IPhone :: IMessage And SMS Not Working Post IOS 5.1 Update
Mar 19, 2012
I'm having a problem with both iMessage and SMS since updating my iPhone 4 to IOS 5.1. When texting someone, I receive the audible notification of an incoming text however when I'm in the message thread, the actual message doesn't appear. I can see the unread counter incrementing next to the name (ie. Messages(1)) however to get it to show up I have to back out of the thread and reload.
This occurs on both iMessage and SMS. I've reset iMessage in Settings, rebooted the phone via hard reset to no avail.
I connected my 9800 torch to for a back up I noticed there is an software update.Once the update was complete, my phone was reset to factory settings. I reloaded the back up files of all my contacts but can not get my BBM, Email, facebook to work anymore.The same type off message gets given that I do not have a service plan that supports this application (FB), BBM just hangs and no message gets sent or delivered and as for the email it just says service connection is unavailable.I am currently traveling and is using the phone on wifi only as there is no signal available. All other internet based applications work. Phone works when I am in signal range.

After I had updated my iPhone4 to iOs 5.1 I have noticed that my iMessage doesnt work. The only way it will work is if i send them using my email and not my phone number it only says "verifying" net to my phone number. I have restarted my iPhone and I have even restored it to factory settings and it still wont work. All it says it "Waiting for activation..." under where you turn iMessage on. Anyway to get it to work with my phone number and not my email?
I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 when it was released. My friend updated his iPhone 4S delayed, yesterday. Before yesterday iMessage worked well between our iPhones.But since my friend updated to iOS 5.1 as well, iMessage does not work anymore between our two iPhones.iMessage works well with all other adresses we both use as well. But only our two iPhones cannot use iMessage anymore.
As of last week the facebook iPhone app doesn't post my "status update" to the recent activity but it posts it to my profile wall.When going to face books mobile or desktop site i do not have this problem.Also when trying to upload mobile pictures it gives me a black screen and says it can't be uploaded. Any ideas?
Sorry if this question has been asked before. How do you post a photo on Facebook as a "Wallpost" because its only giving me the option of photos going straight to my mobile photos album.
The internet/LTE on my iphone has stopped working for everything besides phone, iMessage, Facetime (email, safari, and facebook all say they need internet access). I've reset my network, did a soft reset (home and power button). I have internet connectivity since I can do video facetime. What are my next steps to get safari working
I have the latest maps on my Nokia E55, v3.03 10wk01 b05 MW, map v. 0.1.23.112, but the compass is not working. I know it should have a green circle but the circle is alwasys white. Does it work automatically as I cannot find reference to it in the application. Also, the manual says you can input post codes for locations, but they are not recognised. Again, I can find no reference in the application.
After installing Verizon's Android update, the ability to assign different notification sounds is either missing or buried. It is no longer an option under application manager, app settings or on the applications menu.
I was at the Texas State Fair this weekend, and a Verizon guy was trying to con my family into all these "deal." He did have a Bionic, which I managed to get to play with. It was not long before I concluded that the Bionic is way faster than the DROID3. And that's with livewallpapers on. I fired up the camera app, did some browsing on the browser, and nothing. No redraw, no lag.
Now, the launcher speed did improve with the update. But it is still not up to speed with Bionic, it will still redraw coming out of intensive apps, and Launcher Pro blows it out of the water in all but one area. Oh and I went through quite a few pages on the Bionic forums, and did a search for both "lag" and "redraw" and came up fairly empty. With live wallpapers on, Launcher Pro's app drawer drops frames. Live wallpapers doesn't seem to affect the stock launcher at all. Overall LP is faster, but not that one little area.
So when are we going to get some attention around here in Bionic soak test land???
Since I have gotten the ICS update my facebook app is not working correctly everytime I try to post something it crashes! Another question, why am I forced to use 4g with this new ics upgrade? It eats up my data more quickly I would rather use the 3g.
Since receiving the OTA GB update, I have run into an issue where the phone will not make calls. After dialing a number and hitting send, the phone looks like it is about to dial but immediately goes to 'End Call' and disconnects. I'm seeing the same thing after hitting a direct-dial shortcut. The dial screen comes up with the contact's phone number and as soon as the phone connects to start dialing, it immediately goes to 'End Call.' Time of call in every instance is 00:00.
This has happened twice in the last 3 days and the only way I have found to correct it is to pull the battery. A powerdown/reboot does not do anything. The annoyance is magnified since I am using an Otterbox Defender case and have to remove it to access the battery (grrrr!)
I have just updated my 5800 software via the updater After update I have problems - anyone else also have these problems?in messaging the old software would capitalise on each new line the new software will not however if I make a space and then backspace then the line capitalises also if I go out of editing then come back to editing the new will capitalise .ALSO Problem with the alarn.When the alarm goes off I am unable to use the touch screen to stop or snooze anf the stop button does not work. I can only snooze till the third snooze when only stop is available.
I have a problem with the new Media Player that was installed during the recent update of the phone. I have about 1500 music files on SD card, yet the player is only displaying 182 of them on the 'All Songs' playlist. Same goes for other playlists ('Album', 'Artist' etc.) The files could be read no problem with Mediascape. It's really annoying as the Android Market music player I use bases its playlists on the SE software (PowerAMP), therefore it is not adding any more songs than 182 of the Media Player playlist.
I've done the following so far:
- reinstall the update of phone software - restart the phone - unmount and remount SD card - refreshed the playlists in SE Media Player and in PowerAMP - randomly checked the music files for corrupted ones - none of them is damaged or removed; the folders are in the same place where they were before the update and I can play them on PowerAMP if accessed via ASTRO file manager, yet they still do not appear in SE Media Player.
what can be done to remedy the problem are more than welcome. I am extremely unhappy about it as it just tops the pile of problems I had since the Gingerbread update, including the struggle to retrieve my data backup file.
I got an OTA update notification for 5.1 I downloaded and pressed install. It prompted me for a restart which i did. My phone has a setting which required me to punch in screen lock code everytime my phone restarts. Now, after restarting, it asks me to punch in the screen lock code. After punching in screen lock code, its stuck in boot animation loop ### Read some posts online and they mention " unlocking bootloader before updating. What is bootloader ? How do i check if my boot loader is locked or unlocked?
I tried to boot in recovery mode and it shows me " No command" ... I wiped cache partition through recovery mode- still no luck. It's stuck in boot loop..
Have noticed that my Photon can't seem to hold a WIFI connection. I can be sitting right next to my router, and it will drop the connection and start scanning again. Have noticed the same thing with other wifi connections at work. Also the WIFI connection sometimes goes dormant/gray and won't wake up on its own. The only solution is to turn the wifi connection off/on, or to cycle the power on the router. Not sure if its a setting that kills the connection after a period of inactivity, have looked in the settings but can't seem to find anything. I have had this problem pre and post update, but am frustrated as I've just passed my 30 days to return the phone easily if something is wrong with the phone.
As soon as my phone had installed the latest update, i lost the ability to send or receive text messages. The only time I can send or receive is if i am on a phone call. As soon as the call is done, my text messaging is non-functional. I have no issues with calls/internet browsing/apps...just text messaging.
Furthermore, i do not know if this a phone issue or an AT&T issue.
Seems since the update yesterday AM my battery has been draining faster. Haven't made any changes to smart actions or any other settings, but seems I'm down about another 20% at the end of work day the last 2 days. Still not dissatisfied by any means, just curious. Also, last 2 days Android OS has been top on battery use list, compared to prior to update, where it was farther down.Also, never dropped 4G prior to last outage, and now post update/post outage seem to be waffling much more between 3G and 4G.
Finally installed GB, immediately noticed from icon visual changes, thats cool, however the H+ icon in the notifications bar, is a white box now (with H+ in black) and the battery is asolid green battery shape, both icons before were much better detail wise, can I change those or stuck with them?2) At teh bottom the green phone has change positions and graphics, ok I supposed will get used to it, same for O moved to right and different icon, ok again.However I now have two in middle one envelope and one odd blue one, I'd like to move them, but do not seem able to, holding down the icon and moving to trash does not work
Strange bug after Nokia Camera update. All the pictures I took in the weekend seemingly disappeared from my Camera roll album. However, when I connected my phone to the PC, they all showed up on the phone's HD.
Noticed very slow WiFi post the 5.1 update? I have done several speed tests and am getting under 1 mbps. My laptop and desktop both on the same wireless connection are pulling over 8 mbps.
Has anyone been able to get the Watch ESPN app to work post ICS update? It worked well for me prior to ICS, and now if it is opened, the app will lock up, or the screen will lock up, or the phone will reboot itself. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app with no change.
Yet another issue with ios 5.1 update!! My iMessage in now not working!I got it going temporarily yesterday but lost it again this morning.I am in a wireless zone and I have re-booted the phone and gone into settings and switched imessage on and off again?? Is anyone else experiencing this?
