Texts with sounds

I am having a problem with my Verizon Curve 8330.  The phone is brand new (4 or 5 days old).  When I receive a text message with sound, I am unable to hear calls.  I can make calls to someone and I hear nothing.  They can hear me though.  I can receive calls also but I still have the same problem of not being able to hear anything.  The only way I have found to fix it is to pull the battery and power the phone back up.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  It is driving me crazy.  I have version 4.3.0.127 (platform 3.1.0.72).  If anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

While this is a question for the 8330 forum and we are in the 8800 it's no biggie.  You have a one year mfg warranty on the deivce aganist problems like this.  I had the same problem with my 8330 and I returned it to the store and got a new one.  It's a known issue that has to be resolved, but you shouldn't have to go through a software install to do it.  Just bring it back to where you bought it and they will issue you a new phone.
Hope this info helps!

  • Iphone 4, cant recieve media text with sound sound is seperate and wont play with pictures.

    when recieving media messages the sound seperates into quicktime and wont play with photo.

    I have been experiencing this problem for the last few days.  I've tried going in to settings and changing things on the sound menu but to no avail. I can get no sound on my videos, Internet videos and I can't change the volume setting when the phone is on the home page.
    I originally thought it might be a problem with the volume buttons on the side of the phone but they work for voice memo sounds. That audio seems to come from the ear piece so I wonder is there a problem with the speakers on the bottom of the phone.
    Any ideas on what's wrong? Did I possibly change some settings without realising? Is there a menu to change volume settings for videos?
    I'm going I go into an apple shop when I'm near one because this is driving me crazy!

  • Problems with sound from external speakers after iOS 5.0.1 update

    Have others experienced problems with external speakers on the Iphone 4 after iOS 5.0.1 update?  My phone no longer rings, sounds when i receive a text message, sounds alarm, etc.  Vibrate works fine and when i plug in headphones I can hear music through the headphones.  Any fixes for this?

    Hi Guys,
    I have post eariler on another forum and I have the same problem, I have tried all the things listed here and nothing was perminant in fixing this painful iphone hating problem.... and failed.  You probably have the problem when you use youtube or your music external speaker that there is no volume bar and no sound.   I have had the same problem But I need to happily say that I now have the fix!!!!  This worked for me and I fixed it by myself so you don't need to go to apple or service centre or anything.
    Ok I like so many of you here truly believed this was as IO5 issue as it only dropped the sound on the speakers once that IO5 update came along.  I tried a bunch of reset, reboots, home clicks, lock and unlocks, to fix this and all failed.  some worked for an hour but then failed.  hours of my life that I will never get back.   but since I have learnt this is not a IO5 problem but a hardware issue! ...  and in paticualar is has to do with your bottom connection.  Your phone is thinking it is docked all the time.
    To fix the no sound problem what you need is...
    1.  a torch
    2.  a tooth brush
    3.  methalated spirits
    4. a butter knife
    Step 1.
    get your torch and shine it down the bottom connection plate to see what kind of dust, sand, hair or anything you have stuck in there.   all that need to be removed!  everything!  it might look clean but still thats ok go to step 2.
    step 2.
    Turn on your music app and put the speakers on!  If your phone is like mine it should not work.  you most probably don't even have the volume display to turn it on but its ok, just do it! and it should still play with no sound.   its important you try and run the speakers as this will show you that it is a hardware problem.
    step 3.
    Dip your tooth brush into some methated sprits.   then at your sink tap the exess metho out of your brush as you just want the brushes to be slightly damp, not soaking wet and then scrub the bottom connetiors on your iphone.  work the brush back and forward in a way that scoops the dirt out of the phone, not just pushing it side to side.
    (As you bushing you should notice the volume bar come back on or off as you scub.   This happened to me and that is how I realised I was on the right track to fixing this problem as I was doing something external that was actually controling when the volume display came on or off.   but once I cleaned it this still didn't fix the problem...)
    Step 4.
    Use the back side of a butter knife (not the sharp side) to gently slide over the connectors on the iphone.  Do this gently as you are only pushing down on the tiny metal contect bars and you should notice the volume display come on again.  slide it back and forward.  Now the area of interest is about 2/3 along the connection plate to the right.   This is the area that has the infomation sent when your iphone thinks its docked.
    This has worked for me and I have not had a problem since I did this 2 weeks ago.   I have since learnt that the new IOS 5 has activated a different part of the bottom conectors.  if you have been using dodgy connectors or unapproved apple cables (as I was)  any damage or hair and dirt on the terminal this is effecting it.  Try it.   just remember if you can do something external to your phone then there lies the problem.
    Hope this works for your phone as it did for mine.
    Cheers

  • Can't replace old text with new text in a text box

    Hello everyone. This is my first time posting in the forum, so I'm hoping this works out well. We recently purchased a few copies of Adobe Acrobt X for the office, and one of the users is having an issue with editing text in a field. She can type new text into a box, but when she goes back to replace that text with something else, the old text stays. New text appears on top of the old text, and you can see both. Is there a way to simply highlight the old text, delete it, and then replace it with new text? Thanks in advanace for your assistance. I understand this might be confusing, so let me know if you have questions.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    You have to use the text touchup tool (there is a new name like text edit tool in AA X) to edit such text. It sounds like you are using the typewriter tool or something like it. Text editing in Acrobat is not for the weak at heart. It can be very frustrating and is not recommended except for very minor changes. If at all possible, you should edit the original and just recreate the PDF.

  • Text message sound disappears

    I have an issue.
    All the sounds work fine but sometimes I put it into silent mode because of a meeting. When I switch it out of silent mode though, the text message sound doesn't always reappear although the ring tone does.
    It doesn't always happen but the only way to resolve is to go into sounds and reselect the sound which is tri tone for me.
    I have tried all sorts of variations to try and make it happen every time but just when I think I have found the step by step procedure for replicating it, it doesn't work.
    Is this something apple are aware of? Have other people experienced it with the latest firmware?
    Is there a channel to write to apple directly to report bugs?

    Typically this is due to an OS bug and the fix is to restore the phone...
    First, you can try restoring iPhone via the "Restore from back up option" There is a chance that this is not going to work since the back up will include the "bug" you're trying to get rid of... but there is a small chance it will work.
    If not then the true way to get rid of an OS bug is to do a full restore using "Set up as new iPhone" the difference being that you need to back up outside data like contacts, calendars, notes, etc... since stuff like texts, user settings and POP3 mail inbox items are lost... it takes longer to do this but is really the only way to get rid of the OS bugs for sure...

  • Removing text typing sound from a slide

    I can't remove the text typing sound from an individual slide.  why not?  Should I just be able to right click on the "tpying text" segment in the timeline and click delete?  This doesnt' work.  Bug!

    Don't be so quick to assume something is a bug just because you don't know the workflow.
    Typing text objects are a bit of an unusual case in Captivate because they are locked into the slide more deeply than other objects, and hence have to be dealt with somewhat differently.
    Right click on the typing text layer, and select Replace with Text Animation from the context menu.
    Once you've converted the typing text object to a a text animation, THEN you can delete it. You might have designed Captivate to work differently, but then you might not have thought of giving the users the option of converting typing objects to text animation.

  • Does the os4 update allow text message sound to be customized?

    I have waited all this time for the update now I would like to know if it will include the ability to customized the text message sounds? Or have new ones to choose from???????????????????

    It would be really good to have the ability to have to be able to create message sounds, similar to custom ringtones. Not much of a choice on the installed sounds, and with 5 members of staff in the office all having the same chosen sound on their phone for messages, it is annoying to look at the phone & find that it is not yours making the sound. Customisable sounds would be brill. Can this be possible in a future update, please.

  • IPhone 6 recently stopped ringing and making text alert sounds since most recent upgrade to ios 8.1.1, has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you correct?

    AFter recent upgrade to ios 8.1.1, my iphone 6 no longer makes text alert sounds and ring does not sound for incoming calls (except on car bluetooth).  has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you correct?

    I had the same problem until tonight. Played with ring tones, do not disturb, volume, and everything else posted. What I found is that when you go to sounds/text tone, there are two types of tones in the scrolling menu. The top set of tones are for alert tones and the bottom set are ringtones. They are separated by a gray bar that states their purpose. Many of the tones are the same name. You need to set your text alert in the Ringtones and reminders, alarms, and such in alerts. The weird thing about this menu is when you go to sounds/ringtone the menu is reversed. Mine works in locked mode or unlocked now. I have an Iphone 6 8.1.2. My problem started after my latest OS upgrade. Hope this helps.

  • Text with voice-over

    Hello,
    Is there a function to link the text with a sound file?
    For example, if you click on the paragraph, the text is read in the chosen language (French, English ...).
    Every word could be highlighted and synchronized with the voice-over.
    Do you have a solution?

    I agree, and I tried this already. This model will not work for a language learning textbook for example.
    Just too much hazzle - and besides, you cannot shrink the media widget that much anyway... it will end up looking terrible.
    I am confident that Apple will at least consider this issue and maybe come up with an elegant solution as usual.

  • Ringtones, text ringtones, sound effects no longer play.

    My 16gb Iphone 3GS will no longer play a ringtone if someone is calling, will no longer play the text-message sound effect and also no-longer make the sound effect if I lock the screen.
    The volume is as high as it will go and the ringtone is selected under settings. Vibrate is on. What could be the problem?

    It'll actually play the ringtone in with the headphones in, but otherwise, you can not hear it. The phone isn't in headphone mode without the headphones in, the Ipod and ringtone previews sound fine and clear out of the speaker.
    It just doesn't play the text or call ringtone any more.

  • I can be sitting right in front of my phone and dont see that i have gotten a call or text no sounds no thing until look to see if ive missed ant

    Getting no alerts or anything to let me know I recived a call or text

    Are you certain that your volume is turned up?
    If you go to Settings...Sounds do you have a ringtone set for calls and a text tone set?
    If you choose different tones here can you hear a sample of the various tones?
    Is the mute button on the side of the phone turned on (red indicator means phone is muted)?
    If you play music or visit a website with sound (utube, radio staions, Pandora, itunes radio, etc) can you hear it?
    If you ask Siri (if you have a newer iphone that supports it) a question do you hear her response?
    What model phone and ios version?
    Answers to these questions would help narrow down the cause of the problem.
