Received text message late!
Earlier today, my wife, and I were texting to each other, and we both were receiving our messages within 30-60 seconds. At approximately 5:09 pm my wife texted me to let me know when she would be home so I could start dinner.
Well the next thing I know is that my wife is entering our garage, and I ask, how come you didn't call or text me, and she said she did text at 5:09, and she showed me her phone (iphone 4), and it was time stamped at 5:09 that the message was sent.
At approximately 6:05pm (54 minutes later) I received her text on my phone. This isn't exceptable, especially when, or if there was an emergency. what would caused this to occur?
Again, your both right. this problem is not an internet provider problem, it's a cellphone carrier problem, and yes they can not guarantee that your text will arrive in seconds or minutes. This is the first time it's taken this long for me to receive a text from anyone.
My kids (adults) send us texts all the time (from the east coast), and we receive them fairly quick, and we're on the west coast, but since this doesn't occur all the time I guess we can deal with it. Everything else works great.
Thank you all for your input.

I am having trouble sending text messages. They aren't always going through. And sometimes I'm not receiving text messages. I also have voicemails that I didn't receive until late at night that were left early in the day. I need to resolve this issue ASAP!
julie@remax,
I know that this would concern me just the same and we want to make sure that your device is connected and receiving these notifications when available. How long have you been having this issue? Are you receiving a specific error message when sending a message? Are you aware if this happens in one location specifically or everywhere you go? Does the issue with messaging occur with all numbers? Share some details, so that we may assist.

Is there any way I can download my received text messages to my computer
I have a BB 8830 World Edition. Is they any way I can download my received text messages to my computer. If so, how? Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.To backup/store your messages use Blackberry Desktop Manager software.
Connect your device to the PC.
Run the Blackberry Desktop Manager
Select "Backup and Restore" icon on the application window
Click on "Advanced" button and select the information that has to be stored.
When backup completes - there is a *.ipd file on your computer created. It contains all necessary information.
Later you can write information from this file to the blackberry device with the same mechanism.
For now there is no such a standard application to read stored messages on PC Computer.
Try to find third-party applications for that purpose. -
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. -
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. -
I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
Problems: Suddenly ALL incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive) other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before. Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

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.

LG Revolution receiving text messages
I just got this phone on 7/1. It was all programmed and I started using it. I was both sending and receiving text messages. I noticed that since 7/3 I have not been receiving text messages. I can still send them. I am sure it is probably something I did, but have no clue. I powered the phone down (without battery removal) and powered back up. Still no texts receive.
Hi Missjennfur1,
Are you having issues receiving any text messages or receiving replies back to your text messages? I would try doing a soft reset on your device. Afterwards, send a message to a person asking them to reply back to your message. If the reply message does not come through, contact the person to ask what error messages did they see when they tried to send you a reply. Also, use this link to our website site. You can send yourself a message. If the message does not go through, it will give you back the results with an error message that will shed more light on the issue with posting back the results you observed. If you need additional assistance afterward trying these suggestions, send me a private message with your information. -
LG Revolution isn't receiving text messages?
I got my cell phone on Black Friday, I was so excited and no I am just frustrated. I don't receive text messages half the time and my phone randomly turns off and on. Is there anyway to fix the text message problem because as a young adult that is how I mostly communicate. Please and thank you.
Hi hkell:
I can understand why you're frustrated with the problems that you've listed. There are a few suggestions I can think of to ensure your issue is resolved. For the texting problem, are you using any 3rd party messaging applications? If so, please remove them and retest using the stock messaging application. If your device is resetting intermittently, I would recommend performing a factory reset on your Revolution. This will rule out any issues potentially caused by 3rd party applications.
You can also ensure that your software is up to date. You can check the current version of software here and see if your software is up to date.
If neither of those has helped in resolving your concern, please feel free to send me a DM. I've followed you to ensure this is possible. We also have a Warranty Center (Tech Support) line that can reached at 866-406-5154 for troubleshooting.

Is there a software in which I can hook up my iPhone 4s to my computer and send and receive text messages and calls (via headset) through my computer? Whether it's free or cost money, can someone please give me a name of a program or software that allows me to do this? I can't seem to find anything like this for the iPhone.
No.

How do I stop my macbook from receiving text messages from my iPhone?
After I updated my macbook to Yosemite, I started receiving text messages on it from my iPhone. I want to turn this off, how do I do this?
Hi,
Temporary.
You could Disable the account on the Mac.
You can untick the Receive At option for the iPhone Number as "Alias".
This will cut the number rather stop them completely.
More permanent.
Sign Out button on the Mac version.
Messages will work but the iMessage account will not have an ID to log in with (it will show but will need the password. you change the ID but entering a new one.
Permanent.
Remove the Apple ID for the Settings for the iPhone version.
iOS 8.1 and Yosemite will also allow or can be set up for Text Forwarding as it is called in the settings on the iPhone.
Effectively the two become paired (needs a code number that appears on one to be entered on the other device) rather than just "happening".
This does allow SMS Messages to also be synced between the two.
I am not sure you are talking about this though.
If we have missed what you are after you will have to give more details.

I CAN NOT RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE USING IMESSAGE
On an iPhone your iMessages will go to your phone number.
You can select another email to use on iPod or iPad.
Go to settings

Check your phone number and uncheck the common Apple ID you share so your messages will not go to other devices. -
My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another. Is the cause of this because we share the same Apple ID? Will we have to set up 2 separate primary email addresses to be able to send and receive Tex Messages to one another? Like I said, we share the same email address and woul like to keep it that way to keep up with our email together. Is there a way to by-pass having to set up 2 primary emaill addresses if this is the problem?
Thanks.go to the settings and turn off imessage
but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once -
The names of my contacts are not showing up when I receive text messages
The names of my contacts are not showing up when I receive text messages, only the number is showing up. How can I fix this?
This is a HUGE iOS bug.. Following a tip from another poster, I was able to fix the issue (temporarily).
This worked for me on Verizon.
I dialed *228 on my Verizon phone. I pressed "1" to activate it over the air. I then went into task manager and killed all the running apps.. Waited a few minutes.
The next text I got displayed the number correctly!.. Until I rebooted, that is.
PLEASE, call Apple and speak with a senior engineer on this. They can't fix it if they don't know it's a problem! (800) MY-IPHONE -
