What's up with the phantom messages on my iPhone?
I recently bought an iPhone 4S and upgraded to the iOS 6 software and ever since I've been getting random tri-tone alert sounds and no notifications. No messages, no emails, no nothing. I've checked everything. I have the double alert thing off, where it only sounds once when I receive a message so it can't be that. I've googled it and the only thing I've found is it could be the google mail or eBay apps, but I have neither of those apps installed, nor downloaded. Is anyone else Having this problem? Someone please help its getting on my nerves!
Go to phone shop
All apps closed? Make sure you aren't running some strange app, press home twice to see the app list then make sure they are all closed out.
- Why do iPhone messages come up as picture messages on other phones? When my friend sends me texts, she has an iphone, they come up as picture messages and i can't revieve them on my phone because my plan doesn't cover picture messages. Can she change the settings so it won't come up as a picture?
- When I receive text messages with emojis from an iPhone, why do the messages only appear partially? My phone is a "Verizon Samsung Intensity II" slide phone. (Also it's blue but that doesn't matter.) Also, if I'm included in an iPhone group chat (spoiled rich friends, but not snobby…), I get each posted message as a separate message, so I'll end up randomly with 67 unread messages clogging up my inbox.
- Read messages on my iPhone sometimes show up as unread messages on my Mac? - 1 I'm talking about email messages. I have my accounts hooked up to iCloud, so if I read an email on my iPhone or Mac, it should count it as read on the other device. It has worked, but sometimes it doesn't. What can/should I do?
- Phantom IPhone Messages Notifications? My messages app shows 2 unread messages in the red circle on the app icon. I have no unread messages. I've restarted the app and the phone. No luck getting rid of it.
