Xperia X10 :: Setting Default Numbers For Messages, Calls, Etc. For Individual Contacts?
Jun 5, 2010
it is possible to set default numbers in my phone for text messages and phone calls for individual contacts? I would like to set up the phone so it defaults to mobile phone numbers for text messages, so I don't accidentally try to send a text message to a landline.
I assigned individual ringtones to my contacts in contact list but when they call, the default ringtone is ringing.Does anyone know how to fix it? I guess this situation accured after I erased everything on my iPhone and installed backup from my computer. I searched everywhere on internet but couldn't find anything, and then this idea came up; I deleted all the assigned rigntones, created a new backup on my computer then deleted all contacts and installed the backup but still when I assign a ringtone to a specific contact it's still ringing default ringtone when she calls.. Btw I also checked for duplication errors, there is only one for each contact..
I've tried the 'blacklist' option but it seems that people can find out that I've blacklisted them. Is there a more discreeet way where they can't find out?
The names of contacts from iphone does not appear in the recent calls, only numbers. I think the settings are different, eg, the numbers appear in the contacts: (333) 333-3333 and the recent calls appears :3333-3333.
I want to change the sms delivery tone or volume . have it as a separate setting from the generic notifications . Its so annoyin havin the report go off , and have to check in case its a real message , but i do want to keep the reports .my fone isnt rooted , just the latest update .
I always give my closest friends individual ringtones to separate them from all the other texts that I get. So I went to their contact info, added notification field and then changed their notification tone. But for some reason when they text me, they still come up as the default notification as like every other text does. Why can't I customize the text notifications by adding a different text notification to each of my contacts that I want a different notification tone for?
I've noticed that in hangouts, I've set an individual custom ringtone for someone, and every single time I reboot my phone, it resets that particular ringtone to the stock ringtone that I have set.
I cannot find a setting that allows me to keep my text messages from being broken into many individual messages. The same happens to messages I receive. A single message may be broken up into seven or eight individual messages, which most often are not even in the proper order when received, or sent. Most text messages on other phones are one block.
I just got my BB lastnight I am just wondering can I have different ringers for different people and also a different ringer for my messages? I can not find out where to go to set it all up.
i used to use some call blocking apps like Mr.Number n then tried Call Blacklist(one after another).. I uninstall all of it as i have no more use of it.. But the thing is, a particular number that i used to block is still being blocked. Is this an issue from the Call Blocker software or system software?
how to set the phone up so that I can view incoming/missed calls numbers? what happens now that all phone calls are just recorded as "unknown"on the screen, even for those I've already saved in the contact list. or should I contact my network provider which is optus in Australia?
I cannot set default ringtones for calls and SMS in Settings. I do the folowing for:
1. call: select Breeze melody in Sound section of the Settings.
2. SMS: select Sinus melody in Sound section of the Settings.
That's all.After several calls sound settings change:
1. call: automatically select f..king Tonga ringtone in Sound section of the Settings.
2. SMS: automatically select Notification ringtone in Sound section of the Settings.No matter what ringtones to choose from. They are always changing to Tonga and Notification.What can I do?
I have the Xperia Z3 from Tmo and when I see my contacts I see the pictures on them but when I call them or they call me I get the blank default picture for them during the call. I have verify I dont have multiples contacts of the same or multi pictures. I reset the phone and in the first sync everithing was OK but after like one hour again the same probpem. I reset it and installed all apps one by one to see if one of them was giving me the error but everithing was OK after I intall them and after some hours again the same thing. I like this phone and I dont whant to go back to ios.
I have an Xperia Z3 Dual phone. I have a coorporation SIM inserted in SIM1 and a mobile net SIM for 4G connection in SIM2. That means SIM2 can't even handle phone calls, only mobile internet.
But since there isn't any options to choose default SIM for outgoing calls (ie. similar like mobile internet has already), a message pops up every time I would start a call, to choose SIM. That is really annoying considering only SIM1 can handle phone calls.
(But that would be kind the same if I'd like to use coorporation SIM for outgoing calls and use private SIM only for receiving calls...)
I recently purchased an xperia ray to which I moved my old SIM from SE K700i. The SIM had many contacts with multiple phone numbers (mobile number, house number.etc) under a single name, but when I viewed it on xperia ray , it shows duplicate names but with different numbers under the Mobile category. Is there a way to merge these names and bring all the different numbers into Mobile, House, Others etc under one name.I searched and found some answers for "Merging" but all were referring to merging different names with common phone numbers, but what I need is just the opposite. If there is already a discussion and solution to this , please give the reference.
Im a deaf user of a xperia z3+, I need to prefix all my calls with 18001, but Im unable to send a text with this prefix, in my contacts when I go to send a text it will prefix the 18001, how can I set this to be able to send a text without the prefix 18001.
Can't see my contacts phone numbers on the Bluetooth connection to my car now I have updated the Andriod to 2.1. I could see them before on Andriod 1.6.
I would like to for example to sleep in while listening to some book or music, but without having it repeating itself all night... I feel super stupid for not figuring out how to turn the repeat off, or are the settings of this phone the ones who are stupid? After all, there is a "random"-setting, which isn't that user friendly either..
My sk17i mini pro received an update (Build Number 4.0.2.A.0.62, i believe?) a few days ago and since then when making/receiving calls the loudspeaker is always on by default, rather than the ear speaker. This didn't happen before. This isn't a major problem but now I have to switch to the ear speaker during every phone call. (By the way, the loudspeaker volume is superb!)Is there a way to set the ear speaker to default for phone calls?
When I receive group messages (whether from iphone, android, or windows) they show up in individual message threads. I have to download them, then they disappear from that thread and show up in the group thread.
I do not get a notification when they originally come through in the individual thread. I have to open my messages app and see an unread message. I do get a normal notification though once it has downloaded and transferred to the group thread.
I have group messages checked in the message settings I have data roaming checked in data usage settings I have AT&T I use the stock messaging
I also have this same issue if someone sends me a picture, no notification and it must be downloaded
Is it due to having background data restricted? I cannot turn it on to see if it changes anything because I have a small data plan and don't want to risk going over.......
I want to turn off the warning messages that pop up in the default message app (e.g. the message that shows the number of characters or number of messages). These messages pop up right in the text box and are very annoying, I often have to stop typing to wait for the message to go away so I can see what's been typed or to edit. How do I turn these off?
I use the default messaging app of X10. It used to have a backup feature with 1.6. The feature is not there in 2.1 app.How do i restore the messages backed up with 1.6 default messaging app in 2.1?
