IOS 7 iMessage bug

I have had several problems with sending pictures via iMessage since updating to iOS 7.
The first problem is when I am on a wifi network, and talking on the phone. iOS has essentially refused to send pictures/images over iMessage in this scenerio. This problem has been partially resolved in the iOS 7.1 update. Now, if I choose the "camera button" next to the text box from within the conversation, all goes as expected over iMessage. If I choose the picture I want to send from "Pictures" and select "send as... message" Then select the recipients name, the picture will be sent as a text message. Once I am no longer talking on the phone, iMessage will resume sending as normal from either location. Again this happens when I am connected to wifi so this is not a LTE/4G/EDGE switching issue.
The second problem I have is that sometimes pictures will just plain not send when choosing the picture I want to send from "Pictures" and select "send as... message". When this happens it causes my phone to temporarily freeze for a few moments. Then the phone proceeds as if it had sent the message. However upon checking the conversation, it becoems clear that the message never sent or was never "added to" the conversation. This happens at random and usually restarting my phone will resolve the problem temporarily. Sending pictures seems to only consistently work when attaching them from within the conversation itself.
It should also be noted that the "send as..." feature only breaks down with sending iMessages/text messages. "send as... email" works flawlessly every time.
Anyway of the many numerious bugs I have encountered in iOS 7 this one is by far the most obnoxious that I have encountered. I was hoping it would be resolved in the iOS 7.1 update but it looks like maybe I set the expectation bar too high for this incrimental update.
My hardware is an iPhone 5.
I asked the guys at the Apple store about it and they gave me the usual propaganda induced response that they are required to give. "We never heard of that. iOS is perfect *big toothy grin* "
I plan to try a clean install of iOS to see if it resolves the problem (not restoring from backup), but that is a time consuming process and I don't have the time for that right now.
iOS 7 has been somewhat of a disapointemnt. I still can't wrap my head around how simply changing the look and feel of iOS would require Apples developers to break half of the features that worked flawlessly in iOS 6.

I started having this issue about a month ago. Exactly as you described: especially when a text has an attached photo. Sometimes it is sent as a text message (green), sometimes it will fail completely. FYI, upgrading to 7.1 didn't fix the issue. Another observation is that if it is sent as a text message (without a failure), the recepient receives it but it either takes a while for them to see it, or it doesn't notify them. I had a few friends saying that they didn't even know they got the message until they intentionally went back to our thread and noticed it was sitting there for a while as green but they didn't hear it coming through. So i think on their end it's the same. it attempts to receive and when it finally does, its makes that quite sound like the one when you are actively on the screen, but not the usual tri-tone.
Both receivers confirmed multiple times that they were home or some other place where they are certain to have at least 4G or LTE. So it has to be the bug in the system, and not my or the recepients settings.

Numbers instead of Contacts iOS Imessage

Hi I am trying to use Imessage for the first time. I was wondering for the iOS imessage why a person's number is coming up instead of the contact name? when I went i talk with people who have Imessage, their number comes up instead of their contact name in the message. This is very confusing because when I look back at all of the messages it says the contact names and I still have all my contacts. Is anyone else having this problem? I know for my one friend who just got his iOS imessage, my email appears rather then my contact name. thanks! -Fallon

But that is not my phone number. Very strange, I suppose if i at least set it to my email, friends will have a clue who I am in the meantime-while i try to figure out why a different number is coming up...
Thanks for your advice.

My britness on my iphone 5 was on 100 % and I turn my screen off and after ten min I turn it back on and the screen was on 0% while the britness line on settings was on 100% is it an IOS 6 bug or is my iphone borking???

My britness on my iphone 5 was on 100 % and I turn my screen off and after 10min i turn it back on and the screen was on 0% while the britness line on settings was on 100% is it an IOS 6 bug or is my iphone broking???

I've seen that happen sometimes. For me, pressing the lock button to lock it, and then pressing the home button to get to the lock screen reverts it back. If that doesn't work, just move your brightness slider lower and then higher again.

Another iOS packager bug

Came across another bug in iOS packager. In my project I have a function looking like this:
private function sample():Object
var iValue:int = 10;
return false ? iValue : null;
It correctly returns 'null' if packaged in ipa-debug-interpreter, apk-captive-runtime modes or if running in ADL. But it returns '0' if packaged in ipa-ad-hoc mode. I had to spend a whole day to figure out where is the problem. This is not the first type cast issue I came across. And it takes a lot of effort everytime to debug (10 minutes to build the project!). I'm breaking a dead line giving my customer an excuse that 'Adobe packager for iOS does not work right'. Which sounds like total BS of course. Adobe, please, get this straight. It is hard enough to develop with AIR for mobile. Bugs like this one make it much worse. Either way, I'm planning to advocate for using native tools in our next projects.

I'm still using AIR 3.2. Unfortunately, I don't have a chance to try latest AIR 3.4 at the moment. But I will check the same code when I update AIR SDK.
The code I posted is not a real code of course. I had to strip some logic and modify operators a bit. But I had hoped the bug would still reproduce. From my experience, most of the iOS packager bugs are caused by the rules of type casting that are not AS3 compliant. I have an impression that type casting rules used in the packager are more like classic C type casting rules. As the result, same code executes differently on iOS and Android|Windows. And it has being a huge problem for me.

Possibly one of the biggest iPhone 5 or iOS 6 bugs - Misuse of Data

My iPhone 5 keeps sending and receiving data when an iCloud account is configured on the device. It never stops to receive and send data; therefore, this is causing Verizon data overages. The cellular data counter in settings just keeps going up. This occurs when no apps are active. I am averaging about 2 to 3 kb of data a second being used, which adds up. Is this an iOS 6 bug?
Resetting the phone to factory defaults or uninstalling third party apps does not resolve the issue.

Just do the Verizon update - Settings > General > About then accept the update & reboot your phone. It should fix your problem

Any solution to the iOS 6 bug for auto lock function for the iPhone 4S

Any solution to the iOS 6 bug for auto lock function for the iPhone 4S

My guess is they don't care. Most likely they're illiterate and don't know what a colon is for. They probably think it's a little-used character. Remember: these are the people who don't know the difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate".
I have the same colon problem as you do. But it's not the biggest problem I have encountered in Lion. If it was only that I'd be Mr. Delighted with Lion. There's worse than having a colon - uh - that won't cooperate. A lot worse, in Lion.

IPhone apps not resuming after phone call - iOS 7 bug

iPhone apps not resuming after phone call - iOS 7 bug
With iOS 6, while playing music on Spotify or playing Candy Crush, etc, if the phone rang and I answered, or if I made a call, once the call was ended, the app I was using would resume. The music would start playing again or the game would resume.
In iOS 7 this isn't working. Listening to music, I answer a call, music stops and when call is ended, nothing! the phone stays on the phone app.
anybody else see this behaviour?
thanks!

Any ideas anyone?
thanks

Problem with iOS 7 - picture/video iMessages bug?

I've been trying to send this in as feedback but it hasn't been going through. So I'll post it here. Maybe someone has an answer, or maybe it's a bug that Apple needs to look at.
I think these are bugs. First of all, I love that we can now send up to 20 items that include both video and pictures.
1) When sending images or videos via iMessage, it doesn't always work. It may work after I quit the photos and messages app a few times and then try to send, but if I send some and try to send some more right after (straight from the photos app), they don't go through. I get the message window open and I choose the recipient and I hit send, but nothing happens after that. The only way I've been able to get around it is to select the items and copy and paste them directly into the messages app. Please fix this, it would make things much more efficient.
2) when there are multimedia messages, the messages app does not archive them in the conversation. Meaning, when you scroll up in a conversation, it continues to scroll up and the app loads every single message at once rather than giving you the option to pull down to load more. I've noticed that is still there when the messages are all text. But when there are pictures/videos involved, they don't get archived and this severely impacts loading time when opening up the messages. Sometimes they won't open at all and freeze because of all the memory it requires just to load everything. It happens on my end as well as with the person on the other end of the conversation - both of us are on iOS 7. I'm on an iPhone 4S and they have an iPhone 5. This has been happening since the upgrade to iOS 7.
These are pretty big bugs and should be addressed ASAP. Thanks.

I have had numerous problems with sending media in messages either from messages or from photos app as well.
In general it seems this new os version was kind of rushed and is still very buggy throughout. the 7.1 update should rectify the most common issues (i hope), but definitely try the feedback page again.

Latest iPhone 5/iOS 6 bug: iMessages Disappearing

Really, could the iPhone 5 and iOS 6 be ANY BUGGIER? Perhaps what I'm reading about quality control at apple on the decline are true?
Today's issue: iMessages seem to be disappearing. I sent an iMessage, and just like that, the whole thread of texts are gone. I reboot the phone and nothing. The whole exchange is gone.
Anyone else experiencing this? NOT happy.

I just experienced this same problem on iOS6 but with the 4s. I was in mid text conversation with a friend that has a year's worth of text exchange and as I hit send, I saw the entire thread disappear. It now starts with that message I had just sent. I've restarted the phone and done soft restores several times to no avail. This happened yesterday and the imessage still hasn't come back yet. I NEED THAT THREAD BACK. Apple, please fix this asap.

IPhone 5, iOS 7. iMessage bug?

Ever since I updated my phone, it won't send iMessages. Please. Please. Please help. I'm begging, kind sirs and ma'ams. ;~;
thank you in advance. c:

I have same issue on iPhone 4S and iphone 5. Have rebooted each time iMessage stops sending messages.
Hopefully a fix comes soon. I'm turning off iMessage for now.

Anyone else have an iMessage bug in iOS 7 where it shows a person tying back when actually they aren't?

I have an issue with iOS7 where it will show that the person I am messaging is typing a reply or a second message when the actually are not. I know this because a couple times I have sent a message while it shows the typing icon to a person who has read receipts on and it will just say "delivered" and "read" when if they are typing to me they would obviously see my message and it would say "read" instantly. It's just annoying for when I'm waiting for someone to finish typing before I reply and it just shows them typing forever when actaully they are waiting for my response... Thoughts anyone?

The other person might be typing a message to someone else or using an entirely different app. Don't freak out until you can confirm that you've failed to receive a message that was actually sent to you.

Yosemite and iOS iMessage Syncing Problem

I am SO frustrated. I've read forum after forum and CANNOT seem to set up text message forwarding. I've signed into just one apple id across all of the devices (@icloud.com), I've selected receive from and only had my email address selected. I've toggled the iMessage on and off on my phone (sometimes crashing iMessage - it says it's activating and then says it can't connect to iCloud). I've turned on BlueTooth and tried connecting my devices and then clicking "Enable Test Message Forwarding." Whatever I do, I CANNOT seem to get the activation code to pop up on my laptop. It just won't.
There is a SERIOUS bug in iMessage and this problem only started after I updated to Yosemite and iOS 8, on my new iPhone 5.
Before updating anything, my MacBook Air and my iPhone 4 were working together beautifully. After updating to Yosemite, suddenly I could receive messages on both devices, but they would show up unread on my phone even though I checked them on my laptop and vice versa and my replies would only show up on the device where the replies originated. When I switched to the other device, conversations appear one sided - I can only see the series of messages my friends sent me in the conversation on the other device (without my replies).
Today, I was furious because I texted someone from my phone while at work and then thought that I never heard from them. I went home to discover that their reply only went to my Macbook Air, which had been sitting at home, closed, on the kitchen table!
I thought I fixed it because one or two messages I sent from my iPhone showed up on my laptop when I used it later in the day. However, I have yet to see this successfully happen again.
PLEASE FIX THIS BUG, APPLE.
Kind regards,
K

Hi,
What I am understanding form your post may not be what you think you are telling me.
Nor does it quite match what I thought I had posted. (post/message is only as good as it is understood by the recipient)
On the iPhone in the iMessages setting remove all additional emails.
Remove the Apple ID you are using for iMessages
Then place in Airplane Mode (ON) which turns everything else Off effectively.
this will leave Messages with just the iPhone number listed when you go back to the settings.
Wait for the iPhone Number to Verify (re-register) with the servers.
Apple IDs
I have an Apple ID I made years ago using an external email address from a Dial up provider.
At the start of iCloud I linked it to iCloud and received an @Me.com email ID either works in iTunes and logging in to the web page for iCloud.
Later I also got an @icloud.com email/ID
Sending an email to @me.com or @iCloud.com gets to my Mail App that lists the @me.com variant.
Emails sent to the original email address do not come through the Apple servers.
iMessages treats each as a separate ID.
It is important that the Apple ID used on the Mac and the first one used as the Apple ID in Messages on the iPhone are the same - even if they are linked elsewhere.
(It can be different to the iCloud setting on each device)
when you add the Apple ID to the iPhone the mac should get the Pop ups to say what the iPhone is using.
Accepting them adds the iPhone number to the Send and Receive options in the Mac version (And th Start conversations from drop down).
At this point on the Mac you should have only two IDs active to Receive and Send (the Apple ID and the iPhone Number).
Text Forwarding should then be enabled on the iPhone, prompting the Mac version to show you the code, which then needs entering on the iPhone.
There are limits to some Model of Mac regarding Handoff and Airplay (my mid 2011 iMac will do Airplay between Macs but not with iOS devices).
I am not sure if there are limits to Text Forwarding though.

3 iOs 5 bugs no one seems to be talking about

I've noticed 3 bugs in iOs 5 that no one seems to be talking about.
1. Sometimes the setup personal hotspot toggle in settings will keep thinking even if you don't tap on it. I believe this contributes to the poor battery life. I've found the only way to stop this is to reboot with home & power buttons.
2. When playing a movie or music the fast forward/search toggle on top is unresponsive. It takes up to 5 times sometimes for it to pick up that my finger is on it, and by this time it's already skipped around so much that it's pointless.
3. This last one is more of an app compatibility issue. Google's search app times out and is useless now since opening Safari and using the search function in the corner works much faster.
APPLE PLEASE ADDRESS THESE ISSUES IN THE NEW iOS UPDATE

List of iOS 6 bugs for iPhone 4s

Ever since I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6, there have been some unfixed bugs and some new ones.
Where do we direct these bugs to? Is it to this forum? I just want to reach out to Apple so that these bugs can be looked at and be fixed. Lets all share our bugs in an orderly fashion so someone from the Apple's engineering department can have a look and study them.
1. Lock screen bug
Sometimes, when you try to swipe to unlock the slider goes right up to the middle and goes back to the start making you stuck there.
Same issue when you receive notifications in your lockscreen, you cant swipe all the way.
Temporary solution:
Press power/lock button once to turn of screen, and press it again to turn it back on. The slide to unlock slider can go all the way through.
2. Screen not turning off/dim
At some rare occasions the when at homescreen, the backlight doesnt dim nor does the phone locks itself. It remains active and drains your battery. This issue does not seem to persist in applications for me.
Temporary solution:
Lock manually, dont wait for it to autolock to prevent battery drain.
3. Battery drain?
I dont seem to experience any battery draining issues in my iPhone 4s. My usage is pretty random. Sometimes, I can be really active. Whereas sometimes, I can use very little. But nevertheless, the iPhone is able to last throughout the day (at least from morning till night) so I can make it in time to charge it for tomorrow's use.
However, I am the only one who is okay with it. And I noticed for me that my battery is able to last longer somehow. I have other friends using iPhone 4s also which experienced serious battery drains after updating.
Status of phone (Mine):
3G on
Bluetooth off
Never closed apps, only turned off navi apps such as Waze
10.3GB storage free
Vibration off, vibration on only on silent
Phone signal in 3G always in 4 - 5 bar
Result: Battery lasts at least a day
Status of phone (friend):
3G off, Edge on
Bluetooth off
Never closed apps, no navi apps were used
9.2GB storage free
Vibration off
Phone signal always in 5 bar
Result: Battery lasts half a day (Ever since iOS6 update)
What have I tried so far?
1. Restore from iTunes
2. Turning off autolock, and switching it back on
What have I not tried?
1. Clean restore : I am trying to avoid this because, my backup contains important info such as over 300 phone numbers. If only Apple allowed "selective restore". I just cant loose those phone numbers.
As you can see, comparing two iPhones with almost similar parameters showed inconsistent results. Even when the phone has sufficient signal the battery drain is inconsistent.
Thats all for now. If anyone else wants to share their bugs, feel free to do so in this thread.

Thank you for responding,
The router I am using is a Linksys, we also tried disconnecting that one and connecting the netgear router we have. The security method is WEP I believe, although I could be wrong.
No one else is having issues with their WiFi, just me. All the laptops are connecting wirelessly, the 2 tablets we have are connecting perfectly fine and all cell phones are connecting.

IOS 8 Bugs

Used to be a confident early adopter of Apple products. Guess I should've known better with how iOS 7 was rolled out. Well, where to start...
Mail app:
- Using All Inboxes of multiple accounts, try to delete multiple emails at once and get error that items could not be deleted. Sure enough, they aren't
- Sometimes refreshing the inbox goes wonky. Blank spaces where messages should be, try to swipe to delete an email, and the touch is off, is swiping the email below it. Have to close the app and reopen it to get the touch lined up
- When swiping to delete an email from the inbox, after it's deleted Apple made the little red line kind of go across the display. Sure, looks pretty, but you can't do anything while that red lines there. Inbox won't scroll or anything. Yeah, it's quick, but in 7 I used to be able to quickly swipe and delete many emails all in a row. Now I have to wait for that red line to finish moving before I can do anything. Is it a big deal? Probably not, but just slows me down compared to how I used to work. Maybe it's not a bug, but thought I'd list it.
Pictures/Movies publish to You Tube
- When taking a video and publishing to you tube, if you select the movie straight from the camera app and try to publish it from there, the you tube publishing page doesn't know you're on wifi so it won't let you upload in HD. You have to cancel that and enter the movie from the photos app and publish it that way, then it will see you're on wifi and let you do HD.
I think these are all I've found so far, but it's a start. The mail app ones are the biggest pain, so I'm just wondering if I'm the only one seeing these.
Thanks for looking.

I had the same issue with my iPhone 5 the other day. I did a hard reset by holding the power and menu button until it restarted. But the problem still happened where it wasn't showing internet results from Bing. Then after 15 minutes, it started working. Also, when I was doing a search, it was a complicated search query and Bing wasn't working in Spotlight. So I tried a simple search like Guardians of the Galaxy and gave it some time and then the results started showing up. After that the complex searches and everything else started working. Hopefully yours works in time like mine did.
