Text message alert- turn off or modify

In spite of some other comments on this topic, it is not easy to find how to modify the text message alert in the E71 manual.  I have been awakened several times by amber alerts during the night.  When I tried to find how to turn off the message alert in the manual,  I could not find it.  I emailed Nokia and the following (modified a little) is what I received:
To turn off or change text message alert tone:
In response to your concern, we would like to inform you that you can change the message alert tone of your device.
Please refer below for the steps:
1. Select Menu
2. Select Tools
3. Select Profiles and to change the message tone
4. Select current profile if not already selected
5. Select Options
5. Select Personalise
6. Select Message alert tone (page to off or vibrate if preferred)
Problem solved!  I hope this helps some of you having the same problem.

I think this is what you are looking for.

    Last night my iphone screen all of a sudden was solid blue and now it is black. I tried turning it on and off.  Still nothing appeared on the screen.  I put it on the charger and this morning it is totally black.  However, when I hit the on and off button, I did hear the text message signal go off. When I turned the volume on and off a big white bell flashed.  In the last week, there were some other display problems such as the screen blowing up large. The only way to fix it was to turn off the phone and then turn it back on. 
    What does all of this mean? It seems like I've had these problems since the iphone 4 upgrade.

    just do reset, press home button and power butoon for a while untill you can see apple
    gud luck

  • I can only text through ordinary message when not connected to the internet to someone, but when I am connected, it is automatically assumed as iMessage. How will I text ordinarily without turning off the net? Thank you!

    I am from the Philippines btw. What I meant is, I cannot text someone ordinarily when the net is turned on, and it assumes to be texting through iMessage. How will I text someone without turning off the internet in an ordinary way, not in iMessage? Thank you.

    I Tried that already, but if i turned it off, I cannot send an imessage to people I want to text through imessage. There are people in my contacts that when I text, it is automatically as text message, while there are some that when I text, it is through iMessage automatically, and I just want through text message also. And for the latter, I still need to turn off the wifi in my phone for them to be texted through iMessage, which is more hassle.

  • Text message alert sound

    I have a new LG Revere. When I receive a text message,  the phone makes some sort of alert vocal sound. I can set the text message alert ring tone, but how do I turn off that alert vocal sound?

    This question, and another regarding a "voice" or "vocal" alert, leads me to believe you have Voice commands enabled.  I'm not sure where this is on the Menu system for the Revere - explore Menu, Tools, Sounds, Voice Commands, Alerts - see if there is a setting for those to be toggled on or off.  You may also look in your user manual for those keywords to see if there is anything there that will lead to a way to turn these off.
    ** Update - Page 65 of the user manual has info on the Voice Commands and turning the prompts to Readout/Readout + Alerts/Tones only  I think you want tones only....

    TechCrunch posted a solution today that applies to this problem, I think.
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Click your old iPhone and "unregister" it.

  • I can't find the new text message alerts for every person - help!

    Hi.
    As I frequently check the Apple website, I visited the iOS 4.2 download site. It said that you get custom text tones and 17 new sounds.
    So I updated to get the new things. But then I checked Settings to see the new alerts and what they sounded like. But I only found the same old Tri-tone, glass, horn, etc. There were no new ones.
    So I checked Phone, but there was no custom text message alert option.
    Am I the only one experiencing this problem? I have an 8 month old iPhone 3GS and it works great.
    I am also suspecting that it could be an iPhone 4-only deal.Which would be ridiculous because I would be really upset to see that Apple only cares about the people who cash in their hard-earned bucks on every new Apple gizmo they set eyes on.
    Please help! Thanks in advance

    I understand that it has been answered and has been said that it is for the iPhone 4 only; however, on their website it does not specify that, this is exactly what it states:
    "Messaging with text tones
    Know who’s texting without looking at your screen. Choose from 17 new alerts and assign custom tones for people in your contact list.
    iPhone only."
    If I am not mistaken, "iPhone only" includes every iPhone generation to which 4.2 can be installed in, not just the iPhone 4. If it is in case for the 4 only, then they should have specified and not made a misleading advertisement about it since every iPhone user has been waiting for new tones of any sort since the first iPhone ever came out. Making it available for only iPhone 4 users is a very fowl move from Apple since it's such a basic thing to the phone itself. They should address the issue correctly and make it available for the 3G and 3GS.
    Apple just asked for angry customers with this one and they definitely know it's not fair.

    That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

  • Should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on

    should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on

    It's up to the cellular carrier, but I believe most (if not all) will enqueue the messages when your iPhone is off.
    So generally speaking, a few minutes after you turn your iPhone on, your messages should display.  Similarly, your voicemails would arrive.

  • IPhone 3GS making random text message alerts but no message received

    Since yesterday morning my iPhone 3GS (running iOS 4.2) has started randomly making the text message alert noise but no new message has been received. I've also go no other new push notifications which could have been using the same sound either. At the moment it's about 2-3 of these bizare alerts a day with no set pattern of when and where.
    Any ideas what could be the problem and how to fix it?
    Thanks

    This sounds very much like a physical fault inside the phone - short or loose component. You really have no option but to get it looked at under warranty
