Incoming Text Messages Allocated to Wrong Contact

I recently recieved my Zed10 back from warranty repair for an out of the box malfunctioning headphone port and am now experiencing an issues a thousand times more frustrating. The phone is now having issues when I recieved a text message in which it will assign it to the wrong contact. I've checked the contact information, there's no duplicated numbers, the number the text is coming from is only assigned to one contact, yet thru one SMS conversation, it may appear that I am talking with 3 different individuals, which is very confusing. Before I sent my Zed10 in I did a full backup, then security wipe. I received my exact same device back from warranty, updated to the latest OS, did a restore of my backup, and now this. I went thru and deleted all the SMS history, which seemed to resolve the problem, but after about an hour it has started again. Some of the numbers it is now showing as incoming texts are not even numbers of my contacts, yet I can keep the conversation going by replying to the actual contact on my phone (if I reply to the number that it's telling me the text came from, the person on the other end has no information of any text). Has anyone experienced this? Since we don't really have contact backup options in Link like we did in DM my next "fix" attempt will be to move my contacts to my SIM card and wipe the device... again. Very glad to have my BB10 back after 2 weeks on a Curve 9300, but this is VERY frustrating.
If anyone has had anything like this happen, please help. Thanks everyone.

Droid Bionic text messages going to wrong people

I have had my Droid Bionic for several months now. It is not rooted and I don't download tons of apps on my phone. I don't use netflix to watch movies or download music. The apps I have are mainly to help me with work. So I'm not app happy just downloading things non stop. This is why I'm confused and irritated. My Bionic has started sending text messages to the wrong people! I had this issue with my Droid X which is why I switched to the Bionic, hoping that after all these years of making smart phones motorola, google and verizon would put a phone out there that actually works like it's supposed to. How much practice do these phone companies need to get their OS right? I don't mind paying a lot of money for something that will make my life a little easier but I get very irritated paying a lot of money for something that doesn't work the way it's supposed to...and at the most inappropriate times. The Bionic has gone from helping to adding to my daily hassles. Is anyone else having issues with text messages going to the wrong people on their Bionics? Have you found a way to fix it? I'm also getting error messages that just started about a week ago...com.motorola.main.service has stopped and then a option to forceclose. The tech support person at Verizon sounded like he had never seen a smart phone before and gave me the Verizon standard technical reply..."do a factory reset". I should not have to reset anything on a NEW Phone! Why don't you fix these problems Google, Motorola and Verizon and in a timely manner?! I know for a fact if I didn't pay for my phone as promised or pay my bill as promised I would suffer the consequences immediately! You cell phone companies are all about getting your money and leaving us customers out here hanging and irritated. If you think my feelings are misguided then feel free to prove me wrong. FIX THESE ISSUES AND FIX THEM IN A TIMELY MANNER! BETTER YET, PUT OUT A PRODUCT THAT WORKS AS PROMISED IN YOUR ADS! TRAIN YOUR TECHS TO ACTUALLY RESOLVE ISSUES INSTEAD OF RECITING THEIR FAVORITE MOTO "Do a factory reset"! When you do these 3 things I will not feel like someone who has been lied to, robbed, and irritated! I am usually a very positive person but after dealing with issues with 2 expensive phones I'm a little upset. Can anyone help me fix my phone?

Go into your settings, Messages and turn on iMessage. It will then send messages that are iMessages to both your iPad and iPhone. You can also turn off this feature on the iPad if you do not want to receive messages on the iPad.

Text messages going to wrong people

I am new to this forum and I think I posted under the wrong forum for my problem. Please follow the link to my post. I really would appreciate some help.

I have been experiencing this issue for the last few weeks and it is extremely annoying. I've called Verizon 7 times and have gotten nothing but the run around. What's even more annoying is hearing them say there will be a software coming out to correct the problem but they don't know when. I'm very disappointed in Verizon. I've been with them for many years. They were my first and only carrier. I will definitely not be taking this lying down. I'm going to get a resolution, and if that means leaving Verizon, then so be it. And if anyone from Verizon is reading this, PLEASE DO NOT offer up another apology. I don't want another apology, I want this issue to be corrected, NOW!!

I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

How do I silence an incoming text message alert while I'm in the middle of a telephone conversation?

How do I silence an incoming text message alert while I'm in the middle of a telephone conversation?

The only way to do that at this time is to use the mute switch on the side of the phone. You can provide feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

IChat 4.0.9 Incoming Text Messages Aren't Received

Hi All,
I am troubleshooting a problem with iChat 4.0.9 after upgrading to Mac OS X Combined 10.5.8. After installing the system update for OS X 10.5.8 on January 6, 2011, I no longer receive incoming text messages. Outgoing messages are received but incoming chat requests and responses to my messages are lost. Video and Audio chat work as normal, only the text messages are impacted.
I've looked at the system security settings, the firewall is set to allow all incoming traffic.
Apple recommended that I trash iChat and reinstall from the system disks, but the system won't take the disks that I have (I'm assuming because I'm on a newer version of the system), and I cannot find a 10.5.8 download (the 10.5.1 download also would not install).
Also of note is that the system shows that iChat was updated on January 30th, 2011 (another system update was pushed on this date).
Any ideas or thoughts on other things to check?
Your help is much appreciated.

Hi,
The Process is to stick in the Install Disk then open it in the Finder.
Expand the Window to see the Options Installs part.
Launch the Optionals .mpkg and it will launch the Installer.
This will run like any other installer that dos not require a Shut Down.
You will be presented with a Applications list
Select Just iChat.
(No Printer of other apps stuff)
Press the Continue button.
Reinstall the COMBO update to Update iChat afterwards

Why do I have to keep refreshing in order to maintain the sound for incoming text messages

How do I maintain the volume of the sound for incoming text messages without having to keep refreshing my phone

What do you mean refresh your phone?

Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack and how can you stop it?

As has been said, the iPhone itself can't be hacked this way, as far as anyone currently knows.
Your Apple ID is another story. Any kind of online accounts can be hacked, and Apple IDs are no exception. If someone hacks your Apple ID, they could see all the data in the associated iCloud account, such as contacts, and could send those contacts texts that would appear to come from you. If that were to happen, you should see an alert on your other devices that your Apple ID is being used with Messages on a new device.
If you have not seen that alert, it's unlikely that this problem is occurring due to such a hack. In that case, it would be more likely that either someone has gotten their hands on your phone, or some other Apple device registered to your Apple ID, and has used it to send that message. Or that the person claiming you sent a picture is lying for some reason.
If you believe your Apple ID may have been hacked, you should change your password immediately (at appleid.apple.com). You should also seriously consider enabling two-factor authentication on your Apple ID.

How can I stop my incoming text messages from going to my daughter's iphone?

How can I stop my incoming text messages from going to my daughter's iphone? I have the 4s she has the 4. When she got the latest update, everything on our phones synced. She got her own apple id, but she is still getting all of my text messages.

This is with iMessages only, and because she has the same email address available and selected under You can be reached at at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

Ugh I am not doing any of those things.
I do have alot of issues with my email getting hacked often, could that have anything to do with it?
I also do not believe my phone is jailbroken but to be honest I am not very smart with this.
Basically text messages (inappropriate) were sent to a person in my contacts...and a text message conversation was had for about 30 that I had no idea was even going on. I noticed it on my ipad later (they are synced and normally recieve all the same messages etc). The conversation then just ended out of no where.
Very odd...and I am nervous that someone has control over my phone.

I can't get a tone with incoming text messages.

I can't get a tone when receiving incoming text messages. I have tone for incoming mail and phone calls, it's just text messages.

I have had the same thing happen although I do not have an iPhone 5. I found that if I shut down the phone and turned it on again the text tone came back. Hope that works for you.

Text Message # displays instead of Contact

Text message contact name is not displaying... only their number. Despite having the contact name and number in "contacts". Also, i have confirmed the number is the exact same in contacts book as it is in the received text message. I am on Sprint and iPhone4S.
Any ideas/recommendations?

Even just going back to the list of converstatoins (button in top left) you will not get alert sound while in the App. Again, it assumes you are looking at it and seeing the indicators pop up for number of messages etc for each conversation.
You have to be out of the app for it to give a sound.
If you are not expecting a msg right away then why stay in it? Press home and go back to home screen and wait.

I can't receive text messages from only 1 contact

The past two days, I haven't been able to get the texts that were sent to me from only One Person. I tried the *228 number, and I also tried taking the battery out and resetting my phone. Someone please help me fix this ASAP!

The fact that this text messaging issue is isolated to only one contact indicates that your phone is able to send and receive text messages successfully on our network and the issue needs to be addressed by that particular contact and his/her wireless provider. Please have your friend contact his/her wireless provider for any text messaging issues on their end.
