How to turn off threaded sms on iPhone 4?

Hi all
I get lost in the way iPhone stores the sms messages. I cannot find back to both incoming and outgoing messages since they are not stored in one linear time sequence.  The same functionality was also (by default)?) on the e-mails but happily that could be disabled.  If it is impossible to turn off threaded sms I quite frankly must buy another phone.
Hope someone out there has discovered how to disable the threaded sms functionality.
Cheers

This is not an option on the iPhone.

  • How to turn off voice control with iPhone 5s with iOS 8

    I Dropped my phone in the tub, I have an otterbox on it but it didn't do the phone any good :/. I dried it off and the home button started acting up. And now it doesnt work when i hit it. But the Touch ID still works. However randomly voice control will pop up and call random people when i don't even touch it. I tried going into restrictions > Siri and turning it off I turned off voice

    Otterbox cases are not waterproof and are not advertised to be so. For that, you need a Lifeproof case or similar.
    If you turn off Siri, Voice Control is enabled. The only way to turn off Voice Control is to turn Siri back on. Your phone has been damaged by immersion in liquid and may never work properly again. Sorry.

  • How to turn off battery percentage on iphone 4 ?

    Hi,
    Got the new iphone 4 recently. Since the initial set up the battery percentage icon is on. I tried to turn it off through settings- general-usage-battery percentage. But it still shows up. I even rebooted the phone by holding home button and power button. Still the same. How to make my phone not to show the battery percentage? Please help. I am thinking of apple store visit for this but would like to try some fixes before going there.

    I just figured it out! I just got my iPhone 4 and restored it from the backup of my once jailbroken iPhone 3G. Same problem as you guys. Was about to restore from scratch but...
    Check it out:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    You will have to change back a few of your settings but problem solved.

  • How to turn off home sharing on iphone and put all of my music in one place?

    I have the iphone 4 with ios7.  I have Rihanna's Unapologetic cd that I ripped to itunes a while ago.  Today I synced my entire music library to my iphone.  The only way I can find the album by Rihanna is if I go to the home sharing on my iphone and choose my computer library! I'm getting really frustrated because I don't understand why I can't just have all my music in the music library and nowhere else?  Also, all of my music appears to be on the cloud which doesn't make sense to me.  Especially because I synced it all from my computer so why do I have to download to my phone again? Basically itunes is doing too much.  Oh, and every time I sync my music itunes always deletes my playlists from my phone.

    Consolidate your iTunes Library
    As for the other part of the question, iTunes syncs with Apple devices.
    Simply copy the media desired from the computer to the microSD card.  This has nothing to do with iTunes.

  • I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

    I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

    Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
    To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
    1) Go into Settings > Store.
    2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
    3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
    4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.

  • If I turn off iMessages on my iphone 5 and only use SMS, I am hoping this will this stop ALL my messages going to partners ipad? I only want 2 use SMS and not have any of my messages go to partners ipad so dont want to alter ipad settings.

    My situtation is this, my soon to be ex previously set up an ipad with both our numbers and we share a linked itunes/icloud account so if my phone is off he gets all my messages via his ipad that I DO NOT have access to his ipad at ALL. I can't set up my own itunes account (not yet until I leave him) otherwise he will know I am leaving him and it will cause major problems. So I was hoping that if I turn off iMessages on my iphone 5 and just talk to my family via SMS and NOT touch his precious ipad mini, that he wont be able to get my messages anymore and if I turn off iCloud storage and back up as well on my iphone only. Is this correct? Its just a temporary solution I am hoping. I have searched for days and hours and I just cant find this answer anywhere....
    Do I HAVE to turn off my phone number off or delete it on his ipad? I am really hoping I can just do this at my own end and not touch his ipad in anyway or have to change my itunes id YET. Once I leave him shortly, I will create a whole new ID etc.  I just wanna know if I can do this myself on my iphone only. Please any experienced help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much.

Its just a temp thing and I just want to take action myself on my own phone and want to know if this will work. Does anyone know?
    SMS messages will not go to the iPad Mini. It's not capable of receving them. If you have access and can do it without it causing a problem, remove your iPhone from the Apple ID Support profile:
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Log in if not already logged in.
    Click on "Edit Products"
    Click on the "X" to the right of the product.
    Click "Unregister"
    If anyone in your family uses iMessage, they will go to both you and your boyfriend unless you do that.
    To be completely safe, you may want to simply use an alternate message app such as Skype, Viber, Whatsapp (assuming everyone has a smartphone) until the issue is resolved. Google Voice will also allow you to send and receive texts to another number on your phone.
    Best of luck.

  • How to turn off find my iphone without knowing icloud password

    I just bought an Iphone 6+.
    Backed up data and settings from old Iphone 5 onto Itunes and used Restore on new Iphone 6+ but contacts from old phone did not appear on new phone.
    Tried backing up data from old Iphone 5 again onto Itunes.  However, when I tried to Restore again on Iphone 6+, I got a message saying I need to turn off Find my Iphone.  Unfortunately, Iphone requires Icloud password in order to turn off Find my Iphone feature and I am locked out of Icloud due to too many failed attempts.  I also cannot use the Icloud account associated with the old Iphone 5 as I cannot remember the answers to the security questions and I do not think I entered an alternate email address.
    Anyway, short of wiping my new Iphone 6+, is there any way of turning off the Find My Iphone feature without keying in a icloud password?
    On another note, I tried erasing all data and settings but could not because I had to key in a Restrictions passcode and I do not even know how a Restrictions passcode even got into my new Iphone 6+!.  1 way I am trying now is to key in my normal passcode wrongly more than 10x so that whole phone will be wiped but I am now at the stage where I have to wait 1 hr before entering another wrong passcode.
    If anyone knows how to contact Apple so that I can ask them to reactivate my icloud account so that I can try some more passwords, that would be helpful.

    Try this support document for information on how to contact Apple and account security. Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

  • How do I turn off icloud on my iphone 4s? Can I still use Find My Phone?

    How do I turn off icloud on my iphone 4s?
    Can I still use Find My Phone?

    You cannot use Find My iPhone without iCloud.
    If you want to sign off of your iCloud account on your iPhone, you go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and sign out. It will ask for your password so it can turn off Find My iPhone before removing the iCloud account from your device.
