LG Octane text message entry mode

Hi,
I just bought a new LG Octane and was wondering if there was any way to change the default entry mode from "Abc" to "abc", without having to press shift or function after each period and space?
Thanks,
Maria

Hello maria20,
There is definitely steps on how to change the text entry mode in your phone. These instructions can be found in the User's Manual of the device, on page 53. Here is a link to the manual, as well as the steps typed out, for your convenience.

Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay for repairs in store because I didnt get the Apple care plan when I purchased it. Sprint said it may be a phone problem not sure if I should take it to Sprint or Apple...I just need my phone

I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

How do I turn off conversation mode in text messaging.

How do I turn off conversation mode in text messaging. i want my messages in sequential order.
It is a galaxy s3

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.
Thank you

Hi, I have had an LG Octane for 4 years and loved it. I used it for email, surfing the web and facebook. But 6 weeks ago I stopped getting text messages, I could send but not receive. I was told it was just worn out. So I ordered another Octane from ebay, and it wouldn't connect to the internet. I was told by Verizon that the software had been changed. So I ordered a NEW in Box Octane and I am having trouble with that too. Bing won't work, nothing will work that will enable me to download Verizon Opera mini that still works on my old phone. I have a smart phone with another number but I LOVE the Octane for daily use. Why will my old Octane work but I can't get a NEW one to. Verizon guys are stumped too:( Please help!! Thanks!

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

Airplane mode on. iMessage sent as text message

I believe that this is a drastic oversight by Apple, that I noticed as recently as 1 year ago.
When I travel abroad, I turn Airplane mode on, which SHOULD disable any cellular network/service no matter what. I turn on WiFi so that I can still use iMessage. BUT when the iMessage recipient is unable to receive a message (for whatever reason), the message is sent as a text message and I get charged for an international text message by my cell carrier (ATT).
I realize that I can fix this by turning off the "Send as SMS" option in the Messages preferences, but this should not matter! Airplane mode is on, which should mean that I am safe from cell carrier charges, no matter what. This is not the case!!!

What's odd though is I have several contacts where this happens. One other thing I don't understand though is let's say the iPhone wants to send it as a text but i send it from the computer where it can only iMessage. If my friend can't get iMessages at that time will my iMessage from the computer eventually get delivered?
It seems once my iPhone starts sending iMessages as texts to certain contacts it takes it a while to revert back. If I were to turn off the send as SMS option and iMessage wern't available would it eventually go thru?

HT1355 Can you send and receive text messages in airplane mode?

Can you send and receive text messages while in airplane mode?

No. Regular SMS's require a cellular connection. However, iMessage will work in Airplane Mode, as all that requires is an Internet connection. You can turn WiFi back on while in Airplane Mode.

Text messages not being sent with Google Now or in Car Mode

When attempting to send a text message by voice using either Google Now or when in Car Mode, the text message gets created correctly to the right person, and the content of the message is correct. When I confirm to send the message, I always get "Message Not Sent". I'm able to send text messages manually using the standard Messages app. Researching this issue, I've seen that there are some others having the same problem but I have not found or heard of a resolution.

I don't have a Verizon Messages app.

Received text message while in airplane mode

I recently flew to South America and put my phone (Samsung SGS3) into airplane mode. Imagine my surprise when during my flight I received a text message from Verizon, saying "Welcome to Mexico." And then more info about signing up for a global plan. How did Verizon know I was crossing over Mexico and how did they send me a text message? Isn't airplane mode suppposed to turn off all radios? Wifi was not on either. I was on American, which does have wifi, but my wifi was turned off. Or does airplane mode not really turn everything off?

The show SMS preview option off with a passcode lock enabled is for when your iPhone is locked.
If unlocked and being used, the assumption is it will be you that is using your iPhone, and I don't have anyone looking over my shoulder when I'm using my iPhone.
Before allowing someone else to handle or use your iPhone, turn on Airplane mode so that no SMS or calls can be recieved when someone else is using your iPhone. If internet access is required when someone else is using your iPhone and there is an available wi-fi network that you have access to, you can turn on wi-fi access with Airplane mode enabled. This won't prevent someone else that you allow to use your iPhone from reading your SMS or email, but if I discovered someone I allowed to use my iPhone perusing through my SMS or email without my knowledge or permission, that would be the last time they would use my iPhone for any reason.

Is there an easy way to download text messages from a LG Octane to a computer?

Rather than forward each one.

You can try BitPim (bitpim.org), The Octane is a "feature" phone, a step up from basic, but not a full on smartphone ("proprietary OS", not Android, iOS, Windows, and app support is limited to BREW).
BitPim may say the phone is not supported, but you may be able to get access to the text messages to download by using a similar model phone.

IPhone 6 - Create a calender entry with information in Text message

I have a user at work that is trying to create a calender entry based on the details within a text message. For example; Hi, please can you pick the kids up tomorrow at 5pm, from school. I have seen online that you would select the blue text (like a hyperlink), but the user isn't seeing any highlighted text. It just appears as a plain text message. Any assistance would be appreciated. Gray

The best way to do this is to open the calendar app and create a event for the day you want and invite the other person to that event.
Open calendar app and pick the date that you need.
Press the + icon ( top right or the screen)
Create the title ( pick up kids)
Add location if needed.
Set times.
Scroll down to Invitees and press.
Fill in the persons name and press done. This will invite that person to that event. Job done.
To send as a text message you need to put the date then when they get the text just press that date on the screen and it will let you add a event.
Like this
pick up kids from school at 3pm on 27 June.

Cannot receive text messages with LG Octane

It just started today but I can send text messages but not receive them. My mobile mail still works but I've had family and friends try to text me and no one else is having this issue or can they get a text through. I've tried turning my phone off, taking the battery out, clearing all messages and now don't know what to do. What else can I try or do?

All I can say is that with all three family members who experienced this problem, it took about 24 hours for Verizon to do their "thing" to get them working. If it's been longer than that for you, I am sorry. If it has been less than 24 hours.....try to be patient. THOUGH....you can receive messages if the sender sends them as HIGH PRIORITY TEXTS. This does not cost anything additional to do. HOW TO: After typing your text message to a friend (or vice versa), before sending it, click on OPTIONS. Scroll down to PRIORITY LEVEL. Change to HIGH. Click on OK and send. If your friends do this, the messages should come through to you. This should help until Verizon figures out their problem!

3230 - preset number for text messages

Hope someone can help, I have had previous nokia phones and set them up so that when i send a text message it automatically puts the number i want to send it to in the relevant box (i mainly text one person).....i cant see the means to do this on the 3230.....any ideas or am i missing the obvious?

Enter the number in your Contacts using any name, or perhaps just a single chracter like 'z'.
Then in Messaging when you are in the To: -field, do a long press of the '#' key to switch the text entry mode from numeric (123) to text (abc).
Now you can just enter the 'z' character and hit the green/send key.

Text Messages & Calendar Time off by 1 Hour

Hi. Does anyone else have this problem? I can't seem to find it in the forum discussions when I search. Please direct me if I missed it.
My time zone is correct. Here's the situation. When I open the text message app all the messages are listed and the time in that location is correct. When I open any one of the contacts to view the text message it is ahead by one hour. To clarify..if you send me a text right now at 10:22. In the list it will show 10:22 but when I open up our discussion your message says it arrived at 11:22 even tho it isn't even 11:22 yet. All messages do this.
Calendar
The calendar acts similar. If I enter an appointment in SCHEDULE mode (the little arrow at the top changes the view) then all appointments will be ahead an hour but when you go into the appointment to view it..it says the correct time but views wrong. So viewing your day at a glance in this mode shows all appointments out by an hour. Because of this I have had to use my calendar in AGENDA mode or view so the times show up correctly and don't drive me crazy.
Anyone??
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you for pointing me to the post. Unfortunately the workaround doesn't work.
The only work around for this problem is to keep your calendar in Agenda mode for anyone else having same problem. And we have to live with the text messages being an hour off until an update comes which might be never in this province...yes a slam to Sasktel..thanks
