Untethered Jailbreak 5.0.1 iMessage send Pics don't work.

This method worked for me the other day but eventually stopped. I simply removed most of my Cydia apps and followed the instructions and voila it worked.

Yesterday I tried to send a photo and it was never received. Incoming FaceTime video freezes again too. Removed pretty much every Cydia package followed the instructions and it won't work again. Spent hours messing with it and still no good.

I've done everything shy of restoring the whole phone. Toggled FaceTime iMessage a bunch, restarted, reset settings to factory. Nothing works now. I have no issue using SMS but it bugs the crap out of me that it doesn't work.

Anyring isn't the onlyproblem

I had the same issue but never installed Anyring. After learning through this forum that the FaceTime bug was also related to iMessage I systematically uninstalled any apps I had from Cydia that were related to either phone or message tweaks. It turned out Copic was the culprit for me. I removed it and everything went back to working properly. I've emailed the dev to inform him of this issue. Hopefully these apps will be fixed. It doesn't seem to be an issue with the jailbreak, as similar apps still work.

i had uninstalled Copic as well but did nothing, im on my second restore ,i just jailbroke but i aint installing nothing
maybe once copic installed it corruped some files and uninstalling it does nothing, i am going to avoid copic this restore and report back, i jailbroke the day it was released for the 4s and one of my first tweaks was copic but it was working fine till thursday when i noticed my friends werent receiving anything.. we need to get this issue trending on twitter or something. :)

I sat for a few hours in front of the tv uninstalling things one by one, turning off FT and iM and rebooting and re-activating them. Maybe I did something wrong but I'll try it again, I do have copic so hopefully that fixes it.

Thanks!
 
Did you follow the instructions?

For those of you who have removed Copic but still have issues: Did you do what the original post said? Turn off iMessage, reboot, turn iMessage back on, wait for it to Activate. That seems to be a must.

You may have another offending app. The original post had no clue Copic did it too. I have no clue that Anyring and Copic are the only two to cause these issues. Do what I did originally and check any app that tweaks Messages or the Phone app. We need to get a list of these going so all of the devs can be contacted and other users can avoid restoring their phones over and over.
 
Yeah. I'm assuming that. Only problem is that I don't want to go without SBSettings and iFile and that's about all I really have installed anymore.

I have both of those and can confirm they are not the issue. That is assuming iFile is the legit one and not a crack.
 
I just wanted to post here to explain my situation if only for the sake of others in my situation being able to more easily find this thread with Google.

I have an iPhone 4 running 5.0.1 jailbroken using the latest redsn0w. I install my normal handful of jailbreak tweaks, and over time I discovered that when answering Facetime calls, the screen would freeze until the caller hung up. I couldn't escape the locked up screen at all, using the home button or power button. I could still "make" Facetime calls without trouble.

I never had any issues with iMessage.

Upon discovering the Facetime issue, my first thought was to remove Facetime-related tweaks on my phone. I had edited the plist to enable native 3G Facetime, so first I tried putting that back, but it didn't help. I installed My3G (which I bought before the 3Gvenice was discovered), same thing, no help. I tried removing any wifi-related tweaks I had installed (wicarrier, namely). No help. I removed an app I was using to download ringtones (not anyring), nothing.

Finally, I find this thread and realize it's COPIC. Deleted that app, rebooted, disabled facetime and imessage, rebooted, and enabled imessage and facetime and voila, facetime works fine. I even enabled 3Gvenice again and I have working Facetime on 3G.

Funny thing is, I only purchased and installed copic to begin with because cyntact (which I had purchased long before) had not been updated for iOS5. It has since been updated, and doesn't cause Facetime problems like Copic.

So yeah, if your Facetime freezes or hangs when answering calls on jailbroken iOS5 or 5.0.1, first thing should be to check if you have anyring or copic. If you do, remove them, disable facetime and imessage, reboot, and enable again.
 
So iMessage never gets past the "waiting to activate" part for me. I did a full reset to factory settings and believe it or not I can FaceTime both in and out and iMessage both in and out, but still can't send a photo via iMessage, I get the Not Delivered message still.

iMessage I don't think is ever fully activating.

Under Messages > Receive At my phone number is greyed out, is this normal?
 
well it seems to be Copic cause my daughters 3gs running 5.0.1 wasnt sending photos either, so what i did was uninstalle it, turn imessage off, hard rebooted it holding home and power button, turn imessage back on and voila, photos started sending again, so dont know if thats it but it worked for my daughters phone and a friend running an iphone 4 5.0.1 as well, hope they can get it back up since its one of my fav tweaks,
thanks for the support and input on this matter guys
 
LOL

It was my wife's (not jailbroken) phone that was the problem. Only wasted 6 hours on this and lost a few hours of sleep.
 
iMessage with Pics Not Working

Same issue here, but I can't seem to figure out which of my installed/paid for Cydia apps are causing iMessage to not send pictures. Can anyone let me know if any of the following are known to cause this issue:

ACUtil
AnyAttach
AppSync
Autocorrection Bar
BigBoss Icon Set
Delete Word
Installous
IntelliID
IntelliScrenX
iSHSHit
Mail Enhancer
Mobile Substrate
Pull To Refresh for Mail
Stockify
Update Hider for iOS 5
VoiceUtils

Any help would be much appreciated! I love all these apps, so I'm hoping someone finds another fix without me having to remove any of these!
 
I'd look at Mail Enhancer and Intelliscreen as they both let you change tones. But they may work just fine. You'll have to check.
 
Having this same issue without success in fixing it so far. I removed Copic and started to get some iMessage picture functionality back but it only works sporadically. Trying to avoid uninstalling all of my apps to rectify the issue, anyone else noticed an app that could be causing it?
 
Here's what I have installed in case anyone wants to take a stab at what I should try uninstalling first :(

Activator
AdBlocker
Custom NC Background
Custom Siri Background
IntelliScreenX (already attempted to remove this one, no change)
MobileVolumeSound
OpenSSH
QuickTweet
Safari Upload Enabler
SBSettings
ScrollingBoard
SliderPro
SpringFlash
Springtomize 2
Weather Icon
3G Unrestrictor (also attempted to remove, no change)
 
Copic was the culprit for me. It worked for awhile but then yesterday I noticed people werent responding to them.

Uninstalled it, turned off imessages and mms. rebooted and reenabled and it worked again.


Thanks to this thread! :cool:
 
That worked for less than 24hrs! now it's not sending anymore.. MMS as a text still works however.
 
Found the solution

I signed up just to tell you guys. This was pissing me off. Just reset your network settings and all will be good again. No need to remove any applications.

-Settings
-General
-Reset
-Reset Network Settings

I hope this helps.

Didn't work for me :(


This is odd.

I have 3 friends with iPhone 4s. One of them I can send a MMS through imessage sucessfully. The other two I cannot. Both VZW. None are JB.

my brother, dad, gf have iphone 4 jb. I can send imessage MMS to them successfully. GF is ATT and family is on VZW.


I'm stumped. haha.


edit2: I had one of the 4s guys reboot their phone and voila. i can send to them again. :puzzled:
