Switched to Galaxy S4 from iPhone 3GS, messages sent from other iPhone users going to my iPhone as iMessages.

Hi, I just got a Samsung Galaxy S4, and activated it this morning. My prior phone is the iPhone 3GS, running iOS 6.0.1. Whenever someone using an iPhone sends me a message, it goes straight to iMessage and doesn't go to my Galaxy. I have no service on my iPhone, just wifi. Even when an iPhone owner sends it to my phone number it goes to iMessage. I disassociated my phone number from my Apple ID, and I removed my phone number from Settings and just put 0, since you have to put in something or else you can't save it. Please help! I want all my messages to go to my new phone, but still have the option to use iMessage in my old iPhone using my email, so I can use it like an iPod.
Thanks in advance :)

Speak with an AppleCare advisor either over the phone or by chat.
They will remove your phone number from the iMessage system. That's it! Otherwise after 45 days your phone nymber will automatically be removed from the system. Now or later, it's your choice.

  • My wife and I each have an iPhone 4S. With the upgrade to ios6 all text messages sent from my phone show up on hers to include responses from my text. text that she sends from her phone appear as if from mine. How do we stop it?

    My wife and I each have an iPhone 4S. Ever since the upgrade to ios6, text messages sent from my iPhone also appear on hers? All response to those text also show up on both devices. Likewise, text sent by her appear to others as having been sent from my iPhone. I have tried turning group messages off but nothing works. How can I correct this on both phones? Appreciate any help.

    You need a separate email address but you've already ruled out that solution.

  • I have recently bought a second I phone4 and have the same apple ID on both of them, strangely I noticed the messages sent from one phone appearing the other one along with any pictures I sent from one of my Iphones. Is it possible to see the same msgs.

    You need to setup different Receive At addresses for iMessage.
    If you don't want the same pics on each, turn off PhotoStream.

  • Iphone 4 recieves my brothers iphone 3gs messages when sent via imessage

    My iphone 4 recieves my brothers iphone 3gs messages when sent via imessage. When he texts me, his name comes through as my email address. I think this could be because we both have the same itunes account. not all messages my brother sends i recieve but i would just like this sorted out. please help!

    Sounds like you signed up the same account for iMessages or the same phone number was added to iMessages.
    Go into SETTINGS/MESSAGES/SEND & RECEIVE
    That is the list of numbers and email addresses that the phones will receive iMessages for. Remove the duplicates that you might see between the two phones. Also make sure that the Apple ID at the top is not the same.

  • Iphone 3gs message

    This usually means your iPhone's dock connector port has damage - physical or moisture damage.

  • Messages sent from iMessanger on Mac wont come through on my iPhone

    Hey there,
    Ive been sending messages from iMessenger on my Mac to friends and they are receiving them on their phones and Mac messengers from me as normal, however they dont come through on my iPhone. So I have two seperate messages happening.. I can have conversations with friends from my phone or computer but they are not syncing up together. How am I able to have messages sent from my Mac appear on my iPhone?
    Hopefully that wasnt too confusing, kind of hard to explain.
    Thanks in advance!

    Go into iMessages settings to see what e-mail is linked with the account. If your daughters email is listed there, that is the reason you are receiving her iMessages.

    Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

    I bought iPhone 3GS(Used) recently and updated ios 6.1.3 my iPhone is taking blurry Pictures through basic default Cam app.Can anybody please let me know any solution for this?

    Basic troubleshooting steps right out of the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  If you've been through ALL the steps and you still have the problem, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • Hi frnds, i am using iphone 3gs, i want to know how can i update my iphone to ios 4.3.3

    hi frnds, i am using iphone 3gs, i want to know how can i update my iphone to ios 4.3.3 or any other ios.

    Please note the iPhone 3G can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1.
    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

  • HTC Sensation not able to open text messages sent from iPhone4 iOS6

    Up until I installed iOS 6, my friend had no trouble receiving and opening a standard (green) text message sent from my iPhone4. After the new install, his phone receives the message but as a text file that won't open. He hasn't changed anything on his end nor have I changed anything else, so I'm assuming this must be the culprit. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Thank you for any suggestions.

    Have you figured this out yet?

  • Messages sent from secondary mailboxes getting stuck in Outbox.

    I have two users who recently began having a problem with messages sent from secondary mailboxes getting stuck in their Outbox.
    The details:
    We're using Exchange Server 2010 version 14.03.0224.002
    Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1
    Office 2010 version 14.0.7140.5002 (32-bit)
    The user in question whom I will call Jane has full rights and send as rights to the department's mailbox (which I will call "Common"), however, the Outlook profile on her computer is setup so that Common is the default mailbox
    and Jane is a secondary mailbox. 
    The problem is that in the last few weeks messages send from Jane get stuck in the Outbox.  We have recreated Jane's Outlook profile on her computer which resolves the problem, but only for a day or two before it begins to happen again. 
    Additional info: Jane logs into her computer and her email as herself. As stated above she has full rights and send as rights to Common. Common also has full rights and send as rights to Jane's email. 
    We have used this setup successfully for many years for several of our users. The problem started with one user a few weeks ago and now a second user who accesses a different Common mailbox is having the same problem.  Both systems have been
    thoroughly checked for viruses and malware, etc.
    Anybody got any ideas?

    The same thing happens to me. Really irritating. However, even after rebooting, the mail is sometimes stuck in the outbox. Anybody have a solution?

  • Messages sent from a shared mailbox aren't saved to the Sent Items.

    Messages sent from a shared mailbox aren't saved to the Sent Items.
    In my enviroment , I have Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2007 - i have a shared mailbox called
    ServiceDesk. I have added this mailbox to user "Mike" and given mike "Send as Permission" .
    The problem
    When ever mike sends an email from ServiceDesk
    - the email goes to his personal sent items instead of the sharedmailbox
    sent items. Is there a way to force any email sent from serviceDesk Mailbox to its own sent items folder? .

    Below is a similar solution to my problem but i do not want to make any changes to my registry. Please any other solution to this?

    Hi,
    This is maybe the wrong forum for this question, but anyway;
    Thie site you were pointing out's solution is valid.
    Please look in to the following KB article that describes the steps needed to solve this issue. A hotfix package (which you might not need and a  a "fixit" dowload for it, but will also change the registry key.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972148
    If you have a larger environment and would want to deploy the registry value, I'd suggest using Group Policy Preferences Registry settings.

  • I have an old iphone 3gs which is backed up on itunes. bought a new iphone 4gs and need to back it up. will syncing new phone erase old 3gs data?

    i have an old iphone 3gs which is backed up on itunes. bought a new iphone 4gs and need to back it up. will syncing new phone erase old 3gs data?

    This is not very iTunes Public Site Manager related... but I was in the same situation as you a little while ago.
    1 - Sync/back up your old 3gs.
    2 - Activatie your new phone when connected to itunes via cable and it will ask you if you want to restore our old phone.
    3 - ???
    4 - profitt!
    might also work with icloud but i have not tried that method.
