Apple Aware of iOS 7 iMessage Issue, Working on a Fix

Sporadic for me. Everyday I get hanging messages. I've tried all the measures spoken of but it always just comes back

How about the terrible battery life after upgrading to iOS7? Will there ever be a fix for that?

My iPhone 5 is now getting about 8hrs instead of the usual 10hrs I got with iOS6.:mad:

Consider yourself lucky. I used to get 8-10 hours out of my battery. Now I can barely squeeze 6 out of it and other report as little as 4.
 
Never got this issue on any of my devices or any of my families devices or any of my friends devices. Strange.
 
In general iMessage is a disaster. I have 2 iOS devices and an iMac. Messages never sync correctly on all devices. If i'm having a conversation on my iMac then i don't see it on my iOs devices, but then suddely out of the blue next day or few hours later this flood of messages on my other devices starts.

In my experience it's just bad.
 
A fraction of a percent...

...could be 5000/100 percent. Or about half. Which would match up with my small sample size of around 6 users. My wife had the problem today and wondered why I didn't get any of her 5 texts.
 
There was a problem with some people in Australia, including me, not being able to activate their mobile phone number for Facetime or iMessage. It was reported in a local discussion group that the problem was due to a local carrier. According to the report, the validation SMS for the carrier's customers was being handled by the carrier rather than the normal way. Three days after iOS7 came out and my activation finally succeeded. After that activation has taken only a few seconds.

Here is a forum post with some details: http://whrl.pl/RdIJGB Note that the suggested remedies didn't work for me.

iMessage on iOS devices are okay. It's the Mac version which is buggy as hell which never gets the message sequence (or even their existence) correctly.

Wow! Miles out from the Apple's stated specs.

I miss the days when good battery life was the high point of iPhones. Hopefully they step up and fix these issues soon with another update.
 
or as I like to say... Blackberry Messenger 2.0

I have had the same issue, so I must be one of the people who are affected by the iMessages application stalling in sending messages.

Turning off the phone and turning it back on fixes the problem too.

I've always had issues syncing iMessages between OSX and iOS. Now with iOS 7 I'm also having the issue others are.
 
I'm sorry, but saying " a fraction of a percent of our iMessage users" just sounds condensending whether it' s true or not. It gives the vibe of "a couple of hundred thousand people are not really important to us", and it's also little comfort to hear this if you happen to be in that "fraction of a percent".
 
My iMessage has gone wacky too the last few days!
I am receiving messages that are for my daughter! We're on the same icloud account,but I am sprint she is verizon.
First time this has ever happened,I even got a FaceTime for her ring on my phone:eek:
 
I sure hope there is a fix... This happened again today. 2nd time in 48 hrs.

I'm glad I held off on updating my wife's phone to iOS 7. Once this is fixed, I will update it.

Fix it, Apple!
 
FWIW, resetting network settings has worked for me every time. Only problem is that the fix only seems to work for about an hour before my iMessages stop sending and I have to send all my messages as SMS messages again. I've been using What's App lately quite a bit for messaging overseas, and wondering if that is creating a glitch in my network settings that requires a constant reset? Any of you guys have any guess on that?

It might also be a fact. If a fact is condescending then that's tough, would you rather they lied and then curse them for that? Generally speaking any company, government, parent etc etc will look at the larger problems that affect the masses first, it doesn't mean the smaller ones are unimportant.
 
I literally lost money because of this issue because one of my student's parents didn't receive my confirmation message!
Grrrr. Didn't realise until they didn't show up

A bit of a strawman argument here because I never implied that Apple's only two options were saying "this issue only affects a fraction of one percent" or lying. My issue was the way they said it. It just comes across as a bit smart ass.

Apple could of just said "a small number of our users are experiencing difficulties", and not sound condensing with the "fraction of one percent", it gives off arrogance, it sounds a bit bitter. That is the vibe I got anyway. It's just sloppy PR.
 
Seriously, don't buy the line, take it on the chin

You have to understand that if there are 100,000,000 people with iMessages and 500,000 people have the issue, thats only .5% of people experiencing it. 500,000 people is a lot of people that have the problem, but out of the total amount of users, its almost nothing.

...I love my iPhone and MacBookPro and iPad... BUT... when Apple (like any big company) bend the truth a bit, I tend to accept it as part of PR spin. It's just life. Everyone I know with an iPhone has had some problems since the upgrade. If it's a fraction of 1% I'd be very surprised.

But is it in Apple's interest to make it feel like you're in a minority and they're still looking after you? You bet.

I know which I think is more likely, and I didn't make up any statistics (unlike you or Apple...)
