They just recently updated to the iOS 5 and now my moms iPhone is texting with iMessage using my dads apple id, is there a way for her to use iMessage w/o it using my dads id?

I can confirm my 4S and all my other devices are not able to activate iMessage after it is toggled off and back on. It simply stays stuck on "Waiting for activation" and eventually goes to "Activation unsuccessful. Turn on imessage to try again". All with no avail. get your engineers on this ASAP apple. More and more people are facing this issue. Devices that are already receiving and sending imessages are unaffected. However when you toggle imessage off and then back on, it does not reactivate. This must clearly be a ongoing issue with your icloud server from yesterdays outages.

Proud user of apple devices for around 5 years, last week my iPhone 5s was not able to deliver an iMessage to an iPhone 5c, so it went as regular SMS text; and when I got a reply, it arrived from the iCloud id. Then, the exact same thing happened on Saturday with another friend using an iPhone 4 (no 4s).
Researching on internet, I read something that people have problem to activate the iMessage from their number and it appears grayed out in the settings, so they cannot select it.... I am able to send iMessages to other iPhones, but I still looked in my settings and my number is grayed out and I CANNOT deselect it (the opposite of what I read), so I still went through the solution proposed where I reset the network settings on my iPhone to factory. I not only lost all the passwords to the WiFi I had, but it didn't solve the issue.
I can not send iMessages to two contacts using their numbers. Additionally, the message history now is split in two in my device -which doesn't make sense as the number and iCloud id belong to the same person; doesn't it make sense that the history merge onto one contact name? It sure displays the name, not the id (phone number or iCloud address).
I assume this is a big flaw of iOS 8.1.1 as iMessages never failed this way for me, or at least that a good reset of the phone wouldn't fix. I found extremely ridiculous that now Apple says the solution is to jump through hoops and loops for a temporal solution. I still think Apple systems are more stable and reliable than the others; but I don't want to see the company start to conform with 'good for now' or 'good enough' operating systems.
PS My friend's iPhone 5s have problems to maintain wireless connections to play music in his own house, while the Apple computer works without issue.Â

If Apple is successful with their endeavors to detect jailbroken phones and shut them down, would you consider switching to an Android handset for your next smartphone?

Received new iPhone 4 yesterday. The screen has a 1 inch hairline scratch. Called Apple Store & was told that they would swap the phone for an unboxed "service" phone. Does anyone know whether these phones are actually new or just recycled or previously returned phones?

I updated my iphone 4s to ios 5.1 last night and then today when I texted someone else with an iPhone using iMessage, my contact came up as my Apple ID email on their phone instead of my name that was associated with my phone number. This obviously caused a lot of confusion because my email isn't my name and the person I texted didn't know who the message was from. The message looks completely normal on my phone and their contact came up fine but mine didn't work on theirs. I also determined it was my phone that was the problem because I texted another person with an iPhone and the same exact thing happened again. I checked to see if anyone else had this problem and I couldn't find any postings on the Apple forum. So if you are having the same problem and/or know how to fix it,

I am having Nokia Lumia 710 with Vodafone(India) 2G activated. I have updated my phone to latest firmware and OS and got hte Internet sharing option in my settings tab, But even then I am unable to share internet.
Others are able to connect to my network if I share but when they try to browse internet,none of the internet pages are opening. Then I have tried to share my internet to my laptop(Windows 7 OS). I was able to connect but I was unable to surf anything.
I turn on Internet sharing on the phone. I connect my MacBook Pro mid 2012 to the phone by WiFi. Now you normally have an Internet connection on your laptop through your phone.
In my case the WiFi connection from my laptop to the Lumia keeps disconnecting after just some tens of seconds. This has happened on 2 different Lumia 920 phones used on 2 different MacBook Pros and an iPad.
This is NOT carrier related. I have already gone through this with my carrier (Elisa).
When i try to use Internet Sharing, it says 'Connections not shared - There's no mobile data connection to share at the moment. Check Your mobile setttings and signal, and try again.' In my mobile, mobile internet is working in all the browsers and i was able to install all the apps using mobile internet. but still it throws an error mentioned above, when i try to use Internet Sharing.
