Text Messaging Question

After the new download to my Motorola RAZR I noticed under my text messaging that when I responded to a text by another party that my picture didn't show up while texting. When I would touch the blank icon where my picture/face should be a small black tag would appear stating "The contact doesn't exist." Any help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance for your time and kind concern! Sincerely yours, One Happy Verizon Customer/Motorola RAZR user (BV1960)

If you look in the "People" app, there should be listed a "Me" at the top, with your info and picture there. Is that not there?

Block Text Messages (QUESTION)

I'm a 9800 user and I was wondering if I could receive the messages that were sent to me in the time I blocked everybody after disabling the block?
Thank you so much in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you blocked someone and they sent you an SMS, it would be returned to them as undeliverable. That would stop that SMS in its tracks. In order for you to see it, it would have to be resent by the sender.
I hope that helps you.

HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. MY question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this aren't working

HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
Help!

That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

Pictures in older text messages now have question marks

Seems after upgrading to 8.11, older text messages with pictures have had the pictures replaced by question marks. I have googled and tried resetting network settings and stuff like that to no avail. Current and new messages seem to be fine, seems to affect messages that were received while on 7.x I just updated to 8.12 and the issue still persists.
Any ideas?
Thanks

N95 8GB Newbie question re Text Messaging

Hello Folks,
I live in the USA an have AT&T as a provider. I am just learning my around the N95 8GB. When I try to send a text message I get a screen with two window. One is label "Text message Center" and the other has "message center number" in it. Does anyone have any idea what to put in these windows? I tied calling the local AT&T store and they had no idea.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
John

Thanks for your first reply Sage.
I tried the remove the battery and SIM card suggestion but to no avail.
As mentioned in my first message, the guy at my local AT&T store seemed to have no idea what I was asking for. He said that all text messaging was "mobile to mobile."
Perhaps I need another source at AT&T or perhaps I am going down the wrong track.
If anyone else has a suggestion, please let me know. I am sure I am not the only one in the USA with AT&T who has faced this questions.
Thanks again folks.
John

All of the photos in my text messages have disappeared and been replaced with a question mark image. Where did they go?

I updated my ios two or three weeks ago, but suddenly beginning this morning all of the photos in my text messages have disappeared. They have been replaced with question mark placeholders. I can't access any videos/photos that either I have sent or others have sent to me. I did nothing to instigate this change (no software updates, etc.) and have already tried resetting my phone multiple times.
Thank you!!

I have the same condition on my iPhone only. I also have an iPad, a Macbook Air and an iMac that share the same iCloud account. Messages with photos seem to work fine on all devices except my iPhone. All of a sudden all the photos in my iPhone message streams have disappeared and been replace by question mark placeholders. I rebooted all devices, shut down messages, and rebooted, restarted, with no luck. Very bizarre and extremely frustrating. Any suggestions?

Question About Text Message With LG Env3 phone

I'm getting an arrow and it's sending a text from one Verizon phone to another. What does this mean?
<Branched to a new discussion for more exposure.>
Message was edited by: Verizon Moderator

Here's my understanding and experience with two Verizon Env3's and other LG phones - the green check means the message was successfully sent to another Verizon (mobile) phone number. The green arrow means the message was successfully sent, but the number is outside the Verizon network. If sending to an iPhone or Android, even if the phone is Verizon, the recipient may be using a texting app rather than regular text messaging. In that case you'd get the green arrow instead of the green check mark.

Text Message Format Question

When I tap the top of the screen on a text message to scroll to the top where it gives you 3 options,it does not have 'call' on the top left button, but 'email'. Any idea how to change it back?

Sounds like an encoding problem. But the best place to search/ask about MS stuff is probably the forums they run for their products:

Question on text message notifications with imessage open vs closed with iOS7

Before the upgrade to iOS7.1 when I received a text message my phone would vibrate both when the application was closed to nofify me of the message and when the application is open (I am looking at the text message) and then when another text would come through with the application still open the phone would vibrate again. Now that I have upgraded to iOS7.1 when the application for text messages is open and someone continues to text me while I am reading the other texts the phone barely (hardly able to feel it at all) vibrates. The problem is that if I leave the application open and am not looking at the phone then I don't realize texts are coming through. Anyway to fix this? I have power cycled the phone, checked all settings (that I can find) and turned off notifications and then back on again and still nothing.
Ideas?
Didn't have this issue before the upgrade.. Phone would vibrate the same with application open or closed. Would like that again.

I have the same thing happening. Any help would be appreciated!

My sister and myself are getting each others text messages. Help! (Hard Question)

This whole problem started when I first got my Iphone 5 around christmas time of last year. And i did the normal activation of my new Iphone and syncing my old iphone 4 with this new phone. I synced everything and it was all good, but i started to get these random text from people in my message log. I soon found out that i was recieving every text that was sent to my sister. And if i replied to someone who was texting my sister it would show up like she texted them, not me on a seperate number. Also when i text my sister she would get the text but immidiatly after i sent her it, i would also get a text from myself saying what i sent her. I will literally get a text message from my own number to myself, (Weird ****). So its like my sisters text messaging is fused with mine. Its only messages though, no images or anything else. In the beginging i didnt care about this becasue she wasnt recieving my text i was only getting hers. But now just today she tells me she is getting my text too. And thats a problem! This problem lasted all the way up to about 2 months ago and then i stopped getting her messages. But i gave one of my friends my old iphone 4 and once they activated it for there own use it started to happen again. They use a seperate plan then i do and there number on the phone is different. Before i gave them the phone i wiped everything off of it. i took off the contacts, messages, everything. They use a different apple account and icloud account now on the phone. So idk why it started up again i need help. Here is some background. My whole family shares the same apple account with everything. We have seperate phones, numbers and data for the most part. But with dealing with Icloud and itunes anything like that, we use the same account. My sister uses a Iphone 4s btw. With my old Iphone 4 i had no probelms with this, everything was normal. But once i switched to the new iphone 5 this problem has occured. Idk what this is about, i havent heard anyone else with this problem, but i need help! btw my other family members on their phones do not have this problem. So i think it has to do something with the icloud but im not sure! This is a serious problem and i need help! Goodluck!

Get your Apple ID sort out.
Only use the same Apple ID in Settings > iTunes & App Stores to share purchases, no where else.
Here some tips, it was written for IOS 5 but it's still valid for iOS 6.

I used to have a IPhone3 about three years ago, unfortunately i do not have it anymore. My question is is there a way to obtain deleted text messages from my phone number from a short period of time before i got rid of my phone?

About three years ago in 1012 I had an iphone3 sent and deleted text messages of course and as of now those text messages are needed for an upcoming court case i will be involved with. So is there any way to retrieve those text messages from three years ago. I am just in need of the text messages from February 2012 on. So its about 6 to 10 months of texts. what do I have to do to get them back if possible???

As the others noted, if you don't have any older iTunes backups then the deleted messages would not be recoverable. The free trial of Decipher TextMessage will show you if there are any text messages in your older backups that can be recovered.

IPhone has just randomly erased all of my texts messages,can I get them back?Ask your question.

iPhone had just randomly erased all of my texts,can I get these back?

You are correct, they do keep a record of texts sent and received and subscribers can access this information themselves using their online account.
They do do keep the content of text messages at all just like they do not keep copies of phone conversations. If the text message is deleted from the sending and receiving instrument it is gone. Getting a court order for the content of text messages from a provider would be a worthless endeavor as it is well known that information is not available.
If a text message has not been successfully delivered the system will continue to try to send it by accessing the senders device and resending the message; you are right they are not from cosmic radiation or echoes from the moon, they are from the device that sent the message.

Very important question need immediate answer please very serious, is there any way possible i can get recent text messages from the last 2 days and print them off after they have been deleted from my phone?

is there anyway i can retrieve recent text messages from the last 2 days and have them printed off after they have been deleted from my phone? this is seriously important i need this for an attourney!

HT3529 Question regarding sending a text message to an email address

I have an Iphone #G. I am using Tmobile service on it. If I send a message (in my text messages, not email account) to an email address, it looks like a text message when I send it but their reply, looks like an email to me ([email protected]), and it always includes my original message with their reply.
How can I make my messages that come to my email ([email protected]) resemble a text message like they do when I send the message to an email account. Is this a setting that can be adjusted?
Thanks!

Can't send a text message to their phone number. They don't have texting - they only do emails. So I have to send my message to their email address.
