Okay so I disabled iMessage on my iPhone before my M8 was even active, its been over a week now and I have turned off iMessage on literally all of my apple products and for some reason I still can't receive some texts from certain iPhone users. One day it'll work fine and then the next day I don't receive them. This is also happening with some group messages too. My brother who is an iPhone user could group text with my friends and I fine the other day, and all of a sudden today I can't receive any of his messages anymore. I've already spoke with Apple and had them manually deregister my phone # from iMessage and apparently that doesn't seem to be working fully either. Does anyone else have this same problem or something similar and if so how did you go about fixing it? Incredibly annoying. Never had this issue on my AT&T branded M7 with or without the AT&T stock ROM.
This is completely unrelated to your phone. This is all apples issue with imessage. The phone number doesn't deregister properly from Apple. Therefore some people iPhones still think you have one yourself. Don't blame your m8 blame crapple!

I had the same problem with imessage after switching to Android. The issue was resolved through Apple after many days of problems. It is a known issue with Apple servers.

Same problem here. I called Apple and they said my number is not registered anymore and yet I still don't receive any texts from anyone with an iPhone. For sure on Apple's end.

My buddy had the exact same problem today.
He said he turned off iMessage in his phone before he deactivated his iPhone.
He also sent a text to 48369 with the word STOP (An alleged fix from Apple) and that didn't work either.
He called the 1-800 MY APPLE number and had them remove his phone number from the iMessage system and it started to work 30 minutes later.

Like for example, I texted my girlfriend hi this morning, and I never got a text from her back until I sent another text, like it just refreshed in checking the sms servers, because she even told me she texted me back hours ago.
Why does this happen?
I have this problem all the time, and I had it on my EnV2. I'm guessing it's a Verizon network thing.
This is most likely a network issue, not a device issue. This or similar has happened to me plenty on various devices and multiple carriers.

I've been using gvoice thru Sprint primarily since they teamed up and lately I've been having an issue. I'm not receiving all my texts from my partner for sometimes days after he sent them. Texts are basically received when he sends them or not received by gvoice for hours or days later. I've only recently noticed this with his texts and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

Ive been useing it since the start as well. have not had this issue or any other issues. How ever before gvoice thing i would never receive any text messages from one of my friends ever (6+ months), but was fixed when i switched to gvoice.. So maybe something similar but i dont know what it is.
sidenote: he is on t-mobile . but i dunno if that matters cause my entire famliy is on t-mobile as well and i got all there messages.
Hopefully u find your answer its annoying
Yeah I've enjoyed the sprint+gvoice experience until now. It's really odd. For now I've switched to talking to my partner via gtalk. I've filed a report with the gvoice help site. I'm debating calling Sprint but I'm unaware if it's a Sprint related issue or a gvoice issue BC it's not like gvoice isn't notifying me of the incoming texts, it's just not receiving random texts from my partner for days.

its worth a shot but i bet they have rather limited google voice knowledge. Maybe for last resort go into settings of ur google voice and revert back to sprint and see if it comes through. Ive never done this so i dont know if you can revert right back to google voice or not , I dont see why not though.
I had to spend 1/2 hour on phone with tech support due to Google voice "taking over my phone". It wouldn't allow me to call without it or disable it. I don't think my situation is relevant but perhaps Sprint can help on their end.

I hate gvoice... It completely screwed call and text receipt on my wife's EVO. The only way to get rid of it is to go to the Google voice website and remove your phone from the account. Once we did that all was well.
Just posting in case anyone has or had the same GVoice issues that I have.
I disabled GV via desktop GV settings and reverted back to my original GV #. I then re-enabled the Sprint+GV integration and so far I have received all of the texts that have been sent to me just like I should. *EDIT* Problem still exists. I'm ****ed.
My friend just got the Note 4 coming from the iPhone 5 and cannot receive texts from other iPhone users. She says it's something to do with imessage. She's not a techie and I don't know anything about apple.
Can anybody shed some light on this? What's going on and how can she resolve it. Thanks.

Yeah its a known issue with switching from iphone ? to android Tech support should be able to help her they have to deactivate the imessage account all together

Thanks I will have her try that. :good:
Apple released a new app that fixes this problem.
Just follow this link. They need to deregister their number with iMessage. https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage
Verizon N4 : Thank me if I helped ya
Just another reason I hate Apple. Took me a full day of deactivating, deleting accounts, opening new accounts, etc before I was able to get texts from my daughters with their iphones when I tried the 5S. What a pina!!!!
Basically imessage hijacks your number and they don't care if you go back to android, not their problem. Only took years for them to evidently come up with a fix.

The issue is easy fix person with iPhone needs to go into setting and shut off imessage. As I phones have two methods of sending text. Message or imessage if you notice on the iPhone bubbles can be two different colors from sender.
Aplple just won't let me go. I recently switched back to Android (Should have never left!!!) and I'm still not recieving messages from iphones. This is mainly in the group messages. It's weird, because sometimes I do and other times I don't. The main problem seems to be getting pictures or links, but regular texts is a hit or miss. Again, this seems to be an issue in group messages, but I guess I wouldn't know If I am not getting some messages unless the person called me out for not responding. Yes, I have done the whole Apple website BS and had my phone # removed. Even when I did that it said that the number isn't registered with imessage. Anyone have any idea or suggestion? Thanks! Even with this issue I will not go back to Apple.
Do you still have the iphone ?

No the iPhone is long gone. I did everything that needed to be done before turning it in...
Ok ? I don't know then sorry usually you have to turn imessages off before you switch but you said you did that ..I hope ? you get it fixed
I'm having the same problem. Some texts I receive and some I dont. My wife has an iphone and thinks I'm ignoring her. ... OK sometimes I am but it is a real problem.
I tried using Verizon's Messages + instead of Chomp . That did not fix the problem.
Dont know what to do next.

I overheard a similar problem while browsing at a vzw store and they said they had to call Apple and tell them to disable ur imessage service. I've never really used apple products for the last 20 years but hope it helps.
Go here and fix the issue
https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage
So I have an annoying one...stock everything but every once in a while (lets claims after an update but that could just be when I notice it) I stop reliably getting texts from my Apple friends. All other android/other texts come in fine and the apple users get my messages but I don't get theirs. I remember iMessage had a header on it at one point or something but I have no idea if that is still a thing.
Anyone else seem to have this issue? Both users in question are also on Verizon but other friends on Verizon not using iMessage have no issues texting me.
