IPhone 5 SMS bug
I just got my iPhone 5 a few days ago. Set it up as a new iPhone, synced contacts via iCloud, used it as normal. I noticed iMessage was off, so proceeded to turn it on. Activation was quick. HOWEVER, I could not send iMessages. I solved this problem with my iPhone 4 by turning iMessage off, restarting the phone then turning it on. It worked with the iPhone 5. I was able to send one iMessage. Then when I tried to send another, it would not send. I thought iMessage was having problems, so I left it like that. Whenever I would send an SMS, it would send at the speed of an iMessage (using wifi). For example, if I were to send a 120 character text to 15 people, it would instantly send. I restored my phone (on 6.0.2) and bug is gone. However, restoring from backup brought that bug up again. Has anyone else experienced this?
just don't restore it from backup.

Why my iphone produces a bug after it renew for OS5.1.1. The bug is when I use message, type a Chinese word, and then using a releveant word, then the program automately closes. Every time I try the same procedure, it definitely closes.
Nobody knows? Not even administrators?
Please it would be really nice to have help on that to take all the benefit of the remote app.
Thank you very much in advance. -
When using "My Account" (bookmark), there's 2 field to insert.
One is "Wireless Number" and the other one is "Password".
I found out I mistyped one of the number of "Wireless Number"
after typing in 10 characters.
That field is 10 digit(phone # with area code) and I couldn't insert anything.
I mean even "backspace"(erase) didn't work.
Which means I couldn't change anything after typing in 10 characters.
I think it's definitely iPhone keyboard entry bug.
Please fix it ASAP.Please call 1-800-My-iPhone to report this issue. A friendly Agent can log this and get it to the proper department.

IPhone 3G - SMS /Test Messaging Options?
Can anyone tell me if there are any iphone settings or downloadable apps that can change the current look of how sms messages appear on screen. Rather than the bubble conversation look, can you set up folders to store messages in? Can you change the look to single view messages only, etc, etc?
I am having a similar issue, though it is not a "phantom" message.
I get a text message and it'll chime.
If I don't "read" the message/don't touch the phone and allow it to go back to sleep, the SMS tone chimes again about 4-5 minutes later but it does not activate the screen.
Thinking I have a new text, I will activate the screen and see that it was the SMS text I had received 5 minutes earlier and there is, in fact, no new message.
Is this just an alert that you had received a message earlier or is this a bug? -
my droid phone AUTOMATICALLY synched with my gmail account!!!! It backed up SMS,call logs calenders etc,etc. I can't find anything or anyone that can explain how to do this without it costing money!!! can anyone help??
When you sync your iPhone with your computer its contents are backed up. There are backup extractors that will let you view and save the contents of the backup. http://bit.ly/s2dlrq

A fix for the iTunes -- iPhone indefinite sync bug
Moderators feel free to move this to the appropriate place. I was having this problem for a while now. I'd connect my iphone and it would sync forever. I'd have to manually abort the sync. This led to stuff never actually syncing, and music disappearing from my iPhone. I did some Googling and came up with some solutions, and I tried one myself and it worked perfectly.
1. In iTunes, go to preferences, then go to Devices. Make sure the box is checked, that says "Prevent iPhones, iPods, and iPads from syncing automatically. Press OK.
2. If your iDevice is already connected, and already "infinitely syncing" you will have to manually stop the sync at this time. If not, connect your iDevice.
3. Still in iTunes, click on your device in the left-hand column, and go to the Music tab.
4. Uncheck the big box at the top that says "Sync Music"
5. Click the "Apply" button in the lower right-hand corner.
6. WAIT PATIENTLY. This will take a VERY long time. It WILL look like it is still hanging indefinitely, but I promise you, it is not. It took about 30 minutes for me, and the entire time it said "Finishing Sync." I thought it wasn't even going to work, but eventually, I noticed it started updating Podcasts, and a bunch of other stuff, presumably accumulated changes over the duration of this bug. I think at this time it is also file-checking your entire iDevice, presumably because of all those times you had to manually interrupt the synchronization.
7. After the iPhone fully completes its sync, Re-check the "Sync Music" box, and click Apply again. For best results, just pick your 1 or 2 favorite playlists to sync right now, then later tonight you can sync back your entire library, and leave it to sync as you watch TV or eat dinnner or what not... don't force yourself to sit through syncing thousands of songs if you don't have to, lol.
It is working for me after following these steps. I have NOT tried setting iTunes back to automatic syncs (undoing Step #1). I'd imagine that doing so will re-trigger the bug. You're welcome to try, and I will maybe try tonight when I am free, but for now, I'm actually late for class, but I really wanted to share this because I know this is a pretty big issue, especially if you love music like I do.Backup, restore as a new device, restore your backup.

IPhone e-Mail bug: Text cut off below a picture
Hi Guys,
Just discovered a very annoying bug in iPhone's mail client: If you are creating a new e-mail and paste a picture into it, the text below the picture will be cut off completely. So if you have a mail: "text before [PICTURE] text after" then it will only send: "test before [PICTURE]" and the "text after" will be dissapeared to the thin air.
This is rather annoying and I would consider it as a serious bug.
Tamas
PS: I use iPhone 5 and iOS 6.1 and use Exchange mail settings for accessing Gmail (to get push notifications from Gmail)Hi 1980LND,
Thanks for your help, I am not convienced if backup and restore would help. In the meanwhile I have found few discussions about this from 2010 -- Apple blames Microsoft Outlook protocol for this, but in my opinion this is wrong. If that is a known bug Apple should really warn their customers about losing data if they try to do that. Or just fix it even if Microsoft broke some RFCs. But yeah, with a message box with the warning "Due to a bug in Outlook protocol you are going to lose your text below the picture. Do you really want to continoue and lose the text below your picture? [I am Dumb Yes] [God No!]" would be sufficient, just do not let me hang and wonder where my text evaporated.
Thanks again

Messages sending to iPhone as SMS instead of iMessage
I have an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.3 and a MacBook Pro 17" running OS X Yosemite (10.10.2). My wife has an iPhone 6 and a MacBook running an older version of OS X. Occasionally when I try to send her an iMessage using the OS X Messages app, it tries to send the message as SMS instead of iMessage. This usually fails because cell phone service at my rural home is spotty at best. Why, when my Mac and both iPhones have solid wi-fi connections to my AirPort Extreme, would it send messages as SMS?
Hi Ian,
If you are having an issue with sending SMS text messages, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

IPhone 5 two bugs in photo app.
Sorry, don't know where to submit bug reports... hope this place is okay.
Bug #1 - photos are not properly fit to screen. To see this, take a screenshot of the home screen, or, say, of your favorite video game on the iPhone 5. Now, look at that photo in the photo app, and double-tap it as needed to "fit" that photo to the screen. You'll notice black space at the bottom of the photo, and the top part of the photo is off-screen. So, if you took a screenshot of the home screen, the "menu bar" (or whatever it's called) will be off-screen.
Bug #2 - the "cancel" button that comes up in the delete menu doesn't work. Try to delete a photo, then hit the cancel button. You'll see the button is only barely functional - only the top sliver of the cancel button seems to accept input.#1 was in reference to screenshots, not camera photos. Screenshots should obviously be the same aspect ratio as the screen. In any event, fitting a photo to screen (even if it has a different aspect ratio) should not cause part of the photo to go off-screen. I'm not talking about "letterboxing" here... the black space in question is ONLY on the bottom of the photo, not the top - the top part instead goes off-screen. That is definitely a bug, and I have verfied that I don't get that bug in on my old iPhone4 (updated to iOS6.) I don't have a 4S so I can't test it on that.
I have also verfied that bug #2 does not happen on my iPhone4. -
