Factory unlocked iPhone 4S ios 5.1.1 emoji is not working under some circumstances

I have a factory unlocked iPhone 4S
I have a $50 monthly 4g plan on tmobile but I doubt that is relevant
I am running iOS 5.1.1
Whenever I send emojis to other iPhones my recipients cannot see them unless it is on iMessage.
Even on the Facebook app, I can see emojis that friends send me in messages but when I reply with an emoji via facebook it says "message cannot be delivered at this time"
However one single emoji does work on Facebook and it is the red heart
Can someone help me fix this or at least tell me why it won't work?
I can see emojis fine but for some reason I can't send them. Not even on facebook

T-mobile is not a supported carrier of iphones and not all functions will work. this is probably the reason emojis will not work. Switch to At&T

I have a factory unlocked iphone 4s ios 5.1 and let me know if I can upgrade to ios 6?

I have a factory unlocked iphone 4s ios 5.1 and let me know if I can upgrade to ios 6?

The conclusion I have arrived at during the limited time I have been reading indicate that there is a growing number of people complaining about the iOS 6 upgrade. According to Apple tech support they currently have no fix for any of the issues and they indicated that there are a large amount of calls coming in.

Factory unlocked iPhone 3G, iOS 4 support tethering?

Some of us knows that during the 3.1.2 all iPhone Factory unlocked phone had their tethering disabled. and only when 3.1.3 came out, we got back our tethering option for Factory unlocked iPhones.
will tethering be available for iPhone Factory unlocked after iOS 4 update?
Thank you in advance

Allan
Your advice is about all I can think of doing. I have a friend in Milan that the phone can be sent back to. I have a funny feeling that when I get the phone back I'll have the same issues.....
I can get a antenna replaced here in the UK for about GBP60....but that would invalidate the warranty.
What is a lingering doubt over it being a hardware issue is why would it work perfectly with one contry's SIM and not anothers ?

Factory Unlocked iPhone 3Gs upgraded to 4.2.1 no longer working with SIMs

I think this is an ios 4.2.1 glitch.
I purchased a facotry unlocked iPhone when I was in Jordan because I travel a great deal for work and needed a phone that I could use with many SIM cards. When I set it up the first time, and several times after that when I upgraded the ios iTunes would connect to Apple and welcome me to my apple unlocked phone. For more than a year I have been able to use it will all of my SIM cards.
The last time I upgraded to ios 4.2.1 iTunes did not connect to Apple to confirm my unlocked phone. Additionally my phone will only become activated when I install my Iraqna SIM chip. It won't work with any other SIM.
I have a No Service message on my phone and while it lists all of the SIM information - when I go to General - About - Network I get a message saying 'phone not allowed' for every SIM except my Iraqna.
I tried to restore my phone to the previous ios but couldn't because of the upgraded firmware.
I tried to restore my phone and set it up and a new phone.
I am traveling at the moment and cannot afford to use my hotel phone to be put on hold while waiting to speak to a service representative. I depend on my phone and have been resisting buying a cheap Nokia or an expensive Smartphone to replace my very loved iPhone 3gs.
I also really don't want to have to illegally break into my factory unlocked phone just so that I can use it as a phone.
Please Help.

Hi sn4p2k.
I take it that you have not heard of this problem and therefore don't have an answer.
I am not living in America at the moment.
Apple most definitely provides factory unlocked phones outside of America. I paid $1000 for this one from an Apple authorized reseller in Amman and it worked perfectly with Apple and iTunes through several ios upgrades for more than a year.
My phone is not tied to a carrier - that is what factory unlocked means.
I upgraded my ios and now I can't use my phone.
If anyone out there has had this problem and has a suggestion or a solution I would be very grateful if you could tell me what it is.
Thank you.

IPhone 5 iOS 6.0.2 timer clock not working

I have problem with my timer. If it's less than an hour, it's fine. If more than an hour something not right. It doesn't even move. When I set 1:45:00 it shows as h:1:44:a
And is battery drainage going to be fix on the next iOS? My battery drain fast!!

I am having this exact same problem but on my iPhone 4S on iOS 6.0.1
I believe that this error began to occur since the new year as I did not have any problem prior, in 2012.
I have also noticed that this occurs on the stopwatch as well when it goes above 1 hour.
Is there a solution for this?

PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S. Please I need help to continue believing in Apple. Thanks a lot. If anybody speak spanish better.

Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller? Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones. The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
Try these steps, as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

Upgrading to IOS 5 will lock factory unlocked iphone 4 or not??

I have an Iphone 4 with ios 4.3.3 bb 4.10.01 and its factory unlocked. If I upgrade it to a new Ios 5, will I loose my unlock??
I know that factory unlocked iphones dont loose unlock if they are upgraded but I heard that IOS 5 will lock the factory unlocked also.

You heard wrong. IF the device is officially unlocked by Apple, it will not be relocked. IF it was hacked to be unlocked, upgrading iOS WILL relock the device to the original carrier.

I bought a factory unlocked iphone 4s. it was working fine but when i upgraded it to iOS 5.1 it gave me "no sim" message. so when i tried to restore the iphone setting it is giving me now "ICCID: unknown" message please help. any ideas?

so i tried then to restore the iphone using itunes but it got worse it is giving me now "ICCID: unknown" message please help. any ideas?

Please define "factory unlocked". The term is basically meaningless. iPhones are sold either carrier locked or unlocked. Some carriers will unlock them after a period of time upon meeting certain requirements and paying a fee.
There are lots of places that will "factory unlock" an iPhone. This basically translates to "hack". This can cause permanent damage to the phone. Best case scenario is these phones will re-lock to the original carrier on an update or restore. Worst case it they become expensive bricks.
ICCID unknown indicates a critical failure. There is no way to resolve this other than taking it in to Apple and getting the phone replaced. It's very possible that the phone was hacked and attempting to update has now killed it.
Where, EXACTLY, did you get this phone?

If I update my factory unlocked iphone 4 to iOS 7, will it have to be unlocked again?

Hi, I have an iphone 4 factory unlocked running iOS 6.1.3, if I update it to iOS 7, will I have to pay to get it unlocked again or will it still be unlocked for use afterwards?

okay, but just to be safe, how can we be sure that our phone is fatory unlocked? because my cousin apparently had a factory unlocked iphone 3g and updated it iOS 6.1.3 and it got locked
Your cousins phone was therefore not, in fact, factory unlocked. An iPhone sold directly by Apple as unlocked will never lock because of an iOS update.
An iPhone unlocked by going through proper procedures and channels with the carrier to whom it was originally locked will never lock again because of an iOS update.
An iPhone hacked to unlock it (which is unlocked by ANY other means then the first two) will lock again whenever iOS is updated.
If I had to guess, I would say 90% of privately sold iPhones sold as "unlocked" are in fact merely hacked to unlock them, and WILL relock when updated.
Some iPhones sold in Europe are also sold as "SIM free" and contract free, but do in fact lock to the carrier of the first SIM inserted in them. No contract, or "SIM free" does not mean unlocked.

Date Time issue factory unlocked iphone 4s

I have a factory unlocked iphone 4s bought in Apple store US and currently in India. In Settings -> General -> Date & Time, I am setting "on" Set Automatically. After some time say 2-3 hours, the time automatically moves back by 30 minutes. In India there is no daylight savings. I am forced to set "off" for the "Set Automatically" option and then choose the timezone, time to keep it to the correct time. Anyone facing this issue ? By setting it to "Set Automatically" on, my understanding is it should sync with the mobile provider ("Airtel"). Is this a bug in iOS ?

i have same problem i also went to apple store but the can not find any problem i don't know what to do ?
i hop it's just a sofware problem

Can't activate a Factory Unlocked iPhone 4s.

I NEED HELP PLEASE!!!!
I PURCHASED A FACTORY UNLOCKED IPHONE 4S WITHIN THE US AND PAID $706 FOR IT AND WHEN I SHIPPED IT OUT INTERNATIONALLY TO MY FIANCE BACK AT HOME, SHE CONNECTED THE PHONE TO ITUNES AND SHE IS UNABLE TO ACTIVATE IT. IT DOES NOT GIVE THE MESSAGE "YOUR PHONE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY UNLOCKED" AND THEREFORE IT SAYS NO SERVICE ON THE PHONE. THE OPERATING SYSTEM ON THE PHONE IS THE iOS 5.0.1. FURTHERMORE, I GOT IN CONTACT WITH A SENIOR ADVISOR FROM APPLE AND HE TOLD US TO RESTORE THE PHONE AND THAT MIGHT HELP. SHE TRIED RESTORING THE PHONE AND NOW WE CAME ACROSS ANOTHER PROBLEM WHICH GIVES HER THE ERROR 1630. PLEASE CAN ANYBODY HELP???

First, STOP SHOUTING.
Second, you did NOT purchase an unlocked 4S in the US. The brick and mortal Apple stores do not yet have them in stock. They can only be ordered online and have not yet been readied for delivery.
What you likely purchased was a contract-free iPhone, which is NOT unlocked. Your fiancee will NOT be able to activate that phone.
