Verizon messages app doesn't work over wifi....

Hello, all,
Until recently, I used the verizon messages app to send/receive texts over wifi on my gs3 when I had no cellular/data reception. Now it will only send/rec when there's cell reception.
But...the app does still work over wifi onmy galaxy tab 2 7.0.
Why could this be? Did a recent app update break txt over wifi for the gs3?
Thanks!
Abe

This does NOT work on the Galaxy S3.
Airplane mode ON, Wifi ON, No network mode is available in Airplane mode. So...only wifi is available. When I try to send a text with only wifi available I get "Network not available. The message will be sent when the network is available"
BUT...On my Galaxy Tab 2 (non-verizon), This DOES work. On the tab 2 with only wifi available, I CAN send text messages using Verizon Messages.
So....again...
On Galaxy Tab 2 with only WiFi available...texting with Verizon messages DOES work.
On Galaxy S3 with only WiFi available...texting with Verizon messages DOES NOT work.
Please fix Verizon Messages to work over WiFi using Galaxy S3.
Thanks,
Abe

Verizon Messages App doesn't display incoming texts

The VERIZON MESSAGES APP doesn't display all incoming messages.
This is true for the WEB APP i use on my windows 7 PC
Iv'e tried multiple browsers and this does not help
It is also a problem with both my android tablets running the google play app from verizon
I'm not sure but, it appears that maybe this is related to ATT users.

Are you sure?
According to Apple Facetime will only work over WiFi. IOS 6 will bring feature that you can make Facetime call over 3g-4g

Facebook app links not working over wifi

This might be hard to explain let alone comprehend so bear with me.
As of the last 24 hours or so I am having trouble using Facebook linked apps while on Wifi. To be specifc I was using the app called "Lost Friends?". I have used this app for months, no issues. All of a sudden last night it would not connect to my Facebook account. I went on to try another app called "Lost A Friend", same issue, no connection to Facebook via wifi. After I left my house (back to 3G) I tried it and it worked perfectly, but again, once home it was doing the same thing. While inside my house I turned off Wifi and it worked again. It sounds to me like there is something within wifi, Facebook or both. If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated.
To skip a step or two, I went as far as factory resetting my phone, starting as a new iphone and still have the same issue.

I'm using a Mac have a Airport express base station. Everything was fine and I could pull up Facebook on my Mac and Androids over my WiFi. Apple pushed a firmware upgrade and the IOS upgrade. Now, voila, Facebook not working on my Mac or on other devices if logged on to my WiFi. If I disconnect WiFi and am on 4G it works fine. The same issues as others have described.
After trying all the fixes listed and a few not listed like clearing my cookies, history, tmp files and cache, I tried a release/renew. Nope. So I logged out of Facebook, uninstalled the apps, shut down computer, phone and tablet. I finally reset my routers by unplugging my comcast router and my basestation, let them all resync, thinking this might have been an issue with a router table (?). At any rate this would reset all the IPs. (I reinstalled the apps) Worked the first time, about 2 hours later it quit working. Tried the same trick but it didn't work again.
I've read a number of blogs and other posts on 'fix it' type sites researching the issue. It sounds like many of the streaming media sources that require lots of resources and will cost more to operate by using the data plans are no longer working on WiFi.
Interesting.

Apps doesn't work on wifi

Lexmark x4650 doesn't work over wifi

I recently bought a Lexmark x4650 wireless printer. I followed the install instructions that it came with it then updated the software, but my Mac just doesn't recognize it wirelessly, but it prints fine when connected via USB. My Linux laptop can print over the wifi no problem, so it's not the printer.

I would expect that with the Linux laptop you would have needed to create a TCP/IP network queue rather than relying on some form of network discovery. I suggest that you could use the same technique on the Mac.
When adding the printer, select the IP icon and then select LPD or HP Jetdirect for the protocol. You can then enter IP address of the printer and the respective driver in the Print Using menu.
If this new queue fails to print, open Network Utility and use the Ping function to check that the Mac can get a response from the Lexmark.

Image Capture doesn't work over WiFi

I've got an HP Printer connected via USB to an AirPort Express. I can print to it without any problems. However, if I open the Image Capture app native to OS X it doesn't show the printer, so I can't scan documents. Is there any way to get Image Capture (or any other app which from which I can scan) to recognize the printer when it's connected via the AirPort Express?
Thanks

Is there any way to get Image Capture (or any other app which from which I can scan) to recognize the printer when it's connected via the AirPort Express?
Sorry, but no. Printers connected to the AirPort's USB port are supported only for printing. Advanced printer functions like copying, faxing, or scanning (as in this case) are not supported.

IPhone has internet over WiFi, however email doesn't work over wifi

Hi. I have wifi set up for work and home and I can get internet just fine, however when phone service is bad I can't send emails even if the wifi is full bars. At home my service is 0-2 bars and work I have nothing. Any suggestions?

Check your Outgoing Mail Server settings. If only have your cell phone carrier's mail server (i.e. AT&T SMTP Server) selected it may only work when using cellular data. Try selecting another outgoing mail server if you have another list.

Can't get the updated Verizon Messages app to work on wifi as the update claims it will

I received the update to the Verizon Messages app yesterday and when I opened it, it said the smartphone will now send and receive text messages over wifi when the cellular network is not available. I have been unable to make this work and I contacted Verizon and the tech said that obviously it will not work on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but it said it will work on my device when I look at the app store. Any ideas?

Yesterday morning, the icon appeared telling me that Message+ was connected to WIFI, however, all day today, I would have it show that I had messages, I would look on my pulldown and it would show that I had messages, but when I went to the app, the messages had disappeared. The same thing has been happening with my email. The native email app would not pull down my mail folders, so I had to load a 3rd party app the does pull them down, but then it loses emails. This is the 2nd Note 3 I have had. My original started giving me a black screen when I tried to answer a call and I would have to reboot the phone and call them back. Now this replacement loses email and messages. In my business, these are very important. Not sure what I am going to do, not happy with my choice of phones at this point. Thank you for offering to look into the problems for me, I appreciate it.

Messages+ not working over WiFi

One of the main reasons I switched back to Verizon and off of the iPhone is because my dad told me that if I use the Verizon Messages app (also known as Messages+) I can text him over WiFi. This was really attractive to me because I live in an area where I generally have NO service. (occasionally one bar now that I switched to Verizon. Thank the lord). This is not the case. My messages do not send over WiFi. If I don't have one bar of service, nothing gets in or out. Why? Why? Why? The information about Messages+ says it operates using WiFi. Is there any extra step I need to do? I am so frustrated that I can no longer text my husband throughout the day. I'm forced to use Facebook Messenger which is incredibly annoying. At least when I had my iPhone (which I hated) I could use iMessages to text iPhone users.

IHateMyTreo I certainly want to check into this for you. What kind of device are you using? Are you getting an error message when you try to send a text out? Message has a lot of nice options. You are also able to read and reply to texts over wifi on your computer or tablet too! Just log into your My Verizon and click on Messages. You will be able to read and reply to your texts from there as well as on your phone. I have Message myself and texting over wifi should not be a problem though Picture and MMS messages may need to be able to send over our network instead.

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

My iPhone has stopped working over wifi. It was working till late night yesterday and in monring it stopped. I thought that it may be problem in my internet. But noticed that it doesn't work with office wifi as well. Have done some of the reset option.

Blackberry Apps like Facebook and Whatsapp don't work over wifi, what should I do?

My BB AT&T 9810 does not works over with wi-fi only browser or youtube, I don't use Services Plans, but the bb is supposed to work even only with wifi, apps only work shortly after a restart and longer if I do a Battery pull.

If I recall correctly, open your Browser > Options > and set the browser to a hotspot browser for it work over WIFi only.
