BlackBerry Smartphones SMS red asterisk?

Just noticed that the red asterisk is not displayed when I receive an SMS text only.  It's showing my emails.  Suggestions?  Thank you.

P.S. I have the little envelope top no asterisk red on the SMS icon as usual.  Still going execution.75 supplied with the phone.

Hi and welcome to the forums!

A very common difficulty for the indicators do not update properly is a simple battery pull.

Thank you

  • 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.

    OK, not a lot of people very little. It is in memory of the device, but you are some of the SIM card, save too much.

    Then... you must change this setting according to the instructions below.

  • 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:

    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.

    I rebooted my phone from TONS of time... is there a way to reset the phone?

    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

  • BlackBerry Smartphones No. Red Star or envelope for new SMS

    With the help of my 8800 - when I receive emails again, increases the number by email envelope unreads and a red star appears on the envelope to signfiy for new emails in.  The same occurred for the SMS messages that arrive.

    Lately, I noticed that it is no longer applicable for SMS messages. New can happen without any of what happens. No envelope, no number, no red star. It is on the Strip at the top of my screen using the current O2 Zen theme - which is what I've always used before, so no change.

    They red stars don't seem to verticals 6 icons on the screen, but I still don't see these icons, especially when the screen is locked.

    Not sure if I explained that besides I could but hope, it makes sense. How can I get my stars red and envelopes back on this band at the top of the page for SMS?  I tried settings and forum for anything obvious, but without success.

    Try to reset the unit, remove the battery for 30 seconds and install again, check if the problem has been resolved.

  • Screen blackBerry Smartphones Black, red light flashing

    I was downloading an application when a screen message told me to reboot to continue the installation. I pressed the Off button, but now, despite pressure on the Start button, the phone will not come alive, even if she was recently charged. There is just a black screen and the little red light flashes from time to time.

    Hi HarryTyrrell

    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums

    By pressing the button Off is not the correct way to restart our BlackBerry device, please perform a battery pull reboot as this device while is powered on remove waiting battery for a min. and then reinsert it wait until the device take a long restart. See if that helps.

    If this isn't the case, then try to start your machine in Safe Mode and in Safe Mode uninstall your downloaded recently or that you think is responsible for this.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones SMS MESSAGES ARE NOT SENT, they HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT in the WAITING for HELP

    My BB Bold 9000 doesn't send text messages.  I had no problem sending texts to the end of last week.  Now in my Outbox SMS all my text messages are displayed with a red box with a small tail to the 12:00 position and another small line to the position of 03:00, on the left side of the text msg.  When I select the message it shows it is "PENDING". Nothing happens when I select send it back.  The display on my phone is now a symbol like: o_o circles are not separated from underscore.  What does this symbol mean.  I don't think it was until I started having trouble with my text message sent.

    First of all, do this: with the BlackBerry device powered on, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    the symbol o_o on the home screen indicates that you have a voice message waiting.

  • 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.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones SMS max 70 characters

    Hello world. I am new user of BB and I have a problem with the SMS length. I found a few other posts on the Web on this topic but still no real answer.

    My BB is a Pearl 8120 and I can't send simple messages SMS, more than 70 characters (they would be separated more than one sms).

    My language is Italian (but I tried to switch to English) and the method of encoding for SMS is set to 7bits, so it is supposed to allow up to 160chars, but no way.

    I wonder if it could be something related to my Italian phone operator (TIM), although I've never had similar problems with my previous cells. The Blackberry itself is TIM brand.

    I already checked my settings according to the assignment following the size of messages SMS and data coding

    Any solution?

    Thanks to everyone will help.

    UPDATE: problem solved

    I write to the solution of the problem, must it be useful to someone else...

    1st:

    Sending SMS was not actually separated after 70 characters: it was just a problem with the number of characters displayed on the screen that was wrong. This is definitely a bug in the firmware

    2nd:

    Update the firmware to the new version 4.5 and the fault is gone. Now it correctly displays the 160 characters!

    Bye!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones SMS message sending error

    My ISP changed my phone and my sim card, but I rarely can I send sms messages.  The error message is "Short Message Transfer Rejected".  Why won't?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones flashing red light after the charge for the night

    I have a Rogers Bold 9900 that don't would not start this morning after last night.  Instead, I have a red led slow blink.  I tried to connect it to my Blackberry Desktop Software, but he would not see it (kept saying that he could not connect).  I understand it is a common problem with the 9900 and the telephone exchange is the only solution.  Generally I go back to Rogers and try to exchange the phone but I bought the phone outright and can not find the reception of anywhere.  Since this model is less than one year (so my phone can not guarantee being is another way to exchange it without my original receipt?)  I go back to BB Android and actually well liked my "BOLD" (especially in tandem with my Playbook), but now I find myself on an old Android phone because my "BOLD" is dead.
