No sound for text or asterisk on home page.

My girlfriend has a Q10 and when she receives a text the phone will not vibrate or make noise, the asterisk does not appear on top right corner of text icon on home page either? The text is there and she can reply but the small D that lets you know its delivered doesn't appear where it should either, only the check mark even though its delivered? I have restored it to an old back up file and it seems to work ok. This has happened several times, sometimes its the text that doesn't work and sometimes its bbm. this is getting tiresome. I too have a Q10 and have had no trouble with it, hers has been taken in and sent away but still has same problems after update??? I hope some one can help!

Have you tried adjusting them in the Sounds setting to see if that will prompt them to work again?

There are two places where vibrations can be set.
One is the Settings > Sounds
The other area is Settings > Notifications
If you have an app set to Alert, it may have a vibration set for it.

Latest update no sound for text, email, plugging in ipad

since the latest update a couple of days ago my iPad sounds will not work. I mean the ones for incoming text messages, emails, plugging the iPad in- ALL STANDARD SOUNDS OFFERED BY APPLE NOT downloaded sounds! This is very frustrating. I have synced my iPad on my computer, i have shut down the iPad numerous times, if anyone else is having this problem please let me know. If it's an Apple bug please fix it.
thank you

I think that you have system sounds muted.
If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7 or iOS 8. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

I used Mpeg Streamclip last night to take the .mov files to DV, but same thing I put into iDVD and made a disk image. Once all done i opened the image and the videos were there, but no audio.
This first dvd had 2 of the videos in it the totaled about 90mins. I will try using the higher format. Also with having MPEG streamclip now, I guess I should go back to the .WMV files and try to converting form them? instead of the .mov files.

I have lost sound for text on iphone5

I have lost sound on texting. Happened after going out of U.S. and coming back. This happened recently when I went out of the country too. I called ATT--did soft reset, checked all settings and that didn't work. It does vibrate, but no sound.

Try playing music on the phone, and then try turing the volume button up, if the doesn't resolve the issue, then try resetting all your settings (this will delete any wi-fi network passwords that are saved on the device.) If all else fails always try backing up and restoring the device. Follow this article if you want to try the restore option.

How do I put an icon for Outlook Express on the home page????

Having just moved into FF 3.6.1 from IE8, I am use to having an icon for the mail (outlook express) on the home page. I set outlook up in 'Options';'Applications';'mailto' as default, however, how do I set up an icon on the home page that will enable me to read my mail.

GetMail extension adds that feature to Firefox. <br />

I have no sound for text, games, music, web.

This just started 4 days ago. The phone has not been wet. The silent button is not on, the do not disturb button is off. When I press the volume buttons for ringtone, only the ringer picture shows up but the volume buttons are not showing up. When I try to rest my phone it is asking for password, I have never set one. Please help?

Samsung Stratosphere no vibration or sound for text messages?

Any ideas what to do?

Hi -
Yes I am using the one that was preinstalled. Yes - that is already turned on. :-(
I'm pretty sure that I am stuck with a lemon until I will be able to get a new one in two years, or until I change companies :-(. After being a loyal customer for almost 10 years, I am really disappointed in Verizon and their Insurance company - I paid $99 expecting to get a new phone.
I appreciate that you tried!

Firefox is not working for me. Specifically, my home page is my hotmail sign in page... and it will let me sign in & log out, but it won't let me open any messages, compose a message or switch between folders. Thanks.

I tried downloading updates several times, several different days but I got a message saying it was up to date when I tried to install it. I've had problems for about a week on 2 different computers. I tried checking different features (on my desktop) but haven't had any luck getting it to work. IE will allow me to read messages on the same computer, so help.
Actually today firefox won't pull up any website. I downloaded an update for adobe flash player today, hoping that would help but I think it made things worse.

Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

After upgrading to firefox 4 for yahoo my "My Yahoo" home page loads wide I use the scroll bar to see it all.

This is an intermittent problem. I have not changed any of my setting in "My Yahoo" that would account for this problem. How can I fix this without changing the font size.

Solution for my problem: I had simultaneously blocked some items on my page using Adblock Plus. I removed those personal blocks and the page is back to normal.

Why do the options for a new Home page always appear first when I sign in when I already have a Home page?

The screen page for creating a new Firefox Home page always shows up first when I sign on.....but, I already have a Home page and have to click again to get there.
How can I get Firefox to go directly to my actual Home page?

Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.

How to set the home page in FF14.0 for Android?

Just installed FF14.0 for Android. Previous versions allowed users to set their own home page - how is this done in this version?

Shame Firefox does not have ability to support this.
Have recently downloaded Firefox Beta for Android & had been using Aurora. For both - get this Tab home page - not user choice. Was hoping the ability to select own Home Page would be added to a future update.
Didn't like this feature in Chrome - so deliberately don't use Chrome in any OS. Lots of people complained about this in Chrome. Not sure why Firefox would want to restrict what users can do??
(A key feature of Firefox & Netscape before it is that users are able to control & optimise for their own experience - which is the main reason it has been so well supported over many years.)

How do I retrieve my system icon back to iPad home page.

Replace icon for my systems back to home page?

If you can't find the Systems app on any of your homescreens or app folders, then can you find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right) ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. You could also do Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will re-arrange all of your apps and app folders and might make it easier to find.

No sound for text or asterisk on home page.
