  • Messaging App suggestion

    First off, I absolutely love my touchpad!
    one thing I wanted to bring up and suggest for the messaging app is to sign on and off across multiple accounts. I can speak for many people out there: sometimes we want the flexibility to log on one account and off another. this is not the case for the current messaging app. I have two screennames on aim, one for personal and one for work. when I am not at work, I prefer not to stay signed on afterhours and sign onto my personal one for chatting.
    another thing I wanted to bring up is the status of a person on chat (away/online/mobile/offline) at least through aim from my experience. there is no indication of an online buddy who is signed on via mobile or not (blue dot). I prefer not to message people who are online via mobile unless it's an emergency, which is now the intended purpose for implementing that status. right now, regardless of online or online via mobile, the status dot indicator will show green no matter what and I find this to be very annoying.
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    the point is to use the built-in messaging app instead of using 3rd party apps. at the very least i would expect AOL/Yahoo/MSN/etc. create their very own app, but i don't know to what extent these other online services would go out of their way to get one going. my focus is on integrating webOS messaging as close as possible to the services that come standard on other IM clients. 3rd party apps like IM+ does not help out at all, as it does not provide a sense of integration and genuineness. i can simply go on meebo and do the same IM+ does, but neither of these options provide the user with a good experience

  • Nokia Messaging app not showing notifications on m...

    I've just purchased 5230 NUron from T-Mobile USA. Didn't like the built-in messaging app as it doesn't support push from MobileMe, so I've downloaded the Nokia Messaging App.
    The app itself works great, push is fast.
    Phone makes a sound when an e-mail arrives, but there is no notification on the home screen as the built-in app usually shows one. If I do not hear the sound and look at my phone 1/2 hour later, there is no way for me to know that I've received an e-mail unless I go into the e-mail and check!
    What's the purpose of push, if there is no message shown on the homescreen???
    Or are any of my settings wrong?

    Check under Profile personalisation whether you have option to set E-mail Alert tone..Also..Settings-->Personal-->Home Screen-->E-mail notifiaction..
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
    Now using the Lumia 1520

  • Gmail not 'pushing' to Messaging app..

    On my new Maxx, if I go into messaging and view either of the 2 gmail accounts I have and hit refresh, it will refresh and load new e-mail.  However, new e-mail will not automatically get delivered as it did with my 'old' RAZR.  The gmail app, however, gets updated, but I like using the built in "messaging" app.  The POP3 account in the messaging app works just fine.
    in Accounts, gmail is setup correctly, password is good, and the box for "update the services to display and sync" is checked.

    Eskimo!   You lost me a bit on my Razr Maxx an on my Droid X that i 've had for two years there is are two separate Messaging entities The one that says Messaging Witch holds the The Universal Inbox , Text Messaging , an For Mine Yahoo.  An the GMail App an Widget is of it's Own or should be on your Maxx. If you need Screen shots i will send them If Wildman Sees this he will put it on to show this as well.. b33

  • Should I factory restore my iPod if I'm in the middle of a conversation with the Message App?

    Itunes cannot read my iPod Touch 4G contents again and I have to restore it. Would you recommend me to restore my iPod in the middle of a conversation with the built in message app? The conversation is important but I have the contact information.
    Also, if you send a message to someone's phone, will that phone display the Message ID of the iPod touch?

    Information will be erased while fixing apple products.
    As long as you are using an apple product to contact a different apple product you can find out who it is.

  • Messages app no longer works; plists or chat.db are missing

    The reason this happened is that well... I sent a really really really long message and it crashed my messages app. So I figured I would try to delete the chat.db file in /Library/Messages but... there was no file there. Then I checked for the plist files in /Library/Preferences/Apple and the plists for messages were all missing. This is the only way I am aware of to solve the problem but these files are clearly gone! I figured maybe they were hidden for some reason so I used a terminal command to show all hidden files, which seemed to work but the files in question were still missing. Am I missing something? Is there another way to fix messages without these files? Should I find replacements for them?
    NOTE:
    I have also just tried looking in ~/Library/Containers/Data/Library/Messages/Archive but I don't even have a Containers folder in Library...

    I think you are probably looking in your system library rather than the user library.
    Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you aren't sure of the difference, I'm not sure you should be playing around in there without specific instruction.

  • Built-in contacts app missing

    I set up my Sports Watch 42mm Space Grey on Monday, but I can't find the built-in contacts app anymore on the app screen:
    I can still see it in the iPhone Watch app listed under "My Watch" and change it's settings, but I can't get it to show. I know I deleted a bunch of apps from the watch by pressing their "x" their, so I maybe I deleted the contacts app as well.
    How do I get it back?
    Regards,
    Karsten Silz

    Hi,
    There is no contacts app for the Apple Watch which is why you cannot see it.
    You can set your twelve friends for ease of access using the side button.
    It is possible to view your contacts list from within the message and phone apps.
    The contacts icon/ option is only in the Apple Watch app so you switch between mirroring your iPhone contacts or setting it to custom for the message and phone apps.
    Regards

  • Missing the Message App after Mountain Lion Update

    My Macbook Pro totally crashed after the Mountain Lion update, and a wonderful tech support lady at Apple walked me though hours of restoring it. However, now that it is working fine and all programs re-installed, I noticed that the Message app is missing. I really like this app and want it back. I paid for the OS and think I should get everything I had before, plus the update. I shouldn't lose a program in the update, should I? I've read through all the other message boards and can find only general suggestions to search in the spotlight (which I did to no avail), and I have searched for a third-party download. After the trouble I've had, I really just want the program back from Apple. HELP!

    If it did not get reinstalled for some reason, then you will need to reinstall. See the following. You can avoid this if you have a prior backup.
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Messages App - 'Accept' button is missing with incoming audio chats

    Hello,
    10.9.1 didn't solve a problem I have since 10.9.
    If somebody calls me within Messages App for an audio chat, the 'Accept' Button is missing.
    (see screenshot)
    Can anybody help?
    Kind regards

    Hi,
    Yes.  Messages is iChat under the hood.
    Lion had iChat 6. Mountain Lion gets Messages 7.x.x and  Mavericks Messages 8
    There are separate .plist that have iMessages in the name for the account stuff like there are iChat ones for the AIM, Jabber and Yahoo accounts.
    (it is similar to the Contacts app still using a  .plist for the Address Book).
    If your settings are not that different from the defaults then you will not notice anything.
    For instance I use Arial Black and a green background (custom choice) in Preferences > Viewing.  (the default is Helvetica)
    Also in the General section I have the item about gathering all buddy lists unticked so that they are separate.
    I also use the Show Status item to display the Menu Bar icon.
    In Messages the Chats are all in the main window listed down the left with the highlighted on shown in the right hand pane.
    You can double click any of the listed ones and a separate chat will open  (the main window can then be closed/hidden) but there is no way to start a new chat in it's own window.
    If you create a new Mac User account (System Preferences > Users and Groups) and then login in to that account and use Messages there does it have the the missing buttons ?
    This will help prove it is the app (A  Restore will be needed) or something about the saved state of the app in your regular User account.

  • MY ihpne 4s iOS 8.1.3 is missing the messaging app. I can receive messages, but when I click on it, nothing happens.I have restarted my phones, no restrictions on are, it is not in another folder, and i have reset my phone.

    I cannot find my default messaging app I can still get text messages, and send them from the pull down bar, but I cannot access the app anywhere. Is it gone?

    No. It's not gone. It's not possible to delete it or restrict it. You've moved it to another screen or into a folder.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout will put it back in the default location if you can't find it.

  • Messages app is missing

    I installed the new operating system Mavericks and my Messages app has a question mark in the dock. I tried to find it in my application folder and looking for it in my finder and had no luck. What can I do?
    Thanks

    You are correct that Messages was in Beta. However, it was free. If you paid for it, it wasn't from Apple. As for it disappearing, Apple may have removed it in an update or you may have deleted it. Either way, I do believe that the final version of Messages will appear on both Lion and Mountain Lion.

  • Sun's App Server built-in messaging service

    Hi,
    We are exploring to use the built-in messaging service(JMS) in our project.
    Could someone share what is the reliability/performance of it?
    Thank you.

    Yes, that seems to have done the trick, I started the Admin Console, went to Application Server - JVM Settings - JVM Options and added the new option -Xrs. There's a description of it at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/windows/java.html
    (Although I am using 1.4.xx)
    I can now log out whenever I like !!!!!
    Cheers

  • Message+ app missing parts of conversation

    I would like to be able to use my tablet and my pc to text people while I have a bad signal where I work. The message+ app should be perfect for that because it appears to be able to go straight through my internet instead of the mobile network. The problem I found is that messages sent through my tablet or pc never show up in my phone.

    That option would appear if you were syncing with an external calendar - a google calendar, iCal, exchange account calendar, something like that.
    Since it is important for you to keep records of all these calendar entries, I would actually suggest that you do this.
    One way, if you have a Mac computer, would be to use iCal on the computer, and sync the iCal calendar with your free iCloud account, and sync the iPhone claendar with iCloud as well.  That way your calendar is effectively backed up twice, the sync on iCloud, and the entries on your computer in iCal.
    Another option would be get a free google gmail account.  Setup that on google as an IMAP mail account.  Also on google, now create a calendar for that same gmail account.  Then set the gmail account up on your iPhone and select the option to use it's calendar as your default calendar - it will sync the entries with the google online copy of your calendar (which can in turn be sync'd with your computer - iCal on a Mac, or outlook on a PC).
    This way, you'll have a duplicate copy of the calendar in at least one, if not two independent places (independent from the iPhone itself that is).
    Hopefully someone else may offer a way to recover from backup the original iPhone calendar.  I've always used my gmail account calendar(s) as my master calendars and just sync'd everything else with them, so I've never dealt with loosing information from an purely local iPhone calendar (one just on the iPhone itself).

  • IChat missing from Messages App

    I have the Messages app on my laptop and it used to have the option to go on iMessage or iChat. On the bottom left used to be the option to go online or offline on AIM. Also when adding accounts in preferences, I can't add anything but my number or email address for iMessage.
    How do I get iChat back on Messages?

    Your issue is a bit confusing. The Messages application is what used to be iChat in earlier versions of the operating system.
    Can you clarify what you mean?
