IPhone 5s not receiving iMessages after upgrading to iOS 8

After upgrading to iOS 8 my iPhone 5s is not receiving iMessages from the rest of the family. My phone shows up green instead of blue on the other phones. I have tried all kinds of resets, turning off/on iMessages, etc. Nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

My iphone 6 stopped receiving calls after upgrading to ios 8.2

I have a new iPhone 6, 64 GB. I tried upgrading it 2 days ago to iOS 8.2.
The first time it froze for a long time and when it started, everything seemed
to be ok until I opened my messages, the screen froze then my messages opened a
blank page, then went opened a new message window, and I couldn't do anything
after, except close the messages. then I found out that my phone does not ring
when someone is trying to call me, so I tried calling my phone from a land line
and it shows it is ringing, but my iPhone 6 is not and does not show any
activity. it like its ringing somewhere else. I tried restoring it, and again
it did the same thing, the minute I open my messages. its like it triggers a
malfunction that crashes the hand set.
Has anyone experienced this, and is there a solution other than waiting for
the next update that will hopefully fix this problem?

Hello RayGas,
It may help to force close all apps and reset your iPhone.
Force an app to close in iOS
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5137
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1430
If you're still not seeing any indication of incoming calls and Messages isnot functioning as expected, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on

Camera lock screen iPhone 5 not working properly after upgrade to iOS 8

After I installed iOS 8 on the iPhones 5 of my and my wife's the camera on the lock screen isn't working properly anymore. When I swipe up, the camera starts but the screen turns black within less then a second.
On the iPad 2 and the iPad Air (both upgraded to iOS 8) I don't have this problem. It seems to be iPhone 5 specific.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Having the same problem. I'm on an iPhone 5 and I have updated to 8.0.2. When I go to apps directly from the lock screen (timer, calculator, camera) it opens up then immediately turns into a black screen. It appears that removing my passcode fixes this bug, but I can't have an unsecured phone. Please help Apple!

HT1688 My iphone 5 does not ring anymore after upgrading to ios 7.0.2

My iphone 5 does not ring anymore after upgrading to ios 7.0.2. It did not happen right away, but maybe 2 weeks ago. I tried turning the "do not disturb" on and add allow everyone to call as well as turning it off but it only vibrates when calls come in. I also turned my phone off and it still only vibrates when calls and messages come in.

I found another feed and said there is a silent button next to volume bar. That was the problem.

It is 99% hacked/jailbroken iPhone to use a different carrier than intended. You have to put the sim from the original carrier or ask them to unlock the iPhone. We as well as Apple cannot help you with this.

Anyone else having volume icon on ipod touch 4gen just popping up and not working properly after upgrading to ios 6.1?

Hi, has anyone experienced issues with there volume control icon randomly popping up after upgrading to ios 6.1 from 6.0 .
I have a 4th gen ipod touch which until upgrading to 6.1 from 6.0 was working perfectly.
Minutes after the upgrade I noticed the volume icon just popping up for no reason. I can turn the volume up now, but not down and it randomly appears on screen without anyone touching it. Weird! Can someone shed some light on this issue,I have reset and reloaded to factory several times now to no avail.
thanks!

I am having this same issue on my iPhone 4. The most recent update to iOS 6.1 didn't fix it either. Has anyone found a fix for this problem? It doesn't happen often, maybe every third day or so but requires power off, power on to bring the sound back.

I5 can not connect wifi after upgraded to IOS 6.1.2

i5 can not connect to my laptop share-wifi after upgraded to IOS 6.1.2, while it's ok before upgrade. How can I solve it?

FIXED!!!!
I have iPhone 4s running 6.1.2 Everything worked great before the lovely update. My wifi did the same thing that everyone else's seems to be doing. It would not recognize my home router.
Evidently, in the update, Apple changed how the "Ask to Join Networks" button operates. Previously, I didn't have to have the button toggled to on, my phone would just automatically lock onto my router. I have fought and fought with this update. I have done several "network settings resets". I have even restored my phone twice. I have tried every crackpot, and not so crackpot, suggestion on these forums and NOTHING has worked. I could go to settings and connect to the router each time I used the phone, but it would only stay connected for a few minutes.
Today, I toggled the "Ask to Join Networks" button to "on", then opened Safari. My phone then asked if I wanted to join the network, I responded with "join". My phone has been on wifi all day! I left home and came back several hours later, and FINALLY... my phone locks on automatically.
Go to settings>, Wi-Fi>, toggle "Ask to Join Networks" button to "on". Then click on your router/network in the list.
I realize that everyone's problems are not the exact problems I had, but maybe this will help some of you having problems.
Good Luck!

Iphone file browser stopped working after upgraded to IOS 5

Hi,
I have an iphone 3gs which I have recently upgraded to IOS 5. But to my horror after I have done that I can no longer browser my iphone's internal storage. Iphone connected to PC via USB, the file explorer no longer available. It can still sync with itune fine but there is noway I can access the storage locater in the phone via file explorer like I used to. Mind you I still have 3GB of space there.
Is that a bug? Or I stuffed up the upgrade some where?
Anyone else had this experience?
Alex

I know whats wrong now...
My phone had been emptied after I last restored it, after I took a picture and insert the phone back to the PC. The file browser shows up again...
That means if there is nothing in the phone, the file browser wouldn't be too bother to even show up. Weird one...

IPhone 4S wont sync music after upgrading to iOS 7 on windows 7

After upgrading to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4S, I lost all my music.
When I try and sync (USB) with iTunes 11.1 (on Windows 7)
it hangs at the last step "waiting for changes to be applied" (step 5 of 5)
i am looking for weeks for a solution to this problem and i saw meny pepole suffer from it
but still i cannot find a way to fix it
help me please

You got it downloaded and I assume you mean it is installed as well. It was buggy for me.
I had to close and restarted iTunes before I could use it properly.
Then, I had to unplug and replug in my phone before it recognises it.
Just had to try everything. As final choice, update over the air. I try to avoid it as it tends to have more problems than a tethered update.
