No iMessages after iOS 7.0.4 on iPhone 5s

Hi. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
I have recently bought a brand new iPhone 5s. I upgraded yesterday to ios 7.0.4. It wiped my phone back to factory settings via iTunes! I reinstalled from a save though. Yesterday I also put in a replacement SIM as my last phone got stolen recently.
The main bugbear I have is that I cannot send iMessages. FaceTime works however.
I have tried turning Facetime and iTunes off and then Resetting the Network many times but this does not work.
Any ideas or similar stories folks?
What should I do?!

Hi LordZc,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can find more information about iTunes restore errors in this article:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This information relates to error 1:
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
Since you have already tried to restore more than two times, I recommend checking for issues between iTunes and security software using the steps in the article below:
Resolve issues between iTunes and security software
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
After doing so, see this article for the steps to restore when your device is in recovery mode:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

  • Cannot activate iMessage after iOS update.

    Cannot activate iMessage after iOS update. "Activation unsuccessful" I cannot activate it.

    Have you updated your iOS to 5.1? Just confirming as it says "iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1" in your thread.
    Double check if you have credit in your mobile in order to activate iMessage.
    Turn iMessage off and on again, than turn off your phone (long press display off and on button) and slide to turn off. Turn your phone back on, enter your "Apple I.D" in the iMessage window and wait till it verifies everything.
    Tell us if it solves the issue.

  • IMessage is Activated but its Not working after ios 6.1.3(10B329) iPhone 4

    i update my iPhone 4 to ios 6.1.3(10B329) and i restore my backup and i synced my Transfered Purchases and i discovered that the iMessage is not working, i tried to re-activate the iMessage feature ,i Did but it still not working, i Contact Vodafone and they Told me that they have nothing to do and its Probably a Problem in apple server!
    Pls HELP!

    Both users need to have an active data connection, either wifi or cellular for iMessage to work. Also, both have to have iMessage activated. It is difficult for you to tell what is going on for the other user. However, you might want to try this to flush out any problems in the system. Go into Settings and disable iMessage. Reset the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, go back into Setting and activate iMessage. Try an iMessage after that.
    You can use this support document to troubleshoot iMessage activation http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268 and this one to troubleshoot iMessage usage. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755

  • Difficulty texting and and making calls after iOS 8.2 update on iphone 5

    Hi
    Since upgrading to iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 a couple of months ago I have had cellular connectivity problems. But even when I have several bars of reception texts won't send / receive and phone calls fail. iMessage and wifi connection is unaffected. The problems occur 50% of the time. The rest of the time the phone works.
    I have checked with my carrier and they say there are no signal problems in my area, I have also replaced the SIM card but problems continue. My carrier says it may be a fault with the phone and to take it to an Apple store. However as I am disabled this is difficult. The phone is also out of warranty.
    Has any one else had similar issues and / or have any ideas how to fix it? Should I try a factory reset?

    Hi Saucelicious,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's cellular connectivity, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

  • Problem with 3G network after ios 6.1 upgrade on iphone 3Gs.

    I have a iphone 3Gs and not a 5 or 4 and since my ios 6.1 upgrade it's a nightmare for me.  I meet a lot of reliability issue with the 3G network. Before the 6.1 upgrade it worked fine. My carrier provider is SFR. It seems to be a "bug" only with 3G. Maybe it's the same as 4Gs but not corrected for 3Gs.
    By example I'm using my iphone to join a Free Number to join a confcall system and everytime after sometimes 3 minutes or 15 minutes I'm automatically disconnected - nobody is hearing me and I have to switch off and to reconnect.  Others collegue working with me having a iphone 3Gs meet the same issue as me with 3G network.
    Do you plan to release the 6.1.1 version for iphone 3Gs ? if yes ? when ?

    After testing workaround to disable WIFI when I'm using 3G network. It worked for 1 confcall during 1 hour !! but for the second confcall the duration was only 6 minutes and the network was cut !!! the workaround doesn't work !.
    I'm surprise because I don't find similar issue on Internet with "Reliability of 3G on iphone 3Gs after ios 6.1 upgrade!!".
    This morning during a call this message appears "Could not activate cellular data network".
    Are you in the same case as me ? Do you have a workarounf for me ?

  • Rear camera stopped working after iOS 7.1.2 update- iPhone 5

    My rear camera is not working after I did 7.1.2 software update this morning. I see a blank screen when I click the camera app.

    So my camera was fine until yesterday and pressing on the lens did not work so I went back to looking for solutions:
    http://www.cydiaios7.com/back-camera-not-working-after-ios-7-update-solution.htm l
    The article is from last year (IOS 7), but solution 1 worked for me. Here are all the solutions from the link:
    Solution 1
    Hold the Sleep button until you see the Slide to Power Off slider
    Slide it and then immediately hold down the Sleep button again until you see the Apple logo
    Solution 2
    Open your Settings app
    Tap General
    Tap Reset
    Tap Reset All Settings
    While you won’t lose any of your data you will have to re-enter all of your passwords and personal settings again
    Solution 3
    Hold the Sleep and Home button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears
    Let go of both buttons at the same time and let your iOS device boot up as normal
    Solution 4
    Try a different camera app instead of the stock one – downloadCamera Awesome, free of charge, from the App store
    Install and both cameras should work properly.

  • Problems with incoming iMessages after iOS 7 update

    Hello,
    Since updating to iOS 7 (and also installing the 7.02 update), I am having the following problems with iMessages:
    1) Messages sent to my phone from another iPhone user do not hit my phone until it connects to the internet, either via wifi or through cellular data. I don't have a lot of data on my cell plan, so I keep cellular data turned 'off' unless I am actively using it.  As an example, yesterday, my daughter who has an iPhone had messaged me, and rather than just recieving her messages as regular old texts, they had to sit there in cyberspace until I turned my cellular data on, and then they hit my phone as iMessages.  Prior to iOS 7, they came as text messages if my phone was not web-connected and available for an iMessage.  I don't like that I had no clue there were messages waiting for me until I activated cellular data so I could check my email.
    2) I am not getting push notifications for iMessages.  When I'm home and the phone is connected to wifi, if I wake the phone up to use it for something (hit the home button and slide it), a few seconds into using the phone, I will receive iMessages that were sent while the phone was sitting there not being used. As an example, yesterday my daughter had sent several messages to me that were delivered as iMessages since my phone was connected to wifi.... but they didn't hit my phone until I was utilizing the phone for another purpose.  They had been sent a couple of hours earlier and I had no clue the messages existed because I hadn't been notified.
    3) Sometimes the #2 situation is worse... I don't get the iMessages over wifi until I actually open the Messages app.
    Also, when I put iOS 7 on my phone, it deleted all previous conversations that had come through as iMessages.  Made me sad.  I had a lot of photos that had been sent to me via iMessage that were just there in the conversation threads, and now I don't have those photos anymore.
    Any thoughts about how to remedy my issues? I hate not knowing someone with another iPhone is trying to message me.  When an android user sends me a message, it just comes through as a text and I know it's there... but fellow iPhone users might as well call me to tell me they have sent me a text, because otherwise... I'll never know!

    I have the same problem :(
    I backed up my iphone 4S - which had been ugpraded to IOS6 - and when i restored to my Iphone 5 -- my shortcut keys had stopped working!
    Turning it off - and back on again makes shortcuts work - but only for so long
    All my shortcuts have been copied over correctly.

  • Cannot make or receive calls after IOS 6.1 update on IPhone 5

    Text and Data services still work fine.  All other features of my phone seem unaffected.  I have tried rebooting and resetting my network setting with no luck.  Any other recommendations on how to restore the ability to use my phone as a phone? This is a strange side affect for a software update (iOS 6.1)

    The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
    Standard troubleshooting is:
    Re-boot the phone
    Restore the phone from your backup
    Restore the phone as a new device.
    One of the 3 should fix the problem.

  • HT4623 Reminders won't work after iOS 6.1 update on iPhone 5?

    I updated to the new iOS 6.1 update last night. Went to make a reminder through siri and i get to the point were it asks to confim. When I press confirm Siri tells me that she can't do it. I try to set a reminder manually and the app does not give me the option to add a reminder manually. Everything worked fine before the update when my iPhone 5 had the 6.0 iOS?
    Any ideas on what the problem coulb be? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Battery Life Worse Now After iOS 6.1 Update on iPhone 5

    Bought & using a new iPhone 5 since late December. Updated last night on the phone itself to 6.1 iOS. Now I am finding that the battery is draining considerably faster than before. I have seen the battery meter actually go down 1% at a time from when I unlock the screen to even swipe a couple of pages of apps and send one or two texts.
    I did the expected battery-saving techniques of lowering the brightness, turning off the LTE and iCloud and Location Services. Manually push data for email was set always for me. But still battery dropping like a hot potato.
    Any tips and/or ideas? I read on another thread about resetting the phone. Would that work? Needless to say I am aggravated and disappointed as this is my first new and current smartphone in over 5 years. And now this is all happening. Ugh!

  • No network, WiFi, 3G after iOS 7.0.6 Update (iPhone 4s)

    Following my update to iOS 7.0.6 which completed with no apparent problems, my phone has lost all connectivity to my network, WiFi and 3G services.
    'Carrier Settings' no longer appears in my Settings menu, and in 'About' I cannot view IC, or IMEI number - they appear to have disappeared. Furthermore, Network appears as "Not available".
    Instead of 'Sim Fault', 'No Sim', or carrier information in the top left of the screen I have 'Searching' instead.
    I have spoken to my network provider who cannot provide me an answer, and instead have pointed me in the direction of Apple.
    I have attempted the following thus far with no result:
    Soft reset - same result
    Recovery mode reset - same result
    Reset all settings and content - Not possible as cannot verify Apple ID password with no internet connectivity
    Reset carrier settings - same result
    Restore iPhone via iTunes - Not possible as cannot turn off Find My iPhone, cannot verify Apple ID to turn off function without internet connectivity
    Attempted different sim in same phone - no change, 'Searching' still present in top left and no WiFi / 3G
    Please if anyone can offer any support in this matter I would greatly appreciate it.

    I just updated from iOS 7.0.4 to 7.0.6 and now my carrier signal is UNSTABLE. It will have a complete signal with 3G, and then after a few seconds the 3G signal will be lost and then the carrier symbol will be lost, and then the signal bar will decrease from 5 bars to no signal at all and then just repeat the cycle.   I can receive messages but only when the signal is complete. I'm very frustrated coz i also use mg 3G connection as my internet through tethering but since the signal is unstable, i can't use it properly!

  • Battery Drain after iOS 6 Update on my iPhone 3GS -16G

    My iPhone 3GS 16G on iOS 6 after update.
    2 - 3 hours it's flat & thats from a full 100% (over night) charged phone with no use
    & then keeps switching on & off for 20mins or so in charge mode after it's been pluged in to the charger.
    Never had a problem on the old iOS 5.1.1 got up to 2 Days on standby .
    Never had a problem with my phone ever until the new iOS 6 install.
    ... GET IT SORTED APPLE PLEASE A.S.A.P

    Got onto Apple Teckies yesterday & spent about 1.5 hours on the phone with a very helpfull bloke
    that went through everything.
    At this stage my phone has been reinstalled with iOS 6 as a New Phone (Like a test mode) so NONE
    of my APP's or Settings only my Contacts from iCloud (As a New phone would come out of the box).
    ... From the time we finished uploading the iOS 6 softwear untill now my phone has only used 40%
    battery so it's looking good.
    If this works I then have to conect my phone with my iTunes & Reinstall from my Back Up to get all
    My App's & Settings back.
    ... Then we will see if it has worked.
    ... Will let you all know what happens in the next 48 Hours.

  • Problems after ios 6.1 update on iphone 4s

    Hi all,
    Since I've updated my iphone 4s, with the new ios 6.1, it happens that often closes suddenly the activities.
    Anyone of you have the same problem?
    Thanks.
    Raffaella

    I hope so sir. It's the iTunes Store itself that won't even open on my 4. I just bought a new phone..it's not the same as my 4.. I just want them to fix it, everything just got worse after the update that was supposed to fix the bugs, and my moms phone that I'm on now...she's going to be mad as **** in the morning that I did the update..
