Problem with SMS notifications

I have an iPhone 4S and I have noticed for a while now that my phone won't notify me when I have a text message and sometimes missed calls.  I have been searching through problems online but I can't find anything that is relevant to my problem. When I receive a text, I don't hear a tone, I would unlock my phone and notice that I have a text message but I wouldn't see anything pop up on my lock screen. I switched off the lock screen to test it out and used a different phone to send a text message to myself. I heard the tone go off but notificiation didn't pop up which I knew wouldn't happen anyway but when I swicthed it back on amd sent another message, nothing popped up and it took a while for the message tone to alert me, it only worked when I unlocked it. I'm finding this really annoying and I don't if its the phone or the software. I downloaded the recent iOS 6 software ages ago but this problem is only happening to me now. Anybody know what I should do?

Do you have "View in Lock Screen" enabled? Settings>Notifications>Messages>View in Lock Screen>On

    You'll get no solution until you say what the problem is, rather than just ranting.  "Software breakdown" down is as meaningful as "car won't go".
    If you read the terms and conditions that you agreed to in order to post here, you would know that Apple is not "our company". Nobody here works for Apple, we are users that voluntarily try to help, so raving at us is valueless.

    First don't publish private information like the IMEI number.  Second, why do you think people here can read your mind?  If you have a problem then tell us something about the problem.  We cannot guess at what your problem might be let alone offer a solution.

  • I'm having problems with facebook notifications.  The sound doesn't work but shows up in banner.  Any suggestions?  I've tried everything but restoring.  Is it a phone problem or an app problem?

    I am having a problem with facebook notifications.  The sound doesn't work but appears as a banner.  I've tried everything but restoring the phone.  Is this a phone problem or an app problem?  Has anybody experienced this problem and were they able to correct it? 

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
    thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
    which will correct the problem...

    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
    point
    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
    Up
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
    I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
    posted for each one.

    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

    Still a student here, so please help me out.
    I think i have the same problem with a few BlackBerry Users out there. I can't view SMS even though there's clearly a notification stating that i've a new SMS. I need to go to View SMS inbox to view the message.
    Your kindness will be deeply appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Solved!

    Try a simple reboot on the device, first >> With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

  • Strange problem with sms

    Hi, I am in a big problem here so please help me.
    My problem is that i have an app that sends sms and it used to work well, but when passed to some devices they dont send anything. Now the same app was deployed to a blackberry curve and it sends the sms but the message is never recieved by any phone. I tested sending to a nokia 6131, motorola l6i, htc excalibur, and a treo 650. The treo was the only one receiving the messages but not anymore, I am sending to the port 0 and the phone is put on international format.
    The app have been correctly working on nokia phones and also tested on a blackberry 7290 but on blackberry curve is not working, I also loaded a small app just to send 1 sms and didnt work.
    Any ideas, why does some phones can send/receive sms and some other not. Why is java too unreliable with this.

    Hey r u sure there is a problem with the E6
    all other devices are working fine and they send the sms successfully
    i dont use the port but use the primum no like 45456
    it works well on all devices but dont work on MOTO E6 and MOTO A1200(ming)
    so is there any problme?

  • Problems with SMS

    hi all,
    I wish someone would give a solution to this problem. I think you are not giving importance because users use instant messaging applications. But I guess that's another big part of who uses it, as in my case.
    BR

    This is not a problem with your phone but how the SMS standard works. See this thread for example: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-SP/Write-longer-text-messages/m-p/375907
    What your operator means by "disable unicode keyboard" is to set your phone so that you can't write these accented characters with the keyboard. You can do that by changing the language of they keyboard.

  • Problem with Push Notifications after change from 3GS to 4S

    After I changed from my 3GS to my 4S I have a Problem with the Push Notifications.
    I only receive them on my old device, not on my new 4S.
    They both have different Phone Numbers, and i set the 4S up with a Backup from the 3GS.
    How can I fix this problem?

    I have the same phone, and have just had it replaced with an identical model and am having the same issue. I am going to go through Apple Care again and see what seems to be the problem. I never had any push issues with my 3G, except at the initial launch.

  • Problems with sms after 2.1 update

    I have an original iphone, and after the recent update, I have had some problems with my text messages.
    1. A friend who has sprint is unable to delete a text that I sent to her. She has had no other similar issues from anyone else.
    2. Occasionally, the text entry box, disappears and I am unable to type anything.
    3. Occasionally I am unable to scroll down to the most recent message in a conversation.
    4. The text entry box has also moved up to the top of the screen.
    Since the update, texts are not as sluggish, which is great, but these other issues are bothersome as well. Anyone with similar problems?

    I don't recall reading anything similar to this, however if you are having problems with your phone, the standard troubleshooting procedures are to turn phone off/back on. If that doesn't correct it, then reboot the phone, hold home key and sleep/wake button together until you see the Apple logo, past the slide to turn off screen. If that doesn't work, then restore, first from a backup, then if necessary as a new phone.
    I don't see how someone not being able to delete your text could have anything to do with your phone. That would have to be on their end. I had an origianl phone that I updated to 2.1 and did not have any issues whatsoever. See if any of these help.

  • Problem With Sending Notification Through Fax While Creating A PO

    Hi All,
    While creating a purchase order with the output medium set to as FAX, once we click on save the entire information is actually faxed to the Number provided in the communication medium.
    Now if a problem occurs, usually a notification message is displayed, the issue is, the notification message is not getting displayed anymore even if the the fax is not being sent.
    Hence the user has no way of know that a fax was sent or not unless he check his inbox.
    I have spoken to the Basis and the Functional Consultants and they say that there is nothing wrong with the Configuration Part.
    Hence can you tell me what could be the possible reasons for this problem that is happening?
    Please Advise!!!
    Pablo

    Hi,
      Which Scenario are you  implementing??This BADI is to be implemneted for PO only if you are in the Extended classic scenario and the PO in SRM is the leading PO.
