Email and Text Alerts for deaf users? A critical necessity!

I'm a little confused. I have to use "vibrate" as my ring tone because I'm deaf. Email and text messages **ARE** the telephone for deaf users and we want to know immediately when we receive an email or txt message. But I only get one little buzz when I get an email message and I almost never notice it because it's so short. Isn't there a way to make the vibrations repeat, say, 3 or 4 times, or even until you respond to the alert? I could ask the same question about calendar alerts. Is there any way controlling how many vibrations you want to receive when your calendar kicks in? I need an alert that will draw my attention to it, nag me a little when I need it to.

There is no way to adjust vibration lengths or times.

    Hi @elc088! Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    If you're referring to BlackBerry ID, then you need to perform a Security Wipe before you can login using your new credentials. Make sure you have a backup because this will delete all of your data.

  • When will the bluetooth support audio alerts for email and text messages?

    When will the bluetooth support audio alerts for email and text messages? It works when I get a phone call, but I'd like it to work when getting a text message (I do this a lot in noisier areas and would rather not have to look at the phone every few minutes)
    Or is there a configuration option I'm missing?

  • My iPhone no longer gives me audible alerts for email and text messages.  Just stopped. Help.

    My iPhone just stopped giving me audible notifications for email and text messages.  It still rings for calls.  I have checked the settings for "Sounds" and they have not changed.  However, in these settings when I try to change the sound I get only the vibration and not the sample sound.  Can anyone help?

  • Middle-of-the-night text alerts for data usage - can I set alerts to email only?

    Can't seem to find how to turn OFF text alerts for data overage, but leave email alerts in effect. OR, is there a way to specify WHEN text alerts are sent? Seems every one I've received comes in between 1 and 3 AM EST.

    i'm also having major CPU problems w/ FF 29.0.1. when i restart the app it calms down again but after loading tabs it steadily climbs up to 100% after not too long. i have checked out the 2 CPU links/articles above and do all the basic troubleshooting and tips, but with all the FF tools & add-ons isn't there some sort of CPU monitor that has the ability to display which extensions/scripts are hogging the CPU? Activity Monitor on Mac just shows the total used by the app. it's impossible in my case to efficiently disable dozens of add-ons & scripts, restart, and test each one by one b/c it can take several hrs before the CPU starts to spike high again. i have no time for this.
    thanks

  • I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be back

    I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.

    This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage.  In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
    If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud.  To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back.  (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.)

  • Droid Mini notifications for email and text not working

    I am having a problem with notification sounds not working for email and text messages with my Droid Mini. I took my original phone to the Verizon shop. They did a factory reset. Sound worked for two days. Went back to Verizon and they reset it again. But they did tell me if it happened again to call Verizon and they would send me a new phone. Well it happened again. Got my new phone just last week. Well yesterday and today the sound notifications for text messages and email is not working on the new phone.  Last night I powered the phone off and back on and all was working well until this morning.
    This is very upsetting as I really do like this phone. Would like to know what is going on with it. Have checked all the volumes and they are all up.
    Is there a fix for this.
    Thank you.

  • Enabling of Spell Checker for email and text in IC Web Cleint

    Hi,
    Can someone help me how to enable the Spell Checker option for email and text in IC web Client.
    Currently we are working with CRM 4.0.
    Thanks in adv....

    Hi,
    I agree with the previous reply. Building your own spell checker is just a waste of time. Google bar has a pretty nice spell checker with different language support.
    Its best to use that.
    If there are reasons why you don't want to use the said spell checker then in CRM_IC you will find two view for spell checker. You can add JavaScript or VB Script code to use word functionality and do the spell check. This would be the second best alternative.
    Thanks and regards,

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Email and text Notifications when on a call

    Is there a way to stop email and text notifications when I am on a phone call? I have a long email alert and message tone, and when I'm on a call and they go off, it's so loud and long I can't hear who I'm talking to.
    They can't hear the alert but it goes on for so long they waffle on and I miss a lot of conversation. Why is this not automatically disabled or set to silent when taking a call?

    Again,we shouldn't have to. I've been an iPhone user since 3G and its taken years just to get simple things that even 10 year old nokias can do. Since we can now use our own alert tones etc, they can't even get them to be quiet when on a call. I've no need to know I've received a text or email when I'm on a call.
    Always seems like apple don't think things through in the rush to get their gadgets out. Surely this is an easy fix that could have been sorted by now, there are enough complaints about it.

  • Email and SMS Alerts - Solution Manager - PI and EP

    Hi All,
    I am trying to do the below scenario.....But somehow i am lost in the process.
    I have a three system PI landscape and a Solution Manager. I have included the DEV PI in solution manager for CCMS,the CCMS agents are online and it also reflects in RZ20.
    Now the requirement is SOLMAN should send email and sms alerts in below situations which occur in PI system.
    1.The ABAP or JAVA engine goes down.
    2.One of the filesystem crosses certain predefined limit.
    3.Any of the java server node stops working
    4.If any critical job gets cancelled in sm37
    I am looking at steps on how to define the alert categories, auto reaction methods, also the nodes where i have to assign these auto reaction methods.
    I have gone through CCMS documentations, played all sim files and gone through most of the pdf files but i am not able to establish proper steps to do it.
    I am Redhat Linux,Oracle 10g, SOLMAN 7 with PI7
    Can i extend the same for the EP systems also which are pure Java Stack Systems ?
    Also i would like to know if i can send customized alert messages.
    Best Regards
    Raghu

    Hi Juan,
    Thanks for your response.
    I am looking at the MTE classes i.e for the above situations which MTE classes are required.
    Also i have read in some document that we can send the alerts directly to the email IDs and cell numbers without having to mention them in user masters in SU01. Where to mention these ?
    I have my SCOT settings done for email servers.
    The process which i had built up in my mind is all mixed up and i am lost where to do which configuration
    Best Regards
    Raghu
