  • IPhone 5 not receiving messages

    My phone sporadically stops receiving iMessage and SMS ever since the iOS8 update. I now have iOS8.1 and still have the same problem. I have to constantly restart my phone using the lock screen and home button. Please help. This is important because I am not receiving very important messages when I should be.

    Hey Karly,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there’s an issue receiving text messages on your iPhone 5 since upgrading iOS, which I image would be very frustrating. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of great troubleshooting tips that’ll resolve issues receiving messages on iOS devices.

    You might also want to try a reset on your ipad,
    Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad  will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • Why does my iPhone 5s not receive incoming calls

    My iPhone 5s does not ring when receiving incoming calls yet I have signal, do not disturb is off and I receive texts or voicemails notifying me of a missed call which I can return immediately. What is going on? How can I fix this?

    Yes the ringtone works. I know you are trying to help however I am fairly tech savvy and have eliminated all basic user defined settings that could cause the issue. The issue is not that there is no sound the issue is that there is no call incoming notification at all. The call does not connect to my Boone to even make it ring and display as a missed call

  • HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

  • TS2755 My ipad does not receive messages, the bubble in the green background. My iphone does.

    My ipad does not receive messages, the bubble in the green background. My iphone does.
    I can use my ipad to send messages, but it only moniltors the ones i send with the ipad. All the other messages I get on my iphone are missing.
    Any idea why?

    "The bubble in the green background" indicates the message was an SMS (cellular text) message.  If the background were blue, it would mean the message was an iMessage.
    The difference is important.  Your iPad is not a cellular telephone.  It cannot send or receive cellular text or MMS messages.  It is, however, an Apple device which means it can communicate using Apple's iMessage to/from other Apple devices (typically over WiFi).

  • My iPhone is not receiving mail but these messages continue to flash at the bottom of the screen:  Checking for messages, Updated just now, checking for messages, etc.  After a minute or so it will flash downloading 1 - 32 messages but nothing is received

    My iPhone is not receiving mail but the following messages continue to flash over and over at the bottom of the screen:  "Checking for messages, Updated just now, Checking for messages", etc.  After a minute or so it will flash downloading 1 - 32 messages but nothing is received and then the "Checking for Messages," etc. starts back again.   I turned the phone off for 30+ minutes and also tried to reset it, but the problem continues.   Any ideas on how to solve the problem?

    Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
    If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

  • Switched to Samsung GS5 2 months ago, still not receiving messages from iphone users

    I switched to a non iphone over two months ago and ever since then I cannot receive messages from iphone users sending in imessage format. They have to turn imessage on and off to be able to text me. This has been extremely inconvenient since I need to receive these messages for work in addition to my personal life. I have tried multiple suggestions I've read about, still nothing works. It's like this is apple's way of keeping customers using their iphone instead of switching for fear of not receiving messages. They won't really fix it either when we all know technology is advanced enough to fix this. HELP.

  • Why is one iphone displaying the text messages of the other 2 iphones in my house?

    Why is one iphone displaying the text messages of the other 2 iphones in my house?

    That would be imessage and not text message.
    As stated by sberman, it's because the users are sharing apple id.
    On each devices - settings - message - send&receive- remove or uncheck the apple ids.

  • Why can I send  but not receive them?

    Why can I send  but not receive them?

    Macrumors posted a solution for this.  I used it and it seems to have worked for me.
    Here's what they said:
    1. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    2. Reset networking settings in Settings > General > Reset
    3. Reenable iMessage in Settings > Messages

  • Why is my iPhone screen not turning off?

    Why is my iPhone screen not turning off?

    Sorry, my previous post was meant for another thread.
    You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.
