BlackBerry Smartphones difference between SMS and MMS

Maybe a stupid question, but what is the difference between them? I like just text, so I use the SMS. What is MMS? I must say that I am in love with my BB Bold 9650! I had a lot of cell phones, but this is my favorite!

The only difference between SMS and MMS, it is that MMS messages have an attached data (picture, movie, another file) file.

SMS = Service of short Message

= Multimedia Messaging Service MMS

    • With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If this isn't the case, then you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

  • BlackBerry Leap difference between RHC161LW and RHD131LW)?

    Hello

    What is the difference between these two models?

    Sorry, I don't know. I have no way of knowing with absolute clarity. I can only refer you to the resources through which you can do your own research.

    In general, there is no other difference in the Submodule of peripheral BB10. As a general rule, only radio technologies/frequencies are the differences between the submodels, with all other components remaining unchanged. The main difference is the material of the antenna (to manage all of the technologies/RF).

    Note that the reason for this is that there are simply too many different technologies/RF used in our world to allow any single device contain the necessary equipment to deal with these differences. Remains no true universal "telephone"... as such, the physical device to be so great (so as to contain all of the different material) that it would be unacceptable to the consumer population. Thus, submodels evolved as a method to have the same factor fitness, but of different capacities for the different carriers in the world.

    If carriers unify all and all use the same together smaller frequencies/technology, then the need for the subtemplates would evaporate. But, alas, we are not there.

    Good luck!

  • Selection of blackBerry Smartphones of several sms and transfer as a mail

    Hello

    I would like to know how we can transfer a group of several SMS messages at the same time as a mail (a kind of chat history with send/receive with the same person - contact).

    In BBM, you can transfer the cat as a mail but I did not find the same option in SMS.

    Thanks in advance if anyone knows how to do this!

    Yes, he is spoken here several times...

    You cannot, within the native device software. You can get a third-party as DexRex application to archive your SMS to your PC. Or use Magic Berry to extract your SMS to a backup of the device.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones SMS and missed calls shows do not in my folder of SMS and MMS

    Hello!

    I have no problem with my phone so far - but this morning all of a sudden my message text and MMS folder suddenly only shows my emails.

    I can send texts by going to 'compose SMS', but when I get an answer I don't see the text message... I tried to play with the menu Options and the display folder in my text and MMS Inbox, but nothing seems to work!

    I assume that you must have changed some settings (I haven't touched this but anyway...) - I would like to reset?

    Help!

    Thank you very much for any advice you might be able to give...

    (I turned the phone off, under new inbetween...)

    Turn on your BlackBerry and off does nothing, except to turn power on and off. Perform a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart. A reboot in this way is prescirbed for most the gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose any data on the device doing so.

    There is no text in my folder of SMS and MMS - a few emails - not even my old messages...

    You can not email in your Messages folder. So, I'm confused, or is it typo?

    You have the choice of where to view your SMS/MMS messages:

    • In your main folder.
    • In a folder dedicated to SMS/MMS.
  • BlackBerry Smartphones SMS and MMS Inbox is empty

    BB 8520; version of the device software 5.0.0.1067; carrier: ATT

    I used the search option to find messages from Twitter, so I could remove them.  Delete messages took several tries, which surprised me.  Version 4 of the software of the device had no problem with this process.

    Anyway, my SMS and MMS Inbox now appears to be empty.  I have to search to see my new SMS/MMS messages.

    I had already backed up my camera and restored my Inbox TEXT Messages of this backup file, but it won't show any current traffic, a few items that I sent.  I have to do a search to see any current substance.

    What should I do to rebuild my SMS Inbox, so I have all my messages again?  Perform a search on every time I receive a new SMS takes too long.

    Thank you.

    Check this... on your device go to the main folder of Messages > press Menu > Options.

    There, choose the Inbox settings.

    Don't you see the slots check and uncheck it to keep your SMS messages in the main folder, or off to create its own SMS folder? Please tell me what is your school?

    And then do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart. A reboot in this way is prescirbed for most the gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose any data on the device doing so.

    Now back up and running, you see your text messages in the SMS folder?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones SMS and MMS does not work after 10.26.09 software update.

    I have the Verizon BlackBerry Storm 9530. When I try to extract the SMS and MMS messages, I get the following message: Eception exception: java.lang.NullPointerException. After hours on the phone with Verizon, they blame the people of BlackBerry. So now I have no possibility to send SMS; the send or receive. Other than, I'm very happy with the update. Can someone help me? Thanks, Bouldaire

    Of course, this does not either. I then did a restore of my office and 'bingo' everything works fine. I'm still distraught about the java error message; but luckily he is gone and everything works fine. Thanks for your persistence and time with me. Best regards, Patrick

  • BlackBerry Smartphones SMS and MMS icon when I load my custom theme

    I built a custom theme using the Plazmic 4.1.0.19 theme generator. When I insert the new theme, the SMS and MMS icon is gone. My theme is set to display the first 10 icons that you see when you press the MENU key. For some reason the SMS and MMS icon is not there anymore. All other icons are there. When I switch to my old theme, he's there. No one knows what causes this problem.

    I ran a test by creating the topic without using the order of application device and put the SMS and MMS icon on the home screen. When I insert this theme to test, the SMS and MMS icon area is just a dark background on the home screen.

    I made a minor change in the theme and reloaded on the "BOLD". This seems to fix.

  • difference between email and sms

    Hi guys,.

    I do not understand how to tell the difference between email and sms messages. It seems that all fall under the Inbox folder, and they are all Message objects. Is this correct? If this isn't the case, please correct me. Is there a method to retrieve all SMS?

    Thank you!

    Look carefully at the API - there are three distinct objects of the Message:

    javax.wireless.messaging.Message (SMS)

    net.rim.blackberry.api.blackberrymessenger.Message (BB Messenger - 4.2.1 and higher)

    net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.Message (email)

    All three a really different classes completely different methods and properties.
