Read Receipts Slowing Down Phone IMMENSELY!

There is a problem and it's quite annoying and frustrating. It's happened with both of my phones, so it has to be something in my settings, or something. Because as I am texting people with their Read Receipts on, it slows my phone down immensely! I cannot send or receive texts until I receive the read receipt from that person. (It usually lasts a good 10-50 minutes) And it's only with those who have it turned on. It seems like everyone else doesn't have this problem. I thought by getting a knew phone, that it would put and end to this problem, but it didn't. And I'm quite annoyed. And I would like to find a solution ASAP! :) So thank you all for your help in advance.

1. Don't give out any info at all to anyone over the phone unless you know who they are. Somewhere out there someone knows you have a Mac & where you live. It probably is nothing to worry about, but don't tempt fate.
2. Don't install software from untrusted sources. There are no Mac viruses but anybody can make a trojan that will compromise your system if you are foolish enough to install it. Unless you have done that, it is extremely unlikely there is any malware on your Mac.
3. To diagnose your slowdown problem, start by running Disk Utility's two tests (the repair permissions & verify disk ones). If they don't turn up anything strange, try running the Apple Hardware Test.

  • Does an overheating battery slows down phone?

    Today, my 6680 got so much hotter than usual while idle under normal temperature. Later on, the phone got stuck when opening the Tracks folder of my Gallery. It also took longer to open MWebster and Opera.
    I've only been using this phone and its battery for nine months for mostly listening to mp3s and browsing the net.
    Does an overheating battery slows down or, even worse, freeze the phone?

    Fortunately, my battery doesn't belong to the defective ones
    Anyway, this morning the phone seemed normal until I synced it to my PC as a modem. After about an hour, the phone started freezing again while opening some programs. I can even barely access the menu so I had a phone reformat which seemed to solve the problem temporarily. I may have the phone repaired if the problem persists though.Message Edited by s60smartuser on 02-Sep-200705:19 AM

  • New Update slowing Down Phone

    I just updated my phone 2 days ago (Xperia SP). It's frustratingly slow and has trouble loading up at times.
    IS there a way to undo an update

    Hey,
    I tried the Sony Update Service, it didn't have the Xperia SP on it, I'm not sure what to do. Would I got to Sony or my network provider to resolve this issue? I've tried emailing Sony, but they're pretty lousy at getting back to me.
    Best,

  • HT4863 I sent an email from my iPhone 3GS (via iCloud account) with around 16GB of attachment. It slowed down the phone for a few seconds, then appeared to be sent. However, the message is now not in the sent box, and I can't see an outbox at all. Any ide

    I sent an email from my iPhone 3GS (via iCloud account) with around 16GB of attachment. It slowed down the phone for a few seconds, then appeared to be sent. However, the message is now not in the sent box, and I can't see an outbox at all. Any ideas?

    That changes things a little bit , login to icloud.com and see if you can find it in your sent folder.
    If it is there you did send, just need to wait until you phone syncs "sent folder" perhaps on wifi.
    If it is not, then I would say it is lost and you may have to send again. They have 20 megs limit, so make sure that message plus attachment is under that limit.

  • Mine is i-phone 4  16G. Feel so sorry upgraded to IOS 7.0.4 which slow down my phone dramatically and less responsive with the touch screen. And in times it frozen on me, the worst. Anyone has the magic wand to downgrade the IOS back to 5 o 6...

    There is no way to downgrade to a different iOS. Apple does not support downgrading. See this link regarding speeding up the iPhone 4. http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/

  • New Os 10.3.1.2243 slowed down my phone consiberably.

    Prior to this new OS update, I was using OS 10.3.1.1154 in which I couldn't charge my phone when powered off. However, with this update, it sorted out my previous issue but my phone slowed down considerably. Now, it takes time to type and BBM is so buggy.

    Make sure your BBM app is up to date in BBWorld. Also reboot the device a few times.

  • Iphone 4s/IOS8.1 slowed down my phone

    Hi,
    ever since downloading IOS 8.1 on my iPhone 4s all applications have slowed down.  Another problem is that Siri now only works maybe 50% of the time telling "I'm really sorry about this but........
    Appreciate any help.
    Thanks, Scott

    Well, iOS 8 has been designed for more graphically faster phones than iPhone 4S. However, you can always downgrade to iOS 7, but Apple doesn't support it. You can of course go for an upgrade. It would be worth an upgrade from iPhone 4S. Good luck!

  • I downloaded IOS 8 on to my iPhone 4s.  It slowed my phone down considerbly, therefore I want to go back to IOS 7.x.x.  Please provide step by step procedure to download older IOS, thanks.

    How do go back to IOS 7.x.x on my iPhone 4s from IOS 8.  IOS 8 has slowed down my iPhone considerably and want to go back to older version.

    I downloaded the iOS 8 update for my 4s and my phone has slowed to a point where it is too frustrating to use. I am in the market for a new phone and was considering upgrading to the iPhone 6 because I have really enjoyed my 4s over the years. Between the facebook updates (slowed the app to an unusable state), iOS 8 (made my phone even slower and killed the battery), and what apple did with the new U2 album I have decided to go with an Android phone. 

  • Reader Shows Screen Artifacts and Slows Down

    I am using Adobe Reader 9 on under Xfce on Fedora 17.  I noticed that there are artifacts, often resembling a thumbnail of the document page, remaining on the screen and/or showing up at various places on the screen, even when the program is minimized.
    I also notice that the program starts to slow down and stops being responsive to key strokes or mouse clicks.
    No other program does this.

    The first screenshot shows the artifact as described.  It goes away if the program is closed.  It doesn't always happen, but the program is unstable within the environment.
    The second screenshot shows the version.  (The program fails to allow copy and paste from that screen.)
    There were no updates available when I checked with my package manager today.
    Double check the opening message; there is no version 11.

  • Hey guys, i am trying to slow down the velocity on a tittle in order people can read it properly. Any suggestions?

    Hey guys, i am trying to slow down the velocity on a tittle in order people can read it properly. Any suggestions?

    speed = distance x time
    so, to slow down speed, your clip/title has to be 'longer'.

  • When I attach my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Sview case my phone slows down.  Has any one experienced this?

    After getting an S-view case for my Note 3, I noticed many of my apps slowing down during use.  When I remove the case, the phone acts normally.  Also, when I go to the sview settings to add weather, it prompts me that settings has stopped working and it does not add weather to the s view.  Has anyone experienced this or know of a fix?

    Wowuor, 
    Thank you so much for reaching to us today. I want to make sure that we get the device charging the correct way. There is no physical or liquid damage to the phone or to the power cord correct? Did this error just start to appear as of last week? Please keep us posted.

  • Is your ios 8 slowing down your device a lot and make it unusable?Read this !

    So lot of people told me that their ios 8 is slowing down their performance...Well im happy to tell you that this monday will be released the IOS 8.1 with a lot of bug fixes.So just wait for this monday

    I already watched the ENTIRE Keynote.
    The only mention was improvements in iOS 8.1 and additions like iCloud Photo Library.
    There was no mention of what these "improvements" are going to be and whether or not this is good news for lPad 2 or 3 owners.
    So, again, like I stated,we'll have to wait until Monday and see.
    Still a a big question mark to what iOS 8.1 will or will not correct.
