New phone texting issues

I just bought a new phone and now I am having trouble being able to receive text. I can send them but can not receive them.

What type of phone did you purchase, and which texting app are you using? (Default, phone manufacturer app, Verizon Messages, Google Hangouts?) What brand and model was your old phone (going from Iphone to Android certain Apple services need to be discontinued). Are you basing it off one person trying to send you a text or multiple people. Are you able to receive a text that you send to yourself?

  • New phone, text messages disappeare​d after less than a day's use

    On my son's brand new phone, a Sprint Curve 8330, which he picked up this afternoon, he's been getting texts all day from friends, then at about 12:30AM he realized that all the previous day's texts are gone.  Only texts I sent him after midnight are there.  Why?  This is a fresh new device.  He installed Sprint TV and Sprint Music, and I installed Slacker and Viigo, but haven't even activated them (didn't have his email address to register the apps.)  I can't see this being memory-related, having under 10 hours use on the device, with almost no app usage.
    I thought that maybe I just didn't understand how it works, that it was "filing them away" into a folder for a previous day or something, but searching around did not find any texts from yesterday (just a few hours ago.)
    Any help appreciated.

    I've done this reset multiple times. And have succesfully done.
    You said that you installed some app and after that this thing happened right? Did you install in mass memory or memory card? If on memory card then try removing your memory card and see if it helps.
    If you have installed in mass memory then sometimes it can be problem. Assuming your phone is switched off right now! Just connect your mobile to PC/lappy. Wait for couple of minutes, your PC would recognise it as a storage device. If it recognises then copy all the important data you want to keep and format the memory card and mass memory. (I'd this problem when installed something like theme/app from untrusted developer.) 
    This method worked for me. If not then try again the hard reset
    Hold down the following three buttons Volume Down + Camera + Menu button at the same time. (It will Hard reset your Phone, and may takes several minutes to restart your Phone)
    While holding these buttons, hold the power button to switch on the phone. And remember press all these buttons carefully as you might not fully press all the buttons!
    Release the buttons when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
    As you might be aware of the data loss while attemping this method be sure you will lose everything.
    If nothing else works then you might unfortunately visit a local nokia care.

  • Updating new phone apps issue

    I purchased a new 5s today. trying to update it without stalling all 135 apps.
    the only option I currently see is letting the phone update them all, and then hand deleting them. One by one. Not looking forward to that.
    Also, it seems that I can no longer drag apps to put them in the order I want them and choose which screen page I'd like them on.
    Any solutions out there anyone would recommend?

    Set it up as a new phone. Update iOS. Erase it and restore your backup.

  • New pixelated text issue

    I have a new problem that just came up, all of the black text on my screen has suddenly started to look pixelated around the edges. Before all of my text was nice and smooth. It appeared to happen right after I installed the new security update. My computer froze twice on startup (the first time it has ever happened) right after I restarted from the update. I also had a couple minor preferences go away (homepage setting in Safari and the stock choices on my stock widget) I checked all of the display settings and nothing looks wrong. Any ideas??

    Traded in my iPhone for a different brand of phone. I had no idea that I had to sign out of iMessage before doing this. Now, my old phone is gone and my new phone cannot receive texts from people who have iphones and had me as a contact before. They try to send an iMessage and I have no way to receive an iMessgae now. On some server somwhere my AppleID still tells people they should send me iMessages. What is the solution to this issue? Deleting my AppleID would work to solve this issue, but I cannot ever delete the ID? What can Apple do for this?

    If you did not erase your apps and data before getting rid of your old phone, try using Find My Phone and erasing everything remotely. See if this works.

  • Transfering texts to new phone

    My X is having hardware issues and must be replaced. My question is can I transfer my text messages to my replacement.
    Thanks,

    There are a number of ways, but one of the easiest is to go to the Market and grab a free program. This one works perfectly and will dump a backup file to your SD Card. When you get the new phone, simply download the program again, hit restore and it will find your backup copy.

  • New phone today, texts dont work

    im not sure if they set my phone up wrong or what but i had a old alltell phone and went in today to get a new phone before they shut mine off. my texts worked on the old phone. got the droid 4 today and left the store got home and tried to text and it said failed, had someone text me and they said it said failed on there phone also when they try to text me.
    also looking under setting it says 
    networrk unknown
    mobile network state disconnected
    also my phone number and min is different, im not sure if there suppose to match. i also read somewhere that if your phone number has the dashes in it that the texts wont work, min is listed as  xxx-xxx-xxxx instead of xxxxxxxxxx
    is there something i should change to get the texts to work, or is something not working right at the company end. the person working with me kind of seemed new and maybe didnt know what she was doing.

    Do you still have an Alltel plan?
    What phone did you get? If an HTC device, I may be able to help ya out
    I had this issue when I had to do a master reset years ago on my Incredible. All the Alltel info did not populate back and no one could help. I ended up looking at my prior phones internal settings and manually entering the info and all went well.
    In fact as of yesterday, I was losing my data connection and looked at the settings in my TB, and one area had the settings with all zeros when it should be my phone number. Corrected it and all is well again.
    As for the phone number and MIN being different, that is not unusual.

  • My husband got a new phone number, however, every time he texts me it still says he's texting from his old number.  I've even erased him as a contact and reprogrammed him.  How do I correct this?

    My husband got a new phone number, however, every time he texts me it says it's coming from his old phone number.  I've even deleted him from my contacts and my hotmail contacts, resynced my hotmail contacts, then added my husband as a new contact.  Both of his phones were iPhones but his previous carrier was Verizon and his new carrier is Viaero.  I'm still on Verizon.

    I've fixed my own problem.
    In the end, the issue was with iMessage on the other phone, not mine.
    While I had it connected to iTunes (the other phone, not mine), I could see that iTunes thought it was the temporary number (07429...). I turned iMessage off and back on again and the phone number in iTunes changed to the old (i.e correct) number (07903...).
    Subsequently, texts from my phone to the other phone showed up as blue-bubbled iMessages.
    Hope this helps someone!
    Thanks for reading, if you did.

  • Moving texts to a new phone

    Just replaced my Droid Razr with a new one. Can I move my texts from the old phone to the new one? If so, how?
    I don't have an sd card installed.
    Thanks

    SMS Backup and restore is absolutely wonderful. I have been using it for years and have never had any issues with it.
    Install it on your current phone. Run the backup. go to your App Drawer and select Files. go to SMS Backup and restore. Copy the 2 files to your SD Card. Put the SD Card in your new phone and set up SMS Backup and restore. Go to restore and it should fine the file with the text messages on it. If it does NOT find it from the SD card then move the 2 files from the SD Card to the SMS Backup and restore folder on Internal storage then restore.

  • I have just switched to samsung and i have removed the sim from the iphone however i am still receiving texts rather 'imessage' on the old iphone. how do i make sure all messages only come to my new phone??

    i have just switched to samsung and i have removed the sim from the iphone however i am still receiving texts rather 'imessage' on the old iphone. how do i make sure all messages only come to my new phone??

    You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone.  That's relatively easy.  Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one.  For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.

  • I have just updated my iPhone 4 with latest IOS 7 and now wi fi greyed out and Bluetooth not working. Tried reset, restore everything - no use. Its out of warranty too. I refuse to pay for a new phone when clearly this is an apple issue not phone issue.

    Can anyone help? I updated my iPhone 4 with latest iOS 7 and now wi fi is greyed out, Bluetooth won't work and tbh am so angry! Phone now out of warranty so apple won't help without it costing me. Don't want to pay as its an apple problem not phone problem. It worked ok before. Tried everything, even clearing it down. Can't even back it up now unless I connect to a pc!

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

  • When a contact gets a new phone number, I delete the old and enter the new.  Then when I text or call the old number shows up as a selection yet it's no longer under the contacts info.

    When a contact gets a new phone number, I delete the old number and enter the new number.  When I try to text or call, both the old a new numbers. One up as a selection choice, even though the old number is gone from the contact.

    That's normal behavior as the old one will remain in the memory cache for a while until it's eventually overwritten.  If it's particularly bothersome to you, you can restore your phone as NEW and this will empty the cache.
