Nokia 5800 not receiving texts problem!

Hi guys Bought the Nokia 5800 about 2 weeks ago and all has been fine with it until recently.....
Ive done no modifications of upgrades or played about with any of the settings..
But now for some reason im not receiving text messages when they are sent??
The only way I can get them is by either sending one, turning my phone off then back on or by going into message settings and selecting view sim messages then the message will pop up....
But I have to do this everytime which is quite annoying! I can do everything else fine....send messages, ring people receive calls etc.
Ive rang vodaphone and 5 times they have fobbed me off with different things to try and none have worked....Ive tried the hard reset and still nothing!
Is anybody else having this problem, or does anyone know a solution to fix it?
Thanks

I haved the same problem and I think I solved it, and it works (right now and hopefully also in future).
I have 5800XM with latest firmware upgrade - V30.0.011
THIS IS NOT NEEDED BUT USEFULL
Connect your phone (with phone battery loaded on full) to PC. Make backup of your phone data. Menu START, Nokia, Nokia Ovi, Content Copier   
If you have V20 or V21... *#0000#  - select this combination as a phone number to check what version do you have. If you have V20 you can update firmware to V21 via NSU (Nokia Software Updater). All international language versions beside English are corrupt (last week I checked, maybe something changed) so better use English version because it's always latest, fresh etc. ALWAYS read what NSU talk to you on the screen.
If you have already V21, update to V30 you can do only from phone. You must have access to stable WIFI connection (because file to download is something like 5MB size) and phone battery loaded on full. I'm using Polish language so I don't know how it's named in English but... Press middle button twice, go to Preferences, go to Phone and find icon with arrow ("Phone management" or something like that) then phone icon with arrow straight down - this is responsible for firmware update.       
THIS IS IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE AFTER FIRMWARE UPDATE (OR IF YOU HAVE BASIC FIRMARE VERSION)  AND DON'T GET NEW MESSAGE INDICATION AND/OR NEW SMS SOUND INDICATION
Press middle button twice, go to Preferences, go to Phone and find icon with arrow - "Phone management" or something like that, then pure phone icon - "Factory settings" or something like that. Some window arrive, click OK. This is not hardcore format, you don't loose anything.
After this operation you will have "clean screen" like straight from factory, so if you haved before little "tuned" screen and overall phone (added phonebook contacts from SIM card, selected wallpaper, different profile etc.)... you know what to do - tune it again. ;PP 
I tested it. On different profiles (General, Outside - one hella loud profile on 5800 speakers, better don't use it rooms where silent is needed xD), with upcoming sms when screen was active, with upcoming sms when screen was locked - indication works with the sound!   
Turning on/off phone registry logging (incoming/outgoing connections, sms etc.) got nothing to do with solving this problem.
Have hope it helps someone... This is for 5800 but what I see also other Nokia models have the same problem so maybe other users find this post usefull too.

  • Nokia c3 not receiving texts

    I just recharged my phone after the battery being completely dead. Now when someone calls or texts my I don't receive either (I tested with my moms phone). When I call it just says their is no service at this number. I know I have service because I can send texts to other people and call other people. My phone is a Nokia C3 also. Any help would be great and yes I have tried restarting the phone, it does nothing.

    Hello 34tuforlunch, it might be a network problem. If its not then try this remove the sim and battery and insert them after sometime and see whether the problem is solved or not. Or else put the sim in another phone and check whether its working or not. If no then its surely a network problem. Hope this helps. Try and reply.

  • I have a new IPhone5c and do not receive texts or calls from my daughter's phone. We did not have this problem with my old Envy Touch. Verizon is our provider. Can you troubleshoot?

    I have a new IPhone5c and do not receive texts or calls sent from my daughter's phone; I'll call this phone 2. We did not have this problem with my old Envy Touch. Verizon is our provider. Can you troubleshoot? My other daughter has a new IPhone5c too. She receives calls and texts from sent from phone 2. Any tips for remedying this problem?
    Thank you.

    Turn off iMessage in your phones settings.   Apple devices can only use iMessage to other Apple devices.
    Turning off iMessage will allow the messages to go as regular text messages.

  • All of a sudden I can not receive text messages on my MOTOX. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. I can send them, but can't receive them.

    My MOTO X was working fine, then all of a sudden, I can not receive text messages. I have checked the settings and they look correct to me, and I have done everything the web site recommends, except wiping the phone and starting over, to try and fix it. Has anyone else had this issue, and how did you resolve it?
    Thanks so much.

        That's strange that your Moto X wont receive any text. Thank you for trouble shooting the issue. Let's see what's going on! Does your device have any physical or liquid damage? Does anyone else have an issue with calling or texting? What zip code are you in?

  • LG Revolution not receiving text messages from iphone user

    I am not receiving text messages from iphone user, sporatically.  The messages are showing as reveived on Verizon website in usage detail, but not being received on my phone.

        This issue needs fixed asap! I have a few suggestions that should help you get this resolved. If they are showing up in the usage details, that means they are hitting the Verizon network, but for some reason they are not showing up on the phone.   I recommend clearing the cache from your messaging/text messaging programs. Go to settings> applications> manage apps> all> Messaging/Text Messaging> Force Stop/Clear Cache/Clear Data. Erase the old text threads that you have saved and retry.
    If that doesn't work, please let us know the following:
    1) Do they come in delayed or not at all?
    2) Do you have any 3rd party messaging apps installed?
    3) Do they have any problems receiving messages from you?
    4) When they're sending messages, are they directly to you, or do you have this problem when the iPhone user sends to a group of people?
    Thanks for the additional info! I'm sure we can find a fix.

  • Recently started not receiving texts from one person - AT&T user, also HTC One

    I recently started not receiving texts from one person. He also has an HTC One (older model) but has AT&T as his provider. We were texting back and forth last Friday morning (11/8) and then he called me and ever since then I have not received a single text he has sent. He is receiving all of mine and we can receive phone calls back and forth, but his text messages are not coming through. We have both tried restarting our phones and I have also tried deleting him as a contact and recreating it however nothing works. I checked to make sure he was not blocked (which I knew wasn't the case since I could receive phone calls from him as well), and even tried turning the "block contact" on and back off. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Right now we are using work arounds with google-talk and facebook messenger but it's very frustrated for me to not receive any of the texts that his phone is saying I am receiving.
    It had started sporadically over the past few weeks where I would miss a text from him every once in awhile, but now I am receiving nothing. He is the only one that I am having this issue with as I have texted back and forth with multiple others the past few days with no issues.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hi!  I'm also having the same problem.  I have an iphone 5 & one person (who also has an iphone 5 but has AT&T as a provider).  We had been able to send & receive phone calls & texts until mid-November.  Now, we can both give & receive phone calls from each other and she receives my texts, however, I DON"T receive hers. In fact, if I'm in a group text message with her,  I don't receive any of the texts  that include her, even though I can give/receive texts individually from the others in the group message. The other two in the group message CAN receive both her texts & mine. This is so strange - I was left out of a whole thread of text messages & none of us knew it.  They thought they were including me (nothing bounced back) & I didn't know I wasn't receiving them. Since her texting works with both of the others, I'm concluding the problem must be with my phone.  Do I have an incorrect setting?  I'm not sure what could have happened.  PLEASE help! 

  • IPhone5 will send but not receive Text messages

    IPhone5 will send but not receive Text messages.  Specifically, I can send my grown son text messages, but he can not reply to them, nor can he send me new texts. He and I are both on Verizon, and he has a Droid phone.  His texts can be recieved by his mother, who can forward them successfully to me.  When I initally received the phone (Dec 2012) I could receive and send texts with my son with no difficulty. The trouble began (as near as I can tell) when my phone was upgraded to 6.1.1.  This is a significant problem and I would like it resolved as soon as possible.

        Scouter, let's get you reconnected with your son, via text message. Make sure that your text messaging feature is enabled in Settings>Messaging:
    enable iMessage ON
    enable "Send as SMS" to ON
    MMS Messaging ON
    You will also need to reset the network connections in:
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network
    Finally, power cycle your phone off/on and try to send your son a text message. Keep us posted. We're here to help you.

  • Switched from iphone to galaxy - now not receiving texts from iphone users

    Switched from iphone to galaxy for multiple reasons.  Still keeping my iPad and wanted to use my iphone for music.  Now I am not receiving texts, apparently imessages, from iphone users -  there is no notification either way that a message was not received.  So iphone users think I have received a text when I haven't.  This makes me angry with Apple as there have been medical issues in our family and I have not been receiving important communication.  I also have clients I have not received texts from.  My understanding is I will have to delete my iphone from my apple account completely, but then will not be able to use it at all for itunes or anything else. 

    If you still have the iPhone, go to Settings and turn off iMessage. If you don't have the phone or if that doesn't solve the problem, contact Apple Support and request that they deactivate iMessage. https://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact/

  • I upgraded from Iphone4 to Galaxy S4 and not receiving text messages from Iphones.

    I upgraded from Iphone4 to Galaxy S4 and not receiving text messages from Iphones.I went to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistered my old iPhone to resolve the issue. It's been one day and I cannot recieve text messages from Iphones

    Verizon wiping out old phones would have nothing to do with it. The phone is no longer associated with the number, so wiping the phone would have no effect. It is your Apple ID which is the problem. You have iMessage turned on for your Apple ID. iPhones which have your Apple ID associated with your contact will send texts to your Apple ID, not your phone #. If you have another Apple device which can use iMessage, you could turn off iMessage in that device, but as long as your friends have your Apple ID associated with your contact and you have turned on iMessage in an Apple device and never turned it off before switching from an Apple device to another platform, you will have this problem.
    You can bet that Apple will not address the problem, as they don't see it as a problem if someone is using a phone other than an iPhone. Apple expects no one will ever switch away from an iPhone once one has been used. Therefore, no problem for them to address.
    The problem lies with Apple wanting their users to go through yet another proprietary interface, iMessage, which the MAJORITY of all smartphone users do not have access.

  • Unfortunately messaging has stopped and not receiving text messages

    I, am also having issues with "unfortunately messaging has stopped", AND, NOT receiving text messages. I also have 2 other Droid Ultra's on my account doing the same thing. This is totally unacceptable!!! I am not paying $600 for a piece of crap phone that does not work. I had my phone recently replaced because Verizon thought that was the problem. I can't even get the message screen to stay up long enough to type a message, if it opens at all!
    Also I am getting tired of NOT receiving messages sent to me! When I do get them, the icon tells me I have a message with a number usually no more than a designation of 2 but reverts back to a 1, and, when I open the message, read it, and close out of it, if it does not close out on its own because of stopped messaging, the number on the message icon does not clear out. I have to turn off the phone and restart it to clear it. This is not acceptable and I would expect better from Verizon, not the run around!! If I had to send an urgent message and get a reply, do to the fact I am disabled, and this is my only way to communicate, that this is extremely unacceptable!!!!
    I expect this to be resolved yesterday, not when you all get around to it, OR, issue me a Samsung!!! I am sure all of the others would agree!!!
    I look to hear from you ASAP!!

    Hello,
    I am using the messaging app that was preloaded with the phone, the green face icon. I do not have an "Android Keyboard" app, but I have cleared the cache on the "Messaging" app, several times. I have also gone to the Verizon store where an associate did a soft reboot, telling me that would work. A very short time later, the error message started appearing again--so this did not work either.
    The error message comes very sporadically. Sometimes several in a few minutes, other times not for hours.

  • Not receiving texts from non-iOS users

    I upgraded to iOS7 and am not receiving text messages from non-iOS users. Unlike the iOS bug reported in the news which affects imessage, my phone seems not to be getting or sending texts to anyone on Android or Blackberry.
    I tried rebooting the phone a few times and reset the network settings, the problem persists.
    Is there a fix for this?

  • Not receiving texts from some iphone users.. anybody know whats up with that?

    Just got Samsung S4 and I'm not receiving texts from some iPhone users.
    Do i have something set up wrong?

    It appears you have moved from an iPhone to an android phone. The problem you are having is because you did not deactivate your iMessage service before leaving.
    If you still have your iPhone, you can re-activate it and then
    turn on iMessage in the settings
    uncheck your email and phone number
    turn off iMessage
    Settings>Messages
    If you don't have your phone or don't want to go thru the hassle of reactivating it, you can simply call Apple at 800-694-7466 and ask them to turn off your iMessage.

  • Not receiving texts from US Cellular friends only

    I am not receiving texts from US Cellular subscribers only. I have been told by my nice customer service people at Verizon that it is probably a US Cellular issue. This just isn't sitting well with me. I do seem to be receiving texts from other carriers (Boost, Verizon, AT&T). My iphone 4S is updated as far as I can tell. I've only had a couple of weeks and I have yet to receive any of the messages US cellular people have sent (so it's not like they are delayed, etc. I just do not receive them). I am very frustrated and do not want a different phone. The reason I changed to Verizon FROM US Cellular was for the iphone 4S. Feeling very disappointed and frustrated. Love all the other features of this phone, but as a phone (which is the purpose of the thing) it has been sub standard. Anyone else having problems receiving text messages?
    I have tried : turning imessage off. rebooting phone. updating network etc (options 1 & 2). I can send messages to these same people and they receive them. They can call me, but when they send me texts they never reach me.

  • Not receiving texts from a Galaxy 4 mini on US Cellular provider network, but I get all other texts.

    I am not receiving texts from a friend who owns a Galaxy 4 mini on US Cellular provider network, but I receive all other texts from other phones and other providers. She has never owned any Apple products, including an Apple iPhone. Other people she texts with receive her texts fine.
    Any ideas what might be causing this? 

        Hi xg33kx,
    That is definitely an unusual situation. I'm sure it's frustrating that it isn't working when you need it. Do either of you have trouble with texting anyone else? Try turning off Wi-Fi on both devices, and see if the problem persists or continues when using only the mobile network. Please keep us updated with this situation so we can help to resolve!
    Thank you,

  • Thunderbolt is not receiving text messages

    I recently purchased a thunderbolt, approximately a month and a half ago.  It was working completely fine until about a week ago, when I started having issues with not receiving text messages.  It can be resolved by resetting the phone, but there's no way to know whether or not I need to do that unless I'm in the middle of a text conversation and I suddenly stop receiving messages.  I know my messages are going out because I can still communicate through facebook and other non SMS or MMS applications, and all other functions work properly, but this happens once or twice a day, and is extremely frustrating.

    I'm having the same problem.  My Thunderbolt is a refurb I received when my first Thunderbolt died this past fall.  I never had any SMS/MMS issues until very late February.  The problem is that I cannot receive any text messages.  Sending messages works fine, but I cannot receive any.  If my wife sends me a message, her phone will say it goes through, but I get nothing on my end.  This was a huge problem when I went 4-5 days without receiving any texts since I didn't know I wasn't receiving the messages.
    The problem resolves itself when I reboot/restart the phone, but I don't want to have to reboot my phone every night. The most recent time, I went 2 days without any texting problems before the "can't receive" issue came back.
    My Thunderbolt is STOCK (radio, ROM, etc.).  I have no 3rd-party texting apps -- I'm using the stock messaging app.
