Why do some portions of text messages get deleted on their own?

Text messages on iPhone 4 seem to disappear on their own.

Hello clew1983,
The following article details a few steps that can be taken in order to get through the restore process (although the article does indicate 'when trying to sync').

  • Why do some of my text messages get received "from" my email address instead of contact name?

    WHen I send text messages, sometimes my email address appears in the receipients message box instead of my contact name.  This also results in multiple people sometimes receiving the message (those set up under my apple id)...any ideas?  I'm thinking it has to do with the SMS messaging setup.

    Its because you are sending them as iMessages and not SMS.
    If you want to turn iMessage off, go to settings, messages and turn it off.

  • All Text Messages Were Deleted On Their Own & I Can't Do A Restore

    I have an iPhone4 and this morning I woke up and see that my laptop (windows) had been restarted due to updates. My phone was plugged in to the laptop because it was charging. I have a password on my laptop so once I put the password in, it is like turning it on and of course it starts charging my phone and itunes starts doing a sync. I did not know that my messages were deleted until I went to send someone a message and that is when I noticed all messages were gone except the ones that I just received this morning. I tried to do a restore but it said I couldn't do a restore because I didn't have enough space available(even after I deleted a bunch of stuff). Long store short, I been trying to fix this problem all morning and a few syncs have been done so I'm asking for help. Are my messages now gone for good? Is there anything I can do to retrieve them?
    Side Note:This may or may not mean anything but my phone has been running slow for the last 2 days.

  • Why do receivers of my text messages get them mixed with messages I have sent them in the past?

    The hardware is an iPhone 4 on iOS 5.1.1 with a capacity of 16GB (14.0GB). Currently I have 1.8GB available memory. The phone has never been jailbroken and no external accessories have ever been attached to it.
    The problem:
    Some of the receivers of my text messages have recently told me that a number of my text messages are coming in a little jumbled up. Apparently the message I had just sent gets concatenated with a past message or various past messages. The order where the past message gets mixed is not always the same - sometimes it's in front of what I have typed and sometimes it's in the end but in all cases inserting the past message also deletes parts of the message I typed. Furthermore when checking the thread there seems to be nothing wrong and the messages are shown in the same way I have typed them rather than how the receiver got them.
    The question:
    I have tried to see if other users on the same carrier, from the same locations as myself had the same problems as myself on other systems. I have checked Symbian, BB, Android and the older type of non smart phones and I have found no one with this problem. This rules out the carrier completely.
    I would like to know if this is a problem which requires intervention by Apple or if it something I can fix myself. I have reinstalled the iOS5.1.1 yesterday but the problem seems to stay. I have turned the phone off and on a couple of times but it was in vain. I have also turned the phone off by holding the home and the standby buttons, but the problem seems to stay.
    Any help would be very appreciated. I do not find any objection if I have to take my phone back to the official seller but if it something I can handle myself I would save them the hassle.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Why do some if my texts show on my ipad and others only on my phone??

    Why do some of my text messages come up only on my iPhone while others are shown on iPhone and iPad?

    As I understand it, if your iPad is wi-fi only, you will only see text messages sent from other Apple devices. Others sent through cellular service will only be seen on a cellular device, i.e. the iPhone.

  • I deleted some of my text message histories to get rid of 'other' space (6.33 gb). They were gone from iMessage, but they still showed up in search, so they were still taking up space on my phone. I synced my iPhone (4s) but the messages are still there.

    I deleted some of my text message histories to get rid of 'other' space (6.33 gb). They were gone from iMessage, but they still showed up in search, so they were still taking up space on my phone. I synced my iPhone (4s) with iTunes but the messages are still there. How can I get rid of these texts for good and have more space on my phone? 6.33 gb of other space is way too much, thats almost half of my overall available space (13.5 gb.) I don't want to reset my phone and lose all my other texts/ app progress/ photos. I do have backups, but when I restore from the backup the other space comes back along with everything else. What can I do to get rid of this other space and the 'deleted' text messages? (I'm running iOS 6.1.3 if that helps)

    But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
    I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

  • There are text messages that I'm having trouble deleting.  With some of my text messages, I can swipe to the left and delete ... or press and hold, get more and delete to trash can icon. But there are some where neither will work. Can't delete. Help!

  • Why does some of my text in imessage get underlined?

    Why does some of the text in my imessages get automatically underlined, and how do I change this please?

    Is it underlining phone numbers, links? You cannot change it when highlighted blue. If it is underlined red then it has registered as a spelling error. Try going to (Settings > General > Keyboard) There, you can turn off "Check Spelling" and it will no longer underline any words.

  • TS3274 Why can't I send text messages to some of my people in my contact list?

    Why can't I send text messages to some of my people in my contact list? What do I have to do?

    You can send imessages to anyone who is using an Apple device (recent models).It will try to go via wifi but if it can't then it will try to send as an SMS and for that you need cellular capability.
    Does your iPad have cellular capability?  If not then you can't send to non-Apple devices through iMessage.
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • Kin one not sending and receiving some of my text messages?

    I've had my kin one for several months now (mine is used as a feature phone, no data package). I was having no problems up until now.
    in the past week or so, I've noticed that I'm not getting some of my text messages. also, some people are not receiving some messages I send.
    plus, when I send a message, normally it pops up right away in the thread, so I can read what I just sent. lately, it's not doing that anymore. if I want to read what I just sent, I have to back out to the main menu, and then go back to that contact's message thread to read it.
    is anyone else having these issues?  I wonder if they're going to get worse.....

    When I am recieving messages from friends they sometimes arrive as blanks messages, usually 3 at a time.  And recently I have been having trouble receiving messages, as well as sending messages. I have not added anything new to my phone. I tried *228. And Yes I recently moved, but have been living here without many problems for 6 months. 
    I have tried turning the phone off and removing the battery, as well as removing the battery while the phone was still on. These things may help for one or two messages, but  then reverts back to the missed text and unreceived messages.
    I can definitely see how this can be unsettling for you.  I use text messaging all the time and if I was having these issues I would be concerned as well.  In order to resolve your issue can you please PM me your name and number and I can see what other options we have for you.  Hope this helps.  Thanks.

  • Why can I no longer text message on the larger format by turning my phone?

    Why can I no longer text message on the larger format by turning my phone on its side?

    Hi,
    Since iChat 6 the SMS option in the Menus has disappeared.
    However if you add the number to a Buddy List as if it were  Screen Name but with the leading +1 (as in +1234567890) it will work over AIM.
    It only works to US phones on some Carriers.

    How do I delete/forward portions of text messages in ios7

    I'm guessing you mean portions of the thread? Tap on the message you want to delete or foward. Tap "More" on the pop up menu that appears. Select any messages you want to forward or delete. Tap either the trash can in the lower left or the forward arrow in the lower right.
