I have seen others that can text a message that can go over one page but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Is there a setting I need to set or a special way to text? I use Vlingo alot too but it cuts off the message after 160 characters.
i'm looking for an app that will allow me to text up to 15 people and using more than 160 characters. Can any of you help me find such a program or app?
Ok complete BB Newb here so please bear with me. I have a new 9650, my gf has a new Incredible (both Verizon). When we're SMSing and I use the emoticons , they don't show up like they're supposed to on her Incredible - she just gets the jumbled text characters, no emoticons . Is this a setting on her end? We've tried everything. If she uses the Incredible's smiley's in tm's to me, they show up fine on the BB Bold . . .
is there any possible way to set or add an app so that my bb tour can send sms messages over 160 characters? i have heard it should let you as long as you send to people that have the same verizon carrier as you but it will not work for me?
Just upgraded my Tour to 5.0 on Sprint. Beyond160 no longer works (i haven't found an upgraded version..). Has anyone found a fix for beyond 160 or is there an alternative way to exceed 160 characters? either another program etc? i don't care if i have to pay for it lol
i constantly receive texts alerting me of new voicemails. i have to pay for texts and don't want to receive them. does anyone know how to turn off this alert? i know i have a message when i see the icon.
I use Yahoo Messenger on my computer to text a friend on his phone. However, when I leave the house, I'd like to be able to receive any replies that he sends so I use the sign into Yahoo Messenger on my cell phone option, but even though he sends replies, I never receive them on my phone.
I am in the process of experiencing my first smart phone ever! Three days ago I made the decision to get the Droid Eris. I was in love with this phone the first 24 hours and then I started to think of my other options. The Moto Droid is out for me just because I really hate the size of the device... Just not for me. I know am deciding on either the BB Tour or keeping my Droid Eris. I have some following questions that hopefully you can all chip in.
I am mainly going to use my phone for texting/emailing with the whole uploading pictures to facebook and making the occasional tweet. I just graduated college so also looking for a very reliable phone for my "finding a J O B" process. So far the Droid Eris seems to be a very capable phone but there is some hiccups in the facebook/twitter apps and when I am typing on the keyboard there seems to be some spotty lag.
So my questions for you are.
Does the Tour experience spotty lag while texting/emailing?How are the facebook and twitter apps for the blackberry, from my very native knowledge of BB I have heard great things about them.
Is BBM what it is cracked up to be... all my friends just swear by it.Everything I run is google from gmail to calender. Is the BB able to sync like the eris did to all my contacts?Is the BB able to do google talk and is it instantly or is there some delay in receiving emails and msgs through gmail.
1)when you receive a text, can you tell how many other people that text was simultaneously sent to, just like u can tell on the regular non-smartphones and non-PDAs?
2) Can you setup stored quick reply text messages on the Storm2?
We use many accents in words, what happens to me when writing messages is that I have to write 160 letters (1 message), but if I put an accent on a word he is soon to 70 letters available to write ...
I've just started getting what looks like Chinese characters and the string 500 in Stocks on my iPhone 4 with iOS 5. No similar thing happening with DOW J and NASDAQ. I deleted and added it back using a search on ^GSPC with the same result.
All my nokia E52 ' s letters become too big suddenly I try to all ways to solve. In Setting menu, making size small or normal doesnt change anything still all letters are huge. On the standby screen, even date does not fit into its space.
My bold has this issues in which it only allows me to send 70 characters in a text, the rest is full of random spaces I can't see, and some people end up getting blank texts from me. Randomly, it could be someone on ATT or sprint whatever, what should I do besides send my phone in? Im thinking about doing that since its on warranty for another month, do you recommend another Bold.....or should I get a Curve 8900....or try out a non blackberry device, or see if they have a Bold 9700 in stock?
I realize that by holding a key you get a set of special characters, but some are still missing, for example the apple logo and other weird ones i've seen on screenshots in the wallpaper thread. where do you view these and use them?secondly, emoticons - where do you gets these, how do you use them? is this something you select on Settings?
WIth the update to OS 6.0 (6.0.0.6.00) frmo Sprint, I now have the ability to go beyond the standard 160 characters for a text mesage. It appears that I have up to seven text messages worth of 160 chracters that can be composed and sent. This feature was working fine until last week. Here is what is happening. If I compose a text that is 180 chracters long, only the second part (the last 20 characters) comes thru. The message will say "2/2" and then display the final 20 characters. The first 160 characters never arrive. I have tested sending a message like this to a Sprint user, ATT user and T-mobile user. They all arrived in the same manner, only the last 20 characters.I have spoken to Sprint to no avail.
It appears I cannot send messages over 160 characters. Does anyone have the same problem? I am hearing things about bugs in the Andriod 2.1 update. I have tried differeent SMS products on the market such as Go SMS but I am getting the same issues.
Well, I just got past a battery killing bug with Google location services, and now this.
The first few characters I type into the Google Search bar are always lost. It's really annoying, and it's gotten to the point that I just jab at characters until it starts echoing. It does not catch up or remember those first lost characters.
Really, really annoying. No other app, widget or feature has this problem.
I'm based in the U.K. and I'm registered with Apple as being in the UK, but I recently visited China & bought an official Apple accessory from the official Apple Store. They asked if I wanted my receipt emailed to me, which I said yes, and gave them the email address that's registered with Apple. Ever since then, I receive emails from Apple in Chinese and now when I look at the App Store or iTunes on my iPhone 4S or iPad 4, all menus are in Chinese. I've logged into my iTunes account and it says that I'm registered in the U.K.. In addition, both the iPhone & iPad, have there regions set to the U.K.. Does anyone know how I can get my account registered back to British English and/or U.K.?
Normally on a PC you use the alt button and the numeric keys to put a certain mark on a letter I.e an accent sign on an e. How do I do that on my BB torch
Since my phone (Curve 9360) was updated to 7.1 Bundle 1133 last week, I can no longer send SMS messages as the numbers are changed to characters. For example, if I try to send an SMS to 63555 it converts it to FRDDD when entered, then when the SMS is sent, it displays (in red) Unidentified subscriber.Is this a problem with the software? I cannot find any setting to disable the search that changes the number to the characters.
i cannot see special characters like ä ï ë ü in my inbox.i also update ng firmware with the latest but nothing happened it is still the same that i cannot see special characters for the incoming messages.
Please see the last row of the keyboard.At your right end there is a control key which can mute the sound next to that " & " and " ' " are in the same key. but when i press that key dot " ." is coming next " ," (comma) is coming after that its written " ? " and " ( " but when i press " ` " is coming. Is there any problem in the mobile?
When I send mail through MfE, Swedish and other special characters do not reach the recipient, they are just ignored. No blanks or nothing. Every word with a Swedish character ends up one letter short.Before the firmware upgrade this was intermittent, happening only on about half of my mails.Now I upgraded yesterday, and it seems the problem is now permanent.Have seen similar posts from E75 and E90 owners, their problems seem to have been fixed by newer firmware.Our setup is: Exchange 2003, Portwise authentication.All other phone models work fine, like iPhone, E71 etc.
