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.

  • 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.

  • Iphone 5 / iOS 6.0 bug: Video sound no longer playing in lock screen

    Hi,
    With my iPhone 4 I was able to listen so the sound of a video, even if I went to the lock screen. With my iPhone 5 and iOS 6.0 this is no longer possible. When I start e.g., a music video in the video app and
    then go to the lock screen, the video an sounds stops. A double click on the home button shows the play button, but if pressed, the sound of the video won't play. If I press the forward / rewind button, a track of the music player will start to play. With previous versions listening to videos was possible while being on the lock screen / screen was turned off. Is there a fix for this bug? Has anyone the same problems? Would be great to listen to my music videos again...
    Bye
    Chris

    I'm having the same problem. Incredibly frustrating as this was a major use of the iphone when I had IOS5.
    Apple, please fix this!

  • IPhone 5 IOS 6.0 Bugs

    So far i've had the iPhone 5 since the day it was released and have noticed many bugs/glitches in the IOS 6.0  software on the phone. First the iTunes app is messed up and doesnt work at times. The next thing was the tones on my phone got locked up and even if you changed the tone, the phone would still play the original tone you had before. I tried everything , even taking away all tones for all different types of alerts, email, im's etc. and the phone still was churping out tones. i had no choice to fix this by reseting the phones data part to get it to work normally. The other thing was the facebook integration in the pull down menu bar. It was missing until i did the data reset.The auto brightness control doesnt work.  Now the latest thing is the battery issue. Before the data reset, the phone would go 9-10 hours with normal use, emails, texts, internet. Now , after the data reset , im lucky it lasts 4 hours . The battery drains a percent or more every 5 min or more, even without being used. I really hope Apple comes out with fixes.

    When you reset the phone did you check all of your settings to make sure nothing was turned on that you originally had turned off? I haven't experienced the issue you mentioned with tones locking up or the issue with FB intergration. Auto brightness works the same as it did on the 4/4s for me so I haven't had that issue either. Oh and I haven't had any issues with the  iTunes app. Not saying there isn't a bug with these things...I just haven't run into them yet (knock on wood). You should report any bug issues to Apple so they are aware of them...the more people report them the more likely they will be addressed in the next update.

  • IPhone 6 iOS 8 iMessage not working

    I just purchased a brand new iPhone today and I set up my iCloud and iMessage but when I try to send a message, the text bubble still turns up green. I have a secure Wifi contecttion and I am messaging with someone who has their iMessaging turned on as well. I tried to reset the network, reset all settings, turn iMessage on and off, restart the phone. Nothing is working. It says that iMessage is turned on but the text bubbles are still green.

    All I can say is that ATT is working but my wife and I did get a few green messages first.  Try this thread and see if it helps.  Green messages
    Good luck.

  • IPhone 5S iOS 7: iMessage / SMS Haptic Feedback

    Two issues here:
    How can I stop my iPhone from notifying me twice over about a text (not the double vibrate from a text, but a double vibrate then another one about two minutes later even though a new text has not come in)?
    How can I stop my iPhone from telling me (both visually and with haptic feedback) that an iMessage failed to send despite successfully and automatically sending as a text? Tell me that after all options are exhausted and it fails, not when it fails in iMessage then succeeds in SMS.
    Thanks...

  • I'm receiving some personnal SMS (through iOS 5 imessage) on an old iphone I've already sold. How to avoid that?

    Hi,
    I used to have an iPhone 3GS, which I recently upgraded to iOS 5 and sold. This device doesn't have any of my personnal information inside anymore (several resets and reinstall iOS5 from an blank iTunes on a seperate computer) and doesn't have my chip inside anymore.
    I am using a new smartphone (not Apple) now and when I text friends who have iPhone (with iOS 5 and iMessage), I receive some of the personnal responses on the old iPhone. It seems those messages are sent through iMessage...
    How to avoid that? I sold this iPhone and I don't want the buyer to receive my personnal message + I don't want to miss them on my new phone!
    Thanks for the help.
    Franck.

    I would suggest you read the user guide.  There IS no Facetime App for the iPhone.

  • I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5s and now iMessage will not verify my email. It has said "Verifyng" since yesterday, but has not sent a verification email. I checked my iCloud settings for that email address and it shows "pending".

        I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5s and now iMessage will not verify my email address to use to send/ receive messages. It has said "Verifyng" beside it in settings since yesterday, but has not sent a verification email. I have also tried Adding it as a new email address several times, but get the same outcome.  I can still send/ receive texts from my phone number, just not from the email address.
         In my iCloud settings under Contact Information for that email address and it shows "pending".  When I select "Resend Verification Email" I get "Cannot Connect to iCloud".

  • Imessage will not activate on Iphone 5, iOS 6.0.2.

    Imessage will not activate on iphone 5, iOS 6.0.2. My apple ID and password are correct, and I have wifi. I try to log in and it says "could not sign in. please check your wireless connection and try again". Help!

    You could try activating it while connected to a different wifi network.  You could also see if your router has a firmware update available and changing your router's settings to use Google's public DNS to see if that helps (see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using).

    A good read. Have you done anything at all to resolve your problem. Reset? Restore?
    By the way - "your products"... nobody here produced the iPhone, we are all just users. Apple is not here.

    Backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • Why doesn't iMessage with the fourth iPod touch work with iPhones with iOS 5.1 software?

    DId the person with the iPhone activate Messages on his iPhone and has he assigned the number you are call as a Receive At number?

  • Messages on iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1) to Messages 8.0 on OSX Mavericks not working

    Hello All,
    I have a very specific issue with my wifes iPhone 4 on iOS 5.1.1 using Messages to send to my MacBook Pro (MBP) on OSX Mavericks with version 8.0 of Messages.
    I find that when ever she sends me a SMS via Messages going over Apples iCloud, that I don't get the message on the MBP and it shows with a red ! on her iPhone.
    I have tested a number of different situations,
    1) At the moment, both my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.1) and MBP (Messages 8.0) are setup to receive via my mobile number.
    When I send a test SMS from her iPhone to my mobile number, the SMS makes it to my iPhone, but not on the MBP Message, and she has a red ! on the SMS on her iPhone, I can try to resend the SMS a number of times and it never makes it to my MBP.
    2) I then logged out of iMessage on the MBP Message, so only my iPhone is setup to get SMS via iCloud.
    When I send a test SMS from her iPhone to my mobile number, the SMS makes it to my iPhone and all further SMS sent now work and there is no more red ! on her iPhone.
    3) I then logged back into iMessage on the MBP and setup Messages to use my email address only.
    I then send a SMS from her iPhone to my email address, the SMS makes it and I get it on the MBP Messages. I send a second SMS and that works too.
    I then send a third SMS and that fails, there is now a red ! on the iPhone and no message on the MBP. After numerous re-sends and additional SMS to the same email address, I don't get anymore messages to the MBP.
    When looking at the syslog on the MBP, the only logging I have at the time of the SMS' being set are:

    Is anyone aware of a know issue with iOS 5.1.1 on iPhone 4 that has issues sending message via iCloud to Messages on OSX?
    I am not able to reinstall iOS 5.1.1 as it's not allowed anymore, I can't upgrade to iOS 6.1.x as that is not allowed either.
    I don't want to upgrade to iOS 7.1 as it's slow as anything on an iPhone 4 and Apple should have left iOS 6 as the last version for iPhone 4
    Thanks
    Josh

    Thank you for the comment and the link.
    Unfortunately what you have said is not very helpful and untrue. I have not caused the issues here, there seems to be a bug or design issues here between iOS 5.1.1 and Message 8.0 on OSX. That is what I am asking about.
    Maybe what you may mean by your response is that by not upgrading to iOS 7.1, it will not be fixed.
    But you can't say 100% that upgrading to iOS 7.1 is the fix, as you don't know 100% what the issue/bug/fault is.
    As an aside, I am looking for a solution apart from updating from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 7.1.
    I do run iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 4 and have disabled as much as possible and it's still not as good as iOS 6 for speed and regret the upgrade.

Maybe you are looking for
