  • Problem blackBerry Smartphones SMS alert

    Hello

    I have a blackberry torch 9860.It no more alerts not received text messages (SMS), I consulted the menu messaging and activated alerts in received messages (in all profiles) and still it does not give an alert when an SMS arrives and I have to manually access the SMS Inbox to see received messages.

    I'll also take the opportunity to ask, I don't have the blackberry package in my blackberry mobile. So I can't access the internet even if I connect to a Wi - Fi network?

    I thank all those who can help me.

    Try a battery pull to fix the SMS problem. With your phone, remove the battery and then replace it.
    You can always access the internet without BlackBerry data. Do a search for the Opera mini browser for surfing via Wi - Fi.

    See you soon.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones SMS full Notification - help please

    I'm at my wits end with my Blackberry Torch 9810.  I have very little text messages in my Inbox, I lost the lot for some reason my phone has decided to change some date & in the future and trying to resolve that, in my opinion, I wiped everything, do not know what I did a few weeks ago, but they disappeared.

    Now I get notifications that my SMS Inbox is full and I need to delete messages.  Can someone help me I have a lot of messages on the handset and cannot believe it is complete unless there is an option I need to select/deselect.  The user guide is useless.

    I changed a parameter in the past as text messages seem to be endangered if they were in a month or so old, but all that I did I can't and don't know how to handle all my text messages myself.  My old iphone allowed me to keep the text as long messages I wanted with what appeared to be a very large storage area, now I just want to throw this thing in the bin.  Unfortunately I have 18 months remaining on my contract (business) so I can do nothing about it.

    It's complicated for SMS ringtones, but possible. Follow the instructions here:

    This work around will allow you to receive specific alerts for e-mail and messages from specific senders:

    (Works with OS 4.2 and later)

    1. go to the profiles on your BlackBerry and create a custom profile, naming the name of your sender targeted.

    2. Edit and change the custom ringtones that you prefer for this contact message notifications, Messages of level 1, MMS, phone and SMS for this profile. You don't change things like the calendar, tasks, and Messenger alerts do not matter for individual users.

    3. once all your ringtone settings are defined for the new custom profile, save the changes. Now, you will be in your list of profiles and see your customized profile that there are listed with the standard.

    4. now click on the wheel, and then select new Exception.

    5. title except for what you want (would be smart to again name the name of this particular contact).

    6. in the line, click the trackball or trackwheel and select the user in your address book. They should show now in your line.

    7 scroll to the bottom and change the option use the active profile in your custom group newly created profile.

    8. you can dislodge the "Custom phone Tune" box if you already have a custom phone tune for this contact, or leave it and set it in the new custom as well profile.

    9 save the changes.

    Now once you have followed these for each SMS contact - click Save as indicated by the number nine.  Go back to your profile and click on normal or hard for the sound profile. Make sure that you have all of the exceptions already in your area of exception for those you did a SMS tone for. If you do, remove them so you your SMS does not work.  You can actually set your ringtones under each one that you set up as well. When you change your SMS sounds, you can click on the phone and change your ringtone to that specific one.  Hope you can understand this.

    Each of us will be more than happy to help you, let know us!

    Have a great day and good luck. Take advantage of your blackberry!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones SMS Backup-able?

    Hello. I had a BB Bold 9650 for six weeks, and the 'o' key is out.  Verizon sent me a new free, but I have text messages that I really want to keep.  If I do a backup of my phone, which will exclude my texts or is it possible to save them for the transfer?

    I am open to any downloadable software, with which I can save my texts.  But I checked my options in the SMS section and the inside of the text itself, and there seems to be no way to save these texts is to the card by e-mail, the PC or the media.

    Would appreciate any input from anyone before I go ahead and switch phones.  I have maybe just live without "O" key and keep my existing phone.  Sounds crazy, I know, but I really want to save these.  There should be a way to save and transfer all back to the new, I hope.  Searched the web for two hours looking for it but no luck so far.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    If you are always two devices by hand, then you can use the switch device Wizard:

    • KB16291 How to use the switch device Wizard to switch to a new BlackBerry smartphone

    Honestly I don't positive how specifically manages the SMS, but there are sections of your user manual that discussing it... You should also check here.

    Also, you can manually back up your SMS database, and then I guess that try to restore:

    My pearl cannot receive new texts.

    also, my bbm conversations had all been cleaned...

    It comes from occurring as you face constraints of memory in your device. The low memory manager (LMM) is activated automatically when the flash available on the BlackBerry smartphone memory decreases less than 400 KB. Flash memory is used to store such as Messages, calendar, Contacts, tasks, Notepad BlackBerry smartphone applications and third-party applications.

    Perform the following steps-

    1. Give a soft reset by removing the battery for 30 sec.
    2. Check the amount of memory is free in your device to Options -> status -> free memory. To view all aspects of database go to Option -> status -> click on the Menu button and then select the database size

    Y at - it a way for different alerts program or notiifcation for SMS text from e-mail messages.  In general, I get about 100 + emails a day.  (Thus the reason why I wanted to get a Blackberry)  Before I got this unit, I loaded my friends and family in the best way to get my was to text messages.  However, with the Blackberry my text messages get "lost" in the mail.

  • Alerts BlackBerry Smartphones SMS do not always play

    Model: Storm 9500 (os 4.7)

    Carrier: Rogers Wireless

    0 apps on memory

    53 093 648 b free before and after the battery pull

    To avoid any confusion in the next section, please assume that my phone IS, and always has the value of the normal sound profile.  There is NO reason to think that my problems are based on the possibility that my phone is in silent mode.

    Thus,.

    I've had my Storm for about a year now, and I had this problem for months.  If someone sends me an sms, I can't always hear the sound alert, feel the vibration and see the indicator LED flashing red.  If none of them is the first time I get a text, then they usually don't won't happen if I got another text message a few minutes later.  But the next day, it can work properly.  This happens regardless of whether or not, my phone is sheathed.

    That's what I have my settings sms as:

    Ringtone: Notifier_Eager

    Volume: 7

    Sound in case: Yes

    LED: WE

    Vibration: WE

    Warn me when calls: YES

    By clicking on the button TRY will cause the phoen vibrate, Flash the LED, then read the notifier sound a few seconds after.

    Any ideas?

    In addition, RIM will never come out with an OS 5 for the 9500?  I see nothing but the leaked versions online and no announcement about whether.

    RIM announced rarely updates.  Not all carriers release the software updates in a timely.  You can load releases of other carriers if your does not release it.  It will work the same if your carrier released and in many cases, your operator can release the exact same version as another carrier.  The only differences are contained in each languages and as they all English this means that in the United States, we can load any version that comes out of any carrier.

    If you do not have the 9500 and not the 9520, 9530 9550 and then use the following to upgrade to OS 5.  This is not a version of 'leakage' but an official OS published by a carrier (if it cannot be your operator).  Because all operating systems are written by RIM for each type of device it is not really important which carrier releases.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Smiley alert - what is?

    At the top of my screen (BB8320) a smiley with a red star and a figure 1 appeared, just as a new alert message but with a smiley instead of an envelope. There is nothing in my Inbox or anywhere else that I can find, I'm looking forward to remove it but how? I do not use messenger, facebook or any other form of networking other than SMS and e-mails. I have a bug?

    Help would be very appreciated, I've had the BB nearly a year & have not met before.

    It looks like the BlackBerry Messenger icon.   Maybe someone tried to add you as a friend?  I could check that and see if that's it.

  • 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.

    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.

    Hey I got a problem with my Blackberry bold 9700. There are some messages that end up freezing and I am not able to open. And all the other messages that open, when I send an answer that I see it through and sent, but when I go back to the Inbox my message is no longer visible. Messages are permanently in the gel, and so is my folder. I can't scroll upwards or downwards to display messages. No idea how I can solve this problem. Also, I am very new to the blackberry forum and technologically challenged, so please give advise me and directions in a version "Blackberry for Dummies." Thank you!

    First of all, try a reboot simple: with the phone smart BlackBerry turned on, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    If this does not it, open your Messages folder, press Menu > folders and access your SMS Inbox and delete the history of this user's SMS. Try to do the same thing in the SMS sending for the same user. Now, do a reboot.

    See if that helps.
