Elongated key tone when saving messages on my Blackberry Bold

Hi there

Turn on your BlackBerry. Press the "Menu" key to go to the applications page, and scroll down to find the "Profiles" icon. Click the icon to enter the "Profiles" options menu.

Scroll down and click "Advanced."

Highlight the active profile and press the "Menu" key. Click "Edit."

Click "SMS Text." Change the field next to "Ring Tone" to your desired text tone. You can also change the volume and vibration option of the text message alerts from this screen. Press the "Menu" key when you are satisfied with your changes. Click "Save."

Go to the sounds icon in the upper left corner of your main Home screen (the one that looks like a speaker with sound coming out of it). Scroll down the list that appears and select Set Ring Tones/Alerts. Click Messages, then SMS Text. Select the ring tone and volume that you want for text messages, as well as any other options (like vibrate) and then exit out and save your changes.

Hi, i just got myself one of these phones recently and i'm still getting used to hit
Here is how you change your SMS ringtone

Go to PROFILES
You will then see a list starting with Blackberry Messenger Alert and Blackberry Messenger New Message etc etc
Scroll down to SMS
Press enter(touchpad)
Then you will see all the options you can change
Scroll down to the Ring Tone and highlight the name of the tone
Press enter
Now you can select from any tone that you have put on the phone or any pre-loaded tone
If you want a pre-loaded tone they are all on this page
If you want one of your own loaded tone select browse
You will then have a choice of two...select Media cards where your own ringtones should be
Press touchpad and you can select any tone from there
Once selected it will bring you back to another screen which you then need to press the back button(right of the touchpad)
Then all you have to do is SAVE

Good luck

You may be missing the service book for SMS. Logon to the BIS, it is a website of your carrier where you set up your BB email. There you can resend all the service books.
If you have never been there, call the carrier to have them do it for you.

hold your # key and use the scroll ball to hihlight messages, when messages are highlighted, release # key and press the menu key, select delete.

plesae contact your sevice provider for this issue

I had the same problem If you SAVE any messages they move to your SAVED folder they will show as new just go into the file cabinet icon and see if any messages are there all you do is open them and the icon should go away

STEP 1 : First check for the free space in the handset

1. selece the option icon in the main menu
2. scroll down and then select memory
3. check for the free space in the device.If the memory is full then delete some application.

After doing all the above steps with out switching off the handset remove the batery and sim after few seconds reinsert them again.
For refreshing the handset .


STEP 2:
Check the old messages are deleting are new one if old messages are deleting then follow the below steps.

1. Select the message icon from the main menu
2. Press menu button and select the Option
3. Select the general option
4. scroll down and select KEEP MESSAGES as per your wish (30days, 15 days, forverer)
5. After selecting any one of the option press menu button and select save .

if you select 15 or 30days the old messages will delete after 15 or 30 days.
If you select forever till you delete the messages it wont delete untill you delete them.

After doing all the above steps with out switching off the handset remove the batery and sim after few seconds reinsert them again.
For refreshing the handset

Step 3:
if the messages and call logs are deleting in between then there is problem in the handset software.You have to take the backup and then reinstall the software of the handset.

message icon select, options select, scroll down to bottom and make sure they are in separate, menu save.
