Droid auto-adding "+1" when replying to a text message
When i recieve a text from my brother, and I got to reply, it changes his number in the texting menu from (XXX)XXX-XXXX to +1XXX XXX-XXXX . This makes the number bad, because it tries to send to "+1XXXXXXXXXX". So I have to delete the conversation thread, delete his contact, and write a new text to him by manually typing the number in every time.
Any idea what is happening???
I'm new to Android myself and I used a program called "Contacts Cleanup" to fix up all my G-contact numbers. This put the country code +1 in front of all my contact numbers and I found I could not text out to them. I have no idea if the reply uses the number provided by the other phone or your contacts, but I thought I'd offer almost no help rather than none

My iPhone is skipping back to the start of a song every time I unlock it, especially when I am replying to a text message, this is very frustrating and just want to know if it is a simple bug that will be dealt with in the next update?
Assuming the phone isn't jailbroken, the basic steps (as needed) are:
Restart phone (you already did this)
Reset phone
Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
See appendix B of the User Guide for details
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
If your phone is jailbroken, this is the most frequent cause of the problems you described. Restoring could permanently brick the phone.
Note that your iOS is old and the current version is 4.2.8. It's odd that it wasn't updated when your activated your phone in iTunes, being that you got it last Friday. -
Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call. So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of. Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message. Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message.Follow the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide... reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

When I send a text message I do not get any confirmation that it has been delivered. Is there any way of getting an automated message confirmation delivery and time? I was used to this with my old phone and need to know that my text message has been delivered to the recipient's phone, and when.
Thanks. So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery. Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone. It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

I have an iphone 4S why does it have a black screen instead of my background picture when I get a text message?
When you see the old number come up in the suggested choices look for a blue arrow to the right of the Contact. Tap the blue arrow and then tap Remove from Recents.

Why is it that when I send a text message, sometimes the recipient receives it twice. It doesn't happen every time.
I am having this same problem. Sometimes it sends from my phone number, sometimes it sends from my gmail. Under my messages settings it says "receive messages at 2 addresses" and when I click on that I try to remove the gmail address from there but the option to delete that email address is grayed out so I can't click on it.
I discovered this was happening because I am in a group imessage with 2 friends. They told me that for some reason the group convos were split into 2 different conversations in their message list. And we discovered it's because in one group the messages are coming from my phone number, and in the other group it is coming from my gmail address.
I don't mind RECEIVING iMessages at both my phone number and my gmail - but I want control over which one is being used when I SEND iMessages.
Any ideas??? Thanks in advance. -
When I send a text message it says delivery failed. When I resend it sends the message twice. Why am I having trouble?
Oh goodness! We want your text going through the first time, dria56. Does this happen when you're messaging someone in particular or is it every message you send? Is it a plain text or a message with more than 160 characters/graphics/pictures?

When I send a text message to someone, it also goes to my husband. Why?
When I send a text message to someone, it also goes to my husband. Why?
You are both signed ointo iMessage with the same APple ID. It is always best practice to use separate APple IDs for iCloud, iMessage & FaceTime.
If you choose to use the same Apple ID, check your Send & Recieve settings:
Settings > Messages > Send & Recieve > Make sure your husbands number is not checked on your phone (in both the You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and Start New Conversations From sections) and yours is not check on his phone. -

When I send a text message the receiving party does not know who it came from?
When I send a text message to someone they keep asking me who sent this message? Please explain what I need to change.
I am not sure what you mean.
Do you mean the From field?
You can change it by tapping it, it will give you options based on the other email accounts set up.
You can set a default account here:
Sttings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > scroll down to the Mail section & you will see Default Account. You can change that to your gmail account. -

When I send a text message, daughter's iphone records as also sending.
When I send a text message, daughter's iphone records as also sending. I have an iphone 4 and she has an iphone 5. We both recently updated to ios 7. This problem did not happen before the update.
Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and tap to clear the check mark next to your phone number on her phone and her phone number on your phone. That should stop the dual posting.

When I send a text message to my wives phone, It comes across on her ipad and not her iphone. I want it to go on the phone and not the ipad. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
BobHi Again,
I called my wife and she said that under "send and receive", my number was checked and hers wasn't and no amount of tapping on her number would check it. Also, when she uncheck mine and all the email addresses, there was no more "send and receive" window. Now what?
Thanks,
Bob
