Questions re: Samsung E900

herman2811

Hope someone can help, as I've just bought the above phone. My old phone is the E720 which is really similar to use but I have some issues with the the E900:

I want to be able to receive SMS delivery reports, and I know how to set this... you go to: Messages, Settings, Text Messages, Sending options and what is seen is as follows:

Reply Path
Delivery Report
Character support (GSM-Alphabet)
Bearer Selection (GSM)

Obviously I should simply press up/down to get to delivery report, tick the box, and it's done (this is exactly how it works on my old E720). HOWEVER, when I press up/down, it only scrolls between Character support and Bearer Selection! For some reason it doesn't go up to reply path or delivery report, and I can't figure out why!

Can someone please help?!

Also, does anyway know if it's possible, when the screen is not in use and goes black, for it to have some kind of screensaver instead, or ideally, to display the time? And is there any way of knowing that you've missed a call/text without having to open the slider?

I'm sure I'll probably be back with more questions as I'm still playing with it.... any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
K

The E900 although nice is severely lacking in functionality, you can only add 30 tracks to your playlist! If I was I would sell it ASAP and get another one.

Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't really help with my issues.

Anyone please?!

Well, I did have an E900 and I could change the delivery reports to yes (you have to press left and right to change from 'yes' to 'no' and vice versa)

You actually have to tick the box, but the point is that for some strange reason I can't highlight the delivery report box (it's greyed out).

can you send messages? Are they received successfully? What network are you using?

Yeah I can send messages fine. I'm on Orange.

It's ok I've sorted the problem now... I tried it with a different sim and for some reason "delivery report" wasnt greyed out any more. So I ticked it, and put the original sim back in. With this it was greyed out again, but as I'd ticked the box previously, it's working! Woohoo!

Anyway, does anyone have any ideas for the other things in my original post?

To see missed calls and texts without opening the slider, just press the square button bottom middle when the screen is black and the screen light will come on and you will be able to see this info.

about the delivery report selection, go to sending options and scroll down to Delivery report and press the middle square to select and deselect.
