Go to Solution.

Flashing envelope could be caused by
1. You may just have an unread SMS from your last phone that is still saved on your SIM card. To check, goto Messaging>Options>SIM messages.
2. SIM card's message memory is full. Delete messages from the SIM card. Goto Messaging>Options>SIM messages
3. Phones messaging memory is full. Try deleting messages, also checking in, Sent and drafts.
4. Even though all your messages may be marked as read, just going down through the list and opening them all again one by one have also been known to resolve this issue. This could take some time but is worth a try if you do not want to delete any messages.

X6 - flashing envelope at top right of screen?

Have a new X6 and I have a constantly flashing envelope on top right hand side of screen. Think it might be a notification that the SIM is full. If that is correct how do I deal with it please? If I am not correct what does this symbol mean please?

Try going to messaging-options-settings-other-select memory in use to E mass memory or F memory card ! Should stop your flashing envelope for good

Since IOS 7.0.3 Screen flashes back to main screen for no reason

If I am reading an email or a web page, the screen usually flashes back to the main screen without reason or notice. I have "reset all settings" in the settings section, perform cold and warm reboots but nothing seems to help. Any others with similar problem?

Try resetting the device (hold the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears ).

My G4 Apple PowerBook will not boot further than pale blue/grey screen displaying "flashing file symbol / flashing ?"

My G4 Apple PowerBook will not boot further than pale blue/grey screen displaying "flashing file symbol / flashing ?"
Last previous action: Used Firewire cable and "Target Mode" to copy files from G4 eMac to the PowerBook.
I worked from the eMac to the PowerBook, making the PowerBook the "Target". Files seemed to transfer OK. Won't boot from InstallDisc. Holding down T on startup results in Target mode screen. I have a G4 iMac and a G4 eMac. Can I use either of these with Firewire cable to boot-up my PowerBook ?
I'm new to using this Communities & Forums Help. Can someone please help me to get going again ! ! Thanks for your time. Graflood

Hello,
It sounds to me like the PowerBook is stuck in target disk mode.
It's expecting the iMac/eMac to be there when booting. Seeming it's not attached, it will show a flashing folder.
If your PowerBook internal drive is bootable, then simply hold down the option key when booting and select it's internal hard drive. That should boot your PowerBook into Mac OS X.

Download RecBoot and see if that will kick it into recovery mode, so your computer sees it and you can do a restore.

What to do if upon charging after a few minutes it shows the plug symbol on battery but the green battery icon on the main screen is still half?

One of two things usually. Less often charger is faulty, try another charger. Most often the plug symbol in this situation indicates faulty battery.
Try a Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off" let iPhone restart itself.

G5 randomly wakes from sleep usually near midnight-screen sometimes flashes

Since handing down my G5 to my mom, it randomly wakes from sleep. I always notice that it happens at night because then I can see the light from the display. Not sure if it happens exactly at midnight each night but its usually near then. I just get up and put it back to sleep and its usually fine until the next night.
Occasionally when this happens the screen will flash - it will flash the desktop, then a black screen - and on and on. The only thing I could think of that might wake it up was that I used to have it set to speak the time every hour, but I have turned that off. Any suggestions?

You might learn more about why that computer is waking up by launching the Console utility and looking for messages around that time. If you see messages that might be related but don't understand them or aren't sure what to do about them, post them here and someone may be able to help.

N80: Envelope symbol missing although new message

Hi,
I have a problem with my nokia N80.
Normally when there is a new text message, an envelope symbol appears on the main screen of my nokia. This same envelope symbol is also shown when the phone is in stand-by and shows basic information such as date, time, missed calls and the envelope symbol.
The problem is that the evenlope symbol is now missing on the main screen. It still appears on the stand-by screen and also when I'm in the messages menu, it shows that there is a new message.
My question is of course: how to get this envelope symbol back in my main screen?
To be precise, by main screen I mean the default, home screen of your nokia, showing things as time, provider, battery, calender, WLAN-scan.
I have updated tot the last symbian version.
Kind regards,
Wouter

Hi,
I have stored my messages on a memory card and it seems that here lies the problem. When I eject the memory card and the messages are stored at my telephone memory,it shows the envelope again. However, as soon as I put in my memory card again, and change the message settings so that messages are stored at the memory card, the evenlope stops showing.
Do you have any ideas on this?
Kind regards,

My iPhone 4 flashing Apple Symbol followed by low battery sign.

Hi All,
My 2 years old iPhone 4 fell down in water.I have taken my phone to a local techi to dry water inside.They said they cleaned it well and there is no water inside but my phone is not reacting, they said it's dead
I got my phone back, soon after that I realized that My iPhone is flashing Apple Symbol followed by low battery sign.I tried some stuff by browsing in the internet and finally got a screen with iTunes and charger plug Symbols.Now iTunes is able to detect my devide sometimes and I am trying to restore iPhone by downloading sofware from apple restore server and I could't complete the operation becasue of many errors I am facing (Ex:An error throwed very first time redirected to this link http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451, other error is iPhone software can't be downloaded becasue there is a problem with your network but I am having working internet in this case).
What I wanted to know is is phone really dead..?? If that is the case, how I am able to see all the screens and how iTunes has detected my iPhone to restore..?
Taking my iPhone to an authorized apple service center does really works in this case..????
Thank you,
Srinivas Kandukuri.

Water and electronics do not mix. You have probably fried the circuit boards. Get a new phone.

IPhone 5 Starts then Shutdowns after main screen?

So, i have had this phone for about a month and half, and one day my phone died on me then i got my charger and charged it. It showed that it was at 1% charging when youu see the battery symbol red and at 1 bar. I left it alone for about 20 mins, still- hour later- still next day- still so i unplugged it and then was wounder why it wouldnt turn on. The phone got hot later that day when i left it on my desk with the sun out. I was able to turn on my phone but then right after i got to the main screen after the apple logo. It shuts off, it seems to only respond to extereme or above normal tempuratures hot or cold.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Restoring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...
