Text messages are not making sounds anymore.

I have the sound on and when I send and receive text messages, I do not hear the alert. I also do not hear the keystrokes.
Speaker phone works when I get a call but I can't hear texts or keystrokes, or the keypad when I am placing a call.
When I plug in the earphones I hear the sounds fine. I pluged in an unplugged the headphones. I also turned on and off the device.
Is speakerphone separate from other sounds??
Does anyone have any suggestions?
(I have an iphone 4 on iOS5)

Since upgrading to iOS7 some text messages are not being sent on my iPhone 5, iMessage on my Ipads and MacBook doesn't have my phone number registered and my reminder colour on my Iphone keeps changing ... among other things. Any suggestions to fix these faults?

Make sure People Sending you via iMessage are sending their messages on your PHONE number not on your EMAIL addresses . My sister had the same problem, thats how i managed to solve it!

My text messages are not being delivered

MY text messages are not being delivered. Keep coming back with the red saying "Not Delivered". Anyone know why this all of a sudden started happening and how to fix it?

Thank You Meg St._Clair contacted my carrier and fixed the problem on my iPhone 6 but still an issue on my iPad mini
Carrier could not fix the problem so said I would have to plug my iPad into my Mac and back it up and then restore factory settings
Havent done any of that yet!

It also takes time for the photos to be transferred out of your iPhone and into Photo stream on Apple's iCloud servers.
Note that this can't happen if your iPhone is not connected to a WiFi network:
When you enable My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your photo stream.
iOS devices: New photos you take are automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.
Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture begin uploading automatically when you have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream are uploaded.
PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

Why does my signal drops and takes a long time to search and connect when I turn on or off my cellular data? And normal text messages are not getting delivered properly. It shows sent but later it will show try again, Is it just me?

I do not know what the problem is, but after the latest update it is really hard to send text messages. It is taking alot of time to send the messages, it is not the problem with the carrier because sending text messages with the same number in the same area is really easy on my normal nokia 1100. Please suggest me what I should check. Second problem I am facing is the carrier signal drops to nothing when I turn on the cellular data. It has to then search for the network and connect again the same happens when I turn the data off again. Please tell a solution. I do not think it is the problem with the hardware because the phone is hardly 2weeks old and everything was working properly with ios 6. It initaly had problem with the battery on updating to ios7 but that was rectified with the new update but again these are the new issues am facing.

This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

Text messages are not going to my non apple phone after switch

I Recently upgraded from an iphone4, to an android device. I do not have the iPhone anymore. Now I am unable to receive text messages from my friends and family with iPhones. How do I get my number out of the apple sever so that I can get my texts!?

The following instructions are from Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone
If you don't have access to your iPhone, or if you can't deactivate iMessage from your iPhone, please contact Apple Support. Support for this issue is free.

My TEXT messages are not coming in except for when im on wifi...this never happened before to me! if i turn Imessage OFF on my phone and ipad it still doesnt come in! HELP

im not getting my TEXT messages anymore until i get around Wifi and then they flow in....i have Imessage on on both iphone and ipad...i tried turning OFF Imessage and they still dont come in!

If they are coming in when you are around wifi, are the bubbles blue or green? SMS messages (green) are cellular and wifi would have nothing to do with this. They won't be carried over wifi. If they are blue bubbles, then they are iMessages and are coming in when you get to wifi because you are finally able to receive data, since you say you have cellular data turned off.

My text messages are not getting received?

I have had this problem with 2 different people that they are not receiving my text messages they appear to be going thru not saying it's a send fail???

As with email, after an SMS/MMS is successfully sent, what happens to the message after that has nothing to do with the cell phone that sent the message.
Ask the recipients to contact their carrier and you do the same.

My text messages are not going through to other iphone users. They are going through to other phone types though.

My text messages on my iphone5 (ios 7.1.2.) are not sending to other iphone users. This is a new problem. The messages send with no problems to other types of phones.

you don't. you tell her to turn off iMessage on her old iPhone

Switched to Android but iPhone text messages are not received

PLEASE HELP! I sold my 3GS on 3 network and switched to a Galaxy S3 on Orange. I have ported my number across. Before I sold my iphone I did a factory restore. My problem is that when iphone users send me a text message, I do not receive it. Their phones still think I am on iMessage. I need to know how to disable my iMessage account even though I have no access to an iphone. I have removed the device from my apple support profile and also from icloud.com. I have absolutely no idea how to solve this and I'm pretty disappointed with Apple that by doing a factory reset, didn't remove my number from the imessage account. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gareth

How come my text messages are not going through as iMessages?

I've been having this problem for a few weeks now. When someone texts me from an iPhone with iMessage, I get their texts as a regular text message. Sometimes there text messages come in "s p a c e d o u t l i k e t h i s". I will also get multiple texts as well. When I respond to their text message, it usually goes through as an iMessage but when they respond, still a text message. Does anyone know why this could be happening or what I can do to fix it? I never did the last software upgrade if that helps. I ran into a lot of problems with the previous upgrade so I decided to just never upgrade again.

When you start a new imessage then you get your address book so you can choose who you send it to. There you get the option to choose a number or the email. Then take the email address. If you don`t have one then you must get there email and put it in your address book. Try it

"Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error keeps popping up and text messages are not being received on Droid Maxx I got less than 2 weeks ago.

I upgraded to a Droid Maxx about 2 weeks ago and all seemed well. Last Friday, I started receiving an "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message randomly--sometimes when I was writing a text, sometimes when I would open other apps, there was no rhyme or reason to when it would occur. Now it also appears that I am not receiving some of my texts. I called Verizon Support who told me that they are experiencing this problem on several devices and that she was going to forward me to someone for help. 20 minutes later, no one had picked up and I had to leave. So I thought I would try here to see if Verizon has come up with a fix for this, if I should get another phone, or if they are working on a software update or something. Help, I really liked this phone until now!

Hello,
I am using the messaging app that was preloaded with the phone, the green face icon. I do not have an "Android Keyboard" app, but I have cleared the cache on the "Messaging" app, several times. I have also gone to the Verizon store where an associate did a soft reboot, telling me that would work. A very short time later, the error message started appearing again--so this did not work either.
The error message comes very sporadically. Sometimes several in a few minutes, other times not for hours.

Is VZ Messages App working?... I'm using the app on my iPhone and iPad amd new received text messages are not coming in. Sent messages is working just fine!

That's odd jway502, let's look into it. Are you not receiving them on the iPhone and tablet, or just on your Messages website? Did you check the native messages app? Do you receive them there? Is it iPhone to iPhone?
