iOS 7.0.2 iMessage problems

So iVisited the apple store, and their take was try to reset (to the factory setting), setup up as a new device and reload all the content...and that may solve the issue. But if it doesn't, then they'll try to swtich the hardware, although we both agreed that it more likely a software problem.

I just rebooted miPhone keeping imessages ON, and it worked

Same issue on all 6 iPhones. The 5, the 4S, and the 4.

Message/iMessage gets "stuck" sending messages (1 of 9 sent).

Message/iMessage does not receive messages.

I highly doubt this is a hardware issue.

This began pre and post iOS 7.0.2 update.

The issue appears to be isolated to iPhones - none of our 5 iPads are impacted.

Tried so far:

Force quit Messages = fails to resolve.

Soft Reset (power cycle) = temporarily resolves.

Force quit all apps + Soft Reset = temporarily resolves.

Full Restore/Reset = temporarily resolves.

Full Restore/Reset + setup as new = temporarily resolves.

Dear Apple - lets isolate the issue, admit to the defect, and clean it up with a patch in iOS 7.0.3 ASAP.

Following up on my last post, I would just like to confirm the solution that it is going around: RESETING NETWORK SETTINGS fixes the issue, however after I did this I found that some of my texts were missing from a conversation. I then fixed this through a hard reset. This was yesterday morning and I haven't had anymore issues since then. Hopefully it was a one time deal.

I tried soft reset with no luck. Also network settings reset, and no luck either.

I had to reset all settings not just the network settings. No data was lost. My iMessage and FaceTime would not connect to the network.

So happy to have it working again!

Also having the issue, I had a breif moment of it being fixed, this is how I did it,

Find the same person your having issue with and send them an imessage to there apple account email adress, then go back to the number messages and you should be able to fix it, or just stay messaging via email acount.

APPLE PLEASE RELEASE A FIX!!!!!!!!!

iOS 7.0.3 will drop next week. Should fix problem...

go to reset, erase all content and settings an set up the phone and activate imessage and facetime through th setup assistant, works 99.9% of the time

i have the same problem and it just stratded today. i have read some of the issues online and i have restarted my network setting and that seamed to work with the imessage a litte while and then my phone sends me a text saying the messages have failed but not all of them so im still trying to figure this out and it *****.

I am also have the same problem it's so annoying. I am using all my free texts now will Apple pay my bill if I go over!

yes here too... someone posted a link that there will be a fix next week. I hate rebooting daily! PITA!

Has this been confirmed by Apple, or is this speculation? More details please.

I was wondering that too because It doesnt say that on this link. Just that there will be an update next week. I did however send a report via their feedback.
