  • TS4268 I now have a samgsung s4, but previously had a iphone 4s. Now I am not getting texts from iphone users. I think it has to do with imessage, but how can I fix?

    I am not receiving messages from iphone users after switching from iphone 4s to samsung s4. I have a tmobile account. Please help.

    If you no longer have the phone you will need to contact Apple support to deactivate iMessage. Use the following link then "Other Apple ID topics" then "Messages and Apple ID" https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action

  • Switched to Samsung GS5 2 months ago, still not receiving messages from iphone users

    I switched to a non iphone over two months ago and ever since then I cannot receive messages from iphone users sending in imessage format. They have to turn imessage on and off to be able to text me. This has been extremely inconvenient since I need to receive these messages for work in addition to my personal life. I have tried multiple suggestions I've read about, still nothing works. It's like this is apple's way of keeping customers using their iphone instead of switching for fear of not receiving messages. They won't really fix it either when we all know technology is advanced enough to fix this. HELP.

  • All Data not getting viewed from one user

    Hello,
    I have created a user named "ABC" in SAP and have given full authorization to that user.
    But while logging through that user and viewing the Sales Order all data are not viewed through the form as i haven't
    defined Data Ownership for that user but still i am not able to view all data from that user login.
    Please suggest  what i have to do view all data from that login.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Amit

    Hello Amit,
    Data ownership authorization would not be override by general authorization.  If this user has not been assigned for data ownership authorization, the sales order may not be available to the user.
    Thanks,

  • Not recieving texts from Iphone users

    Just signed up with Verizon and got my new LG G2 but I'm unable to receive or send messages to IPhone users. I've already tried downloading the Verizon messages app and done a factory reset on my phone. Not sure what else to try here. I've never owned an IPhone so the deregister of Imessage does no good. Any Ideas??

    Is this your first cell phone ever? If not, were you able to receive texts from iPhone users on your previous cell phone(s)?
    Have you inquired with your contacts what color of bubble is around the text messages they are sending you? If it is blue, they are attempting to send it as an iMessage and think your phone is an iPhone. If it is green, they are attempting to send it as a text.
    As Snn5 has stated, there is a setting in iMessages which much be turned on to send messages as SMS/MMS if iMessage is unavailable. It is possible that this is not set such that a SMS/MMS can be sent.
    Do you not receive texts from ANY iPhones or do messages from some iPhones get thru?

  • Not receiving texts from iPhone users

    I recently got a new Samsung Galaxy S4.  I registered this phone to a new number.... I did not port an existing number to the phone.  Since getting the phone, I have had trouble receiving texts from iphone users - their messages will not come through on my phone unless their imessage is turned off.  As you can imagine, this is quite a hassle - having to explain this problem every time I give someone my number, and several people having to change their settings every time they text me.
    I've done research on this problem, and it seems that this happens when you port a number from an iphone to an android.  The problem is fixed when you update your apple id account, and delete the number from the imessage service.  I am concerned that my current number used to be registered to an iphone - and that the number is possibly still associated with an imessage account.  I have no way of changing this, so I'm stuck.
    I understand that this may be a problem that only Apple can fix, but any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

        Hello annaesharon, I know that receiving all of your text messages are important, indeed! Sorry to learn that you've been missing many of yours due to this. Thanks for reaching out to us - it's my pleasure to help.
    The good news is that you are absolutely on the right track. The best way to take care of this is to ensure the phone number is un registered with Apple/iMessage. You mentioned that this is a brand new phone number for you, so we would also like the opportunity to check a few things on your line as well.  Do you receive any type of alert or error message when the iPhone text try to come through? Which application are you using, primarily, to send/receive text messages. Let us know! We want to help get to the bottom of this for you.

  • Not receiving messages from Skype on my ipad and iPod touch 5gen

    IPod touch 5 gen 32 gig black IOS 7.0.2
    Ipad 3rd gen, 32 gig white IOS 7.0.2
    I am not receiving messages on my ipad and iPod touch from Skype, it won't come thru,  I've tried reboot and hard reset, but nothing works, I reinstalled Skype, and nothing works.

    I had this same problem also.  The problem has to do with your credit card number associated with you iCloud account.  To solve this problem, you need to update your credit card/payment information by doing the following on your iPad / iPhone / iTouch:
         Settings > iCloud > click on your account > Payment Information
    Update this section with your correct credit card information and Save.

  • 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/

  • Galaxy s5 not receiving messages from iphone users

    Ok so sorry about the long question but I just bought a galaxy s5 to replace my iphone 4s and im having trouble getting messages from iphone users.  I tried turning off imessage, turned off find my iphone, resetting the device completely, and even created a new apple id but nothing has worked in the past 6 hours. The only thing I have left is to contact apple support but I really dont want to spend $20 to talk to someone if I dont have to... Any help at this point will be apprectiated.  Thanks

    At the risk of repeating some information, I'm leaving a full message here because I found many of the suggestions above to be vague and confusing. This is a step by step of the call that I just put in to Apple to fix this issue with Samsung S5 Galaxies not getting text messages from iPhones. This process should only be necessary if you no longer have possession of your iPhone; if you do, it seems from messages above you can go into your iPhone's settings and turn off iMessage yourself.
    NOTE: According to Victoria, the Apple rep who was familiar with the problem and (supposedly, within the next half hour to 24 hours) fixed the problem, iPhone users who have updated to IOS 7.1.1 --not just 7.1, but the 7.1.1 specifically -- will not have this issue, as 7.1.1 fixed the issue causing this disconnect. However, any iPhone user operating under 7.1 or previous systems will not be able to send an S5 Galaxy user a text without an elaborate and individualized process to remove the former iPhone user's iMessage link. So, here's what I did:
    1. Called Apple Support at 800-694-7466 (I could not find the section headings/descriptions mentioned by FoxFifth above on the website listed; the sections did not match anything on the page linked to that supplied url)
    2. Followed the prompts, which involved giving my phone number (the one now linked to my Galaxy S5 but formerly to my iPhone 4s) and verbally requesting a representative at the appropriate time after the appropriate prompt. NOTE: disregard the warning about a $19 one-time service charge; it will not apply once you speak to someone.
    3. Wait for a rep.
    4. When the rep answers, say, "I just upgraded from my iPhone (4, 4s, 5, etc.) to a Samsung Galaxy S5 and can no longer receive texts from other iPhone users. I found online that this is because my iMessage is still turned on and I need you to deactivate my iMessage that automatically sends other iPhone users' messages to that old phone, which I no longer have."
    5. The rep, who -- if they are anything like Victoria, who said she's done this "quite a lot today, actually" -- will recognize your issue. The rep will send you a text message to your new device, which contains an alphanumeric code that you must read back to the rep to authenticate it. At that time, the rep will put in your iMessage deactivation request; it should (here's fingers crossed) become active within 24 (some users here say 48, so be patient) hours, at which time the problem should disappear.
    I hope this is detailed enough to help everyone else out there. Based on the Apple rep's familiarity with my problem, I'm hopeful the process will work as promised. I will update when I know for sure after a day or two that it is (or isn't) working.

  • Switched to android and not receiving txts from iPhone users

    Hello,
    I recently switched from an iPhone 4 to an android.  I am not able to recieve texts from iPhone users who upgraded to the new IOS.  I have deleted my phone number from Apple ID.  I do not have my iPhone anymore.  I can't ask all my clients to delete my number and add me again or anything like that.  I need to do it on my end.  Any suggestions?

    1. Change the password of your Apple ID at appleid.apple.com
    2. Go to https://supportprofile.apple.com , log in with your Apple ID, then remove the iPhone from your support profile.
    3. Borrow another iOS device; log into iMessage with your Apple ID, then log out of iMessage.

  • Not receiving messages from iPhone users

    I recently switched from an Iphone 4S to an android and now im not able to receive any messages from iphone users. How do i fix this problem if i no longer have the iphone in my possession?

        Hi Brimc07,
    No need to worry! Everything on your device is 100%. There actually is an issue with some users who've updated to iOS 7. I've been able to notice this issue first hand. The issues would relate to your friends apple devices. I recommend having one of them turn off their iMessage and retry sending you a new message. I guarantee 100% you'll be able to receive the message. Apple is currently working on an improvement, thanks!

  • XL reporter not being started from terminal user

    Dear Experts,
    The excel reporter add-on is not getting started from the terminal client. It says, "add-on connection timed out" and says displays another message, " an attempt was made to reference a token that does not exist."
    Please share your ideas and oblilge.
    Thanks.

    what version of .NET framework they're using?
    Several useful information:
    - The exel reporter can only work in .NET 1.1, so if the client has the .net 2.0, it doesn't mean that it will work. it's not backward compatible, and XLReporter must be in .NET 1.1, so the solution is in SAP NOTE no:918188. So refer to this note if .net is really the cause. then you have to download the file (very small around 1KB), and paste it in the ...\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11 and replace the file
    EXCEL.exe.config with the one you just downloaded (which has the same name but with small capital letter).
    IMHO, the best practice is to keep the original file and put the "_" in front of it. so that you won't lose the original file.
    -XLreporter do not work in Office 2007, so the client must use office 2003. This one I just heard around other SAP Consultant that involved with the problem, I didn't really get involved yet with this one
    Hope this helps...
