New user, long-time lurker here. Until today it wasn't bugging me too much, but now it does. If I send out a plain MMS picture with a subject and the receiver sends back sole text, well, there is no other way to describe it, but either the text never appears or it disappears within second and I can never read it.
Anybody knows how to rectify that. I searched but didn't find the proper answer. Oh, I am on Rogers btw.
I noticed that when I send a lot of text to one person, eventually the sending will freeze and I cannot open a text from this one person. Is this a common issue? I am on ATT and running .296
just had a bold 9700 yesterday and decided to send a text to my daughter who says she keeps getting the same text all the while when i have only sent it once . i`m on t mobile, had no problems before with my old phone.
does anyone know how to clear the text message field in the .442 update for the 9700. It used to be alt+delete in the older firmwares, but that doesn't seem to work anymore.
I am currently using the BB Bold 9700. Unfortunately I have got a problem with the device concerning writing SMS (and sometimes also e-mails):When I get started writing a SMS everythings fine. But abruptly the cursor disappears and when I continue writing the text, it just does not appear on the screen. But "in the background" the text goes on, because after writing "blindly" I can send the whole message, even the first part I can see and even the second part which is written but not displayed.
I recently upgraded to a 9700. Is there a way to make my name show up when someone receives a text message from me, as opposed to my phone number? You know, like when you send an email.
i got a blackberry bold 9700 for christmas and i've been having only one problem with the phone. Sometimes when I've been having a conversation, through sms text messages, with someone I will be randomly unable to open a newly received sms text message and cannot open it for a while. I got it checked and they gave me a new phone, and this one is doing the same thing. Sometimes i can't open it for 10 mins and then sometimes i have to delete it because it's been over 2 hours. this is getting really annoying and more and more frequent. does anyone know what i should do? cause the bell people dont even know.
How do u change the text regular ringtone on my 9700 bb I don't know how to do it I look every were in my phone an can I use a music ringtone instead of the regular tone
I did do a search on this before I posted it, however the one thread out there really didnt answer my question so sorry for the re - post. Does anyone know how or if you can delete the option to receive a text message when getting and deleting a visual voicemail? Previous post stated that you can't do it or that it was a bug. thought now that some time went by someone might have came up with a fix.
This is my first post and my first BB, I have tthe BB Bold 9700 with T-Mo. Here is my question:How do I configure the BB to display the contact info on the text message. When ever I get a text message it just shows the phone number not the name, however when I connect to my home wi-fi, the name populate the text messages but when I dissconnect from the WI-FI the names go away and the phone numbers appear...I must have done something stupid when I was setting up my contacts and or WI-FI
Got the new Bold 9700. The little yellow envelope will not disappear at all! I've checked the missed calls, inbox messages and emails etc. I've done battery pulls and that does the trick but it keeps coming back.
BOLD 9700, T-Mobile. I have current OS. I am receiving the above message when I try to reply to an email. Yesterday---I didn't have this problem. I go to email set up & my email addresses are there. When I am in message options, and choose Email Settings--- there isn't ANYTHING there.
I have checked thru all the folders and saved messages folders and I can't find the message anywhere. When I get a new email or SMS/MMS text messages it says I have the number plus 1, but I can't find the message or get rid of the icon. I have looked in all the Instant messaging folders and still can't find the message.
I've tried signing into Facebook via my new 9700 and am getting the following error message:Error encountered during XML parse: End tag does not match start tag 'head'.Has anybody else had this message? How do I get around it so I can access my Facebook account?
This happens with literally every single e-mail I get! I have to refresh Mail twice to make messages stay in my inbox, else new messages disappear and do the same thing the next time the iPhone checks for e-mails (which is very annoying because if I leave it it'll vibrate over and over again because of just one e-mail).Restoring doesn't do it, and my iPod touch actually does the same thing too.
if the predictive text disappearing was fixed in iOS 8.01 then it is still not working for me on ios 8.1.1. are they going to address this with another update? I never know when it is going to start working again. I'm tired of switching it off and then on again!
Z5 Compact. For some reason, the text input field in the Messaging app keeps disappearing. I can be texting someone back and forth and then, completely at random, the text input field at the bottom vanishes making it impossible to return a text.
Only solution I have found to this issue is to restart the phone and the Messaging app goes back to normal. Phone has been fantastic other than this and would be super if I could get this very annoying issue sorted.
My daughter has a BB curve and has a problem sending text messages to one of her friends. She gets a message back saying that there are insufficient digits in the number. However, she has the correct number in her contact list and has also tried to reply to a received text from the friend but gets the same message. I have the same number in my BB Bold 9700 and she is able to send messages successfully from my phone. She has also re-saved the number of her contact but still no luck. This is the only number she has problems with.
The bar on the top of the screen between the "select a profile" and the "search magnifying glass" where the notifications pop up not sure what that page is called but in this slide down screen under Text Messages I have a text message that is staying at unread. Even though I have deleted the text message and I've tried everything to try and get it to go away. Today I have a Blackberry Messenger Message that won't delete as well. Does anyone else have this problem and figure out a way to refresh and get ride of it? I've tried turning the device on and off a few times but doesn't fix the issue.
Anyone else have this problem? I've blown through 2 phones in a week because of this (figured out what deleted the phone app after the second one). Anyone know how to reinstall the phone app by itself? My phone is a corporate provided phone
Recently upgrade my BB OS from 5.x to 6 series... immediately after the upgrade noticed Maps had disappeared, right clicking contacts and view on map throws a location not found error... using the built in search from the home screen shows nothing.
From Blackberry Desktop I can see Blackberry Maps 6.0 listed as installed, when I try and install OTA from bb.com I get a Java error though I can see the Blackberry Maps 6.1 Installer listed in installed applications. I have tried removing Blackberry Maps 6.0 prior to installing OTA, with no change in behavior. I have also tried downgrading the OS with minimal applications installed again no change in behavior.Seems to be the only application I have issues with.
I have a BlackBerry Bold 9700. I have an unread message indicator (little yellow envelope +3) on my screen, but I don't have any unread messages in my list.
So far, I've tried the following:
1. Typed "u" to search for unread messages and it tells me that I have no unread messages.
2. I went into my email and selected "mark prior unopened" and still nothing.
3. I've tried to restart the phone the phone. When I do, I end up with even more unread messages that I have to select -- over and over again! I can always get it back down to 3, but no fewer.
4. The date and time on my phone appears to be correct.
I've tried and tried to solve this - if anyone can help then that would be fab.On my BB Bold 9700 I've got too many message icons.I've got one for my work email - useful...One for my SMS and MMS - useful.One for my personal email - useful.And one stupid one that wants to group all the messages into one place and mix then up and notify me (even though the other ones already notify me) etc etc.
I just want to know if there is a way that I can open my text message "inbox" without haivng to open a new text message that I have. I used to have a droid. When I clicked on the message icon, it would open to the full inbox, just not the conversation with the new text message. I want to know if there is a way I can do this with my iPhone as well.
Yesterday my telephone works normally. I Left it and when I returned. I found completely closed. Does not work and put it on the charger led illuminates a red color appears and disappears, and when connected to the computer screen appears black with a mobile battery and above it a sign of thunder and does not work at all.
I recently got my Blackberry Bold 9700 and I used to use crunchsms on my Blackberry Curve 8520 so I didn't mind the message indicator whenever I got an email because crunchsms had it's own message indicator. I now realize that whenever I receive a text and email it results to the same message indicator. I have done: Messages > Options > Inbox Settings and have unclicked my email account so that the message inbox remain separate. I don't understand how I have the latest OS version yet have to deal with this. Is there someone who can help? Or is there a theme that I can download that separates the sms/mms and email complete so that I may get two entire different message notifications?
I like having my texts and emails coming through in my message box but when I have a load of IM messages coming through from yahoo and msn just because I've not got the app open at the time (but still signed in) is a little annoying
I"ve had my bold 9700 for one month. The first 3 weeks were fine, all of a sudden, I keep getting the message icons at the top of the screen, but there are NO messages. I've deleted all messages, texts, phone calls etc., icon is still there. AT&T, nor the blackberry store seems to have a solution. I don't want to have to pull my battery every time this happens (multiple times per day).
