Lost messages on Samsung after switching from iPhone to Samsung? Here's how to turn off iMessage and fix it!

Thanks to an ongoing issue with the way Apple built its iMessage platform, users who switch away from an iPhone to an Android phone or any other cell phone are faced with a huge problem: once they bail on the iPhone, they often can’t receive text messages from contacts who are still using iPhones. This is because Apple’s system still sees them as iMessage users, and it tries to deliver messages sent using Apple’s Messages app as iMessages. To make matters even worse, the iPhone users who send those messages see their status as “delivered” even though they are not being received.

Thankfully, there are ways to avoid this annoying bug if you’re planning to make the switch from iOS to another platform.

How to recover lost SMS from iPhone

If you've succumbed to the temptations of Android — or even Windows Phone or BlackBerry — there are some steps you need to take to make sure the iPhone friends you leave behind can still reach you. iMessage works by routing iPhone to iPhone messages through Apple's servers instead of sending them as actual text messages. Unfortunately, unless you tell it to stop doing this, iMessage has no way of knowing you've left, at least until it times out after a couple weeks, and that's beyond frustrating. Luckily, deactivating it is easy. Here's how!

How to deactivate iMessage and before switching from iPhone to Android Samsung, BlackBerry, or Windows Phone

Easy steps from your iPhone before starting to use your new smartphone:

1.Launch Settings from the Home screen of your iPhone.
2.Scroll down and tap on Messages.
3.At the top, turn iMessage to Off.
4.Now hop into the Messages app and send some messages to people you know have iPhones to make sure they can message you back. You want green messages bubbles for everything.

That's all there is to it. Once you've done this, iMessage should hopefully deactivate from Apple's servers and you shouldn't have any issues, nor should you have to go any further into this guide. As a side note, the sooner you do this, the better off you are. If you know you're going out to purchase an Android, BlackBerry, or Windows Phone in 3 days, do this process right now. That way you have turned off iMessage and it gives the servers a few days to actually process the request completely and boot you off.

How to trun off iMessages on iPhone before switch to a new Samsung phone?

Problem about switching iMessags from old iPhone to Samsung Galaxy:
“I had the same problem switching imessages from iphone 5 to galaxy s6. When I originally made the switch I put my old phone number on my new galaxy and switched the iphone to a new phone # so I didn't have the problem. The problem occurred when I switched back to my iphone and then switched again to the galaxy. Confusing, I know! Anyhoo, I think the problem is when the phone number is attached to the sim card! After I reswitched back to my galaxy, my phone # was still embedded on my iphone 5 and I could not uncheck it. I have several lines so I changed my iphone to an unused # and it solved the problem. And I dont want to be charged the data fee so I just switched the line back to a basic phone. But switching my iphone to a different number, even for a min, seems to solve the problem. That leaves me to believe it is because the phone number i am using is attached to the sim card. I only thought of this today and did not try removing the sim card? That may work too. Hope this helps some of you. I know its a little confusing. Bottom line, I like switching between the 2 phones on my main phone number, but I need to unattach my main phone number from my sim card to free it up from sending imessages to my phone number on my iphone.”--Ask by kerryfromperrysburg in discussions.apple.com

Get back lost data from Android phones or tablets(if you are NOT ROOTED)

If you don't know what this means, you are most likely not rooted

Once you've checked the obvious – such as looking in the Trash of your photos app, which stores files you've deleted from your gallery until it's emptied – the next step is to connect your phone to a PC and run a file recovery app. However, there's one little problem with that: post-Ice Cream Sandwich versions of Android ditched the Mass Storage Protocol that made your internal storage look like a flash drive, so many tried and tested recovery methods won't work any more. Don't worry, though, because we've got a solution to that too.

If the file(s) you're looking for were on your memory card, you can use a Micro SD Card Adapter to attach your microSD via USB. Then download Android Data Recovery (you can use either the paid or free version), which is a program to recover files. You can also use other programs, such as Dr. Fone (which requires root but is available for Mac or PC), but Android Data Recovery is a great free tool.

Download the Android Data Recovery:

  

Watching your lost files reappear is as close to pure joy as is humanly possible.
Note: Normally, for most of these programs to work, your memory must be formatted as FAT32, NTFS or similar. If your memory card format is not recognized for some reason, you can just do a complete copy of its contents to your computer, reformat the memory card as FAT32 and then dump the copied files back on it and continue the process.

When you run Android Data Recovery, the first thing to do is select the type of file you want to recover: Pictures, Videos, Music, Documents, etc. The option to restore from a specific location is available and you can even set a specific folder to attempt recovery from. Note that Android Data Recovery will only display locations it can actually recover data from. Just follow the prompts in the program.

Recover Lost Data From Android phone After Rooting

Android Data Recovery will let you search for specific file types that you may have deleted.
Important: When you finish recovering your deleted files, try to save them on a different device to the one on which they were originally lost: this can sometimes cause conflicts and hinder recovery. So if you are recovering files from your smartphone, record them on the hard disk of the PC and then transfer them over later, once they're safe and sound.

If the file(s) were on your internal storage, don't worry: we can fix that too.

Once you've done that, go into Settings > Developer Options and enable USB debugging. You should now be able to use an app such as Dr Fone Android Data Recovery to scan your device.

Tips: If you use iOS device,like iPhone 6s, iPhone 6, iPhone 5s/5, iPhone 4s/4, iPad Por, iPad Air, iPad mini, iPad 4/3/2 or iPod Touch,once deleted data on your ios devices,you can use Dr.Fone iOS Data Recovery to recover lost data from iPhone, iPad and iPod directly.

The application is very simple. The first thing to do is to select the storage device from which you want to retrieve your data (can be internal or external memory).
Then you scan the selected device.
The process may take between two and 10 minutes, depending on your memory size and the amount of stored data.

Hot Samsung Galaxy smart phone:
Galaxy has launched new phones in the series with better designs and updated features. Galaxy S, Galaxy Note and Galaxy A are new sub-series introduces with in the Galaxy series. Here are the top 5 hottest Samsung smartphone in Galaxy series:

1.Samsung Galaxy S6
You'll get everything the Galaxy S6 has to offer—the 5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED® display, the slim and lightweight all-metal body, the 16-megapixel camera, and more—all for less than you thought possible. The upscale Samsung Galaxy S6's smooth glass-and-matte-metal body, improved fingerprint reader, and convenient new camera shortcut key make the phone a stunner. Samsung's decluttered take on Android 5.0 brings the beauty inside, too.

2.Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
Samsung nailed it with the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. These are Samsung's finest and best-looking smartphones to date and if Android is your mobile cup of tea, they are the handsets to beat.The Galaxy S6 edge also comes in its own exclusive color, a deep green that covers the front and back of the phone. It joins the standard black, white and gold colors that are also available on the Galaxy S6.

3.Samsung Galaxy S5
Samsung Galaxy S5 also running Android 4.4.2 out of the box, with 16 or 32GB of internal storage, SDXC external storage, and sports a 16-megapixel camera with a new flash technology. The battery is 2,800 mAh.Stunning. Innovative. Simply inspired. The Samsung Galaxy S® 5 is technology that truly impacts your life. Make split-second moments yours. Watch HD movies and games roar to life. Track your life right down to your heartbeat. Powered with innovation, the Galaxy S® 5 is like no other mobile device before it.

4.Galaxy Note 5 Review
As you can see, there is nothing missing from the Galaxy Note 5. Actually, Samsung leads with the fastest available RAM, fastest internal storage, new fast wireless charging technology, and magnetic secure transmission (MST) wireless payment technology. Combined with the other leading specifications, there is nothing else out there that beats the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.

5. Samsung Galaxy A8 Review
The Galaxy A8 is the biggest of the A series with a 5.7" Super AMOLED screen like the last three Notes. It only has a 1080p resolution though, like the Note 3, so it's not as superbly crisp as the Note5 but not bad either at 386ppi (close to the iPhone 6 Plus 5.5" 1080p display).

Like the Galaxy Note5, the A8 has a metal frame, but it's lighter and thinner. At only 5.9mm thick it limbos lower than any other Galaxy yet and even most other phones on the market. Surprisingly, this didn't come at the expense of battery capacity - the Galaxy A8 actually tops the Note5 in this category.

The good news keeps rolling in when we get to the camera too. A 16MP shooter adorns the back with an f/1.9 aperture (sound familiar?). For selfies there's a 5MP f/1.9 camera. What's missing compared to the Note5's camera is OIS and 2160p video capture.
