Okay so I disabled iMessage on my iPhone before my M8 was even active, its been over a week now and I have turned off iMessage on literally all of my apple products and for some reason I still can't receive some texts from certain iPhone users. One day it'll work fine and then the next day I don't receive them. This is also happening with some group messages too. My brother who is an iPhone user could group text with my friends and I fine the other day, and all of a sudden today I can't receive any of his messages anymore. I've already spoke with Apple and had them manually deregister my phone # from iMessage and apparently that doesn't seem to be working fully either. Does anyone else have this same problem or something similar and if so how did you go about fixing it? Incredibly annoying. Never had this issue on my AT&T branded M7 with or without the AT&T stock ROM.

This is completely unrelated to your phone. This is all apples issue with imessage. The phone number doesn't deregister properly from Apple. Therefore some people iPhones still think you have one yourself. Don't blame your m8 blame crapple!

I had the same problem with imessage after switching to Android. The issue was resolved through Apple after many days of problems. It is a known issue with Apple servers.

Same problem here. I called Apple and they said my number is not registered anymore and yet I still don't receive any texts from anyone with an iPhone. For sure on Apple's end.

My buddy had the exact same problem today.
He said he turned off iMessage in his phone before he deactivated his iPhone.

He also sent a text to 48369 with the word STOP (An alleged fix from Apple) and that didn't work either.

He called the 1-800 MY APPLE number and had them remove his phone number from the iMessage system and it started to work 30 minutes later.
