I was at an AT&T store about to purchase the Strive when the sales rep told me that the conversational text only works if the other party also is using the Strive. Is that correct? Seems dumb if it is.
I just picked up a Samsung Strive and installed Google maps.The "my location" function is active but says it is "temporarily not available".Now, according to the specs this phone has a GPS, but I can't find any GPS related setting in the menu.Does anyone more know any ways to fix this?
Recently got unlock code from AT&T and unlocked my daughters Samsung Strive a687, so it could be used with a new value plan at T-mobile. Calls and TXT messages seem to work fine, but am unable to get the MMS or media net (internet) working.T-mobile tried to help, as did Samsung, but all they were able to do was a factory reset which caused her to lose all her stored files.Does anyone know how to setup the Strive, to access T-mobile's network features?I know how to get to settings and where to enter Network connection information, but have yet to find any settings that work.

I just got a new Alltel Hue 2 and my GF has the doubletake and both of our phones do this. When you are texting with T9 is there a way to make the "0" cycle the words instead of having to select them from that popup menu?
My S2 is only about four or five months old and I recently started noticing that it is not alerting on text messages anymore. I checked the settings and the obvious stuff such as the volume being on and a ringtone for text notification is set. I just went to unlock my phone and I noticed that the phone did not play the click or pop noise as I hit the keys to unlock the phone. Again, the volume was on....maybe this is a larger issue...
I've managed to browse to an online forum (using the Google Search widget, I think!) on my phone - most things work fine, but if I hit "reply" to a forum post the text-box opens, and it even establishes a cursor in there - but my phone's keyboard does not pop up like it usually does if one clicks in a text-box. So I cant insert any text Insert text in forum box?It's a board based forum powered by Moodle, if that makes any difference?
I am new to the world of Android (previous BB User), I have both a gmail and an ISP email in my phone, and for some reason when i compose a ISP email, the body of the email is underlined, I have looked through the settings and cannot find anything that relates. If I send a email through gmail its is fine. I have even tried tapping the info in a notepad app, copy & paste into the body & it still underlines the body only
I sent an SMS text message to someone yesterday from the default Messaging app and could thereafter see it sitting there in the "Conversations" list. My phone then ran out of battery and turned itself off overnight after which I've since given it a full recharge. However, that text message I sent has now disappeared from the conversations list and although I can see the start of it under the contact's name in the Contacts app, it responds by telling me it's been deleted when I try to select it. I did see an option in the settings to "Delete Old Messages" which was enabled but given that I had a total of 1 text message on the phone then I assume that was not the culprit.
just like to say that this is my very first post in this forum. I have been the proud owner of my Samsung Galaxy S II for the past week now. Couple of things to ask that is annoying me a bit though, and just wondering if there's a solution to these. Consider these scenarios:
First one: I receive a text from a friend who says that he has a new number. Because he's in my contacts, I can simply add his number to it. So I open the text, I press the menu key and tap "Add to Contacts". I then find him and tap his name. Usually it appears underneath the rest of the numbers, but because he has Facebook and I've selected to have my friends from there appear in my contacts, it doesn't. Apart from manually typing it in myself, is there a way to add his number?
Secondly: I play some music using the built-in music player (Applications > Music). Once the track starts playing, I press the back button continuously until I reach the home page/idle screen. To go back into it quickly, I pull down the status bar down from the top, and tap the Music panel. From here, how can I go back to a previous screen within the Music player to select a playlist, switch to a new artist, etc? The back button this time returns you to the home/idle screen. The list button just shows the current playlist that is being played. What would be good is to see that scrolling menu at the top again.
Unable to receive or send text messages to anyone on my contact list ,except my wife's new galaxy 6 samsung phone. I have a new Samsung Galaxy 6 phone...
My Samsung S5 is receiving text messages out of order. If within a conversation I respond in a couple different messages. the next time the person I am talking to responds it is above my response but, should be below it. Is there any way I can correct this?
i have a samsung reclaim and during a call, when a text comes through the text notification is heard. which cuts off hearing the other caller. is there anyway to disable that?
Is there a way to access the predictive text dictionary on a Samsung 490 (Trance)?It has saved several 2 letter words that aren't actually words that screw up my messaging and yet I can't get it to save my name.
I have problem with texting with the phone so far because I cant receive incoming text (confirmation code AIM, etc). I can text conversation with my friend only if I text them first, otherwise they cannot reach me through text.
I keep accidentally texting people's landline phones. Is it possible to stop Android rather stupidly offering me people's home numbers and email addresses when composing SMS messages?
I have a problem with my calendar, syncing with MS Exchange.When i have a meeting in Outlook with a long description text, i'm not able to see the full text on the phone.Here is a greatly simplified example:'ve tried to look in account settings for my active sync account, but there appear to be no setting for adjusting the amount of data getting synced.
Can the I9100 read out the contents of a text message when in driving mode. Mine will read out the senders number but not the contents of the message. Am I missing something easy to fix/change?
when i first got my phone there was no issue receiving pictures from my husband in his text messages to me. now when he sends pictures it just says "downloading" but nothing ever comes through.
Can anyone tell me if there is a setting to allow a blinking light to let you have a missed call or text or e-mail without having to turn phone on out of sleep mode?
I was able to send and receive text messages on my Samsung Galaxy SII which I have had since July 2012. I am on Bell network. A Bell customer service agent told me that Bell needs to update their towers to accommodate the programs that newerSamsung phones are using.
I have a friend with a Samsung Gravity Touch on the Bell network and for texting it is defaulting to the ABC method when using the touch screen. Her preference would be to use T9 but we cannot figure out how to change the default.
Why am I unable to receive text messages from my husbands phone (Samsung Galaxy SII)? We are both on the sprint network and I can receive text messages from everyone else, regardless of the carrier or phone. I love my iPhone but when I can't text the most important person I need to, it's just ridiclious!
