Help from iphone to s3, a few minor questions

[Randy Lahey]

just picked up my s3 and i have a few questions.

Many of my friends including my wife all have iphones and when a picture message is sent from them, my android will receive literally 20 minutes later. Any fix to this? Also a minor question I have, any chance my messages can turn blue (imessage) to iphone users instead of green?

Well your delayed message I dunno I think it's an android issue I had problems with not receiving texts too. I have tried to leave apple twice and both android phones had similar issues. I went back to iPhone, I have no tolerance for things not working right. As far as iMessage is concerned, no you can't get that blue. I'm pretty sure it has to be from an iPhone.

This is likely because you did not turn iMessage off on your iPhone before switching. People who have iPhones devices still try to send to you via iMessage and do not text it for a while after iMessage has failed and it sends via mms. You can remove your number from the iMessage servers via a web page I believe although I turned my iMessage off before switching to the GS3 for this reason. It's not your GS3's fault, it's Apple's for making it difficult to turn iMessage off when switching devices.

my wife still uses an iPhone 4s (was my old phone) and I have the siii
and no problems at all.

so it must be like UserName872 said, do as he instructed.

Oh one more thing iDont miss my iphone at all !!!!! not one thing I miss on it.
