Phone and SMS stop working.

Sometimes (it's at random and for chunks of time) I will be unable to send text messages. The progress bar will get 90% then hang up and a message will pop up saying "Error Sending Message" and I will have to try again repeatedly until it finally decides to let me send it.
A couple notes:
-From what I can tell this effects everything (Safari won't connect to sites, email won't send/receive, apps can't access the internet, incoming phone calls will go straight to voicemail etc etc) but I notice it on texting most. It only happens when my phone is on 3G mode. If I turn 3G off and just use Edge all works fine (though every so often when I unlock the phone it will show zero bars, have to reconnect, then I will get the messages that were sent while it was locked)
-AT&T has given me a new sim card (Apple's idea) and Apple has given me a new phone (AT&T's idea) and neither has solved the problem. I also did a full restore (without reloading from a backup) twice.
-My roommate who also has a iPhone 3G has no troubles with 3g at all. It also shows full bars the whole time, so I don't think it's a cell tower issue
Has this happened to anyone else and have they been able to fix it.
Thanks

This is happening to me too, I need to delete all sms history and then send it again, and if i got response y need to re-delete te history and try to send it again...
very annoying btw

  • BB 8703 OS4.5 internet and email stop, phone and sms still work

    Just about every day, at seemingly random times, my internet and email quit working, with no warning.  Everything looks fine, and the phone and sms still send and receive, but no internet or email.  I first noticed no email past a point, say 10am that day, and then I tried intenet and it would not connect.  But phone calls in and out and sms worked.  So, I turned it off and back on, and I suddenly got all the queued up email, and the internet worked. 
    Any ideas?  Seems the network loses my internet and email, but still maintains my phone connection.

    OK give those a try...it may also be that you have many apps running that are causing conflicts. Check this:
    There are three types of potential memory on a BB: 1) Application Memory, 2) Device Memory, and 3) Media/SD Card Memory
    Application Memory -- This is the most crucial; it is the protected (not user accessible), dedicated, and fixed (in size) space that is available as the destination for the installation of applications (plus some application storage, overhead and such). You cannot touch AppMemory. You cannot improve the maximum AppMemory that your BB has. It is what it is. Applications can only install here...there is no option.
    Device Memory -- This is space on your BB that you can touch to store files, pictures, media, etc. Typically, it is not terribly large, but it is available to you.
    SD/Media Card Memory -- This is what it says...your SD card, for you to store files, media, pictures, etc. It can be as large as your BB OS can support...see this KB:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB05461
    On some devices/OS levels, Device Memory and Application Memory are combined into "File Free"...these are, IMO, a little harder to administer as you really can't see well just how much AppMemory you have. Nevertheless, here are some guidelines to use:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15345
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14320
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14213
    Lastly, it is always important to properly close applications when you are done with them. Using the Back or the Red key will not do this -- those leave it to the app to decide what to do...and some will leave themselves resident in memory, consuming resources on your BB, slowing the overall performance. Rather, to close an app, press the BBKey and select "Close" or "Exit"...that will force the application to be closed, freeing up for your new use the resources it was consuming. Some apps will always remain running (typically -- BBMessenger, Browser, Homescreen, Phone, and Messages)...but, you should still close them properly - especially the Browser...if it is left on an active web page, it will not only consume extra resources but battery power as well.
    Good luck!

  • I was in the middle of updating to 7.0.3 and Itunes stopped working. Now my phone is stuck in limbo (apple logo with status bar under) My power button doesnt work (of course) How do I get it back to normal?

    I was in the middle of updating to 7.0.3 and Itunes stopped working. Now my phone is stuck in limbo (apple logo with status bar under) My power button doesnt work (of course) How do I get it back to normal?

    I have same issue. I click on the home button and Wake/sleep at the same time for 30 seconds or more and then the phone entered in Recovery mode. It is erasing my content now and installing the update. Let´s see how this ends. I have iCloud, iTunes match, and backups from previos versions, hope I can restore all my content.
    Otherwise I´ll go to the Genius Bar to do a checkup.
    Good luck!
    It did not work the first time... The iPhone4 kept in limbo. Then I did disconnect as suggested above and tried again to enter in Recovery mode.  This second time it works. And after restoring the iPhone4 with 7.0.3, it asked me if I want to recover from backup. I did recover from my latest back up and now it is syncing the content.

    Hi Abdelhediamir,
    Is the mobile data connection (with your provider) up and running? Are you able to browse the web using the phone's browser? If no, this is most likely the reason why the issue is happening. Kindly coordinate with your Network Provider to get the correct Internet/APN settings via SMS. Save it on the phone so it will be configured.

  • IMessage and FaceTime stops working in iMac after carrier change

    Hi all,
    I have done a fair bit of googling and had a look at the discussion history here but couldn't find a solution to my problem. Apology if it has been raised and discussed before and I woud appreciate being re-directed to the thread.
    I have got iMessage and Face Time running smoothly on my iPad 2 wi-fi, iphone 4S and iMac OX 10.8.4. However, on the day of my changing carrier (17/09/2013), iMessage and FaceTime stopped working on my iMac as well as iPad 2. It can longer recieve or send messages or receive or make Face Time calls. All the settings looked the same - tick mark next to both my Apple ID email and mobile number, and conversation has always been set to start from mobile number on all devices. iMessage and FaceTime continue to work on iphone 4S without any issues. New sim card but same mobile number. I don't worry too much about the iPad. I just want to make it work again on my iMac and appreciate any help anyone can offer.
    Steps I have attempted to make iMessage work again (I left Face Time turned off on iphone and iMac during this time)
    0) I disabled/removed Bonjour (GTalk) in iMessage setting in iMac
    1) I have turned off iMessage and FaceTime on all devices and swtiched iMessage only back on in iphone 4S first and then iMac. I got the message on my iphone that the iMac will start using the mobile number and Apple ID to send iMessages. However, iMac still fails to send or receive messages.
    2) I have updated Apple ID on the web (removed the phone number, saved, and then re-entered phone number assoicated with Apple ID). Then repeat #1
    3) I have tried changing "start new conversation from Apple ID email" across all devices - did not resolve anything
    4) I have added a friend's Apple ID in iMessage on my iMac -mobile number automatically appeared and tick marks for both her mobile and Apple ID email but unable to send or recieve messages still while it continues to work from her iphone
    5) I have also done a PRAM reset - I got the 2 chimes - did not resolve the issue
    There's a clear trigger for this problem - change of carrier but I don't understand why it is affecting the iMac (and ipad) but not the iphone itself. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do about it?
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Hi,
    At the OS X 10.8.2 update things regarding the iMessages Account's login were changed.
    It now requires that the Mac's Serial Number is held in the Memory for it on the Logic Board.
    It can get missed in Refurbishments and Repairs.
    This is used to generate the Auth-Token for your Apple ID in the Keychain.
    Go to Application/Utilities and open Keychain Access.
    In the Login Keychain look for "IDS: (Your Apple ID)-AuthToken"
    Double clicking this will open the Info Panel.
    Check the Access tab and make sure it is either allowing Any App or lists Messages, IMCore and those in this pic.
    Although it is know that the Mac has to list the Serial Number it is not clear if other info is needed.
    It is possible that it also refers to your Public IP address in some way, this would seem unlikely as most people's ISP issued IP address is from a DHCP server - you basically keep the same IP as you are "Always On" between the router and the ISP but it can change.
    If it is not allowing access then change the settings.
    There are also two .plists that contain the word imessages
    One of these refers to the server you connect to.
    com.apple.imservice.iMessage.plist contains the Info you have in the Preferences of Messages (Apple ID, Linked iPhone Numbers and any additional emails)
    com.apple.imessage.bag.plist contains which server at iMessages you connect to.
    I would try deleting (drag to Trash) the second of these and then restarting Messages.
    If that does not work Quit Messages and delete the AuthToken for your Apple ID (if the AuthToken appeared to be allowing access above.)
    Restart Messages.

  • My I phone 4s has stopped working

    My I phone 4s has stopped working, as only the cam was working in start but now its fully hanked. Home button is also not working. What should I do?

    Hello there Wiljalu,
    I found an article about troubleshooting audio issues with the iPhone speakers. Named iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630. Although the issue is not exactly what you are experiencing, the troubleshooting is valid.
    Resolution
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Regards,
    Sterling

    Hi，
    So switch a LAN card fix this issue...seems a compatibility issue or maybe some packs or programs you installed recently cause this issue.
    Have you manually check the network adapter driver from the PC's manufacture website? sometimes, it will be a time delay before Microsoft push out the driver update.
    Check if issue exists in safemode with network, this mode will launch Windows with limited sets of files and drivers. 
    if you have a restore point, restore the pc to a previous point at which the pc is functioning fine.

  • Mid 2011 Macbook Air - Yosemite keyboard and trackpad stopped working, the only button that worked was the power button, only one USB port works.

    I have a Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
    Upgraded to Yosemite last week.
    Three days ago I was using my Macbook Air for the first time since upgrading to Yosemite. I had been using my Macbook Air for approximately 30 minutes, I was using safari and the keyboard and trackpad stopped working (would not respond). The only button that worked was the power button.
    I rebooted and they were still not working. I plugged in a USB mouse and external USB keyboard, only one USB port would work (the Left USB port if looking at the screen) so I had to swap between keyboard and mouse.
    After logging in there is a bluetooth icon at the top of the screen with a sawtooth line through it. Bluetooth is unavailable and the bluetooth icon is missing from the system preferences menu.
    If I run a hardware test by holding D (on USB keyboard) at startup it says that no problems are found and at the conclusion of the test the keyboard and trackpad start working again. When I log on the bluetooth is working again.
    I shut down the Macbook Air and when I started it again the keyboard and trackpad and right side USB ports were all not working again. I logged in using the USB keyboard and mouse and the bluetooth not available sawtooth icon had returned.
    I ran the hardware test again and at the conclusion of the test the trackpad and keyboard started working again.
    I have tried deleting com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile from /Library/Preferences/ and tried resetting SMC and Power Functions but this did not fix the issue. The only thing that seems to work is running a hardware test - obviously I don't want to do this every time I use the computer.
    I do not believe any hardware is faulty/damaged - I think it has something to do with bluetooth/Yosemite.
    I do not have the Macbook with me at the moment, if you have suggestions that I can try or additional checks/info you require please let me know and I can get back to you.
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi!
    I have exactly the same problem, and I can't find any solution.
    I can't even track down the root of the problem: the Bluetooth/Wifi module? The trackpad? The keyboard/top case? The logicboard?
    I've tried all the usual: SMC/PRAM reset, clean install, kext cache clearing.
    Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!
