SMS Texting Since Update of Our Phones = Broken

It's fairly apparent by now that the latest Verizon update causes problems for people to send texts. Particularly in terms of the sending icon just circling/animating over and over without proof of sent. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Third party apps or not; this is an issue.
Also apparent, by discussion with friends, and researching online, this is a rather vast problem impacting many.
Curious what Verizon's plan is to fix as various hard resets, removing batteries, deleting various cache/data, trying different texting apps do not fix the problem.
Please advise. Thank you.
(Using Motorola Bionic, FYI)

Curious. Why did you ask your question in the DROID Razr space and not the DROID BIONIC by Motorola space? The two phones are completely different.

I have not deleted ANY texts since I got my phone and Ihave not synched. I just can't scroll back in a thread to older texts. How can I get back to read those?

I have not deleted ANY texts since i got my phone 10 weeks ago. Nor have I syched. How can I go back to earlier texts in a thread to see them again?

I've found that the easiest way to view old texts is by archiving them to my computer using a program such as PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac or PC). I generally save important threads to a .pdf for future reference.

Since updating my I phone 5c to ios7.1 yesterday my HSBC fast balance ap will not work! Anyone got this problem ?

Since updating my I phone 5c yesterday to ios7.1 my HSBC fast balance app has stopped working. Has this happened to anyone else? What's the fix?

I had this problem and realised that after the update my Wi-Fi wasn;t connected. Once I reconnected to Wi-Fi everything worked again. Wouldn't work in 3G mode (at least when reinstalling the app and using the activation code). Once I activated in Wi-Fi mode it started working...

SMS texts, not Imessages, on multiple phones with the same Apple ID

Is it possible that outgoing and incoming SMS texts, not imessages, could be seen on two seperate Iphones that share the same Apple ID? I'm wondering because I have been SMS texting a friend about a gift for my husband and I'm wondering if he was able to read them.
Thanks!

Outgoing or Incoming texts? I was texting with a person with an iphone that is one the same network, if that matters. But they were all green, so i know they were SMS.

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

Right-click or control-click the line and select

from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Can I auto forward sms/text messages to another phone?

I find myself in the unenviable position of carrying two phones and I need to have my main phone (iPhone 4) forward sms/text messages to my other phone (Samsung Infuse).
After tinkering with the various setting on the phone, and trying to Google it for the past couple of days I haven't been able to find ANYTHING!
If anyone knows of any apps, settings, tips, tricks, or work arounds I would really appreciate it!
Thanks,
GBA

Take a look at Google Voice. I use it so I don't have to carry 2 phones. One personal, one for work.
It gives you a new number that you can direct to ring multiple phones simultaneously if you like. It will also handle text messages and forward them for you.
Even if you're only going to carry one phone, this gives you a # you can have other people call without having to give them your personal #.
There are other neat tricks you can pull with this. For example, it can display your GV # in the caller ID for incoming calls instead of the actual callers #. If you have a plan that gives you unlimited calling to specific #s, that means all those calls can be free if you add it to your friends/family/Alist/whatever they call it now.
You can also set time restrictions so that it will only forward calls/messages during certain hours or to different phones at different times. When I'm working or on call, I get calls from the office. If I'm not, they won't ring through (they want me on call, they can pay me for it. lol)
I don't know if it will be helpful for you, but it might be. The service is free with cheap international calling rates.

Receive iMessage and SMS text in one window

I was wondering if anyone knows of a setting or whether its even possible to receive an iMessage from an iPad and a SMS text from a non Apple phone within one chat window when they both are coming from the same person. Someone text's me throughout the day from her non iPhone. When she gets home and hops on her iPad, she sends me messages from iMessage. This opens two different chat windows. Any way to fix this?

I'm sorry, Apple will not read this. They do not participate in the forum. If you would like to provide them with feedback about this, you can do that HERE. Then click on the appropriate link. While switching between iMessage and SMS in a single conversation is possible, remember as I said, you are conducting two separate conversations, because they are coming from two separate devices, that are actually crossing platforms.

Setting up SMS Text message iCal alert

Hey all, I'm trying to set up iCal to send an sms text message alert to my phone as describe on one of apples tutorials. Either my phone isn't working, or iCal is not sending the alert. Does iCal have to be open for this to work? Does macmail? Anyone have any suggestions, or can someone link up to a previous discussion that covered this topic?

Hey all,
thanks for checkin up on it.
The discussion posted by John has the information I was referring to.
The problem might be with how the telephone company handles email/sms texts rather than with iCal
I'll post a reply when I get this figured out.
Thanks for the replies

Since updating to OS5, my text messages are being sent as e-mails. Also, my contacts do not show the people's phone

Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5, it seems my texts are being sent as e-mails or in e-mail form. The person I am texting gets a phone number and not my name. Also, when I click on contacts to text to, where it used to show the phone number and I would touch the number to text, it just shows the persons name, no phone#.
Thanks for any help!
Kerry

Settings > Messages > Send and Received > Uncheck any number/email that does not belong to the device
Note: The little blue (>) will give you an option to remove the number/email from the device
Note: Check this setting on any device(s) using the same Apple ID

TS2755 Since updating my iPhone 5 to ios7 my phone has trouble sending iMessages. Sometimes it won't send the message and will not automatically send it as an SMS despite this option being selected in settings. It's happening with 3 other people I know to

Since updating my iPhone 5 to ios7 my phone often fails to send iMessages. It won't automatically send as an SMS despite this being switched on in the settings section. This is also happening wig my partners phone and my mothers phone. I want to report it to Apple but I don't know how.
Firstly, is there a way this can be reported to Apple so they can fix the bug? And secondly, does anyone have any suggestions in relation to fixing this problem?
I usually love my phone but I am finding it unreliable at the moment and am wishing I didn't update it.

Restart your phone.
Apple Feedback http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Send a bug report via its Bug Reporter system.
To do this, join the Mac Developer Program—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that.
Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report. You get a response and a follow-up number thus starting a dialog with engineering.
