HT201436 No notification on my iPhone 4 when received text messages
No notification on my iPhone 4 when text messages received.
It is happening anywhere, no particular location. I am located in Wiscasset, Maine. I power cycle my phone at night time. I'm using the normal iPhone messaging app, nothing extra or special. And yes I can call the same numbers. My friends will just get my messages from them that they already got or never received, 2-3 days after I sent them, no matter where I am or where they are. They come from different carriers or the same carrier and different types of phone or some have the iPhone. It seems to be extremely random. Very frustrating.

IPhone 3G stops receiving text messages in the middle of a conversation
My iPhone 3G 3.1.2 frequently stops receiving text messages in the middle of a back-and-forth texting conversation. No other function on the phone seems to be interrupted, because I usually just continue using other apps before I realize it's been 10 minutes since the other person last replied.
I can receive the messages by turning the phone off and on (once I realize what's going on), but this is such a hassle, especially because I can waste 15 minutes of another person's time in the process. Interestingly, once I turn the phone back on, I receive the messages and they tell me they were received at the earlier time (ie., if I was previously texting at 1:53, it might say 1:55, even though nothing showed up AT 1:55). So it seems like the phone receives the text and knows that it did, but for some reason doesn't display it or notify me at the time.
I've seen similar threads in this forum to this problem, but they all seem to be accompanied by other malfunctions, which this is not.

When receiving text messages on my iPhone 4, they all come at the same time
Whenever I have text message conversations it's like my phone is waiting for every reply to come in and then display them to me, like sometimes the time stamp could be from ten minutes ago even though i just received it.

Why don't I receive iMessages on my iPad when sent to my iPhone? When I send messages from my iPad, they show up on my iPhone, but doesn't hold true the opposite way?
Ok. So I figured out that I can add the email address to my iPhone 4s to receive the iMessages sent/received from my iPad. How do I get the messages on my iPad that were sent to my iPhone? Is it possible?

When trying to install a new app on my iPhone 4S, i received a message: "This is not a Test User account. Please create a new account in the Sandbox environment". What does this mean? I cannot update or download any app. Thanks
Common on jailbroken iPhones, not so on non-jailbroken iPhones. Thus, if your phone is not jailbroken, restoring from backup will hopefully fix the issue.

I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
Problems: Suddenly ALL incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive) other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before. Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

LG Revolution not receiving text messages from iphone user
I am not receiving text messages from iphone user, sporatically. The messages are showing as reveived on Verizon website in usage detail, but not being received on my phone.
This issue needs fixed asap! I have a few suggestions that should help you get this resolved. If they are showing up in the usage details, that means they are hitting the Verizon network, but for some reason they are not showing up on the phone. I recommend clearing the cache from your messaging/text messaging programs. Go to settings> applications> manage apps> all> Messaging/Text Messaging> Force Stop/Clear Cache/Clear Data. Erase the old text threads that you have saved and retry.
If that doesn't work, please let us know the following:
1) Do they come in delayed or not at all?
2) Do you have any 3rd party messaging apps installed?
3) Do they have any problems receiving messages from you?
4) When they're sending messages, are they directly to you, or do you have this problem when the iPhone user sends to a group of people?
Thanks for the additional info! I'm sure we can find a fix.

Ever since I enabled iMessage on my Mac Airbook, I can no longer receive text messages from the iMessage people on my iPhone, only on my iMessage now!! How do I get the messages to reach both iMessage and iPhone??
We are suffering very similar issues when communicating from my iphone to a friend who has both iphone and iPad enabled.
As long as I reply to an existing text chain, then it is visible on the target iphone. If I SMS the phone number, it gets routed to the IPAD!! And NO, I should not have to disable imessage when I want to send an SMS!! -
Got the new Iphone 5c from Verizon today and was really happy with the phone until we realized it is unable to send or recieve text messages AT ALL. We've tried everything, searched the internet for hours, I've tried live chatting with Verizon and Apple ALL DAY and somehow keep getting "disconnected" even though my internet is working perfectly. The phone is pretty much useless if it's unable to perform one of it's main functions and it's really dissapointing to add a line, get the phone, only to discover a major problem with seemingly no solution whatsoever. Is there any fix for this? Because a phone that is incapable of sending or receiving a simple SMS message is pretty much useless. It's too bad too because I really love the phone if not for that. Does anyone have a legitimate way to solve this problem? We've done everything, network resets, turning imessaging on and off, factory reset, etc. etc. etc. and nothing works. Please help.
Hello Idkallday!
I know your device sends and receives text messages! Let's get to work on this! Did you port your service from another carrier, or is this a new number? Is your previous device still powered on?
I also want to ask if you are able to use iMessaging, and if you see any error message when sending?
Please test it by sending a message to your own mobile number, and keep us posted!
