Txt message notification

a cross between question/comment/complaint...
on my alias 2 i was able to assign a ringtone to all txt messages
Q. why can't this be done on my new Samsung Galaxy Note ll
under the message setting I can select notification setting with a ck mark and under ringtones I can select a tone.
But your stuck with the default tones that are preloaded into the phone and you can not download new tones or
assign ringtones that you have dl and purchased for txt message alert or notifications.
Which i find really crappy because now I am not getting my txt messages in a time manner.
really sucks!!
I want to be able to assign a ringtone that is more of my preference instead of what verizon or the maker of the phone thinks I want!
any other thoughts / comments

How familiar are you with android phones?
You can use a custom notification tone for all your text messages. If you are wanting control over individual contacts for their text messages, you need a third party app.
To get custom notification tones, you have to copy your ringtones to the "notifications" folder in the phone internal storage space. The OS will likely have already created the folder. You can also put it on the external SD card, but works better in the internal memory. To copy the files to this folder, you can use a file explorer app or connect the phone to a computer and use the computer's file manager to copy and paste the files.

How to modify Exchange 2013 TXT(SMS) notifications to not include the subject line or any of the message body of emails

We have a group of users who are not permitted to download/save any emails they receive onto public or personal devices, they are only allowed to log in manually and view their mail through OWA (I realize there are ways to use OWA to download mail, however
the users are explicitly forbidden from doing this, and any countermeasures that can be put in place, are/will be).
With our new Exchange 2013 server, it seems it has the built in capability to send TXT(SMS) notifications instantly when a user receives mail. We would like to allow our users to utilize this feature, however currently, the notification includes not
only the sender of the email, but also the subject line and part of the message body. As it stands, we can't have this as part of the email would then be saved on their device.
I am wondering if there is a way to modify Exchange 2013 to not include the subject or message body, so that our users could at least get an instant notification 1-that they have a new email and 2-who it's from?
Any information would be appreciated, thanks!

After 4.4.2 update, messaging notifications don't update even after I've read all emails and txts. Have to turn phone on and off to clear notifications. Anyone else having this issue? How to fix? thanks.

Messaging notifications won't clear after update. Have to reboot phone (RAZR M). Any suggestions?

Hi Amedame,
Updates are supposed to improve the device! Can you check your messages to make sure that there are not any messages appearing in bold black? Place the device in the safe mode to see if the messages will clear http://vz.to/1hzeXFt .

Changing Message notifications

I would like to change the notification sound when I receive email/txt messages without having to change the ringtone option. Is this possible? If so, what are the steps please?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Bell)

Go to the messaging app and go to preferences and accounts. You should be able to change the ringtone from there.

Email to Text Message Notification

I'm trying to set up a text message notification for an "emergency" email account as my company is closed between Christmas and New Year's Day and I'm running into an issue with sending messages to Sprint customers, which is really weird.
I can successfully send the stock message that I have to customers @txt.att.net and @vtext.com for AT&T and Verizon customers, but when I try to send a message to @messaging.sprintpcs.com my message status says that everything went successfully, but the text is never received. Now to pile on the weird... I can create a plain new email message and copy and paste the Sprint text message address from the same rule that I'm trying to create and the message successfully goes to the phone. So to recap, email to text by a rule doesn't work, but email to text by a stand-alone message goes through without a problem. Everything seems to be tied to the email to text being generated automatically and on the Sprint network only. Sprint is pointing me to something with how the message is getting sent from GroupWise because a manual message will successfully go through but not the automatic ones. Has anyone ever heard of something like this?

Could be this switch 'realmailfrom' is needed, TID 10100683

After updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google,yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. How can solve this problem?

after updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google(web ,image,video,map etc),yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. even I cant log out from different sites cz the log out bar is completely disabled. I tried with Firefox 4;5 and 6, same problem exist . I tried by active all add ons for facebook, same problem exist. If I use internet explorer , I don't find such problem with it.
How can I solve this problem?

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

Cannot send txt messages from my iPhone to a android galaxy gear 3

My husband switched from an iPhone to a galaxy note three and kept his old cell number. Now he cannot receive texts from any other iPhones including mine.
Research on Internet indicates this is common issue when an iPhone user switches to an android device and keeps old number from iPhone! Problem does not happen with new android devices .any workable solution known? So far suggestions in forums have not helped. APPLE store personnel uninformed reissue,as well as Best Buy personnel.

Looks to me like the question has indeed been asked 500 times or more...but still looks to me like many still have unresolved solutions if they have more than one Apple device. I've been attempting to follow advice giving in forum conversations...still, no luck. I had turned off imessage on old IPHONE before, then unregistered my old iphone, but still can not get txt messages from any of my friends who have an iphone...not one. I do have several other Apple devices..an IMAC, an MAC BOOK PRO, an IPAD 2 and an IPAD3 still on my same Apple Account that my old phone was on. Is this now the problem

How do I use a MyVerizon ringtone I received in the form of a txt message? The long touch method on the media does not work, btw.

I purchased a ringtone on My Verizon via my computer. They sent me txt message with the media but I can't figure out how to save it as a ringtone. The long touch method doesn't work. It's not anywhere in my media files, and frankly I just joined verizon but they have proven a bit difficult. On thin ice already, this isn't helping.

Have you managed to save it to your phone? If so, download a file explorer app (like Estrongs file explorer) from the Play Store. Open up the file explorer app and navigate to the "Download" folder. Scroll through your downloads to locate the ringtone file. Select it and use the file explorer's copy or cut function to put the ringtone file in the clipboard. Back out of the "download" folder to the "sdcard" level. Then look for a "ringtones" folder. Select it to open it and view the contents. Using the file explorer, paste the ringtone file to that folder. Back out of the file explorer app. The ringtone will now be available in the "phone ringtone" selection list.

Curve 3G keeps deleting my txt messages..

Hello all
I have Curve 9300 3G, running on OS 6 (6.0.0.600, platform 6.6.0.223)
The device is automatically deleting my messages after few feeks, starting from the oldest (they last about 1 month than they are deleted..)
I have tried to look for an option of "how long to save messages" in the device and couldn't find any.... In the device manual it says and in the device Help\Search it sais the same:
home->messages->options-> Message Display and Actions , but this sub-category option doesn't appear on my device messages options (i googled it and also ppl said they can't find this option on their curve 3G...)
i have in option of messages this sub-categories:
General Text Messaging options, SMS Text, MMS and in none of them there is an option regarding how long to keep txt messages...
* Memory Cleaning is disabled
** Also in some searches in google ppl said free some memory. it is not the problem.. i have 70 MB free on the device and 7GB free in my memory card.. my BB is new.. only 2 month old
so where can i set the device settings regarding saving my messages?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

if u read my post carfully u can see that i know that.. i wrote it in my post..
i have found out why i don't see this menu: Message Display and Actions, there is a bug in the OS 6 with my BB or just with curve 3G i don't know.. other people reportet my problem as well
when i go to options of messages it don't get this submenues:
Message Display and Actions
Inbox Management
Email account Managment
Spell Check
Text Messaging
after going to options of messages it goes straight to Text Messaging... and doesn't show thouse 5 sub-menues
and because of this bug i can't even find "Message Display and Actions" in the general search of the device..
the solution :
go to the call logs, then select one of the call logs and press on home button and select options
then u see the 5 sub-categories\menues with Message Display and Actions among them, go inside and there u can select the option of how long to keep messages
took me some time of playing with the device to find this crappy bug and find another way to get this Message Display and Actions..
hope it will helps other with this bug in the OS

Spinning circle * Thunderbird is not responding when I try to write or access emails. I had attempted to delete a bunch of old txt messages in seldom used Gmail

I saw I had almost 30,000 txt messages on a Gmail account that I had created a gmail account for on Thunderbird. I didn't realize that they were going here from Gmail. I highlighted all of them and attempted to delete them. The spinning circle finally went away and all of them were gone. But when I tried to do anything else on Thunderbird with my regular email accounts (Comcast & Hotmail), I would get a spinning circle and Thunderbird is not responding. I had to use Ctrl Alt Del and then reopen. I tried compacting but this morning when I tried to write an email from one of my Comcast emails in Thunderbird, again I got the spinning circle and Thunderbird is not responding. In order to do anything, I have to close the program by hitting Crrl Alt Del and try again.
My Trash Local folders says 8300.
This morning, when I tried accessing Thunderbird at the bottom of the taskbar it said, "downloading....of 17,000 to All Mail. Had no clue what that meant. I let it continue until all were and thought my issue would be resolved. But no. :(
Something obviously got corrupted in the program. What do I need to do to fix this?
Thank you.
Fred

Any iPhone that lists the same email will receive the same texts. This has to be changed in order to stop receiving on all devices.

Is there a way to disable previously viewed iMessages from appearing as Messages notifications when waking my MacBook Pro from sleep?

Is there a way to disable previously viewed iMessages from appearing as Messages notifications when waking my MacBook Pro from sleep? Regardless of whether I am using iMessage from my iPhone or iPad, when I open my MBP, I get attacked by Messages notifications for iMessages I've obviously already seen or responded to. Is there a way to change this? Are others having this issue?
Additionally, previous iMessages sent or received from those devices sometimes don't populate into the Messages window on the MBP. I haven't been able to identify when or what causes this; sometimes it just doesn't seem to work (and I verified that the messages sent/received were, in fact, iMessages and not SMS).
Thanks - any help or insight would be appreciated!

First you need to determine what laptop model you have; then we can help you. A Mac Book Pro cannot run OS 9.1.
With your Mac booted up, click on the  at the far left of the menu. Then click on About This Mac. It will show what version of OS you are running. What is the version?
A MBP will be running something like version 10.x.
If you are running version OS 9.x, you don't have a Mac Book Pro.

Lost all my photos and txt messages during last update- HELP PLEASE

During the last IPhone update my phone went into restore mode and when it recovered all my photos, videos, and txt messages were gone. I went to restore through old ITunes restore points, but they were gone too- all I have is one from 2011 and the one with nothing on it, and I have synced my phone hundreds of times since 2011. Is there anything I can do? I have a Mac, could I use Time Machine to go back to an old date, and possibly the ITunes restore points will be there? Any help will be much appreciated!!!

Did you fail to backup the device prior to attempting the update? If so, any content between the last backup and when the update apparently failed will be gone.
If the device has been used as designed, contact would be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service. Simply sync them back.
Pictures and videos taken with the device are designed to be copied to a computer regularly. Only a fool would expect a device so easily lost/stolen or damaged to be sole storage of their "important" pictures.
