Duplicate SMS, failed SMS, etc.

Okay so now i'm having a whole new set of issues with my iphone 4. Ever since I updated to iOS 5, texts fail randomly and i have to resend them till they go through, or other people will randomly get old texts twice or three times, sometimes even more. Sometimes they get texts from yesterday again today. it's getting ridiculous and ******* everyone i know off when i'm literally not doing anything to cause this. Apple doesn't seem to have a clue why it'd do this so now i just have a case number for the issue. They had me shut off imessage, that didn't help so i decided on my own accord to do a factory restore from itunes. I'll have to see if this works. Has anyone else heard of this issue or have had similar problems? any advice would be appreciated.

"Are we being charged for these duplicate messages by AT&T?"
You would have to look on your bill to determine that. I would say that you are, and the reason I say this is because I've sent my son SMS msg's only to find out (at that particular time) that he needed to add on some mins to his "pay as you go" package, so technically he didn't receive the SMS. However I was charged for the outgoing SMS message. Like I mentioned above though, you would have to determine that on your own by looking at your bill.

  • Constantly getting Failed SMS messages inside my house.

    I have had issues with a couple cell phone making calls inside the walls of my house, but as of last week now I am getting failed SMS messages that say !Message Not Sent constantly, but yet a large chunk of them do go through. I have never had this issue previously.
    Is there anything I can do to fix this? Either with the phone, or something I should look for with the house? It's a brand new built house, so I wouldn't think it would have material in the house that stops them.

    Sounds like something changed the wireless signal strength at your home.  Did a new house get built blocking your reception from the tower?  Another structure?  Has Verizon been working on the towers in your area?  If you had a weak, marginal signal before, even the weather changing could cause problems.  I'd call Verizon and see if anything is happening to the network in your area.  They can also check to make sure your account is set up properly and that you have the latest PRL on your phone.

  • Swtiched to non-iPhone device: Failed SMS

    Dad finally kicked me off the phone plan (end of college) and I had to port my number to a different device. On my new android device, I am able to recieve messages from my friends, but they are presented with the "Failed to send" on their end and have to manually send it as SMS every time. It appears that their phone is still associating my phone with iMessage. Now, before I start, let me clarify that I have tried almost every known solution in the book:
    Unregistering my device
    Turning off imessage/facetime on old phone
    Changing password
    Changing Apple ID
    I talked to a Senior IOS advisor, and he said that my number was completley off of the server. Have you guys had any luck? I have scowered the internet for a few days now, and there doesn't seem to be a well defined answer anywhere. It appears to be a major projem with iOS 7. Thanks in advance!

    Been fighting this for over month.  Not 100% fixed yet.  Having my friends reset their network settings fixed most of the issues but I still have one lingering issue where I do not receive MMS messages from a mixed imessage/SMS recipient group.  I only have issues with my iMessage peeps.  All other platforms users  (Android, WinPhone, Blackberry, etc.) are working OK. 

  • Failed SMS restore to N900 from N95Gb

    Hello,
    I'd like to transfer 500+ SMS messages from an N95Gb to an N900.
    I used Ovi to back up the N95, then attempted to restore from that
    backup to the N900.  Ovi gave "Failed to restore" the text messages.
    This failure occurred with and without a SIM card in the N900.
    It occurred after I sent an SMS from the N900 to itself (thus creating
    any internal folders that may not have existed in my first attempt).
    Can anyone shed some light on this, and/or tell me how to xfer my
    SMS messages from old phone to new?
    Thanks,
    Seth Teller

    Wow, that is incredibly disappointing.  How could something as basic as
    texts not be preserved across platforms -- I mean, it's just ASCII !
    Suppose I can use Ovi or PC suite etc. to pull them off the N95, and
    store them as a .csv or other generic format file on my PC.  Suppose
    further than I can move that .csv file to the N900.  Would there then be
    a way under Maemo to reconstitute the texts onto the new phone?
    (By the way, writing "why would you want to keep so many [texts],"  as
    someone did above, sounds a lot like blaming the user for doing
    something reasonable...)
    not blaming anything on the user.  to each his own.
    in its current state there is not a way.   now that does not go to say that some uber linux/unix coder cannot figure out some mapping code to make it at least plausable.  

  • After upgrade to iOS6 my iPhone deletes sms-tickets, notifications etc.

    After updating my iPhone to iOS 6 all my old tickets and other "notifications" I got as SMS was deleted when I tried to re-open them. Why?
    Will the phone be able to receive and keep new SMS-tickets/notifications? This is a vital functionality since I only use SMS-tickets/notifications when traveling or getting a reminder from e.g. the postoffice that I have a package to collect etc.

    Mine works fine. You might want to try a restore on the phone.

  • Sms failed...then?

    I was sending sms to a mobile phone but the last one was failed. Is it going to be delivered later or i have to send it again? for instance skape will try to send it again or it is just failed and lost? Thanks

    When you send a text from Skype, a Sent status will appear next to the text message in the main chat area, which will usually change to Delivered when the text has been delivered. A text can remain Sent for up to 24 hours and during this time delivery of your text will be reattempted periodically. If after 24 hours the text still cannot be delivered, the status will change from Sent to Failed. Once failed, then you d have to go and send a new one.

  • SMS failed

    My current skype version is 6.3.0.105.  I have sufficient credit, and have been using skype to sms various mobiles for several years.
    Since past few months, any sms I send is not getting delivered.  Skype gives "Failed Try again".  In some cases, I tried again, with no luck.
    It seems that this is a problem faced by many Skype users.  What is the solution please?

    There are just so many variables to consider ...
    If none of the information in this library of FAQ articles related to SMS prove helpful, please report SMS issues to Skype Customer Service.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    Here are a few extra notes to guide you along the way ...
    You will need to proceed through each step, one at a time. Sign on to the Skype website as requested. Choose the subject and topic which most closely matches the item you need assistance with. Then, continue past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the blue "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip through Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started. When you complete the web-form and click Submit, your information is relayed to Skype and you will receive a reply via e-mail unless you are transferred to start an instant message chat session with a Customer Service agent.
    If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser.  Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent.  If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.

  • Horizontal screen input for sms and email etc

    Is there any 'mail' of future versions of the OS providing for horizontal screens, and therefore horizontal keyboard for the likes of sms, notes and email? I love all of the functionality of the phone, however with fat thumbs input on the 'portrait' screen is slower than mechanical keys (for me anyway). Input in safari for example with the larger keyboard is great!

    You could try using the free application "Firemail". It is a separate application and does not integrate with mobile mail. However, after typing using landscape mode it allows for the content to be transferred directly to the mobile mail application.

  • Duplicate contact on sms app

  • SMS Fail, Call Fail, or phone?

    Hi,
    I've been experiencing some sms and call failure in the last few months. My iPhone 3Gs (with updated software) is still new - not even a year old and I have great reception. However, I get times where i can't call anyone - e.g. i press enter a phone number or a number from my contacts list and phone ringing sound doesn't sound or will sound after a few mins, and I get a failure to send sms's as well...
    I've fixed it a few times with just turning the phone on and off. but it drains alot of power when i do that.
    I was just wondering if anyone else have the same experience and there is a solution... I just hope there isn't anything wrong with my phone...
    meiii

    Have you removed the sim and reset it?

  • Iphone 3g SMS failing

    Every time I use music on my phone and then try send or recieve texts/calls my phone does not work, I then have to turn it on and off for texts to work.
    Can anyone help or does it just need updating?

    That error normally means the phone has been jailbroken or the baseband has been replaced with an iPad baseband to unlock the phone. It can also mean that you don't have the most recent version of iTunes. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1015

  • Why do my home screen messages keep disappearing (SMS, missed calls, etc.)?

    My messages, all others beside e-mail, because I haven't even set it up, just keep disappearing.  I have the home screen theme that shows messages, calendar, call log and applications.  The messages section shows me when I have a missed call or a text or anything like that....but for some reason, I go back to my phone and I can't see who has called or texted.  The home screen messages section is empty, and if I select it and go to my messages app., there are only 3 listed and 2 are from Blackberry on Apr. 25 and Jul. 30, and only one shows up from my boss on Aug. 5.  The only reason I can even imagine that still shows up is because she too has a blackberry.  I don't know, but, it's really starting to aggravate the crap out of me.  Anyone know how to help?
    I've gone to messages General Options and made sure that all calls are sent to messages and the call log.
    Oh, yeah!  The Call Log doesn't hold anything either.  It's ridiculous!
    Please help because I like this phone, but, it's not doing its job to the fullest, and that's disappointing.
    Solved!

    this has been asked before and solved.. you have a memory issue.. you need to have at least 12 mb of free space for the phone to operate smothly.. if you havent got one yet get a memory card and move your pics and videos to memory card. along with any downloaded ringtones.. to find out what your file free status is click on options --> status and see what your file free is..another thing that might help is do a battery pull then do above step.. also make sure you dont have any internet programs running in background IE: weatherbug.. cause it continuously downloads data.. clear your browser history by going to an open browser clicking menu then options then cache and clear your history.. there are other steps to help but i cant think of any at the moment..

  • Photos in catalouge and cards, "Suspected Duplicates" - EPIC FAIL

    Scenario:  I'm out in the field filling memory cards and reviewing them on my secondary PC (laptop), marking & editing various images at night.  I do not manage to import all of the photos off of all of my cards (and can't due to disk space requirements).  I want to keep the edits and work (and images, due to running out of cards I formated some of them that I _knew_ were in the LR catalouge AND backed up onto other devices). 
    I get home to my primary PC and export the laptop catalouge and then import it, WIN.  I start importing images from cards that ARE NOT IN THE CATALOUGE, also WIN.  I put in a card that has AT LEAST _SOME_ (but not necessarily all) images in the exported catalouge.  Lightroom FAILS to notice that images that were imported FROM THE SAME CARD into the Laptop & Desktop with THE SAME CATALOUGE are duplicates!
    What I want to do is to BE SURE that all of my images are in my primary/desktop catalouge WITHOUT dupes.  I want to insert the memory card and have LR import ONLY THE ONES IT DOES NOT ALREADY have.  This seems like somehting LR should automagically support, but apparently not.  How do I accomplish what I want to do without doing something rediculous like importing everything regardless, then buying a de-duping tool, deleting the duplicate images using file system tools, then removing the not found images manually from LR?
    I DID NOT find this fourm thread to be especially helpful for me:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4843896#4843896
    Please help!

    Yes, I give custom names on import  For example, right now I'm working on importing photos from a card that has early images (i.e. the compact flash file
    H:\NIKON D800\DCIM\101ND800\_PL81846.NEF
    ).  I did not alter the memory card in any way (unless importing the images to LR on the laptop somehow altered them).
    After importing the exported catalouge, my PC has
    D:\Users\liels\My Pictures\Source Pictures\2013\01\06\20130106-Bosque-del-Apache-_PL81846.nef
    But
    H:\NIKON D800\DCIM\101ND800\_PL81846.NEF
    still shows up as non-dupe.  This is different than if I import
    H:\NIKON D800\DCIM\101ND800\_PL81846.NEF
    with the Desktop creating
    D:\Users\liels\My Pictures\Source Pictures\2013\01\06\20130106-Bosque-del-Apache-_PL81846.nef
    and then insert the memory card.  In that case the "suspected duplicates" correctly identifies that
    H:\NIKON D800\DCIM\101ND800\_PL81846.NEF
    is a duplicate of
    D:\Users\liels\My Pictures\Source Pictures\2013\01\06\20130106-Bosque-del-Apache-_PL81846.nef 
    But that DOES NOT happen when
    D:\Users\liels\My Pictures\Source Pictures\2013\01\06\20130106-Bosque-del-Apache-_PL81846.nef
    is created as a result of importing an exported catalouge, even though the source for the image is the very same card, e.g.
    H:\NIKON D800\DCIM\101ND800\_PL81846.NEF.
    I can, in fact import the image with the EXACT SAME renaming scheme & keywords and LR will SILENTLY(!) create
    D:\Users\liels\My Pictures\Source Pictures\2013\01\06\20130106-Bosque-del-Apache-_PL81846-2.nef
    not bothering to ask me if that is what I want or not (my naming scheme DOES NOT ask for ZZZ-FILENAME-X, but it creates it silently anyway)
