Hi there!
Have you ever tried to soft reset the phone?
Soft reset is removing the battery at the back of the phone for a minute to refresh the settings of the handset.
If the same problem exist, at your earliest convenience, please call Samsung Customer Support by phone at our toll free number 1-888-987-4357, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday, Central Standard Time.
Thank you for your continued interest in Samsung products.
Hey, with the keyboard out, while typing a text, try pushing the left soft key a few times, I had the same problem, and that seemed to fix it. Hitting that key makes the phone cycle through it's character choices, and seems to make it act less like you're using the number pad. (I've only had this happen rarely, but it seems to be triggered by hitting the center silver button to reply or compose texts.)

Question
How can I get the pictures off my phone and into my computer?
I do not have the disk that came with it. I was told that I didn't need it when I purchased it and it was not in the box. Now I am being told that I need the disk to be downloaded into the computer to be able to remove the pictures from my phone!

Thank you for your inquiry. As I have checked here with my resources, your phone doesn’t come with a disk for you to be able to transfer pictures. You need to have a memory card inserted in your phone and copy the pictures from the phone’s memory to the memory card.
For more information, please check the link below.
Thank you for your inquiry, Here are the steps of how you can transfer your pictures from your phone to the pc.
NOTE: make sure that the phone has a memory card is properly inserted inserted in the phone.
1. Verify the handset PC Connection setting is set to USB Mass Storage as follows:
From standby, press the Menu key Select Settings (9) Select Phone Settings (5) Select PC Connection (7) Highlight the USB Mass Storage option Press the OK key
2.Plug the USB data cable into both the phone and PC 3.When the New Removable Disk appears on the PC display choose to "open folder to view files using 4.Windows Explorer" or manually open it 5.Either copy pictures from the phone's My_Images folder or from the PC destination 6.Paste the pictures into the PC destination or the phone's My_Images folder
How do I get images, photos, and videos from my phone to my computer?
I can take pictures and videos, but I can't figure out how to get them off the phone, and onto my computer.

if you have a Micro SD card inserted make sure you have your pics & vids saved to it & then go into Menu> Settings> PC Connection & select USB Mass Storage. Your chargers wire should be able to disconnect for the base revealing a USB end plug that into your USB port the phone will ask you "Use mobile phone as mass storage device?" answer Yes then go to computer on your computer & select removable drive (mine shows as removable drive (f)) & it should bring up Images, Videos, Music, etc... click on which ever one then just cut or copy then paste. You could also remove the SD card put it in the adapter & slide it into your computers SD slot if it has one

If you wish to transfer media files, you may do mass storage so you could transfer them to the computer.(vice versa) For you to connect the phone to the computer, it would require you to have the memory card inside the phone and a data cable, once you already have the requirements, and then do the following:
If the microSD memory card came from another phone and you could not saved any files on it. Try to format the microSD memory card using your phone so that the phone will recognize the microSD memory card inserted in it.
For you to connect the phone to the computer, it would require you to have the memory card inside the phone and a data cable that is part of your standard box contents. Once you already have the requirements, then do the following steps:

You should be able to exit silent mode by holding down the # key. (it should have the symbol for silent mode (a vibrating phone) on it.) it takes 2-3 seconds, and could have easily gotten pushed against something as trivial as loose change or keys.

Hi needinfo,
Thank you for your inquiry.
To exit Silent / Vibrate Mode, hold down the pound key (#) for about 2 seconds while in Silent / Vibrate Mode. You will see a confirmation message for Silent / Vibrate Mode, each time you enter or exit Silent / Vibrate Mode and the vibration icon will appear at the top right of the display.
We appreciate your continued interest in Samsung products. Have a good day.
When I use quick search and enter 2255 (for call) I get an option of 'call connect' where I can choose on or off. What is this for and what does it do?

Good question. This option is under the sound settings, and plays a few notes when your call has connected, and also will play a few notes if your call gets dropped, or if the person on the other end hangs up.

Hi Harsha!
Thank you for your inquiry.
Apparently, we do not have any available software nor drivers that you would be needing for you to connect the phone to the computer.
If you are going to transfer media files from your Samsung Messager™ II Full Qwerty Cell Phone (SCH-R560) to the computer, you may do mass storage so you could transfer them to the computer. For you to connect the phone to the computer, it would require you to have the memory card inside the phone and a compatible USB data cable, once you already have the requirements, follow the procedures on the links below:
1. Connect the USB data cable to both the handset and the USB port on the computer. 2. If Select USB Mode appears on the display press the clear key to return to the standby screen OR if the MTP Connect to the PC... appears on the display, press OK then with Yes highlighted press OK to disconnect from the PC.
Menu > Settings > Phone Settings > PC Connection > Mass Storage > Save
3. From the PC, double click on the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop. 4. Double click on the newly created drive letter (which may appear as an icon or text, depending on your View settings). 5. Double click on the designated folder to view the contents. 6. Copy and paste or drag & drop the media files to the destination on the computer. 7. From the handset, press OK for Disconnect. 8. With Yes highlighted, press OK then remove the USB data cable from both the handset and PC.
Note: Make sure the Bluetooth is disabled and the phone is in idle mode.
If the notification does not show up on the phone or on the computer, try to turn off you phone or connect the USB cable to another USB port on your computer.
Should you desire additional assistance resolving this, we invite you to call Samsung Customer Support by phone at our toll free number 1-888-987-4357, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday, Central Standard Time.
We appreciate your continued interest in Samsung products.
Your phone is probably in "No Connection" mode. To change this, simply go to >menu>setting>5. Phone Setting>8. PC Connection. and switch it to USB Mass Storage.

Hi there,
Thank you for your inquiry and we understand that you would like to know the meaning of heap check on camera and camcorder mode on your phone, SCH-R560.
Heap check mode is a debugging program or tool that looks for coding errors in the temporary buffers of your phone's memory.
You may try performing a soft reset on the phone as a basic troubleshooting step to fix it, by taking out the battery for at least 15-30 seconds, then put the battery back in again and turn it back on to refresh the software.
You may also try to free up your phone's memory by moving pictures and videos on your storage card.
You may use the link provided below for the steps on how to move pictures and videos from your phone to your storage card.
Note: Please copy and paste the entire link on the search engine.

Hi, Annamarieorwig!
To turn off or disable Silent mode on the SCH-r560 (Messager) handset, just press and hold down the pound key for about 2-3 seconds. You will see a confirmation message displayed each time you enter or exit Silent Mode in the top right corner of the display.
TIP: The Metro PCS SCH-R560 (Messager II) handset will vibrate rather than ring, if enabled, when you receive a phone call, message or alert while in Silent Mode.
