VZW to VZW text messages have call back number in every message after Tango update

First of all I want to say how much I appreciate VZW rolling out the WP updates in a timely manner for once (is this the first time they've ever done so, for any phone?), even with the outdated technology (or just the one device), and I'm sure it'll keep us WP faithfulls happy for a little while longer. However I do have an issue with the latest update because it seems like VZW has been affected in such a way that now I have a "Call back at xxx-xxx-xxxx" after every text message received from a Verizon customer. At first I thought it was my friends and family telling me to call them back, and I did (to some degree of annoyance caused me and others) and now its just a plain nuisance. Some web perusing resulted in a few others having the same issue and only on verizon so far
I know who's texting me at any given time because their names are displayed on top and if I want to call them all I have to do is tap the name (and if no name then the number is so displayed), so displaying "call back at" so and so is just unnecessary and only serves to clutter up an otherwise clean nested message history/interface. So my question is there a way to disable this (which I have yet to find) or does VZW know about this error and plan to fix it, hopefully very soon? Or is this an issue with microsoft?

I found the answer to this problem. I think it depends on what kind of phone you have, but I was able to turn off the CB# in the messages. I have a Samsung Stratosphere. I was able to go into Messaging, then the menu icon, then choose Settings. Under the settings there was a choice called Callback enabled. I was able to to uncheck this choice and now my callback number no longer shows up. Hope this helps everyone!

Not found in Contacts - erorr message when composing SMS text message after Software Update 1.07 Sprint Centro

Hardware: Palm Centro
Wireless: Sprint
PC OS: Windows XP Pro
After installing the "Software Update 1.07 (Windows installer) for Centro for Sprint" (Article ID: 6012 - http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/6012_en.html) starting from http://sprint.com/downloads, I noticed the stock Palm Messaging application that comes with the device did not work as it did prior to the update.
I was able to fix it. Here's what the problem was and what I did to correct it.
"Not found in Contacts" message appeared when composing and addressing a new SMS text message.
In the Contacts app, Options>Preferences, I simply reordered the contacts from "Last Name, First Name" to "Company, Last Name", and saved the change.
I then immediately went back into the same preference, and changed the setting back from "Company, Last Name" to "Last Name, First Name", and saved that change.
Going back to the Messaging application, when composing a new message, now the Contacts database is linked again. Whew!
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Thank you for this information. This should help others out.

Motorola Droid 4 not sending text messages after firmware update?

Ever since the most recent update I've been having major issues with my texts not going through. I have to completely reboot my device. Any ideas other than doing another factory reset?

Hi CyJoi83,
I use my text messaging feature all day and I can understand how frustrating it must be to have issues with it. Are you using the native text messaging application? Are you using a different application (i.e. Handcent, Go SMS, etc.)? My son has a Droid 4 and he also had some post update issues but all issues were resolved by doing a http://vz.to/TZvgLF factory reset. I recommend doing a factory reset and then install your third party applications one at a time and test a few hours before the next install as you may also have an application conflict that is causing the issues. Keep us posted.

I am having trouble receiving text messages after iOS7 update; anyone else know how to resolve this?

Before installing 7 I had no problem receiving text messages; now I am not receiving some people's messages unless I have my data turned on or wifi. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am having similar issues with my iphone 4S that didn't exist before I did the iOS7 update. The senders of the imessages believe their message was sent successfully however I may not receive it for minutes-days.
In my case (and probably yours), its' definitely an iOS7 problem rather than a carrier problem as it was never an issue before the update.
Two temporay ways to resolve the issue that I've found (though not cures) are:
1) double tap the home button and close messages from running in backgorund. restart messages and the screen freezes for a 10-30 seconds and a rush of messages may arrive shortly.
or
2) intermittently do a soft reset on your phone (holding home button and lock button down for 10 seconds until apple logo appear). When the phone restarts I get a rush of imessages that I should have received.
Hopefully Apple will recognise and resolve this issue. I'm feeling the same frustration as you are.

Can't see Korean characters properly in text messages after latest update

Pretty simple, Korean characters used to work on my Q10 (being able to see them), but now after the latest update, they show up as half Chinese characters and completely garbled and unreadable.
This has basically made my Q10 useless to me, and I've moved back to my Galaxy S3. While I love my Q10 and BlackBerry, all of the bugs I've encountered has sort of made me... well, not happy.
Is there any chance this particular issue is going to get fixed?
Thanks.

Just as additional information: moving my SIM card to a different phone and recieving the exact same text works on other phones, so it's definitely the Q10 and latest update (as I never had an issue previously with it).

I am having issues with being able to send videos through text message after the update

I have the motorola droid 4 and after the recent update, I am no longer able to change my video settings on my phone. I need to be able to change the quality to low to be able to send as mms, however the option is no longer there? I have went through settings and nothing gives me the option to record a video and send it through text. error says that the video can not be attached because it is too large. can someone please assist me. The update was 4.1.2 version.

I have the Droid 4, and the 4.1.2 OS; when I open the camera and switch to video, then tap the gear for settings, I can choose HD+ (1080), all the way down to 320x240 resolution (5 different choices for resolution)
I can then go to that video in my gallery, and I have the share option there... how long is the video you are trying to send? What is the total size of the file? Perhaps the receiving party's phone cannot receive the video file?

Delays in receiving imessages and text messages after iOS7 update - iphone 4s

Sending messages is never a problem (unlike a lot of issues I've read) only receiving, and the sender of the message is always notified it was sent successfully - even though i receive the sent message minutes to days after.
Sometimes the messages are only received if:
1) I tap the messages icon
2) the screen freezes for 10-30 seconds
3) I get a rush of new message notifications that say "2d ago" or "35 min ago"
Any one else having the above problem? - Not happy at all with iOS7 performance on my 4S so far.

its giving you a choose on device sign in with apple id or create apple id. sounds like you are selecting create. do this
Hard Reset
Press and hold BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
now choose sign in with apple id not create.
Peace, Clyde

Call back number in text messages

How do I turn off the call back number in text messages? This is an extremely annoying feature that I don't want on my phone, how do I turn it off?

Hey dkmiotek!
I know that including that signature in each message can be a bit of a nuisance so allow me to help you out today!
If you go into your messages, please click on the 3 small at the bottom corner. This will bring up a menu and you can click into settings. In there, you will see signature. Here you can simply turn it off, or put in whatever you'd like instead. I hope this helps!
Thanks!

"Deadlock in safepoint code. Should have called back to the VM"

We experience a VM crash in Safepoint.cpp with the following message:
# An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:
# Internal Error (safepoint.cpp:558), pid=5452, tid=1900
# Error: Deadlock in safepoint code. Should have called back to the VM before blocking.
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (11.0-b16 mixed mode windows-x86)
# If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:
# http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp
This happens in JRE 1.6.0.11 + Microsoft VS2008 C++, on Windows Server 2003. Happens in a busy customer site once in every few days, cannot reporoduce in the lab.
There are two relevant threads:
* Thread A: Created in Java right after system start up. It makes some preparations and then calls C++ code via JNI. In the JNI, Java data types are converted to C++ data types by GetBooleanArrayElements() and GetStringUTFChars(). It remains in C++ forever (until shutdown) and calls back the Java code via JNI every few seconds (that is: the stack contains Java frames, then C++ frames, then from time to time more Java frames and even further C++ frames).
* Thread B: Created upon need, invokes a C++ function via JNI, converts parameters by GetStringUTFChars() and at return by ReleaseStringUTFChars(). The function may take few milliseconds and up to few minutes to complete, eventually it returns to Java and the thread is deleted.
At time of crash we see the following:
* Most of the threads in the system are in state threadblocked - we guess that the VM blocked them for GC.
* Thread A is the active one. As far as we can tell it is in Java (called back from C++), maybe trying to invoke a C++ function via JNI. It locked and released a mutex ("synchronized") just before the crash (we suspect that while performing this lock its thread's Safepoint state may have changed to callback). The thread state is threadin_native_trans.
* Thread B is blocked in the JNI trying to return to Java, maybe while invoking ReleaseStringUTFChars(). It's state is threadblocked.
Another important detail: the crash happens usually certain time (few seconds or even few minutes) after thread B is blocked, and always while thread A is in Java called back from C++. We guess that something caused the Safepoint locking to wait forever while thread B tried to returns to from C++ to Java, and that the activity of thread A make the Safepoint realize that there's a deadlock (so its activity it's not the root cause but a side-effect).
We always see two mutex / monitors with name UNKNOWN at time of error, and 100% "eden" memory utilization.

Thanks for the advice.
Eventually (after few days of digging) we found that in certain case we're using the JNIEnv of one thread in the other thread. This leads to sporadic crashes. We managed to simulate the situation in the lab and ensure that fixing the JNIEnv mixture really makes the problem go away.

How do I retrieve my recent calls and recent text messages after I restored the settings

How do I retrieve my recent call log and recent text messages after I had to restore the settings?

If they were in your most recent back up and you restore your phone to that back up, you'll get them back. If they're not in the back up, there's no way to get them back.

URGENT-Does Erase all Data and restoring from a previously made backup permanently delete text messages after that backup??

Does restoring from a previously made backup permanently delete text messages after that backup?
I made a Icloud back up two days ago. I have text messaged and sent emails since. I haven't backed up again yet and I was wondering that if I erase my phone and back up to that Icloud Back up made two days ago, the texts and emails I have sent SINCE then will be permanently deleted? AKA they can never be found again by anyone?

That is correct you can only get back data that was backed up.

Unable to send or receive text messages after updating iOS to 7.0.2

I am unable to send or receive text messages aftering updating to iOS 7.02. I have an iPhone 4S. I have run all the suggested troubleshooting still can't text. I have been to my carrier, AT&T, there is no issue with my account. AT&T suggested resetting the phone to factory defaults (thereby wiping it clean). I am trying to avoid that as I had issues with transferring data & contacts before. Any one have a work around?

Try this iMessage workaround
Look for a fix by Apple by the end of the week.....
