  • IPhone Restarts When Receiving a Text from Android

    A person I know has started sending me text messages with characters my iPhone 5 can't read (or that's what I think is happening). Whenever I get these texts my phone restarts once for each text I receive. The exact same thing happens to my friend who has a 4S. Then whenever I hit the Messages app it crashes immediately. I can only reply to texts if I hit the notification when I receive one from a different person.
    The way I've found to fix this is to use Siri to send a message to someone but hit the actual message, it loads up the different chats and I can delete the entire thing. Then he'll send another. Without paying $4 a month to block the number, how can I prevent this from happening? It's that string of arabic letters that completey screws over the phone.

    May just be something in her contact info (corrupt contact picture or something) that causes code to lock up.
    I would suggest deleting contact from phone.
    Then delete contact from your address book on computer you sync with.
    Then add contact back to computer fresh.
    Then sync to get it back on phone.
    Then reset any settings for that contact (ringtone etc).
    Also note if her contact is the only one that uses a custom ringtone you may have, it could also be the ringtone.
    Note, I am just guessing on this stuff but would be a logical course of action to take to determine.

  • Iphone 5 freezing when receiving or responding to text messages

    I have a 16GB iPhone 5. Ever since updating to iOS 6 my phone has been freezing for 2-5 seconds when receiving a text or trying to respond to a text. The text notifications on the home screen are often delayed when a message comes in. I have restored the phone from icloud back up. This solved the problem for maybe 1 day. Rebooting the phone helps for few minutes. I find it hard to believe that this would be any kind of hardware issue.

    Yes it's happening to me to I have no clue if it's the software or my iphone

  • Is there a way to have iphone 4 blink when receiving a text message?

    I just switched over to iphone4 from a blackberry and wanted to know if there is a setting that allows the iphone to blink red or green when receiving a text message, much like the blackberry does. my phone is on silent and, without a function like this, i am unable to tell when i am receiving a text message. if there are any other things that would allow for notification as well, please let me know! also, is there a text message icon that can appear at the top of the phone, like the lock icon? thanks a lot!

  • Iphone will not receive emails

    I recently changed my password on both my yahoo account and itunes account.  i have an ipad and an iphone.   My ipad is receiving emails under my old password, and my iphone will not receive emails under the new or old password.  when I try to enter password for email under setting on iphone, it gives me the message that the yahoo server is unavailable.  again, my ipad has no problems receiving emails nor does my wife on her iphone. 

    I don't have any other email accounts on my phone and I don't get any type of error message.  It just says "Checking for Mail" and I receive nothing, so I know that it is accessing my work email system.  I haven't made any changes to my account.  I only accepted the message to update my carrier system.....I do have an appointment with the local Verizon store to see if they can help.
    Just FYI, my Exchange email account still works on my iPad, so I'm pretty sure the settings are correct.

  • No alert sound when receiving email

    anyone with a fix, please help.

    This sounds like a well-known problem which has been discussed over in the Mail discussions for quite a long time.

  • HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

  • Random delay in receiving emails in Apple Mail

    Hi Everyone:
    I've searched online about this problem but I didn't find anything helpful for my situation. I'm hoping someone here can help me. The problem I'm having is that there is a delay in receiving emails in Apple Mail—and it's happening in random. Here's a list of things that pertain to the problem:
    1. Delays in receiving emails vary from 1 hour to 1 day. The delayed emails are actually sitting on the incoming email server and can be seen via webmail using a browser. So, to me, apparently this is a problem with Apple Mail not downloading the new email where it's clearly received on the server.
    2. The same delayed email, when resent by the sender a few times, randomly downloaded by Apple Mail in no particular order. One of the resent emails arrived with no delay while others are delayed again. This is one same email from one same sender.
    3. This problem happens on Macs running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.x), Lion (10.7.x), and Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x). Different Macs, different email user accounts, same domain name. But, some other Macs with other user accounts on the same domain name have never had this problem ever.
    4. Besides this problem of delayed emails, I've also noticed another problem that seems to tag along: read emails or trashed emails will show up in the Inbox as unread/new emails the next day.
    The steps I've taken so far:
    1. Talked and had the email server provider checked the server and the delayed emails with long headers, and they found nothing wrong with the email server functions. I concurred as I can see the emails not delayed if I use the webmail/browser.
    2. Rebuilt the email account in Apple Mail, reset keychain to the email account, clear cache, fixed permissions on the Mac with the problem.
    And the problem persists...

    I am having a similiar problem with emails sent to my 10.6 xserve. 
    I have noticed most, if not all, of the problems are connected to email coming from google servers i.e. [email protected]  As I also administer a google business account I contacted Google and when they looked into it indicated this sometime has something to do with google's 'Undo Send" function.  However in my case google is indicating it is an issue on my server with no further explination. 

  • How can I request a return receipt when sending email from Leopard Mail?

    Has anyone found a way to request return receipts when sending email with Leopard Mail?

    see this [link|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7244096&#7244096].
    However,
    this is only possible if the email client of the e-mail receiver supports this feature and it is turned on. if it doesn't support it or it supports it but the feature is turned off there is absolutely nothing you can do.

  • No or low sound when receiving a text. Volume is fine for incoming phone calls.

    After the latest software update, I can not hear any sound when receiving a text. However I can hear sound when I receive a call.

    Hello LEC2,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I would first check to make sure that your sound options for your alert tones is set correctly.  Please look at the following link for more information:

    If that doesn't resolve the issue, also take a look at this link:

    Take care,

  • TS3899 When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address.  This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account.  It is frustrating and poor design.

    When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps on my iPad, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address.  This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account.  It is frustrating and poor design, especially since I had already checked the From: address.
    iPad 4 running iOS 8.1.3

    3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
    Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.

  • Using iPad2, when receive photo in e-mail it displays OLD photo instead.

    Using iPad2, when receive photo in e-mail it now displays OLD photo that had been received and saved instead. Why and how to rectify?

    This problem only applies when attempting to receive photos that were sent in special format from iPhoto.  No problem receiving photos sent as attachment to normal e-mail.

    I'm unable to send and receive email through Apple Mail 4.  I've checked my settings on Preferences, and my password to Gmail is up to date for syncing with IMAP, but it still won't connect.  Suggestions?

    I think it's trying to open it in a gMail eMail & is losing your gMail password that it needs log into gMail, but not 100% positive.
    Have you tried Right clicking or Control+click on the eMail link & choose Copy? Works on some, not others.
