My phone won't show notifications on my home screen or lock screen for text messages
My phone won't show notifications for text messages on my lock screen or my home screen, even thought both are turned on under the settings. Once I go into the messaging app, they will show up as new but not anywhere else. I get notifications for everything else except text messages.
Messages should work with the email address that you use for your Apple ID. You have to be signed into that email address in order for any other email address that you have added to work.
You should add your iPhone number to your Apple ID on the iPad, and then select that as the contact address at which you can be reached and all of the messages between the phone and the iPad will sync again.

Phone won't show contact name in recents list
Phone won't show contact name while somebody call me, the same is in recent list under number is unknown. I already reset my phone and try to make new contact when somebody called me and it isn't work.
you have entered the number in the wrong format. There should be no zeros. IF you were entering my number then that would be +617 XXXX XXXX with the + being the international dial out code and 61 being the country code 7 the area code without leading zeros and rest being my number.
If someone wanted to call me from insider the country but from another state they would dial 07 XXXX XXXX but the international dialing format would still work. Note that the 0 in the area code is not used in the international dialing format -
I have a Galaxy SIII and recently stopped receiving visual notification for text messages. How do I correct it?
Hmmm that's strange TopDiver. Let's get to the bottom of this. Have you checked the notification settings on the device? To verify the notification setting on the device click on menu>settings>sound>notification sound, then test device notifications.
Thank You,

I changed my ICloud account ID but my new phone won't let me change it unless I put in my old password and turn off the find my phone feature. But the phone will not recognize my old password. Can someone help me?
New iPhones don't come setup with an Apple ID/Password. What you're experiencing is called Activation Lock, & unless you know the original Apple ID/Password that was originally used to first activate this phone, you won't be able to reactivate it.
You can login to iCloud.com, from any computer, use Find My Phone to locate & erase the phone. But, you'll still need to know the original Apple ID/Password to reactivate it. -
Why are the Cell Phone numbers that show up on my statement not the numbers I am Texting to?
This has to do with texting only. Lately I have noticed that a lot of the cell phone numbers we are texting to and from do not show up on the statement. What shows up is a series of random numbers. Why is this happening???
Re Text messaging. I have noticed that a lot of the phone numbers are not phone numbers but just a random set of numbers. 0000265060, 0032665115, 0000032665, 0032665114. These are people my son is texting to and receiving texts from. Does this mean the person has a blocked phone number???

Second phone number for a contact wont appear as an option for text messaging on iPhone 4/IOS6
My iPhone 4 (IOS6) is a work phone and my number is blocked (I have to call a lot of people while out of the office who I don't want to have my cell number). Since I want my friends to know it is me when I call I save their phone number in my contact list with *82 in front of their number. However, I learned that text messaging doesn't seem to work with *82 in front of the number so I also have each contact saved as a second number without the *82 at the beginning for texting only. After "upgrading" to IOS6 I have found that my texting number won't show up when I type the contact name into the address bar in the text message app, just the *82 number that won't work. It used to list all numbers associated with that contact. I know I could just send them a message from the contact card one time and then just open the thread in the messaging app every time after that, but since I am often driving when I am out of the office I use Dragon dictation to compose my texts and then only have to type the contact name into the address line each time instead of typing an entire message. Long story short, I really need it to list all numbers for each contact and not only the one they randomly decide I might want. I have also checked my contacts and ensured that the non-*82 number is listed first in the contact card, that didn't change anything.
There is an option in the Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. Of course this means that your screen layout will be reset but maybe this will 'bump' those hidden apps out of the 'invisible 5th row'. It's worth a try I guess. Did you check to make sure the apps weren't pushed to like the very last screen instead?

Duplicate notifications on iOS 7 iPhone 5S - lock screen AND banner
Hi everyone
Hopefully someone can replicate this!
Since upgrading to the iPhone 5S, some of my notifications (e.g. Mail, Foursquare) will appear as nomal in the lock screen... but the most recent one(s) will sometimes then ALSO appear as a banner, once I unlock my device.
Is anyone else noticing this behaviour?
A few thoughts I've had on this so far:
- It's only happened so far when I use TouchID to unlock the phone - therefore, could iOS be assuming that (if the TouchID unlocked the phone REALLY quickly), that I may not have seen it, and so sends me a banner too?
- With the above in mind, I thought that perhaps the M7 chip was showing me duplicates if I hadn't used my phone for a while (incase I'd missed it), but if I wake the homescreen first to scroll though my notifications and THEN use TouchID to unlock it, the notification will sometimes still appear as a banner.
- I don't know if this happens on password entry too, as I will always be using TouchID moving forward
- This problem may not be unique to the 5S, especially if TouchID is not part of the cause
- It could just be a bug.
Anyone else?
Thanks
MikeI've also been having this issue. I'm talking to Apple about it right now and they don't seem to have a fix for it. I've even tried the old Settings > Notification Center > Messages > Repeat Alerts > Never
That didn't even work and it's always been set to never repeat alerts. This is happening to me for iMessages. What will happen is, if I get two messages or more showing on the lock screen, either by unlocking my phone with a passcode or Touch ID, once I unlock the phone a banner of the most recent message received will show up at the top. It only happens if I receive more than one iMessage. If it's a singular iMessage or text message, it doesn't appear to happen. Apple wasn't able to help me out with anything. I tried a hard reset and that didn't work whatsoever. All of my settings are the same on my iPhone 5 running 7.0.4 that I was using only a few days ago and ever since using the iPhone 5s did this problem start happening. It may have something to do with having Touch ID enabled, but who knows.
Also, I am running 7.0.4 on this iPhone 5s as well, so for those of you saying there should have been a fix in it, there wasn't. If anyone is able to shed light on this, definitely let us know. -
How to edit phone numbers in contacts for text messages
My number is blocked so others can't see my phone number. In order to unblock my number for friends and relatives, I added *82 in front of those phone numbers in my contact list to override the block and show my number. So here's the problem -- when I want to send a new text message to someone in my contact list (whose number is preceded by *82), I need to edit the number to remove those extra characters in order to be able to send a text message to them. Is there any way I can edit the phone number from within the messaging function?
Thanks.I am havng a similar problem that I can't figure out. I have mutiple numbers for each contact. i.e. mobile with *82, mobile without *82 for texting, home number, work number etc... I would like for them to come up in a spicific order. The two mobile numbers first and then home and work. That way I can get to the mobile numbers first as those are most used. Also so to save time knowing that all contacts are in the same order. So far it has been random for each contact. Some come up mobile first either with or without *82, others come up home first and some come up work first. I have tried deleting the entire contact and starting over thinking that the first number you enter becomes the primary. That didn't work. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance -
Contact name not displaying for texts/messages, only phone number does
When I turn on my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0.2) in the morning (I shut it off at night), any received text messages (iMessages or standard texts) only show the phone number of the person who sent the text and the standard tone for texts is heard, when it should display the name and play the special text tone I setup on specific contact records. It is not til after I use the Touch ID or enter my passcode that the name of the contact who sent the text displays AND the special text tone for that contact is heard. This not normal behavior. Even upon startup on my former iPhone (5), any texts received displayed the contact name and played the appropriate tone when the phone was turned on during the morning. HELP! I believe this is a bug; but, would like to have this confirmed. If it's a setting or combination of settings that I'm missing in iOS 8.0.2, please let me know.
My contacts have never been stored in iCloud nor do I plan to use iCloud.
Thanks!Try this: when device is ON remove the battery, wait a minute and turn the battery back to the device.
