Nokia :: Can't Assign Different Melodies For Different Alarms
Jan 26, 2010
I have the following feature requests (I previously had a SE phone):
1. You cannot assign different melodies for different alarms. Even old $50 non-smartphones can do that.
2. You cannot make one alarm for Monday, Thuesday and Friday and another alarm for Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Work days are absolutely insufficient. Please, make it possible to assign any number of days for any alarm.
3. Delivery reports must be a part of the sent messages. It's absolutely inconvenient to have them in a separate folder. This way you have to go into a separate folder just to know if a message was delivered or not (in case you've sent a dozen of messages and missed on-screen delivery reports).
4. Received SMS messages do not include sent date information (a time/date when a person hit 'send' ), only a time/date of actual delivery.
5. When adding a contact to a contact list, earlier SMS messages from this contact remain unidentified.
6. Service requests, e.g. *NUMBER# have no user feedback. All other mobile phones I've dealt with say: "Requesting ..." (I can upload video demonstrating this issue.)
7. Many actions, like hanging up cause very uneven feedback - the phone shutdowns in less than a fraction of a second. I can upload video demonstrating this issue.
8. It's not clear if a mobile telephone is fully charged up - especially if you haven't heard the completion sound/alarm.
9. The same telephone numbers with different prefixes are not recognized. In my country you can call a person "8 123456789" and receive a phone call from "+7 123456789" - Nokia 5530 will treat these two numbers as different numbers when in fact they are the same.
Also you can call a person or a land line phone by omitting country and city prefix like 1234567 and then that person or number will call from "+(country prefix) (city prefix) 1234567" and, of course, Nokia will not recognize this phone number.So this is a direct request to Nokia software engineers: if the last five digits of a number match any previously stored number it must be treated as the old already saved number, e.g. a call from XXXXX12345 must be treated as a call from PersonA who has 12345 telephone number.
10. When entering an SMS message, the phone sometimes goes nuts and after you've finished typing a sentence ending it with dot, all subsequent characters are entered in CAPS mode. (I can upload video demonstrating this issue).
11. QWERTY keyboard in wide screen mode should look exactly like a QWERTY keyboard, like here http://www.gonzalobarr.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/qwerty.gif So the second row should have a different indentation and e.g. 'A' char should be located almost in the middle of 'Q' and 'W' chars above. Right now in wide screen QWERTY keyboard the second and third row chars are located exactly under first row chars and it's not easy to map this image with your memory of QWERY keyboard. That makes typing much more difficult.
12. You cannot edit a contact before opening it, which means a lot of unneeded clicks. Please, add "Edit" to contact "Options".
I noticed that if I have 2 alarms and I change the alarm sound then this will affect all alarms!How can I set different alarm sounds for different alarms?
I have various calendar alarms set on my Nokia 5800XM. It has the latest software according to OVI although I have seen a slightly later release online. When an alarm sounds the phone seems to lock up. I can't stop or silence the alarm nor can I unlock the screen to do so. To stop the alarms I have to either switch the phone off or press the red button which snoozes the alarms for 10 mins.
How can I put an alarm for Mondays and Thursdays and another for Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays? When I input one new alarm it changes the days of the other at the weekly work days already chosen. It makes it impossible for me to put two different work weeks.
X6 Alarms, how do they work. I see it can take multiple alarms (one up on Blackberry), BUT how do you switch them off, or snooze? When the alarm goes off, a partly lit screen appaears with a STOP and SNOOZE button on the touch screen. Tapping either does nothing. Even unlocking the phone on the side slideer and then taping on these two tough screen button does nothing!. Only recourse is to click on the Red Telephone button, which seems to have the same effect as a snooze button. Still no idea how to actually switch it off, and tend to go into alarms and delete it or reset it to a prior time. Also do alarms that are set for "Weekdays" stay, or do you have to reset (re create) the alarm each time.
The mp3s wont show in the alarms menu if you have too low RAM or your memory card has corruption issues.If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks.
I'm rinning version firmware V50.0.005 and have just updated to the latest Ovi Sat-nav. Now when one of my alarms triggers it won't shut off. Pressing stop on the screen gets a response from the hand set (it vibrates) but the alarm just keeps on playing.
1) I cannot stop the alarms or reminders when phone is in lock state: When the handset is locked and I get a reminder tone for alarm/reminders, then the STOP and SNOOZE buttons on the screen are disabled. I have to snooze the alarm by pressing the red button on the handset, then unlock the mobile and wait for snooze time (also ensure that mobile is unlocked), and then press the STOP button on the screen. This is creating huge problem, because to stop any alarm or reminder, I have to wait till the snooze time with mobile unlocked.
2) Cannot turn my phone to silence during incoming call when mobile is in lock state: When I receive any call and if the mobile is in locked mode, I cannot make(rather silence button on screen is disabled) the ringing to silent. If the mobile is in unlocked mode, then any incoming call can be made silent by pressing the silence button on the screen. Again here i need to ensure that phone is in unlock state or use the start/stop button on the side of teh phone.......
I updated the 5800xm to the new firmware v40.0.005. Everything seems to work, except for a small irritation. There are some entries in my calendar and reminders are set.When a reminder is due, a window pops-up with audible alarm for the calendar entry.
To dismiss the reminder, I have to unlock the touchscreen and select from the 2 options (don't remember the exact names).But, after unlocking, the buttons don't respond.. The touch/tapping seems to be registered, but the alarm still persists.The only button that seems to be active is the Red one, which puts the alarm in 'snooze'.. and the alarm repeats every 5 minutes.
After the alarm is 'snoozed', the keyguard again goes to 'locked' state. Further unlocking and working on the phone works ok, except on the calendar reminder option..
In version 40, when receiving a call the old answer button was replaced by a sliding button. The same goes for the alarm. The old stop button was replaced with a new sliding stop button.I was in a call, the phone suddenly crashed and restarted. After that both sliding buttons don't appear when receing a call or when an alarm goes off.Is there any solution other than reinstalling the firmware update or hard resetting the phone?
I just got an X6 and was wondering if someone can answer the questions?I've tried settings memo's and meetings with alarms, however if the phone is switched off they don't alert me when I turn it on. Is there something I can change to do this? When I get a new message and the phone is locked the menu button light flashes. Is there a way to make the screen flash when a message comes in (even just once)?Can I get rid of the 'Add' icon on the front as it's in the middle of my other contacts?
I am trying to assign a ringtone to a contact on a E51 with latest firmware.When editing the contact, I select Options->Ringing tone, and then the only two selections available are "Download sounds" and "Default tone", even though I have many ringtones which show up when changing the ringtone for a profile.I thought this is something I had been able to do in the past.The only thing different now is that I have my contacts synchronized with a Mail for Exchange (3.0) account, could that be the problem?The same thing happens if I try to assign a ringtone to a group. How can I fix this so I can assign ringtones to specific contacts?
I've read the user guide (in Finnish) many times and have understood that it isn't possible to assign different ringtones for different persons/groups. This can't be right, I could do that even in my old Nokia (3110 or something like that). How to do that? At least there's got to be a 3rd party program for that available in Ovi.
I am Disappointed with my Meamo contact app, I want to assign an image to my contact file but it says not enough memory, it didn't specify why.I didn't have any problems with S60 third edition or other Symbian devices, the size of the photograph did not matter.It was a more difficult process to assign an image to a contact file with my N900, with my other S60 third & fifth edtion phone, only had to choose a picture from image & use image to assign to contact, has anyone experienced this problem? Where to find other "Contact apps" that is more user friendly?
I had assigned a photo to one of the persons in my contacts. It worked perfectly. After some time I decided to delete this and not to have any other photo assigned to this person, so deleted the same thru' Options-->Image--.Remove( in contacts). Still when I received or made a call to this no. the photo got displayed. Then I deleted this photo from the images folder on phone all together (it was in phone memory). Now there was no photo display during receiving - making calls to that particular person. After this I once again copied the same photo to its original Images folder. It again gets displayed during calls.. Though there is no thumbnail display against the person in contacts..
is it possible to assign for each contact which SIM card to use when making call? All I could find was just either set the default SIM for calls or ask every time which card to use. I have SIM where I can make free calls to particular numbers and second SIM for all other calls/sms/data and I don't want to select every time which SIM to use when making a call.
I tried to watch a video on msn page and when I clicked on it I got a message that my phone does not have a video format . How do I assign a format to this phone .
A setting from profiles "Alert for" which is used to vibrate and ring on only particular calls from group. But this setting gives vibrations to all calls no matter from which group the call is.
I just received my new Lumia 900 yesterday. Searched the forum for an answer, bot no luck. Question is,can the one assign contacts to the phone speed-dial as on previous phones (in my case Nokia E7).?
I've switched off - completely - both taskiller apps (which were shown to ignore the alarms) and still nothing. I got up at 11.45 because of that today, and very soon I'll be relying on alarms very much, and can't have this madness! I tried a market alarm too and no change.
In going to my clock and clicking the menu button on my phone then 'set alarm' I get no activity to set my alarms and currently stuck with it being on a 6:05 alarm that i cannot turn off. way to access the alarm settings?
I tried to find the answer and can't. I have my calander set to ring and it doesn't ring tone bbpro sanguine
vol 8 count 3 play sound always vibrate on vibrate w ring tone on notify during call no
reminder set to 15 minutes
show time busy recurrence none
blackberry storm 9530 verizon non enterprise.did I mess something up. In the alarm section itdoes the alrms when I hit try it. After that I hit save and then close.
I have some problems with the alarm clock. I opened two alarms. When I click on one to change it, another opens, and I have to go back and click on the desired alarm clock again. version of the android 2.3.4. please, check it. p.s. sorry for my bad English. I think, be to add support for Russian (I am not found).
