Cannot view SMS Message Conversation History

Hello,
I have a Blackberry Curve 8310.  When I first got the phone, my SMS text message conversation history would be saved automatically.  Basically, I could look at any message and see all the prior messages below it (Messages that I sent and received).
Now, I can no longer see the messages that I sent in the history, only the ones that I received.  I changed my theme a couple of times, but I have put it back to the original theme, and it still does not save any message that I send.  My current theme is BB Dimension Icon. 
I have looked around in the options menus, and below are my settings for two relevant options:
Options -> SMS Text -> Number of Previous Items -> 20
Message Options -> General Options -> Hide Sent Messages -> No
I tried calling blackberry customer service, but they charge you apparently. 
Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

My suggestion would be to do a battery pull remove the battery while the phone is on and leave it out for 30 seconds. Replace it and allow the phone 1-3 minutes to reboot. Then get a friend and converse for a bit. Is it saving it now?

  • Cannot SEND SMS messages on 8130

    Here's my story:
    1.  I upgraded to a Blackberry Pearl 8130 in pink earlier this year.      My carrier is Verizon.
    2.  Recently (say a month ago), a friend sent a text message to me from her new phone.  I attempted to text her back, but received a big fat red X indicating that my message did not go through.  Specifically, when I open my message, the error says, "Mobile equipment status failed."
    3.  I went to Verizon.  They did something where I think they took me off the network and then put me back on.  This did nothing.  She wanted to do a hard set on the phone, but I had not backed up my data yet. 
    4.  I went home and backed up my data and went back to Verizone about a week later.  I spend over an hour in the store.  The gentleman that was helping me was on the phone with someone (presumably technical support) to no avail.  He was ready to order me a replacement phone, but after further discussion with tech support, they thought there was an issue with the network, not my phone.  I went home with a case number.
    5.  The very next day Verizon called me.  They indicated that it wasn't a network issue and that it was my phone.  They were going to send me a replacement.
    6.  I received my replacement phone a couple of days later.  I was anxious to get it set up, but the results have been the same.    I have not yet returned to Verizon.  I thought I'd try here first to see if anyone had any ideas.
    The bottom line: 
    I CAN send/receive e-mails. 
    I CAN send a MMS message. 
    I CAN receive SMS messages. 
    I CANNOT send SMS messages.
    Thank you for any advice you may have.

    Solved!

    Two months later and I finally ..yes FINALLY figured out the SMS issue I previously mentioned on my own out of sheer frustration. I have a Pearl 8130. First ..thanks to everyone for the previous suggestions for resolution here on this board, Google and other areas I've searched many times over however ..none of the suggetions or options worked ..ie, battery pull, *228, calling Alltel tech support many times, going to the Alltel store etc.. you name it I tried it. Guess what? And this is for anyone else who may have had the same problem.. sad to say it was a very simple change in the settings that resolved the "X SMS error 0, Message ID 99"  response on every single text (sms) I tried to send.
    1.) Click the Call Log icon
    2.) Select the menu button (immediate right of the track ball)
    3.) Select Options - this will give you a list that begins with "General Options" ..etc
    From this list..
    4.) Select Smart Dialing
    From here you will see an option for "Use "1" for National Dialing" 
    If it on the default setting of "no" change it to "yes"
    Save your selection as normal and you should be good to go.
    The funny thing in all of this ..I was recently in Southern California (I live in Arizona) and while there I had absolutely no trouble whatsoever sending or receiving. Upon my return to AZ the problem resurfaced and I have to admit that after 7yrs with Alltel (soon to be Verizon) I am truly disappointed with tech support for the very first time. A simple default setting needed to be changed ~sigh~
    Hope this works for anyone else who is having issues ..specifically Alltel/Verizon.

  • CANNOT send SMS messages with ADDRESS BOOK on POWERBOOK using iPHONE

    I cannot send SMS messages with my address book or dial phone numbers using my Powerbook via the iPHONE.
    Previously, with my Sony Ericson phone, I could do both. It's very useful, when you are at your laptop, to use your computer keyboard to send SMS text messages back and forth rather than using the clumsy small keys on a phone.
    Can someone help?
    Is there something I am missing?

    You are not missing something here and no one here can help you. This is not an included Bluetooth profile with the iPhone at the present time anyway.
    If you purchased your iPhone within the last 14 days, you can return it for credit less a 10% restocking fee and if not, here is Apple's feedback link for the iPhone.

    Cannot view saved messages on iPad but it's taking up 1.7 GB of space under "Usage".

    Restore.  Note that it's not quick.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.

  • When my iPhone 5s is paired with my 2014 Lexus Rx350 I am able to view text messages but cannot view email messages in the car display screen. My previous Blackberry Torch would read both text and email messages. Does anybody know how to fix?

    When I pair my new iPhone 5S in my 2014 Lexus it displays and allows me to read the SMS messages off my phone on the car display but it does not display or allow me to read email messages. When pairing my previous Blackberry Torch the car displayed and allowed me to read both. Lexus have told me it is an Apple problem and not a Lexus problem which may be true as the BB phone worked great. Does anybody know if Apple is planning an iPhone update for this? 

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

  • Cannot view full message box in right corner

    I recently upgraded my operating system to OS Mountain Lion (version 10.8.2).  Since then, I cannot view the full message boxes in the top right hand corner of my screen....half the message is cut off and I cannot seem to move the box over.  Can someone assist?  The message box is part of my garmin map updater software that alerts me to update my maps.
    Thanks

    At least some portion of every window is supposed to be drawn ON the screen.
    If that message is too far toward the edge, you could try reducing the screen resolution to something very narrow, like 640 by 480 if supported. The hope is that this will place the message box off-screen, so that the System would have to move it back toward the home position to keep it on-screen. When you switch back (presuming the box is still there) it will be firmly on-screen and can be moved into a position you like better.

  • Cannot view new messages after setting up Gmail

    I had problems setting up my IMAP so had to delete my Gmail account and reinstall. Anyway, I have about 12K emails, and can view some, but I have 200 new message that I CANNOT View.
    Any suggestions??? I've tried nearly everything.
    Should I disable POP is IMAP is enabled?
    Thanks

    Update: message sent from Mozilla to confirm this new message does appear, so it seems that messages received today 9/26 that were sent before Thunderbird updated to 31.1.2, are not viewable. The header appears but not the message itself. Messages created before midnight are appearing, this is most strange. Maybe the messages from today will appear after midnight.

  • I cannot view video messages I have received

    I am using version 6.18.0.106 of Skype on my desktop computer (Windows 7).  A friend sent me a video message several days ago which I was able to view.  The following day, I tried to watch it again and received the message "Oops, something went wrong.  Please try again, or get in touch if you need help."  Later last night I received two new video messages.  I spotted them this morning when I signed in and tried to view them.  I received the same informational message.  No matter how many times I try to view these messages, I get the same message.  It is especially useless because it does say who I should contact.  I get the same message every time I attempt to create a video message.  
    Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello there,
    I have EXACTLY the same issue as Sojo1951.. I too am using the latest version of Skype on Windows 7.
    I can watch recorded video messages from contacts on my Smart Phone, but mot on my PC.
    This is quite frustrating as I have scoured the message boards, and no one seems fo have an answer to what is seemingly a common problem.
    Any help would be appreciated..
    Sojo1951, did you ever manage to rectify this problem??

  • Cannot send SMS messages on iPhone 4

    I purchased an iPhone 4 yesterday and it is allowing me to ring people but I can't seem to send or recieve sms messages or recieve phonecalls and when I ring someone it says 'withheld number'? Whats happening and why can't I send messages?

       Are you in an area with sufficiant radio signal?  Try the following:
    Move near a window
    Go for a walk
    Locate and avoid thick metal ceilings
    Avoid microwaves and similar devices
      Once you are in a proper area, try the following:
    Open Settings
    Activate Airplane Mode
    Wait five to ten seconds
    Deactivate Airplane Mode
    Allow radio and Wi-Fi signals to recooperate
    Reattempt your SMS message

  • HT2500 CANNOT VIEW NEW MESSAGE TOOLBAR

    How can I get the new message toolbar. I am using mac mini with OS X version 10.7.03 and mail version 5.2 (1257).
    When I write a new email I have to open the address book in the dock to find my contacts. Makes emailing to several people very slow. I know how to set up groups and am able to do that. I want the option to go through my addresses the way I do when using aol.com to send messages.

    Thanks for the help! I opened a new message and clicked on view in the toolbar, clicked on customize toolbar, and then dragged the address icon up to the new message toolbar. Works!

  • After 31.1.2 update cannot view new messages in pane or separate window

  • Cannot send sms message using version 7.0.3

    I have checked all of the settings against the User Manual and tried all of the topics in the trouble shooting section of the Apple website.  I have compared the phone settings against another i phone which can send to the specific address.  There are no problems sending an i message.

    My wife and I were having same issue after upgrading to iOS 7.0.3.  I called apple support and they said it was because we were using the same Apple ID for iMessage/FaceTime on both iPhones. I created a new Apple ID (just for iMessage/FaceTime) on my phone and it seems to have fixed my issues. Using original Apple ID on my wife's phone and mms hasn't started functioning for pics yet on that device. iMessage is working fine however. We always turned the email part of iMessage/FaceTime off, so I'm not sure why it started being an issue now. FYI, I was told that iMessage and FaceTime should use same Apple IDs.
