Just got Sidekick 2008 and it has a few issues. Help?

Just got the Sidekick 2008 and there are a few things I cant figure out.



1. When I first turn it on, its goes to the main menu for a second then a new screen pops up. It says %26quot;Waiting to register for data services. A welcome screen will appear within 24 hours after purchase. If it does not, power your device off, then on. To bypass this screen, press (the button in the top left corner, with the three horizontal lines) and select 'Phone and Text'. You will be prompted to register later.%26quot;



So I bypass the screen, but what is it trying to register? This happens every time I turn my phone on.



2. Whenever I get a text, my phone does not ring or vibrate. I went to the settings and set a ringtone under %26quot;New message alert%26quot;, didnt work. Then I went to settings%26gt;sound profiles%26gt;repeat pending alerts and reminders and set a ringtone, still no ring. WHat do I do?



3. In my inbox and sent messages folders, it doesnt say the contacts name, only their number. I made sure the numbers were correct, which they all are. Then I tried adding the number into the adress book again, still didnt work. I turn my phone off and back on, no change. How do i fix this?



Any help is appreciated!!!!Just got Sidekick 2008 and it has a few issues. Help?The first two issues happens when you do not have the Sidekick Data Plan. You have to purchase the data plan through Tmobile. As for the messages you need to ensure that you have the area code along with the number.

Sidekick id how to?

i just got a sidekick id from a friend so i dont have an owner's manual, so bare with me.



how do you...

1) select a ringtone for when everyone calls

2) turn the flip sound off or change the tune( you know, when you make the screen flip up and down it makes a noise)

3)put pics on my phone



oh and also incase your wondering, i dont have internet on this phone so i cant just get to my albumSidekick id how to?Aightttt



For the ringtone; scroll to %26quot;phone%26quot;, hit menu (top left button w/ 3 lines), then settings, then click general, select your ringtone, hit menu again then click done.



Turn the flip sound off: press the bottom left button a few times til you're at the main menu. Then hit the menu button, then select settings, then scroll to sound profiles, then click edit, then turn down the system sounds.



You can text pics to yourself but that's it... sorry.

Hwo do i get free ringtones?

ive registered on 2 different sites, and i still cant figure out how to even change my ringtone on ym phone.



i have a sidekick lx 2009.



the ringtone im lookin for is sweet child o mine by gnrHwo do i get free ringtones?http://www.freeringtonecreator.ventones.info



Ventones will customize it for your phone

and carrier. much better and safer than buying them from any site online because you make them yourself and you know you won't get scammed into any subsciption site



100% freeHwo do i get free ringtones?If you want spam phone calls and text messages you could always download if offline, but if you don't want span you can download something called Nero Wave editor and all you have to do is play the song in nero and it will allow you to cut out the specific part that you want, save it, then plug your phone in and drag the song to where you want.



Hope this helps =]



p.s. this website also helps http://mobile17.com/ (but no promises about not getting spam)Hwo do i get free ringtones?Here is a direct link to the song you are looking for. MyXer is completely free and customizes the song to your device.

Tmobile Sidekick 3 HELp

Is there a way to change the default ring for like, random incoming calls, on a Tmobile sidekick 3? right now, its the default tmobile jingle, but I would like to change that so something that i bought. I know how to change each induvidual contacts ringtone, but is it possible to change the default?





thanks!Tmobile Sidekick 3 HELpwell..i've done it before..

i think what you do is go to the phone option on the phone and click the upper left hand corner button and theres probably and options button from the drop down box up there,and i think once you click that it might be in there..

but its been 3 or 4 months since i had mine so i cant be too sure..Tmobile Sidekick 3 HELpI LOVE THE SIDEKICK 3 AND I DO THINK IT IS POSSIBLE!!!!

Will you help me with my sidekick slide?

1.) Is this true?http://allaboutthekick.com/sk3/tricks/howto/hottobackground.html and if so can you find me Jonas Brothers pictures at that size(joe is my favorite)



2.) How do i put music on this without a memory card? Same with pictures.



3.) Why cant i recieve messages with recorded songs from my friends phone? Same with her pictures.



4.) How do i change my ringtone to a voice note that i recorded if a can do that?Will you help me with my sidekick slide?1.) yes, u can customize the background through ur computer. www.skslidethemes.com



2.) u need a memory card to add music and pictures. the memory card is kinda like the %26quot;hard drive%26quot; of ur sidekick. music cant be saved on the internal drive of ur fone. ya know?



3.) u should receive pictures with sound, i have a LX and my pic messages work fine. try sending a pic to urself and see if u get it. and u do need to have a text message plan or the sidekick data plan to receive pics. and if u cant receive pics dat u sent to urself, then its best to call Customer Care for help: 1-800-937-8997 or dial 611 from ur fone.(i would recommend calling from another fone dan ur slide, like say a house phone)



4.) t-mobile USA sidekick users dont have the option to record a ringtone and use it as a ringtone, t-mobile blocked dat featured, idk why, its dumb, all though other sidekick users around the world have that option but oh well.



well hope that helps! :)
