No new line with texting
 

Like many/most others I love my new 9700. However, with the new OS, while texting, I'm no longer to create a new line when I press return. BB automatically sends the message whenever I press return.

Is there a "fix" for this?

Options > SMS > Press Enter to Send = No.
And save :)

thank you kindly

actually - I just went to my options and there's nothing that would allow me to set the option of sending with return

so I still need help with this

The setting is under the BB options, NOT the message app options.

Go to: Options (wrench) / scroll to SMS Text / it's at the bottom of the SCREEN OPTIONS section "Press Enter Key to Send"

It's not at the bottom of options > SMS > Screen Options on mine. I'm using 5.0.0.351 (5.1.0.98).

HHmm I checked and I do not have that option neither. Although I do like that return=send :-)

Alt + Enter?
 

have you tried "alt + enter?" that might work with the 9700.
let me know if it works

Isn't that supposed to bring up the change language option?

I'm not sure...I have a Storm 9530, and when i hit my "alt" button and press enter, it goes to the next line. I imagine it would do the same on the 9700.

Right Shift + Enter = Next line

Shift + enter makes more sensexxx8230;I checked out my storm and I donxxx8217;t have an xxx8220;altxxx8221; button, itxxx8217;s just the shift button that I use. I was mistaken. But yeah, Shift + enter should do the job.

It must be OS version related...

- sigh -
the option has to be somewhere on the 9700

The shift enter works but the keypad is small enough so I don't really like pressing more than one key.

It must be OS related not showing up on my 8530.

- sigh -
I just showed you where it was on my 9700.

What version of OS are you using?

Alternate solution: don't use the enter key until ready to send. You don't really need paragraph separation on SMS messages for heavens' sake.

Why would this even be set in the first place on the 9700??
