A bit puzzled.
A couple of days ago I found that my phone and switched from using icon alert rather than the text alert I had set in voicemail prefs [I had a couple of text alerts since then].
When I pressed the voicemail shortcut on the keypad it said no number was stored for it [obviously I had used it before with no probs]. I set it again both in the little box that popped up and also in the settings tab. Other calls to voicemail that day were then fine.
Today I tried to call voicemail and had the same error [no number stored] so I again set it in the popup box and subsequent calls to it were fine.
I then found that for the past 5 hours I have received no emails even though gmail has been set to push and hotmail to poll every 30mins [active from 9am; overnight it is manual only]. Went into settings and the "automatically check" had been unticked for all 3 accounts and all had emails from hours ago.
Anyone had this and what might be the culprit [wwe1.66rom]?
I have a similar problem. Today I found out that my some of my email settings were missing and I had to delete the previous accounts and add new accounts for my gmail & yahoo mails. Sometimes even when there is a wifi connection, email won't be downloaded as scheduled. Further, now I am unable to open the full email by pressing on the homescreen (in manila email page) which earlier used to open the full text in outlook. Now it just registers a press but doesn't open outlook. I am running a stock ROM (1.48) and have made some tweaks via BsB, Advanced Config & S. K. Tools. Though the problems mentioned doesn't seem to be because of the tweaks because it used to work well earlier. Should I flash the latest Stock ROM? (am bit wary because I have never flashed any ROM earlier though have jailbroken my iphone many times.) Or if I have to flash, can somebody suggest me a custom ROM which is similar to Stock ROM but more resource efficient and with some essential tweaks.
voicemail icon is set by the network not the phone so you'll need to call your voicemail and check the settings
Sure I know that but it was odd that so many things had been reset at the same time.
today for some reason activesync setting were disabled for my push gmail account

I have a T-Mobile MDA with POP 3 account set up with auto check every 5 minutes. It is working quite well, however everytime it goes out to check and pulls back the emails I also get a Text message with the header of one of the emails. I have checked all my settings and cant figure it out.
I am using the built in mail system with the MDA. Any ideas? It made me go over my text messages for last month.
The only T-Mobile option that will do that is if you setup that account in "My Email" and no longer have "DAT Triggers" installed on your phone. Either way the text messages you recieve shouldn't count in your SMS limit, if they do this may not be a T-Mobile related issue.
Either way, if it is T-Mobile related you can delete the email account by logging into MyT-Mobile in PocketIE on your phone and hitting "Manage E-Mail" or something similar. Just delete the account and the SMSs should stop.
Like i said though if the messages are counting against your SMS quota this isn't coming from T-Mobile...
I had MyEmail configured for an MDA on my other account that i returned and didn't know i had to delete the MyEmail config even after removing the MDA plan features from my phone. Got about 900 or so text messages from T-Mobile for email as it sent me an SMS for every email. At the end of the month T-Mobile said i still had only used 200 of my 400 quota...
Is it an actual text message or just the notification message appearing at the bottom of your today screen?
It was the Mytmobile account. Some how it set up an account on Mytmobile and would send me a text message everytime I got an email. I deleted the account on mytmobile and now all is well.
thanks
I was screwing around in HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Inbox/Svc trying to delete my outlook account, and when i deleted the folder i noticed that my phone stopped vibrating when i received text messages or emails.
I have since updated the ROM from the HTC website and the outlook account has come back, but i'm still not getting any vibration on messages.
Does anyone know how i can get it to vibrate again?
And i'm still looking for a way to remove the outlook safely - any ideas?
thanks
i know this is simple but is worth a shot if you havent already;
check sounds and notifications (in settings)
check in the notifications tab using drop down menu
Yeah - i have vibrate checked there. it totally sucks because i have to keep looking at my phone to tell if i have a new message
Try installing third party apps like phone alarm and use their profile settings to set vibrate - see if that works.

Hello to all!
I am new to this scene, did a search but could not find solid info on the issue I'm having/researching. I have an O2 Xda Orbit2 with WM6.1 (and using it in the US no problem), have gone through and set all preferences, etc to my liking, etc. I added a few AOL email accounts to the Messaging feature so it can grab emails and prior had set within the Notifications and Sounds settings that the phone NOT give me any notification (all boxes unchecked) of when new email comes in from when the phone runs its scheduled send/receive. However, the phone displays that envelope icon on the top status bar when it retrieves new email...even though that particular setting is NOT checked.
I have tried everything...playing with the notifications, setting it off then on, soft reboot and even a hard reboot (YUCK)...nothing cured it. I still get the envelope icon up top when it pulls new email, I don't want it to do that. Glitch, bug or problem with my phone? Anyone else have this or know what or why it is inherently defaulting to give an onscreen notification of new email when I set it not to??
GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY INFO!!
Hi, since upgrading my Xperia to 2.1 I've notice something really annoying and all I want is for it to STOP!!!
Has anyone noticed whenever they sign into their google/twitter/faceache account the mobile's automatically sync's it's contacts? However instead of updating the outdated information with recent edits (either online or on the handset) it adds to it!! Often leaving a single entry with multiple parts (if you get what I mean) and multiple copies of the same address, number, email and notes in a single contact.
Does anyone here a solution to this?
I just want it to bleedin' STOP!!!
It's sooooo damn bloody annoying!!
I like the mobile contact list to remain the same, unaltered by it's software sync utility yet I like my emails to be pushed... So far, I've played with the phone till i'm completely stressed, only to achieve nothing!
STOP SYNCING my contacts!!!!
ALSO...
Where's the option to have assign different colour flashing LED status, for various types of notifications?
i.e.
Green - missed call
Blue - new sms
Orange - new email... etc...
Did you try going to the "Sync Settings" and turning off Sync? Menu button on the contacts list, go to "Account & Sync Settings" and uncheck "Sync Contacts" ?
when opening facebook on the settings you can disable the updates

I use Blink, its free in the market and works fine
I have a problem with the incoming SMSs ,when I receive a sms the time on it is lagging behind my DELL STREAK set time,when I select either internet time or service provider time. Eg time set through internet is 7.00 PM but when I receive a reply for my msgs/sms it is 6.50 PM ,thus it is lagging behind,and the sequence of the msg thread becomes upside down.If I correct this lag by manually setting the time,my mobile clock becomes 9-10 mins behind actual time.how do i correct this?the sim works fine in other handsets.
Sounds like its the sms app itself, try looking through in app preferences for time stamp issues if that doesnt work try "go sms" free from the market, it has various fixes, troubleshooting options which may isolate the problem
Ya mine does the same thing on the Rogers network. It's pretty frustrating - I tried some different apps, the is an sms time fix on the market that worked, but then it broke my notifications, so the sms would come in showing the right time, but I wouldn't be notified of new messages, so that didn't work for me.
As mentioned above, the best remedy for me was to use another sms app, like go sms or I actually prefer Handcent SMS, all free from the market, Handcent SMS fixed the time issue and also has some other cool features that I like including an unread reminder etc.
I'm not sure why no one knows what causes this or how to fix it in the native app, but either way, the other sms apps are better anyway so you win in the end

What settings do you use on Handcent? I'm on Rogers too and my SMS come in with a -4 hour timestamp. Not all though, but some. So it's pretty weird.
isnt the time stamp on a text, the time it was sent not the time it was recieved. So maybe you phone is just taking ages to recieve texts?
No, it doesn't take 4 hours to recieve a text. Something is screwing up the incoming text's timestamp. When I get a text without first texting someone, it displays the correct incoming timestamp, but if I close Handcent and then open again, it will show that message as -4 hours. The minutes remain correct though. But if I text someone and they reply, the timestamp remains correct. Been trying different settings in the Recieved Messages menu. Provider's delievery report checked, unchecked. Handcent delievery report checked, unchecked. Combinations of the two. Offset recieved messages by -4 hours. Can't seem to fix that little quirk.
