Missing keyboard feature...in email and sms?

If I hold my iPhone sideways while in Safari and then want to type in a new URL, the keyboard pops up. This is a much larger keyboard, since it is sideways not to mention I feel safer holding it while typing with both hands. Faster too!
Why does this not work in email or SMS? I assume it is a missing feature, or is there a trick to get it to work?
Thanks.

Dunno, but tons of people have asked for it and discussed it since the phone was introduced. So that makes it even more difficult to understand why they haven't addressed it in all that time. Seems like such an easy fix especially since it already does it in Safari... It REALLY aggravates a lot of people because if you are a heavy email or sms user, the regular keyboard is very tough to use and hold when typing, and the Safari landscape keyboard is light years better.
On this forum all anyone ever says is you can suggest the enhancement, but I'm just hoping we'll see it in the v2 software, or as an add-on by some developer. If not, I'm really puzzled.

  • Email and SMS and keyboard in landscape mode.

    I was wondering if, by any chance Apple is working to enhance the iPhone's email and SMS capabilities by incorporating the use of the accelerometer. This would allow email and sms messages to be viewed in widescreen format making it easier for my older eyes to see. This would also allow email and text messages to be created and sent using a widescreen keyboard making it much easier for my big fumble fingers to use. This would be the one GREATEST enhancement that could be made for the iPhone!

    No one hear can address 'what Apple is working on' - this is a user-to-user forum. There are aps in the App Store for landscape emailing; nothing for SMS.

  • Why my Z10 cant retain emails and SMS

    Dear BB,
    I am a Blackberry user since 2011.  My previous bb is a curve 9300. i just got a Z10 from my Local Provider, Globe Telecoms Philippines.
    I would like to ask if you can help me with my concern with my Z10. I noticed that it cant retain my emails and sms.  After a few days, the received SMS and emails is being deleted one by one until its completely wiped-out for a particular date.  I dont have this problem with my 9300.  my old phone can store emails and sms up to 2000 entries, it only got wiped out if i maxed out my phone memory.
    BTW, I already have a 32GB sd card (class100 and my OS is 10.0.10.32.
    I hope you can help me on this, maybe i just need to do the correct settings or something.
    Appreciate your immediate response, this phone feature i very useful in my line of worl.
    Thanks

    Hey jareforsado,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    To better assist you I have a few questions:
    Are you aware of the 'Delete Prior' feature?
    What is the frequency of this behaviour (Once, once a week, once a day, etc)?
    What type of email accounts are set up on the BlackBerry smartphone? (POP, IMAP, ActiveSync ect.)
    Do they use a holster, case, or just put the device in their pocket?
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Thanks.

  • Different alerts for email and sms messages for a contact with custom ring tone

    Hello,
    I have a Curve 8530 with OS 5.0.0.395.
    I have my default sound profile set up to play one type of alert sound when I receive and email message and another when I receive an SMS message (so I know the difference without looking at my phone). That works fine except for contacts that I also have a custom ring tone set up for. It seems that under the Custom Ring Tones/Alerts section of the contact there is only one entry for Messages and it applies to both email and SMS. If I have the contact's message alerts set to the alert I have for email, then their SMS messages play the same alert and I might think it's an email. Or if I have the messages alerts set to the SMS alert sound then their emails sound like SMS messages. Is there a way to have a custom ring tone set up for a contact but still allow their emails and SMS messgaes to follow the current sound profile's settings?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Have you had any luck resolving this issue. I had a 8230 and this was possible. But like you I can get the 8530 to work. If you found the solution, please let me know.

  • Sending messages thru email and SMS without using XMS APIs

    Hi,
    I already have some working code that sends messages thru email and SMS. But currently it uses XMS APIs therefore I have a dependency on files like wdk.jar. I want to try and eliminate using the XMS APIs and only use soap to send these messages. I was wondering if there is some documentation available on how I can do this. Also if there a lot of code that needs to be written to do that.
    I primarily want a very simple application that sends only string messages and reduce my dependencies.
    I would really appreciate all the advice.
    Thanks,

  • Problems with email and SMS after 1.3.5

    Let me first say that I love the Pre. Up until this point it has been perfect - I have a replacement, but that is because I dropped it (wrong angle, wrong location, broken screen). However, following the 1.3.5 update I'm now having a fairly important problem with email and sms - I can receive email and messages, but not send them.
    I have two email accounts. My personal account is with earthlink. My work account goes through an ISP using the domain name of my employer. I'm not using Microsoft Exchange or Outlook. I have tried deleting and reentering the accounts and that did not work. I can receive messages but get error messages when I try to send. 
    The same for messaging. I don't use it very often. But yesterday I get a text message  and tried to respond and got the error message.
    I power the phone off every night because I have a landline and use that as the primary phone at home.
    I have been looking around message boards trying to find a fix for this.  Has anyone had this issue and resolved it?
    Thank you.

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I forgot to add that this is a stock Pre. There are no patches or homebrew apps. 
    Edit:
    I found a fix for the email problem, in posts on precentral and this board from a few months ago. The info came up in a Google search, and not searches of the boards, which is kind of frustrating.  Here is the info, and the link.  I really wish Palm would put info about this work around on their site, or at least make it easy for people to find.  The solution is the last message in the thread linked below:
    Had the same problem.  Checked with Earthlink - no help.  Checked with Sprint - no help.  Checked with Palm - no help.  Here is what finally worked:
    Delete the earthlink account and start over.  When you do - this is the key - set up the account manually!  If you use the Pre defaults and try to change the settings it will not correct the problem. Your settings for outgoing mail must be:
    "smtpauth.earthlink.net"
    Use Authentication set to "on"
    username is your email address
    your email password
    port set to "587"
    encryption "none"
    Again, the key is to set up manually.

  • Separate Email and SMS messages not found

    Hi Guyz,
    I'm just wondering, I can't find any options under messages separating email and SMS messages on my 8100.  Would this be a platform issue?  My current platform is v4.2.0.  Is there a way to download and upgrade a new platform?  Or can i just download a theme that has that option...
    Thanks in advance

    Go into messages,
    Press Menu button,
    Scroll to options,
    then general options,
    scroll down and you will see SMS and Email inboxes: Theme controlled etc, change it to seperate.
    If your issue is resolved, put a checkmark in the green box that contains the resolution.
    OR
    If it was just/or also really helpful - Give it a Kudos.. Go on Mate.. Help the rest of the clueless blackberry user world find their answer too..

  • EMail and SMS problem

    hi 
    I just got a Blackberry Pearl. I configured it to receive my email. Now there is an email icon and all the email goes there. BUT it also started going into the folder that was the repository for SMS text messages. So someone told me to go into general options, select SMS and Email inboxes and choose Separate.  I did that but wiht the net result that the SMS folder now shows only my email and the Email folder also shows my email.
    The only way to get to my SMS inbox is to select the menu options, select View FOlder, then select SMS Inbox which is a little cumbersome.
    How do i fix that so my emails go to my email folder and the SMSes go to my SMS folder?
    ALso is there a way to prevent the Blackberry from notifying my every time i get a new email. I am fine with being notified when I get a new SMS?
    thanks
    Sandip 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    To create seperate folders for email and sms, yes you open any of you message folders and hit the menu key, select options then general options, scroll down to sms and email inboxes, change that to seperate. then hit the back key and select save. You should now have a sms icon for text, an icon for each email and an icon for messages that will catch everything. If you do not have these icons try a battery pull. Remove the battery with the phone on and leave it out for 30 seconds. Replace it and allow the phone 1-3 minutes to reboot. Can you now find all the icons?

  • Email and SMS Alerts - Solution Manager - PI and EP

    Hi All,
    I am trying to do the below scenario.....But somehow i am lost in the process.
    I have a three system PI landscape and a Solution Manager. I have included the DEV PI in solution manager for CCMS,the CCMS agents are online and it also reflects in RZ20.
    Now the requirement is SOLMAN should send email and sms alerts in below situations which occur in PI system.
    1.The ABAP or JAVA engine goes down.
    2.One of the filesystem crosses certain predefined limit.
    3.Any of the java server node stops working
    4.If any critical job gets cancelled in sm37
    I am looking at steps on how to define the alert categories, auto reaction methods, also the nodes where i have to assign these auto reaction methods.
    I have gone through CCMS documentations, played all sim files and gone through most of the pdf files but i am not able to establish proper steps to do it.
    I am Redhat Linux,Oracle 10g, SOLMAN 7 with PI7
    Can i extend the same for the EP systems also which are pure Java Stack Systems ?
    Also i would like to know if i can send customized alert messages.
    Best Regards
    Raghu

    Hi Juan,
    Thanks for your response.
    I am looking at the MTE classes i.e for the above situations which MTE classes are required.
    Also i have read in some document that we can send the alerts directly to the email IDs and cell numbers without having to mention them in user masters in SU01. Where to mention these ?
    I have my SCOT settings done for email servers.
    The process which i had built up in my mind is all mixed up and i am lost where to do which configuration
    Best Regards
    Raghu

  • Email and SMS notifications stop working occassion...

    I recently updated the firmware on my E71 to the latest.  I now have an issue where the email and SMS notifications on the home page periodically disappear.  Once the notification icons have disappeared, I need to restart my device in order to get the icons back again.  This never happened with the old firmware.
    Is this happening to anyone else?  Thank you.

    Sounds like an software issue..
    Perhaps you may wanna try reinstall the firmware on your phone or do the following:
    - A soft reset by keying in *#7780# when on standby - This will not delete any data but will restore all the settings back to default.
    If that does not help then you may wanna try doing a hard reset by keying in *#7370# when on standby - This will reformat the phone. DO NOT FORGET TO DO A BACK UP AS THIS WILL ERASE YOUR ENTIRE PHONE MEMORY.
    The security code by default is 12345

  • I m trying to send a email and sms alert using php and it works fine on all systems except on Iphone,the problem is swedish charcters doesn't show on iphones used by people in sweden but works absolutely fine on iphones in india. plz help

    I m trying to send a email and sms alert to people and it works fine on all systems expect on Iphone,the problem is swedish charcters doesn't show on iphones used by people in sweden but works absolutely fine on iphones in india.
    the code i m using is right below,plz have a look and not into the problem as problem is a bit strange.
    $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" ;
                $headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"UTF-8\"\n";
                $headers .= "X-Priority: 1 (Highest)\n";
                $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
                $headers .= "Importance: High\n";
                // Additional headers
                $headers .= 'From: Rakesh <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";

    not able to make outgoing calls in iphone4. Regularly i face this problem, at the same time i receive incoming call, can do net surfing, can access email and sms, only outgoing calls get failed every time. please answer to solve this problem

    Good day Sidharth Namrta,
    It sounds like you are unable to make any calls, but you can recieve them, and everything else seems to work fine. I recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get that resolved, named:
    iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls
    Follow the steps below to resolve this issue. Please test after each step.
    Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
    Check your phone settings:
    Check your Do Not Disturb settings: Tap Settings > Do Not Disturb.
    Check for any blocked phone numbers: Tap Settings > Phone > Blocked.
    See if Call Forwarding is turned on: Tap Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding.
    Ensure that your software is up to date:
    Check for a carrier settings update.
    Check for an iOS software update. 
    Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
    If the iPhone has a SIM card, reseat the SIM card.
    If the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s is on the Verizon network, dial *228 from the iPhone and select option 2 to update the Preferred Roaming List (PRL). The PRL determines the cellular towers the phone uses for cellular service, selecting those with the best signal strength.
    Reset the network settings: Tap  Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Try to make or receive calls in another location.
    Attempt to isolate to one network band:
    If you're having the issue on LTE, disable LTE, if possible, and try again.
    If you're having the issue on 3G/4G, disable 3G/4G, if possible, and try again.
    Contact the carrier to check the following:
    Your account is properly configured to use the specific iPhone that has the issue.
    There are no localized service outages.
    Your account doesn't have a billing-related block.
    Your calls don't have errors on the carrier system.
    Restore the phone as new.
    If the above steps don't resolve the issue, go to an Apple Retail Store, carrier, Apple Authorized Reseller, or contact AppleCare to send the phone in for service.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling
