How to get blackberry curve ringer to sound when I get a sms?
I just got a blackberry curve 8830 and the profile is on normal sounds and when I get a call I hear my ringer, but when I get a text it just vibrates. I edited the profile and the sms in/out of holster are set to Vibrate+Tone. How do I get my phone to beep when I get a message? And what is the difference between in and out of holster?
Go under the sound settings on your phone and you should find it and how to change that somewhere in there. & Im not sure about the holster thing unless youre talking about a phone case. & if thats the case in holster is when you have the phone inside a case, and out holster, is when youre wearing the phone in a case, but most of it can still be visible.
out of holster is the standard operating mode for a BlackBerry. In holster is a standby mode which lets the device use less power/resources.
Th reason you don’t hear your tone when an sms comes in is that the alert vibrates first and is finished before the tone can start. Set the option to tone only and that should fix your problem.
Also try changing the “level 1′ message to tone only as well.
