Nokia E71x (at&t) Tutorial - Part 2 (Messaging)

[kimskt18]

do you know how to download apps for a nokia e 71x???/

[Indestructable93]

can you have a text signature for this phone

[136749]

when you text does it show it as a conversation, or just the individual messages?

[jkology]

If I have personal email (AOL, Gmail, etc) and use Xpress Mail, will that update my Microsoft Outlook contacts and calendar? If not, is there another way to sync them, like with the USB cable?

[JY5270]

is the texting chatted

[spooky2315]

hey since i got this phone the message thing keeps blinking help please its annoying

[stickfigmusicvid]

thanks 4 this :D

[RCardilli]

dude your the mostes im waiting for mine to come in from at&t

[jmabad]

How can I dial vanity numbers?

[jmabad]

You need more lighting and it would be great if you can have a base for the phone so that it won't move so much when you handle the phone.

[bluem3]

My e71x won't let me press SEND to send email....I have to go to OPTIONS. Anyone getting these issues....

[InhumanTSK]

Is there any faster way to copy cut and paste text than shuffling through all those menus?

[chaseaustinmiller614]

thanks alot. this really infulenced me to get this phone.

[s3collins]

Probably the most in depth review I've seen! Thank you for doing this.

[zachysaysRAWR]

Does it have a chat view like the blackberry?

[Epicfialguytah09]

[xmaswak]

These tutorial have been great - I am loving my phone, and you have helped me get to some features that eluded me.

[Robrob007]

I tried this e71x and is awesome specially the calendar and the keyboard. I hate my iphone for not having a calendar button and having a crappy calendar

[DilliamShow]

thanks now i want the phone!

[nestrada90]

is express mail free? I have wifi in my cell so how can i receive my email in my cell like the iphone does?

[thedays101]

[Naviti7]

I really appreciate these videos. I just ordered mine today, and I can't wait for it to arrive. I've heard so many great things about it.

[DiggerOwl]

Does this have threaded messaging?

[Tayfusion]

No but you can download it so that your sms are threaded..

[VoLcOmDuDe27RWTF]

[sonna132]

You sound congested! hahah!

bu thank you so much :D

i just got this phone 2 days ago and these videos help me out a lot (:

[MHSJS10]

Thank you very much! :D

[MHSJS10]

Is it true that you can only delete your messages one at at time?

Please respond!

[blipov]

no, not true... you can mark multiple and complete one action on all your marked items

[In4NuB]

no, you can choose to (check all) and then uncheck the ones u want to keep and delete the rest

[In4NuB]

Actually it says (Mark/Unmark) and then choose to mark just one or all. Just to be correct.

[dlapinski]

how do you pay for e-mail

[blipov]

depends... many of the email solutions are free, but you will need a data plan to have your email sync regularly. Otherwise, you will need to connect to wi-fi and sync manually. Mail for Exchange and Nokia Messaging are both free email solutions

[jimnguyenwithlife]

To all the viwers out there who ask about the data plan,

You dont need one!

I got mine and i didnt have to purchase the data plan!

And the reason why i didnt get it, is becuase it has wifi

[carebear45500]

Can u set a signature on text messages and set a ringtone as a message tone when u receive a text?

[blipov]

sorry, i don't believe so

[lfaltez]

is it possible to "lock" numbers in order to use full numbers (in one entry per touch basis, not use shift or function key)??

[Thompson6ful]

@blipov u can create a message tone just no signature

[r2d2skate]

how do youlock the phone?

[blipov]

keypad lock or security lock? Menu, Settings, config, general, security, phone and sim card

[r2d2skate]

keypad lock?

[r2d2skate]

where is the send key?

[blipov]

the green icon on the left side

[foozeballplaya24]

blipov, is the text messaging formatted as a conversation?

[blipov]

no, see above for an app you can download for that

[thumper80]

Can you watch videos off of other websites on the E71X besides youtube?

[blipov]

Yes... using the skyfire app I demo in part 5 of this series, you can access virtually any media content on the web

[rigaTONii]

can you change fonts?

[blipov]

it just comes with one default font that I'm aware of,, but you can change the font size, and I'm pretty sure you can dload additional fonts

[filiphilopeno]

Your videos are sweeet and comprehensive. thanks man. I plan to upgrade to this phone either soon or in November when my contract expires.

[rigaTONii]

does this phone have a threaded viewer for text messaging?

[blipov]

not preloaded...you need to download an app for that

[rigaTONii]

you mean for free? & its for text messaging right?

[mzz702]

i need to no how to sign into yahoo messenger i click the icon and it freezes

[yoyojm]

my propell messed up i like this phone...

how much would it be i have a contract and everything...

and is the vibrating on messages loud?

[blipov]

$99 w/ contract... you'll have to check around to get the best no contract price...

[justin55723]

does it cost money to get the upgrade to be able to edit documents?

[blipov]

usually, yes... but there is a promo on this phone that you can get it free

[justin55723]

is there HTML support in emails. and can you do video streaming on youtube?

[blipov]

depends which email solution you're using, nokia messaging is in HTML. there is a youtube application you can download

[contaygious]

does it have sms threading????????

[blipov]

not built in... there are some 3rd party apps you can dload

[lanceward3]

i cant figure out how to use the IM on it i type all my stuff in and click sign in and it just says signing in for forever and wont go no where

[marinjim]

Can the text reader read out in other languages? This would be a great communicator when in another country (assuming you could send yourself a text message). Your posts are great by the way.

[blipov]

Yes, but I think you need to dload the language you want. I got thai to work on my unlocked E71. By the way, you may want to try the google translator

[fastmar17]

is there a way to set up when the texts delete them selves? I don't like going through them just to delete texts.

[blipov]

sorry, not that i know of... you can easily mark all, and delete all at once... or if you have to delete one by one, use the delete key instead of options to save yourself some button presses.

[BCBMa25]

Thanks for the tutorial! Made my transition to the new phone much easier!

[blipov]

Yes, using your Mail for Exchange or Xpress mail (I think) ... you can create your own email signature

[rigaTONii]

can u have a signature on here?

[blipov]

Yes, using your Mail for Exchange or Xpress mail (I think) ... you can create your own email signature

[rigaTONii]

okay for text messaging too right?

[Nomadd22]

I got my phone yesterday and having fun so far. I'm stuck on predictive text. My phone does not have Input Options but has Writing Language under Font. Do you know where they moved this function?

[blipov]

you got me stumped... should be the same as mine... maybe you're in another function or something?

[Keilz]

With this phone do you need a weird data plan like the iphone? plz reply

[blipov]

it is a data phone, and does require a data plan... otherwise, it would just be a phone.

[Keilz]

but do I have to have the data plan cause all i will use it for is pics and txting calling basic phone stuff

[mrtoddles11]

Yes you do. It's an additional $30 a month you must pay for the first 6 months of your new 2 year contract for unlimited data.

[blipov]

i don't believe the data plan is mandatory

[Kjartan93a]

Or if there are alternative ways to connect to POP3 accounts (not via XPressMail), that would be fine... How can one do that?

[quest8899]

Do you need a pda plan to setup an email account..

[blipov]

Yes

[zephxiii]

Quick shortcut for copy, cut, and paste. Instead of going through the menu, you can FN, Ctrl, X C or V :) (not holding all buttons down, just pressing them in that order.

[zephxiii]

Forgot:

X = Cut

C = Copy

V = Paste

Just like on windowz

[blipov]

good tip... but I believe that only works on the unlocked version, not the E71x. I've tried it on both. Let me know if you have tried it successfully on the at&t version.

[zephxiii]

ahh, hmm that's weird. Maybe nokia forgot about it when they implemented FP2 or something.

[blipov]

Don't know much about hacking, but it runs on S60 3.2. the unbranded runs on 3.1.

[filthyj24]

Man have I got a lot of questions for u. First what is the firmware version on the e71x? Reason I ask is because I have an e71-2 and hacked it so I can install unsigned apps and there's quite a few that are detrimental to me, one being free isms. However I'm eligible for a 2 year upgrade and really want the e71x so if you could please tell me if the e71x is hackable that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[mrtoddles11]

Why would you want the E71x if you already have the E71-2? I have an AT&T branded Nokia 6650 that runs FP2 that I was able to hack no problem and run isms.

[filthyj24]

i changed my mind after playing with one for a bit. i had assumed it would be pretty much the same save for feature pack 2 and being black (which looks so much better, main reason i wanted it) but after learning how much att locked it down and bloatware it added i decided to just be happy with what i have
