IOS 5 SMS ISSUE

Hello everybody ... I'm new on the forum, but I follow you for years ....
Yesterday I upgraded my iphone 3GS from version 4.3.3 to 5. but then I realized I have a problem with SMS. I get to get just that:
- The phone does not ring and appears only the badge on the app messages
- The phone rings only if the app is opened and get a text message
- Notifications for text messages doesn't work
I restored, tried to receive SMS, but nothing ...
Now I ask is it possible that if you upgrade the firmware the apple does not provide for compatibility sms Taken from a previous fw? Have someone the same my problem? Thank you all in advance ....
I also tried another way... I restored and used as new phone, then restored backup ... the problem persists!Sorry for my bad english...:-(

Restore in iTunes as new, without restoring the backup. If it still doesn't work, there is a hardware failure that needs evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in Italy.

Lumia 1020 SMS Issue.

Been having issues for a few months now and haven't been able to find any solutions online. I'm having an issue where I can not send messages to certain numbers and I am just receiving the "Can't send" message as if I had no signal. What's even more confusing is that I have no issue receiving messages from these numbers, I am just incapable of replying. Currently this is only affecting a few contacts, but obviously this is an extremely annoying issue. If you have any advice or tips to solve this issue I would greatly appreciate it. Oh and I've just carried out all possible updates and still the problem persists.
-Thanks for taking the time to read this, MuirC

Hi MuirC,
We appreciate your effort in posting your concern on the forum. By the way, are you still experiencing the SMS issue? If yes, have you tried using another SIM card if it makes any difference? Make sure to use the original Micro SIM and not the modified one. You may also try checking this Nokia Lumia 1020 - Troubleshooter for a possible resolution. Any update is very much appreciated.

1.1.3 & sms issue

1.1.4 didnt fix the sms issue ... i still get errror invalid number . please resnd useing a valid 10 digital number or valid short code.

Make sure you are only using the 10 digit mobile number and not including a 1 in front....like you would typically do when dialing long distance. If that is not the problem you're having.....then I'm clueless as to why you are getting an error.

iPhone 6 IOS 8 Wifi Issue - How can we rule out hardware
With all the post about Wifi issue, could it be hardware and not software. Anyone know how to diagnosis the difference.

Hi Lady Engineer,
If you are having an issue with Wi-Fi on your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

IOS 5 update issues. It tells me "This device isn't eligible for the requested download." Anyone else having this issue? It's giving me this message for my iPhone 4 and iPad 2.

Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

IPhone 4 SMS issues...not 1 way text

I recently bought an iPhone 4 from verizon. I noticed a SMS issues...getting text from other cell phones with no problem but not from 1 way texts(I.e. Banks, Internet). Tried to open my mobile banking/alerts on my credit cards ( 4 total). When the companies text me the verification code I never received text. Talked with verizon but they didn't find any issues. Their text test came immediately through. They had me send text to my self via (www.txt drop.com) but never got those texts....help What the heck is going on...

If it is not reaching your iPhone has to be an issue with either Verizon or the person sending it.

Weird SMS Issue (iOS 4.2, iPhone 4)

So I have a weird software issue that's been going on with my new iPhone 4. Every time I get a text message and I "Slide to View" it doesn't take me to the message, rather, it marks the message as read and then takes me the main Messages pane. Is there anything I can do to fix this? It's pretty annoying, along with it sometimes opening up the messages app to an unread message without letting me start at the main screen?
I do not want to restore because I will lose all of my previous text messages. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks!!!

I've had the same problem since updating to iOS 4.2, on Vodafone network (Ireland).
I'm now dropping most calls in the first minute, I live in the city centre with good network coverage, and I have the cover on...
I went to the VF store yesterday, was given a new micro SIM in case that was the problem (it wasn't).
Then rang VF technical support who reckoned it might be a problem with the software not changing quick enough between 3G to 2G network and vice versa to boost signal strength and recommended disabling 3G (this hasn't helped either).
So I'm sorry for not having an answer, have you heard any fixes elsewhere for the problem though?

Iphone 5 with iOS 7 sms not working.

Hi,
I just bought a new iphone 5 yesterday and I'm not able to sent/receive any sms. I got iOS 6 preloaded with my phone which I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 with a hope to get this problem solved but still I'm not able to sent/receive sms.
I've my sms service enabled from carrier provider and all the settings are correct. I've been searching over the internet for solutions and tried almost everything but no luck so far.
FYI, I'm from Mumbai, India and using Airtel.

Hey BilalBudhani,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues sending/receiving SMS messages. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
If you can't send or receive messages
- Restart your device.
- Update to the latest iOS Software.
- If you are trying to send a message to multiple recipients and you type in each contact manually instead of using the contacts list, make sure you tap return instead of space to separate each one.
If you still can't send or receive SMS or MMS messages
1. See the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant.
2. Verify that every phone number in your contacts list includes an area code.
3. When sending to existing contacts, ensure that your contacts include the full phone number, and not just the information needed to dial locally.
4. If you have recently ported your number from another carrier, please contact your current carrier to verify that the porting process has completed successfully.
Thanks,
Matt M.

IPhone 6/iOS 8 email issues with wifi connection

Hi
I have just upgraded from an iPhone 4 (iOS 7) to an iPhone 6 (iOS 8) and am having an issue with my pop email account. I used my iPhone 4 backup to set up new iPhone, so all the settings were as they were in my old phone. I have two email accounts, one is an IMAP account and the other is a POP account (which is my main email), I have no problems connecting to the server and downloading emails when connected via 4G (its super fast), but when I am connected via wifi, the POP account takes ages to connect to the server and check for emails (stuck on checking for email). I can speed up the process by closing mail app completely and reopening, then it checks and downloads really quickly (IMAP account has no problems), but this is frankly a pain.
I have spent ages on the phone with Apple support, who have got me to delete my POP email account twice, reset network settings, reset the phone using on/off button and home button, all to no avail. They are intent on telling me it's my email service providers fault, but as I pointed out there is no issue on 4G and my old iPhone (using iOS 7) on wifi has no issues, so can't be email provider. I have also tried using Apple's wifi in store to rule out router issue and the problem happened there too.
Have now run out of suggestions and options. I'm not sure if it's the phone itself, either a hardware or software issue (Apple support think not). Someone told me that it could be the wifi on my phone blocking the connection to the server. I have an appointment booked at the genius brand they have suggested wiping the phone and setting up as a new phone to see if the problem occurs, but this seems a bit drastic and I would lose all messages etc. Any help would be appreciated.

I have solved the issue! I tried my pop account on other devices with iOS 8 and the same thing happened, so I deduced that the issue is a glitch in iOS 8 with wifi and pop accounts. I managed to get hold of the IMAP settings for my email provider and all seems to be well. Happy days!

Address Book Server and iOS Default Account Issue

I have a really strange issue with a Lion Server. 10.7.5
There are several user accounts on the machine some are local, some are OD accounts. For the most part they work just fine.
Mail and Calendar accounts seem to be ok and indeed when you set up the Address book account this also work and syncs in both directions.
Here is the odd issue: For certain accounts, iOS devices do not seem to register them to be available to set as default. The device can use them properly, they do sync fine, if you hit 'import SIM contacts' they will show up as options to choose as the destination account, but if you have iCloud and another contact account set up, they do not show up as options to be chosen as the default contacts account. If they are the only contact accounts, then the 'Set Default Account' option does not even appear in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings under Contacts. It appears fine under Calendars and Mail.
When I installed more than one of the 'faulty' accounts on a single iOS device, then deactivated all but one, the Default Account option reappeared (there was also an iCloud account present), but it soon disappears on its own.
Has anyone seen this before?
I'm at a bit of a loss.

You should see a "CardDAV" option in the AccountType popup in AddressBook.app. That is what you need to select to use AddressBook Server on OS X 10.6.

How do I get Apple to pay attention to IOS Mail Signature Issues?!!!!!

IOS Signature.....
OK, so I know this has been answered a number of times before and I have posted this at the request of senior advisors at Apple Customer Service who are also fed up with people complaining about the lack of basic functionality with IOS Signatures.
So the issue for me is that, with IOS8 Apple introduced continuity. I can sit on my MacBook Air in the lounge, my phone on charge in another room, and genius, I can take a phone call right from my Mac. Perhaps the cynic in me thinks this was designed for the American market and those too bone idol to get of their fat A***'s and answer their phone (Hey every calorie counts after all). But what I continue to fail to get is why I can have a beautiful, Professional signature on my MacBook Air. I have a JPEG of my signature, my details, Facebook and linked in Logo's. It looks very good and often people ask me how I did that!!! But when I am out and i want to send an e-mail from my iPad Mini w Retina or iPhone 5s. Apple think that I don't need that professional signature and that basic text will do! Apple, it won't, its a basic function and you need to do something about it!!!
This has been a common complaint and oversight from Apple since the original iPhone.
I have to wait to get home to send a business e-mail from my Mac using the signature. I can cut an paste the signature from an e-mail, it works for 1 or 2 e-mails and then reverts to replacing the images with little grey boxes. I have tried all the workarounds, spend hours, probably days trying to do this and the same result overtime. Clearly Mail can send jpeg, gif, bmp etc.... just not as a signature through the settings menu. This must be a simple fix!!!
I have come to the conclusion that:
1/. Tim Cook and the executives at Apple do not use iPads for business use, or this would have irritated them and it would have been resolved. Surely while they are jetting around the world promoting the generally useless Apple Watch they would have noticed this problem?!
2/. Or Tim Cook and his gang do not use iPads!!!!!!
So Apple, please, Please, PLEASE fix some of these basics... PDF management in IOS, iCloud management on IOS and let us have more than simple text signatures in Mail in IOS. Its a basic, necessary business function!!!!!!!
These little things have stopped me upgrading the iPad and iPhone and like others I know who were Apple loyalists and promoted the virtues of Apple products, we now consider other options, with basic functionality. Stop chasing the next major release and give us the basic functionality.
Please if you know a way of doing this that works time and time again that doesn't mean opening an old e-mail and pasting every time I send an e-mail, let me know...

Iphone 5 / iOS 6 IMAP issues

This is a strange one, however I see many people are reporting similar issues.
I just received my iPhone 5 last night and I'm unable to access my primary email accounts on the device via IMAP. After entering and deleting my email account multiple, tried with SSL (how I normally do it) and without SSL, etc... it continues to tell me that I'm entering the wrong username and password. (which I'm possitive is correct as I'm able to log in via webmail with no issues.)
My email accounts are run through a cpanel server, I've alternated between courier and dovecot on the server, no change. Mail logs on the server are showing that I'm getting to the server, my AT&T IP, etc... and that the password is being rejected. I'm wondering if it's doing something which the characters of the password when it trys to pass it to the server.
One addtional note, my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 both updated to iOS 6 on Sept 19th with no problems, IMAP is working normally on those devices. The issue is on my iPhone 5 only.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Joe

I had the same problem today with my iPhone5 and the upgrade to IOS 6.1 over my wireless network. The phone clearly saw the network, just wouldn't accept my password (which I verified in my keychain on my laptop). I reset the network on the phone per other posts, turned Airplane mode on and off, restored my phone. Still no luck. Then I went into my home office and held the phone right next to my airport extreme, and it finally took my password. Now its connected, with same strong signal it always had throughout my house. No idea why that worked but not arguing! Hope that helps.

IOS 8.1 issues on iPhone 4S - open letter

Dear Apple,
Thank you very much for an extraordinary Apple experience during my last almost 5 years.
I’m an Apple fan, starting with 2008 when I’ve entered Apple iPhone family with my first 2G terminal.
Today, I do own and currently use Apple products in my day-by-day activity as well at home.
Your development, since my first iPhone device (first generation iPhone -2G), represents for me an astonishing journey through everything your company has offered in line of devices and software. Today in my family are been used by me nad my family an iPhone 4s, an iPhone 5s, an nano-iPod, an iPad 2 generation, and a MacBook, devices which are extremely reliable and current updated to the last software version Apple had issued for each as applicable.
My bitterness comes from an unwanted experience I have encountered with my 4S on iOS 8.1. I am profound unhappy of the actual disruptions in usage on the basis of un-adaptation and non-fluent operation of my 4S. iOS 8.1 was presented and it should be the step-forward for such devices but, instead, it is only a great “pain”. Apps are closing unattended, the fluency of the operation is so lagged, and functionality has a lot to suffer in this line.
I've made the transition to iOS 8.1 as recommended by professionals and after taking into view and applying all what your engineers and specialists have recommended. Thoroughly I respected letter-by-letter the given indications referring update. And later, after not being satisfied with the newly issues development, I restored three times my device in regard of obtaining that new-breath which was presented during Keynotes and your support service. Still, without any success.
Therefore I had visited Apple local service for a full diagnostics upon my iPhone. Their test came all OK, but without any improvement in general usage on iOS 8.1. Same problems and operation issues are present. I do mention that before, using iOS 7.1.2 none of these above-mentioned issues were appearing.
I’m sorry but I cannot take the step-forward to buy a new 5S nor a newer 6 in order to get rid of these “creepy” problems, due the cost of such terminals on local market in Romania, costs that I cannot afford for few next months. So, hereby I’m kindly asking you to help me, and all of other unsatisfied users of such iPhone 4S terminals, to be able to restore our devices to an early iOS 7.1.2. Or else, to solve somehow, as fast as possible, in a later iOS 8.1.x version of all those impediments we’re hitting ourselves these days after update.
It is extremely hard and frustrating not to be able to use at a designated and well-defined high-level scale of a fully functional device, because operating system or programming-issues, or because the hardware cannot fully comply with the actual needs of a new developed operating system. OS designed for to be used with anything starting with 4S and above, too. I’m writing this letter for to point out to your attention that this is really happening and, due to my humble opinion, all this particularities does not concur to the gained positive image and professionalism which Apple has built and demonstrated in all the past years.
Thanking in advance for your kind support in this matter, I’m looking forward for your kind answer.
Kind regards,
Kikishor - still wanting to be a proud user of Apple products

Ios 7 wifi issues with iphone 5 and iphone 4s

I downloaded and installed ios 7 on 3 iphones and an ipad on Thursday. initially after install all devices wouldn't connect to my homes wifi (but other devices in the home are connected and can access the internet with no issue) I rebooted each device and was able to connect problem soved. WRONG this has been an on going issue, most of the time my devices wont even see my wifi network and when they do, I still can't connect. I have reset wifi settings, I have double checked passwords, I have rebooted the IOS devices and rebooted the router (which was likely not needed as my 2 apple tv's, windows 7 laptop, windows 8 laptop and 2 imacs all are connected with no problem as wel as my ps3, and sony smart tv.
So, 1) is anyone else experiencing this issue 2) have you found a way to resolve the issue 3) has anyone gotten a response from apple support i.e. is this s known issue and are they working on an update to resolve.
I guess my gut instinct to wait a few weeks to install ios was right and I should have listened to my gut
Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

I agree, Bluetooth is rubbish since 4.2 The phone won't connect properly with my carkit Parrot ck3000 evolution, when the iPhone 4 connects to the the carkit it resets the volume on the carkit to minimum volume. so every time you get in the car you have to manually set the volume!. fix this Apple and when your at it fix the wifi reception on it too its woeful! For all the mouthing Apple does on their features on the phone, it's pretty weak as a phone!

2- Turn off your phone, remove the SIM card, replace it a few seconds later and power on your phone.
Try those suggestions and post back with your results.
