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...

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 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.

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.

My ex husband bought our 2 girls new Iphones some months ago. They just noticed he had them logged into his icloud and they have never used this facility. Can anyone confirm that he has access to their photos, imessages, SMS, facebook and email etc?

The children had new IPhones 5s bought for them by my ex-husband. He set them up and logged them into his Icloud account which they were unaware of. Some months later they have messages saying their Icloud storage is full which alerted them to the fact it was his Icloud account on their phones. There was also some transference of personal photos from other devices to their phones from his phone? We know he was able to see things on their phone but did not know how. Can he backup all their info without their knowledge? Did he have access to their email; imessage, SMS, facebook, photos etc
Please explain how we can ensure his icloud account details are removed from their phones so he can not access their phones. In addition is there anyway he could have put spyware on their phones and if so can we run a test of some sort?
Any help greatly appreciated.

You should do the following on each of your children's devices:
Log out of iCloud.
Log out of the iTunes Store and App Store.
Create a new Apple ID.
Log in to iCloud using the new Apple ID.
It isn't possible to install malicious software on an iOS device unless the device is jailbroken or you have the resources of a government intelligence agency.

Thinking apple needs to bring a option to pick from photo gallery to set as a theme/background on imessage/sms that will be cool to see on iphone :)

I THINK THAT IT WILL BE SO COOL IF YOU CAN PIC FROM YOUR PHOTO GALLERY TO SET AS THE BACKGROUND IN YOUR IMESSAGES/SMS IT WILL GIVE A NEW LOOK AND FEEL ALSO THE OPTION TO BLUR THE BACK GROUND JUST A LITTLE OR SET AS IS.....WHAT DO IPHONE USERS THINK SHOULD APPLE DO THE NEXT BIG UPDATE WHERE YOU CAN DO THAT ??????

Imessage & sms using iphone ipad and macbook pro

I just had a new ipad mini for christmass. Great... but I have a new problem.
Note that I dont have a data plan on my cel. That means that i received imessages only when I am connected to wifi (home, university, etc..)
Before I had my new ipad mini. i configured my iphone and macbook pro to use imessage with my cel phone no as my primary ID. Everything was fine. When I was at home (both iphone and macbook pro connected to wifi), i was getting imessages on both my iphone and macbook pro at the same time. My friends that do not have apple devices were sending me sms that i was getting on my iphone only. When leaving home with my iphone only, I usually close my laptop that is getting automatically in sleep mode. My iphone continue to receive all my messages (my friends imessages were automatically converted to sms because my macbook pro is sleeping and therefore not accepting imessages and my iphone was not connected to wifi). When I get at school and my iphone connect to wifi, my iphone now reveives all imessages plus sms.
With the new ipad mini (configured the same was as my macbook pro to accept imessage with my iphone no as the main ID) it seems that it continues to receive all imessage, even when sleeping.
The effect is that when i leave home with my iphone only and get out of the wifi, my iphone do not get any imessage that are accepted by my ipad mini. My friends that use iphones dont know that i am not getting their messages because they see on their iphone that their message have been distributed.
That is a big problem for me.
I want to receive all my messages (imessage and sms) on my iphone... when i am connected to wifi and when i am not.
The work around solution i use (that i dont really like) is that, on my new ipad mini, i unchecked my phone no in the list of ID for imessages. With this solution, i am back as i was before getting my new ipad mini... but the problem is when i use imessage with my apple mini using my apple id as my imessage ID, my friends are getting 2 different conversations... on with my iphone no as imessage ID and another one with my apple id as my imessage ID. If they ever use this last one when I am out of a wifi zone with my iphone... I will not get those message on my iphone...
What is the solution??????
Thanks for helping.

Hey there David,
If you are still not receiving your iMessages between all your ios devices, I recommend the following section of this article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, follow these steps.
Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

IPhone will get an iMessage, then reply as SMS, then iMessage again

Ever since I got an iPhone 6 with iOS 8 (and any version of iOS 8 released to date), I've had frustrating issues with the phone refusing to send things as an iMessage to other users that I KNOW have good service or are on WiFi.
I am sometimes in poor service areas, and that I understand. My iPhone 4 sometimes had trouble sending iMessages from work, and it would fail, and I'd have to resend as a SMS.
However, even when I'm in an area with 5 bars of LTE or on a great WiFi connection at home...I still have trouble. I can usually receive iMessages no problem in a good service area. I can even get one as an iMessage, unlock the phone, and it will refuse to send as an iMessage - I either get "failed" or it just sends as a SMS straight away. If I get the failed message, the phone doesn't even bother to attempt resending it when you hit "Try Again" like my iPhone 4 did.
I have tried resetting network settings multiple times, turning on/off iMessage, hard-resetting the phone, setting up the phone as a new phone, and de-registering/re-registering my iMessage account with the phone. Curiously enough, my iPhone 4 on WiFi only still sends the message without a hitch EVERY TIME.
Is this just an iPhone 6/iOS 8 thing?

Oh...once it sends as a SMS, the next one will send as an iMessage with no problem at all. I don't think I added that.

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".

Here's a good troubleshooting article about imessage "waiting for activation".

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).

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
It might also be a good idea to contact Square for assistance.

2nd problem: Something similar happens when I select an image and want to view the image. It doesn't allow me to select the options that are on the bottom right corner. The options shown are ‘visit page’, ‘view image’, ‘send feedback’ or ‘search by image’, but I am unable to select any of the options.
I Too have found this. I believe it is wanting to scroll while tapped image is enlarged, like iPad does. You can't tap the X or ... buttons, but you can sorta slide it up a bit. Notice a line of a few pixel at bottom of page behind image window... Sometimes the image slides up and zooms somewhat, exposing the rest of the images below.
Really hope hope they fit it soon. Also in Safari, many buttons have sweet spots that are hard to tap. Shouldn't take 5-7 tries to hit the #^€%!£¥ next button on a web page.

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

Why does the iMessage say that someone isn't registered with iMessage when they have an iPhone 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?
