225 - All incoming mms/sms end up in a folder call...

Hello!
I bought a Nokia 225 for my mum, cause it has a big display and ease of use. I don't live in the same country as her, so I can unfortunately not just pop over and help her when things don't work out.
I have bought an extra 8 gb memory card to the phone.
She calls me and says that she cannot receive sms and mms anymore. First she got 3 messages saying that the content was too big (it's mms with attachment with a photo taken with an iphone), and then they stopped coming altogether. At that time she had around 3-4 mms:es already in her inbox.
After some fiddling she said she found all the "missing" mmses in folder under Messages -> Alt. > Control messages, and the folder was called "block.medd" (block.mess).
I helped her save down all mms attachment to the memory card, and then we emptied the block.medd folder and her inbox. I sent one sms and mms to her as a test, and she received them fine.
I wonder, why did this happen, is her internal memory so small that it can only store 3-4 mms?? Where are those messages in block.medd stored? Can you somehow set the phone to automatically store messages she receives on the memory card so she won't have this problem?
Kind regards
anji

Hello, thanks for your reply!
They did not have any of those models in the store I was at (big elecntronic chain in Sweden). I guess I should have read up more, but my mum's old phone had stopped working, and she needed a new one asap. We choose this model because they had it on a special offer + the screen is so big, and her eye sight isn't the best anymore.
I guess I will look up the Nokie 301 to see if it's possible to still get hold of it, she cannot use this phone, if the internal memory can only hold 3-5 mmses, she got it specifically to be able to receive and look at pics of her grandchild, and it's too complicated for her to have to save down every pic to the memory card and delete all mms:es. Her old phone was not like that, it was a Nokia too, unfortunately I don't know the model by heart.

All incoming going into Spam folder

Since upgrading to Leopard - back up to external first, then clean install of Leopard, then re import files from backup. All incoming mail is going into the Spam folder .. everything on exceptions. Have looked for a simple explanation and searched but can't find the fix. Any suggestions out there

Solved .... the issue is/was Spam Sieve. The plug in had to be re-installed and all is back to normal.

I just bought an iPhone 5. My iPhone 4 has all my music on it, mail, mms, sms, notes, videos, photos and apps. How do I transfer the music etc to my new iPhone using icloud?

I just bought an iPhone5
To ensure my old iPhon4 was backed up i...
1. Deleted the iPhone4 backup from iTunes prefs(devices)
2. I then sycnched the iPhone4 to get a new backup of the old Phone.
I then installed my new iPhone5 from the fresh backup of the old iPhone4
This way i got my new iPhone5 exactly as my old iPhone4
Screens all looked the same, EVERYTHING the same.
Some minor adjustments were needed afterwards.
Hope this helps.

Help please...iphone5 when trying to make a call, after hitting green button to make call, screen goes straight back to keypad and all incoming calls go straight to voicemail, any ideas please? Everything else seems ok. No problem with sim or carrier

Hi...I have just obtained a secondhand iphone 5. I'm not technically minded and I don't understand 'geek speak' so please be gentle. I have done all I can think of to bottom this problem. I have switched on and off. Tried different o2 sims (including 2 brand new) that I know are fine, restored to factory settings, changed carrier from 'Auto' to O2 and spent ages on line with o2 chat but everything at their end is absolutely fine. Everything on the phone seems to be working apart from the phone aspect of things. All incoming calls go straight to voicemail and show on the phone as 'Cancelled calls' and when dialling out, I can key in the numbers and get the keypad tone (not dialling tone) but as soon as I press the green key to make the call, all that happens is the keypad pops back up onto the screen. The phone was bought on ebay as an o2 phone (the photo showed Giffgaff on the phone's screen but I understand this to be one and the same?) and as being 6 months old but I have put the serial number into the support website and...surprise surprise..,it must be at least twice that age as the warranty has expired. I have made 2 attempts to have a web chat with Apple Support, have reached the 'You're all set, we'll be with you in 2 mins' and have been left hanging there for over an hour on each occasion, so I've given that up as a bad job!! Any help will be much appreciated...and also, will Apple charge me £25 for each of the aborted chat attempts, please? Over to you...hopefully and many thanks in anticipation.

My phone works all fine when am in mumbai but as soon s i leave mumbai I am not able to make an otgoing call
This is entirely a carrier issue. If your carrier (airtel) doesn't provide service outside of Mumbia, this has nothing to do with your iPhone.
i feel i need to change my brand

E55 Incoming MMS Images Too Small

I have a E55 bought as sim free but on O2 - a brilliant phone. All my incoming MMS message images are very small thumbnail size, too small to be of use. It's not a settings issue with the sender. I have researched this problem all over the internet and it's not clear if it's a phone set up problem (I've checked out all settings which seem ok) or if O2 network cannot recognise the phone (they don't sell it) so send images small as their default. I've had this problem previously on other sim free phones on O2.
Surely there must be a solution as it appears to be very common? O2 customer support cannot help, as you might expect. Anyone any idea?
On a separate note, is there any good S60 software around to tweak the phone under the surface, like there is for windows mobile phones? Is it possible to edit system configuration files and, if so, how and where are they?
Thanks

have you checked your mms settings and looked at image size
go to menu/messages /options/settings/multimedia/image size
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Low Resolution incoming MMS 2014 Moto X

Im having an issue on on my 2014 Moto X running Android 5.0, no matter what messaging app I use incoming MMS are less than 30kb but I can send at the normal 700kb. <30kb is an extremely unusable resolution. Factory reset my phone and tried Verizon messaging plus which worked for one incoming MMS but subsequent messages were back to <30kb, and multiple resets later Ive gotten no inprovement. Went into a Verizon store and checked my APN settings against different phones which were identical. Verizon employees had no explanation either. Not sure if its a Verizon issue or Motorola issue but needs to be fixed. Also note I've tried both in and off WiFi

Thank you for clarifying. It sounds like at this point we've completed all troubleshooting possible with your device. It may very well be a software issue that may be fixed with Motorola's next software update. We may be able to look into the manufacturer's warranty if you'd like an immediate resolution. Is the device is free of physical or water damage?

SMS messages sent to your phone will NOT appear on the iPad. The iPad is only capable of handling iMessages.

Better quality larger pictures on incoming MMS on ...

Does anyone know how to change the picture quality and size on incomming MMS messages on the N97 mini? I use to get great quality pictures on my N958GB but the ones on my N97 are horrible even when I fwd them to my email.
Joel

So the update will fix the picture messages? or are you talking about a firmware update? I will call Nokia then and see if they will send the update thanks
Edit:
I so thought you were talking about Nokia Nevermind I have called T-Mo and they do not have the ability to fix the problem for small MMS the configurator as far as I know only sends APNs and such not something that will setup the correct picture size and I spoke with tech they said it was something that would need to be fixed on T-Mobiles end.

Kann keine MMS/SMS verschicken!

Hallo,
kann mir jemand helfen. Kann keine MMS/SMS verschicken! Seit Monaten geht nichts mehr. Schon alle möglichen und unmöglichen Einstellungen probiert, Neustart, SIM-Karte raus und rein, auch mit der automatischen Konfigurationsdatei vom Provider (Simyo). Diese Datei geht überhaupt nicht. Die behaupten sogar das liegt an Apple. Bisher ging ich davon aus, das der Fehler vor dem Computer/Handy sitzt, also ich. Langsam glaube ich das nicht mehr. Die Leute von Simyo sind nicht wirklich ein Hilfe. Nur BlaBla und zum Schluss nur noch schweigen. Ich habe ein iPhone 4S mit iOS 6.1.3
Grüße Coloril

Hallo,
Danke für die Info!
ich suche eigentlich keine neue App, sondern die Frage bezog sich auf die Standard-App "Nachrichten. Falls dies damit nicht funktioniert, suche ich dann eine ähnliche App, allerdings kostenlos und in deutsch.

Sporadic loss of MMS/SMS

8350i w/OS 5.0; carrier: Sprint/Nextel. problem persists from day 1 (2 years ago) thru all OS upgrades. For no ascertainable reason, MMS/SMS sporadically stops working (email/phone/internet not affected). The only way I know is when I try to text out and get the red "x" or friends call me and ask why I haven't returned their texts. Fixed by turning off then on (hard reset not necessary) - then texts come pouring through. I've called tech assistance. Followed their instructions. They did some resets over the air. Made me change a few settings. Nothing has worked. Still have this annoying problem.

I have the same problem!

All incoming calls divert to "Sorry, you can't lea...

Help please!
I recently cancelled 1571. Since then all incoming calls divert immediately to a message saying: "Sorry, you can't leave a message at the moment" and then disconnect.
Everything else works fine (outgoing calls, broadband), and since the voice message sounds exactly like 1571 it seems pretty obvious that something went badly wrong with the 1571 cancellation.
I have had some lovely conversations with 151 and with the online chat people who have seem to have no idea how to fix the problem.
I see from the forum that this type of problem has been encountered before over several years and the only way to get it fixed appears to be to post on here and wait for the BT people who monitor them to spot it and come to my rescue.
So HELP! <waves flag> Here I am, please come and rescue my phone line from the 1571 gremlin.
Dave

I just cannot believe I'M READING THESE POSTS AND THAT OUR EXPERIENCES HAVEN'T FED THEMSELVES BACK TO THE PEOPLE WHO MATTER AT BT. (Sorry hit caps lock!) I have had exactly the same experience as you all and I have been on the phone for hours trying to get the message through to the people on the end of 151 that the problem is obviousky with the 1571 system. I got to the point three days ago when there was a glimmer of hope that my word was being accepted about the problem. I was upgraded to speak tp a 'supervisor' or similar, who said that 1571 would be reconnected to see if people could then the get through again - beyond the scary message. Of course the moment it was reconnected the phone line was fine. He promised me that he would ring back yesterday to check the situation but I heard nothing. SO I got back onto 151 and had all the same discussions again. I asked why I had been promsied a return call - no explanation. Everything was clealry on notes on his computer but I had to go through the same questioning about answer machines at home etc etc. I suggested that the 1571 system was so complex that few people at BT have any clue that it is capable of giving the recorded message that we have all reported. He said he knew all the 1571 FACILITIES AND THAT NO SUCH MESSAGE CAN BE SWITCHED ON. (Hit it again sorry) I can't tell you how relieved I am to read your posts acknowledging the same experience. I am now waiting for 1571 to be switched off again to see what happens, and he has promised to ring me back on Monday afternoon at 2.00pm (5th January 2014). I also got a letter from BT welcoming me to the 1571 service and explaining that it will now cost me £1.75 per month - I've had it for years and the reason I want it turned off is to save the new charges. I fell totally exhausted with th whole affair. Happy New Year, and best regards.

When I do a backup of iPhone/iPad, are my MMS/SMS saved incrementall?

This is to say:
I usually do a backup. If, after a while, I get loaded down with SMS/MMS messages on my iPhone I want to delete them conversations.
I don't want to lose all of my older messages from the past.
When iTunes does a backup of the device, does it do a backup of the CURRENT state of the messages on the device and overwrite what was backed up earlier? In that case, everything that was old would be deleted.
Or does iTunes do incremental backups? Stuff from 2012 and 2013 backed up. If I back up stuff now, even if I deleted some conversations in MMS/SMS, that won't affect what's already backed up, right? Just means there's nothing to add to the backup that already exists?

A backup via either iCloud or iTunes will capture what is currently on your phone and is only designed to restore the entire backup to your phone or another iOS device in the event of a problem. The restore would include only the things in the last backup and would restore not just messages but everything included in the backup. If you want to keep a complete history of your messages you should explore a 3rd party method such as http://www.wideanglesoftware.com

I can call out but all incoming calls are going directly to VM with no signal that I missed a call or have VM. I can send/receive text messages from other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users, I am assuming this is really "iMessage." Is it apple software?

I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
Problems: Suddenly ALL incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive) other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before. Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?

jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

Do you have an option for block all incoming message and request EXCEPTED messages from my contacts?

Please help!!To whom it may concernDear Madam/Sir who works for Skype & Microsoft Dear all who can really help, Do you have an option for block all incoming message and request EXCEPTED messages from my contacts? or Do you have any solution to solve my problem from begin to now in present time? Even though, I set the Privacy settings: - Allow calls from... "people in my Contact list only"- Automatically received video and share screens with "people in my Contact list only"- Allow IMs from "people in my Contact list only" I still received unknow users sent me messages in every day, contact requests etc. And they're all clearly spammings and identity thefts. I only wanna contact with my family and my freinds here with Skype via my Windows device and my mobile phone (w/Android OS). And this is the only way to contact with them, because they could use Skype only in overseas. BUT I don't need new friend from other unknow Skype member. I keep blocked all unknow spammers in every day. However in this morning, I feel so scared with Skype on my mobile, I looked at my mobile Skype, I saw it automatically showed me the list of all blocked members. BUT they were all unblocked (contact unblocked) by my mobile (Android version) Skype itself automatically, and listed them one by one on the screen, and about 30 seconds later, they all were disappeared suddenly. I don't know what do to now, is it indicating my account was hacked?And how could I found out all those members again and block them again and delete all of them for ever? I appreciate if you would improve the privacy protection. Thank you very very very much.

Hrm... that may be true and this may be a function of the phone email client that Apple just doesn't do.
No, I can easily MANUALLY delete the messages. I would prefer if I didn't have to do it twice, tho. Once on the mail server and once on the phone.
What I think the phone needs to do is, when it checks the POP, anything NOT there should be removed locally. I think you are correct on POP; the phone will poll the mx (mail exchanger) and the mx will pass off the messages to the phone. The phone then keeps ALL of that unitl you manually delete it.
If, say, I remove a message from the mx, I would like the phone, when next polls, to see that that particular message isn't on the server anymore and remove it locally.
Perhaps it's just me but if I delete the message on the mx itself, via my ISP's webmail interface, I really don't want to have to remove it again from my phone.
thxs!
cheers
