IPhone :: Way Can Set Texts To Him To Default To Text Format?
Apr 22, 2012
A friend of mine recently got a new phone and is no longer using an iPhone. When I try to text him now the text keeps trying to send it as an iMessage and then converts to a text but sometimes this conversion is slow and the text will go out 5-10 minutes later. Is there any way I can set texts to him to default to text format? My phone doesn't seem to be understanding that the recipient no longer has an iphone.
Is there a way to make the new forum format remember my default settings? It seems, on no what computer or device I use, the forums can not remember the setting to sort the posts by latest activity.
I have text messages stored on the iphone. Does anybody know how to copy text messages and then send them to the iMac, so that the text message can be used in another format, such as Pages or another word type document ? ...OR ... is there a method for copying text messages and pasting them to another format so that all the data is retrieved ? ie : such as sender, body of message, recipient, date, time, etc ..
I have a verizon iphone 4 and all of my texts and the message window have disappeared from my phone. How can I restore them, or is this a Verizon issue?

Lately, incoming texts are not activating the selected sound. I have checked the sound in the settings and it works. But why does it not sound when a text comes in?Â
My friend recently changed from an iPhone to an android device. Everytime I send him a text, my iPhone keeps attempting to send the message as an iMessage first and then falls back to a text. How do I tell it that my friend no longer has an iPhone?
Sometimes when I text another person who has an iPhone the text message switches from iMessage to a regular text message -- from a "blue" message to a "green" one (if you know what I mean). I do not have an unlimited texting plan, so this means it counts against my 200 text limit. Does anyone know why this happens and if there is a setting I need to adjust?
I've recently got an HTC One M8, and when I try to write a long text message, thats long enough to not fit all on the one window (so it has to scroll), it scrolls so that the bottom line of text is just above the on-screen keyboard. But THEN when i type, the auto suggest words appear above the keyboard, and cover over what I'm typing so that I can't see it, which is really annoying and means every word I have to click back and forth between the editing screen and the other screen to get the view of what I just wrote back.
PS I just noticed it only happens in landscape orientation. I always write texts this way since the keys are bigger and my hands are large. In portrait orientation it works fine.
So now my question is, is is possible to write long texts in landscape format?
I can text messages all day but sending or receiving pictures will not work. my s5 will just remain in sending mode infinitely will not download as well.
Over the past few days I have received a message from my sister (who is in Antigua using an iPhone 4). The texts I receive are split into 2/3 texts. Is this normal or if not what can I do to resolve the hassle of receiving text messages this way?
I have been trying to send a text to just one person and just enter in his contact information; however it seems that the text then gets sent to additional people as well. Is there a way in settings to make sure this does not happen again.
I am not getting notifications from incoming text messages. I have to open the stock texting app, and I will immediately see the unread messages, and at that time I get the 'Droid' sound and the text icon appears in the notification bar. I am running a totally stock X2 with 2.3.3. I have no other text app installed other than the stock app, and I would rather keep it that way.
Just rebooted my 9700 and all my texts got combined into one text from one sender even though most of them are from different senders they all appear to be from the same sender!
I did a forum search for my problem, and couldn't find an answer for my specific issue, which is this:My AT&T 9700 worked great until about a month ago, when it started to freeze while I was text messaging. Looking through the forums here, I noticed that it was happening when I had large numbers of saved texts, and I started deleting the threaded messages so that I was never over about 20-25 texts per person. That solved the problem for 2 weeks.Last week, I started deleting all text messages beyond 15 texts, total, and still I have the issue. I just had the phone freeze and refuse to allow me into the threaded portion of the text after just 3 texts (2 from my wife and 1 from me)!Does anyone else have this problem? I have done the following as well, in order: Battery pull Factory reset, no additional applications Upgraded to the latest AT&T approved OS (5.0.0.602?) Battery pull Factory reset, no additional applications Each time, the problem has recurred. I never have less than 105MB of application memory available. I run my practice via email and text messages when I am (frequently) out of the office, so this is becoming a critical issue for me. Ideas?
I'm reading a text and I get two texts while I'm reading. They pop up below the loaded conversation, at the bottom of the screen. I can see who they are from and the first line of the message. When I return to the main text window however, the new texts are nowhere to be found, they have disappeared.
This is pretty frustrating--were they just glitchy re-sends of previous texts? Should I text the people who sent them and say, hey, did you send me a text today, because if you did, it disappeared?...
My iPhone won't let me send texts to someone who used to have an iPhone but doesn't anymore. I can receive texts from them but can't send them texts. Says its an invalid number.
I'm not sure why, but whenever I try to send an image from the default text messanger, the image automatically 'cancels' itself. The box will turn into a dark gray and say cancel. I current only a Samsung Galaxy S6.
When I first got the phone, everything was fine, but then all of a sudden the problem showed up.
When I use a different messanger app, such as Textra, which is what I use now, I can send the image fine.
The only way I can send an image via default messanger is to manually go into gallery and share the image. I would prefer not to do that.
I use the stock Samsung messaging app.I did something and now every time I write a text the print is quite large.It's rather annoying, I pinch it smaller but it's a pain to do it every time.How do I set smaller text as default?
What file folder on the Blackberry (Device Memory), please, is the default for storage of MemoPad txt files? I created a sample memo and cannot find it with the explorer on either the device memory or the sd card. I am wondering whether I can use this for business -- each client has a text file in their own folder, and each client has been assigned a category for task purposes -- the text files have my billing entries, contact information, and notes about the client. I want to make use of MemoPad, but need to better understand how this thing operates.
I always give my closest friends individual ringtones to separate them from all the other texts that I get. So I went to their contact info, added notification field and then changed their notification tone. But for some reason when they text me, they still come up as the default notification as like every other text does. Why can't I customize the text notifications by adding a different text notification to each of my contacts that I want a different notification tone for?
I'm looking for a way to either change the default text size for everything on the phone or use a pinch zoom function. I found the zoom mode in Accessability, but I dont need something like that, I just want the type fonts to be a little bigger. I know I could do that on my HTC phone, am I just missing the place to change that setting?
My text messages, both new  and  old are unaccessible. New messages are shown as received and the first list displayed in  the index but I cannot read any of them.
