Xperia Mini/pro :: How To Change Number Of Rings Before Call Goes To Messaging
Nov 9, 2011
I find this phone difficult to use, for even the simplest things. I'm trying to change the number of rings for an incoming phone call before the phone goes to messaging.
I have a Torch 9800 and am trying to change the number of rings for an incoming call before it goes to voicemail? I followed the instructions in the documentation, but when I go to the phone app, then to options, it says I should have a 'General Setting' option and I don't. Cannot find it anywhere!
I dont like the conversation set up in in text messaging, is there anyway you can change the settings to just show the messages instead of being grouped as a conversation?
I am not able to send messages though I receive messages. When I called my service provider then they said to change the message service center. But I cannot find the way to change it in my Phone i.e Xperia Mini Pro (andriod 2.3 OS)
has anyone tried to change the default phone call screen? I find it rather annoying because it's easier to touch with my ear the two top edges and the result is that the call get muted or i get the speaker on.
Been a happy Sprint user since 2005 and have used various dumb phones and smartphones. The Photon is my 3rd Android.I have noticed that each phone , whether smartphone or not, has the same issue that has caused me to miss incoming phone calls here and there - the caller dials my number and hears several rings before my phone actually starts ringing. The phone goes to voicemail before I have the opportunity to answer the phone.The solution for my phones has always been to adjust the Slot Cycle index from the default setting of 2 to the setting of 0. This causes the phone to poll towers more frequently, thus the phone is more quickly aware of a new incoming call. The only negative implication is that the phone goes through battery a bit more quickly during the day...but it's really only a tiny difference. I've done this on my phones, on my spouse's phones, my mom's phone, etc.
Since the Photon's battery life is so much better than my prior phone (EVO 4G) I am very comfortable in adjusting the Slot Cycle index, so I obtained my MSL from Sprint and attempted the adjustment by going to the Dialer:##DATA# ->tap green Dial icon -> to the Data Settings menu...tap Advanced->From there you can see that the Slotted Index is set to 2. So I wanted to change the setting but can't get to it from Menu->Edit->enter MSL code->VerifyI called Sprint about this issue, and in the past they have helped me to change the setting. I have called more than once and have been dealing with the more advanced Tech Support team. No one at Sprint can figure out how to adjust this setting on the Photon.
Basically, I can't change my messaging centre name or number, can't delete it, can't change it, can't make a new messaging centre "profile". I have: Restored the factory settings.Contacted my network.When contacting my network (o2), I was told to try resetting the factory settings and if this didn't work, try the sim card in a different (unlocked) phone to see if I could send text messages. After trying it in my old phone I found I could send messages, so I called my network back and was told to contact Nokia. When trying to change the messaging centre (Even with NO sim card in the phone) I get the following error message: "Unable to change setting. Value read from SIM card".
I usually use my mobile as an alarm clock. All handsets I had until now where ringing even they where off. I can't the same with my new X10 mini. I don't want to have the handset on all night near my head. I'm using Android 2.1
Call forwarding Curve absoluty will not take a new number all I can do is turn forwarding off or use the phone number that is in the drop down menu in the last step.
This is very frustrating! My phone has recently started ringing when I'm receiving incoming call but the screen remains idle and doesn't display who's calling. It also doesn't display the answer/ignore options and will continue to ring until I switch the phone off! I have also been receiving 'Unknown' calls from known numbers too.
I have looked through your forums and have read the Settings/Personalisation/Manage Notifications fix. I am in the UK however and my settings don't appear to have these options at all. I am a carer for my 2 year old daughter and depend on my phone for doctor/hospital appointments, physio, emergencies etc. I have a few months left on the contract and if I am very tempted to settle contract early as the phone is no use to me while it is doing this.
Is there a way to dial a contact directly from the Messaging App? For example, I get an SMS message and go to read it. I want to call that person. I have to tap on their name on the top of the screen, then I have to wait, then I am taken to their contact information, where I have to select a number to call. Is there a way to simply call them from the Messaging app without all the other steps? My previous old phone I could just hit the phone button and bingo the phone would call the number. The menu doesn't have a Call contact option, but maybe I'm missing something. What about an add on app that adds the option?
I just got the Z3 and am having an issue with my contacts. When I go to select a contact to call it displays the fax number as default to call. Is there a away to change that? It does it for all contacts that have a fax number, the Phone icon shows up beside the fax number.
When I receive a message or try to type a message my phone is continually freezing. the message "the applicatioon Messaging (processcom.sonyericsson.conversations) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again." The only option is "force close". Messaging in general is very slow as some of my conversations are very long with many messages. However when i try to delete these conversation the same message comes up.
I've just registered on here after searching for a similar issue without luck, so apologies if I've missed a thread!Carried out the 2.1 upgrade the other night, and since then whenever I write a text message, the suggested word box only gives me words from my contacts list. e.g. if I write "to" the phone suggest "Tommy" and I then need to manually select "to" from the list of words.
It makes no difference whether I have the spellcheck set to auto, manual or off I get the same suggested list - it's as if the phone has lost its dictionary, and can only use the contacts list as a point of reference.
Since I updated the software on my phone, the SMS messaging crashes all the time.
It was pretty slow before, but now it's unusable. I have tried app killer applications and tried deleting messaging history but it just can't seem to handle a simple request.
I love this phone, there's no other phone out there with the same design and shape, but I'm getting seriously fed up as this is not the first problem I've had. I think I will try a different manufacturer next time - SE have let me down.
How to increase the maximum sms messaging as after typing in and consuming 1st page for the text message, it will automatically have the mms settings which will not work for me. Also accessibility settings is grayed out and cannot be chosen..
I have a Xperia mini pro SK17i and i've been using it for about 5 months now.. sometimes when i slide out the keyboard, the unit restarts.. and sometimes when playing music or when it's in my pocket it restarts.. i dont know why.. i message alot and i have about 5000 texts under one number.. whenever i want to send a message to that number i have to wait about 45 seconds for the conversation to load.. and while typing the wait/force close popup comes for messaging.. this is very annoying.. sometimes when in a hurry it restarts or messaging section freezes.. i've updated this to the latest firmware (4.0.2.A.0.62) and i did a full flash using SEUS about 3 months back.. but the problem still exists
