I can't turn off iMessage! I'm losing messages people send me via iMessage!

I have an iPhone 4 with iMessage enabled.
But now I'm using my SIM card in an HTC phone. The problem is people with iPhone still see me as being on iMessage and when they text me, the text is sent via (blue) iMessage and not (green) SMS. So now on my HTC phone I can not receive any messages from iPhone users!
I've turned off iMessage on iPhone AND iPad. Logged out of all iCloud related services - iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, iTunes...
I've deleted my iPhone from my Apple ID Profile online.
But people with iPhone still see me as on iMessage! What should I do to permanently remove my phone number from iMessage service?

Can I turn off reply to all in messaging?

Are you talking about when you receive a group imessage and your replies goes to everyone? I don't know if there is a setting to do so. You can just create a new imessage and reply to the sender.

How can I turn off "reply" button when the messages come? I prefer the "open" button.

How can I turn off "reply" button when the messages come? I prefer the "open" button. Because my friends usually send lots of messages at the same time so I cannot read all of them when I press "reply", then I have to go to Messages -> my friends' messages, and it's really complicated.

Sorry for not quite understanding. I guess you are referring to a notice in an alert. I do not have that alert active on my device, so I cannot say. I use the banner alert, so I just get a notice of a message and can swipe to open that particular message. If I ignore it, it will eventually go away.

Kurt told you how to turn it off.

Can I turn off mu iCloud without losing all my documents on my iMac?My iCloud window popped up unexpectedly, and am worried about a hacker. HELP.

Can I turn off, or remove myself my iCloud account, without losing all my documents on my iMac? My iCloud window popped up unexpectedly, and am worried about a hacker. When I try and sign out of iCloud, The iCloud window is giving me a message that "If you turn off Documents & Data, all documents stored in iCloud will be removed from this Mac". I have iMac OS X 10.7.5, 2.7ghz, Intel core i5. I don't use my iCloud service, and I somehow my iPhone linked it to my computer by mistake. I don't want the service or need it, & don't want my info in cyberspace. I don't want to lose my documents on my hard drive, and it appears that I haven't used any data in iCloud, as 5GB of 5GB is available. HELP.

I would love to hear that Apple has remedied this problem. From other discussion strings that I am following related to this issue, it seems thus far we remain out of luck. I did discover that if I log onto iCloud.com I can access my files that way. Still, what a pain.
When I got the message re iCloud Drive as I was setting up my phone after the update to iOS8, it said I wouldn't be able to access my files unless all of my devices were running iOS8 OR Yosemite. That message was misleading as it really should have said all devices need to be running iOS8 AND your mac needs to be running Yosemite, as it was not an "either or" situation. So frustrating...

Can you turn off iCloud Drive without losing data?

I enabled iCloud drive but then discovered through some articles that one should not enable iCloud Drive until Yosemite comes out and all of one's devices are running iOS8 and Yosemite on their computes. Since enabling iCloud Drive I am missing Photostream and Pages docs that I had on my phone and god knows what else. When I went to try and turn off iCloud Drive (so I can then wait until Yosemite comes out before I re-enable iCloud Drive), I get the following message:
"Are you sure you want to turn off iCloud Drive? Some changes have not been uploaded to iCloud. If you turn off iCloud Drive, these changes will be lost." Immediately below that message is a red message that says "Delete from iPhone."
What exactly would be deleted from my phone if I turn off iCloud Drive? What changes does the message refer to? Why can't I just return my phone from iCloud Drive to the regular Cloud so I can access my Photostream and my Pages data? And why on earth did Apple not alert us to the issues we would face with iOS8 if we install BEFORE Yosemite comes out? This is so frustrating!
Thanks in advance for any advice.

How can I turn off an annoying network lost message?

Ever since the last iPhone software update I keep getting a message saying "Network Lost. Your selected mobile network is no longer available. You can choose a different network in settings." Now, I know what this means. There are only a few places in my house where you can get a mobile signal. What I don't want is my iPhone keep lighting up all times during the day and night telling me that it's lost it's signal! Apart from anything else, it uses up the battery and it wakes me up at night by the screen lighting up. How, oh how, can I stop it doing this. I lock it when I am not using it but I don't like to turn it off in case of family emergencies. I keep it by my bedside at night but lately I have to put it in my bedside drawer so it doesn't wake me. Is this a new feature of the update? If so, I hope enough people complain so they take it off. I don't need a message to tell me there is no signal. It says "No signal" across the top of the phone when there isn't one. Please someone help.

Latest update on 'Network Lost' Message. I have tried all the suggestions, ie, Setting my carrier to Automatic and resetting my Network settings but nothing works. I had a long conversation with someone at Apple this morning and he said there was no way to stop this from happening. Gutted! My husband and I went through the settings on both our iPhones earlier and discovered that he has a different software version to mine, He hasn't updated his and he never gets the message. Now I am wondering if it's possible to go back to an earlier version and if so how? Can anyone tell me please?

Can't turn off "Confirm Delete" option in messages

I've tried 100 times through "messages>options>general options>Confirm Delete> NO>save" but it won't stay on NO. The next time I go into message options, it's turned itself back on to 'YES'
I have done a battery pull, but no matter what I try, the "Confirm Delete" pop-up window will NOT shut off.

Can I turn off automatic chat saving in Messages?

I have never liked this feature and I think it's simply a waste of space on my hard drive. Time Machine likes to keep backing up as well.

I dont think you can, I also dont like this feature, I just open the folder (home)>Documents> ichats then delete the content. Not ideal I know, but for the moment its a workaround..

Messages not sending images via iMessage http 503 error

Hi all,
Just wondering if this is a service issue or if i'm having unique issues.
i'm able to recieve images people have sent me from their iphones, but when i attempt to send out an image from my laptop, it seems to fail.
"The server returned HTTP status code: 503"
(503 Service Unavailable - The server is currently unavailable (because it is overloaded or down for maintenance).Generally, this is a temporary state.)
this would indicate that the server might just be overloaded, but i thought i would check to make sure there's nothing i can do.
cheers.

Hi,
Potentially it could be one of three servers.
1) Your ISP
2) The iMessages server
3) The server that is serving the Contact's iPhone. (I think this is the most likely)
I think the message is a bit of a catchall as I ma not entirely sure iMessages messages are sent using the htttp protocol.
We could be looking at iPhones on carriers that don't have formal agreements with Apple and therefore may not have the ports that iMessages uses open for certain data traffic.

Can you "turn off" IM in Presence for certain users?

Running Presence 7.0. Can I turn off the IM function of select people? Or can I turn it off for everyone?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Johnny,
You can turn off IM on a Clusterwide basis, but I'm not sure about individual users
