Messages app: Orientation problems

I have a new iPhone 6+ 128Gb and have been using it for a week.
I never restore from backup with a new phone so I upgraded iOS, reseted it to factory defaults and started from scratch. After installing all my apps again and setting the phone up I have noticed that the Messages app has an orientation problem. It just happens when using the NEW MESSAGE button:
1. Hold your iPhone in portrait orientation and open the Messages app. Be sure to check that the orientation lock is not enabled on control center.
2. Tap the NEW MESSAGE button
3. When the new message screen shows rotate the iPhone to landscape mode.
The iPhone does not rotate the screen. The screen continues locked on portrait.
This DOES NOT happen when I am answering to an already started Messages conversation. In this case the iPhone behaves as expected and the screen rotates normally.
This DOES NOT happen when using other apps.
This DOES NOT happen on other iOS 8 devices I have (iPhone 5, iPad 2).
The problem has been confirmed by other users on the macrumors forum. The thread can be found here:

I have already reported the bug to Apple. I encourage everybody that is having this issue to report it to Apple using these forms:

HI,
As far as we can tell this issue is related to problems at the server end.
It does not seem to be all server though with the Mac version of Messages running behind iOS devices.
If someone is in a conversation using an iPhone and then gets home and turns On a Mac then the sync process start in Messages (if opened)
This plays out like a speeded up chat.
If the contact is still sending messages then these get sent in real time and appear on the Mac as they occur and the Messages being synced do not move above the "new" message. (they get all mixed app)
There seems to be no way to get the iMessage server to "Instantly" sync the older iMessages.
After that is seems that random Messages will miss getting to one device if you have say an iPhone and iPad (or iPod Touch) but can then turn up days later. There seems to be no identifiable cause for this.
So far I have seen one thread that reports that Messages over 100 characters have been known to lose the last word or two from the iMessage when it is delivered.

More than one problem with messages app

I'm trying to get this Messages app to work properly on my iphone and macbook pro. I have a few problems that are just very annoying and I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong. I'm sure it is some stupid setting I am overlooking, but I have exhausted my brain for the day.
1st problem - I can send and recieve messages on my mac and iphone. That works fine, but there are no notifications on my mac when I send a message from my iphone. The message shows up in the app, but it doesn't give me a notification or a badge that there are new messages. I have it turned on in the settings, but it just won't work...
2nd problem - My phone is the only one that is working. My whife has been sending me imessages from the other room for the past hour testing out the app and I get the messages on my phone, but none are showing up on my mac. I thought they were supposed to go to both?
I really hope someone can help me here. I am very frustrated with the whole thing.

HI,
On the iPhone in Settings > Messages > Received At > Caller ID there should be two "IDs"
One is the iPhone's own number and the other should be the Apple ID.
If the Apple ID is ticked then iMessages sent from the Phone should sync to the Messages app.
However incoming iMessages to the iPhone via it's Number will not sync to the Messages app.
This is apparently coming with the iOS 6 release.
For the Messages App check System Preferences > Notification and the app name and check if it supposed to be using the Dock badge, make sound or display Notifications (Alerts or Banners)

VZW Messaging app continues to crash even after update, and several re-installs. Anyone else still having this problem, and know any fixes?

My messaging app crashes 5+ times each day, or causes my phone to lag until I restart it. Is anyone else still having these problems, even after the update?

the vz messaging app is garbage.Thats probably why no tech support people have replied to your question yet. I had similar issues & decided to disable it. May i suggest you download 'textra' or even hangouts?

Problem with home button and "messages" app after upgrade to iOS 4.1

Hello,
I have noticed two interesting problems with my iPhone 4. I am not sure if it is in conjunction with the upgrade to the iOS 4.1 software, but I did not notice the problem prior to this. Both of these problems are very odd and are hit or miss. I have tried restoring and the problem is still present. Also, since both problems have presented at the same time, that is why I am starting to believe it is not hardware...
Problem 1: The home button has become considerably unresponsive. This is not all the time, but it does happen a lot. Sometimes it won't work for about 5-8 clicks and I have to use the power button to access the phone.
Problem 2: When composing a new text message the cursor would always default into the "To:" section of the app which allows you to easily type what contact you are trying to message. However, I am having the issue now occasionally when I am in the messages app and select to compose a new text message that the cursor now defaults into the chat box (where you type your actual message). This is very annoying and I know that this is not the intended behavior of this.
Please let me know if anyone has experienced similar issues and can provide me with some feedback.

I have not experienced the same.
I have tried restoring and the problem is still present.
You restored from your iPhone's backup, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup?
If whatever software problem is causing this is included with your iPhone's backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem.
Try restoring as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup to see if this makes any difference. If not, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware problem.

App Store can no longer be opened. Immediate crash and error message "App Store can not be opened because of a problem"

App Store won't open, error message "App Store can not be opened because of a problem". I haven't been able to update anything for a week or so. I have used Disk Utility, Drive Genius, deleting the .plist, all to no avail. My Mac Mail hasn't worked since the upgrade to Mavericks. Mavericks can't see my LaCie Cloudbox. Can any of these be solved by me?

I have the same error "XXXX App cannot be opened because of a problem". And I also cannot open iTunes and get the error "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes."
Only Apple apps seem to be at issue here...
Repairing Permissions did not fix this.
I noticed this after the last Software update. Is there no fix other than re-installing?
Not happy that an Apple software update killed all my apps...

My phone app freezes and message app crashes. I tried restarting multiple times and the problem persists. Everytime i go to the phone app and press on a contact to call it just freezes up and does nothing. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

My phone app freezes and when i press on contact either it freezes or does nothing. Anyone know how to fix this problem? Also messaging app crashes. ANOTHER NEW PROBLEM: I can't receive calls either.

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

The old Google Chat / Messaging APP Problem.

ok so i HAD google chat working er, for a while and now its back to broken, did the usual tests we all do, delete everything, redo, make sure its all 100% accurate blah etc and came to thsi weird result.
making a new google account and using that = failed, the email app logs in gets all the mail no problem but the messaging app just loads forever trying to sign in and does nothing, weird as both apps use exactly the same account details.
however i tried a different approach and it works, why it works is beyond me, i created a new chat account via the actual google chat client on the pc, you get an option to setup a new google account/mail or use an existing non google one, in this case i used a spare hotmail account, i then tied that hotmail account into my primary google email account via the google webpage account prefs, set it as the secondary email.
I clicked new account on the touchpad, selected GOOGLE, then just entered my hotmail email which id just linked in, entered the password, and whammo it instantly works.
I'd have to ask why? and why does the proper method fail using a real google email, i only have 1 google email and wanted 1 seperate for the touchpad so i didnt have to use the 1 i use everyday on the pc but ALL newly made google accounts just fail time after time.
any thoughts here?

it still doesnt work using the google email, deleted or otherwise, google chat will ONLY work when i add my hotmail details (secondary email on my google account) and not the actual google created email (primary mail), however the email app woudl always funtion with the google email flawlessly and only the messaging app would choke on the google email.
so now i have a sort of weird setup in my accounts list where the hotmail account/email is up for use by only the messaging app, i had to untick all the other options and just leave "Use Account With, Contacts ON, Messaging ON, and disabled Calendar/Email/Documents", but the google account/mail is used perfectly by every other app.

Email account setup problem with Messages app

Having recurring problems lately with a Rogers pop3 email account not syncing properly in the Playbook Messages app, unless I'm on a wifi connection. Continually tells me it's encountered an unexpected problem connecting to the Rogers server when only bridged through my phone. Is something screrwing up, or is the app designed for wifi only? I don't recall this problem originally.
Also having all kinds of fun setting up the account and having it complete the process properly. It tells me it can't connect with the server/it's not available at this time, blah blah blah. Tried just entering the email address and letting the tablet do its thing; have used multiple settings in the Advanced setup, as verified by using the EVAT tool (though it seems to only have PC, not Playbook options). Again, maybe this is just a wifi-only issue(?), but even on wifi setup seems iffy.
Duh

Rogers has different setting for home and mobile use and it can be painful to deal with
Basically they lock it down for one use or the other and not for both.
It was inteneded to be used only with your home PC and not a mobile device and some ISP have made changes to allow it
POP protocol isnt that robust and if possible use IMAP or better to use exchange active sync if possible (not all ISP use IMAP or EAS)
I gave up on it and switched to outlook.com

Messages.app ~ "Auto-fill/Contact Indexing" Problem Mavericks/Yosemite

I recently bought a MBP secondhand, and I am having a problem with the messages app.
When I create a new conversation and start to type in a contact, the former owner's contacts appear in the "suggestions." Obviously, I do not want this to happen. I do not want to start from scratch/"restore" as a blank machine either.
Things I have tried/checked thus far:
~ I made sure that only my accounts and none of the former owner's accounts are logged in for @internet accounts in Apple system preferences. (I have rechecked my accounts' contacts by logging into them directly(gmail/icloud,etc), and the former owner's contacts didn't sync there or anything)
~ I have deleted the files chat.db chat.db-shm and chat.db-wal.
~ Also did this :
"There's also another way to clear iMessage chat history on Mac OS. You can do this through the command line. Quit out of iMessage and open Terminal, at the prompt type the following:asdf
rm -r ~/Library/Messages/chat.*"
~I have deleted the ichat and imessage/messages plist.
~I have double-checked the contacts app, and these "irritating" contacts are not there.
The most alarming thing is that the contacts show up in messages on both of my computers now. Where are these contacts stored???
HELP! & thanks!

Hi,
In Messages > File Menu do you you have the Recents item ? (it is not there in Yosemite which I am booted into at the moment)
If so do these same "Ghost" contacts show up there ?
If this is the case use the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder and type in ~/Library/Preferences into the dialogue box.
In the Preferences folder find com.apple.ichat.plist and drag it to the Chat (It holds the Recents List amongst others).
Restart the app.
You may have to re-make some settings in the app. (the Font and Speech Bubble colours for incoming and outgoing messages if you changed them, the Buddy List sort order and things like that).

TS2755 After competing the latest software update to my iphone4 messages app no longer opens any pics. Is there a solution to this problem?

Is there any solution to the problem with the messages app on my iphone4 no longer opening pics after completing the latest iphone software update?

Go to iTunes menu, EDIT/PREFERENCES/DEVICES tab, do you see any Backup files with Date and Time? These are the backup file you have everytime you sync your device to your iTunes.
Now close the dialogue box, connect your device to your computer. In iTunes left Pane, your iPhone will appear under "Devices". Right mouse click yout iPhone and select Restore from backup, select the backup from Date and Time you can remember that has all the contacts and notes and proceed from there.

IOS 7 problems with FaceTime and messages apps.

Need resolution on why FaceTime and message apps are not accepting my password after loading ios 7.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Also try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

My messages app on my iPhone 4s keeps crashing. How do I fix this problem?

I sent a really long mesage and now my messages app won't open. How can I fix this?

Basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore.

Message app problems

Can't access message app from iphone5. Soon as I open the app, it closes. software up to date, tried system reset. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Double tap the home button. Find the Messages app there, hold down on the button until you see the sign and close the app. Then do a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone reboots, then try. If that doesn't work, then you need to do a restore, first from a backup and if no joy, then restore as a new device. A restore will delete all data from the device. Make sure you have backed up, imported photos, synced calendar, contacts, etc. Restore from backup will put it all back, however restore as new and you need to sync all data back. You will lose saved game data and SMS history.

Disable sound and/or vibration while in Messages app?!

Hi!
I would like to know is there some option in the iOS where I could disable sounds and vibration while I'm using Messages app (app is open and the display is turned ON and I can see the message I recieved). This is very annoying when I'm using iMessages and getting a message every few seconds and then my phone vibrates constantly. It is of course OK if I'm not in Messages app but when I'm already using it I don't need a notification I got a message when I can see it for myself.

I'm having the exact same problem. I get a random text message ding for no discernible reason at least oncer per day. No alerts from apps, no email, no texts, no missed calls, no voicemails. It's not changing connection types between wifi, 3G, and edge. I know that the first gen iPhones sometimes dinged in that situation. If anyone knows what's causing this I would love to hear it.
Just to be clear I'm using a perfectly normal, not jailbroken, iPhone 4 running the latest software version.
Regards,
John G.

My message app crashes on my ipad 2

Two days ago my message app on my ipad 2 started to crash mid message. I tried restarting the ipad by holding down the home and power buttons. That did not correct the problem. This morning I updated to iOS 7.0.4. This also did not correct the problem. I deleted all the feeds I had going with people. Then started a new feed with one of the people. It still crashes. Also, I am unable to delete specific messages in the feed like I use to be able to do. Is there anything else I can try other than completely resetting the ipad? Thanks!

The feature to delete specific messages stopped working today as far as I know. I was not working before I did the iOS update today. I did all that you suggested above. So far the app has not crashed. However, I still am not able to delete specific messages by tapping the message and then tapping the more tab. In fact many times when I tap on a specific message, nothing happens.
