Post relates to: Treo 650 (Cingular)

Myself, I've never seen an Urdu version of Palm OS before, sorry. 
AT&T (the company that bought Cingular) doesn't use Picture SMS, only MMS to send pictures. 
Emailing pictures from the phone is another way.

  • Nokia 2700 Classsic Picture SMS Problem

    Hi
    I'm using Nokia 2700 Classic. I've a problem with Picture SMS. When I receive a Picture SMS and I wanna forward it as Picture SMS the cell phone make this sms as MMS and I can't send it as SMS. And my service provider charges for MMS. While in Picture SMS it contains equals to 3 text messages. & Nokia 2700 Classic creating a problem for me. Kindly solve it.
    CyBeNtIzEn

    Hi and welcome. The 2700 is supported by Nokia Suite. After sync of the SMS's to the suite, they can be exported from the suite as a .csv file to use in other programs.
    http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/support/product-archive/?action=productArchive&tid=1571712&searchTerm=Nok...
    It may also be possible to transfer the SMS's from the old phone to a new phone via Bluetooth (Connection -> Data Transfer -> Phone Change) but that option may not apply to the 2700 and your new phone.
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • Picture sms

    upgraded to the new 3.1 update, but how do you send pictures via sms? in the sms app, theres no option for it, and when in photos, there also is no option for it. anybody have any clue.

    3.1 had nothing to do with MMS (texting pics). 3.0 made the iphone capable of MMS. AT&T has not activated this feature yet.
    AT&T announced days ago when MMS will be available:

  • E50 Sms Myfolders Transfering to 6220c

    hello
    i am having a small trouble in nokia content transfer/switch application.
    Recently i have updated my handset from E50 to 6220c. I have transfered
    all data from E50 to 6220c except messages. My E50 had around about
    7000-8000 messages in total with "My Folders" & Inbox having around 3000 messages.
    I have tried copying/transfering these messages to 6220c but its not possible.
    Things I have tried are-
    1.Switch application- does not respond when i do the message transfer.
    2.Nokia PC Suite- Does not restore My Folders.
    3.Paste option is disabled in PC Suite for some privacy reasons.
    4.When i restore the backup taken from E50 by PC suite to 6220c, it does not
      restore the my folders and also sometimes the data on my 6220c is lost.
    Now Im having the backup + all the messages ie. (.vmg) format files in my pc.
    I would be very thankful if any one helps me out in restoring the messages
    from my old phone E50 to 6220c. It would be great if all the messages are restored
    with all the info. and details. Thanks a ton !
    *Also if any one has any applications/softwares of 6220c regarding-
    1.Picture SMS
    2.Sending Flash SMS
    3.Draw Picture SMS & Send
     + Collection of monochromes (72X28 pixel images)
     + Picture SMS viewer
    4.File Explorer

    i have transferred all my text messages from E50 to 6220c.
    first i created a backup of E50 then restored using latest PC Suite.
    Now while restoring the message appears auto matically that due to model
    differences of the 2 Phones, the restoration might have some errors but the
     new data will be copied without erasing/overwriting the previous one.
    So  i proceed. After that i noticed only my messages in inbox were transferred.
    So i shifted all my messages from my folder and put 'em in Inbox.
    Then created Back up and restred.

  • Unusual message appearing on my screen

    Hey, today i wtinessed a very strange message on my phone, my phone was locked and i got my phone out of my pocket and it had a message saying "i now have control of your phone. i can hear everything you say". once i unlocked the key pad it disappeared and i havnt seen it since.
    it wasnt in a sms format, more of a screensaver, but my phone has not been jail broken and i do not have a screensaver on it. so it has baffled me.
    has anybody else encountered this problem?
    many thanks
    Brett

    Hi,
    Lets break this down.. You are saying that you are getting a msg on your screen displaying this odd msg... It most likely a joke by a friend/family member. Has it only shown up once? Or is it when ever you screen goes into lock mode?
    Check to see if there a wallpaper set with this msg as the actual picture. Change your wallpaper. Unless you phone is unlocked I don't know of a way for anyone to access your phone via through the air.
    1)Change wallpaper then hit the sleep/wake button to see wallpaper
    2)Turn off wifi when not in use. You only need to turn on when needed. Conserves battery also.
    But if you are truly concerned just make sure you have the latest Itunes update ON your computer then connect your phone and do a Backup. Refer to article below on how to do this.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 Backup "Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software"
    After you are sure you backed up and synced your contacts, music, applications etc, etc. Just do a complete restore of the phone. Good luck!

  • [python] setting a variable in a loaded module from the main script

    Hi,
    I have have two python scripts, one generally controlling my desktop wallpaper, the other downloads the APOD picture from the net and sets it as my wallpaper.
    At the moment I can get the wallpaper script to load the apod script as a module to use its functionality.
    The problem comes when I try to get the module to recognise variables set from the parent script:
    I have both scripts using the variable  'verbose' to control how much output is printed, (which can be set from the command line options).
    How do I get the 'verbose' variable in the imported module to be the same as the variable set by the script?
    I can get it into an imported function using a keyword assignment when called, 'download(verbose=options.verbose)', but this is forgotten when other functions are called.
    I have also tried making it a global variable.
    I assume it is because I am importing the module and setting the default value before the main script sets its value, but I cant see a way round this.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    Drew

  • Is there a widget for this?

    I am hoping that some one knows of a widget or another piece of software that allows one to send Picture SMS's I have seen all the widgets that send regular txt sms but none that do it for pics.
    I don't really care what sort of software it is widget or otherwise or even if it is a webbased service. I just need to send pictures to people this way.
    Thanks
    Craig

    sorry, it wouldn't do pics.

  • Best app or program for backing up everything on iPhone

    I have just put iOS4 on my 3G and yes I lost all my contacts my calendar reminders,my notes,my book marks and some pics.Does anyone know what the best app or program is for backing up everything from my iPhone
    Contacts,Calendar,Notes,Bookmarks,Pictures,Sms and anything else I've forgoten.
    I've heard of Touch copy which can do all is there a better one about?

    If you still have the backup file, a program like this might let you pull the data:
    http://homepage.mac.com/vaughn/msync/
    I use PhoneView which is Mac-only, but TouchCopy is frequently recommended here and I've not seen bad comments about it.
    As Justin said, regular syncing is the best backup. To protect myself beyond that:
    I always manually move my backup file so that iTunes does not overwrite it with a new one, allowing me to roll back.
    Before major syncing activities (such as setting up a new phone) I generally export an archive from my calendar and address book apps, or duplicate the database, so that if it all goes wrong I can roll back to those--I would expect Outlook has a similar feature.
