Problems with new message alert on home screen (No...

Not sure if this problem is specific to the Nokia X6 but this is really annoying me! I have contacted Nokia through their form as well as speaking to an advisor...
Basically, when your phone has been auto-locked, is there a way other than the ridiculous little light flashing once to alert you to a new message? I often have my phone on silent during the day and can’t see this little white light (notification light/menu button). On my previous phone, the whole main screen used to light up when I received a text but I can't find a way to do that on the X6....
I thought I had found a quick fix as it seems to do it if the screen is unlocked then the backlight will go off, however, then the auto-lock kicks in and I’m back to square one again!! Please can anyone advise me on either:
1)      If there is a way for the main screen to light up when you receive a message if your phone has been locked (i.e. black screen)
2)      Or if not, a way to turn off the auto keyguard lock?
It’s gonna drive me completely round the twist if I can’t find a solution!
Thanks for your help in advance...

In answer to the original question, you can change the settings for the noification light under Menu>Settings>Notification light, but there is no way to make the screen light up when locked - the phone is behaving as it is designed to behave.
In answer to the second issue with the incoming notification stopping altogether, if the factory settings reset has not solved the issue then you can try reformatting the device using the code *#7370#, make a backup with Ovi Suite before doing so but leave out 'Settings' from the backup.
If the phone contains thousands of SMS messages, this could cause or at least contribute to issues in some phones.
Please note: Users of Symbian^3 devices should not use device reformatting as a general troubleshooting method, but in older S60 devices like the X6 described here you should not experience any issues as a result.
If this or any post answers your question, please remember to help others by pressing the 'Accept as solution' button.

  • X3-02 problem with new firmware, "waiting" on home...

    Hello,
    Today I've got new firmware 6.02 via Nokia Ovi Suite. After that on Home Screen on one of the bar word "Waiting" appeared.
    I can't delete this, can't set something else instead. In Home Screen settings that bar is inactive.
    I've tried reinstall firmware, remove battery for some time but nothing helped.
    Please help.
    I'm from Poland.

    Pls check the memory in use for ur contacts. If u've assigned favourite contacts from phone memory, & they are duplicated d/t any cause,eg being saved 2 times or both sim & phone memory in use then it leads to the msg waiting. To avoid this, set the memory to phone & delete duplicated contacts from the phone memory.
    I'm not sure what do u mean by bar inactive as after reinstalling firmware all bars are activated. One for fav contacts, one for communities, one for shortcuts
    Please mark the post as solution if it solves your problem.

  • Problem with new message after creating a note

    Has anyone else had this behavior in Mail 3? It happens to me quite frequently- the problem goes like this:
    Create a new note
    Hit done on the new note to save it
    Then, when trying to create a new message, nothing happens. I can hit the button all day and nothing happens.
    Next, upon quitting mail, I see all of these drafts show up and when I restart Mail, there are as many blank drafts as times I tried to create a new message.
    I've sent a bug report. It doesn't happen all the time but it has happened a lot to me.

    Yes!
    I have this same problem. I had not bothered to track down its root cause, but I do (rarely) use the Notes feature in Mail, so that may well be what triggers this annoying behavior.

    Hey linfrommi,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:

  • Wifi problems with new ipad

    I'm trying to learn how to correct wifi problems with new iPad.  It is the wifi only, 64GB model.  I want to be able to use it at work, where we have a great wifi network.  I can usually connect to our network with no problem, but after an hour or so my iPad loses the network.  When I try to reconnect, I see that the network is showing full strength reception, but I get the error message from the iPad that I am "Unable to join" the network.  My iPhone connects to the same network seamlessly, as do all of the other iPhones of my co-workers and the older generation iPads that some of our staff has.
    At other locations, I typically have no problems (home, apple store, etc.) but I have had the same situation pop up at a coffee shop where I could see that there was a wifi network available, but I could not join it even though it was the shop's free wifi. 
    I have tried turning the iPad off, turning off wifi and turning it back on again, and forgetting the wifi network in question.  I can't think of any other methods that are available to an end user to correct the problem. 
    I have already gone to the Apple store to swap out the unit, and the newer one is having the same symptoms. 
    Can anyone offer any advice here?  This is quite frustrating.

    No problem! Have a read at this most interesting article which has special significance as regards your models!

  • List of Problems with new Web Mail

    List of Problems with NEW Web Mail :
    - At first doesn't open full page message list or retain full page as default setting, have to drag down bar
    - Only shows 20 message lines after “pulling down” the divider, screen partially empty until I scroll down.  It should show at least 26, preferably all available
    - After moving bar, bar moves back up after going back to inbox (not delete message) after reading a message, have to move it down again, and again...
    - Doesn't go to next message when delete message on screen is selected, no setting option for default to do this.
    - There is a drop down to select which folder to move a selected email to.  The initial display shows 7 usable choices, with the usual slider and arrow to show more choices.  The space on the slider clearly shows more choices are present (actually about 20 or so are there), but any attempt to use the slider or arrow to see more choices causes the drop-down to instantly disappear.  I can't move the selected field with arrow keys either.  I can select any of the visible 7 choices, and move an email to only one of the 7.  NOTE: This one works in both IE and Firefox, but if Verizon Webmail was fully web standard (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_standards) compliant it would also work in my preferred browser, Mozilla Seamonkey, the direct descendant of the original Mozilla browser.  Webmail should be FULLY web standard.
    - Occasionally a message will move from inbox to trash, without NO indication or command to move them.
    - Emails occasionally flash an error message and simply disappear - not to trash or other findable place, just disappear.  No time to read the error message either.
    - No way to set a whitelist for supposed spam emails, unless the whitelist for “Blocking” is the same.  Very unclear.
    - How can I switch my service back to the original, basic, email which works ok?  I know it’s still there, since some of my other accounts still access it!!!
    This seems my only way of getting this info direclty to the programming staff.  If it doesn't actually do this, will SOMEONE PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO THEM !?!  
    Thanks!

    Contrarily, it is Verizon's, as well as other companies like Verizon whose customer base uses a wide variety of web browsers, web page designers' responsibility to use only standard W3C-recognized code and not to use non-standard non-W3C-recognized code, e.g., Microsoft's Internet Explorer specific code, when designing their web pages. In my opinion based on my observations, Verizon's web page designers are too often guilty of using IE-specific code.

  • I have two Iphones with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID. Will that cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

    I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
    I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
    If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
    Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

    Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address).  While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
    Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud.  You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

  • Problem with Nokia Messaging on my N97 (V22)

    Since afew weeks I have a strange problem with Nokia Messaging on my N97.
    I receive emails using Nokia Messaging (V10.2.26) with a date shown incorrect as 01.01.0000 and the email then can’t be opened/read.
    This happens either on 3G connection as well as WLAN and it seems to be by random, not only HTML-emails or emails with text only.
    I have uninstalled Nokia messaging already and reinstalled V10.1.24 but the problem still remains.
    Is there any idea how to fix this issue because it is quite annoying and I can’t use the full functionality of my cell phone?

  • Does video chat on the new Messager on Mac allow screen share or multiple people?

    does video chat on the new Messager on Mac allow screen share or multiple people?
    i noticed they said that facetime will basically be taking over video calls on the mac and that Messager will take over ichat, but i'm worried they're going to drop all the nice features they had on ichat, like being able to share screens while video chatting with someone. or being able to chat with 2 people at once on a video call.
    has anyone downloaded the beta of this yet and tried it out? i'm very curious

    Hi,
    You can start a Video chat with one Buddy and then chose Screen Share and providing you and the Buddy are using UPnP to open ports it will instantly convert to a Screen Share.
    A Screen Share is only 1-1 and is technically an Audio Chat +
    The Plus bit is an VNC connection alongside the Audio Chat.
    This VNC connection uses a random port - hence the need to use UPnP to open the ports in the router (Or Port Mapping Protocol) in  Apple Base Station.
    There used to be Add-ons that allowed the Desktop as Video Feed which would have been a sort of Screen Share but none of these have been updated for Lion.
    An Example is iUSBCam  (ShowMacster was another - My link no longer works)
    CamCamX maybe a possibility if it works in Lion  (It does say it neess iUSBCam for iChat)

  • Premiere Elements 13 , Problems with new text/titles

    Premiere Elements 13, bisher keine Probleme. Nachdem die Filmlänge etwa 15 Minuten beträgt immer größere Probleme Titel/texte einzugeben. Wartezeiten sind extrem lange oder Programm stürzt ganz ab.

    High ATR,
    Computer running on Widows 7 ,64 Bit System, Service Pack 1, Processor AMD Phenom(tm) X4 945 3.00 Ghz;RAM 8 GB
    Grafikkarte: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
    If the video on the timeline is longer than 10 minutes the problem will be remarkable. The response times adding a title is getting longer(2-15 seconds).
    As the video is now 18 minutes the response time is after each action(resizing of letters or any changes of the text) up to 30 seconds or the program crashes completely.
    Project settings are the following:
    General HD 1080i; 29,97frames/second; Video:1920v 1080 H, 30 fps
    Video: maximale Bittiefe, Dateiformat i-frame only mpeg, Kompressor MPRG i-Frame, Standbilder optimieren
    The video is a mixture  of full HD videos 1920x 1080 .mov and pictures up to 4608x3456 pixels.
    When the program crashes I remarked that the main memory RAM(8Gb) was fully used by the premiere program. Might there be a problem?
    Thank you for your service.

  • Problems with new catalyst

    I Have a problem with newer catalyst version 4.7 and 4.8..sometimes the screen goes totally black,it's like the montitor goes into sleep mode or screensaver.
    This can happen at startup or after while the only thing i can do is to restart the computer by turning it off(or reset).
    With cat 4.6 and the drivers before everything works fine.
    I tried fastwrites on/off(no good)
    Disable Vpu recover(no good)
    Raise agp voltage to 1.6V(no good)
    I also tried asus own driver but the same thing happens.
    However i came to think of if there is anything i should change in power managment in bios because the comp won't wake up from sleep mode when pushing on the keyboard or moving the mouse(this is with cat 4.6 wich works great otherwise)
    I hope someone have an answer to my mysterious problem

    At this point, I'm loathing my decision to mess with my vid drivers at all, and wondering how come the vid card has started to lock up in 3d..  I start messing with all sorts of settings.. Finally, tuning the AGP speed from 8X to 4X totally resolved the freezes.
    QUESTION: WHY ALL OF A SUDDEN DID 8X AGP STOP WORKING???

    Lite-ON DVD/CD+RW
    Windows XP SP2
    I have never got my 8x AGP to work, its always hard locks when I use it...dunno why I don't really care. When I upgrade to a pure 8x AGP card i might if it still happens. Actually if it continues to happen there is a good chance I will get rid of this board and get the nforce probable. But at any rate, setting AGP to 4x has always fixed every video card problem I have had since putting this computer together. So try that I suspect it will fix your problem as well.
    Also note that we have very similar setup's so try it and let us know if that works out for you.

    Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "
    i was in 4.3.1 then i do the update , but now after update i face this problem , so what i Supposed to do ?!!

    Hi There
    Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
    Solution to working You Tube app:
    -Go to playstore
    - Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
    - "Et Voila", working again.
    This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
    Hope it helped.

    How do you add a new icon to the home screen?

    The only new icons you can add to your home screen are webclips, which can be added by using the "+" button in safari on the desired web page.
    You won't be able to add new apps until February when the SDK is fully seeded to developers.

  • Problem with instant message in clustered environment

    Hello, I have some problem with Instant Message service.
    We need to use it in our Production Environment (a clustered emvironment with a central instance, two dialog instances and two web dispatchers), some months ago we tested it in Development Environment (not clustered emvironment, just a single system) and it worked fine.
    So I did the same configurations on Production Environment but it did not work.
    But if I access on my portal (Production Env.) by the central instance (avoiding the dispatchers) the instant message service works.
    I think it can be a web dispatcher's configuration problem, in its logs I found the message :
    "<i>[Thr 3700] *** ERROR => htmlEncode: called with empty string [icpif.cpp 847]</i>"
    I' ve repeated the same configuration done in Dev.Env. (no dispatcher) on the Prod.Env. (with 2 dispatcher), is possible that I'm missing some configurations??
    Could someone helps me?
