Text fail, then randomly sends?

Why does my phone fail to send messages, then randomly send messages? I'll attempte to send a text, it'll fail. I'll have to try again 2-3 times sometimes. Then I'll get a text a day later or several hours later from folks saying that I'm texting them from earlier? I'm hearing that this issue is isolated to the iPhone 4s?

Erase any conversation you have with this person in your Messages, then start a new one and see if it does same thing. If it still doesn't go through right away, it's a problem with your friend's iMessage setup, not yours.

Photo Delivery Failed - then iPhone sends 6-8 copies of the Photo

Photo Delivery Failed - then iPhone sends 6-8 copies of the Photo, each a minute a part?
iPhone 3G ver 2.1, happens on edge & 3G, wifi seems to handle the photo
these are pics shot from the iPhone 3G itself, any ideas?

Help! I have the same issue. I use YAHOO. When I send a photo from my iPhone, it gives an error message "Photo Delivery Failed". I click ok. The Photo was actually sent to the email address even though I had the error message. Next time I unlock the iPhone, I see the Photo Delivery Failure message again. The iPhone then proceeds to send multiple copies of the photo to the email address. I cannot stop it from sending duplicates.
Any suggestions?

The use of iMessage depends on both the sender and the receiver having an active data connection. If either of the two connections are interrupted, the message can fail. The sending of an iMessage differs from the sending of an SMS, and if you are having SMS failures, that would be a carrier concern.

Text fail to send

occasionally, texting fails, same person ea time, txt to email all day every day, totally fine, then suddenly, will not send, just to that person, red '!' Email via phone goes fine at same time, so not her side/isp...any ideas? Flawless 95% of time..

We want to see those picture messages flying again! Does the wireless signal appear strong when attempting the message? What Messaging app are you using myustbedumb? Are you also using a Network Extender?
Thank you,

How can I turn off imessage for just one of my contacts? Me and my husband just upgraded (both had iphone 4), I got the iphone 5s and he got he note 3. All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back

Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times

My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times. My brother has the same phone, lives in the same home and doesn't have this problem. I can't receive messages without my iphone displaying a message asking for my phone number at random times. It happens intermittently. Does anyone know why this happens? I am referring to regula text messages not imessages. I have turned it off and also updated to the most recent software. thanks

I've been an AT&T customer since they were under different names in the 90s and have never heard/seen that. I would check with them. I'd really like to see that error. To get a screenshot on the phone, press the home button and sleep/wake button together quickly and release. You will see the screen flash slightly and hear the camera shutter noise.

Ios 7.4 nightmares. When idle and charging my screens move on their own, types jibberish on its own and sends the jibberish as a text message to random callers, changes sounds on its own. And that's not all!!!

The ios7.04 download for my iphone 4s has tuned the phone into a nightmare. Battery charging time is 3x what it used to be, battery drains after 4 hours whether I talking or phone is idle. I can no longer hear the phone when it rings. Here is the dealbreaker:When idle, untouched and charging the screens move on their own, type jibberish on their own and send the jibberish via text to a random selection of my contacts. The phone is charging now and I am watching the screen move to the alarm stopwatch screen. It From there is has moved to the Sounds screen and has changed my ring tone twice. (It plays the tones as well.). My hands are not on the phone at the time and the homescreen is visible when charging begins. I have turned off so many components of the phone that there is simply no longer any reason to walk around with what has become a functionless burden. The most obvious solution is to say goodbye to Apple and go back to the brand I was using before. Thought I's give this forum one last shot. For the life of me I can not understand why so many of us have so many complaints about our devices yet no one takes the path of least resistance...which is to simply switch to a brand that is reliable. I never had any problems with a cell phone until I switched to Apple.

Thank you. I called my carrier and told them that the i704 os made my phone unusable and that the support in the forums is populated by children like yourself who make nasty comments and provide no support, I was released from my contract. Free at last from rotten Apple and shmucks like you.

My cousin isn't recieving my text messages. We never text through imessage because she is never connected to WIFI. Now, when I text her, it is sending through imessage but she isn't recieving them.

My cousin recently got an Ipad. Ever since then, when we text through our iphones, our thread is through imessage, and when I send her a text, it says delivered, but she isn't recieving them. She insists she has imessage turned off on both devices. She doesn't use imessage because she is never connected to wifi and doesn't want to use her data, so that is why we text through regular texting (green and white). I don't know if this has anything to do with her setting up her ipad, but my texts to her started sending through imessage only right after she set up the new device. My texts are being delivered somewhere because after I text her, it says "delivered" I can also recieve texts from her, she just can't see mine. Again, she said imessage is not activated on either of her devices, so I have no idea what the problem is. She is able to text other people with iphones just fine. We both have an iphone 5S, and she just got a used ipad mini. PLEASE HELP!!

It is no wonder she is not receiving your messages if she has iMessage turned off in her iPad.
For her to receive iMessages on the iPad, she needs to turn iMessage ON in her iPad and then she needs to be connected to the internet in order to receive them. This connection can go through WiFi or through cellular data if her iPad has this functionality, but those two requirements are a must.
1. iMessages ON
2. iPad connected to Wifi or cellular data.

How do I receive multiple texts from the same sender, each individually?

How do I receive multiple texts from the same sender, each individually?

So I receive automated reminders from my job & I want them to come individually. For example, one text -- time stamped 10:14 pm, then another 11:12 am, coming as separate msgs.

I was called from another i-phone and never received the call on my I-phone, texted also, from the same phone and never received the text, even though the sender sees a confirmation on the origin side saying 'message has been delivered.' Seriously, help!

please help me resolve this issue

Thank you. The troubleshooting guide online suggest resetting network settings and I did a restore to factory default. Since then I was able to receive another text message from the sender and it worked fine. He also left a voice mail message (several) and I'm not able to retrieve those either. Thank you so much for responding.

OSD package downloads fail after random percentage with error 80072EFE

This is the most bizarre thing I've ever run into in SCCM and I've been banging my head against the wall for a week on it and it's making me want to switch back to WDS.
The Problem
The issue is when and OSD task sequence begins to download an image from the DP. Sometimes the image is downloaded without problems and sometimes the download just fails a random percentage multiple times before it is successful. For example:
Sometimes the download fails a 9%, it'll retry from the same or different DP and fail at a different percentage, then fail again, then it'll finally download the package from a DP it originally failed from.

What I've tested
I don't think it's the DP because I have three DPs and this error happens with all the DPs
I don't think it's the package because it happens to all OS packages and I've tried updating them, deleting, and recreating them
I don't think it's the machines or NICs because I've tested it on multiple machines that all have different networks cards in different locations
I've run out of ideas and I'm desperate for help. I'm starting to lean towards it possibly being a network issue? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Logs to check, things to test, anything.
Please help!

Hi,
Did you ever find a resolution for this issue? I am also getting the same problem.
Thanks,
Ross
After doing much more testing I found some interesting things and possibly a solution. It turns out we weren't having this issue at other sites over our WANs when pulling images from the server in our NOC, only machines on site with the NOC. I had the network
guys take a closer look at the logs on the core switch and there were a few devices causing excessive CRC/Alignment errors. These devices were unplugged and everything seems to be working fine now. They didn't do any configuration changes that I'm aware of.

Why do i have to turn on my cellular data to send my photo or video over text ( otherwise it wont send at all) when my home wifi is on

LR cant see xmp files unless opened as text file then saved.

Hello I have spent the entire day trying to solve this and I finally found a fix but not the cause. I have tried all the typical ways to sync/read/render to see the xmp data in LR. I spent 3 hours with tech support, and posted on several forums.
After all of this I found the only way for me to see the xmp data is to open the xmp as a text document then save it go into lightroom read metadata and it shows up. This obviously isnt a workable solution for thousands of files so I need to find a cause.
So a little info. I'm using LR5 on a windows. I edit clients images then send them the xmp files with those edits. I have one client thats photos when imported do not show metadata or develop adjustments. This is the only solution I have found to see the info. I believe they are using LR 4 and a MAC.
Is it possible that the problem is the original files are saved on a mac then transfered to my windows machine.
Please any help would be appreciated.
Mike

I posted a link in my previouse post to 2 xmp files one original as recieved the other saved by myself. sorry I did not mention that.
The files posted at the link above were identical.

what I'm saying is before I save the file, if i do read metadata it doesnt see anychange or info from the xmp. No little arrow. After I save it The arrow shows up then I can do read metadata and it works properly.
Gotcha. Begging the question:
A. is there a problem with the data.
B. is there a problem in Lr
C. both
If there was no operator error when posting the before/after files, then the answer is B.
Which file format (filename extension) did ya say?

I'm having an unusual problem with my iphone 4S. When I'm making a call, it suddenly sounds like my call has been invaded by aliens! Why is it doing this? I'm also having problems sending texts. Sometimes it sends sometimes it doesn't.

Could be an issue with your Carrier and/or location...
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Try a Reset...
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release the buttons...

My text messages will not send out since upgrading to iOS7.0.2.

My text messages will not send out since upgrading to iOS7.0.2. What do I need to do?

It seems Apple has a glitch with text/imessages in iOS7 and they are trying to fix it. Many people get it working again by simply restarting thier phone
For me, restarting the phone kind of corrects it for awile but then it starts doing it again. My phone gives no indication the messages havent gone out till after I restart it! Huge problem since I cant tell when it quits sending! I have to keep restarting my phone a couple times a day to make sure all my texts went out!
I also found this procedure but it also seems to be only a temporary fix much like restarting your phone.
Go to Settings and into Messages and disable iMessage. Go into General then into the Reset tab (bottom of the screen). Next, select Reset Network Settings, confirm the choice, and wait for the iPhone to reboot. Once the phone restarts, toggle iMessage back on again.

Text fail, then randomly sends?
