G3 doesn't send/recieve texts when they're sent.

Usually takes a few hours before I can send/recieve. went into store and the man said it was a problem with my network submode, said i was on global, and fixed it. 30 minutes later it's still says sending... texts without any change. What should i do? i tried a hard re-set and it didn't turn off.

Someone on another forum said they had a similar problem where he/she couldn't send or receive texts suddenly (even though it worked before). He/she found that disabling the Verizon messaging app (even though he/she wasn't using it), and then restarting the phone fixed the issue. Give what's in the post linked below a try, and see if it fixes your text problem.

Along with that I recommend you try switching back to global. Many people have stated that MMS sends faster when set to global over the other options. Additionally others have said having global set leads to less time that the phone is searching for signals. A person in Texas reported when set to LTE/CDMA his/her phone would search for a signal for up to 2 minutes when switching between towers, but when it was set to global it took 10-15 seconds in those same areas.

  • My brand new iphone 5 cuts out during calls all the time, doesn't send mt text messages and then when it does it sends them twice?! why?? is it just apple or my network provider? bearing in mind my iphone 4 did exactly the same, so its a new handset   sim

    Hi,
    i have just updated my iphone 4 16gb to an iphone 5 16gb
    The iphone 4 had horrific problems, for example: Cutting out on calls, it going silent, me not being able to hear the person i was speaking to and them being able to hear me, and then visa vera.. also the main button at the bottom started to break.. my text messages weren't sending and then when they did they would send several of the same one.. also with mixed messages in them.. some of the texts had been form ages ago and had been deleted anyway and bits of them would re appear in the middle of the text, but only show to the person recieveing the text.
    I thought all of this might have been some water damage as i had nearly had it for 2 years... However on Tuesday.. ( 29th Jan) i recieved my new upgrade of the iphone 5.. i was so excited, but then today.. 2 days after recieving it, its starting to do EXACTLY the same things my old phone did... cutting me off, going quiet on the phone, not sending texts, then sending several ones... sending mixed texts. Safe to say i am fuming!!! i am with vodafone and rang them today asking why?! they said it couldnt be my handset as its a new one, couldnt be the sim because thats new too so it must be the area signal.. so she checked for me.. came back to me and said that the signal in my area is perfectly fine....?!?!?! that makes it even worse!!! so i have asked to return it....!! i was going to go with a different provider thinking that it was vodafone??but after looking on here it seems like its apple? i am very disappointed as i love everything else about the phone, but its impossible to have a phone like this! especially when i use it for work too!

    My wife is having the same problems as a reciever. She works in a school as a teaching assistant and her teacher sends messages that are mixed with previous texts from ages ago.
    Can anyone shed some light on this problem or is it only her and this poster?

    I got a phone call and it ignored the call and sent a text message to that person "On my way can't talk right now"
    What the ****? I didnt ask it to do that. invasion of my proivacy ****** ********

    Instead of Ignore, you must have touched the button for Message. That will send a message from the phone, depending on what you have set. Check the User Guide for a better explanation. http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

  • Photos get scrambled by time when they are sent to Photowell

    When I download photos from the camera they are in date and time order however when they get sent to the "Photowell" (which happens automatically after you restart the software) the photos are not ordered in accordance with the time. I have the software set to display newest photos first and yet they are not order newest first in terms of time. For example, Dec. 26 8:44 am, Dec. 25 9:30 am, Dec. 25 9:52 am, Dec. 25 5:15 pm. I would love to be able to sort the photos by the time stamp. Is there a way to do this? I tried selecting everything in the Photowell and choosing File/Update Thumbnails but this did not work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    David

    In Photoshop Elements 7.0, we have this option. Not sure about earlier versions.
    1. In Organizer, Go to Edit -> Preferences.
    2. Select Show Newest First within Each Day Radio button.
    3. Click OK.
    This will solve the problem.
    Thanks.

  • Casio Brigade problems!!  Won't send/recieve text or voicemail; freezing up, can't delete inbox?

    I have had this Casio Brigade only about 2 months now; up until recently I was in love with it.   I'm hoping somebody has a suggestion here- I was on the phone with Verizon for an hour this afternoon to no avail, they're supposed to get back to me in a few days once they "investigate" the issue.  I really don't want a refurbished replacement....I want to fix THIS phone since it's still brand-new!  If it's possible, anyway....please help! 
    SO- the phone is still making & recieving calls beautifully.  But suddenly over the last few days, it isn't delivering my voicemails AND I'm unable to send or recieve plain text messages.  Not even to myself.  Phone just says "Sending Message" for eternity- I left it sitting for 2 hours once & it never came up with an error screen.  It only cancels the message when I hit End. 
    I can SEND picture messages amazingly enough, but *cannot* recieve them....and when I send one, the phone auto-saves it, then freezes up on the "Message Saved" screen.   I have to pry off the battery cover & take out the battery to re-boot it.   It did this a couple of isolated times over the last 3 weeks or so....but always worked fine again when I re-booted it.   Not so anymore. 
    I attempted to delete my inbox & sent message folders in case it was a low memory issue.  At the time I had my text messages set to "view by thread" instead of view by time.  I manually deleted my threads one by one; but they still showed up in my inbox & I could still open and read them.  I then tried the "delete all" option.....and it said I didn't have any messages to delete!   THEN I changed the view to show each individual message according to the time it was recieved.  NOW I can't even OPEN my Inbox or Sent folders at all.   Click on 'em all day long and it does nothing.  If I go back to "thread" everything's still there same as it was before. 
    I've shut the phone down & removed the battery numerous times.   I did a software update last night.  I updated my roaming preferences this afternoon at the direction of the nice Verizon lady.  She tried to do whatever it is they do on their end to troubleshoot this issue too.  Nothing worked.   I don't think it's a network issue in my area because my husband's phone was recieveing messages all weekend long while mine wasn't. 
    Any ideas?  Some kind of reset maybe?
    Has anyone else had this issue with the Brigade, I wonder...or did I possibly do something wrong??  I can't find anything about it ANYWHERE online....all I found is the "re-boot cycle" glitch that'd happen during texting, when the phone first came out.  Mine has never done that, but it'd be preferable to what it's doing now!
    Thanks in advance for ANY information!

    this is pretty much my exact same story. it just happened to me when i woke up. the previous day i had kind of been annoyed at my phone, because i was texting a bunch of people but my phone simply refused to save my sent text messages, regardless of my settings. i shrugged it off as nothing. i woke up this morning with a bunch of unread texts, could read them perfectly fine...(although i was half asleep..i wish i paid attention to what they had said.)
    i decided to send a picture message to my email, but of course my phone freezes up. like the original poster, my phone also would occasionally freeze up while sending a text but it was nothing that taking out the battery and replacing it wouldn't solve.
    so this time, when i turn it on, i can't open any of my texts. i can't send any texts. i cant delete my texts. i can only call and use the internet/mobile messenger services. and its really upsetting me because... my social life is in texting! hahaa...seriously.
    when i go through my inbox, itll show a bunch of my recently texted people(like orginal poster, i can only view as people grouped into threads, or i cant open my inbox at all) , then a couple of my texts sent from extreme numbers...numbers that dont exist. IE; 86059, 95, 609, even foreign characters like the copyright sign.
    i personally have no clue what i did either...
    all ive been doing is using the phone. i noticed that the first change, (when i could no longer save messages i sent) began happening after one of the times i had to take out the battery cause my phone froze during a picure message...maybe that has something to do with it.
    but im steammmedd dude! i hope theres something i can do to fix it without sending it away...

  • Help! New iphone 3g not sending/recieving text messages or email!!!

    Hey guys. I just got myself a 3g iphone today and im already havin issues with it. I updated to 3.1.2 right off the bat.
    Well it seems that i can send email, but that seems to be about it. I can not send or recieve text messages. I can recieve email, but it will not notify me when I get a new email. The only way i can find out if i have a new email is by opening the mailbox and waiting for it to refresh.
    Isnt this thing suposed to push my emails and notify me as soon as they are sent? How do i get this and my text messaging working? This is so disapointing since my wife just got a $10 phone that worked flawlesly right out of the box.
    thanks all,
    ---Joe

    First off, Reset your iPhone. Hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the off slider, wait for the Apple logo to appear then let the buttons go. After it resets try to send a text message again. If it does not work there is probably an issue with your carrier and you will have to contact them.
    As far as mail, do you have a MobileMe, Yahoo push, GMail push, or Exchange mail account? Because these are the only ones that will Push your mail to the iPhone. If you do have one of these make sure Push is turned on in the Mail settings. If you don't have one of these you can go to the Mail settings and specifying a mail Fetch period.

  • Anyone know why I don't get text messages on my ipad when they are coming from a cell phone but I will when they are sent from an ipad.

    I am not getting text messages on my ipad when people are sending them from a cell phone but I do when they send them from an ipad, anyone know how to fix this???

    There are no carrier supported texting plans for Ipads.
    Imessage uses Apple servers and only supports ios devices.

  • Why doesn't Send a Text Function work??

    Send a Text function under MyVerison doesn't work . . . .   URL doesn't exist, according to the error message.  What gives??????

    That is very strange indeed, drnick48z! I just tried it by sending a text to myself and it worked great. Sometimes, the service experiences issues if the browser you're using is unable to support it. If you're still unable to use this service, please let me know. I can help!

  • IPhone5 doesn't send 1st text as iMessage

    Every time I send a new text to someone, it is sent as regular SMS instead of iMessage. Once the they respond, then and only then are my texts sent as iMessages.
    Thanks

    Additionally, I send these texts to people I know have an iPhone5 and have iMessage turned on

  • If I send a text during a time restriction, will my phone re-send the text when the time restriction is over?

    In the family share program, I put a time restraint on my phone so that I couldn't use it during a certain period of time. If I attempt to send a text message during that time, the message won't be sent. But when the time restriction is ended and my phone is unlocked, will that message automatically try again? Or will I have to write and send a new message?

        That is a great question lsellnow! Messages are not save for later delivery. You will have to rewrite your message when the line is not under any restriction.

  • My texts say they are sent to an android phone, but the android does not receive them for hours, or even at all.

    So, recently my texts are not being received by an android phone. It says they are sent on my phone, but the android phone does not get them for hours or even at all. When they do come through, they come in random order. It is really aggravating and I do not know how to fix it at all. I have reset my phone multiple, updated it, I have tried everything. Any thoughts?

    Contact your carrier. There are no settings on the iPhone regarding SMS. SMS is a carrier function. Have the carrier check to make sure that your account is provisioned correctly.
