IMESSAGE PROBLEM. Switching from android to iphone

I'm having problems with my iPhone 4s . my carrier is tmobile. I can't receive messages from other iPhones and I'm looking for any suggestions out there to fix this problem for me. I tried resetting the network settings. I switched from android gs3 to this iPhone 4s. I just took out my sim card from the gs3 to the iPhone 4s. I shut off my imessage. I went to verify my account to the macbook t. See if I can plug it into to that imessage and it will start connecting but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

Can't send imessage to someone who has switched from android to iphone, but kept the same number

One thing you can try
Turn iMessage off on your phone
Reset your phone - no data loss
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Then activate iMessage and start a new conversation and see what happens

The Switch from Android to iPhone

Hello everyone,
For about 4,5 years now, I have always been using Android smartphones. I have never regretted buying them and I have always loved them. The main things that made me choose for android were the freedom and customization. I have always been experimenting with different custom ROMs, trying to adjust the way I use my device exactly the way I wanted to. I had never even considered buying an Apple device.
About a year ago I was looking for a tablet. I went to the store to have a look at the different android tablets. In the store however, I noticed the android tablets not running nearly as smooth as my phones always had. Just for the heck of it I also took a look at the iPads and I was intrigued by how smooth they ran. A lot of internet research and store visits eventually made me choose the iPad mini. I did not only want a smoothly running device, I also wanted to try out a different operating system. Furthermore, I also somehow wanted to reserve the endless customization and messing around with different ROMs for my phone. I wanted the tablet just to run smoothly and work. Apart for a slight image retention problem, my iPad Mini works great and I never regretted buying it despite of my earlier dislike for Apple.
However, even after buying the iPad, I could still never imagine myself buying an iPhone. Until recently. Allthough I still really like my blazing smooth Galaxy S3, I am kind of losing the interest for constantly changing ROMs and the endless customizability. It was fun having all those options open, lately I have always been looking for ROMs that simpely work properly without any hassle and that run smoothly. The thought of switching to iPhone has crossed my mind several times, but I am still unsure.
I was wondering if there are any people who have recently made the switch from Android to iOS and how they experienced it? I think I'll like having an iPhone for its simplicity and smoothness, but I am also afraid that I might miss widgets, custom MP3 players, and the freedom to download and open any file or easily send them from my phone.
How have other ex-android users experienced this switch? What difference did you like most and which android features did you miss (in the beginning)?
I hope to hear from you :)

Ok, no widgets and I do miss those occasionally. However, I have other music players on my phone than the built in one. And, I've yet to find a file that I could put on my Android phone and use that I couldn't also put on my iPhone. In both cases, I generally email files to myself.
Things that I like on Android phones that I can't get on an iPhone: ability to schedule SMSs for a later time, ability to use a different messaging app for SMS, ability to set profiles for settings based on time, location, etc with apps like Tasker.
On the other hand, my iPhone never crashes (I found custom ROMs to be a nightmare). It integrates beautifully with my iPad and lots of other devices. Siri is, for me, much better than Google's voice features, though that gap is closing. And, as the Apple App Store is more lucrative for developers than the Google Play store, the apps that I want and use, in my opinion, seem to be better. I find the user experience on an iPhone just more pleasant. And, I think you'll find that an iPhone 5S is just as "blazing" as a Galaxy S4... forget the S3!
Best of luck.

Im a long time Android user switching to the iphone 6 plus. What is the experience of the first time iphone users switching from Android

I had the Gal note 3 then was given a SGS5 for a replace because the Note3 had issues.
Couldnt stand the screen size so I had to go back to the larger screen.
I decided to go with the iphone 6 plus.
So for those who have made the switch from android to apple for the first time what
has you experience been like.
I am an ipad user but want to know peoples opinions that have switched phones.
One thing I dislike and I know you can change it; it seems like google want to
force you to use chrome which I cannot stand

Hi zharvey85,
I truly apologize for your experience at the store. However, we provided the pre order as a way to avoid needing to go to store as inventory availability are subject to change without notice. The pre order secures the device and the other email was for the shipping information. Perhaps you can re order the device online to get the ball rolling for you to get your iPhone 6 plus as desired as opposed to going to the store of which inventory can change depending on the availability.
Thank you!

Switching from Android

Hello
I'm wondering, what would I miss by switching from Android? I do know I'd miss my widgets. But as far as I'm concerned, how well does Google and iOS work together? I'm a heavy user of Google's services (Multiple Gmail accounts, calender, drive, docs, Youtube). Also, how does the App Store compare to the Google Play Store in terms of productivity apps?
The device I'm intending to buy is an iPad Mini 2.

I've been a heavy user of Google for years. Part of the reason I've used Gmail, Google Calender, etc for so long is because I have mutiple devices, including one Android phone and they change fairly often (it's a work thing). It all works very well on iOS devices. I prefer the Gmail app to the built in Mail app for access Gmail.
The App Store has, in my opinion, a much better selection of apps, especially usable apps. It's a little more expensive to be a developer so you don't get as much complete junk.
I do recommend that you go to an Apple Store and spend some time playing with the iPad Mini to get a feel for how it works, what it feels like to use.
Best of luck.

Problems Switching from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy S4

I switched from an iPhone to a Samsung. Why do people with iPhones continue to have problems texting me. They tried deleting my iMessage streams and re-entered my phone as a mobile. They still get error messages. It's been a week since I got the Samsung.
By the way, I have deactivated my iphone number on the Apple ID website.
ITH

Unfortunately I have turned off iMessage from my iPhone and have called in to deregister. It's been almost 24 hours and it's still not working correctly. The HUGE issue is that I've basically been told "it will eventually start working". Well, I didnt pay you have the money and tell you I'd send the rest when it started working. You are a huge company dealing with another huge company. I PAID THE MONEY AND YOU TOOK IT BUT THE PHONE IS NOT WORKING THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO. If you cant make a device work, you should not be selling them with the assumption that you can use it when you pay right then. There are so many forums and threads about this problem but yet nobody mentioned it at the verizon store. I will not be a customer by this evening is this doesn't resolve. This is **** poor business and terrible communication about switching devices. The largest network is doing a great job of pushing me back to AT&T. Rediculous!!

I have the same problem from iPhone5S to S3. Finally I switched to iPhone 5S from a Samsung Galaxy Android. This device is absolutely flawless. Noticeable faster than my S3 which I never thought was slow. Camera is good too. So far I'm pleased!
Now back to the topic. I have used the program called mobitrans phone transfer to transfer all the data (including SMS and contacts) from my galaxy android to my new iPhone 5S:
I guess it supports all the android and iPhone devices.

How do I transfer contacts from Android to iPhone 4s?

I am trying to transfer my contacts from Android (Sony Xperia mini pro) to iPhone 4s, by using my google-account. However, it doesn't seem to work.
I've added my google account as an exchange-account, and checked off the "syncronize contacts". But no contacts appear.
When I log on to iTunes, under "info", I just do not get the option to check off the "Syncronize contacts from", there is no box to check, only for mail.
Anyone know what to do? I really need my contacts!!

******PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!******** It took me forever to figure out how to transfer my contacts!!!!! but i was able to easily once I downloaded this app on my HTC and iphone and sent all my contacts to my email and opened from my iphone! SOOO Easy!!!!

IMessage keeps switching from Imessage to text

I'll be in the middle of a conversation with someone and it will switch from IMessage to a text message. Why does it do that? Because sometimes when it does that I don't always get the messages when it switches to text messages.

I also have the same problem! Does someone from apple asnswer this? Are we being charge text message cost?

Switching from Android to iOS

Hello everyone, I'm wondering if you can help me.
I'm part exchanging my GS4 for an iPhone 5c and I'm wondering if I'll have to buy PS Touch for iPhone or just bring my subscription over from Android. It's no big deal but if I can save a few pennies, who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth?
If anyone could answer this question for me I'd be extremely grateful.
Thanks everyone,
Happy new year!

Switching from the original iPhone to the iPhone 3GS

Ok, so I have the old school iPhone. The one before all this 3g nonsense came into play. I am thinking about upgrading to the new 3GS.
So lets say I do decide to upgrade. When I put my SIM card from my old iphone into the new one, will I keep all of my text conversations, recent calls, voicemails, last page I visited on youtube/safari? I know when you sync your iphone it backs up data into itunes. But im just not sure what exactly what all of the data it does back up, you know what I mean?
Oh, and if I back up data on my old school iPhone, then sync a brand spankin new 3gs to the same itunes i backed up data on my old school iphone, will all my data switch to the new one?

Not the way to go. You get a new SIM and use that. Apple instructions are here:

Device switch from Android 2.2 to BB10

Hi There, I seek some advice how to switch from a Android 2.2 to BB10. I already searched for some information, and most pages advise, that I should download the device switch app to both devices and the app will perform all steps required. Unfortunately, my Android device has the version 2.2.1. and the device switch app required 2.3 and my device can't be upgraded. Is there any way to transfer data from the android device to the BB10? When I started to use the Android device, it had an app called Transfer Data and it automatically pulled the contactsetc. from my previous device. Is there anything similar for BB10? Thanks, preizer

hi, normally you can sync your contacts on your bb 10 device with your email accounts. for transferring your contacts to a bb 10 device, sync your android phone with your gmail account first and then sync your bb 10 device with your gmail account. for transferring other stuff like pics, music etc. i think you need to use a pc/mac for bridging. you won't regret switching i used android for a long time and also use ios at the moment. in my opinion, bb 10 is the most advanced mobile os together with sailfish os on the market. but people do not see that and just go for specs of the devices, not performance and security. regards
