Firmware Upgrade - OLD Text Messages/Photos Appearing BEFORE I Text

I recently went through the Thunderbolt Firmware Upgrade. All is well EXCEPT when I go to answer a text message. BEFORE I start typing, old messages and photos that I had sent to a totally different recipient months ago, are already entered into the response text box. I have to back out (back space) to get rid of text or I have to delete an arbitrary photo which was AUTOMAGICALLY inserted for me!
Not only does this waste my time, it can be very confusing! I could also inadvertently send private photos or private texts which were meant and sent to someone else MONTHS ago, to someone they were never intended for....!
Anyone else have their text messaging being hijacked by the operating system since the recent firmware upgrade??
Not sure who is responsible for the fix on this but, from what I see on this forum, I am lucky by comparison, to the other issues being experienced by those who updated their firmware (2/11/2013) when Verizon forced it onto us.
THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED! Does no one BETA TEST these upgrades before they are forced upon us?

    Hi Loonlady!
I understand your concern w/your messaging! I use messaging all the time and would not be happy either. I have some troubleshooting steps for you. Please give it a try and keep me posted:
Wipe Cache Partition
Before booting into Recovery, ensure that fast boot has been turned off:
1. Tap Menu
2. Tap Settings
3. Tap Power
4. Uncheck the box for Fast boot.
Once fast boot has been turned off, reboot into Recovery to wipe cache partition:
1. Power off the device
2. While holding down the Volume Down button, press the Power button. The device will boot into the bootloader which is a white screen with 3 Androids at the bottom screen.
3. Using the Volume Down button, select RECOVERY
4. Press the Power button to select the option. Device will reboot into a black screen with a red exclamation mark in a red triangle atop a device.
5. Press Volume Up and Power button to get into the Recovery menu.
6. Using Volume Down button, highlight the Wipe cache partition option.
NOTE: Be sure that Wipe cache partition is highlighted. Do not choose Wipe data/factory reset as this will result in loss of data!
7. Press the Power button to select the option
8. When the process, is complete, ensure that Reboot system now option is highlighted.
9. Press the Power button to select the option and reboot the device into the OS.

    Phone not loading text message photos, last 2 days only, nothing has changed in settings

    Wifi won't help in this case. It needs to be cellular data. iCloud has nothing to do with this.
    First, try quitting the Messages app entirely by double tapping the Home button, tapping and hold the Messages icon in the Recents tray and then tapping the red "minus" sign. See if that helps. Try resetting your phone by pressing and holding the Home and power buttons at the same time until the silver apple appears. Try contacting your carrier and making sure that your account is properly provisioned for MMS (unlikely to be the problem but, well, who knows).

    I'm going to be out of the country for a few weeks.  I have an iPhone 4s.  Can I put an unavailable message as a response to text messages so people who are texting me will know that I am unavailable and for how long?

    No. Sorry. Check with your carrier. Perhaps they offer such a service.

  • Since installing iOS 8, why do I receive new text message alerts when I send text messages?

    Sonds like you guys are sharing the same apple id.  Go to settings - message - send and receive and make sure your phone number is the default for both phones.

    Try this:
    On all impacted devices, go to settings, messages, send & receive and place a checkmark next to only those phone numbers and email addresses listed you want that device to recognize.
    Good luck!

  • My text messages are deleting before I can read them

    My text messages delete before I can read them. I can see that someone attempted to text my phone but the message isn't there. Anyone else have this issue?

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • How to recover text messages that appear in the spotlight search ?

    Hi,
    I've somehow lost all my text messages, but they still appear in the spotlight search. Does anyone know how to recover them ? Any help will be much appreciated since I really need most of those texts. Thank you.

    First of all, it is possible to recover iMessage from the iPhone 5s. If you have turned on "iCloud Backup" before, all messages would be synced to the cloud automatically. You can follow the official guide for more details:
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    Or you can restore data from the latest iTunes backup to your iPhone, maybe the texts that you want are there

  • Suddenly all incoming Text messages only appear on my home screen and disappear when opened, What happened?

    Two days ago all my text messages became scrambled. I get notified when a new message appears on my locked home screen, but when I open them up, they disappear until I answer the thread. Unfortunately, I can't read the entire message when it is on the locked home screen. When I reply, other texts are mixed in under the person's thread I am trying to answer. I deleted all old texts in hope that this would resolve itself, but it became worse! I have not changed any setting. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!

    Same thing is happening to me whethere the texts are received on the imessage or other text message apps. The message is showing on the lock screen halfway and when I try to pull it it is not here. This is happening since IOS 7. Is there still a glitch??

  • How do I restore deleted text message photo attachments?

    I deleted a group of text messages with attached photos by mistake from my iPhone 5. After doing a restore from my most recent backup, the text messages are restored, but many of the photos only show a file name. The files are primarily jpegs along with a few .png and .mov. Should I try to do another backup and restore or is there another way to get back the missing photos?

    As we know, every time you sync iDevice with iTunes, it will automatically make a backup of your iDevice contents including photos, SMS, reminders, contacts and more. Therefore, as long as you have ever synced your iPhone with iTunes, you can recover deleted text messages from iPhone. Do not connect your iPhone to iTunes again until the messages are recovered with iPhone Data Recovery. Otherwise, the old backup file will be overwritten by the current content on your iPhone. Once it happens, the deleted messages will be gone forever.

  • Can text messages be deleted before they are read?

    After writing a text message to several recipients I realized I had the wrong date on it.  Since none of the messages have been read yet, am I able to delete the entire text message?

    Once you tap "send" they are confined to the ether and you cannot get them back.  What I often do is not fill in the "to" field in my messages and emails until I am satisfied that the message is correct. After that I fill that field and that way I cannot accidentally send the message before I am ready.  Sometimes I compose a message/email and wait until the next day and review and decide whether I still want to send.... sometimes I decide not to send.

  • Group text messages not appearing in messages

    I am receiving all one to one text messages on my iPhone and Macbook, but group strings are not appearing on my macbook pro.  Am I missing something?  I've deleted existing threads from phone, power cycled, and still no joy.

    Hi,
    I too have the same annoying issue. I have to continuously take out the battery and restart my Q10 in order for my text messages, facebook, and email notifications to come in. This is my second Q10 now as the first one started freezing when I tried sending emails so I thought the Hub problem was related to a faulty phone but now that I have my second one, the same problems are happening (except for the freezing of the phone). It is incredibly frustrating that a phone in this price range has such a basic fault when the main purpose of a mobile phone is to receive phone calls, text messages, and emails!!
    I have also found that I have multiple contact details for the same person and that if I try to call someone's mobile that begins with 04 (Australian mobiles) I get told I can't call that number, but if I call a mobile with +61 (Australian country code) I get through to them! The phone also wont save contact details of people who only have a landlines number.
    I have been with Blackberry for 6 years now and this is my 4th BB phone. I have always been a staunch advocate of the Blackberry until now. These software issues should not be happening in a high end phone.
    Blackberry, please create a fix for these basic issues as soon as possible.
    I have a Blackberry Q10; OS version 10.1.0.1910; Build 517312; and Software Update 10.1.0.314
    Many thanks
