N80 phone locks up when sending SMS

Hi!
When I first got the phone I had no problems, but lately my phone has started locking up when I send a SMS message. It stays "locked" (nothing works and it doesn't react to pushing any bottons) for 2-3min until it sends the SMS. Anyone has a similar problem? It is very annoying since you can't use the phone during these 2-3 minutes
I'd appreciate any help

Hi people,
This may relate to all owners of S60 phones.
If you experience slow OS responses from your phone, it may be that you have too many applications running.
1. Press and hold the menu key, which will bring up the programs list.
2. Highlight the application you want to end and press "C"
I recommend ending all applications that are not being used. Please note, DO NOT end the "Standby" application as that refers to your phone.
Hope this helps.
Also a hard reset solved the problem on mine. Just make sure you have a back up of all the contacts etc and don't rely on the backup phone memory as my N80 doesn't do it. I had to restore using PCSuite.
Oh and you can't end Standby either it doen't do anything.
Is that an N95 in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?!?
Life's too important to take seriously.

Change sender's name when sending SMS

Dear Skype supporter,
I would like to use my name which is different from my skype name and forbid the message reply when sending SMS. Whether it works? I found I can either show my skype name or my mobile phone number when sending SMS. Look forward to your kind reply.
Thanks a lot.

We created a skype to send SMS to customers.
When receiving the SMS it currently shows an unknown phone number, is it possible to change this phone number into a company name? If so how can I do this?
Thank you.
Because SMS goes out over mobile phone networks, the messages must be sent from a number. Since Skype does not provide a way to receive SMS messages, the closest you can get to using your own number would be to set up a mobile number (except mobiles in Japan or Mexico) as Caller ID. Then your Skype SMS messages could carry your mobile number, providing a way for people to reply to your messages.

Contact not selected when sending SMS

Hello,
I am using PC Suite 7.0.8.2 on WinXP Sp3 (standard user or admin: no difference); Nokia 6080; connection: USB.
Evereything seems to be ok but I have problems when composing/sending sms:
if I key in the phone number my sms is sent;
but if I choose a contact name the phone number is not displayed (I just see a semicolon and the sms is not sent (but I do not receive any error message). The same happens if I choose a contect in Contacts and then clic on "Send sms to this contact"
I have tried to uninstall and install PC Suite again, but the problem is not solved
Any idea?
Thanks

ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:

"short message transfer rejected" when sending sms.

Hello
I recently moved back to Sweden from USA, while there I had a blackberry curve 8900 with Tmobile. Since I was moving and had proof, I broke from the contract and got an unlock pin for my phone so I could use it on any network. The phone was fine until I decided to plug the 8900 into the pc and upgrade the os to 5.xxxx or so. since then I've recieved that error message when trying to send sms. I would call my carrier but I'm in Sweden using pay as you go, so I'm not sure if I can do that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Fair enough. OS 5.x isn't very reliable on the 8900 - there are a ton of known bugs with the phone. Its one of the reason RIM pushed it out only to carries demanding the software upgrade.
If needed you can obtain earlier releases of the OS and downgrade - just remember to kill the vendor file. On a flip-note, the Sweeden carrier won't know your outside Sweeden unless you tell them

IPhone 5 locks up when sending a picture text

My iphone 5 locks up when trying to send a picture from the actual picture, right after taking it. It is fine if you start a text then attach a picture. Any ideas?
It didn't used to be like this.
Thanks!

Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
Then test to see if it solved the problem.

Time lags when sending sms

hey gang, got 3250. and since past month its been acting wierd. when i try sending a message, it freezes for a while (1 full minute) and basically i cant do anything else while sending. and sometimes i cant even access the messages until i reboot the phone.
what i did:
updated the software using the online procedure.
took of battery and sim card, cleaned. placed them back
nothing happened. problem still occurs.
trying to restore to default settings, but its asking for password. i tried 1234 and 0000, unfortunatly didnt work.
can anybody provide me with the default password and additional troubleshooting methods. cuz honestly am fed up with this phone acting like a *****

i already did download the latest firmware from http://mea.nokia.com/A4346318
i cant find the sms accelerator that you recommended, if you can provide with link, that will be great.
and now that i installed the new firmware, its even acting more wierd. i cant assign speed dial.
is there a way to get rid of the whole software and reinstal the stuff again?

8350i: Invalid Service Center when sending SMS

Some time back I followed older posts about enabling the 8350i to copose SMS texts. Prior to that, menu options seemed to allow only MMS and not SMS. Those posts basically involved going into Options->SMS Text and changing the Data Coding to UCS2 and the Service Center to +Personal info removed (originally blank) followed by a battery pull. It all seemed to work find afterwards, that is SMS was then a menu option and sending/receiving SMS was working.
Many weeks have passed and now all of a sudden, I get an "Invalid Service Center" when I try to send an SMS. I can receive just fine but just can't send. I have attempted resetting the Data Coding and Service Center with no luck. Whenever I change the Service Center, it merely reverts back to +1personal info removed. I've tryied a Master Radio Reset with no luck as well.
Any help on what to do is appreciated.

Hey avni0302,
Sorry for the delay in response. Can you please tell me what version of device software you are running on your BlackBerry? Also are you still using the BlackBerry 9300?
Once I have this information I can do some testing.

Hide keypad when sending SMS

When creating a SMS is there a way to hide the keyboard when adding mutiple recipients?
When creating a message on the iPhone 4 there are three element to the screen; top field where recipients are added, centre field where text is entered, bottom field = keypad.
After creating the message and adding 6 recipients the '+' symbol to add more recipinets is no longer visible, so is there a way to hide the keypad so that the '+' symbol is accessible?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I just tried this on my phone and I noticed 2 things.
1) when you are adding more recipients and the lists gets down to the keyboard, then list of recipients moves down with the newest one so the + is always visible.
2) you can scroll up and down the list of recipients just like you would scroll up and down an internet screen.

Can't get phone number up when sending an iMessage

When setting up a new iphone 5 c can't seem to get the iMessage to work properly meaning cannot send or receive messages and when it does work can only get it to come up as an email not phone number and wen anyone txts me to my number messages don't come through

Your cell phone number will be grayed out under You can be reached by iMessage at - that can't be deselected on an iPhone with iMessage. If your phone number is grayed out and can't be selected under Start new conversations from, that is likely due to the waiting for iMessage activation problem.

Phone Froze breifly when sending text with apple logo IOS7.0.3

This maybe hugely premature but i updated my phone yesterday to 7.0.3 and all seems fine. Just now i was typing a text message and as soon as i hit the send button i was greeted with a white screen and the apple logo. I left for a minute and the phone seemed to right itself. Is this somthing i should be concerned about ?.
Thought i would post this just incase someone else finds the same after upgrading. Never had this before and years of happiness using iphone.
Paul

Just got over this same situation. Called apple, they thought it needed to be sent in for repair, but it doesnt. I kept connecting it to iTunes and trying to perform the update and restore, it took me about 4-5 times to do it until my phone finally started working again. You might run into a few errors while Doing it, but it should work! Then you're going to have to "setup" your phone again.

My I phone 4s hangs when sending I message more so since iOS 7

Can any one suggest a solution

Problem sending SMS to non iPhone users

Hi!
I have this problem when sending SMS to non iPhone users (BB users and simple phone users) they get the message in chunks... For example if I send one message with 131 characters they get the sms in 5 chunks, pieces...
I deactivated the MMS feature (in case that was that) but the problem persists...
Any ideas?

I exchange SMS on a fairly regular basis with non-iPhone users - with those who are also AT&T subscribers and with those who are not, and this has never been reported to me by any non-iPhone user that I exchange messages with.
Doubtful this is being caused by the iPhone. I suggest calling AT&T technical support to report this and be prepared to answer a question such as which carrier the non-iPhone users are with.

N73 Hangs Sometimes after sending SMS

I am using N73(non music edition). I am having a strange problem in my phone. Sometimes after sending sms the phone hangs. When I press menu key to check the background applications it shows "message" there. When I try to kill it by pressing 'c' key of my phone it displays exit application? When I click on yes nothing happens. The message application still remain there in background process. I tried many times but I am unable to kill this application from running in background. Another surprising point is that how message application goes in the background process as I always property exit from message after sending the sms. The only way to get out of this problem is to restart the phone. But I dont want to restart my phone every time. Can anyone help me to get out of this problem?? plz help..

Sounds like your phone is having some software issues.
you wanna try to do a software update using NSU. you may get this from http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/non-fota-update-phone
Or alternatively you may key in *#7370# on your phone when on stand by mode., This will also reflash your software, DO NOT FORGET TO DO A BACK UP AS THIS WILL WIPE OUT YOUR PHONE MEMORY.
Mark me a KUDOS if this has helped...
