SMS messages are not saved on iphone on ios 7.0.4

After updating  iPhone 4S to ios 7.0.4  it was a week before I realized that there was a problem with sending and receiving messages. They appeared to be hanging at about 90% when sending and would stay as "sending" even when delivered (to  the other iphone I have). An incoming SMS wouldn't open, i.e., showed no content. Tried all the suggestions re resetting network settings, etc etc etc but nothing worked. I have done a complete restore of the ios and I have sent and received a SMS successfully but they are not being saved. Sent message has disappeared and incoming message is read but isn't there later, just disappears. Vanishes. I like to keep some messages to refer back to sometimes while others I am happy to delete almost immediately.
Is this a problem or is it a "feature" of ios 7?

Hi,
So you are unable to access Notification Centre and Control Centre from all screens including the home screen?
You can try activating AssistiveTouch by "Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > AssistiveTouch: ON".
In some cases activating this feature has known to fix this issue (whilst the feature is active). I cannot think of any other immediate fixes. Hopefully Apple will address this issue soon in a forthcoming update to iOS 7.
Hope this solves your issue!

  • Sent Messages are not saved in Sent Mailbox

    It was working correctly but suddenly all my sent messages are not saved in the Sent Mailbox. I follow all the Mail Help instructions but nothing seems to work. Hope that someone can help me. I asked for help on december 14 but it was not helpful

    The mailboxes drawer contains all mailboxes under In, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk (if you have Junk Mail set to automatic).
    If you have a .Mac or IMAP type account, you also have an account named icon for the .Mac or IMAP type account at the bottom of the mailboxes drawer. It is named by the Account Description you provided/entered for the account under the Account Information tab for the account preferences.
    If you select save Sent messages on the server for a .Mac or IMAP type account, the account's Sent mailbox will be available under the account named icon in the mailboxes drawer along with all other server stored mailboxes.
    To open the account named icon for your .Mac account to reveal the server stored mailboxes including the account's Sent mailbox, select the black triangle beside your .Mac account icon in the mailboxes drawer pointing it down.
    Select the account's Sent mailbox and at the menu bar, go to Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For and select Sent.
    If you deselect store Sent messages on the server for the account preferences, the account's Sent mailbox will be available under Sent in the mailboxes drawer and you can't use "Use This Mailbox For" for mailboxes stored locally on the hard drive. It can only be used for .Mac or IMAP type account mailboxes that are stored on the server.

  • Mail 3, smtp, IMAP: sent messages are not saved on server

    Hello,
    I had problems using Mail 3 after I upgraded to Leopard, so I used Thunderbird for the time being. With the update 10.5.1 I tried again: most problems solved BUT: sent messages are not saved on the server in mailbox "Sent".
    Some background: I deleted the folder "<User>/Library/Mail" and "<User>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist" and configured Mail from scratch.
    To be sure: I still have Thunderbird installed, and when I send with Thunderbird: a copy is placed in "Sent".
    Another thing I noticed: it takes more than a minute to send from Mail 3 and a few seconds when I send from Thunderbird. I have another Macbook Pro with 10.5.0 installed: same problem with sending.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Well, be stumped I did all that, but to be sure, I did it again:
    I have a lot folders with subfolders and they are shown under my account name.
    I created a new folder "test" in my IMAP account and designated it to be the new "Sent" folder. It replaces my previous Sent folder in the group Inbox, Drafts, Trash. My previous Sent folder now appears under my account name as a "normal" folder.
    I send a message and the Activity monitor says: +"Delivering message: copying message"+. After a minute Mail is done. I check my (new) "Sent" folder and it's empty. I double check in webmail: it's empty.
    So I go to the Finder and look in my IMAP folder: <user>/Library/Mail/<IMAP-account>/test.imapmbox and there is no folder "Messages", only Info.plist.
    Then I try to move a message to the "Sent' folder: for a minute the Activity moinor says: Copying messages: copying message" and then Mail prompts: +"The message "testing" could not be+
    +The connection to the server mail.hicetnunc.nl on port 143 timed out"+.
    So it looks like Mail has a problem with the default "Sent" folder: it cannot copy messages to that folder at all! Aha!
    But then I try to move a message to a "normal" IMAP folder: same thing! Mail cannot copy to any folder!
    In both instances Mail says: +"The message "..." could not be be moved to the mailbox "..."+
    +The connection to the server mail.hicetnunc.nl on port 143 timed out"+
    Last thing: I try to move a message to a folder in the same account again. But in the process I quit Mail. I open Mail again and Mail is performing pending operations: copying message. After a while Mail prompts: +"Operation could not be completed. (MFMessageErrorDomain error 1028.)"+ and crashes... I open Mail again and it tries to peform pending operations. Again: an error message and Mail crashes. This keeps going on so I delete the whole account and set it up again. Nothing's changed...
    I can receive and send, but sent messages are not copied to the "Sent" folder and I cannot move messages around within a IMAP account. But TADA!!!: I can move messages from account to account.

  • Yahoo Mail: New Inbox Messages Are Not Downloaded To iPhone

    Keywords: iPhone, Yahoo, mail, push, slow, broken, stopped, inbox, new messages, IMAP
    Problem Description:
    I just went through an entire day of restarting, restoring, reconfiguring my iPhone after the Mail App stopped downloading new messages from my Yahoo Inbox. Other folders could receive new messages, but not the Inbox.
    After trying to get help from Apple support and Yahoo, I kept searching online. I managed to find a solution that worked and I thought I'd share this here in case anyone else has run into this problem, which I believe is a Yahoo issue, not an Apple one.
    Solution:
    From a web browser do the following
    - Log into your Yahoo Mail account via mail.yahoo.com
    - Create a new folder in Yahoo Mail (I called it "Archive")
    - Move ALL MESSAGES from your Inbox to this new folder ("Archive" in my case)
    - Send yourself a test message
    After performing these steps (essentially archiving your Inbox to another folder), you should start receiving Yahoo Inbox messages again on your iPhone. After I performed the above procedure, Yahoo Mail has been more responsive than ever before on the iPhone - even faster than my old BlackBerry...
    It seems as though the Yahoo IMAP server gets really slow or malfunctions when either there is a corrupt message or the Inbox gets too large (not sure which). It would be really cool if someone from Yahoo (or Apple) could confirm this.
    I'd be interested to see if anyone else has run into this issue and if this procedure solves the issue for you... I know for me, I will be periodically Archiving my Inbox to another folder to keep things operating smoothly.
    Good Luck!

    Hmm.. this seems to work..
    I emptied both "Spam" and "Trash" folder on a browser. After that, new emails seem to push to iPhone right away now. Let's see how long this will last..
    Does that mean that I would have to make sure there's no email in these two folders to make push work at all time?

  • Since upgrading to 31.4.0 my Reply messages are not saved.

    When sending a Reply I get an error message "There was an error saving the message to Sent. Retry?" Clicking OK brings the same error message again and again. Cancelling or closing the error message stops the error message, but my Reply is not saved, though I've subsequently confirmed that it is indeed sent.

    Hi Jonty, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    If I could see how to post a screenshot I would as this might help for you to see the problem.
    Find a place to host the pic online, then Look at this post telling how to format (including adding graphics) posts for Apple Discussions...

    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.

  • AOL and mail some sent messages are not saved

    I have been having a problem with sent messages using mac mail and my aol account. Occasionally the message will get hung up and will take a long time to send. The send progress bar fills up and the message is eventually sent, but it is not copies to my sent folder. This happens for about one out of every ten emails that I send.

    Hello p:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    That is, I am relatively sure, an AOL server problem (happens to me occasionally).
    You might try Open DNS (the free one) to see if it will address other possible problems.

  • HT4859 If the SMS messages are not a choice for the data to backup, along with things such as "camera roll" and other apps, does that mean it isn't being backed up?

    I want to backup my text messages but it's not a choice. Does it still backup? Or do I need to figure out how to make it a choice?

    It will still back up.

  • Long SMS messages are being cut off-- iPhone 5 (original model), iOS 7.1.2

    When I receive messages from people on different carriers, AT&T in particular, I only receive the first 160 characters. The reason I'm asking is because this is a recent problem. I had no issue receiving long texts from people before; it would either become one long message or several which were =<160 characters. Why is this happening, and what can I do? This is very frustrating.

        Sam7ii,
    Thank you very much for that information. Just to verify, when someone with an Android phone texts you over 160 characters you successfully receive the entire message, right? Please try deleting all iMessages or text messages from the ones you're having issues with and then see if your phone will successfully receive a long message.

  • Messages are not searchable in 4S with IOS 8.2

    Hi All,
    I am still facing same search issue in IOS 8.2. I followed this thread and tried changing languages and keyboard trick. But still same issue. its not at all searchabe.
    Please let me know what i need to do..

    If not, try these steps as needed:
    Reset: press both home and lock buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Restore to factory settings using iTunes, also restoring a backup

  • IOS 5: regular messages are not sent if one recepient is registered with iMessage

    There is a bug in iOS 5: SMS messages are not sent if one receipients mobile number is registered with iMessages.
    This is confirmed by the developer of the team sms app:  if you send a message to a number of receipients and one of the recepients mobile numbers, the message is sent do, is registered with iMessage, then none of the recipients will receive the message.
    Does anyone know a work around until Apple comes up with a bugfix?
    Regards, Til

    I am not sure about the details of your case, but I can confirm that a message does send to multiple recipients even if one of this has iMessage.  I recently sent a message to two people, one with a BB and one with an iPhone 4 (iOS 5 and iMessage working).  Because of the difference, it resorted to the least common denominator and sent the message as a standard text to both people.  I was replied to by both parties.  Based on your description I can confirm that your detail is not the case.
    Have you checked through the settings in Messages?  Do you have a texting plan associated with your account?  I am sorry if these questions seem stupid, but they are worth asking to verify.
    I hope this helps!

  • Messages are not being saved on N96

    On my N96 I have set save sent messages and receive report as 'yes' but after updating firmware (20.050) messages are not being saved.Is there any solution to someone.

    I have exactly the same problem with my N95 but I can't really say when it started. Suddenly I just noticed my phone didn't save sent messages anymore and hadn't done it for some time, but can't really tell after what it started to occur. Really strange problem, not even reseting back to factory settings helped - after I put "receive report" option back it stops saving sent messages to sent folder. Actually if I go to "sent" folder quickly after sending the sms, it shows there for little moment before disappears. Really strange. I couldn't google any other information about this problem than this topic.

  • The messages sent with PC suite are not saved in m...

    I have a bluetooth device to connect my phone (Nokia 6233) to PC. When I'm trying to send a message everything goes perfect (the message is sent) only one problem appear: the message is not saved in my phone.
    Any ideas for this problem?
    Why the messages sent with PC suite are not saved in my phone?

    there may be differencies between phone models here (S60 devices or S40 devices, you have S40). Also if I recall right, it used to be so that some older versions of PC Suite did not save the PC sent sms's to phone.
    However, with my N95 the messages are saved. So make sure you have the latest Pc Suite and then try again. If it fails, then it might be that message saving is not supported with S40 phones (Anyone having a S40 phone could verify this)
