No texts come through when phone switched off

When iPhone 4 switched off and someone sends a text message through why don't I receive it when phone switched back on? Is it my provider? My settings? Or phone? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

SMS is a carrier function. It's going to depend a lot on how long you have the phone switched off. Different carriers hold messages for different amounts of time before they are deleted as undeliverable. iMessages are a data function unless they can't be delivered, which case, depending on settings, the sending phone will try to send them as SMS messages.
If this is an issue for you, I'd recommend considering putting the phone on mute rather than turning it off. Of course, if you are, for some reason, required to turn it completely off, that won't help. The only places I've been required to turn my phone off in the past year were on airplanes and while being detained at the border.

But as my warranty is gonna expire soon.. Do u know any way by which i can re-install or factory reset through computer when its switched off. i tried software updater but its not able to detect the switched off phone.
    Plz suggest a solution.
    How to instal software when the mobile is not swtching on

    You can't do anything on a Series 40 phone such as the 5610 XM other than a revert to factory default settings, which probably won't solve the problem for you.
    You need to take the phone to a Nokia Care Point before the warranty expires and get them to fix the phone.

If someone knows please help!!!!!

    As you can see there is no charging logo when the phone is connected

  • When display switches off I can't get it back without forced restart

    When display switches off due to low battery power & I can't get it back even when I plug in to the mains and have to force the PC to restart.
    Is there a pref somewhere to disable this?

    Hello
    When the display goes off exactly? How much capacity has battery at this time? 5%? More?
    Try to set this to higher level.
    When you work with your notebook and battery level comes to low battery level and the alarm alert will be shown in task bar but you will be able to continue your work several minutes or to connect AC power supply.
    I am afraid your notebook reaches critical battery level and then is maybe too late for any action.
    Set Low battery level to 10% and when the notification is shown connect AC adapter immediately.
    I presume the display must not be off at all.

  • When I switch off i5,all the pictures saved in camera roll is deleted

    When I switched off my new i5 ,all the pictures saved in camera roll is deleted.How can I fix this problem?

    Nevermind, everyone! I fixed it myself! Anyone who has or ever gets this problem, do understand that it isnt easy to fix it, but it's worth it. All you have to do is go to the photo, and tap "Edit". Then tap "Crop", and just a little bit will do the trick. Then, tap "Save". It will probably come up with a white background. Unfortunately, you must do each picture one by one. If you really want to, you can go back to any picture you've cropped, tap "Edit", then tap "Revert to Original". This will change the photo back to it's original size.

  • My network goes off and does not come back unless I switch off and switch on

    I have a vodafone connection.
    Whenever I go underground while traveling in train, my network goes off and but does not come back unless I switch off and switch on the phone... any suggestions???

    I would advice to perform a hard reset (holding Power button + Home button for at least 10 seconds until Apple Logo appears)

  • HT1430 my iphone 4 stopped working suddenly....i held the on button and the home button at the same time and it cam on...is this a fault as i cant have my phone switching off randomly?

    my iphone 4 stopped working suddenly....it wouldnt charge or anything...i was told to push the on button and the home button at the same time and it came back on.
    is this a fault with the iphone????
    i cant have my phone switching off randomly...any help please...thankyou.

    sometimes it happens, a hard reset will sometimes solve the issue.
    If the issue starts happening more often, I would consider restoring the device to factory settings to install clean software. If the issue still persists after that, the device might need a hardware repair.

  • My phone switch off automatically what is the problem

    Why my phone switch off automatically what is the problem I am using I phone. 5

    Do you really mean it switches off completely, or it goes into sleep mode?  If the phone responds when you tap the Home button, then it was in sleep mode and is working as designed.  If it is powering off completely, then that is a fault and you need to take it to your nearest Apple store for evaluation.

  • Phone Switches Off

    Hi
    My phone switches off and I have to re-insert the battery to switch it on. BB Curve 9360, its less than 4 months old. The worst part is when it went off while I was busy with a call.
    Please help

    A faulty battery could act in exactly that way, yet still be the cause of the situation. Faulty is faulty, which means results are unpredictable. But, if you don't want to even try to diagnose that for sure, we can move on...and hopefully it truly is not causal...
    I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • IPhone 4S - phone switches off before battery percentage has got to 0

    iPhone 4S - phone switches off before battery percentage has gone to 0 - usually switches off when it's between 20-30%.
    When I try the force restart it has the battery sign.  (Home Button+Power button)
    When I plug the charger in it starts charging  from the point it shut off, 20-30%.
    Have tried reset all settings.
    Have done a restore and setup as a new phone.
    Any way I can get it start charging from 0 instead of where it shut off (20-30%) ?

    Bit of a trek to the Apple store + i can't really send it off as I'm using it all the time.
    Anything I can do to recalibrate or reset it so battery drains and starts to charge from 0, before I have to go to the Apple store?
