IPhone :: IMessage Not Showing Which Type Of Phone The Message Came From?
May 13, 2012
When I receive a text message from a friend A, I cannot see, which device this friend texted me from. When I then hit reply, I dont know whether this message will be charged for (sending it to a mobile phone) or free (sending it to an apple ID). This is especially an issue with international texts. Is it possible to have the device shown below the name, they same way it works in "Recent" tab for phone calls? There I can see, whether the person called from their mobile phone, their home phone, via face time.I know, I could just start a new message and pick the receipient manually, or create two separate contacts with a hint in the first name field (e.g. "Apple ID) but that is not as convenient as to just reply to an exiting message.
When an iMessage comes in [on new 4s] the screen shows the entire body of the message. It seems the option to not show message and just show the sender is no longer available in Settings-iMessage.how to change this?
This problem started today. All singular imessages are not responding in this way, so far only the group. After researching I have done the following so far and nothing is working.
1. Turn off/on the phone.
2. Checked for updates. (none)
3. Reset the factory settings.
4. Cleared and re-entered icloud name/password.
5. Turned off/on "group messaging", "mms", AND "sms" just to be sure.
6. Made sure "send/receive" has both icloud and cell number.
I just came home from an international trip and am wondering if some settings or restrictions may be limiting the group messages.
This is only happening when I'm texting someone using iMessage - it'll say that they sent their message as a text message, but then a few minutes later I'll get their exact same message again, but this time as an iMessage - it's happened with multiple people - it says I'm still in iMessage "mode" but they're in text message mode and then i'll often receive the same message again - this has only started happening recently, and it doesn't happen every time but it happens often and I'm not sure why- has this happened to anyone else?
When I type a message the buttons along the bottom do not work, even when I try to access internet I am not able to switch between number and letters to be able to type the numbers or special characters?
When i send messages using iMessage on mac to an apple iphone, it shows that message was received from my email address not from my number. Is there a way to show that messages are received by the mobile number not by apple ID?
I have the iPhone 3GS which has iMessage. The past few days when I go out of the house and without the wifi, I noticed that if another iMessage user sends me a iMessage, i don't get it.I have the cellular data on and the sms option on as well. Today for example, I was receiving and sending out iMessages to one of my contacts and it was working perfectly. However, another contact of mine with iMessage tried sending me at least 3 iMessages and I never received them until hours after. Im not sure why Im able to receive and send iMessages to one contact, but not the other without being connected to the wifi.
After last update i can not see a type of mobile network while scanning them in settings - More networks - mobile networks - network operators.
I can only see the name of the mobile operator without type of mobile network. Before last update I saw the name of the network and the network type (eg. 2G, 3G...)

when viewing my message folder, it shows phone calls sent and received. I want to only see my emails when viewing the folder. Phones made and received are showing in the phone folder and that is want i want. Can anyone help me?
For last few days I am having a problem with K790i. When I turn on my phone it shows a small box showing 'Please wait' after the Sony Ericsson logo disappears. Then after waiting for about 10 minutes another small box appears with same 'Please wait ' error. I tried the FW update by SEUS, but it's taking just 30 seconds to install, which I think is weird and might be it's not even updating. So is there any way to Master Reset the phone without being on? By the Keys or something?
My message app will only send out text. It won't send out in iMessage. My send button is green instead of blue. All my settings are good. iMessage is on wifi is fine.
Why is my iMessage on my iPhone and iPad not working good? My Internet and signals are good but when I send a iMessage to other ppl with iMessage it doesn't go through. It sends it as a text message. Sometimes it will work but most times it won't.
When I send a message to other iPhones it just says "Sending" and nothing goes through.Â
Under Messages>Send&Recieve my phone number is there but not checked off and there is no way to select it. My email IS there and checked, so my messages are only going through to other iPads.Â
just set up iMessage on my iMac. Both my wife and i have iphone4s. I can imessage from imac to my iphone. can not imessage to my wife from the imac - i get a message "name is not available for imessage". i can imessage from my 4s to her 4s I must be missing something in the setup of her account.
I am traveling in Europe for the weekend and want to be able to use iMessage to text a friend back home for free, but the only thing that pops up when I hit the message app is Text Message.
both my partner and i have recently purchased an iphone4, when messaging each other some appear in BLUE bubbles and some in GREEN bubbles, why does it change from imessage to text message during the same conversation if we are both registered to imessage services?
I would like to know how I can turn off iPhone's iMessage system and just send regular text messages to other iPhone users.Here's why.On two separate occassions I have missed a date with the same guy because we would send each other messages, and get no reply. Why? Because the iPhone appears to choose to send it as an iMessage.But because one or the other isn't connected to a wireless port at the time it doesn't go through.so we're both waiting for the other to reply and it never happens.So we assume the other is asleep, phone died, whatever and plans are automatically cancelled.We take the train home and then iMessage floods both of our phones with 30 minutes worth of texts.
I would like to have the ability to send a text as a text message, and only send an iMessage when I choose it to be the wiser of two methods of sending a text.iMessage is not my preffered method of sending a text because it doesn't work as well.It does a terrible job of letting me know when it can't send and it utilizes wifi which is less abundant than the network I'm on.Moreover I have unlimited texts with my plan.So I don't understand the point of a phone automatically trying to send texts through wifi when it doesn't work as well,inadvertantly cancels my date twice, and leaves me bitter and ALONE at home again.So do I have an option to just send texts as regular texts? Or is this a new feature that I can't control?
If I have my internet/data turned off and iMessage turned on but I have "send as SMS" turned off and my friend who has an iPhone sends me a message and I receive it as a text message, do I get charged? Does she get charged?
It happens quite often every 3rd sms i sent , that whenever I type a message then lights goes off and Handset restarts itself. I have done Hard Reset with *#7370# and Also Reinstalled the firmware.
Using a Samsung Galaxy S5 on Rogers, Lollipop.Started with the cursor jumping around randomly when I would type an email. Read a fix to turn off predictive text so I have to do that now just to use the email app.Now, I can't even type in the body of an email. If I create a new email, it prompts for the recipient, which I enter fine. Then it lets me select the subject field but it will not go into the body of the email when I touch it to begin typing my email. I've tried changing keyboards, minimizing the keyboard - nothing. This happens about 95% of the time.
