IPhone freezes/hangs after sending iMessage

Anyone else having this problem or know a fix? Almost every time I send an iMessage my Iphone 4 will hang/freeze for almost 30 seconds before I can do anything else. If I send a regular txt it's fine. Anyone know of a fix for this? It's becoming very annoying

I'm suffering the same thing. Seems to happen during the day (as opposed to the night). This was happening before and I read somewhere it was traced to the use of the Mac OX Messages beta app that Apple released before Mountain Lion. I uninstalled that beta and things seemed to get better. Now I'm running ML on my Mac and this issue is back. Is there an issue with the Mac app logged into iMessage and the iPhone too?
Very curious whether this has a fix somewhere.
Thanks for posting.

Cant send SMS off iphone 4s but can send imessages and calls in and out still work.. help?

cant send SMS off iphone 4s but can send imessages and calls in and out still work.. help?

SMS is a carrier feature. Contact your carrier

My iPhone does not always send iMessages to other iPhones who have their iMessages on. Most times I text a new contact with an iPhone first, they show up as regular text messages. How can I fix this?

Yes to receive an iMessage the recipient would need an iOS device (iPhone, iPod, iPad) and an internet connection. This is a messaging serviceprovided by Apple so the recipient does not need to check emails. If the contact does not have internet access at the time the iMessage is sent then a normal SMS through your carrier can be sent instead if you have "Send as SMS" turned on in Settings>Messages.

Why my iPhone imei change after send repair

Why my iPhone imei change after send repair

They send you back a different one, a refurbished model. Your exact phone was not repaired, but instead replaced.

IPhone connections hangs when sending email after upgrade.

After upgrading to 2.0 firmware on my first generation IPhone, the phone now regulary hangs when sending email via smtp. Even if I try to close the connection by putting it into AirPlane mode and back again it still hangs and from that point onwards doesn't check or send any new emails. If I then shut the phone down and restart it looses the email as it's not either in the sent or outbox folders. This has happened quite a few times since upgrading. Does anybody have any advice?

Found this useful tidbit by mdwelsh231 on another thread:
"I'm having this problem too. Rather than rebooting the phone, an even easier solution is to hold down the Home button for several seconds (I believe it's 8 sec) which will kill the Mail application and return you to the home screen. Restarting Mail (by tapping the Mail icon) will cause it to reconnect. I find that this resolves the connection hanging issue. However, it is still kind of a pain. I suspect a bug in the 2.0 iPhone firmware. "
Worked for me

Iphone 5s will not send imessages after update

I updated my iPhone 5s to the newest IOS 7.1.2 and since that time it will not send imessages to anyone. I have powered off and on. I have reset the settings. I have checked to make sure that messaging is on. I have turned off messaging and then turned it back on. It was working just fine prior to the update. Anyone know how to fix this??
Thanks!!

Hello marybethcolc,
It sounds like you are unable to send iMessages after a recent update despite some great troubleshooting. I would use the following article as a guide to help you get that issue resolved, named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Hi Mario,,,,
I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

My iPhone 5c won't send iMessages, snapchats, email from the Mail app, and it won't load YouTube. Other internet apps like Pandora and Instagram work fine though. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

A couple days ago I first noticed the problem when snapchats would appear on my lock screen but when I opened the app I kept getting the error message that the app was not able to refresh my story. Then the next day I was no longer able to send iMessages, they wouldn't go through and would only reach the second party when I sent them as text messages. Also, YouTube won't load and Mail won't send or receive email. I've already tried restarting my phone but there was no change. At first I thought my network connection was the problem but Instagram, Safari, Vine and Pandora all work perfectly. Any suggestions?

Try this procedure to be sure of a proper restart.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
I would also try: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

IPad is no longer synced to iPhone and will not send iMessages

The first thing that happened after the upgrade to iOS 8 was the iPad and iPhone was no longer synced for iMessages. I have an iPhone 4 (no iOS 8 for that phone). After one month of this issue, my iPad is now not sending any iMessages unless I go through email.

Hey emfgsc,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iMessage across your iOS devices. The following resource outlines troubleshooting information that you may find helpful:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
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.
Thanks,
Matt M.

My iPhone 5 won't send iMessages anymore. It only sends text messages anymore. What's going on?

I just recently got a new iPhone 5 because my old 5 completley broke for no reason and had to get a replacement from Apple. But now, I can't send or receive iMessages. Every time I try to text an iPhone user, it pops originally as it's going to send an iMessage but then it says it can't be sent and sends a text instead. It's getting real frustrating and I have reset the phone several times already, went into settings and turned iMessage on and off and done everything that I can. What else can I do? About to take it back and get an S4 when it comes out.

Try this procedure to be sure of a proper restart.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
