  • BlackBerry Z10 Z10 will not display text messages, cannot receive

    I did a cleanup of security yesterday because my contacts were a complete mess, numbers have been associated with incorrectly, and I have no idea how this happened.

    After the security wipe, and when I highlight, and then click SMS, the hub of Blackberry only displays the telephone numbers of the numbers that I sent a text when I click on the message, I see the number plus a gray screen.

    No need to do a security wipe because it only deletes all data from the phone and put it in a 'default' State You should try to do a reload of the operating system using the BB link. If you don't want to lose your contacts or settings. Make a backup of everything before reloading. The instructions are as follows:

    Open the BlackBerry link and connect your device via microUSB
    Select settings (gear icon)
    Select reload under Reload Device Software
    Follow the on-screen instructions to reload the software. When you are finished, you can disconnect your device.

  • A new line appears in the messages I receive. There seems to be a line of links, including a Pointant URL to the source of msg (maybe). How can I get rid of him?

    On my messages incoming under my bars, & above the message header, is a new line. It sort of looks like another bar tools, but different. It reads from left to right, and each word is white highlight:

    Return before refresh URL: _ go

    Each of these words except for "URL:" are in boxes as if they are links, but they do not work as links.

    What is this and how do I get off it my incoming messages?

    Thank you, nanciewanda

    OK, you have a lot of Add-ons, I though I had loads, but I think that you beat me.

    You have the add-on Thundebirowse installed, I think that the elements are in the toolbar that provides.

    Tools menu > Add-ons and disable Thunderbrowse and I think they will disappear.

  • How to open all the text files in a folder at a time so that they cross my VI in good order and the VI should only be run once per file?

    Hello

    I am currently looking to browse hundreds of text files my VI to run the VI once and having labview to open each text file in the order numberical that are contained in a single folder.

    In general, I ran each file one at a time through the VI, hours to browse all text files. I'm wondering if there is a way I can specify a target folder and then open each text file in the target folder and walked through my VI in numberical order (each file is located in the order that is MM_01, MM_02, MM_03...). Currently I open a file at the same time, through "the spreadsheet read", then the index table, and then run through filters etc to get the data I need. I hope there is a way to do it, because he will save days of work.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Cannot send or receive text messages to blackBerry Q10 apply after update s/w on Q10

    After apply software version 10.1.0.4181 (size 6 MB) on my Q10, I can no longer send or receive text messages, pls help. At first, I thought that the text messages were only reduced, but I'm unable to send, receive or open any previous cat. I rebooted the device several times, including removing the battery. When you try to make a text message, system seems to be stuck on the last message received yesterday and I am unable to open the chat session, to answer, to compose. I can't dial any contact, neither able to receive text messages. PLs help!

    I removed my battery again, this time left aside for 5 minutes. SMS now works again. (previously about 2 min)

    However, the problem that I have been experincing, I had before, where I can not send sms message. I think I may have hit a hot key and basically does not allow you to send a message. In general I restart at this point and sms working again. I'll try your new os option after I verified that everything works correctly again.  Thank you for your help.

    I had problems since the first 9 update iOS. Currently, after update 9.3, the camera icon to attach a photo or video to a text message is grayed out to contacts who don't use an iMessage. But even already since the 9 update iOS, I could not send successfully an MMS message for even once, an iMessage. not using the user. It will fail just sent each time. When this gets fixed! I reset my phone, reset the settings of the network, change your APN setting, the whole 9 yards.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones text Message Notification problem

    I received a SMS to say that I have a new voice message. I have read the text message and then deleted, but in my opinion, he said that I got a text from my voicemail number.

    If I now click on the text message in my view, it opens a window to compose a new Message with my voicemail phone number in the field. (The icon in my notification folder is now essentially a shortcut to send a text message to my voicemail).

    I can't delete this message or this 'shortcut' at all.

    Any help or suggestion?

    Have you tried a battery pull? Remove the battery, wait 30 seconds then put again?

    I've erased text messages and you want to know if I have a chance to find them somehow.

  • Text Message shortcuts don't synchronize between my devices using iCloud

    It does not sync to my text Message shortcuts between my iOS devices (iPad Air 2 Wi - Fi, iOS 9.3.2 and iPhone 6 s, iOS 9.3.2) and my Mac (OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)).

    Already, I turn off and turn on iCloud on all my devices. Also, I try to remove all my shortcuts and add on my Mac. Shortcuts do not appear on other devices.

    The only solution I found is to add a shortcuts on each devices.

    I really appreciate any help you can provide.

    Hi Virtanas,

    I understand that you are having problems with your text message shortcuts don't no synchronization between devices that are connected to iCloud. Have access to usage they are practical so I can understand wanting to ensure that they operate.

    I know that you have already tried to extinguish iCloud on all your devices, but I recommend you to try to connect on iCloud on all your devices, and then restart your devices before you sign in. If that is not the case, the next step you can try is to disable your iCloud of Documents and data on your iPhone and then turn it back on. You can do it on your iPhone by going to settings > iCloud > Documents & data. If you have upgraded to iCloud by car then you would rather go to settings > iCloud > iCloud Drive and toggle the iCloud drive function works. You may also do this for your other devices that are connected to iCloud.

    Thanks for checking out the communities Support from Apple!

    Best regards.
