Iphone 5 - SMS not working when imessage not available
I have an iphone 5 (ios 7.0.4). I have imessage set up with "Send as SMS" switched on. However, when I try to send a text to my sister who has an iphone 4s but always has imessage switched off it will not revert to green to send it as an SMS. It will just send it as an imessage and then come up with the message that it is undeliverable. I am also having the same problem sending messages to other iphone users who may not be in a wifi area or who don't have their data on. Every iphone user in my contacts comes up with the blue send button when I type messages whether or not they use imessage! Any ideas as to why this is happening.
There are millions and millions iPhone and I'm one of them that don't have any problem with my Wi-Fi.
Did you check for firmware updates as mentioned earlier?

My voice control in imessage is not working when set in Spanish. Only writes English.
HI,
Voice control not working on Imessage when set to Spanish. Only takes dictation in English. I speak in Spanish and writes whatever in English. Have reset iphone several times as well as I message but does not fix it. Does any one know how I can solve this problem?Voice Control in Messages means you are using Siri, which is where that feature comes from on the keyboard. What languages does it show in Settings > General > Siri > Language?

IF it is a manufacturing defect and you bought the device from Apple or an authorized Apple retailer, then take it into Apple.

My o2 email account does not work when sending from my MAC it will accept incoming mail but not send it gives me a message that o2 account (offline) my mac I have no problem with my iPhone or mac laptop. any suggestions please.
Sorry for the delay...
I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
Thanks for the help, anyway!! -
My iPHONE 5 wifi is NOT working when am 3 feet away from router while my iPhone 4s has full signal all the time.Please help.
The problem would seem to be in the firewall in your router. Have you tried disabling it? I assume you've updated the router firmware, right? Consider bypassing the ISP provided router (using it as a modem only) and unsing another device such as an Aiport Express.

My iphone text tone is not working when I plug in the earphone.
Hi,
My iphone text tone is not working when I plug in the earphone.
My earphone is always plug into the iphone as I use it to answer calls. I notice that iphone does not alert me (sound) when there is a new messages. Instead the text sound is transfer to the earphone speaker.
As the earphone is plug into the iphone and I am not putting it on always, I need it to still hear the text tone whenever I received new messages.
Anyone pls help.. the problem still there even I updated..goh steven wrote:
hi wjosten
I don't put the iphone in my front pocket. I put in my bag pack so vibration is not useful to me. Pls help
The iPhone is working exactly as it is designed.
Your options are:
1) Unplug the headset.
2) Leave the headset plugged in and the earpiece in your ear at all times.
3) Turn on vibrate and put the phone in your pocket.
4) Leave feedback for Apple and hope they deem it worthy of their time to fix.

Why does the alarm not work when the iphone 4 is turned off
why does the alarm not work when the iphone 4 for is turned off works fine when on most other phones work when off
The only phone I've ever had that would turn on and sound the alarm is a Blackberry. So, I'd hardly say "most phones" have this function.

I just got the iPhone 5. It's completely synced and working. All my contacts are loaded. However, caller ID is not working when I receive a call or a text. Can anyone help me out with this?
Well, assuming all of the above, Notifications, etc., it just might be time for a visit to the Apple tore genius center for a session with the techs. See if it is a fault in the hardware or just an iOS reinstall is the answer.
One more thing you could try, backup so you have a record of content, then restore to factory conditions be an Erase All Contents and Settings. Then restore from the backup you just made. That has helped some with WiFi problems, may be it would work with your problems.
But with that behavior of another app with problems, the geniuses looks like a less stressful thing to do. -
Iphone 4 the mike does not work when making a call. it does work with speaker phone and face time
Just activated new Iphone 4 and the mike does not work when making a call. it does work with speaker phone and face time. Any known fixes?
My wife's iphone 4 also has your same no ring problem as does my iphone 5 just less often. I called her iphone 4 at home from where I work 20 miles away on my iphone 5. With her phone in 3G mode ONE call went through and 9 went to voice mail in 10 tries. This is a 10% sucess rate!! I also could listen in real time from the wired work phone and the wired home phone. She turned off 3G mode and it went to "O" mode at the top left of the screen after the ATT. In this mode it rang on the first ring tone 5 times out of 5 tries which is 100% of the time. I have learned that the calling party will hear up to 4 ring tones when placing a call on the ATT network. If the ring tone changes volume slightly before the 4th ring then and only then will the cell phone start to ring. If the ring tone does not change after the 4th ring you get voice mail. If the calling party does not leave a voice message there is never a missed call displayed on the iphone. If the calling party does leave a voice message a few minutes later the iphone dings for arriving voice mail but still no missed call indication.
This appears to be related to the time of day and the ATT tower that the receiving caller is using. Tried other towers and it works in 3G mode 10 times out of 10 tries. Apple replaced the first iphone 4 with a new phone, no improvement. ATT replaced the SIM card and no improvement. ATT so far is clue less. This has been going on every since we got the new iphones which is 4 months. The ATT web site also describes this same problem from several years ago. Has anyone got better information?
Thanks -

Hi. please solve my problem.
.call information such as call waiting,call forwarding, call holding is not working when caller the call me or im wait for my call i cant see any title by iphon , and also holding is the same.2. there is not any option for call baring.3.playback music is not hearing by second partner during the call.4.i cant select ringing ton from saving tons.
thank you in advance.Hi Ersin,
Exception 1 would seem to be FORMATTING_ERROR, which suggests something in the design of the Smartform. However, that doesn't fit with the form being generated from a report, but only erroring when called from a function module. I can think of no reason why the different calling method would be a factor.
When FORMATTING_ERROR is raise it should also set a message ID and number, are you able to determine what they are?
Regards,

Touch ID in my iPhone six does not work when it's plugged into the wall is anybody else having this problem?
No. You are the only one. The way I know is that I don't have the problem, therefore no one else can have it.
Seriously, no matter what problem you have, with a half billion iPhones in use, someone else will have the same or similar problem. So knowing that doesn't help solve it in the slightest. As it's new and still in warranty I would take it to an Apple store. Make a genius bar appointment first so you won't have a long wait.
