I noticed on my phone bill this month that my phone had been sending literally hundreds of automatic text messages (SMS) to four numbers, at all different times of the day and night. I'm in the UK, and the numbers it's sending to are -
They're all included in my price plan, so it's not cost me anything, but I thought it was strange and started to investigate. I had noticed my text message allocation had been going down, even though most of my txts are to other iOS users, so I mostly use iMessage.
It turns out those numbers all belong to Apple - they're used for activating iMessage and FaceTime. And the reason it was trying so many times, is that the number my phone says in "my number" (Settings > Phone > My Number) isn't actually my number. I noticed this a while back, but it won't let me amend it, and because I thought it was just there for my information, I ignored it. So - I'm trying to activate iMesssage and FaceTime using my correct number. The number stored on the phone then tries to override that, attempting to activate the wrong number, which, of course, fails. So it keeps trying to activate - so far, having sent an average of 10-15 messages a day, over the course of 2 months. The incorrect number on the sim card is because I got a new account with my network (3), then swapped my old number from my previous carrier to this card. The only way to fix it is to get a new sim card, since I'm not able to amend the number stored on the sim.
when I installed the latest upgrade to BlackBerry OS 6 on my Torch, I lost the hours of work I had put into entering composing shortcuts into AutoText. Can my hard work, and the wonderful shortcuts, be retrieved?
My iphone 4 always shutdown when I'm sending text or i received text. Also when my battery is 50%. But when I'm charging while texting it's not shutting down.
I've set my email using the 'Other' IMAP option. I want to autocopy/cc myself to all the replies I send using my phone. Is there a way to set this for my email account ?
When selecting a contact to send a message to, the drop down list auto fills with some of my contacts which start with the letters I am keying in, but it does not auto fill with all the relevant contacts, missing out most of the contacts which start with the letter or name I am keying in? E.g if I was sending to a contact called "Paul" Keying in "P" would only bring up a few of the contacts I have starting with "Paul" but no all of them Even if I continue to key in the full name the auto fill does not seem to find the exact same name which is in my contacts Is there any way to turn off this auto fill so you can manually select the contacts I wish to sent the message to?
Just got my GS6 about 2 weeks ago and then had my work email/outlook added to it. Now all of my texts are being auto-forwarded to my work email, which I do not want! How do I stop this from happening? I saw a similar thread about SGS2's, but I think the locations of settings must have changed a bit because those directions were not completely compatible. I want to make sure I can still view my work email on my phone; just don't want my personal texts going into my work's email/network.
restoring my txt messages? I created a new backup/restore point on my phone before the new xperia 10 update, but now I cant seem to restore my txt messages!
I can't get rid of two ''unread txts'' which keep showing up whenever I click on the screen of my Bold 9780 (between the search and the profile option). They actually look like drafts since if I click on them those numbers show up on the destinary field and the phone is giving me the option to write but I assumed they were unread txts because that's where I receive the txts notifications.However I've tried every single options the phone gave me and I also tried to send a text to those numbers but the notifications are still there.I hope someone could understand what I'm saying because I barely do myself (first blackberry)
Since updating to the latest version of the software about a week ago, my contacts have cloned themselves. I now have well over 100 entries for each individual contact. Contacts and messaging now takes up to a minute to open and the contacts are impossible to use. I have 2 gmail accounts, 1 activesync, 1 outlook.com account along with facebook contacts set to sync. It was all working well until the a few days ago.
I imported my contact via phone portal with a Motorola backup file (*.bak) and selected Motorola Services for contacts storage. However, as time passes, my contacts keep growing with hundreds of copies with each entry. I mean when I select a contact an choose "Edit Contact" list shows me hundreds of same entries, as a result phone becomes unresponsive while trying to open "Edit Contact" activity. At the same time this causes general unresponsiveness on the phone because I think it fills memory and tries to garbage collect for a long time (I inferred these by looking "adb shell logcat" and "adb shell dumpsys meminfo". When I run "adb shell dumpsys meminfo" command while trying to open "edit contact, it became hung in that process)Can Turkish characters in my contacts cause this problem?
I have a Blackberry Bold 9700 on the 3 Mobile network. I only have one email account setup, and it is a Gmail account. I use Facebook for Blackberry.So here's my problem - a few days ago I checked my Blackberry Bold 9700 and saw that I had received 28 email messages and 8 Facebook notifications.However none of these emails or Facebook notifications was new. They were all ones I had already received that day.
I deleted them all, and guess what - an hour later and they all came back into my email inbox and Facebook notifications.When I went to sleep that night, I woke up with 136 emails and 26 Facebook notifications - ALL OF THEM THE SAME REPEAT EMAILS OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
I have been on forums and tried removing my battery and SIM card (not very technical, that) as well as resending the Service Books after doing this. Nothing has solved this problem though.I really hope someone can help please as I'm seriously thinking of ditching my BlackBerry and buying an iPhone where this problem doesn't occur.
Just upgraded to 5.0..592 yesterday. During the upgrade I backed up my data. The restore went wrong. I have hundreds of messages marked as new, but I cannot find them. The new message indicator shows over 600 messages as new, and that is not possible. When I started the upgrade I had 8 new messages. For example, I have a message I sent to a friend. Our SMS exchange was 4 messages, now it is hundreds of my reply. I presume the error on restore is the problem.
How can I clear this? Do I need to wipe the device and start over? It's no biggie if I have to wipe. Just wondering if I can delete the backup file and possibly the messages file/database on the BlackBerry.If it matters, it is an ATT Bold 9000.
Since updating to 4.55.97 on my 8GB it doesn't seem to Auto-Resume after an Auto-Pause. This worked before, but on my run today it Auto-Paused at two stop lights when I stopped, but after starting running again it wouldn't resume on its own and I had to press Start to get it going again
For the Device Auto ON/Auto Off feature, there is a special settings for Weekend Days. any body knows what is the reference for weekend days in that screen as I live in Saudi Arabia where Weekend is Thursday and Friday! How could I adjust the work days in that screen
I've always wondered about this. Years and years ago, I could do this with my Sony Ericsson that I had at the time. I guess this has to do with SDK restrictions, but I thought I'd throw the question out there.
What I do currently is this: I type out a text in Notational Velocity/Justnotes. The text is immediately beamed into the cloud to Simplenote. I open the Simplenote app on my iPhone, copy the text I typed on my MBP, then paste it into the Messages app and send.
Anyone else having this problem - since OS4, when I send a photo to another person, they will get the photo sent to them multiple times over the next few hours - sometimes 8 hours later. 3-4 times, but I only sent it once.
I've been put in charge of setting up email on co-workers iphones.I just recently upgraded to iphone4 and had no problems getting mine set up (AT&T carrier). However, my co-works have switched carriers to Verizon(from AT&T) and I cannot get them to send emails. I've tried cwmx.com....no luck. I set up SMTP:outgoing.verizon.net and it then gave me message that server did not relay. I even set up an vzwmail account.I need to know what SMTP server to use!
For the last couple of days when sending text to my friends who are also iPhone users my messages Have a sending delay. My phone will make the sent sound & then under the text it will say sent as Text Message. I have all bars and on wifi?
Not sure what's going on but my iPhone isn't sending iMessages. It worked fine on Saturday. I received an iMessage as a "text" and can't return messages.
I text a lot with a certain person and starting yesterday, my texts have gone through fine, but it still says sending at the top of the conversation and it never goes away. I don't want to delete our conversation. It's only happening with the one person.
I've read and read but I still cannot get my iphone 4 to send video to my TV. I bought the composite AV cable, tried connecting it and nothing! For hours I've tried different "advice". There is no TV out setting!
