Nokia 301 Feature Request: Missed calls/messages n...

Hi,
I just bought a Nokia 301 dual sim phone. I'm satisfied with it except one thing - IT DOESN"T HAVE MISSED CALLS/MESSAGES NOTIFICATION. How come such important and basic function not implemented? No one will check his phone regularly and there is no way to know wether I have missed calls or messages. It should keep making a beep until I read it. I believe this function could be implemented easily in software, even by polling the status at a constant interval or setting up a counter which issues interrupts. Any Nokia staff can answer this questtion?
Thanks.
Leonard

This is a feature which the majority of phone users do not want, and that's why Nokia phones have not done it since the early 2000s when Nokia phones used to beep the morse code for SMS.
There are two primary reasons why a person might not read a message at the time it comes in:
He didn't hear it, maybe he was in a noisy place and didn't hear or maybe the phone is in a different room.
He heard it but was prevented from reacting by other circumstances.
If you are away from your phone, there are visual cues when you get back to it that a message has come in. If you are walking down a busy street with your phone in your pocket, there is also in the vast majority of phones a vibrate option to give an alternative kind of notification. If you are driving a car responsibly on a journey of some length, it would becoming annoying after a while if your phone was beeping in your briefcase in the back of the car, or if you leave your phone on your desk at the office whilst you are elsewhere, the repeated beeping could be just as annoying to other people.

    Hello,
    If anyone know about below points available in current version the kindly reply the way.
    Feature request for next update.
    1. When I view sms it does not allow me to view previous or next using right or left navigation.  All the time I need to close current sms view and move down or up for previous or next sms and open it.
    2. Instead of adding "Sim Manager" bar, it can show on top of the screen network signal symbol like regular other mobile view.
    3. In Personalise view setting, add few more option to have quick access on front screen display.
    4. When we open menu, we need to navigate using up-down-right-left key, instead after opening menu we can have keypad shortcut from 0 to 9 atleast.
    5. For demo application, allow us access to remove once demo expired. This will freeup space.
    6. Wall paper for active screen is already available to user to customize but we can not change wall paper for manu and when locked.
    7. Mail application does not show bigger size mails.
    8. If we rename any video file extention to say from video.3gp to video.txt but still video player detect that video.  There is no way to hide any video or image or any file.  Need to have some way.

  • 6700 slide missed call & message alerts problem

    If there is a missed call or message when the keypad is locked I dont see any lights blinking or D-Pad lights blinking. Is there a way that phone gives us a alert on missed call or messages as how it is in 6700 classic (D-Pad lights blinking untill we take a look at the alert)
    Any suggestions
    Ferdin

    I've finally got an ap called Miss Calls Reminder - this is for missed calls and texts.  It is on the Ovi store.  You have to ID your phone etc., then it asks you to send to phone.  The problem is when you get a text with a link for the ap from Ovi and click on it it says it's not available for your model.  Instead go the webpage which is mentioned Tektronic - you will see the ap, download it to your pc.  It's not free - think it's around £4.00.  Once you've downloaded to your pc, then plug your phone in - can't remember what I did next - something to do with Nokia Application Installer on Nokia PC Suite.  Anyway you will see the logo - so transfer it from pc to phone.  Then you will have option for a trial or buy.  Took me three goes to buy it.  When you have it on your phone under menu, applications you then enable it and change the settings.  What a god send.  I nearly missed a really important job 'cos I didn't here text coming in and didn't check phone and had 5 minutes to accept the job.  So you can change the settings to get a visual reminder and an alert tone for calls and texts, or just texts.  You you can set it to say 15mins and then set the warning tone as long as you want.

  • Nokia Lumia 520 'Unknown' missed calls

    Hi there,
    I have two missed calls in my call history from 'Unknown'. I can't click on it to see if there was a number to respond to or anything. I want to know if it is possible to change any settings that would allow me to view the number or to respond to the 'unknown' contact in case it was something important. Please help

    I've had the same problem too, very annoying, and it seems to happen on all incoming calls if the phone number is not in my People directory - I doubt if all of these are blocking their numbers. Very frustrating as my clunky old Nokia dealt with missed calls beautifully - I could see them, and i could add them to my contacts.
    I am waiting for someone to "prank" me so that I can get their number but i now see that won't work.....

  • How to disable "slide to call" feature for missed calls from lock screen on ios7

    I realized that when the iphone (running iOS7) is locked, the“Slide to Call” allows anyone to make an outgoing call to the missed calls from a locked phone (with passcode).
    it is nice feature for people who don't care about locking their phone.but I believe there should be an option to disable the “slide to call” or at least require password before allowing the outgoing call to go through.
    This is a serious security issue.it should be user configurable.
    Hope Apple will take it seriously and release a update for the same.

    You can provide feedback to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Option to disable the "slide to call" feature for missed calls from lock screen

    I realized that when the iphone (running iOS5) is locked, the“Slide to Call” allows anyone to make an outgoing call to the missed calls from a locked phone (with passcode). This may allow malicious and unwanted calls to be made from a locked phone by anyone having access to the phone and defeats the purpose of having the phone locked by a passcode.
    Don't get me wrong, it is nice feature for people who don't care about locking their phone, but I believe there should be an option to disable the “slide to call” or at least require password before allowing the outgoing call to go through. 
    At this point the only option that I see is to disable the phone related notifications from lock screen, which prevents all phone related notifications to be displayed on lock screen (missed or voicemail). This is not a desired solution.....
    This is the first time in the history of iOSes, that a user can make outgoing calls from a locked phone with a passcode. Even the voice commands (for dialling a number) have option to be disabled on locked screen.
    I was wondering if anybody else feels the same way about this? or have a solution?

    I share the same feeling with you about this issue.
    Actually I was very surprised when I discovered that!
    In addition to this, when you actually slide a missed call, it calls the person and when you end the call, the notification of the missed call is still present! So that person can be called again and again and again.
    This is a serious issue that Apple has overlooked!
    Please secure the iOS 5.
    Thanks.

  • Voice message indicator not working and I am missing calls/messages that I didn't even know I had...OS 8.1.2

    Within the past week or two, I have missed a few phone calls.  Previously, the missed call and voice message indicator number would appear to alert me--now it does not.  Do I REALLY need to constantly call my own voice mail to see if I have a message?  Related, my message list is not appearing, either.  Voice message asks me to submit my password each time and this NEVER happened before.  iPhone 5S, OS 8.1.2

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Ringtones:
    Highlight the ringtone/s that won't play, menu key properties, see what format it's in, and the size of the file.
    If it didn't load correctly it probably is  some thing like o-4kb. Basically empty. Second look at the file type
     (.mp3 .mp4 etc). Check the chart below to make sure it's compatible with the BB. You can always highlight the item
    and delete it.
    Screen,
    Pull the battery out while the phone is still ON, leave it for a minute,
    Replace and let the device reboot 1-3 minutes. See if the message indicator returns.
    Here is a list of compatible audio types:

  • Feature request: record calls and messages on iPhone

    I'm trying to generate interest for some features I think should be introduced. What do you think of this one...
    The iPhone should be able to record calls and messages to save as an audio file on your computer. Aside from providing the ability to keep a personal archive of important or meaningful calls and messages, this introduces another revolutionary new feature:
    Imagine if every call you made on your phone was recorded automatically, so you could review what someone said even after hanging up the phone. Each call could be saved in a temporary location, and recordings could be saved permanently by clicking "Save" on the corresponding entry in the call log. This way, you wouldn't ever have to worry about forgetting what someone said, and you can forever save the memorable phone calls that impact your life. This feature would also be extremely useful for recording phone interviews for later review and transcription.
    This feature would likely be relatively easy to adopt, and would certainly be a revolutionary addition to a revolutionary device.

    Thanks, I already did give Apple feedback though. I was just posting it here to try to generate some more support for the idea. I'm new to the forum, so I'm not sure if this is an appropriate type of thing to post, so please let me know if it's generally not appreciated to put feature suggestions up for discussion.

  • BBM feature request: Blocking broadcast messages

    I've searched this forum and (surprisingly) not found any references to what is possibly the most annoying "feature" that RIM has introduced since I've owned a berry. By providing the broadcast function in the newer versions of Messenger, my berry is now subject to the same stupid, irrelevant, inane and/or unoriginal jokes/rumours/prayer request-type junk mail that I strenuously guard my email inbox against. However, while I can set up filters and rules to block such unwanted email messages, there are no such controls present in BBM and the only way to effectively counter repeat offenders is to delete them from your contact list, which is a sledgehammer vs nut solution, to say the least.
    In my list of contacts, there are certain individuals who regularly send out such broadcast messages and then there are others who are thoroughly irritated by them, like myself, but then compound the situation by sending out aggravated, ill-tempered broadcasts complaining about previous messages. When you have a couple hundred contacts, it really can get quite ridiculous at times on days when a popular joke or meme is making the rounds.
    So, I would like to request that the BBM dev team seriously investigate adding a "Block Broadcasts" option - ideally on a per-contact basis, but I would settle for an all-or-nothing solution as I'm willing to sacrifice the 1% of useful messages I get if it spares me the disruption of the other 99%. If my own contact list is anything to go by, I'm not the only one who would be hugely grateful for this to be implemented as swiftly as possible, or am I the only grinch in the building?
    Solved!

    Yes, I've started doing that lately as well, but it's not an ideal solution. Thank you for the email address; I'd been going through the site and trying to find the official feedback mechanism without success.

  • Nokia 6700 headset connected and call/message aler...

    Hi I am new to this so excuse any mistakes I make and hope this makes sense.
    When the Nokia 6700 has its in box headset attached new message/call alerts still come through phone speakers. I find this annoying as when sat in a public place don't want phone ringing when headset in but still want to hear alert through headset.  
    Is there anyway this can be switched off?
    Many thanks in advance Mark

    How stupid of me. To do this. Go to your enhancement settings then change the default profile to silent or edit one so that call and sms alert is just a beep then you'll avoid the drama

  • Nokia 2730 : notification of missing call

    Hello
    I have my new phone nokia 3730 since 2 days. But if I miss a call, after 30s, the screen goes black, and I have no alert to inform me. I have to push on a button to see if I have missed a call (of if I have received a SMS).
    Have you a solution (a configuration?) It is very annoying.
    Thank you

    Well in my s40 phone (similar OS to yours), when I enter the display settings, the menu reads
    wallpaper
    active standby
    standby font color
    navigation key icons
    notification details
    slide animation (my phone is a slider)
    screen saver
    power saver
    sleep mode
     font size
    operator logo
    cell info display
    They're next to each other.

  • Nokia 301 Dual SIM - Issues opening message folder...

    Nokia as a company should be ashamed of manufacturing a phone like this(irrespective of if this is a issue with software or handset or both). I bought this assuming Nokia is a robust stable phone (Already have S3, but need a dual sim compact phone).
    But lately i have been getting "Message storage memory not ready" when i try to open inbox or conversation folder (under 'Messages' menu). 
    Tried Hard Reset / Soft Reset and nothing worked. Restared the mobile and this did not work too (SIM Out, IN and Restart did work either) Couple of times after reset it worked fine. But after few minutes, it again showed up the same error message.
    This is no abuse, but for Rs. 5700 that i paid this problem is bull **bleep**ting. And i would not expect this kind of useless product from Nokia. 
    And the hand set (Hands Free) that came with this phone does not stay in my ears even for a minute, it keeps falling. 
    Be ashamed Nokia.
    Phone is still in warranty, not sure what i can do with the warranty as iam out of the country now.
    IAM NEVER EVER BUYING A NOKIA AGAIN.
    Any solution to this issue will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks guys

    TrueLies1,
    Warranty covers both parts and labour services that will be rendered to the phone. The device might get repaired or replaced with a new one depending on the evaluation made by the Care Point specialist.
    You may try to send the the phone along with its box to the Care Point for warranty validation purposes. You may also locate the nearest Nokia Care Point by accessing this page at nokia.ly/1oj1joQ.
    Good luck
