IMessage delay when unlock phone to see message?

Why is there a delay when I receive an iMessage to my phone? I'll get the message on my lock screen but when I unlock and go in the message isn't there. I have to go in and out twice before it shows in iMessage.

I'm having this same problem with my iPhone 5. It didn't appear until I upgraded to 7.1.1.

Is there a way to differentiate from two iPod touches that are on the same iTunes acct when using iMessage? When one child sends a message the other gets it and it says it's from our email address.

Both of my sons have iPod touches. I set them both up on my iTunes account. The problem we are having is when they are using iMessage. When one sends a message the other also receives it. The message is labeled as from my email address. Is there a way to differentiate the 2 iPods?

Occasional blank screen shot when unlocking phone

I have an iPhone 4 with IOS 7. After installing IOS 7, the phone occasionally takes a black "screen shot" photo when I swipe to unlock the phone. It is annoying. Is there a known glitch that causes this, or is there some other fix for this issue?

Hello stuh1,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the blank screenshot being created when unlocking your iPhone.
The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching all the applications on your iPhone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.

If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting all the apps, I recommend restarting your iPhone and then resetting if it's still not working:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

Mic delay when answering phone (4S)

When I answer my new iPhone 4S, there appears to be a delay during which the mic output is muted. I need to wait approx 2 seconds before speaking when I answer the phone, otherwise the other party cannot hear me. I have already received a replacement unit from my local Apple Store and both phones exhibit the same behavior.
Guessing this is a problem easily solved with a software update. Apple, please help!!!

Anyone who agrees this is not a hardware problem but likely a software issue? Could it also have something to do with the proximity sensor activating the mic based on the phone's position near your head? Maybe the sensor determines whether the mic is active based on your proximity to the phone when not using speakerphone. For those of us who start saying "hello" as we're raising the phone to our heads, that could be the issue.............?
Either way, easily fixed with a software tweak.

Delay when unlocking?

I have an 8gb 4th gen nano.
After unlocking, the click wheel is completely unresponsive and the lock icon still appears on the screen.
At first I thought that the lock button was not working but I discovered that if I
wait 20-30 seconds it 'unlocks' itself?
A reset seems to fix it for a few days.
Anyone else seen this?

Over the last few days my 3Gs was responding in the same manner. Unlock would sometimes work other times it would freeze. Once unlocked I would try an app and the phone freeze. On some occasions the Home button would work other times I had to do a reset. This went on for two days then I decided to start eliminating some application. I started by deleting the last updated app called Motion X, Drive and that solved my problem. I have an estimated 128 apps on my phone so I'm suggesting that apps can have conflicts with each other. So if all the other attempts have failed and you keep putting the same application back, try deleting a few of the last updates. This is probably specific to me, but it worked. My two cents worth.

Why does my iPhone 4 not show what my messages says when locked? It says ''message" but not what the person has said?

My iPhone 4 when locked or when unlocked when I receive an iMessage doesn't tell me what the person has said. When my phone receives a message it says 'message' underneath the persons name but not what they have said. Please help me?

Also enable Show in Lock Screen on that setting.
Also, Settings/General/Passcode Lock. Set the options.

My phone is hacked: messages with no subject nor content keep coming in and wont go to trash. What should I do?

I cannot get rid of messages coming in every 2 minutes. They have no content nor subject listed. They are complitely blank. They wont go to trash
OK: I think I got rid of this by simply turning off the phone: cannot see messages anymore!

My friends said that if I go to Apple store and report, they can use IMEI number to block the phone from accepting any Sim Card. Can anyone tell me if this is true?
No.
The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords, especially your Apple ID/iCloud password NOW!
If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.

Updated to iOS 7, when my phone came on for the first time I could see I had 2 new viber messages. When I went to open viber it asked me to register my number, which I did. Once the app was open I noticed all my message history was gone.

Hi,
I have only just upgraded to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4 and am having a problem with Viber. When my phone came on for the first time after the update I could see I had 2 new viber messages, when I went to open viber it asked me to register my number, which I did. Once the app was open I noticed all my message history was gone...
I still have an itunes backup of my phone just before the update, I restored it to this backup, followed the same process and now viber will not even work (the access code wont sms to me and the phone call option for recieving this code also come up with some error about not being able to do this at this time).
I have been able to access viber using another phone number (I have two sims which I use as I am currently overseas in south korea, my referenced australian sim has worked previously on viber overseas and I definently do have roaming on) but again I have no message history.
So to questions:
1) Why is my activation not working under my referenced australian number?
2) Can I recover all my message history which should be saved in my itunes backup? I am willing to revert to this backup state again if needed.
Please help.
Thanks.

Look iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is a backup listed for your iPhone 5 dated BEFORE you restored your iPhone 4 backup to your iPhone 5? If not, your data is gone. If there is a backup, on your iPhone 5: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore that backup, if it exists, to your iPhone 5.

HT4798 hi, I want too not have to use apple Id when i first start using computer and not to see messages from phone text to show up

How can I delete the apple Id sign every time I sign in and I do not want texts from phone showing up on computor

Hey dottiesue,
Sounds like you're receiving iMessages from your iPhone on your iMac, which you don't want. If that's the case, you can remove your account from the Messages app:
List all of the email addresses in the “You can be reached for messages at” list. You can find this list by choosing Messages > Preferences, and then selecting iMessage in the Accounts pane.
Or you can check with your friends and ask them to just send iMessages to your phone number instead of email, as they won't arrive on the iMac that way:
Check with your friends to see if they’re messaging you at an email address listed in the “You can be reached for messages at” list or if they’re sending messages to a phone number.
Messages can send messages to a phone number, but it can’t receive messages sent to a phone number.
If you send messages to a phone number, your friend will receive the message on iPhone, but not in Messages on Mac, iPad, or iPod touch.

Thanks Eric, but that was already turned on. I just now tried turning it off and on again, no change. Actually, I"m more interested in seeing the names than the pictures. I now only see the phone numbers and generic avatars where pics would be.

You use Restore to get the latest firmware build, not the Update button. You can only use the Update button, if there is an iOS update, say iOS 5.1.
