Several Problems/Questions with IPhone 3G SMS

Just bought the new Iphone 3G in the UK and I am rather disappointed. Besides the fact that I have to recharge the battery once a day , I could not find the following standard functionalities for text messaging. Maybe somebody knows if there is an easy fix:
1) I want my iphone to ring when I am called but I only want it to vibrate when I get a text message. I cannot see how to do that
2) I would like to have delivery receipts with every text I send. Any way to do that?
3) I cannot see how I can forward a text message
4) I cannot see how many characters I type in a text message. This leads to me sending 2 text messages just because I typed in 1/2 more characters
Any solution to the abov problems?
Many thanks

Regarding your first question, have you tried changing the New Text Message sound option to None, while leaving Vibrate On under the Ring settings? These options are found under Settings -> Sounds.
As per your other questions, I don't think there is support for those features currently.

  • IOS 7 exchange server problems solution with iPhone 5

    Hi, after big troubles after IOS 7 update on my iphone 5 to receive and send emails I found my own simple but stupid solution.
    In "mail, contact, calender" you click onto your account name and click "mail synchronisation". IMPORTANT: the choice must not
    be more than 3 days. If more than 3 days like " 1 month" it won't work anymore.
    Very strange. Good luck.

    ..-:) My individual issue refers only to the iphone 5 user , who have of course problems with emails and their exchange server. Mine also worked fine in "unlimited", but only under IOS 6. Since iOS 7 update it was not possible anmyore.

  • Several issues questions with 865PE neo2 FIS2R

    ok first off thanks to the people here, the sticky's are great and very informative.
    although i do find the info outdated in that they all refer to old bios's. other than that this is a fantastic forum
    ok so on with the questions.
    im using a Silicon Image IDE U133 RAID controller (PCI CARD), , the ide hard drive(s) do NOT have to be in raid its just like a Promise card but its made by someone else.
    ANYTIME i have ANY type of hard drive hooked up to that, the motherboard takes nearly 5 minutes to boot to the active hard drive. even if i select boot menu and then the RAID hard drives the SATA drives i mean.
    my active hard drives are 2 Maxtor 160gig SATA drives in RAID0 mode.
    if i have NO hard drives hooked to the controller card the system boots directly to the active boot hard drive. without dealy.
    IF i have an ide hard drive set to boot off the SIL card, it takes just as long. which seems like ages.
    anyone know of issues with this mobo and certain IDE hard drive controllers. (PCI)
    i too am having blank sreen issues with my 9700 pro video card.  but mine is nearly 2 out of 5 times i boot i have no video, and many times i am forced to reach around the pc case and unplug the power cord for a few minutes, in order to get the system to boot WITH video.
    another issue that i have and this is the WORST.
    nearly 90% of the time, the motherboard will NOT i repeat will NOT boot from a floppy or cdrom, all i get is the message on screen, if i am using a bootable floppy, like "Starting windows 98" or "Starting Windows ME"  these are DOS boot disks made with windows XP.
    i then get only a blinking curser. and nothing else.
    OR
    i get a blinking cursor and then i must wait 5-10 minutes before anything else happens. and even then usually the cdrom or floppy wont complete the booting process.
    this happens regardless of if i have anything hooked to that IDE controller card.
    i am now using the LATEST bios offered for this mobo and nothing has changed in fact ,,well according to the readme i was expecting to see some changes within the bios but i seee none. maybe i read the read me wrong. (say that 5 times fast)
    i can NOT run the ram performance mode in anything other than slow. which is making me very angry.
    i have infineon ram not sure what model but i will report back when i find out.
    but i do recall sandra reporting it as supporting 2.5cas and other setting that appear to be FAST or TURBO and yet i cant use those in the bios otherwise my system reboots in windows or i get memory speed errors during post.
    overall im VERY pleased with this mobo but am discouraged at the way its treating me.
    i have a PentIV 3.0ghz HT which is a NON production model, it is a sample model with the multiplyer unlocked.  i can go with a lower multiplyer but NOT a higher one, so i assume its unlocked but the CPU itself is limited to 15x multiplyer.
    i have tried tons of configurations and can run very stable at 3.45ghz but i MUST make the dram 333 mhz  not 400. then raise the FSB to around 225 or 230.  but i still get serious power offs when doing any heavy work on the pc.
    i have CPU voltages at 1.575 yet  sandra reports it as 1.55
    DRAM voltage at 2.7  ( i am using DDR400)
    and AGP at 1.7
    with this CPU what is a GOOD voltage to use.
    is it ok to go higher than 2.7 with DDR400 ?
    and AGP  everything i have read said that 1.8v will fry the 9700 pro.  is this true ?
    sorry im asking alot of questions but if you can help me with any of them i would REALLY appreciate it, and i would pass along any info i learn.!

    Well as Far as your PCI IDE Controller Questions are concerned, I would not know as I have never Used one , And with the Available Promise controller, you should Try using this instead......As Far as your Memory Voltage, You can Raise the Voltage above 2.7 Volts, But unless you are Really Overclocking the PBS or FSB as some call it, then 2.7 Volts is the "Norm" For this Board, But if you do NOT have High Performance RAM you should check with the Manufacturer, before you Go any Higher than 2.7 V, as far as the AGP Voltage is concerned, 1.6 Volts is the MAX that you should Have it set to with any of the new NVIDIA-FX or ATI-PRO, or XT Series Cards, Because as you know, the Cards that are 8X AGP Speed only Require .8Volts to begin with, and the ABP Voltage is Further Reduced by the Cards onboard Electronics, And if you have one of the High Performance Cards, well as you know, these get 90% of their Operating Power from the 4 Pin Molex PSU Connector. Any higher AGP Voltage then 1.6 Volts will only increase the Temps. of Both the Motherboards Chipset, and the VPU itself.................Sean REILLY875

  • ITunes 10.3.1 Problems Syncing with iPhone

    Since updating iTunes to version 10.3.1 i have not been ably to sync my iPhone4, when i plug my iPhone in my computer recognises something has been pluged in, but itunes does not detect it! does anyone know of a fix for this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks to recmd for directing me to the solution for iTunes not "seeing" my iPhone!!
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11761418?messageID=11761418is the link, but I will recap it here:
    Win XP machines that are seeing the iPhone as a camera or portable drive, but not showing in iTunes should do this - takes 5 minutes!!
    Connect iPhone
    Open Control Panel
    double click on System
    choose Hardware tab
    click Device Manager
    find iPhone - probably under Imaging Devices
    right click iPhone
    choose Properties
    click driver tab
    choose Update Driver
    select "Install from list or specific location" and click Next
    choose "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" and click next
    there should be 2 drivers listed; highlight Apple Mobile Device driver
    click ok
    iPhone should now connect
    close out of Device Manager and Control Panel
    open iTunes and see your iPhone appear!!
    You may have to do this with all phones that you sync.
    Hope this helps - it worked for the phones in our family!

  • Service request question with iPhone 4

    Tody I requested a service on my iPhone 4 and did all the steps they required, and it went successfully. I took my iPhone to the UPS store and gave it to them while giving them my repair ID. Later I realized that I needed to change the return address so I called Apple and while I was doing this someone in the dispatch department cancelled my first service request. The representative that I had talked to was kind enough to create a new one for me and that worked out but I had already given my iPhone to the UPS store with the old repair ID. Should I be worried that I will not recieve my iPhone back now that the repair ID I used to give the iPhone to the UPS store has been cancelled? The representative told me that the dispatch department would take care of everything, but I am still worried that now I might not get my phone successfully returned...

    Hello Blowem,
    call Apple Support back maybe in the AM
    tomorrow to see if they have all of your
    info correct. Make sure you have your serial
    number and all of the UPS data on hand.
    Be patient and polite. I have never had anything
    but excellent support from Apple. Hope this holds
    true for you.
    Good Luck,
    A

  • Problem facing with iphone camera

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Help! Severe problem saving with an action

    I loaded an action I created in CS3 into CS5 to save a photo in 4 different locations at different sizes. I am using a Mac with OS X 10.5. The action works perfectly in CS3 (it didn't get corrupted), however when I use it in CS5, it doesn't ask if I want to replace an older file with the same name. Instead it writes the file with the same name plus a space, and the word "copy".
    This will not work since these photos are used by other programs to automatically appear on my web pages.
    I tried to fix the problem by creating a new action in CS5, and when I created the action, I made sure that the file name was already in the 4 locations, so that a dialog box would come up, asking whether or not I wanted to replace the older file. Then I ran the new action, and it worked fine, except it didn't ask whether or not I wanted to replace the older file with the same name.
    The dialog box comes up in CS3 when I apply the action there, but not in CS5.
    So neither the old action, nor the new action will ask me if I want to replace the older file when I am in CS5.

    Yes this is probably yet another symptom of - the fact that they seem to have messed with a lot of what I am, in my uneducated way, calling the "Saving and Opening interface" between OSX and Photoshop CS5. The interaction between Photoshop and the Operating System in respect of saving files to disk, clearly just hasn't been set up properly. There are delays and all kind of weirdness going on - making work slower than equivalent tasks in CS4.
    These kind of mistakes should certainly be corrected with updates.

  • Problems/questions with packages

    I am having problems with an exercise I am completing from my java tutorial concerning packages. I have created the folder "mypackage" on drive C, and added a classpath reference to this folder in autoexec.bat.
    My source file Item.java begins with the following line:
    package mypackage;
    The source compiles without error messages, but the item.class file it creates appears in the working directory not the "mypackage" directory. It is my understanding that the package name is analagous to the folder names on the machine. Shouldn't the class be under the appropriate folder named for the package? What am I missing here?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Gaurav,
    I was able to create the packages as you suggested, but the program which uses those packages seems to be having problems I am using package j21work.mypackage
    for the item and storefront, but when I try to compile the giftshop program which accesses those two modules, I get all sorts of errors like the following:
    ^
    GiftShop.java:15: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : method getName ()
    location: class Item
    "\nName: " + show.getName() +
    ^
    GiftShop.java:16: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : method getRetail ()
    location: class Item
    "\nRetail Price: $" + show.getRetail() +
    ^
    GiftShop.java:17: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : method getPrice ()
    location: class Item
    "\nPrice: $" + show.getPrice() +
    ^

    symbol : method getQuantity ()
    location: class Item
    "\nQuantity: " + show.getQuantity());
    ^
    13 errors
    The programs are examples from the book Java 2 in 21 days. The only changes I have made are to point to different packages for the package and import statements. I have printed the code below. Can you please tell me where my problem is? I'm stumped.

  • HT3819 Problem sync with iphone

    I have an employer provided iphone with different AppleID.  Can I use my music from a different AppleID (my personal one)?

    Hi,
    What you should do is uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it with the current version. If you uninstall it, none of you stuff on iTunes will be lost.

  • Nokia PC Suite problems & questions with 9500...

    Hey guys,
    got some problems with the Nokia PC Suite and my 9500.
    I am using...
    Nokia PC Suite 6.80.22
    Communicator 9500 FW 5.22(7)
    Windows XP SP2
    Microsoft Outlook 2003 with all updates
    (1) When i synchronize my 9500 with Outlook using the PC Suite (i only update in one direction) it doesn't update all contacts from the phone to outlook - some are still missing in outlook while being present on the phone
    (2) Most of the contacts are not updated properly into Outlook - e.g. when my contact on the phone has 4 cell phones it just updates 1 cell phone number into Outlook, probably 'cause Outlook just has one cell phone field... Anyway around it or to fix this problem ?
    (3)When a contact was already established and synchronized to Outlook and I later changed or added data in the contact on the phone (e.g. added an email adress) - when i synchronize to Outlook it will not update the new Contact Information from the Phone in the Outlook Contact Card
    (4)When i view my Contacts in the PC Suite using the Phone browser it shows all names - but the contacts that have only a Company Name and no First and Last Name are blank in the field name and only shown by number (which makes it impossible to guess who it is) - any way to see the contacts in the PC Suite also by Company Name (and by Last & First Name) ?
    Thanx anybody for your help !

    Manta: why don't you use "update both directions"

    Manta: most likely they are syncronised, you just need to find a view in Outlook that shows all contact details and you will se that the details are there. Also study the sync log to see what was syncronised, what ever is listed in the log, should be there.

    Manta: You cannot view those contacts by company, the list view in Nokia PHone Browser/Windows Explorer is "fixed"

  • Newbies question with iPhone 4 sync

    I have installed itune 10 and using Win 7. I hope that some kind soul can advise on how to get my iphone to sync, D/L  and able to listen to the music transferred or D/L. Thanks

    Just attach your iPhone to your computer, open up iTunes if he doesn't automatically, and if it is the first time you use that iPhone (new bought or restored), iTunes will walk your through the setup.
    Any way, iTunes will auto-detect the iPhone, the iPhone will appear in the sidebar, click it to set sync settings like which music, video, apps and so on to sync.

  • [SOLVED] Several problems with PulseAudio under Xfce4

    So, yesterday I sat down to set up pulseaudio on my machine (I want to try and use it for my 'networked-audio system' of the future).
    I was aware of the fact that pulseaudio does have several problems. particularly with ALSA-compatibility, but I was ready to give it a shot anyway and hope for the best.
    Of course that did not happen...
    I installed everything (including packages for backward compatibility with ALSA) and while sound still works (what a relief), I have several problems now:
    1. Pulseaudio does NOT save it's volume levels  - Volume levels for Pulseaudio are gone after next reboot, I was trying to look into this, but found no workable solution.
    2. Strange behaviour of apps when changing volume - This is REALLY annoying.
    When I am in a music app for example (e.g. Banshee) and am trying to increase/decrease volume, the current sound (song) will 'mute' when I am moving the slider and only 'resume' after I release it.
    Any ideas are much appreciated,
    Thanks,
    SOLVED: It seems that all my alsa channels were automatically muted when pulseaudio was first enabled.
    Strange, Is this because pulseaudio wants you not to use alsa or something? :-)

    I'm using just alsa now but when I used pulseaudio I used "pacmd" to set suitable volumes. Something like
    pacmd set-default-volume (and then volumes in the range 0-65000?)
    anyway, "pacmd info" will have the correct command.
    I was not aware of this, very useful - Thank you.
