I deleted Thunderbird's email client and its associated files and folders, but I guess that application should be a keeper anyway.
So far I had the impression that this was all caused, because I transferred my local saved messages/folders to MobileMe through Microsoft Entourage. That application transmitted the date I transferred the message instead of using the message's header date settings.
I hope this helped.
Cheers!

TS2755 duplicate text messages being received on 2 i-phones

Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."

My iPhone 5 delays texts being received for an hour and sometimes days at a time. What can I do to fix that?

So I have had the iPhone 5 since the day it came out in September. I have noticed, randomly, it will delay texts from individuals and in group messages. It has delayed for an hour or more, and more than once it has delayed for more than a day. I have looked at the sent message time and it says 8:52am but I am receiving it at 9:30am? Or once it kept ringing for like a minute straight as all the messages from a group message came in from two days prior, they have the date they were sent but they don't get to me until much later than needed. I have no idea why it does it either. Any help?

I am having the same problem on my iPhone 5 16gb on Verizon. I did a fresh restore from scratch twice and my messaging is extremely slow/buggy it freezes mid text, mid sending, while opening a photo received photo or sent photo in messaging app. Also I have had the phone just refuse to turn on until I wait for like 1 minute and keep trying. Another issue with the messaging app is that sometimes the messaging app will chime in as a new message is received minutes after I have already read and replied to it.
Do I have a lemon piece of hardware or is this potentially a software bug affecting more users?

Mail 2.1.3 with Comcast ISP - delayed email messages AND not receiving them

Having recent issues with Mail 2.1.3 and Comcast as my ISP. I was not receiving messages and receiving others delayed. Sending is fine, unless I get "timed out", where I have to input all of my Comcast account passwords one at a time. I've talked to Comcast and my bank (the issue is that I'm not receiving all of my bill notifications from the bank via e-mail). The bank said they sent the email. Comcast said there aren't any problems on my account, and their webmail (via a browser) shows I received the email, but it never showed up in Mail - where I check for it. (Comcast's webmail via the browser doesn't work well, because I can only view one account at a time. With Mail, I can view all email accounts at the same time.) I've tried restarting the Airport Base Station, the Comcast modem, and the iBook. So, any ideas for a fix, or is it finally time to cave in and buy a newer computer? Thanks for the help!

Hi Carron,
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

My mail messages are being received as blanks

I have been having an issue with my Mail (ver5.2) that when I send a message it usually goes through fine, but every so often (few times daily) it send the message, looks completly normal in my SENT items, but the receiver is getting the message with an empty body. So the subject heading is there but there is nothing written in the email.
It is very frustrating because I never know when this will randomly happen and people are getting annoyed with these cryptic 'blank' emails being sent from my account.
Has anyone experienced anything like this before and have advice on what to do?
Much thanks!

Messaging between Apple devices is called imessage. To correct your problem go to settings - message - send&receive - make sure your cell is the defaut. You may need to uncheck or remove the apple id.

Why do senders receive a delivery failure notice although messages are being received?

Why do senders receive a delivery failure notice although messages are being received?

What you have there is either a jailbroken unit with some crazy custom UI or an eastern knockoff. Give us some photos of the ipad itself, mainly the back and some experts can help.
If you plug it into iTunes does iTunes even acknowledge that an ipad is connected? If it does then try a restore.
Failing that, head down to an apple store and see what they can do for you.
