When talking through normal text(not imessage), my texts send fine however,I don't receive all texts.

When sending a text via normal texting ( I turn my mobile data off whilst out and not on WiFi so I am not using IMessage ) I can send the message without a problem. However when the text reaches the person ive sent it to and they reply,I don't always receive the text they have replied with. I have tried doing simple things like turning the mobile data on and off again and nothing has changed,still not receiving all the texts I get sent. Any idea why this could be happening?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
If the issues continue, you may need to consider restoring as new.

SMS texts, not Imessages, on multiple phones with the same Apple ID

Is it possible that outgoing and incoming SMS texts, not imessages, could be seen on two seperate Iphones that share the same Apple ID? I'm wondering because I have been SMS texting a friend about a gift for my husband and I'm wondering if he was able to read them.
Thanks!

Outgoing or Incoming texts? I was texting with a person with an iphone that is one the same network, if that matters. But they were all green, so i know they were SMS.

You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone. That's relatively easy. Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one. For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.

TS2755 My sister and I have/had an iPhone this week she upgraded and went to an android. Now she cannot receive my text. I have put her phone number as a mobile device. Deleted previous iMessages and started a new thread she still cannot receive my text.

the fastest way is to call applecare and they can remove her number from iMessage/facetime.

Droid X2 not receiving all texts/ calls

I, along with my family have been a customer of Verizon for over 13 years now. In the past 4-5 months my Droid X2 has not been receiving all text messages and calls. There is no pattern that I have been able to track. I text people from across the nation so where I send from and/or to does not make a difference. This phone is a refurb because I used my insurance to replace the original to hopefully fi this same exact issue. I've done extensive research on how to fi this problem but have not come up with anything. The restarts, wipe cache, delete certain apps does not work. I do not want to be forced to become a customer of another company but I will do so if the issue can not be alleviated.

I understand how frustrating and inconvenient missing your calls and text messages can be and I'm here to help.
I also have the HTC Thunderbolt and have not had this problem. I've thoroughly researched this and did not find it has been reported as a known issue by other users.
You mentioned you updated your phone two weeks ago. Was it the Gingerbread SW update? If not, click here for instructions on how to update the SW.
If you already have Gingerbread I recommend performing a hard reset.
If you are still experiencing missed calls or text messages after the hard reset, please post back so I can further assist you.

IPad doesn't receive all text messages

An iPad can receive iMessages only, not text messages as in SMS/MMS.

When I select a photo on my iPhone and send it via email, the receipient receives it sideways. Any way to fix that?

When I select a photo on my iPhone and send it via email, the receipient receives it sideways. Any way to fix that?

When you took this photograph your phone was being held in that way. Sideways, try taking the photo straight on. Or it is the Picture file itself, open up the application you edit photos with and rotate it to be proper orientation. I recently had the same problem but you either have to retake or edit it at this point.

How to send text NOT iMessage to iPhone users

I have an iPhone on iOs 8.1.2. I do not have data, so whenever I try to send a normal text message, the other person receives my text message and sends a text back, but I do not receive it until I have wifi. How can I text and receive text messages without this iMessage feature between iPhones?

Sending messages solely over text requires you to completely disable your Wi-Fi and cellular data connection, or change a few settings within the Settings app.
There are two ways:
Disable iMessage to Send as SMS:
Tap the Settings app>select the "Message" option>Set the "iMessage" toggle switch to the "Off" position>Tap the Messages app and send your text message
Or: Disable Wi-Fi and Cellular Data to Send as SMS
Tap the Settings app and select the "Wi-Fi" option>Set the "Wi-Fi" toggle switch to the "Off" position>return to the Settings page>Choose the "General" option>Select "Cellular" >Set the Cellular data toggle switch to the "Off" position>Send your text message as normal.
Hope it is helpful.

Some texts not being able to send with iPhone 6 Plus 8.1

I recently upgraded my iPhone 5 to the new iPhone 6 Plus. Since then, I have noticed some issues with iMessage. I have not had this problem with any of my other iPhones in the past. I am now experiencing problems when I text certain people I get an exclamation mark with a message saying that the message was not delivered. How do I fix this? This happens with a handful of contacts. Others go through just like normal with no problem. My iPhone 6 Plus is updated to the latest software.

Mostly SMS. I had tried sending an employee an imessage earlier and it didn't go through, but he later replied and said that his phone was off during work. Others are SMS messages to non Apple devices that are not being able to send.

A sudden problem using chat when talking withh AT&T Tech Supprt. They spent 90 minutes checking the problem & it all came Down to Fixfox. When trying to chat with them the CHAT BOX blinks off

A problem recently developed using Firefox. When I now try to Chat with AT&T Tech Support about my internet, the CHAT BOX blinks on & off every second. It used to work fine but now it doesn't.
AT&T Tech Support just spent 93 minutes on the phone controlling my computer by remote & every thing pointed to Firefox. It does work fine with all other browsers, too.
AT&T suggested a new auto update for Windows 7 might not be compatible with Firefox. Is there any way to fix this problem?
I'm using Firefox 4.0.1 because Firefox 5 isn't compatible with 2 Tool Bars I need for some very important websites that I can't be without. Firefox said they're working on the problem & I'll upgrade when they've fixed it. But for now, I need this problem fixed.
Thanks!

Don't expect support here. Nokia does not bother to pay a tech or two to support the people who have bought the 920. Not really a point to these forums.
Anyways, i have huge bt issues as well. Cannot connect or see my jawbone. In truck with pioneer nav system (it is illegal here to use a phone without handsfree in vehicle) it links, but when i make a call or receive a call it shows the phone off the receiver icon so it knows call in progress, but i either get no sound from the caller... at all, or i get a robotic mess i cannot decipher. when i cannot hear anything, people can hear me, but when i hear robotic, people can hear me but with distortion. However, when it reads a text message, the phone voice is fine through the system. Because i have to turn bt off then to use phone, i have to return this handset and just go back to android.
Have also had this drop calls a few times now as reception is probably the worst i have seen in a decade... even drops in downtown core. Battery life poor because i assume its always struggling for a signal.

I'm having issues with iMessage. It works fine on wifi and I receive messages as iMessage without issue in network or wifi. However as I send a message it starts as iMessage then says not delivered. Then sends as SMS since I have it enabled.

iMessage works on wifi without issue. However I receive messages on network but can't send. I send a message it starts sending as iMessage ten says it can't send. Then starts to send as SMS since it's enabled. I have reset network sertings, updated to ios7, etc and done about 3 othe suggested in order resets to get it to work and it still hasn't started working when I'm not on wifi. Any suggestions?
It's a iPhone 4S. I have two iPhones. One setup to receive iMessage just to its phone number. Therapeutic to receive to its phone and email. I wouldn't think that would be the issue as all 3 are separate. Bone the same going to both phones.
Thanks for the help!!!

Why is my Droid Mini suddenly not receiving all texts sent to me?

It doesn't matter if the sender is iPhone, Blackberry, etc. or Verizon, AT&T, etc. It started with picture messages. I had to send a text to whoever was sending me a picture before the picture "pushed through". Now I am sporadically not receiving regular texts. I am missing important messages - this is unacceptable!
I have service during the missed messages. I routinely get a "Messaging has stopped working." warning. Sometimes I'm on WiFi, sometimes I'm not.
Any ideas?

We don't want you to miss any messages AMKrieger, I know how important it is to receive and send them. Please make sure your wi-fi connection is turned off, then reset the messaging application (make sure it's the stock application), http://vz.to/1hSEebv . Test your messages again and keep us posted.

After installing ios 6 to my iphone4 and my daughters iphone4s we now get each others text messages. How can we disconnect from each other so that I don't receive the text messages from her and her friends and she does not receive mine?

After installing IOS6 on my iphone 4 and my daughters iphone 4s we have this wonderful connection that we would like to break. We are now seeing/receiving each others text messages. I love my daughter but I don't really want to get all of her text messages from her friends and I don't really want to read every response she sends. Additionally, she can also see my text messages and there are times I really don't need for her to know everything that I am doing.
So It is time to cut the cord we need our own seperate texting. I am not sure what we did to have this happen but how do we undo it?

Get your Apple ID sort out.
Only use the same Apple ID in Settings > iTunes & App Stores to share purchases, no where else.
