I am trying to change my messaging tones for my Lumia 800 and its only showing the defaults. I have new ringtones i can download, but i want to have them in the "messaging" tones as well. why are they not populating in both and why cant i set people up to have certain Message tones? it only lets me do ring tones.
Ok I can add ringtones no problem although a bit dissapointed that there are so many restrictions on them have been able to use any sound file on my last 3 nokia phones with out a problem, but I'm unable to add new alert tones
Is there a way to add/personalise message tones with the Lumia 610.So far I've found no way to do this.If this is the case is there an App from windows to download to correct this or am I just wasting my time.
After creating a group on the people page, when you try to send an sms to the group, the message does not get sent. The messages do go when they are sent individually.
As of a couple of days ago, I haven't been receiving messaging notifications.I still recieve the message, they just don't show up on the live tile, the lock screen or make a sound.Also, whenever I recieve a call, I don't get their caller ID. It just shows a number even though I definitely have them on my contacts.I'm using a Lumia 920?
I added my Facebook account to the accounts on Lumia 920 so I can use the built-in Messaging app for Facebook chat. However, the app (I guess) posts idle status messages to my Facebook timeline in every 1-2 hours. An example message:"I've been away since 15:37."I have now 9 messages like this since yesterday.I went through all the settings but could not find how to stop this. I disabled the Microsoft application within Facebook but then you can't chat and won't get the updates.
I have two email accounts set up on my 920. When I press the tile for either of these or for text messaging the screen flips like it is about to launch and then goes back to the home screen. Email and text are obviously fairly important.
I've recently bought a nokia 820 and am having trouble with the messaging app. In my settings-ringtones+sounds, I've got the ringer on, and the new text or IM set to a sound, the 'play a sound for' everything is checked. However when I receive an SMS neither the messaging live tile updates to reflect this, nor does any sound alert me. The phone is set to ring+vibrate, is there somewhere else I'm not checking?
how on earth I turn off the autocorrect word thing in messaging?I like the word suggestion line but I don't want it to auto-correct my words in the message.I can't seem to find anything in the Settings to do it.I have updated my phone this very morning to get the latest firmware so it's not that.
I have a Nokia E71 just update to the firmware 410.21.010. I did not recovered backup after the upgrade and I formatted the memory card, so it's completely clean.
Now, Nokia Email has appear as new included application so I would like to use it, but when I configure my email account (form a supported services: ovi, gmail, etc...), the wizard only configures my mobile for the typical IMAP client. It's strange, because I have a different E71 also update to this same firmare and Nokia Messaging works fine and creates the Nokia Messaging account.How could use Nokia Messaging with my E71?. Is there some way to create a Nokia Messaging account form the web instead from the phone?.
When I edit a contact to assign it a ringtone or text tone, I get a different list than the sounds in the Notification center. It shows far fewer ringtones, and it doesn't even show me any text tones.
This is what the notification list looks like, and it has all the sounds- alarms, ringtones and text tones:
This is what I see when I edit a contact. Not only does it look like crap, it doesn't even contain any text tones when I select "+Text tone":
The two lists are different! Why I can't pick the same sounds for contacts?
I just got a Lumia 950, set up all my accounts, added Skype, and now my Skype messages show up in the app AND in my Messaging hub. I wouldn't mind, but now I'm getting Messaging alerts AND Skype alerts that I have new messages when I receive a Skype message. I did find a setting in Skype that turns off the messaging alerts for Skype messages, but they're still showing up, even when I'm using Skype on my PC. In two hours of work this morning this has gone past confusing to the point of being annoying.
On my L930 (10586), I was able to go to the Messaging app and send a text to someone via Skype. That is, at the top right, there was a drop-down to select "SIM" or "Skype".
Now, it just says "SIM Text" and "No SIM", which I'm guessing means the missing SIM 2.
Is this another Dual-SIM thing (like VMM appears to not work with Dual-SIM phones) or am I doing sing wrong?
Both my 1020 and my gf's 1520 won't send pictures through messaging sharing, on our new att service. Idk if this is phone related or service related, It just says can't send message, try again.
few days ago I transfered some photo albums from my computer to my phone and then I deleted them using my pc. Now the photos are no longer present in file explorer , but when I want to attach a photo or a video from an app like WhatsApp or Viber it keeps on showing previews of deleted albums. I can see those photos but when I try to select tem a message pops up "Impossible to open photo. It could be lost or damaged".
My newly purchased (yet going to be exchanged) 950 is glitchy at best; but I do not know why Settings > System > Messaging, and turn on Text backup is not showing as an option on my phone. The software is up to date.I am swtiching back to the preferable windows 8.1 (Lumia 640) but I would like to have all the new texts that accumulated on the 950. How to backup new text messages. I have to return the 950 back to AT&T by Friday, Dec 18 to avoid paying for something I will never use. Not want to do a factory reset as I will lose what I am trying to maintain.
When I take pictures on my Lumia 1520 they come out crystal clear and with great quality. But as soon as I try to send the picture via text messaging to friends or family the pictures are distorted and/ or very small. I've looked through my settings to see if I could simply change the picture settings,
When I am using a headset or a headphone in my N8 and someone calls me or send me a message, I can hear the tone from the headphone and from the phone speaker.So thats's my question: Is that possible to deactivate the tone of the phone speaker when I am using the headset so I can hear it only from the headset?
I just bought a lumia 950XL dual-sim from Microsoft, and it is a great phone. However, I am having a lot of issues with the messaging app right now. It takes a very long time to load the app and the individual conversations. When sending texts it takes 3-10 seconds before sending. I deleted all the texts on my phone, which I had backed up and loaded.
I think this has been happening ever since the first release of 8.1. Basically if the phone sleeps while a messaging conversation is open, when I wake and unlock the phone, there will often be random gibberish in the compose field. So if I want to send a message, I first have to erase the gibberish.
idk, it's just weird and annoying and I can't figure out what's causing it. My best guess is that it has something to do with typing in the pin code to unlock the phone... which I just realized I should try and test with and without having to type in the pin.
I am trying to assign one of the built-in ring tones in the General profile, but there are no ringtones available except for "beep" and "Nokia tone" The other tones for IM, email, SMS are available but no ring tones. I should mention that I have already flash the phone firmware with the PR 1.2 (India) update.
Just bought a 2720 and have not found how to assign a seperate ring tone to a set contact number like I used to be able to do with my samsung, anyone know if this can be done on the nokia or can only 1 ring tone be used.
Nokia 3110 Classic.I can hear the kepad tones I cannot hear the ringing tones.This has recently happened. Up to now everything has been fine. Probably finger trouble.The volume is at maximum.I only have the standard ring tones.I cannot hear them when a call is received and also not when selecting them from Settings/ Tones/ Ring tone/More/Open gallery/Tones/Ring tones.I can hear the tones through the hands free earphone, both when a call is received and when selecting them .Being able to hear the keypad tones, with the handset not plugged in, I think means the mechanical speaker cutoff is not involved.
I have a Nokia 2680_s mobile phone. I have imported a "Tone" that I realize now is far too long,. as It took up 1.7 MB space. I now can't seem to Delete it. It was transferred using Blue tooth technology. Any clues on how to Delete it would be very much appreciated.
When I set ringtones on my new xpressmusic 5800, they don't play. I tried to browse the phone's memory for them to listen, but didn't see them anywhere.Is there a simple way to preview the various ringtones / alert tones?
Guys, I need your help. I'm facing some problem with my Nokia N97 Ringing Tones. I have set my Ringing Tones to my ideal tones but sometime the ringing tones does not ring in the ideal tones I selected. It become default Nokia Ringing Tones. Anybody can help me. Maybe NOKIA can answer.
I have 2 email accounts on my E5, gmail for personal use, mail for exchange for work use. Does anyone know if I can have seperate alert tones for the 2 accounts. I currently have the same tone for both accounts which is confusing when a new email comes through as I don't know which account to look in first, this happens at least every 10 minutes.
