My iPhone 5 delays texts being received for an hour and sometimes days at a time. What can I do to fix that?

So I have had the iPhone 5 since the day it came out in September. I have noticed, randomly, it will delay texts from individuals and in group messages. It has delayed for an hour or more, and more than once it has delayed for more than a day. I have looked at the sent message time and it says 8:52am but I am receiving it at 9:30am? Or once it kept ringing for like a minute straight as all the messages from a group message came in from two days prior, they have the date they were sent but they don't get to me until much later than needed. I have no idea why it does it either. Any help?

I am having the same problem on my iPhone 5 16gb on Verizon. I did a fresh restore from scratch twice and my messaging is extremely slow/buggy it freezes mid text, mid sending, while opening a photo received photo or sent photo in messaging app. Also I have had the phone just refuse to turn on until I wait for like 1 minute and keep trying. Another issue with the messaging app is that sometimes the messaging app will chime in as a new message is received minutes after I have already read and replied to it.
Do I have a lemon piece of hardware or is this potentially a software bug affecting more users?

  • My iPhone4 won't turn on even after being charged for 1 hour and when I plug it into my computer nothing happens

    My iPhone4 won't turn on even after being charged for 1 hour and when I plug it into my computer nothing happens. PLEASE HELP

    I have a similar (if not the exact same) problem! Here are some more details if they are helpful.
    My iPhone 4 died earlier today and will not turn back on. It seemed that the battery died while it was not in use. I attempted to charge it on one charging cord in multiple wall outlets and none worked. Assuming it was a malfunction in the cord, I took my phone home to try charging it there.
    Again, I attempted charging it in multiple outlets with a different cord than previously used. None of these seemed to work, though they would flash the Connect to Power screen for a brief moment before returning to a black screen. I assumed that my phone was simply so depleted of battery that it needed a long charge.
    I charged it for 30+ minutes without any success, then attempted to charge it through my MacBook instead of through a wall outlet. iTunes did not even recognize that my phone plugged in (and still hasn't). I've attempted charging it for an extended period of time (1+ hour) with no luck. Sometimes when I press the Power button it will flash the Connect to Power screen once more before returning to black.
    The Apple logo never appears, nor does any apparent progress on charging. I have attempted holding down the Power and Home buttons simultaneously for 10 - 30 second increments. Still no luck. There is no reason anything should be happening with this phone that I can identify.
    I have no warranty and just recently replaced my previous phone which had had similar problems before completely crashing. This is a phone new to me that was previously used but in almost new conditions and factory reset by Apple prior to my purchase.
    Does this mean that my phone battery is dead?
    Is there anything else I can do??

  • I want to backup my iphone on itunes, but it baskup for long long time, about 6.7 hours, and it doesn't done. What can I do ?

    I want to backup my iphone on itunes, but it baskup for long long time, about 6.7 hours, and it doesn't done. What can I do ?
    It's my iphone problem or itunes?

    It shouldn't take this long, something is wrong with your iTunes.  Try this:
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and do the sync again and if it is working now.

    You should remove his AppleID and restore it as new.

    Why can,t I bluetooth pair my iPhone 3GS with my new iPad, it does not even show up as discoverable. What can I do to fix this

    For what purpose are you trying to pair them?
    Only supported peer to peer apps such as photo transfer or multiplayer games can connect to other iOS devices via Bluetooth. You initiate the connection inside the app running on both devices.

  • My iphone 4 went into recovery mode for some reason and it is unable to be restored. any ideas how to fix this?

    my iphone went into recovery mode for some reason and is unable to be restored. it wont turn on and when plugged into a charger it shows a usb and itunes symbol. so i plugged it into my mac and connected to itunes then itunes said it has detected a phone in recovery mode and needs to be restored. so it goes through the restoration process for a couple minutes or so then stops and says itunes is unable to restore because an unknown error occurred (2001) or (2006) and other times i try it says its unable to restore because itunes cant detect the device... any ideas how to fix this?

    Errors 2000-2009 (from Apple support): If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
    2001: Use up to date software. Make sure your device is in DFU Mode: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
    2006: Use a different USB cable. Possibly the one that came with your iPhone.

  • I deleted my iphone with icloud because the phone was lost but it been 16 hours and the phone still without response what can i do

    Yesteday i lost my iphone and i delete it withfind my iphone this morning my iphone was return but is been 16 hours and the phone still deleting itself with only the circle on the front i tried a hard reset but dont work and the imac dont even recognize the phone. WHAT OPTIONS I HAVE?

    I have read a number of threads with the rotating circle in the middle of the screen.  Some have been able to Reset by holding down the Sleep Button and the Home Button until the Apple Logo shows up and then wait for a lock screen.  This had to be done several times in some cases.  Others suggest letting the battery totally run down and then charge for at least one half hour.  Then do a Reset again.

  • Whenever i try to play a video on my iphone, it pauses literally every 2 seconds. i will hit the play button, the video will play for a few seconds and then it will pause again. what can i do to fix this?

    videos will play for a few seconds on my iphone then it pauses. i press play and it pauses again. why is it doing this? and this is for all videos: youtube vides, videos off the internet, videos ive downloaded from itunes

    I can understand this with videos you are streaming, i.e. maybe you have a slow data connection.
    Videos on your phone should not do this.  Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
