Email, Text and Phone call alerts

Hi. I just got my BB Tour and was wondering if there is a way to silence email alerts while keeping text and phone call ring tones active? I've tried adjusting the profile under Message Alerts section but it doesn't work. I've silenced everything but SMS text and Phone but I still get a ring tone whenever I get an email. It's annoying since emails come relatively often.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I was confused by this as well, but it eventually just sorted itself out.
There was probably a reboot involved.
I do remember selecting "None" for the email alerts, and still getting them. Then, it was fixed.
If you haven't already, try removing the battery and rebooting. I know, it's the same lame suggestion for everything, but at least I offer hope that it's fixable.

Cleaning up email, text, and phone

Just moved from a BlackBerry to Droid Razr Maxx and don't intuitively find a way to Delete All for email, text, and phone lists. Any advice? Thank you.

Congratulations on the upgrade to your new Razr Maxx.
The OS with an Android is considerably different than the OS for the Blackberry.
With that being said, there isn't a way to delete email, texts and phone calls all in one swoop.
To delete multiple emails, you can go to the email icon, select Menu, Select all.
To delete multiple text messages you can go to the Messages, long press on the message conversations you want to delete and they will turn blue. In the upper right hand corner you will see a trash can and it will delete the selected messages when pressed.
To clear call logs, go to the the Phone icon, press menu and Clear List.
I hope this has helped.

How to silence incoming text and phone calls on iphone 5

I have an IPhone 5 and I cannot get it to silence the alarm sound when I am receiving a new text or incoming call.

Howdy morrissign,
I read your post, and it sounds as though you'd like to learn how to silence your device. I have linked to an article that will instruct you on how to do that:
iPhone Buttons
Adjusting the Volume
When you're on the phone or listening to songs, movies, or other media, the buttons on the side of iPhone adjusts the audio volume. Otherwise, the buttons control the volume for the ringer, alerts, and other sound effects.
To adjust the volume, use the buttons on the side of iPhone.
Flip the Ring/Silent switch to change between ring and silent modes.
When set to ring mode, iPhone plays all sounds. When set to silent mode, iPhone doesn't ring or sound any alerts or sound effects (alarms set using Clock do sound). By default, when you get a call, iPhone vibrates whether it's set to ring or silent mode.
If iPhone is set to ring mode, you can silence a call by pressing the Sleep/Wake button or one of the volume buttons once. Press a second time to send the call to voicemail.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
BobbyD

I deleted the text and it still is on my phone. This is a huge problem becasue I can't leave my phone on with this noise.

HT1222 having problem's receiving texts and phone calls and all contacts are coming up as unknown when they ring

Hi. I recently bought a new iphone 4s two weeks ago. with the last two day's people cannot get throught to me, Even do i have full reception on the vodafone ireland network it says my phone is powered off. Also when someone does eventually get throught to me there number comes up "unknown" even do its saved in my contacts and there name used to show up. Also i receive text message a few hours after there orignaly sent... Please help!!!

You shouldn't be charged if it's a hardware issue, it is under warranty for one year. As stated above, out sounds like something you installed like a messaging app. Keep in mind that not all applications in the market are safe. Factory reset and try again. If that doesn't help, go into a dealer and demand a replacement.

If you've forgotten the answers, you can't do that yourself. Click here, tell the iTunes Store staff that you can't call, and see what they say.

Text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5

text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5. I backed up my 4 before activating my 5. Can i retrieve them somehow?

i would not want to bet on nokia ever releasing a patch or update in the software to allow this function on this particular phone.
if you look at nokia phones over the years, they have added functionality like this across a wide range all at once, take for example timed profiles on symbian phones. these have only just been phased in.
i do not think it is a development cop out, more along the lines that nokia is a huge company and as such would have a huge effor in market research. if they didnt pick this out through their market researc, why spend the money adding it?
the comment on annoyance is entirely personal to me, as it is important to you - you may want to consider moving to a symbian (series 60) based handset as these give you a lot of expansion for this sort of need.

My daughter is going to Canada for a week and i would like to know if it will cost extra for her to text and/or call someone in the United States?

The text and phone rings come on while I'm using the phone..irritating, the text and phone rings come on while I'm using the phone..irritating

the text and phone ringtones come on while I'm talking on my IPhone4. What do I need to change to not hear the actual tone?

Engage the mute switch while you're on the call. It's the little slider switch over the volume buttons on the side of the phone.

IPhone4 will send but not receive texts or phone calls

My iPhone4 just stopped receiving texts or phone calls??? I can call out and send texts, but it will not receive anything?? I have gone through troubleshooting and reseting network and all that, still nothing?? Any ideas?

Contact your carrier.

Text Messages/Phone Calls on Mac

I've really liked the feature in Yosemite where you can send and receive text messages and phone calls from the Mac (I like using the large keyboard). Recently I had to change my Apple ID password and when I did that function seemed to disappear and I can't get it back. I've tried to set it up again and I get a message that the person I'm texting isn't signed into iMessage -- this was never an issue before, and I'm sure the people I texted were not signed into any special apps. I've checked to make sure I'm signed into iCloud and everything. I don't know what happened ... help???

Messaging was still working from iPhone. I'd checked to make sure I was signed in with new password on iPhone, at least I thought I did. For whatever reason, it seems to have magically fixed itself, however. Thanks for your help.

IPhone 5: Can I view text messages/phone calls that I missed when service was off?

Hello, again.
Beause my service has been off, I've been unable to recieve text messages and phone calls, but I KNOW that people have been trying to get in contact with me. Is there any way to view the messages and missed phone calls that weren't able to come through when my service was off?

At&t said something like 3-5 days if I'm not mistaken...
Google Voice is more of an internet phone to put it simply. You get a free phone number that you can choose from any area code you want.
You can text/call right from your browser. Calls/SMS are free within the USA and Canada.
MMS is still in beta, and SMS to/from the UK is not officially supported yet, but it has been known to work.
I recommend GV to anyone as a secondary number for in-case issues with phone loss/not working properly.
