Compose Application Icon brings up call options instead of texting options

From the home screen on my BlackBerry Curve 8330, I open the "Compose" icon and select the contact (from my address book) that I want to text message. Sometimes, a message box will come up asking "SMS text which number?", sometimes it will ask "Call which number?", and sometimes it will just call the person. I don't understand why it even asks me which number I want to call (or why it automatically calls people for that matter) when I'm not even trying to call anyone. All I want to do is send a text message. I know there are other ways to send text messages and I am able to, I just want the "Compose" icon on my home screen (or desktop or whatever) to be functionable. If anyone knows what I am talking about, please help me.
Thank you so much!

Hi and welcome to the boards. Hoe I can explain this properly
When a contact has more than 2 phone numbers associated with it you'll always get the prompt to choose which number to send to. Then it will default to sending an SMS message
When a contact only has 1 phone number, then it nornally default to sending a SMS message
Same with an email address, if a contact has more than one you'll get prompted with email address you'd like to send to.
I'm not seeing where you're getting the "SMS Text" prompt at. I just tried with a contact that only had a phone number, and when I clicked on their name it immediately took me to the screen when I could start composing the SMS message.

So, i have to go to options and checked the number
I know i can put every number a contact but i don't want that
i want the icon to show properly like my nokia 6600
i have the latest firmware

it is a well known issue on the s60 devices, its a bug that as of yet has not been fixed. we dont know if it will ever get fixed, we are hoping that that will be the case, but this is nothing new so chances are not very high i think.

Downloading a file would bring up an option to open the file or save it - for some reason now it just downloads straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else?

Downloading a file would normally bring up an option to open the file with the appropriate program or save it - for some reason now it just downloads straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else? It's very frustrating - sometimes you want the file opened first so it can be discarded or saved to a different location.

Hey. that's great! Thanks for posting back with the outcome.

Cisco Jabber windows call option and user addition issue

Hi,
After uploading the jabber-config.xml (EDI-BDI) on the CUCM, the call option for new user contacts started appearing but the already existing contacts in Jabber client have still no call option. Also when we add new contacts to the Jabber client, it just disappears as such. Any one faced similar issue before. Below are the details and attached jabber-config.xml and LDAP profile snap.
We are using employeeNumber as attribute in LDAP configuration.
CUCM - 8.5.1.15900-4
UCCX - 8.6.3.10000-20
Jabber for windows - 9.7.0 (Tried with earlier version of jabber as well)

Hey
Just right click on the contacts which do not have the call option and select view profile, then see if those contacts that are added are they from the Outlook or the AD, if its AD then they will have a contact number and as such they will have the Call Option enabled.
If they are from outlook then delete the users and readd them by checking the view profile option to verify they are being pulled from AD.
Also if i assumed the issue differently then what it is please explain the whole scenario.
Note-: In case of J4W it will not connect to the directory using the LDAP profile info, it automatically verified and cnnects to the domain using your login creds.

No video call option

Please help with video problem. The "Video Call" option is greyed out and unavailable. How can I reinstall the video call option?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As stated in my first reply to the original poster, when the selected contact is offline the video call button is grayed out and won't function. When the contact's status becomes online, the button will become bright green and clickable.

I bought new apple tv but it only shows Computers and Settings. how can I bring up other options, specially Youtube?

I bought new apple tv but it only shows Computers and Settings. how can I bring up other options, specially Youtube?

Alright, I found the issue. This is how I have resolved my issue. I hope it will help you.
1. This issue could happen, if your apple TV doesnt have internet, connectivity to iTunes servers, or you haven't logged in to iTunes account in your apple TV
2. Test the network on apple tv - General - settings - network - test network, Try to aviod using wifi use LAN cable, since we are trying to fix the issue.
3. Set your exact location manually - Which city you are in from settings-General - Time Zone- choose your City currently you are in.
4. Login to iTunes account - settings- iTunes Store- set your default store - for example I am in Mongolia but using my New Zealand account on Apple TV, in our case my Apple TV iTunes account location is New Zeland.
5. If you are facing any issues to login to your iTunes account, That explains you have an issue with connectivity back to iTune servers, or sometimes it could be apple iTune servers may have problems. To verify which is one is the problem login to your itunes on your laptop or desktop for testing purposes, make sure you are using the same internet connection as your home apple TV is using.
6. if you are able to login you should able to see all the available channels and full list on Apple TV.
All the best..I just saved USD 29.00 but spend 5 hours...LOL..Its ok..its my Holiday spend with Apple TV.

Phone/send button no longer brings up call log

phone/send button no longer brings up call log. I press the phone button to get to the phone, then hit button again to view call log and screen merely blinks...repeatedly.
Post relates to: Treo 650 (Cingular)

We have two Treo 650's in the family.
Spouse's Treo is having the same problem, button works OK to get into Phone app but second press does not bring up the Recent Calls list.
Spouse has never installed Datebk5 although I have it. He has problem, I do not. Still I decided to try this fix and similar fix by TakePhone developers...problem NOT resolved.
I did try a SYSTEM RESET (not a hard or soft reset) and that worked...but in order to get wireless working again a soft reset is required. After doing the required soft reset the problem returned.
I am not the only one in this boat:

N95 - call option is greyed out , phone is compati...

Hi, have an n95/win xp/ service pack 2/pcsuite 7.1.40.6/BT & USB
I used to be able to use the call option , but now for some unknown reason, its greyed out. All the other features work - but not the call function.
The only change I've made recently was to add BT; maybe this has upset something? However I've re-installed PC software and cant seem to figure out what might be wrong.
Would anyone have an ide what might be the problem?
Thanks!

No "End + Answer" or "Merge" calls options on Verizon iPhone???

Hello,
I had the iPhone 4 on AT&T, but recently switched to the Verizon version. There are several major problems that I have noticed:
1) When on a call, there is no "End + Answer" button when a new call comes through. The only buttons are "Ignore" and "Hold + Answer". This is a MAJOR problem for me right now
2) When on a call and I use the "Hold + Answer" button, there is no "Merge" calls option. How can this be possible?
3) On the Phone settings, there is no easy way to forward calls like on the AT&T version.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated as I am ready to switch back.
Thanks,
Danny

This is obvsiously a response to and old post, but I just compared the difference between the call functions on the Verizon iPhone 4S and the AT&T iPhone 4. For Verizon, when someone is talking on the phone, and another person calls, your only options are to Ignore, Hold Call and Answer, or End. The first two operate the same on both each type of phone. The "End" function on the Verizon ends the current conversation, and waits for the new call to be rereceived. That's not exactly a technical term, but what happens is that all phone calls end (the screen actually goes back to the phone app recent call screen or keypad), and the 2nd call that was received rerings the phone. The person calling the phone hears a normal ringing tone with the intermittent beeps that signals the other person is on the other line. I hope this makes sense to you. When someone calls the AT&T phone, the options are Ignore, Hold Call and Answer, and End Call and Answer. If you select the End Call and Answer, the phone immediately ends the current call and changes to the new call. Interesting difference, particularly when compared side-by-side, or when an AT&T iPhone user tries to help a Verizon iPhone user. Have fun figuring out why this exists and who is to blame!
