iMessage problem on verizon iPhone 4

[climber20]

Installed iOS 5 gold master on both my verizon iPhone 4 and iPad 1 (wifi only). iMessage works like a charm on the iPad, but on the iPhone, messages will show up, but there's no badge on the icon and there's no notification sound indicating I have a new message. If I open up the green messages icon, then the message is there.

I went through settings and double checked everything to make sure sounds and notifications are on. Regular text messages receive fine, it's just the iMessages that don't trigger any sort of notification. Anyone else with a verizon iphone 4 having this problem?

Kinda makes you wished for the official download huh

Figured out the problem. I was messaging myself from iPad to iPhone using the same apple ID and email address. I set up a second apple ID - a dummy account basically - for the iPad and kept the original on the iPhone, and everything works perfectly now. So apparently if you try to imessage yourself on a different device and both devices have the same apple ID, the notification system must have some kind of bug where it doesn't register on certain devices.

It's probably not a bug... it just knows that you already read it... because you wrote it. So there's nothing "new" to display a badge for.

Bug? I think they assume if you message yourself you should know it... aside from having a split personality of course...

Are you one of those people that talk to themselves on the subway/bus? Or one of those people that pretend to talk to someone on the phone when in fact they're just talking to nothing?

Glad you found the problem.
