Connection problems Just yeasterday i started having problems with my LG Chocolate's text messaging. For no reason, it stopped receiving texts. Finally, i just turned it off and then back on. Within seconds i started getting texts from the previous day!! Now (the next day) i am texting just fine then all of a sudden i stopped receiving texts again! :( My phone will also not receive any pic/flix messages since yesterday when this problem started. It starts to "Connect" in order to receive the pic message then says "Unable to receive picture message". I also received one but i couldnt open it. The sender's name was listed as "JJ" but no number is listed. PLEASE HELP!

Allow the message saving on the extra memory and if you would like the HARD RESET:
1: remove the battery
2: hold the phone sideways, with the camera/music/on off buttons facing up!
3: HOLD ON TO ALL 3 BUTTONS (cam/music/on\off) + the microphone button on the other side and put the battery in ! wait till you see
FILE SYSTEM LOADING (please wait, do NOT POWER OFF THE UNIT WHILE LOADING!!!)
then you will have a BLANK phone... no contacts NOT EVEN A WORKING SERVICE ! needs to be re-activated! After a quick call to the provider, you will once again have a working phone.

My chocolate verizon phone says who is texting me. When I receive a message. How do I get it to stop ?

it runs off your contact list if a name and number are linked as a contact the phone automatically list that name in place of the number for all calls and text coming to the phone go change the names in your contact list to bogue names best bet to correct it

Cannot send or receive picture messages with the VX 8500 Chocolate also the phone drops calls constantly. when i send a message i receive a message back stating that it was sent in another code or text.

i would take your phone to verizon and talk to them...
they might give you the same phone you have or possibly switch you to a different phone if you had previous problems like that or they ran out of that phone.

Lg chocolate wont hold very many texts

Unfortunately, the texts are stored on the internal memory of the phone in a special place just for text messages, and the limit of the inbox is going to max out at around 40 or 50 texts. Just delete them from the phone, or if you want to save them, you can always email them to yourself from the phone with the forward option, and put in your email address instead of a phone number. You will be charged the standard messaging rate if you dont have a text plan on your phone though.

Not sending sms txt on LG KS20 but can receive...please help

To fix this problem is you need to borrow/own a phone that is from your service provider that isn't touch or 3G phone. I used Nokia 5200 or Nokia 5300.. Same phones

Change the number for Voice mail.
(Your Cellphone Number) then put your Voice Mail # on your Text number where you receive your Text service SMS. Make sure both # has the +1 at the start.

Hope this help...
