How To Fix iMessage Activation Issues on iOS 7

Posted by Unknown Rabu, 02 Oktober 2013 0 komentar

Day in day out, people use Apple's iMessage service to get in touch and sending of messages. It becomes very easy to totally rely on this means of communication if all friends are iPhone users. consequently it can become very frustrating and alarming if one can't get messages sent through iMessage as its the case lately after iOS 7 upgrade.

This problem is due to Apple servers having a hard time activation the iMessage service on troubled devices. To fix this, the following workaround have been offered.

1. Go to Settings/Messages and then check if the phone number and Apple ID mail address displayed is actually the right one.

2. Sign out of the Apple ID and then sign in back or sign in with a totally different Apple ID if you have another one.

3. Now, once you are signed in, toggle iMessage OFF and then a few seconds and then toggle ON again.

4. If this still fails to solve the iMessage issue, go to Settings/General/Reset and tap on "Reset Network Settings". This will reset all network settings including WiFi passwords etc. reboot and check if iMessage is fixed

5. The final resort if all this fails is to reload the iOS firmware again. Backup device, remove any existing backups of any other Apple device that has been backed up on the computer or use a fresh computer. This is to avoid conflict when restoring backups as iTunes tends to mix up numbers of existing backups.

Reload iOS and then setup your iMessage. Make sure SIM card is present in the device when restoring from backup.

According to Apple, they are aware of the issue and working tirelessly to bring a fix in the near future.

Let us know if the above tips helped or what you did right and different that worked.

Apple's iMessage App For Android Surfaces On Play Store

Posted by Unknown Selasa, 24 September 2013 0 komentar

Apple's iMessage messaging service just got spotted on Google Play Store and its available for download for Android devices.

Like the name suggest, it allows you to send iMessages to not only Apple devices but also to other Android users that have the app installed.

This is actually surprising seeing that the app had been in the store since September 12th according to the information on Google Play Store. Not only that, there are reviews being written which suggests that the app is performing as intended.

Jay Freeman, creator of Cydia, a popular Hacker and Developer on the iOS platform has this to say

"as far as I can tell the way it works is that the client does directly connect to Apple, but the data is all processed on the developer's server in China. This not only means that Apple can't just block them by IP address, but also that they get to keep the "secret sauce" on their servers (and potentially just run Apple code: there are some parts of the process in Apple's client code that is highly obfuscated).

Every packet from Apple is forwarded to 222.77.191.206, which then sends back exactly what data to send to Apple (along with extra packets that I presume tell the client what's happening so it can update its UI). Likewise, if the client wants to send a message, it first talks to the third-party server, which returns what needs to be sent to Apple. The data is re-encrypted as part of this process, but its size is deterministically unaffected"

For now, some iPhone users are pissed and are wondering if there would be any law suit from Apple to the developer of the said app for using not only the name "iMessage" but the logo or to Google for permitting such app in the Play Store.
