How can I increase the volume of my text alerts without increasing call volume??

The alerts that are pre-programed on my phone for text alerts are very quiet.  When I turn the volume up so that I can hear them then my call volume is embarrassingly loud.  I have tried to get new tones in the store but they all seem to download to my ringtone - not text tones.  I have even purchased (from the Verizon store) tones that are for texts, but again, they download into my call ringtones.  Any suggestions would be great since I am a big texter and am getting very frustrated because of missing so many.

    @Halon,
I know how you feel! Text messaging is my main means of communication so I use it all the time. I definitely don't want you missing any important text messages because you can't hear the alert.
Keep in mind that the volume level will increase or decrease the same for both calls and text alerts. You may notice that the ring tones options for the text messages are not as loud as the ones for calls. Unfortunately, there is no way to increase the volume for the text alerts without increasing the volume for the call alerts as well.
One thing you can try is turning in the Vibrate mode so the phone vibrates also when you receive a text messages. Visit http://vz.to/1aflRJ0 for steps.
Keep me posted if you need further assistance.

    How can I control the volume in a Apple Tv movie from my remote control App. In my IPad ?.

    There is not now, nor has there ever been a version of flash for any iOS device.
    Adobe has abandoned mobile flash, so there never will be.
    Browsers like iswifter or photon may work for you, but don't hold your breath.
    Check app store for an app of whatever game you want.

    Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement.  They replace the ENTIRE device.
    For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device.  Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
    Apple will not touch the device now.  They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original.

  • How can i check the office web app server(wac client) is calling custom WOPI host?

    I am getting an error when I testing my wopi host(which is the same as
    example) with Office Web app server "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document.  If this happens again, try opening the document in Microsoft Word."
    1-how can find the log files of this error?
    2-how can i check the office web app server(wac client) is calling my WOPI host?
    I am not sure about cumunication between owa to wopi host. I actually dont know how to implement checkfile and getfile functions to wopi host for waiting for call back from owa client.
    Note:I am sure that office web app server is configured true. Because i test it with sharepoint 2013 and editing and viewing is working well.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that
    CheckFileInfo is how the WOPI application gets information about the file and the permissions a user has on the file. It should have a URL that looks like this:
    HTTP://server/<...>/wopi*/files/<id>?access_token=<token>
    While CheckFileInfo provides information about a file, GetFile returns the file itself. It should have a URL that looks like this:
    HTTP://server/<...>/wopi*/files/<id>/contents?access_token=<token>
    There is a great article for your reference.

    You can also refer to the following article which is about building an Office Web Apps(OWA) WOPI Host.

    The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

    If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.
    Then see this tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • How can we transport the standard changed OTR texts w.r.t translation?

    How can we transport the standard changed OTR texts with out effecting the translation concept.?
    means i need to see the text in different languages which ever logged in.

    using the function module SOTR_API_WB_TRANSLATE you can maintain translation in different languages for the OTR texts maintained in your WDA.
    No need to transport,you can directly execute this FM by passing the below parameters:
    SOURCE_LANGU                    EN

  • How can I automate the multi-step process of looking up a caller's contact details when a telephone call comes in with caller ID?

    How can I automate the multi-step process of looking up a caller's contact details when a telephone call comes in with caller ID. I want to be able to see more than just the first & last name when a client calls me. I would like the caller ID to pull up the same information that shows up when you search for and find a contact name and then click on the right arrow.
    My workaround is to force/enter both the last name and the address in the last name field since then the address will show up.
    The only computerized way to look up this additional information is to put the client on hold, memorize the first and last name and correctly enter it in the search field of the contact database and hopefully find it before the client gets tired of waiting.
    Note that I go to about 48 small jobs per week. So far I have about 9,000 contacts. It's easy to make a mistake and have the client wondering what I'm doing and what's taking so long.
    The second workaround is to use paper and pencil and ask the client for name, address, cross street and phone number again, repeating what I did some time previously.
    Please help meautomate this process.

    You don't have to put anyone on hold. When the call comes in, tap the Home button, then tap contacts, go to the contact. Tap Home button when finished, tap the top banner to return to the call screen.

  • HT201269 How can I unlock the password of my iPod touch without having to lose data?

    How can I unlock the password of my iPod touch without having to lose data? 
    You see, I'm trying to transfer the data from my iPod touch to my iPhone and I can't unlock the password of my iPod because it's cracked and I can't use the iPod at all. And the only way to unlock my iPod is by getting rid of everything from my iPod and I don't want that. What should I do? Can anyone help me on this?

    - Can you create a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and then click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up? If so do that than then restore the iPhone from that backup with all apps already in the iTunes library. The iOS on the iPhone has to be greater than or equal to that of the iPod.
    - Otherwise you are out of luck.

    How can I empty the Junk Mail folder in Yahoo without opening the messages?

    You can swipe across them on the left and delete them unread. Unfortunately there is no 'delete all' option in mail.
    Or you can just ignore them on your iPad and empty the junk folder when/if you access your mail online.

  • How can i cantrol the volume of my internet browser?

    i want to be able to listen to my tunes while i am surfing the web with out all the background noise, how do i disconnect the volume of my either safari browser or firefox browser?

    As far as I know, this is not a simple task and requires special software that offers per-application sound control. I remember seeing a program like this several years ago, but I wouldn't know where to direct you or whether it still exists.

  • TS3274 How can I get the volume to work?

    We have an iPad but can't get the volume to work?

    Alright now if you are talking about issues using Safari, here a few things that you can try.
    1. Quit Safari completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    3. Clear Safari. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • How can I remove the underline from added text for tracing edits

    We have a lot of content that includes underscores and when we use the track text edit feature added text is green and underlined. How can I change the properties of the added text to not be underlined?

    Starting with FM11, you could specify a custom colour to be used for track changes, but the styles (underline, strikethrough) are still hardwired.
    Even if you try to make the changes to the rack text edit conditions in a MIF file, they will get overwritten as the MIF is interpreted when opened by FM.
