Anyone else experience issues with this? Its been a month or so since I made the switch from iPhone 5s to M8. A lot of my friends and family on iOS still complaining that their messages arent going through to me. Even after erasing my number and re-adding it. Also, even after I erased my number from all Apple devices.

Have you advised them to go to Settings > Messages > Turn on Send As SMS if iMessage is unavailable?

This also happens to me. Some people with iPhones can text me fine and with others it goes through iMessage and fails

i believe Crapple does this on purpose to punish us for moving to android. I dont see why this isnt something that would automatically shutoff when the sim is inserted into an android phone or can be changed by logging into your icloud or something. Leave it up to Crapple to lock us down and make us go by their rules.
Either you still have an idevice or Mac with Imessage running or your friends are not telling the truth. All you have to do is delete the conversation on an idevice and next text works fine. Sure you don't have an iPad in the closet with Wi-Fi or something? Someone could have your login too.

Haha nah been happening with my cousin and dad as well. Its just Apple's Servers have to deregister your number from their server. iMessage ppl erased the convos in front of me and tried to text me and it still goes to iMessage. Highly unlikely that anyone has my password, and even more highly unlikely that I'm logged in somewhere else on another device. I double, triple checked and made sure.

when they send an message on iMessage does it fail for them or go through?
I had same problem. Called Apple and they said I already had my number deactivated. So I had ask my friend do this «send message. Double tap message. Click send as sms» after about 10 messages their phones started to realize my number was no longer working with an iPhone.

**Solved**
Hey all -
Ok, so, i remembered that I installed CHOMP on my android device the night that all of this started happening for me.
I have since uninstalled CHOMP and now use STOCK and HANDCENT. Using my own iPhone 4 on AT&T, I am NO LONGER able to reproduce this crashing behavior using HANDCENT or STOCK - regardless of how large in size the MMS is. I have read on other forums that CHOMP was used as well.
There is just one instance of a person crashing a bunch of phones in a store as a test - and I wanted to see if it was CHOMP that he used.
To add to this solution, can anyone confirm that they used CHOMP (or CHOMP was used) when you noticed this issue?
Thanks a ton in advance, and hopefully this can be laid to rest.
Matt!
Hey all,
**Update** I just confirmed this. I fixed the signal drop loop from my original post be restoring my iPhone to an earlier backup. Problem 100% solved. AS SOON as I sent an MMS from my VZW HTC Rezound, (and I even limited it to less than 600kb), by iphone went into the signal drop loop. 30 seconds with service, 30 seconds without service, and this repeats endlessly.
I don't understand how there can't be more talk about this. I called AT&T twice and talked to Tier 2 tech support - they were clueless, so i at least filled them in.
Here's my original post.
This is crazy! I have an ATT iPhone suffering from it as well as a friend. Both phones have had MMS sent from my VZW Rezound. It seems that CDMA Verizon MMS to GSM AT&T iPhone will instantly crash the iPhone....

This happened to me yesterday and didn't think of it much just restarted my phone. Today though it happened again and right now i realized i was chatting with a buddy of mine on AT&T. I was wondering why no one texted back till i saw that every text was on wait.
My friend doesn't have iPhone but just a regular old school razr flip phone and he doesn't get ANY pictures I send him, only a blank text.

I noticed when I send a pic or MMS to an iPhone I have to use the stock messaging service to get it to go through. It will say it has been sent through ChompSMS but it is never received by any iPhone so far.
Are you using the stock messaging app or a third party?

I noticed that too.
There must be 30 people I work with who have iphones & when I was using Handcent (which I must have used in 6 phones previous to the rezound) it caused all kinds of MMS issues with iphone users. This is a serious problem for me as we use MMS all the time where I work.
Now, with the Rezound & a red theme I really like the stock messaging app so I never installed Handcent and now my MMS go through just fine to everybody.

Ya but he used to get pictures when I sent it from my Xperia play.
Actually,
This all happened when I installed Chomp (go figure). I'll test it with handcent using my own iphone. I'll try Stock MMS a few times first.

I can confirm this behavior. Plus Chomp crashes intermittently when sending MMS (from VZW) and I can repeat this behavior. I don't think I had this problem in earlier versions of Chomp.

Hey guys
I'm running CM10.1 and using Swype...if that changes anything.
I love the stock messaging app and have tried others...didn't like them...one thing I really would like to see is having sending messages instant, like iPhone's, and then you see them being sent.
If any of you have ever used What'sApp before, you'll know what I'm talking about...you hit send, and it instantly shows up in the conversation...whereas messaging has a delay for me (usually when texting multiple people at once, or sending one message after another quickly). There are other little laggy quirks that piss me off...but this is one of the biggest. It's something subtle but very annoying.
Anything?
Thanks,
Elliott

Okay so I have a very strange thing to report regarding Google Now:
My wife has the Galaxy S3 and I have the Note 2 on Verizon. My wife this week noticed that when opening Google Now the recent search history is displaying MY personal searches along with her own searches!
The phones are not connected in anyway at all and HER Google Now is displaying MY searches. I noticed it only occurs for searches that I am doing while out on the 4G LTE network, and is not picking up any of my local WIFI searches. I can be out 20 miles away from her and she will receive my mobile searches under the Google Now search history.
This is extremely odd and somewhat creepy at the same time. I have no connection to her phone via any accounts and everything is her own accounts.
What is this issue? Anyone familiar with it? Google is almost impossible to contact so I do not know what to do about it...
PS: I am rooted etc running Beans Build 14 and she is on complete stock no root S3 touchwiz.
Do you guys happen to have your browsers synced to chrome on your pc? My wife, and I share our search history through chrome. If you look in google now, it displays your search history from your browser as well. This could be it, though I am just taking a stab at it.

Something similar is happening to me. I've done tests and found that my searches show on my wife's search history when using Chrome but NOT Google Now, and also does *not* show up on her search history when using my desktop version of Chrome. As her phone is the primary account holder, I wonder if Google hasn't decided that all Chrome searches from phones on our plan aren't hers, and putting them in her history.
EDIT:
OK, after performing some more tests, it has to be the Verizon account. I've completely logged out of my Google account both in the Chrome for phone and the general phone google account. I mean, I literally removed my Google account from the phone, and searches were still showing up in her history.

You think it is Verizon doing this not Google? Either way it seems like a big breach in privacy that should be addressed. I have 5 phones attached to the family plan and I will be taking a look at another phone to see if it has it as well. I am the primary phone on the account so it may be be somehow related to that.
I agree it is definitely related to Chrome app browser. I forgot chrome is a separate entity from Google Now.

Well, I thought it was Google associating the Verizon account or something. But, turns out, it was definitely something local to the phone. This has been going on for a while for me, and I finally got tired of it, so I completely factory rest my phone. That finally cleared it up. However, I want to stress, I'm 100% sure I didn't have my wife's account logged into my phone. She's crazy about security and changes her password every couple months (last time was last week, and the issue has been going on longer than that, so it's literally impossible).
I will say, at some point in the past I did have her account on there when we needed to get access to her email for something. My current theory is that there was still a "ghost" of the account still on there somehow associated with Chrome. But really, I'm just grasping at straws. All I know is a factory reset fixed it.

The ghost file theory makes no sense / isn't plausible for my situation. I completely wipe and factory reset my phone at least once a month for ROM purposes. I have never have used her phone for any personal accounts or anything like that. She does not even have the Chrome app on her phone.
Something else is up with this. . .
Is it just me or does this seem like a somewhat serious issue?

So I am in the UK on GiffGaff which uses the O2 network. My wife and I both have Nexus 4s. When she searches on her phone it comes up in my google now but not in hers! The only link we have is that I ordered her phone from my Google account.
The phone itself was registered and has only ever been used with her account though. Could it be because we're on the same WiFi network?
I suppose a solution was never found?
This just started happening with me and my girlfriend. I have a nexus 4 and she has an iPhone 4s. I'm on T-Mobile, she's on att. My searches do not show up on her phone. And something she searched on her phone while stuck in traffic also showed up on my phone when I wasn't anywhere near her. Though I suppose it could've been some sort of WiFi sync when she got home.

Afraid not. She has a laptop, I have a laptop, the two never cross polinate.
I think I would have worked that out by now. I have never signed in on her laptop.
But, when she searches on her phone, it comes up in my google now.
Something I find with google now is it doesn't show searches from the phone's chrome browser as suggestions, just those from other devices. For some reason it thinks her phone is one of my devices. It doesn't think my phone is one of hers though?
So Mr WolfePack, now solve the case!

Hello,
I have an android.. HTC DNA (Verizon).. rooted, running custom ROM (ViperDNA)
My friend has the iPhone 5 (Verizon)
I get most SMS texts that they send to me, but not all of them. Occasionally, I'll be missing 2 or 3 messages that they sent during a conversation. I never have this problem with anyone else. I suspect it's an iPhone/Android communication problem of some kind? But, then again, I have other iPhone-using friends, and don't have this problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to the culprit?
Thanks.

You verify your APN settings?
Not recently, but I have in the past. Plus, like I said, it's only this one person I'm having an issue with.
I'm not sure if this problem is isolated to me or if it affects everyone, so I thought I'd ask.
tl;dr: text messages don't persist on the phone, and in Google Messenger in particular, outgoing texts don't display as part of the conversation.
I use Google Messenger by default, and I noticed that none of the text messages I sent were appearing in the conversation history. Turns out, they weren't reaching the recipients either.
I switched to Google Hangouts, and all of the texts I received from (and sent to) other people before my upgrade were present, but any texts I received from others were gone.
I tried deleting and reinstalling Google Messenger, thinking maybe it was a version/cache thing, and again, any text I received before the upgrade was present, but none since the upgrade, including any I had received while using Google Hangouts.
Something definitely seems f%@#ed up here. Am I alone?

I switched to Google Hangouts, and all of the texts I received from (and sent to) other people before my upgrade were present, but any texts I received from others were gone.
I tried deleting and reinstalling Google Messenger, thinking maybe it was a version/cache thing, and again, any text I received before the upgrade was present, but none since the upgrade, including any I had received while using Google Hangouts.
Something definitely seems f%@#ed up here. Am I alone?

Nope, text not working here either, did much the same as you, cleared, deleted, still nothing.

Same here. Verizon's messaging app works though, and actually seems half decent.
Yep just got off phone with VZ support and that is the workaround (use Verizon Messages Plus) they are doling out as a fix to the problem, says tech will be getting in touch with Sony for fix and may be another small update for it.
Lots of reddit users are having the same issue. If you're up for it, it looks like a factory reset will fix the problem.
Had to do a frigging factory reset, but all works well now

FDR sucks, wife will not be happy. I have a replacement phone to activate replacing the one I just updated, so will activate then do factory reset.
Bites.
Is anyone else having tissues access visual voicemail?

Did a factory data reset on new phone after update, takes a long time to boot sets at check mark screen for several minutes, standard text does work now.
Factory reset does fix text
I haven't had many phones. I'm assuming this doesn't happen to often, cause this is crazy. What if only 10% of you having update issues needed your phone for work? How can companies stay in business doing this kind of thing?

If it is a company supplied phone I would think that any modifications would be forbidden, any good IT department would be on top of any shananagans as such. I'm IT for the corporate office I work at (don't be impressed, I'm the office Alphageek and won the title by default.) and when corporate supplied the phones they maintained tight rein over the units. Now we are "bring your own device". As such if your phone is critical for your job and you bork it I would expect corporate to tell you to fix the problem ASAP even if it means buying another phone.

That must have you hopping all over the place like a rabbit trying to fix everyone's issues. But I was speaking more about Verizon's consumer base relying upon their phones in general.

My bad, I see your point now. For an official update this one has created a world of grief for many that installed it via the "official" route. Usually a factory reset is a last resort to many and apparently for this update it looks like a required step.
[EDIT] Just checked the official Verizon forums. People are struggling with the same problems that are being posted here. It looks like a couple have figured out a factory reset works and are trying to spread the word, there is very little Verizon help showing up.

A few years ago it did back when we were running a mix of name brand systems (Dell, Gateway and HP). I would say it occupied 30-50% of my time, since then we have standardized on Dells running Windows 7. That is a bulletproof combination in an office environment. I know everyone bad mouths Dells but since we with Dell/Win 7 my workload has dropped 90%.

I think the textra app also works if you would want to try that before resetting.

Thanks, but already did the FDR, wasn't to bad, just time consuming. FDR does fix the problem though.

Do you realize that the text issue is completely unrelated to any "modification". This phone was "borked" by a VZ-pushed OTA. I had to do a factory reset last night, lost my corporate e-mail set up through Touchdown. I also missed communications previously, while I was unaware of the texting issue. Those texts are just "gone" now. This is very poor form on the part of VZ, not even checking that texting will continue to work after users upgrade.

I wasn't implying you goofed up your phone, just following up on AddictedtoGlass's comments, sorry if it came across that I was.
Yeah, this update does seem to be causing more grief than usual. That may be keeping with the comments I stumbled across in Verizon's forums claiming that the code sent to Verizon by Sony wasn't "up to snuff" in Verizon's opinion and that is why Verizon sit on the update so long. Looks like they should have sit on it a little bit longer. I'm on 5.0.2 and my phone is pretty stable so I'm content to stay there until this is all straightened out, if ever.
I have been trying to find more info on Verizon's community forums but they have managed to make their forums so hard to navigate now that finding particular threads is almost impossible. I guess that is one way of controlling the flood of complaints.
