I recently got my Iphone 5 and i know my friends i have an iphone with I message and its not working? It always shows green text not blue it never changes? What could be the ussue here? Also Does LTE drain your battery a lot?

This has been an issue in iOS 6. It takes a while to recognize the other person
on iMessage. The good news is that it has no longer been an issue for me as
I haven't had this problem anymore on iOS 6.1 beta 1

I'm on 6.1...? I don't understand the issue? Also does LTE waste alot of battery?

Does it say waiting for activation ? Try turning off then on ..
LTE will use more battery then being on wifi

No doesn't say that.

The issue that you're reporting of your phone not recognizing other iMessage users.

It's an iOS 6 issue. People have reported it on here, including myself.
It takes a while during the conversation for the phones to recognize
each other. It is an issue. Now that I'm on 6.1 beta, this issue is resolved
for me. If you claim you're on 6.1 and still have the issue, I don't know what
to tell you.

Ok.. I have tried to turn off I message and back, didn't work. I turned my phone off and back on nothing worked.. Hmm I don't know

 

[Peligro911]

Does the other person have atleast iOS 5 ? If not maybe they don't have iMessage

Ya they do. In not sure. But I tired most of my contacts all said text I find that hard to believe no one is using I message..

Try a restore and set up as new ?

Do I back it up first? Set as new iPhone and then set from back up?

I would try back up then restore set up as a new phone if issue is fixed then restore the backup see if issue comes back if not then your good to go

Ok or should I wait and see if something changes? Also I unplugged my iPhone off the charger At 11am I used it medium use today I would think.. It's 9:30pm now and my battery is 7% now.. Is that good?
