SMS Text Display name

If I go into options on my BB 8530 and into the SMS Text and change my display name and then save it keeps it for a short period of time.  As soon as I do a reboot by the alt, caps, del keys it goes back to the first name I put in.  Is there a service book that keeps that stored somewhere?  How do I get it to keep the display name that I want?  Thanks

Any suggestions on what to do? Is there a service book that maybe can be replaced? I see a WapPushConfig (SMS). Will deleting that maybe fix it or will that cause more issues? Thanks for the help.
Well, quite honestly, the SMS is not enabled by service book... BUT, there is no harm in deleting that one and resending it.
Delete that SB entry.
Reboot (powered on battery pull)
Resend Service Books.
Check it is reinstalled, if not do another reboot.

  • SMS not displaying contacts name

    When I receive SMS phone displays only phone number as messages sender, even though the same phone number is memorized in contacts. I've tried changing settings and message center number, but the problem persists.

    Hmm. You didn't mention if phone calls are okay. If you don't receive calls that often, maybe you may not notice.
    Have you checked for double/duplicate entries? Since you mentioned that pc suite froze during the synchronisation process, it could have duplicated some of your contacts.
    If not, then you might want to try backing up your contacts again using PC Suite's synchronise option or use the Content Copier (Backup) feature before deleting all your contacts. Next, create one contact and have that contact send an SMS to your phone (or you can create a contact of your OWN phone number and send yourself an SMS) to see if the name shows up.
    If the name shows up, try restoring all your contacts to see if it still happens. If yes, then you probably have duplicate entries somewhere.
    Otherwise, you may want to consider a software upgrade using Nokia Software Updater.
    Do remember to backup your phone contents before doing this.
    Alternatively, since you didn't mention your phone model, you might try a hard reset with *#7370# which will wipe out all your phone data and reset your phone back to the factory state, but this only works for specific Symbian OS phones and if you have a S40 phone, this won't be an option.

  • Infopath - Show All values in Text box From PeoplePicker control (Display Name)

    I have One People Picker Control and one Text box.I set Value of Text box to "Display Name" and problem is that it show only First Value.so is there a way to show all values of "Display Name" in Text box ?
    Thanks

    Thanks
    the link that you provied , didnt help me but i dig into "http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/t/19623.aspx" and found solution.
    here is my solution :
    1- Create one Picker control (i changed name of control to Member ) and one Text Box
    2- Set Value of Text box to xdMath:Eval(xdMath:Eval(../my:Member/pc:Person, 'concat(pc:AccountId, ";")'), "..")
    3- if you changed name's picker control just Replace "../my:Member/pc:Person" with name's People Picker control on your Form.
    Edit 1 : I found out Why the formula in that Blog didn't work.it Because of copy/Paste
    Dont Copy/Paste Formula because maybe you get Error . how ? here :
    if you copy this formula :
    xdMath:Eval(xdMath:Eval(../my:Member/pc:Person, 'concat(pc:AccountId,
    result will be in Field :
    xdMath:Eval(xdMath:Eval(../my:Member/pc:Person, ‘concat(pc:AccountId,
    Look carefully, you see “..” instead ".." , this why you get Error Because of “
    Edit 2 : if you want to show only Display name you can Replace
    "pc:AccountId" to "pc:DisplayName".Here is Formula
    xdMath:Eval(xdMath:Eval(../my:Member/pc:Person, 'concat(pc:DisplayName, ";")'), "..")

  • Move SMS texts from iphone 3g to Iphone4

    Morning all. A nice delivery man has just brought me a shiney new Iphone4 which I would like to fill up with my old previous SMS text messages. The rest of the stuff I can sync without an issue. Is there any way of copying the data from one to the other?
    Cheers Simon

    I had an iPhone 3GS and wanted to transfer my SMS's  to my new iPhone 4
    I saw all the above methods
    Sorry to say but all are very confusing
    so I found this
    Extremely simple and easy method to solve (The SMS Transfer) issue
    I wanted to share with the community
    well here it goes
    Step One : Backup both your iPhones
    Step Two : Search and download iTools for iPhone free download (for PC or MAC)
    Step Three : Open itools & plug in your iphone 3GS
    Step Four : Your iPhone will be detected & all details would be displayed on the left Panel
    Step Five : Click on File Sytems
    Step Six : On the right Panel click on filesystem (Jailbreak)
    Step Seven : Go to filesystem/user/ library/sms
    Step Eight : On the far right panel, you will see some very important folders and files
    Step Nine : Simply Select All, Right Click and copy em in a new Folder may be on the desktop                     (Name it iPhone 3GS SMS)
    Step Ten : Disconnect iphone 3GS and connect iPhone 4
    Step Eleven : Repeat the steps from Five to Nine (Only copy them in a new folder and name it                      iPhone 4  SMS. (Note : We dont need these files n folders, but just in case                            something goes wron, we can replace them back)
    Step Twelve : Copy the files n folders from the directory on the desktop named iPhone 3GS SMS
                         and paste the in the iphone 4 here (the program will ask wether to replace                             existing files n folders, in some chinese lingo, but u can see Y and N on each                           buttons so click on the left (Y)
    And thats about it, You are done, As simple as that, All the SMS on the iPhone 3GS are transfered on the new device.
    Screen Shot Attached for your reference
    Caution : This worked like a charm for me, but it may not be the same for everyone so just in case anything goes wrong you can replace the previously saved files n folders in iPhone 4 SMS directory back. I am very clear, I am not responsible for any loss or damage, Do at your own risk. 

  • Several questions concerning sending bulk SMS texts on a 9300

    Hi, I'm new here and have done the usual thing of checking previous topics using the search facility, but a few things don't seem to have been covered (or if they have the search facility didn't find them)
    1) Why does the 9300 only allow you to send an SMS text message to 100 contacts only? My old 9000 could send to everyone in a group (some of my groups contain 300+ contacts) I've now had to spend almost 2 days re-doing all my groups so that none contain more than a 100 contacts (for example Members A-H, Members I-O and Members P-Z)
    Is there any way around this?
    2) How do I make the 9300 less like an iPhone and more like my old 9000? I hate the way that when you send a text to a group, if several people reply all the replies are grouped together. With the old 9000 each text from each individual was listed seperately, which actually made it easier to know who had replied.
    3) When sending a text to a group, with the 9000 I could see the whole list of recipients, with a red X next to those, who for one reason or another, hadn't received it. With the 9300 I get a red X next to the group name, but not against individuals, so I have no idea who did and who didn't et the message. How do I change the settings so that I do know?

  • Not found in Contacts - erorr message when composing SMS text message after Software Update 1.07 Sprint Centro

    Hardware: Palm Centro
    Wireless: Sprint
    PC OS: Windows XP Pro
    After installing the "Software Update 1.07 (Windows installer) for Centro for Sprint" (Article ID: 6012 - http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/60​12_en.html) starting from http://sprint.com/downloads, I noticed the stock Palm Messaging application that comes with the device did not work as it did prior to the update.
    I was able to fix it. Here's what the problem was and what I did to correct it.
    "Not found in Contacts" message appeared when composing and addressing a new SMS text message.
    In the Contacts app, Options>Preferences, I simply reordered the contacts from "Last Name, First Name" to "Company, Last Name", and saved the change.
    I then immediately went back into the same preference, and changed the setting back from "Company, Last Name" to "Last Name, First Name", and saved that change.
    Going back to the Messaging application, when composing a new message, now the Contacts database is linked again. Whew!
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    Thank you for this information. This should help others out.

  • "Conversation" View in SMS Text Messages

    I am unable to change the settings in SMS text options to 'conversation' view. I followed the instructions on this help page but I didn't even havesome of the buttons that were mentioned. My other BB's (9300, Bold 9000) defaulted to conversation view. This is making me crazy!! Each new text has a new, seperate window. ALSO--does anyone know how to download music from your PC to your BB? My PC won't even register that I have a device plugged in. W_T_H!!!

    While you can have SMS (and MMS) messages NOT listed in the Messages folder, the only way to see only SMS messages in the Messages folder is to run a search.  You can save searches and assign an [Alt] key combination to execute the search, and as far as I know, ALL BlackBerries come with [Alt]S set as a Saved Search that will display only SMS messages.
    You can read more about using Saved Searches here:

  • SMS Text not in Options?

    Hi, I have searched the forum in regards to the pop up saying my SIM Card is full delete messages etc., and I do know that I have gone back to Options (after reading it here) and said NO to saving messages on it.  I have also removed my battery while phone was on, but am still receiving message.  Now when I go to Options, nowhere in there (and all files are as "show all") is there anything in regards to SMS text messages.  I do have a folder named SMS but it is empty?
    All went squirrely after I did an update on OS 6, not an upgrade, just an update that was offered.  Icons have moved around that I'm not able to move, even when following directions again, from this site.
    Wondering if I should restore settings, I believe it's called, and if I were to do so, what exactly that would effect? Or if anyone has other suggestions it would be most appreciated.
    My thanks,
    Donna

    Hi
    I suppose the update was direct to the BB? Whilst these do work most of the time there is scope for all kinds of things to occure.
    I do not know if what you describe is a feature of OS 6 or not but there is nothing to prevent you reverting to to OS 5 and this is how to go about it
    This what I did to completely wipe my BB. I wrote this before starting and printed it off.
    If your device is functioning, perform a backup now if you haven't already done so saving the file to a place and in a name that you can easily locate on computer.
    I then uninstalled DTM and then deleted all other references to BB/Rim in Windows Explorer thus removing the OS for the BB from the computer in order to ensure that the version I would reinstall would be a brand new downloaded version.
    Get the latest Desk Top Software (DTS)
    http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?CPID=OTC-DSKTPSW&cp=OTC-DSKTPSW
    and install it on the computer.
    Get the correct latest version of the OS
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    and save it to computer.
    To erase all the data on your BlackBerry device, complete the following steps.
    1) Download JL_Cmder from http://www.4shared.com/get/oqP9V-2Q/JL_Cmder_v19.html
    2) Install JL_Cmder to computer.
    3) Double check you have already backed-up the BB. If you DO NOT, you will lose ALL data.
    4) Make sure the DTS is closed and plug in the BB to computer via USB
    5) Go to the JL_Cmder on your computer and double click it to start. Now,this may take a few tries to connect, so keep trying until it does.
    6) On the first screen, Press any key to continue.
    7) Now, if your device uses a password, enter it now. If not, press "N"
    8) Press 4 to initiate the WIPE
    9) Press "Y" to continue
    10) Now type "blackberry" to continue
    11) On the BB you will see a white screen with a'507' Error. Don't worry, this is what you want! You are now ready to install the OS.
    Launch the new Desk Top Software on the computer
    1). On the home screen of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, click Device > Update my device.
    2). Click View Other Versions. Click the version of the new OS you previously downloaded.
    3). Click Install. The DTM will install the OS and then provide you with a list of applications to install. If you have had difficulties with an app, do not install it.
    Do not disconnect the device until the whole process is completed and the device has rebooted.
    After 10 minutes reboot again by removing the battery whilst powered-on and leave it out for a couple of minutes.
    Leave it again for 10 minutes. You should now have a fully functioning BB!

  • Can not send SMS text message.

    Hi, I'm a BlackBerry user for 4 years now and this is the first time that I have a problem with SMS text messaging. My precious BB is a Q10.
    The problem is that I can receive SMS messages but I can not answer and I can not send messages. When I tap the 'send' icon or press Enter nothing happens. My message dissapears and i can not see in the upper window, below the message that I've previously receive and I wanted to aswer for.
    Also, I can compose SMS message, but when I press Enter or tap send, nothing happens. No message in the hub, or in the text messages folder.
    I've rebooted the device, reloaded the OS, but didn't help.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive
    2) Reboot
    Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • SMS Text to Landline - great idea - but not though...

    I like the fact that texts can be sent to landlines. BUT unless you recognise the number, the sender texts their name, or you can work out who it's from, they can be pretty annoying.
    Now that mobiles are so much more advanced people send texts out to contacts in their address book sometimes without thinking about or checking which number (home/work/mobile etc) it is going to. Companies using sms to contact clients are going to receive more and more responses into their landline and it will often be impossible to work out who sent the text.
    As far as I can see the only options to control this are to limit the hours when texts are received or turn it off completely. 
    I would like to suggest another option to BT:
    FORWARD THE SMS TO ANOTHER MOBILE SO THAT THE MESSAGE CAN BE VIEWED IN ITS ORIGINAL FORM.
    Simples.

    I too have been recieving these annoying text to speech message calls, all from the same number and always the same message. They come through at the same time to my wife's mobile too... Each being an indentical message???
    I've followed the instructions by dialing the 0800 number below and have managed to get what I wanted. However, recently they've started up again?????
    When I ring said number to 'change' I'm informed that I've already selected to 'not recieve these' and yet they're still coming through!!!!
    When it first started, I spoke to a human being who, once he established I wasn't a BT customer, didn't want to know!!!
    But as it's YOUR service, I feel you have some responsibility to let us know how to permantly stop these nuisance calls!!!
    Where do I go from here.... would somebody PLEASE help me!!!!
    btw, the message says. "Keep this message from Cole & Trevor n Cole...Three million and eight billion....... and so on
    It's driving us insain!!!!!
    Thank you

  • How to delete SMS text from the hard drive of a IPhone 3gs

    How do I delete SMS text from the hard drive of a iPhone 3GS

    If you want to delete the messages from within the text app, swipe over the name or number of the sender and hit delete.
    If you are afraid that someone will be able to restore them by ckecking your HD, you will have to set up the phone "as new device" or choose "erase all content and Settings" in Settings/General/Reset. But this willerase the whole phone, not only your text messages.

  • How to change display name in iMessage?

    My son has an iPod that's using iMessage to text. When he text to my phone, it has my name as the display name and not his.  How can I change this so it can display his name instead of mine? 
    I am using my iCloud account on this iPod, not sure if it has anything to do with it.

    Very easy
    Do you mean you want their name to display when you ipad imessages your iphone?
    2 ways to do it
    You can either add another contact and call it iPad Message for instance and just add your iMessage email in there.
    Or
    If its another persons phone they simply need to add the same email address into your contact on their phone.
    I dont think its possible to not display your email address mind you if you are not already added at all in their contacts, i.e if you're imessaging an aquantaince and not a close friend via iMessage.
    iMessage i designed for more personal use between friends and family unless you dont mind sharing your email address.
    Why not just add another email address in iMessage to use if you're worried?
