After I send a text to somone, if they answer me, there is no sound to notify me.  People do not always answer me right away, so I want a sound to occur everytime someone texts me, even if we are having a conversation.  Is there a setting?

Is there a setting so when I receive a text it will always make a sound- Even if I am in a conversation with someone?  People do not always answer my text right away so I don't know that they respond because there is no sound notification.

It will make a sound if i receive a text from someone.  The problem occurs when I am in a conversation with a person.  It only makes a sound the first time.  After that, no sound is made.  If they don't answer me right away, i don't know that they have responded and I miss a lot of texts.  I have the sound turned on and up and have a sound chosen for texts in settings.

  • Even after clearing cache Fire fox does not load my bank login site, while Safari always does it right away, so what is the problem?

    About half the times that I have tried to access my bank online Firefox fails to find the server and claims the site is unavailable. Immediately afterwards Safari hooks up to the same site, without delay.
    Why does Firefox fail so often, even when I keep my cache clear?
    What can be done to repair this fault?

    You've set up both devices to use the same email address for iMessage.  Don't do that.

  • After I send a text to a friend, his response goes to my daughters iphone. How to fix....can I get my own apple ID?

    After I send a text from my ihone to a friend, his response goes to my son's iphone. We were sharing an apple ID, if I change it to my own will that fix it?

    Yes go to settings, itunes and appstore, tap on the apple id, then tap sign out. Then you need to create your own apple id and go back in and sign in under your apple id. This will seperate Everything from your daughters account. Everything.

  • Prepaid account balance notification after i send a text or when i recieve one?

    Because i have a prepaid account, after i send a text message i get a notification of my account balance and what the last transaction cost. I have att/cingular...
    My question is....Is there any possible way to turn the sound off when i get this notification?
    I've tried every possible thing i know how to do...I've turned the sound off on my phone and it still "beeps".
    I have a blackberry pearl 8100.
    Please help!!!

    Nope, no way. ATT is going to send those and I "think" they come via SMS.
    You would need to either disable your SMS notifications.
    Or maybe create an exception in the profiles so that only SMS from ATT are silent, but I don't think this is possible.

  • What do the 3 dots mean after I send a text message on my iPhone 4?

    I dont understand if the 3 dots that appear after I send a message are saying that my message is sending or if the other person is replying when they appear?

    3 dots means that they are responding to your message.

  • Help? iPhone4 does not always dial out, receive calls or send and receive texts.

    My problem started about 8 days ago. I did nothing to my phone, changed no settings, yet last Tuesday it just stopped sending texts for a period of about 4 hours. I could not dial out. Basically, my phone was useless. I also noticed the 3G was not working. It would connect to my home wifi network but nothing else. It started working that night. During this past week, it has done this same thing off and on again. There is no particular pattern. The rest of my family have 3 phones (not Iphones, but basic cell phones through Verizon) and they have not had one issue. During my "blackout" periods, I will have them dial my phone and it will ring on their end for me, but my phone actually will not ring. What gives?? Also, when I am not able to receive or send texts, when my phone starts working again, I will receive all texts I could not get all at once. So, to me this strongly sounds like a Verizon issue within their network. Please help??

        Hi Elizabeth Cara, I like to help with the issues with your iPhone 4. The details you provided were great. However, I like to ask a few more questions. How often do you restart your iPhone 4? Are you mainly on the indoors when these issues occur? Even though you did not make any changes on your iPhone 4, it is good to double check make sure they are all set properly. Here are a two suggestions you can use. One is to reset your network settings via this link http://tinyurl.com/dxuf54m. Another suggestion is to do a ensure your Wi-Fi is disabled on your iPhone 4. Here are the steps http://tinyurl.com/bpekjpj. Give these options a try. Retest your iPhone 4 after each suggestion seeing if either helps with the issues reported.

    Hello tiffay8,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand you're not getting any audio output from your speakers when you're playing games.  Follow the steps below to resolve the issue:
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.

    Hi Kel134,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are having microphone issues on your iPhone when you place a call to someone and they cannot hear you unless you activate the speaker function. In this situation I would recommend the steps in the following article to help isolate and resolve the situation. 
    iPhone: Microphone issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5183
    Resolve the issue
    Follow these steps, testing after each.
    Make sure nothing is plugged in to the jack connector.
    Make sure nothing is blocking any of the microphones (refer to the pictures below to find your device's microphones). Check for these:
    Dirt or debris
    A screen protector or case
    When you're holding your phone next to your ear, make sure you don't block the microphone with your fingers or shoulder and make sure to speak into the microphone
    Turn the iPhone off and then on.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    If necessary, find general iPhone hardware troubleshooting suggestions.
    For further assistance, contact Apple Support.
    I hope this helps,

  • When someone texts my email address it no longers shows up as an email, only a imessage, how do I stop that from happening?

    when someone texts my email address it no longers shows up as an email in my inbox, only as a imessage, how do I stop that from happening?  I do not use imessage at all.

    This is not something on your end.  If they send an iMessage it will arrive as an iMessage, if the send an email it will arrive as an email.
    THey are sepearate services that cannot be mixed up.
    Tell them to send you an email, rather than an iMessage.
    If they are using the messages App it will always arrive as a Message.
