I am unable to receive texts on my new LG G2 when sent from some other iPhones

I had an iPhone 4 and switched to LG G2 android. I am unable to receive texts on my new LG G2 when sent from some other iPhones. I've done everything Sprint and Apple have suggested - turned off imessaging, made sure the contact info on the other iPhones is plain mobile numbers, deactivated my iCloud account. Nothing is working. Anybody have any suggestions?

See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5185. If you have done everything there, then look at the last line which says to get in touch with Apple Support. This is not Apple support, this is a user to user forum. Call Apple support based on your location with information from this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

HT4528 i upgraded from an iphone to a Samsung galaxy and now i am unable to receive text messages now from iphone users.the iphones think that my number is still another iphone and always sends a message as imessage.

Upgraded from iphone to a Samsung and now i am unable to receive text messages from other iphone users unless they disable imessage .
Being my original number was on an iphone is why this is happening .
Please help. Almost everyone has an iphone

You should have turned iMessage off before disabling the phone. Do you still have the phone so you can turn iMessage off? If not, you will need to go to Apple support on their website and delete the product from your profile.

Droid unable to receive text from iphone

I have a Droid and am unable to receive texts from a contact with an AT&T iphone. I can send this person texts and they go thru fine but I am unable to receive their texts. Any known glitches?....solutions? Thanks!!!

Make sure you have DATA turned on when receiving texts from iPhone users. I often keep my data off to save battery, then cant open texts from iPhones. Turned data back on then was able to get them.

Why would I be receiving texts on iPad,but now cannot send response from the iPad?

Wondering why I am receiving texts on iPad, but now cannot send response from it.

Have you tried resetting your iPad? Press on the Home and Power buttons and hold both down until the Silver Apple appears. Once the Home screen displays, try messaging again.
Cheers,

I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first

I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?

it's meant to work like that
so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

HT1349 I need to turn off the "find my phone" feature on my iPhone 5. The company I worked for took back their iPhone and now I cannot receive texts on my new LG F6 phone. Can I do this w/o the serial number?

I replaced my iPhone 5 with an LG F6 phone and now I cannot receive text messages from my friends with iPhones. Can somebody please tell me where to go to turn off the "Find your phone" feature and what ever else I need to turn off to accomplish this objective? Thank you.

Find My iPhone has nothing to do with receiving or not receiving text messages.
What you should have done is turn off iMessage prior to handing over the device.
Deactivating iMessage

I just got the new iOS5 update for the iPhone 3GS and I cannot receive messages because it says that the SMS is full. I deleted all my texts, but still cannot receive texts. Is there something I can do???, I cannot receive texts with the new iOS5 update

Hi everyone, I just got the new iOS5 update for my iPhone 3GS. I receive a message saying that "Your SMS mailbox is full. New messages cannot be recieved until you delete some messages." I deleted all of my messages but still could not receive texts after restoring and restarting my phone. Can anything be done to remedy this??? Thanks!

Apple is screwing the pooch on this one. Need to call in and be vocal.

Hi nathanabc,
If you are having issues deactivating iMessage, you may find the "Unlink a phone number" portion of the following article helpful:

Why is a photo displayed sideways when emailed. When I take a picture and email it is received sideways and not like it appeared when sent. I have not had this problem when sending pictures from my IPad or Mac. Thanks for any help M

It seems when the photo is sent to someone it is received in a sideways position. I have resent after editing and rotating the picture but is still is not upright.
Any help would be great.
Thanks. M

In my case I take HD video with an Apple iPhone 4S and an iPad 2. These cameras can be just as easily oriented in any of four orientations by hand, or in various iPhone or iPad holders for mounting on a tripod. As long as I stay with Apple or Adobe products for my whole video handling process, I have no problem with software support for orientation
While there are countless software programs available today that display JPEG images, only a subset of them actually interpret the EXIF Orientation flag. Just like color management, many programs simply display the JPEG image as it is stored, and completely ignore any extra details stored in the file's metadata. The most important of these additional details is the Orientation flag, stored in the JPEG APP1 marker under EXIF IFD0.
More explanation of this is in the text below.
Briefly, Apple is doing it right, with their iPhone 4S and iPad 2, the way most High end video cameras do it. And they made sure that their apps looked at the appropriate flag to rotate the image before showing it. To understand this look at this site:
http://www.impulsead...rientation.html
This is a site that explains the whole deal. Apple and Adobe are looking at the flags for image rotation. Plex,and many others are not doing so. VLC for instance, DropBox is anpther example, Thunderbird is another example, the list is long.
Many newer digital cameras (both dSLR and Point & Shoot digicams) have a built-in orientation sensor. Virtually all Canon andNikon digital cameras have an orientation sensor. The output of this sensor is used to set the EXIF orientation flag in the image file's metatdata to reflect the positioning of the camera with respect to the ground. Canon calls their sensor the "Intelligent Orientation" sensor. It is presumably a 2-axis tilt sensor, allowing 4 possible orientations to be detected. The paragraphs below are taken from that wonderfully illustrated link.
Auto-rotation in Digital Cameras
While your digital camera may include an option to "auto-rotate images" due to the camera's orientation, this is almost always just a "virtual rotation". A flag is set to indicate to the viewing software / LCD preview which way to rotate the image before display, rather than rotating the image content itself.
As lossless image rotation is a fairly compute-intensive operation, digital cameras are not likely to include true lossless rotation after capturing the photo. The CCD/CMOS sensor hardware is designed to stream raw data in a particular direction (e.g. rows then columns), and so it may be hard to incorporate true auto-rotation in-camera without a performance impact to continuous shooting (frames per second).

Hi, Have a look under the "MORE LIKE THIS" on the right there should be an answer in one of those threads.

Why can't I send text messages with my iphone5? I can send to other iPhones

I Just switched to an iPhone 5. I can send messages to other iPhone/iPads but cannot send texts to anything else. Any ideas? I did reset the phone and that did not work

My texts to some other iphones are green. problem just started a few days ago

my imessage has been working fine for many months. a week or so ago, some imessages to other iphones are green, not blue. I am on a pay per text plan, so I want to make sure these are going thru as imessages, not as texts

Green is SMS, Blue is iMessage.
If iMessage is working for some contacts but not others, the issue is unlikely to be on your end but rather with the person(s) that it is not working with.

Can no longer send/receive texts on my new phone

New Moto e phone and service bought two days ago. Everything was working fine. Went into Verizon account and checked that we did not want to receive premium texts ($0 cost). My phone will no longer send or receive any text messages. When we go into Verizon account premium text option no longer shown so there is no way to undo this. Help, I use texts for work!!!

lindajj, Yikes!! I would be so lost without my text messages. I use my text for everything these days. Let's make sure that we get you up and running with no issues. Does everything else work on your cell phone (calls and data)? Are you using the text message application that came on the phone or a 3rd party application from the Play Store? Also, do you get any kind of error messages when you try to send out a text message? Please keep me posted.

TS5185 Not receiving texts to a new phone.

This requires quite a bit of background story so please bare with me. I recently bought a new Samsung Note 3 and it has been absolutely delightful. However, I've noticed that those people who I regularily text that have an iPhone I can no longer recieve text messages from. I found several threads on the Android website that addressed this issue. However the steps listed have not as yet fixed the problem. I've noticed it is only people with an iPhone that I cannot receive a text from, these messages go to my iPad and its iMessaging system. So I turned off iMessage, my old phone and WiFi access to my old phone. None of these things worked. Farther down the thread someone said that for some reason reseting your Apple ID password seemed to work. Now here is my question:
1) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
2) My Apple ID will not allow me to reset me password or the security questions and it will not send me the email no matter how many times I try. Is there a reason for this?

Having similar trouble. Just activated a Droid Maxx. Still getting iPhone texts only on old iPhone and iPad. Verizon told me to go to "settings" then go to "messages"and turn off "iMessage". I couldn't do it on phone. Was able to do it on iPad. But I'm still not getting texts from iPhones on my new droid

I have followed all the steps to fix this problem, but I do not receive texts on my new Galaxy 4 from iPhone users. I tried everything I was told and found in these forums. Still no luck.

I switched to Verizon in March 2014, from AT&T. I traded in my old iPhone4 for a Galaxy 4. Ever since, I am not getting text messages from anyone who has an iPhone unless they WORK for Verizon. I have deleted my phone from my apple profile and I don't own any other apple products. I switched to an Android because I was tired of Apple's proprietary ways. It seems not matter what I do, and I have done EVERYTHING suggested here on these forums. No luck. I am so frustrated. I have a very large family and almost everyone else has an iPhone. Even if they don't, I am not getting all their messages. I like the new Galaxy, but believe I have made a huge mistake switching carriers and phones, even though I hate Apple products.

Welcome to the Verizon family irishlass82! I know how important it is to stay in touch and we'll make sure that you don't regret your decision! Before trading in your device, did you turn off iMessage? In effort to correct this issue, text the word STOP to 48369.
