IOS 7 broke iPhone 4 FaceTime & Messages
Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 7, both FaceTime and Messages are broken. I've done a full backup/factory reset/restore sequence - still won't work. Not happy - anyone got a solution? Or can Apple PLEASE make iOS 6.1.3 available again?!

Hello Rich the Badger,
I would be concerned too if Messages was not opening on my iPhone. I recommend following the steps in this article for an issue like this (steps 1-3 specifically stand out to me for what you described):
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

IOS 6 Broke iPhone/iPod integration on my Pioneer 3200BT
Took the iOS 6 update last night, no problems, painless update for me However when I get in the car this morning and plug my phone in to listen to music on my car stereo (Pioneer 3200BT) it just gives an error code onthe screen and no music whatsoever.
Anyone else?Yes, this just happened to me. My phone will no longer work and the apple screen blinks on and off.

I don't have Safary and facetime after update with IOS 7 my Iphone 4S, and sometimes the Wife is no able.
Howdy syafiqahmad,
If your iMessage and FaceTime still hasn't activated by now, I would recommend you use this specific section of the following article as long as you verify you've done all the other troubleshooting from it for this issue:
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime
If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
Contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Can anyone, help me please?
I have a problem with my iphone 4 Facetime, that since the new ios 7 system has been installed, I cannot use the FACETime? I don't know where to turn? I have contacted a retailer here in Isreal, and I've contacted the Cell come company and I've contacted the repair shop... each one pushes me off on someone else.
I cannot make any FACETIME calls.... anywhere................ helpHmm, I see from the Apple Support webpage it seems you cannot call them directly from Israel, that's not good.
Okay, so FaceTime stopped working once you upgraded to iOS 7 is that the situation? It doesn't work over either cellular or WiFi networks? I assume you have checked the Settings>FaceTime>FaceTime switch is on and that you have your correct Apple ID in there as well?
What happens when you launch the FaceTime app and attempt to make a FaceTime call, what message(s) do you get? -
FaceTime & Messages now won't open on my iPad. Now no toggle switch in settings. Log in with my Apple ID sends activation error message 'try again'. Both Apps work on my iPhone & Mac.Any help?
Adjusting the date or time didn't do anything for me either. I'm guessing my two options are to either do the full restore from scratch and not apply any backup ... Or possibly wait for an iOS update that might resolve this issue.
I'm not that much of an avid twitter user that I need it implemented natively in all my devices - so for now I'll probably value all my game save data, internal settings in apps e.t.c. over that functionality (or over the amount of work it would be to get me back to where I am now after a full wipe). I'll see what happens after the next iOS delta update. I'll reevaluate the full wipe after that if the issue hasn't been resolved -
I have the iphone 4 and just updated to iOS 6 and all my text messages are gone. Can I get them back?
Group messaging simply puts all replies in one conversation in Messages. It doesn't prevent the behavior you experienced.
My suggestion which would be much easier in my opinion, is rather than do a text, send out an email and use bcc: , which will keep the audience hidden from each recipient.
Otherwise, if you're determinted to do only texts, the only way is to send your message to one person at a time. You can of course copy/paste your msg each time which might be helpful. -
I have never updated ios on my iPhone 4. I am currently running ios 4. I tried to update yesterday to ios 6 but many hours into the backup I got an error message saying that continuing would cause all of my phone contents to be lost. What should I do?
Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards. -

I recently started using iPhone 4S. But I can't make messaging to anyone. It is updated to iOS 6. Everytime I send message, it shows me message is not delivered! Is it an issue with all iPhone 4S, iOS 6?? Help me! Thanks in advance !!
Try resetting your phone by holding down the home and off button until the apple symbol comes up. Then if still doing, restore your phone in itunes from your backup.

Ask the person who owns the iPhone.
Which version of Cydia appears on the iPhone - the one
with the black and white icon or a different one?
If it was jailbroken, contact the developers of the jailbreak.
Not all jailbreaks can be completely removed.
Google may provide some direction. -
Hi, since I've bought the iphone, my facetime never works, I just can't activate the facetime in settings, when I put it on, after some time, the phone shows the message: activation unsuccesful. Do you guys know what should I do?
Where are you, what network are you on and where did you get the phone?
If you are on an unsupported network, Facetime may never be able to activate. If the phone originated in a different country, facetime is probably trying to send an International text message to activate. If you don't have International text messaging, it will fail.
