E75: Sorting text messages

There is the option to sort messages in inbox/sent folders by date/sender etc. I want to sort messages by date so most recently received is always at the top. However, My text display shows sender, part of subject, and time of message no the the date. So texts are being sorted by time instead of date. How can I change the text to display date in inbox instead of time?
Thanks
Josey

Hi.
I just tried to perform the operation that you requested.
I think the sorting is done by date/time (21.6.0 @ 20:25) with a message that came in earlier being filed or sorted underneath. I hope this made sense. All of my texts are sorted in the order of date first with time being a sub-sort item. If you do not understand this maybe I can post a pic.

Issues nokia 7610 supernova sort text messages

Dear All,
I own a Nokia 7610 supernova ( product code # 0564323 ) and I'm experiencing a weird behavior after restoring its content backup.
I did a full phone backup through Nokia PC Suite 7.1.26.0 before installing the latest firmware available for my mobile - Version 05.20 .
After updating my mobile to firmware version 05.20 then I did a full restore through Nokia PC Suite.
It seems that all my text messages are stored on the mobile; however it appears now sorted by sender.
I mean, all the text messages appear on the mobile sorted by sender instead of arrival date/time.
Therefore, before the upgrade and full restore all my text messages was sorted by date.
Please, Is it possible to change the text messaging sorting criteria?How can I sort my text messages by date again?
What can be this problem root cause?
thanks in advance,
Roger

Hi no1_slumko,
thanks a lot for helping again
> That seems like the last option, it's definitely worth a shot but if that phone
> is anything like my N82 then the setting will only stay in place until you close the inbox.
Unfortunately, there is no such option =/
I´ve tried on those menus:
Messaging -> Inbox -> Options (out side In Box folder)
Messaging -> Inbox -> Options (within In Box folder, on the messages list)
Messaging -> Message Settings ->General Settings
Messaging -> Message Settings ->Text Messages
There is nothing related to sort text messages on those menus listed above =(
PS:I've tried to restore the phone´s firmware and recover from full backup file again with no success. All text messages appears sorted by sender on the mobile, although Its delivered date are correct.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance,
Roger

IPhone 3Gs is not sorting Text Messages

My iPhone 3Gs does not sort the text messages by time or date, which I thought was the default for cellular phones...
In fact I don't see them being sorted by any order at all. How do I get the iPhone to sort the text messages by date?
Thanks.

Hm... mine doesn't always seem to do that.
Often i'll have to scroll through the long list of conversations to see where the little blue bullet comes up.
I guess i'll suggest it to Apple.
Thanks.
Nice that they actually accept suggestions.

SMS text message header does not display sender information

When I receive a text message the only header information that displays is the date and time. The senders information does not display. The lines are not even there. There is no way to reply to a text message or tell who the sender is. This problem is only with SMS messages. Regular email headers display just fine. I have done a wipe, reset, reload, everything possible with no luck. I am the only one in my office with this problem. I have not been able to find any information or postings from anyone having the same problem. I can read the text message, but there is no header (except for the date and time). Any thoughts?
Blackberry Curve 8350i

I was able to resolve the problem by uninstalling the Blackberry desktop manager software and reinstalling it selecting Internet Email vs. Blackberry Enterprise Server. If you get to the screen that asks you to choose which type of email service you use and you accidentally choose the wrong one your phone will work but will do strange things, including sending all sorts of redirect emails. For me, this seemed to do the trick.

Text message alert sound

I have a new LG Revere. When I receive a text message, the phone makes some sort of alert vocal sound. I can set the text message alert ring tone, but how do I turn off that alert vocal sound?

This question, and another regarding a "voice" or "vocal" alert, leads me to believe you have Voice commands enabled. I'm not sure where this is on the Menu system for the Revere - explore Menu, Tools, Sounds, Voice Commands, Alerts - see if there is a setting for those to be toggled on or off. You may also look in your user manual for those keywords to see if there is anything there that will lead to a way to turn these off.
** Update - Page 65 of the user manual has info on the Voice Commands and turning the prompts to Readout/Readout + Alerts/Tones only I think you want tones only....

Text messages showing as number@vtext, can't make it stop

I posted this in the Android section but realized that may not be the right place.
Day 1
My phone was messed up earlier today so I was sending text messages to my daughter from the verizon website. Now that I have my phone sorted out text messages from her show up as [email protected] We are sending text messages hand set to hand set, not using the web anymore. It is so annoying, not only that but it actually duplicates the messages. The body shows up with (message) message. My replies to her show as both my regular contact and vtext.com, alternating not at the same time. I want it back to normal. Does anyone have any ideas?
Day 2
Ugh, if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. This is so irritating. I went through my phone and my daughters, deleted all of our messages to each other, deleted each other as contacts. Cleared the cache in our phones. Re-added each of us as contacts and it is still doing it! So instead of messages from her showing up with her name they show with [email protected] and it duplicates the body of the message. If she says 'do you want to go to lunch' it shows up as (do you want to go to lunch) do you want to go to lunch. It is so annoying. This continues to happen even after we start new messages to each other, being sure that we select our mobile numbers. We are not entering the vtext anywhere. Someone help me make it stop! This is not happening with any other contacts, only her.
Thanks for any help.

Laura,
Make sure you have deleted all contact information from BOTH phones, and all messages from each other on BOTH PHONES. Then restart the phones. It's important that there are no remaining messages or contact information when you try to start anew.
THEN, send a text to each other using only the manually entered phone number. If that is successful (it comes from the phone number), then add the phone number and contact information from the message.
It seems it's still seeing the vtext messaging somehow, so it's critical that information is GONE and you are starting totally new with the phone number only.
HTH,

My sister and myself are getting each others text messages. Help! (Hard Question)

This whole problem started when I first got my Iphone 5 around christmas time of last year. And i did the normal activation of my new Iphone and syncing my old iphone 4 with this new phone. I synced everything and it was all good, but i started to get these random text from people in my message log. I soon found out that i was recieving every text that was sent to my sister. And if i replied to someone who was texting my sister it would show up like she texted them, not me on a seperate number. Also when i text my sister she would get the text but immidiatly after i sent her it, i would also get a text from myself saying what i sent her. I will literally get a text message from my own number to myself, (Weird ****). So its like my sisters text messaging is fused with mine. Its only messages though, no images or anything else. In the beginging i didnt care about this becasue she wasnt recieving my text i was only getting hers. But now just today she tells me she is getting my text too. And thats a problem! This problem lasted all the way up to about 2 months ago and then i stopped getting her messages. But i gave one of my friends my old iphone 4 and once they activated it for there own use it started to happen again. They use a seperate plan then i do and there number on the phone is different. Before i gave them the phone i wiped everything off of it. i took off the contacts, messages, everything. They use a different apple account and icloud account now on the phone. So idk why it started up again i need help. Here is some background. My whole family shares the same apple account with everything. We have seperate phones, numbers and data for the most part. But with dealing with Icloud and itunes anything like that, we use the same account. My sister uses a Iphone 4s btw. With my old Iphone 4 i had no probelms with this, everything was normal. But once i switched to the new iphone 5 this problem has occured. Idk what this is about, i havent heard anyone else with this problem, but i need help! btw my other family members on their phones do not have this problem. So i think it has to do something with the icloud but im not sure! This is a serious problem and i need help! Goodluck!

Get your Apple ID sort out.
Only use the same Apple ID in Settings > iTunes & App Stores to share purchases, no where else.

iOS 5 & iCloud Tips: Sharing an Apple ID With Your Family

After installing ios 6 to my iphone4 and my daughters iphone4s we now get each others text messages. How can we disconnect from each other so that I don't receive the text messages from her and her friends and she does not receive mine?

After installing IOS6 on my iphone 4 and my daughters iphone 4s we have this wonderful connection that we would like to break. We are now seeing/receiving each others text messages. I love my daughter but I don't really want to get all of her text messages from her friends and I don't really want to read every response she sends. Additionally, she can also see my text messages and there are times I really don't need for her to know everything that I am doing.
So It is time to cut the cord we need our own seperate texting. I am not sure what we did to have this happen but how do we undo it?

Wife and I have an Iphone 4s, she receives my text, but the history on my IPhone disappears as soon as I send a text to her. I also do not receive any of her text messages. Any ideas how to fix this?

Both my wife and I have an IPhone 4s. All of a sudden, when I text her, she receives my text, but the history on my IPhone disappears as soon as I send the text. Also, I don’t receive any of her text messages. Though while testing and trying to troubleshoot, I have sent a text message from her phone to my phone and I do hear the text sound message go off on my phone but no text. Though I on my icon, I do see I have 1 new text message and as soon as I click on it, the text message will disappear if it’s from her. Now I have noticed when I call her the history also disappears now. I can call her and she can call me from the phone successfully. Just can’t receive any of her text message and no history is retrieve from my phone. Can anyone please help??? Just to share, I have hard booted both phones, deleted and re-added our contact information and in the ‘Message’ settings, we both have the message ‘on’, Send as SMS ‘on’, MMS Messaging ‘on’ and under the ‘send and Receive’ field, it has my number listed with a 1 and area code…1 (210) xxx-xxxx.

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

How can I disable Notification Centre in IOS5 and go back to getting the big blue text message notifications?

I have Iphone 4S on iOS 5
I flicked the button in settings to set up Notification Centre, but now I want to disable Notification Centre as the text notification is nowhere near as good as the old 'big blue' text received box.
1- where do I find button to DISABLE Notification Centre? (I can't find one)
2- how do I revert back to the old big blue box text notification?
Thanks

I've tried literally every option available in "Notifications" to get back the big blue box, but it seems that every option I choose nothing really changes.
The messages continue to come up with the small box, green Message icon, and the name and Text Message beneath.
Is there no other way, or some sort of trick, to get the blue box back?
Thanks!

My iMessage is stuck on the wrong phone number and I keep getting coded text messages from SMS Info.

I recently switched the sim card in my iPhone when I moved from one country to another. When I put my local sim card in iMessage would not activate (just staying on 'waiting for activation' forever). This has not been a problem before. When I went to send/receive I saw the phone number there is still on the old one from the country I left. This is not the case in phone settings when I look for 'my phone number' or in facetime, which recognise the new number.
Plus I keep getting text messages from 'SMS Info'. They are just code, except that in there my new phone number is included among the code. The only other discernible characters are the letters 'REG-RESP?'. Perhaps this is something to do with an error in registering my new number.
I have tried-
1. Turning it off and on again.
2. Turning iMessage off and on again. This results in the usual 'it may cost you to reactivate with an SMS' popup on my phone screen, then a popup saying there has been a mistake, then one of these coded SMS messages.
3. Doing the above in combination with logging in and out of my apple id (as suggested on another forum post here)
4. Removing the new sim card and replacing the old one. Then turning off iMessage, replacing the new sim card and turning iMessage back on (of course powering the phone down and up)
None of these remedies have worked. The iMessage problem is affecting all sorts of my messages. Windows keep popping up saying that I may have to pay for an SMS to activate iMessage, except that it doesn't activate. The SMS messages from 'SMS Info' keep coming and I can't seem to get any of it to stop an just work normally.
I have looked in these forums already and can't see the same problem elsewhere. If someone could figure this out I would be most grateful.

Hi,
When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
I would contact Apple Support and check with them. (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.

HT1688 I have an iPhone5, my boyfriend has a Motorola AndroidX. I can send him text messages no problem, but if he sends me one, with or without pictures, it never somes through. I have to do a "hard" shutdown on my phone in order to retrieve his text and

Help, I ehave iphone5, boyfriend has Motorola Android, I can send him texts, with and without photos, he receives them right away. When he sends me a text, with or without pictures, I get nothing until I do a hard shutdown of my phone and when it comes back on, messages older than 4-5 hours pop up. Sometimes they don't arrive at all and he is forcecd to use email.
Please tell me how to fix this problem. I have gone through Technical Support many, many times, resetting networks etc., trouble with voicemail, now getting text messages "blank" from Unknown. AT&T says it is there software problem. I have had so many problems since receiving this phone, on-going daily calls to AT&T.
Can anyone out there help me with the issue of being able to receive text messages from my boyfriends Anroid?
I can so use your help desperately.

How to make text message notification work without quitting the app

in the text message conversation view, there's only a soft sound alert when new messages are received.
even when the screen is off, you get no popup preview or a regular notification sound whatsoever.
the only way to keep getting the regular notification & previews is to quit the app each time you send out a text.
often times when you are in the middle of something and are unable to focus on the phone itself for the conversation, you forget to quit the message app, then you are totally not aware there have been messages coming in because it only gives you a soft sound alert that's totally unable to hear when you're outside walking, or other similar scenarios.
It's been bugging me for years, it's specially annoying when the other person I chat with isn't aware of this issue and ocassionally misses out my messages.
i mean, if apple insists that to avoid this problem, the users MUST remember to quit the conversation RIGHT AFTER EVERY SINGLE LINE, this is just absolutely unrealistic.
I now do it every time because I'm aware of the issue, but not the other people I have conversations with.
I've had too many situations where I had to wait for a long time to receive response only to find out that the other person wasn't aware the new text messages, because it was simply too soft to hear, and completely no other sort of things to notify you with.
so i wonder if there really isn't a way to change the notification behavior, cuz apparently it's impossible that I make everybody I send text to change their habits just for this.
if anyone knows the answer I'll really appreciate it. thanks

Selecting and moving many messages not working - try sorting by message classes

I posted this a while back, and have an update now.
I file my sent items. Call me crazy, but I like to at the end of every quarter, move sent items from that quarter into sub folders. It's usually 2-4000 items, and ever since I installed OL2010, I have had weird issues when trying to clean my Sent items.
Example: Select 2000 items, sorted by date from Sent Items. Drag and drop to my 2009Q4 folder. It then prompts me "Creating a new item from the selected items could take some time. Are you sure you want to create a new item from these 2000 items?"
So I figured possible Ctrl is stuck down or something, so I right click, Move, select the folder. Same issue.
I start selecting smaller data sets. I got to about 50-60 items at a time that I was able to move and not get that message. I got frustrated and stopped working on it.
This morning, I decided to re-test this. Same issue presents itself. So instead, I sorted by message class. I was able to select 3800 message items. The remaining items were messages with attachments, text/mobile messages, and calendar invite responses.
It appears that some combination of selecting multiple message classes was triggering my issue. I suspect the newest of them, the mobile messages to be the issue, so I deleted them, and retried, nope, same error, even selecting only the show message class types. Would like to see this fixed, of course, and will be sending a frown with the link to this thread as well.
Chris

I had this problem too. For me, simply sorting by message class, then finding all the calendar items and moving them first, then going back and doing the rest, allowed me to move them as I liked.   However, its not clear to me that I have
all message classes (not sure what they all are), so it could be there are other message classes that cause problems when you move "mixed classes".   I do think this is an MS Outlook bug, but not clear anyone has reported it to MS. ;-<
You can prove this by simply selecting a calendar item and a msg, and try moving the two. You will have this issue.
However, you'd think that MS itself would be a vast user of MS Outlook and if we're discovering this, you'd think MS internal folks are too, so I'm deferring to them to self-resolve.   Until then, I'll just use this workaround.
Definition of "Message classes" for others reading this... You may have already inferred, but two examples of "classes" are a normal email (.msg) and a calendar item. You can sort these by clicking on the "icon" field at the top of your email
folder, just to the right of the "bell" (Reminders).   Not sure how to put a .JPG in this posting, since a picture would explain this much better than I can using words.
