  • HT4137 Will doing this erase old text messages?  If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

    I just looked read iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device.  I've been having a few bugs, but do not want to lose my old text messages.  Will setting up as a new device and then syncing erase old text messages?  If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

    You will not lose text message, if you back up your phone correctly and then restore from that backup.  If your going to restore your phone as new and not from backup, then your text will not be there until you decide to restore from that backup.
    If you don't want to lose the message, take a look in the app store to see if you can transfer to your computer.

  • Keeping Old Text Plan While Upgrading

    Hey Guys,
    I recently upgraded my phone through Amazon Wireless. However, I have not activated the phone yet because I am unsure if I will be able to keep my old text plan. I currently have the 5000+unlimited member to member text plan which seems to no long exsist. Since, I am the only one that texts on my family plan, I rather keep this plan which is $20 a month instead of signing up for the $30 unlimited family share plan. Will verizon be able to grandfrather my text plan even though I upgraded through Amazon Wireless?  Any advice would be great. Thanks

    Congratulations on the recent upgrade. A new phone just in time for the Holidays.
    To answer your question, yes, you will be allowed to keep your old text messaging plan on your line after the upgrade. If for any reason the messaging plan drops off the account you can contact me immediately and I can access your account and make sure the plan is added back to your line.
    I trust this information has fully answered your concern.

  • Image capture will crash app (such as texting or Facebook)

    I have an iPhone 4S on the 7.0 iOS. Lately, anytime I take a photo with any photo app Isuch as texting, Facebook, check deposit etc.) besides the camera app will crash the app. What is the fix, please?
    Thanks

    Hello thirudoc,
    We've an article that provides a number of troubleshooting steps which may help get your camera working in other applications.
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • When transferring from a 3GS to a Iphone 5, will my old text messages transfer?

    I'm transferring from a 3GS to a new IPhone 5. Will my old text messages and emails transfer via the cloud or from my computer?
    Thanks.

    "Messages (iMessage and carrier SMS or MMS pictures and videos)."
    The messages should transfer, and the emails are attached to the email server so your inboxes will come back as well.

  • If I change my number and forget to give to some people.  What message will they receive when they text my old number?

    If I change my number and forget to give to some people.  What message will they receive when they text my old number?   Thank you!

    more than likely they will never know the text did not go through. If the number was assigned to someone else they will get your text message. I did this last week and the person texted me back asking who I was. I responded and apologized and they said no problem.

  • How do I delete old text messages from my iPhone 4 ? When ever I am in the search iPhone old mms keep showin

    How do I hard delete old text messages ? They show up when I am searching iPhone

    I am having the same problem. There has to be a way to get rid of the old messages. Ive cleared all my messages in messages but they still show up. Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Why Do I keep getting random old text messages?

    At least once a week, I get notification of a new text message, but it is an old text message I sent.  The last message in the string is one I sent.  There is no reply from the recipient.  Why Why Why? 

    Sounds like a carrier setting, not a device problem. You should try calling ATT (your carrier) and have them reset the text messaging on your account.

  • How can I read my old text messages after transfer...

    OK, I've got a couple of problems. First of all, I've been unable to send text messages from my 6620. As detailed in this older thread, 
    /discussions/board/message?board.id=messaging&thread.id=14597
    ...somebody on Yahoo answers suggested a possible fix, but it requires deleting all the text messages in m "In," "Out," and "Drafts" folders first.
    I've therefore been dragging my heels about implementing this fix, as I have numerous text messages on my phone which I'd really like to be able to keep and refer back to in the future. The problem is, the last time I checked, there was no way to read any old text messages that you'd removed from your Nokia smartphone and stored on your computer.
    Is this still the case? It seems ridiculous to be that there wouldn't be a way to do something as simple as reading an old text file on your computer, but as I said, the last time I checked, nobody could point to any app or utility that would make this possible.
    I do recall being able to open certain "Mail" files on the Mac, using TextEdit, but the Nokia had buried the messages inside an incomprehensible structure of layers upon layers of folders and sub-folders, and when you opened the messages, you'd often have to wade through tons and tons of duplicates, all of which had tons of bizarre, random ascii characters showing up in the bodies of the text messages.
    So using TextEdit's not a great solution.
    Please, can somebody tell me if there's a program that will enable me to easily find and read my backed-up text messages? Ideally this would be something that works under OS X, but I can use VMWare Fusion or Virtual PC if there's only a Windows solution available. Thank you!

    As I said previously, "Of course this will not include any messages you had prior to first using Verizon Messages on your old phone."
    Verizon Messages will only sync messages which have been sent/received SINCE you first enrolled in it. It will NOT do so for messages from BEFORE.
    You could restore older messages to your phone with an app such as SMS Backup & Restore, but they won't be on Verizon's servers to access from other locations such as desktop/laptop/tablet.

  • I bought my Iphone 4 from Sprint. I have little or no internet service. When I go into extended network areas, my phone sends old text messages to my friends, repeatedly. Is this a Sprint issue?

    I bought my I-Phone 4s from Sprint. The salesman raved about how much faster my internet would be with Sprint, also told me 4g was being added my area, and it would be even faster. Well now 4g is here. All of my friends on AT&T enjoy 4g, while I am only getting 3g, my internet is so slow, I rarely use it!
    Last week I visited the Sprint store where I purchased my phone, to find out what the problem was. They told me NONE of the I-Phones were capable of getting 4g??????  Wow, Has anyone else been blatantly lied to by Sprint.
    The other issue I am having is: every time I leave my home area, and go into the extended area network, and then return into my home area, my phone starts resending old text messages to my friends, that they had recieved days ago!. Of course the Sprint Personnel argued with me and said those were just messages that never went through the first time. I have screenshots of the duplicate messages from my friends, phones.
    My I-Phone was great for the first 2 months. this month my I-Phone has completely quit 3 times, Sprint says a tower is down every time I call in to report it.
    Is anyone else having these problems with the I-phone 4s?

    You are not alone on issues related to weak signals.  It happens to us all regardless of the carrier in the US. 
    I have an iPhone4, legally unlocked with replaceable SIM that I use here In Australia, the US and Europe.  I simply replace the SIM to phone accounts in other countries.  Do have issues at home here in Australia from time to time, but many more problems in the US than any other country.
    When the signal is weak, ususally 1 bar the phone does not have enough power to stay connected.  It will attempt to receive and send, but is trying to process so much that the signal cannot cope. 
    If any employee from Sprint, ATT or any other carrier attempts to tell you it is you and not their system they are out right lying.  Just as they lied when they told you that the iPhone was 4G.  Some try to get around the issue by saying 3GLite, but that really does not apply either because of the mobiles frequency range. 
    In fact the Australian government fined Apple AUD$2.25 million + $330,000 in costs for advertising that the new iPad was 4G and LTE, which it is not.  There is currently another legal challenge over the iPhone4S.
    If you have anything in writing from Sprint that says 4G then you need to contact your states attorney general.  At least file a complaint with both Sprint and the FCC.  If they tell you it is 4G then they either are lying or they do not have a clue to the mobile.
    When the signal is weak the phone keeps attempting to send anything that you have sent.  Sometimes that means multiple sends if the signal keeps dropping to low and it has to try all over again.
    One way around the problem is by using an internet or data based app like Viber or WhatsApp.  Both are voice, text and data Apps that will use Wi-Fi first then 3G if Wi-Fi is not available.  Because they use the data side of your mobiles plan it does not take as much power or size to receive or send.  Plus, because they are primarily Wi-Fi then data bases they do not use as much time or text units.  You can find them online or through the Apple App Store.
    Iv used Viber for years because I can use it overseas or talk, video, text or msg internationally without use of any mobile plan time.
    Rember to that in the states you have I think 72 days to return a mobile to the carrier without any charges. 
    I use ATT in the states and when I am at home here I get almost no signal ... I depend 99% on Viber or WhatsApp to even talk.

  • Why can't I delete my old text messages?

    I'm trying to get rid from stuff from my iPhone, but most of my memory is the documents and data.
    I thought I could get rid of it by deleting some of my old text messages, but it won't let me delete any ot my old texts.
    Every time I try deleting a message from like a month ago my phone freezes and then whe I try to exit my messages
    and reopen it, it deletes all of my messages! PLEASE HELP!

    I have a 32GB  iPhone 5s, am running the most current iOS (8.1.3)
    None of the above steps actually accomplish PERMANENTLY DELETING OLD MESSAGES! I have over 8 GB of iMessage text messages. I have tried every suggested method of delete, from one at a time swiping, to "edit" , highlight and delete. It works in the moment, and LOOKS deleted, but doesn't actually REMOVE the messages. iMessage locks up often, then I am forced to reboot my phone.  When I reboot, all messages back to 2013 are BACK ON MY PHONE! 
    I found a great app, and actually paid $35 to try to fix this! It allowed me to see and copy the old text and voice messages that I did want to keep. That's awesome, and I have saved to my desktop computer the files I want. Unfortunately this program doesn't have (apple) permission to delete the files.
    Soooo......
    I have set the "keep messages" function to only 30 days. There are STILL messages all the way back to early 2013.
    I read that I needed to delete, then SYNC w/my iTunes to make them permanently go away. NOPE. THEY COME BACK.
    I have done a complete restore, hoping it was just some bug, that would get cleaned out in the process. NOPE. THEY COME BACK.
    In the meantime, functionality is HORRIBLE due to the fact that the app is over filled.
    Someone please give me a real suggestion. PLEASE. I will be forever grateful.
