SMS and MMS message failure...

Hello!
I would like to suggest a feature to be built in to the next iOS update.
If a message fails to send due to lack of signal etc... It would be much better if the phone automatically re tried to send the message when possible. Rather than us manually having to resend! My previous Nokia's have been doing that for years!
Thanks!

Can I recover sms and mms messages if I have never backed up my iphone?

Hello,
I am completely new to the Apple family and am having a hard time understanding how the initial backup to iCloud affects my deleted iMessages, SMS, and MMS correspondences. I want to recover a group of SMS and MMS conversations that my toddler deleted...I know...I know - so green I did not even initiate the lock screen. To be honest, we don't lock devices in our home. I have never backed-up/signed into iCloud from my iphone. I keep seeing posts about texts/pic not being "really" deleted as some can find them in a search. Is it possible to recover these at all without using thrid party software? Some part of me believes that becasue I have never backedup my phone, the deleted data is just waiting to be "dumped" into iCloud...maybe that is the illogical and sleep deprived part. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you “Synced” your iPhone "SMS" to iTunes and/or backup to the cloud, you may be able to recover messages from an iPhone SIM Card. I use a program called iOS data recovery that will take the text messages from the backup and allow you to restore them and/or back them up to an external application.
Restore from iTunes backup:
Step 1: Connect your iPhone to the PC/Mac
Step 2: Open iTunes
Step 3: Click on Devices tab
Step 4: Right-click on the iPhone that’s connected and click ‘Backup’
Step 5: Note that this will effectively remove all old information on your iPhone and get the backup data on your iPhone. If you had backed up sms too in your previous iTunes backup, those will be restored to the iPhone and you should mostly recover that deleted sms messages now.

Can't access my work email and any sms and mms

I have a blackberry storm 2 9550. I have 2 email accounts set up on it, my work email and my home email. I also have an icon for sms and mms messages. They are separate accounts and up until yesterday they were working fine. Now both email account icons show my home emails when depressed. Also the sms and mms icon show my home emails as well. Now if I lightly touch my work email icon, it displays the correct work email address but when I depress it it displays my home email address and home emails. What a glitchy device. I would like to view my work emails which is why I got the blackberry. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks
Norm

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

SMS and MMS cannot display contact name (E51)

I try to restore a backup file, from my old 3230 and 6670, via Nokia PC Suite into my newly bought E51, everything work just fine.
But I noticed that the sender of SMS and MMS in E51 [inbox] only display in number(e.g. '+601********'), instead of sender name as in [contacts](e.g. 'Michael'). Even I select the text message, choose [options] > [Add to Contacts] > [Create New]/[Update existing], it won't work, neither with the country code (+601*******) or without (01********). (note: I'm very sure that phone number is not duplicated in the contact).
Somehow, a good news is, any sms or mms received from the network provider can display the sender name according to [contacts], and it store as it even after I deleted the saved item in [contact] or rename the entry. Ha ha, a bit complicated compare to the S60v2 phone...
Anyone have idea on this?

Hi there,
my E66 has the exact same problem. IN addition when in coming calls come in, they don't show the contact name. It only shows the number. I think it may hae to do with new contacts added after contacts from your old phone were added. I also notice that my old contacts transferred to the phone doesn't have the extra menu 'syncronisation'.

Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue. I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them eithe

Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue. I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them either failing or not sending at all. Is there an outage in the Cleveland, Ohio area (zip codes 44129, 44134, 44137) or anything else I can do to resolve this issue?

Not that I'm a Verizon employee, but I have experience in the field. An LTE tower will only extend up to, on a perfect day, with no elevation, 6-7 miles. On a typical day, you will be lucky at four (4) miles. The three ZIP codes you've given are all within about a 12 mile radius. That would mean that 2-3 towers are currently down at the same time, and Verizon would know about it within the hour. Being it's Cleveland, I'm sure they would receive numerous calls regarding an outage of that size.
My point is that if you're having issues in all three ZIP codes, chances are it's a phone issue. If you're handset is simply not receiving LTE, but still receiving 3G, that would signify a SIM card issue. You need to get your SIM card replaced.

SMS and MMS issues with Z10

Every since I updated my phone (10.1.0.4181), my SMS and MMS have been failing. My SMS will often freeze on one conversaton for up to half an hour and won't let me type or move to a different conversation, though I can go back to the hub or access my apps. Clicking on a different conversation just takes me back to the one that it froze on. Sometimes the entire conversation area is just grey and I can't see anything. My MMS will not send at all, every time that I try it just fails and says "General Problems". When I try to receive them a download button pops up, but when I click on it the button just disappears and nothing happens. I have tried rebooting the phone and pulling the battery, neither has helped. I have tried turning the data off an on again (with a reboot in between) at the suggestion of someone else, but still without success. Everything else in the Hub functions properly, just not my SMS or MMS. Help!

I am having this exact same problem, as well as my contacts list has been scrambled so that the names and numbers no longer match. The phone worked excellent until I updated to 4181 which has completely ruined the useability of my phone.

Best way to view iPhone sms and imessage messages from backup

Hello I have sms and imessage messages that I would like to export from my phone or computer to be viewed on another device. I know there is a way to view texts through third party software and I was wondering if there is one that is particularly good at it or if there was a native way to do it? Any help would be much appreciated as these texts will be used as evidence in a court case so some kind a log format with timestamps would be ideal.

I actually purchased GoodReader because it is easy to transfer files without iTunes. I dislike the file sharing through iTunes. You can use a Mac or PC. Once I was in the app I clicked the "Wi-Fi" symbol which brings me to "WiFi-transfer." It will show this --
"WiFi status: ON
Use one of the following addresses exactly as you see them
1. IP-address: http://192.168.0.98:8080 <-- Local LAN address the iPhone is broadcasting on.
2. Bonjour-address http://Myname-iPhone.local:8080"
All you have to do is type one of those addresses into your browser. (Safari, etc.)
It will take you to a page that has iPhone Connection and a list of options. You can either create a new directory within the application or use an existing one to upload a text file. It's rather simple, you just select "Choose a file to upload" > Select your file > Press upload > Start the app and see your text/pdf/whatever file.
You can also connect to a server to download a text file, browse the web, or enter a url. I see it also has an ICloud folder which I'm not sure if it integrates with Apple's iCloud or not, I think it does. I'm not affliated with the app and I'm not saying you have to buy it, I'm just a happy user.
If you don't want to buy this app let me know I'll keep looking for a free or cheaper one for you if you want.

How to import sms and mms data from 6600 to N73

Hi to all, I'm trying to import all my old data on my nokia 6600, to my new N73 ME, fw rel V 3.0368.0.0.30, because I don't like the idea to lose all my sms and mms from the old phone. I encountered a lot of problems. First thing, the transfer apps only leaves to import via bluetooth and so on data like contacts and multimedia. So I tried to copy from dir mail of the mmc of Nokia 6600 to the dir mail2 under hidden folder Private on the mini sd of my new N73. What happens? In the first moment it seems all ok, because when I switch under sms to memory cards, the N73 read all the sms like they were on phone. But first of all, it doesn't see the mms, it see only the title, but when I open them it gives me error. This doesn't happens with sms, that are all ok. The problem is that when I turn off the phone, it doesn't turn on anymore, it hangs until I've to remove the mini SD. After many tries, I've understood that maybe the problem is with the file index in mail2 folder. Someone has any idea or have tried to import sms and mms from his old Nokia phone to the new N73 and so could help me? Thanks.

have u actually tried to connect the 6600 with the latest PC suite to see what happens?
if that fails, maybe have a look at the Oxygen Phone Manager software and see if they offer a free trial. i know i used to use OPM before nokia updated there PC suite to work with my 3230Message Edited by rich_enduro on 02-Jan-2007

When we are both on the same group message I won't get the message and this morning I didn't receive het mms. Also we can't send any video message they all say they are too large and they are probably 5 seconds long.

richenk89,
Help has arrived! Are you only experiencing issues with group messages? Do you get any error messages? When attempting to send video messages are you using the stock messaging app or a third party one?

Messages vs Personal Email vs SMS and MMS Text Folders

Last week, I updated my software for my BlackBerry 8310 on the AT&T network. I have been having problems with the receipt of emails since. I seem to been receiving every email twice, once in my personal email folder on the main screen, as well as in the messages folder on the main screen. I had posted asking for help and received help, which can be read here:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=8300&message.id=42082#M42082
I had separted my emails and text messages into their respective folders, and placed the icons for my personal email and SMS/MMS texts on the main screen. I then hid the messages folder. At first, I thought this solved my problem, so I marked the thread as solved. I then received another email and realized that it was delivered twice, once in my personal email folder and once in the messages folder. I then had to un-hide the messages folder to delete the email, so that the new email notification would disappear. I am still in need of help, so that I only receive each email once. At this point, I don't care what folder it goes to, as long as I don't have to delete the same email multiple times. Thank you for any help in advance.
Matthew

they look like 2 copies, they are not 2 copies, they are the exact same copy, just mirrored in another location, but if you delete one... doesnt matter which one, the other one deletes. what you are experienceing is not new. I have been running 4.5 for 2 months now and it works the same as 4.3
I receive an email in my gmail icon and my messeges icon, if I delete it in 'gmail', it deletes in 'messages' automatically
If I delete it in 'messeges' it deletes in 'gmail' automatically

My iphone 5 will send iMessage and mms messages, but not sms messages. Help!

I have already reset network settings, reset all settings, hard reset and even erased and restored my phone and it won't send sms messages. Only iMessage and mms. I don't know what to do

Any ideas on getting facebook 'like' links working in SMS and MMS? A few issues Apple might fix please?

Hi,
I work in a Mobile Marketing company where clients use our bulk SMS / MMS messaging service in Australia. A few things I've noticed where iPhones are falling short in comparison to the competition in RECEIVING messages (and I hope are fixed because I'm an apple fan) - a few inconsistencies:
* Facebook links eg "Like us at http://m.facebook.com/example"... Last night the link worked on my iphone when I sent it from our platform to my handset. (4s Firmware 3.4.03, Version 6.1.3, Telstra) It took me to the page on safari, and even earlier this morning it did - yet now it won't (and I haven't made any changes). I have tried restarting, (soft and firm reboot) as well as ensuring I'm logged in - or out on another page. The link does work on computer as well as on my collegues (4s 6.1.3, Firmware 3.4.03 Vodafone au 14.1) and it IS working there - but not sure for how long (considering it was working on mine earlier too) FYI It also works on 9 differnt android versions of handsets in the office here too.
* occasionally this happens with shortened links too (like a shortened google map link). There seems to be no pattern to the issue.
* When clients send MMS through our platform, the delivery on the iPhones is inconsistent. eg, the client can send WMV / GIF / JPG with a Title, Header and Footer message. The artrwork should fall in the middle of the header and footer. However another inconsitency - sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. I can't see any pattern of it as the layout changes intermittently (from minute to minute). This particular issue is limited to iPhones on software 6 versions.
* In a message, when the LAST WORD in SMS / MMS is a 'link; - like web address or phone number to call, OCCASIONALLY it does not come up as a link (therefore recipient is unlikely to type it out to get to it). Again, no pattern, just 'sometimes' does this happen. Have tried putting a space after it, that doesn't work. Only if another word is put after it will it always work.
* Got feedback yesterday that NO LINKS in message (landlines, mobiles, web address) were working on iphone 5. Not sure if this is a constant or another inconsistent link?
Anyway, I'd really like our clients to be able to use a "like us on facebook" link in their messaging with success... could Apple please look into solving these inconsistencies?
Hoping you can help.

You are not addressing Apple here. We are users like yourself.
The only thing I could think of in regards to this issue since it has worked on some occassions and not others is what if you deleted cookies and history from Safari. Does that make it work again? While SMS/MMS are a carrier function, I also know that some texts from different phones to the iPhone can produce strange results if the other device is using some type of font that is not supported by the iPhone. If you search the forum, you might find something related to that if you search for "strange characters in SMS" or something similar.
When you produce these bulk SMS, do you write just the link, or do you write the HTML code in the SMS?

Receiving SMS and MMS in the same application.

Hello.
Is it possible to have a midlet that can start two server-mode MessageConnections, one for SMS and other for MMS, and receive messages on both? It seems that only the MessageConnection created first (be it SMS or MMS) will actually receive messages, at least in the WTK.
With two SMS MessageConnections there is no problem. In the WMA specification I cannot find any restrictions in MessageConnection related to the type of message (SMS / MMS).
Thanks for any help, and sorry if this issue has already been discussed, but I haven't found any explanation of this.
