Unable to text a contact on Droid Turbo

I just made the switch from iPhone to Droid and so far not a good experience. I'm trying to compose a new text message and I keep receiving this error...
Invalid Recipient...will not be added to the recipient list
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I deleted contact then added to contacts and works fine now. I think one of the numbers got added as a fax number when transferred from the dark side. So just make sure they are described correctly, mobile, work, home,etc...

  • Is any one else frustrated by the texting capabilities of the droid turbo?

    Is there going to be an update for this system? Their is no way to send a group text other than manually typing out each recipient. Also when looking through the contacts while in the texting mode, you are unable to see all of the contacts other than the one that start with the first letter you type...

    Are you using the stock texting app?  Verizon Messages?  A third party app like HandCent?  Each of those has different features.
    I use Verizon Messages, I can group text to groups I have created in my contacts, and even it gives me the option of selecting specific group members at the time I create the initial message.  It also shows all contacts that contain the letters you are typing for the name.  For instance, if I type AL, it shows Alice, Al, BAL, etc, until I type another letter that narrows the list further. Once I see the name I want, tap it and it adds that contact to the message.
    I like that it also shows the 6 most recent text contacts with their pic/avatar ... no typing for those, just tap and start texting.
    The phone has less to do with the texting capabilities than the app; if the stock texting app doesn't have the features you want/need, find one that does.

  • Unable to back up contacts from Droid MAXX to cloud

    I am complete lost here. Ever since I installed Verizon Cloud all of my online storage for contacts has disappeared. I visit the coud site and it says there are no contacts there. I originally had Backup Assistant PLUS installed and it worked fine. This new system sucks. According to Verizon I should turn off Backup Assistant Plus, but there is no setting to do that. At least one I can find. I cannot even find the app to delete it. This sucks. Maybe time to invest in an I-phone, I can never get a Verizon support specialist to assist me either.

    Using Google sync is very easy to do. On most Android devices, your contacts are automatically synced when you first set up your phone and sign into your Google Account.
    To start off, be sure to Sign in to your Account in settings.
    Turn on the Account and syncing service in G mail
    Check to be sure you’ve enabled the ‘Sync Contacts’ option.
    Press ‘Sync now’ button and wait until all the phone contacts are successfully synchronized with your gmail account.
    Now open Gmail in your computer’s web browser and click the Gmail text link that is listed on the upper left side of the Gmail profile.
    Select Contacts and then you will see a page where the contacts from your Smartphone have been stored.
    . One other tip is to export your contacts to an SD card and them importing them to your G mail account.

  • HT3529 Unable to text one contact

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 3
    I can text all my contacts apart from my partner who has a Samsung Galaxy mini
    Texts stopped from me to him in December.My number is not blocked on his phone and if i put my simm in another phone I can text him.
    I receive his texts ok
    I have turned off my imessaging
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Glad to help.
    What happens when you send? Does it fail?
    Do you get an error?
    There are a couple things we can try.
    First, quit all apps (Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up for eack open app) and then Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
    You can also try deleting any old conversations with him
    Try deleting him from your contacts and manually re-add him

  • Droid Turbo missing calls, delivering texts late, not capturing call history, not updating e-mails

    My wife got the Droid Turbo Ballistic Nylon just before Christmas as a replacement for her iPhone. She has been complaining that she is not getting calls, e-mails, text messages, voice mail messages. Last night, my son called her twice from California and there was no answer. Checking her phone there is no voice mail from him and her call history shows no attempts. I re-booted the phone and she suddenly got a flood of e-mails, call history, texts messages. She uses this for business and this is negatively impacting her buisness.
    This morning I did a test. I forwarded an e-mail from her phone to me and then I replied to that e-mail, which is set up as IMAP on all devices. I could see my reply on her PC but nothing her phone minutes later. This test is being done in my home with all devices on the same Wi-Fi network. I re-booted the phone into Safe Mode and the e-mail came through. I don't know if it was just the additional length of time or putting it into Safe Mode. Based on the number of issues with multiple applications (she also says she is losing contact information) I am beginning to think that this is a hardware or OS problem. Anybody have any ideas?

    I know that IMAP is sometimes set to auto-sync only every 15 min or more, according to default or user set amount of time.  When you rebooted, the phone auto-synced with the email server.  As far as missed calls and those not showing in logs, I'm not sure.  I can say this though, I was missing calls and voicemails and came to find out that the Advanced Calling HD Voice VoLTE updates had negatively impacted my phone's service.  I have since disabled and service is better.  Perhaps the Turbo also has HD calling enabled and is experiencing similar issues because of that.

  • How can I add multiple contacts to a text message on a droid bionic

    How can I add multiple contacts to a text message on a droid bionic?

    DH
    I was thinking that if he wanted to create multiple keyframes he might be creating a repeated effect rather than manipulating values that are shot specific - like creating an oscillation or some repeated step effect.  If he was creating keyframes specific to his content he'd probably not look for a way to do it "quickly" since each keyframe would require manipulation of specific values. 
    So my thought was to generate the series of keyframes on a dummy clip created for this specific purpose, copy the clip, paste attributes (maybe turn off "Scale Attribute Times") and add bunches of keyframes at once. 
    Still, you're right, it's tough to divine the intent of someone very new to FCP.  His question could be based on a misunderstanding about the use of keyframes.

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • I have 2 people in my contacts that I'm unable to text. The SEND button does not respond

    I Have 2 contacts that I'm unable to text to. The SEND button does not respond. Other contacts will send message.

    Hi Gaylene1949,
    So the issue is isolated to two contacts only.
    There are a couple sections in this article for troubleshooting contact specific issues.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    and
    If you still can't send or receive SMS, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact who's trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Make sure that you're using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need to use the contact's international code.
    If you're using a "Pay as you go" SMS plan, make sure it has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if you're unsure of your SMS plan or the available balance.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact from the Contacts app. Send a new message to the contact.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Droid Turbo Group Texting Problems??

    Just switched my daughter over from an iPhone to the Droid Turbo.  She is using the messaging app on the home screen.  She is no longer able to receive group messages, be added to groups from the other end, or send to groups in her contact list. Thoughts?  Fix? Alternative app suggestions?  Would love to fix this before she heads back to school in the next couple of days.  Thanks in advance for your help!

    The 3 button overflow.  Everything working fine for me even with this type of reception in NC. 
    Anyone who knows I am from Hawaii...  Yes I am doing field work and Verizon coverage at this connectivity is still better than the other major carriers.

  • Droid Turbo Syncing People aka Contacts

    So I just got the Droid Turbo the other day and I'm trying to make sure that all of my contacts are in one place. Like most of us I have several different accounts to pull from like Gmail Yahoo Mail Facebook and Twitter.I chose all of these accounts and they all seem to be appearing under my People app but I cannot seem to find a place where I can change the settings of how I view my contacts. By default it is showing a box with the first letter on the left. I can go in and change each person's picture but on my old phone there was a way to pull all facebook profile pictures into my contacts. I don't see that here. Am I missing something?
    I also noticed that when I look at the last time my facebook synced up there is no date listed. I click on the Sync Now button but nothing seems to happen. Is there a problem with Facebook and the Droid Turbo?

        Hi RobnDawn,
    Congrats on your new Droid Turbo! We want you to have the best experience. Go to contacts/people, hit the menu key, and see what options are available? Do you see an option for "display"?
    Thanks,

  • Droid Turbo, no bluetooth texts received!

    My current Droid Turbo is paired with my Tacoma truck and i only receive voice calls so no texts.  Will Lollipop fix that?

    If I get a text while connected via Bluetooth, the text will appear on my phone but I will not get an audible alert while in my truck.  I have not tried other devices in my truck.  I even took it to Toyota and they said it had something to do with the phone software?  That’s why I am hoping Lollipop will fix this issue.  Do you know?
    Thanks,
    Gary

  • 3 Droid Turbos in 4 Days, A true story of potential Verizon Employee Fraud and Insulting Service

    If you want to hear a worst case scenario with verizon employees and new hardware defects, here you go. Kudos if you read the whole thing, I don't expect most people to...unless you're one of those people with a faulty battery/camera flash/screen/speaker. Then, enjoy and beware. What follows is a true story. Thursday 10/30/2014 12pm – Purchase Droid Turbo #1
    – Went to Verizon Store and worked with sales associate John to purchase my new droid turbo. I traded in my OG droid razr maxx for $100 rebate, and then John tried to “sell” me a wireless charger for the device by saying he could waive my upgrade fee to apply towards the product. Having already read about the promotion for waived upgrade fees, and knowing it is not only applicable towards products in store (as John was insinuating) I declined, feeling decidedly like John was trying to take advantage of me and the lack of knowledge I may have about current Verizon promotions. Friday 10/31/2014 –Full Day with Droid Turbo #1
    Used Turbo Unit 1 for 24 hrs, after charging to full. My battery drained unusually fast, so that I was getting less than 20 hours on the battery. I took screenshots of my battery reports during two full discharges to demonstrate to reps that the battery was in fact underperforming, knowing that evidence would be useful because it is hard to just look at a phone and tell it has a battery issues. Saturday 11/1/2014 – Return Turbo #1 for Turbo #2
    11am- Returned to Verizon store. I worked with sales associate “Ross” and brought my concerns to his attention. He also frequently made furtive trips to have whispered discussions with Andre, who I assume is his manager, throughout our conversation about my wanting a replacement unit. They did a “test” on my phone in which they just opened up a call and let it sit for 15 minutes, then said “oh it looks like it drained normally.” As if they know, on a phone that is literally 2 days old. I could tell they were (removed)me, they had no interest in looking at the battery data I had saved on the phone demonstrating the VERY fast discharge, and when I expressed my displeasure, Ross again went and had another whispered conversation with Andre, and he came back and said “we want to help you out….” He proceeded to tell me that they would replace the unit for me. He then went into the back and came out with a box in one hand and another Droid Turbo unit in his other hand—I never saw him take it out of the box. He switched my sim card into the unit he brought from the back, and said I had to keep my current box/etc and did not give me the matching box with the unit. Here is the first time I have a unit that doesn’t match my box/IMEI number information. This is despite me requesting the box to keep the serial numbers consistent. Saturday 11/1/2014 – Later that Day with Turbo #2
    When I get Droid Turbo #2 home and start using it that evening in low light conditions, I see that there is a noticeable change in color from the top left to the bottom right of the screen. It was evident in multiple apps, and although subtle, is very apparent when you utilize a graphic designed to test color and brightness consistency on a display. (I used Display Test app, “viewing angle graphic” which demonstrated clearly the screen was not uniform.) I make plans to go in on Sunday and have it exchanged for a unit with consistent color reproduction. 
    Sunday 11/2/2014 – 11am. – Returning Turbo #2 for Turbo #3
    I return to Verizon for the 3rd time in 4 days. At this point, I am feeling decidedly emotionally raw from my previous experiences in which I felt that employees had ZERO interest in what I had to say or show them. I explain that I’m here to have my device replaced because the screen color is not uniform. They immediately get General manager Steven S. to deal with me, and after taking a cursory glance at my unit underneath glaring overhead can lights at the front desk (where you can hardly see the screen anyways) tells me “He doesn’t see a problem.” I am detecting barely contained hostility at this point—I feel that the employees have labeled me as a “problem” to be dealt with. Another employee, Matthew, hovers nearby the entire time I’m dealing with Steven, making me feel even more ganged up on and adding non-helpful comments from time to time. At this point they have made no effort to get any information from me. I needed to tell them that the flaw is visible in dim light, when the screen brightness is turned down lower, and how you can see it in certain apps, etc, but they took a defensive posture from the beginning as though they had already decided I was wrong. After nearly 90 minutes standing at the counter arguing in front of MANY CUSTOMERS IN THE STORE, that there was a flaw that CAN BE PERCEIVED, I plead for them to just LOOK more closely at what I’m trying to show them. I am at my wit’s end at this point, ready to cancel my contract.  Steven S. finally goes to get a magnifying instrument resembling a jeweler’s loupe, and looks at the test graphic that clearly shows the non-uniform screen through it. HE AGREES THAT HE CAN SEE THAT THERE IS A NON-UNIFORMITY IN THE COLOR REPRODUCTION ON THE SCREEN!!! This is an important point, because later on I am told that “there was no defect found on the units I returned” by Solutions manager Jeff. Steve S. agrees to replace the unit as defective and tells me Matthew will get my replacement. Matthew then goes into the back and does not emerge for nearly ten minutes. Just to get my unit from the shelf? When he comes out of the back, again, he is holding another turbo unit in one hand, and the box it may or may not have come out of in the other. Like Ross did for my last replacement, Matthew swaps my sim card into the other unit, but does not give me the new box despite my asking to exchange, again, to keep serial numbers consistent. At this point they could have given me back the unit I had returned the day before and I would not be any wiser. I’m feeling more and more uncomfortable about the lack of transparency in this process, and the way employees at this store are handling my complaints and concerns in general.  I leave the store, vowing never to return and completely emotionally traumatized and exhausted from the process. When I get home that evening……and start to use my Droid Turbo #3….the flash starts to malfunction. At first it just misses timing on a photo every third or so, making photos oddly red and dark. Then, it’s giving an odd “half flash” instead of a fully bright flash occasionally. Solutions Manager Jeff G, sent me text message following up on my customer experience. I responded:
    (Mon, 11:31 AM) “the camera flash has been wonky on two occasions, like it isn’t timed right with the shutter..I’ll wait and see how it works out.” He does not respond. Sunday 11/3 and Monday 11/4 – Turbo #3 Flash Not working at all, periodically. As I’m testing the camera over Sunday night and Monday morning, the flash stops working completely on three different occasions. Even when set to “always on” the flash has just stopped turning on. It gives a weak “half flash” the first time you try after it’s been sitting a while, then just never turns on again. This happens on and off as I test the camera in various lighting situations. Clearly a malfunction, by any definition. Again, I text Solutions manager Jeff G:
    (Mon 6:49pm) “Hahah crud. My flash no longer works at all. Apparently it wasn’t going to be ok.”
    Jeff G responds:
    (Mon 7:06pm) “At this point, any manufacture defects needs to go through Motorola directly. We have exchanged 2 devices already for this line we will not be able to exchange out a 3rd device for the same model. If you are still unhappy with this device we can exchange it for a different model phone and we will waive the $35 restocking fee, however, if you feel this is just a manufacture defect you can reach out to Motorola at 800.734.5870 or motorola . com So according to the Solutions manager , there is a 3 unit limit per customer on models of the same device, despite experiencing manufacturers defects that employees admitted were in fact manufacturer defects? I respond:
    (Mon 7:06pm) “ I didn’t realize there was a limit on manufacturer defects! What would you recommend? Is a non working flash on a phone that has taken less than 50 pictures a manufacturer defect or a feature of the droid turbo? Because I’d love to have your answer on record.” Jeff G responds:
    (Mon 7:13pm) “After reviewing the devices exchanged the manufacture defects that were reported are not currently listed as defects by Motorola as a result the devices exchanged were done as a courtesy as a Verizon customer. Future defects should be reported to Motorola. Again if you are unhappy with this phone we are willing to make a final exception to waive the restocking fee to exchange the device for a different model.” So, at this point I am insulted and offended. First of all, the devices I returned were not exchanged as a “courtesy”—I had demonstrated and provided evidence, BEYOND WHAT SHOULD EVER HAVE BEEN NECESSARY OF A CUSTOMER YOU WANT TO BE COURTIOUS TO, that each of the devices I exchanged were not performing as advertised. Secondly, he is flat our refusing to honor Motorola’s manufacturer’s warranty, despite the fact that I have had the unit for less than 24 hours and it is in PRISTINE condition.
    Can a Verizon employee (Jeff) arbitrarily and retroactively change the terms of your exchange of a defective device? Verizon is contractually obligated to provide you with a device that functions as described, but instead Jeff is saying “basically, we took care of you because you whined about it hard enough.” This is despite the verbal attestation of multiple employees at the location that the defects were indeed noted at my time of exchange. Tuesdsay, 11/4/2014 – I call Motorola. (Case # XXX-XXXXX) I take Jeff’s advice and call Motorola- I still want a functioning Droid Turbo. Talk to Tech support about flash issue, they agree to send a replacement unit no problem. They ask me for the IMEI number. This is where the problems created by the employees at the Verizon Store Maple Village come to the surface.
    I give Motorola my IMEI on the box (XXXXXXXXXXXXX) —but it doesn’t match my device info in their computers. (Remember how they would not give me the matching boxes with my exchanged devices?)
    So we investigate further. Motorola tech has me dial a number that gives me Droid Turbo #3’s internal number. (IMEI: XXXXXXXXXXXXX) I get put on hold…and apparently escalated to Tier 2 tech support because the number I gave them isn’t matching the numbers they should have in their system. Fraud alarm bells have gone off, something about what he saw in the info attached to the IMEE# of my device.
    Motorola tells me that the Verizon employees have done something wrong, and perhaps even illegal, in processing my exchanges. He says that I need to return to the store and request a replacement unit, with the matching box, serial numbers, parts, etc. This effects my warranty, and apparently could be related to illegal practices behind the scenes at this particular Verizon store? He’s vague about the details, but says they need to escalate it. He gives me a case number and says I’ll be contacted within 48 hours during the investigation. In Summary:
    I don’t know what to say at this point. I demand as many replacement Droid Turbo models as is necessary until I receive a unit that functions as designed and advertised, without defect or flaw, and not as a “courtesy as a Verizon customer,” but as a “fulfilment of the contractual obligation Verizon has to its customers.” This does not seem to be an unreasonable request, given that I am paying for a product and service. 
    Update at time of publishing: My camera flash has not malfunctioned in 24 hrs, I don't know if it was just working out the kinks, was software related, or new battery, who knows. I don't. What I do know is I have 0% expectation that I will get a replacement unit, so I'm probably just dropping the turbo instead of risking having an unwarranty-able device with no Verizon support and a potential faulty flash.

    Me? I wouldn't want a device with that many problems and would take the offer to change with a waived restock fee. Who wants to deal with that?
    My phone advertises a 17 days standby time but I have never gotten that. When I use it for things like Facebook, texting, call, web browsing or anything else it drains the battery. Happens to all mobile devices.
    Was this purchase made at a corporate store? They should have scanned the new ESN onto your account and not just switch the SIM. They would only give you the new box if you had the old box with you.
    In either case, if they're still willing to waive the restocking fee, I would switch devices to a different model. It is not up to VZW to make sure that your device is not defective. That is up to the manufacturer of the device.
