N96 - Blinking Message Icon on screen

Hi,
I just bought the phone yesterday and the message icon keeps blinking all the time. I have rebooted the phone and done the necessary checks. There are no messges in my inbox or any other folder. Can you tell me how do I turn it off? It's kinda irritating...!
It just keeps on blinking ALL THE TIME!!!
Other than that... I've had no issues till now.
Regards,
Viral

The blinking envelope icon appears to be a reminder that you have your old SMSs still stored on your SIM card, and N96 needs them to be transferred to the phone memory -ether internal, mass storage or memory card- to properly display and manage them.
That's a great tip - thanks!

Blinking message Icon - Please help!

Hi all!
On my new E75, there is a continously blinking message icon on the upper right corner. It's been happening ever since i bought it. I've checked my unread messages and emails - there even seems to be nothing about it in the User Guide book. Please help me - I find it highly irritating and distracting.
Thank you,
sm04

But kudos to you for searching on the forum and getting the solution that way instead of reposting the same question for the 234435434354364364th time!

The message icon is not showing in the drop screen of my photos it used to show before and now it's not there how can I get it back?

The message icon is not showing in the drop screen of my photos where it says do you want to email, message, assign, use as waller paper etc. it used to show before and now it's not there how can I get it back?

Did this back along to mine. Plug it into itunes on your pc (or Mac) and click on the ipod icon on the left hand side. When the device options come up on the main screen, click on restore. Follow the steps and it should restore to factory settings. If you had icloud activated on the ipod all previous purchases should be in the cloud and ready to download onto the ipod afte rit has been restored to factory settings, otherwise you'll have to download them all again. Hope it helped.

At start up I get a white screen then eventually a blinking folder icon with a question mark in the middle

Help! As of today, my iMac will not boot up. When I turn it on I get a blank white screen then, after about a minute, a blinking folder icon with a question mark in the middle.

Find your original install disk, insert it and re-boot holding the "C" key during startup. It will take longer but should boot. Then you need to select Disk Utilityfrom the Menu Bar. Do a Repair Disk on your hard drive. When it finishes re-boot normally.

Selecting Messages or Text Messages Icon takes me to the recent calls screen instead.

Hi,
This just started yesterday.
When I select either Messages or Text Messages icon I am not taken to those apps, Instead I get the recent calls screen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Try this -
When you device is POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery. This make a reboot to your device which resolves minor issues with the BlackBerry device.

Messaging->options->sim messages->delete them

Re Message Icon in top screen shows when all messages deleted

Please help, not too adept at technology so simplistic terms would help! The envelope message icon shows 1 at the top of my screen and the message and e mail icons at the bottom of the screen when I put the cursor on them show (1) denoting a message but when I open the message and e mail message boxes there are no messages in. Many thanks if you can help.

On the home screen the Messaging icon says I have unviewed messages but when I go into Messaging, there are no unviewed messages. Any ideas?

I am using my Droid RAZR M phone, and the messaging app that comes installed on it. Under app info it says version 4.4.2-15. I haven't downloaded any other messaging apps.
I have also deleted ALL of my text messages from anyone & rechecked my voicemail. I still have "1 unread msg" and it is driving me crazy! LOL
Thanks for your time!

Blinking notification icon/spotlight icon in top right screen menu

I have an issue in the top of the finder window. I have a blinking notification icon/spotlight icon in top right screen menu. I am not able to click on the notification icon and change any settings.

Same thing occurs after restart. It will not occur under guest login? Is there preference I can trash?

Imac G5 ALS shows grey screen with blinking folder icon on startup

Helping a friend - her imac G5 got the blinking folder icon with question mark and grey screen and then wouldn't start. She had OS 10.4.11. I booted from install disk successfully- Disk Util said No repairs Necessary. Disk Warrior hung (never had that happen before). Performed Safe Boot. Multiple reboots were all successful.
But a few days later, it happened again. Then I did a clean install of 10.5 and all software updates. Restored her user folder from a clone I'd made before starting. All seemed well.
Now, the grey screen with folder question mark still occurs fairly often. If she restarts, she does get booted. (so far anyway)
My question: what do I need to do to resolve the grey screen with blinking folder icon on startup?
Additionally, the computer is slower than before. Does Leopard run slower on these machines than Tiger? (I'd already advised her to get more ram)
Thanks for your help!

The blinking folder means just that, it can't find an OS to boot to. Tray zapping the PRAM and it wouldn't hurt to run Rember and if the RAM checks out, she might want to add some, 512 is really a minimum, and Leopard should really have at least 1GB.

No message-icon after update

Hello!
Updated my z1 yesterday and now I have a problem to see if I have received a message or not when I've "locked" the screen... There's no message-icon on the top of the screen as it was before update.
This means I have to enter my phone password everytime to see if I have received messages....
Any tips to get this back? Annoying to log on every second to see if I got a message or not..
Thank you.

Have you recently updated to 4.4?Have you tried a forced restart(power button+vol up until the phone vibrates)?

How can I get my instant message icon to open? Seems to be stuck.

I wrote several instant messages this morning on my AirMac. No problem. Went back to read and respond to new IM, but IM icon will not open. If the IM comes in when I am on the computer, I can read it in the upper right hand corner of my MacBook Air before it goes away, but I cannot respond. Can anyone tell me how to open the Instant Message icon?

Try clicking on the apple symbol at the top left of the screen and chosing "Force Quit" and then close IM.
Once its closed it should reopen without a problem

What does a blinking folder icon with a question mark mean when turning on computer?

When I turn on my Mac Book Pro all I get is a blinking forder icon with a question mark in it in the middle of the screen. What does this mean and how can I fix it?

Your Mac is not able to find a system folder to boot from so it displays the question mark.

Nokia 6300 - Instant Messaging icon/functionality ...

Hi everybody,
I'm from Canada, and just bought a Nokia 6300 brand new a few days ago. This morning, I went on my phone to change the wallpaper, and for a second, the phone blinked and changed back to the default provider theme. I then changed back the wallpaper, but when I go into the menu, my instant messaging icon is not there anymore. Obviously, restarting the phone didn't solve the problem.
I don't know if anybody got this problem before. I've seen other functionalities missing like Calculator and Email and such, so maybe it's a software fault. Anyone can advise how to fix this problem? Is this a good phone or I just see the problems with it?
My firmware version is 4.71 28/02/2007.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It seems like your phones software has gone a bit corrupted. Please update it with the Nokia Software Updater. This should solve your problem, if not then you need to take the phone to a Nokia Service Center.

Cannot return to message list while in a message without clicking on "compose new message icon" and then cancelling it.

After updating to 8.1 from 8 i cannot return to my message list from inside a message without clicking on the "compose new message" icon and then canceling out of that.
Also, where it used to say return, it now says "Edit" and the word "Message" on the top of the screens is scruched together.
Here is a link to a screenshot of my phone from the main messages listing.
And here is a link to a screen shot of my phone from within a message.

Hi Sir,
Code snippet for reference:
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, ByRef Cancel As Boolean)Handles OutlookApplication.ItemSend
Try
Dim SentMailItemObject As Outlook.MailItem
SentMailItemObject = CType(Item,
Outlook.MailItem)
‘Can
we add here User property in Mail Object Reference?
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message, MsgBoxStyle.Information)
End Try
End
Sub
