Icon text Message on the home screen blackBerry Smartphones

Hi all

My Torch 9800 has developed a weird problem with the text on the home screen icon.  When I tap on it, my Office messages open instead?

He used to work fine when I got on the phone.  The only way I can write a text is to select a contact in the contacts list, and then select send a text message to this person.  All works, but is a pain.  I'm sure it is just wrong to finger and a parameter has been changed from somewhere but where.

What determines which opens when you tap on an icon?

Any help would be great.

Welcome to the forums, haysys!

Have you tried a hard reset on your device?  With the unit powered on, remove the battery for a few minutes, then replace.  See if you are then able to access the text normally.

    I've seen this question before but never the answer.  Is there a list of the meaning of the icons that appear at the top of the home screen?  It looks like this o_o but with the circle and the line connected, a little like lower cartridges of film of the former.  Any thoughts?

    Yes, if you were looking around this forum, you would find that it responded to hundreds of times.

    The notice says you have an application that you previously downloaded or purchased in App World > My World, which is ready for an upgrade on your device. Look there for the upgrade.

    To clear the notification on the screen, find the alert message in your main folder, read or delete it.

  • Help on the home screen blackBerry Smartphones nothing will work!

    MY blackberry curve is locked on the main menu and I can move the trackball but I can't click on what whether, or type anything, I deleted it and put again but still nothing, also when the backlight turns off it won't restart! Help please!

    Is there damage to the water? Open the battery compartment and check indicators on the battery and in the Bay of roses. Apparently, you do not have dropped the phone in water so that he could get moisture damage and it plays havoc on the keyboard and trackball. If the indicators are pink and then remove the battery and place the phone in a dry place, for example in front of an air conditioner. Give him a few days to dry, and then try again.

    If this isn't the problem then this is may be defective. You're under? Generally, you are covered for 1 year then try and get a replacement.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Facebook icon not showing on the home screen

    The facebook icon does not appear on the home screen.  I deleted the facebook app, downloaded again, removed the battery, resent service books, re-registered my Blackberry.  Nothing works.  Any help?

    1. look in EVERY folder on your device... Applications, instant messaging, downloads, etc.
    If you don't see it still, look at the Options > advanced > Applications. Do you not see it listed there?

    2 is it hidden? On your home screen, press Menu > SHOW ALL, so that ALL DISPLAY is checked.

    Now, back in ALL these folders.

  • BlackBerry smartphones to change icons that appear on the home screen

    Hi all:

    Any new owner of the 9000.

    I've had three questions for you gurus:

    (1) is there a way that I can choose which icons appear on the home screen, so that I don't not to hit the MENU button and then scroll to access ones I use regularly...?

    (2) ATT (in the United States) made wonder a user name and password when I try to connect to att.com/blackberrystart.  I already put in place an email 'external' non-Exchange, the private, ([email protected]) on my phone, but of course I can't use it to connect to this site.  Does anyone have an idea as to what is happening?

    (3) even if I send emails using this account [email protected] of "BOLD", what should I do to RECEIVE emails on account of [email protected] using POP?

    Any help on these three issues will be fantastic.

    Thanks in advance.

    -d.

    You can hide those that you no longer want to see. Just ALT + click the trackball on those that you do not want to see and choose hide. With the default theme only the top row of icons will be visible without hitting the menu button.

    Check out this post to other sites that have additional themes, you can install

  • Web page to create a custom icon ' favorite d on the home screen.

    Years... as iOs6 days, there was a web page where you can enter in a URL, tap the icon png, and it would be you can create a bookmark on your home screen.

    It was, iirc, originally designed to allow you to make icons to toggle the settings like airplane mode.

    I used it to make an icon for a url mailto icon on my iPad v1 and my iPod Touch 4.

    ANYWAY, I now have an iPhone and would be like putting said icon/mailto bookmark on it as well, but my search on Google for the page isn't going well, so I thought I would ask if someone remembers a thing like that.

    Well, my googling this issue continues, I found that what I had used was a "DATA URL".

    At the time, I did it with a Web site that would generate them with icons you load, or those that he had... that cannot be found at all.

    BUT, by getting the "data url" when I click on the icon on my iPad, and then paste this url long extremly in safari on the iPhone... leave the "loading" page, triggering the mail, then cancelling the mail and THEN by saving this page (the data page url) to the home screen, it created the icon (the icon image is stored in the public record of my selection) with the name "program".

  • Problem with home screen blackBerry Smartphones

    Recently discovered that the button to set up the grid at the bottom of the home screen disappeared.  The only way I can get must now press the bar indicator flow near the top of the screen, how the button appears at the gate, but the white screen "you currently have no new notification" that appears when I pressed first the bar flow indicator, stand behind the grid.

    However if I have a message waiting for me and I'm in the indicator feeds bar that I can not display the message.  I first have to open the flow indicator, then open the gate, then select message to open it.

    The only way to close the indicator feeds also bar when its open is to press the screen.  The buttons cancel/return and Cancel do nothing.

    Hope someone can help with this problem.

    Thanks in advance.

  • BlackBerry smartphone how to get rid of the message on the home screen icon

    Here is my problem

    hoping someone can help me.

    On my screen, I have the icon showing on albums by saying that I have 1 message.

    But I have no message of any kind. No email, no I.M., of not BBM, no SMS or MMS, no Facebook or MySpace.

    I checked and double checked all the above mentioned. I turned off the phone. I removed the battery. I did the * 228 update.

    None of the above worked.

    How to remove this icon? its to the point of being boring for me.

    What is a yellow mail icon?  If Yes, go to Messages.  Press the menu button and select "View saved Messages."  If there is nothing of unread in there, do the same thing and select "Show file" and check each folder until you find the message.
