IPhone 3Gs is not sorting Text Messages

My iPhone 3Gs does not sort the text messages by time or date, which I thought was the default for cellular phones...
In fact I don't see them being sorted by any order at all. How do I get the iPhone to sort the text messages by date?
Thanks.

Hm... mine doesn't always seem to do that.
Often i'll have to scroll through the long list of conversations to see where the little blue bullet comes up.
I guess i'll suggest it to Apple.
Thanks.
Nice that they actually accept suggestions.

    As noted above, there are no viruses that can affect an unjailbroken iPhone. If your iPhone is jailbroken, we cant help you. If it is not jailbroken, you don't have a virus. What is going wrong with your phone that is causing you to believe you have a virus?

  • My Iphone 4 will not send text messages to one contact

    A week ago my friend just stopped receiving my text messages.  I have an Iphone 4 on Verizon and she has a Samsung Smart phone on Sprint network.  I am able to get hers and when I reply mine look as if they are going through but she does not get them. I have tried deleting her as a contact, re-entering her..she has done the same on her end. I have reset settings and nothing helps! Any ideas?? We thought it was her phone and she took it to Sprint an it is not. I am able to send and receive text messages to all of my other contacts.

    Reset network settings in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
    Sometimes something hinky goes on with the cell coverage, and that's one way to try to fix it.

  • Iphone 5 will not type text messages in vertical position.  Only in landscape position??

    My iphone 5 will only allow me to type and send text messages while holding it in a horizontal/landscape position. (screen is not locked).  How do I fix this?

    Hello there, clm90.
    When having issues with normal iOS functionality, the following Knowledge Base article offers up some good pointers to attempt resolving them:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
    In your case, step 4 may not be applicable, but the remaining steps can be useful in pinpointing a solution.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • Iphone 5 will not deliver text messages

    I phone 5 will not send or receive text messages, red message pops up "Not Delivered".  It will send and receive text messages only if a picture is attached.  I have confirmed with my service provider that text messaging is included and part of the phone service.  iMessage and FaceTime when turned on says "waiting for activation".  Took the phone to Apple store the other day.  After 3 hours they reset the phone several times, checked the software, and did who know what else only to tell me iMessage was down or being worked on and it should work in a little while.  To ensure it was not a hardware issue I pressed Apple for a little insurance, they swaped the orgnal phone for a new phone.  This did not fix the issue.  Still no text message.

    Having the same problem here. Stuck at work so I haven't had a chance to look into it, but everything else (data/voice/etc) works fine, so I have a hard time believing the phone is to blame. Anyone else experiencing this?

  • Iphone 5 receives text messages but will not send text messages

    Since yesterday my boyfriends iphone 5 will not send text messages. He can receive them but when he goes to reply it doesnt work. He has turned his phone off and on and that seems to work for awhile but then the same problem happens again where he cannot send a text message. Was wondering if there was any way in fixing this or why his phone is all of a sudden doing this.

    So I should update this. The phone actually loses service, I have reset the network connection as well as I have updated the carrier settings and the phone is still losing service randomly. I called the carrier and they told me there is nothhing they can do unless we bring the phone in, they believe it could be the sim card because everything on their end looks to be fine. So I'll be going to the carrier store this evening to see if they can fix the problem if not then I will be going to the apple store. Do hope this problem gets fixed soon. 

  • Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone will not send text messages to some numbers.

    Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone 5 will not send text messages to some numbers?

    I had problems the first few days with text messaging on my new cell. I checked my new contract service thru AT&T online, and it turned out the guy who set up my phone didn't sign me up for the unlimited texting I told him I HAD to have!  I just had to add texting back into my contract.....problem solved.  I hope your problem is solved this easily.

    Have you tried logging out of your Apple ID with iMessage followed by logging back in?

  • I just got the new iOS5 update for the iPhone 3GS and I cannot receive messages because it says that the SMS is full. I deleted all my texts, but still cannot receive texts. Is there something I can do???, I cannot receive texts with the new iOS5 update

    Hi everyone, I just got the new iOS5 update for my iPhone 3GS. I receive a message saying that "Your SMS mailbox is full. New messages cannot be recieved until you delete some messages." I deleted all of my messages but still could not receive texts after restoring and restarting my phone. Can anything be done to remedy this??? Thanks!

    Apple is screwing the pooch on this one.  Need to call in and be vocal. 

  • My iphone 4s voice dictation for text messages is not consistently working. Sometimes it works, other times after the dictation it just gives me a blank space. Anyone else having this problem?

    My iphone 4s voice dictiation for text messages is not consistently working. I've had the phone since Thanksgiving and it always worked perfectly, but the last few weeks it's been hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Anyone else having this problem? I tried the hard reset but that hasn't fixed it.

    I have the same problem since updating to IOS 8.3. Any app to which I want to send a new link via IMessage does not allow me to select a contact to send the IMessage to. Using a pre-existing thread does not have same problem.
