iOS 7.0.3 upgrade killed Facetime, iMessage and Push Notifications

Facetime, iMessage and Push Notifications were working fine on my iPhone 4.

Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 Facetime and iMessages cannot be activated because of 'Network error' and every app that supports 'Push Notifications' suggest to 'Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications' at start.


Already tried to 'Reset as new phone' and restore from iCloud without any luck.


Suggestions ?

iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.3

Hunter Guererro's solution posted on October 24 worked for me:

Sign out of Appstore

Power down

Switch on

Sign in to Appstore

I have a iPhone 4 and i do the next, maybe can help


Go to settings>itunes store & appstore>logout from the account

Turn off and turn on the idevice

Again, go to settings>itunes store & appstore>login


It works without a restoration.

Hello All,

This issue is because of Facetime!

I am guessing its the latest fix but I could be wrong. Either way here is how you fix it.

1. Go to Settings -> Facetime

2. Turn on facetime (if its off). It will say waiting on activation and it could take a couple of minutes so be patient.

3. Once activated all your phone number and email addresses information will show up below. At this point your problem is solved.

4. If Facetime was originally on but you dont see any of your information below (which is the exact issue your having), turn it off, restart your phone (turn it off and back on), Then follow step 1, 2 and 3 again.


Hope that helps!

This worked for me:


Situation:

iOS 7.03

iPhone 4


After upgrade to iOS 7.03, iMessage, Facetime and push notifications stopped working. iMessage and Facetime displayed the "waiting for activation" message but never activated.


The fix:


1. iMessage and Facetime turned on

2. turn off wifi

3. turm off iphone

4. turn on iphone

5. turn on iMessage

6. wait a few seconds and you will be prompted for icloud userid amd password - enter your credentials

7. wait a couple of minutes and iMessage and Facetime will be activated and you are back in iBusiness.


Hope it works for someone eles!
