iMessage bug?

[iHolophyte]

Well I guess that it must be done the hard way... But if it goes back to normal it would be great
I have 2 more hours till 10p.m. here so I won't lose any time. Let's restore!

Good luck 😄

Hasn't he already tried that. From the posts above? Or does it make a difference where you sign out and in from?

Btw I did that both ways...
I got my phone back from the "Apple guys"... BUT all they told me is: "If you want we can give you an iPhone 4! But it will cost you half of a new one."... They couldn't fix anything! YouTube not working, iMessage not working, FaceTime not working... Isn't it strange that they can't fix it?

I will wait for the iPhone 5 for now
It's like half year till it comes out but everyone thinks I'm very patient... Not so true but I will wait for it!

I just wanted to tell you that nothing worked... Anyway, THANK YOU FOR TRYING iHolophyte!!! Thank you very much!

If I missed it I apologize, but have you told us what phone you have? If it's a 3G, I think iIOS5 has major bugs on it, in fact I don't think it's supported. I wonder if that's your issue? I know this is the iPhone 4 forum, but you mention that they said they'd give you an iPhone 4 as if it would be a new item to you.

It is an iPhone 4! They said they can give me the same model for 50% of its real price. But I don't need iPhone 4. I prefer waiting for the iPhone 5. I hope it will be out the same time as usual.

Have you finished your factory restore yet?

My daughter had this problem and this fixed it for her.
"Finally have the problem resolved. She did a restore. We went to the Mall today and while my wife was shopping I went in to the Apple
Store. I spoke with a young lady who seemed very knowledgeable and explained the problem. She said re-seating the sim card would do nothing and that the best bet is a restore. She said there were some issues with the software update and that your problem was software related. She said something about IOS 5 Versions 5.0.1 & 5.0.2 (?) having issues.
She did the restore and the phone is now operating correctly. "
