How do I turn off emoticons in the text messages I receive.

I use this blackberry to receive alerts from thousands of servers across the globe. If I misread one of these text messages, power could go down for thousands of people. I am not a teenage girl. I therefore do not need cute little smiley faces that prevent me from reading my server alerts. Please help.

I'm trying to turn off the transformation of the sms text I type into emoticons. I'm almost in disbelief that I've searched for so long and I can't see how to do this. How much Italian wool was there in the last BlackBerry promo video I saw? How heavily is BlackBerry targeting serious business and big government? What's going on here?
Let me second the motion made by sloth333 nearly two years ago. I am not a teenage girl. I rely on my phones to keep me in touch with the health of servers that tens of thousands of users rely on. I don't need smileys, I need the original text I typed.

        Hi Catchingup
    I can answer this question for you.You can't change the stock messaging application to turn off the conversation mode. You may be able to download a 3rd party application for messaging that could assist you with this feature.

  • How do I turn off all of the notifications? They are so annoying.

    How do I turn off all of the notifications on iPad mini? All of them at once. They are so annoying. And it's annoying to go to preferences and put off the notifications for every app. When I instal any app it asks me - do you want to recieve notifications? I say no, but almost every app does the notifications.
    P.S.
    I wish to **** someone in apple for this annoying thing. Please tell me how to turn this annoying thing off.

  • How can I turn off access to the internet at scheduled times?

    how can I turn off access to the internet at scheduled times? I use an Airport extreme and several units to extend the range. Kids have multiple devices that I don't want on the network at certain hours. On the other hand, ideally, my wife and I would like to be able to access the internet with our devices after the kid's bedtime and during their school study time.

  • How do i turn off talkback when the screen is locked?

    How Do I Turn Off Talkback When The Screen Is In Locked Mode? It Will Not Allow Me To Get To The Accessibility Icon.....

    Hi
    I’d be happy to help you disable talkback on your Moto E! If you have inadvertently enabled Talkback, you can quickly pause it, and then go back to disable this feature.
    Anywhere on the screen, swipe down then right in a single motion, as if you were drawing an “L”.
    Note: This should work whether the phone is on the lock screen or unlocked.
    You will then see 2 options in the top corners of the screen, select “Pause Feedback”.
    When the Suspend Talkback message appears, double tap “OK”.
    You can now normally go into Settings > Accessibility and disable talkback.
    I hope this helps!

    How to turn off automatic correction on text message?

    At this time I don't think there is a way to turn it off. the software will learn new words and shortcuts you use when typing as you go. To do this type in the word/phrase and then hit the x when the suggested word pops up or tap on the word to keep what you have. Then hit the space bar and type away, it should have added that word to its dictionary and if you type it again it shouldn't offer up a new word instead.

  • How do I turn off and on the icon size slider bar at the lower right status bar of a folder window.

    I have been trying for days to help a friend with a new iMac to turn on the icon size slider bar that on my iMac appears at the bottom of ever folder when it is open when in the "view" > "icon" mode.  I cannot find anything that discusses this slider bar.  I can turn this status bar off and on on both my machine and my friends machine, but I cannot turn off or on the slider on either machine. 

    This did not help.  I am a Mac User since 1984 and generally I am never stymied buy the Mac OS, but this one has me.   I can open and close the lower status bar, as you described, and that works fine for me because I have the icon slider bar already there and it works fine; however when I open the lower status bar on my friends machine there is no icon size slider bar, and I can't seem to find out how to get it there, as it is on my machine or at all. The icon size can be controlled from the View menu, but as a photographer, it is really handy to have it at the bottom of the folder window.  Thanks for trying.

  • How can i turn off passcode when the option is greyed out

    how can i turn off passcode in iPhone 4S when the option is greyed out?

    You can't. Do you have an Exchange account on the phone? If so, the ability to disable the passcode can be restricted by a profile installed when setting up the Exchange account.

  • How do I turn off automatic searching when text is pasted accidentally onto main browser window (not the location bar) ?

    This sometimes happens for example while filling in a form on a web page. I intend to copy/paste text into an input box of the form but I accidentally paste it outside of the box. This causes Firefox to perform an undesired search based on my text.
    Can this be turned off?

    Hi,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    If you would like to take a listing of the add-ons, important preferences/settings etc. to quickly replicate the previous profile, please open '''Troubleshooting Information''' via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H'''), '''Copy all to clipboard''' and paste it into MS Office Excel, or OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc, or notepad. However, it would be a good idea to check for the existence of the issue immediately after the reset.
