Audible missed call or text alert?

When I miss a call or a text is there a way to have an audible sound as a reminder instead of just a flashing LED light?

You would need to purchase some sort of third-party program for this. I believe there is one called BlackBerry Alerts that can do this.

  • Sound Notifications for Missed Calls and Text Messages

    Aside from the very small green light in the upper right corner (Bionic) - is there a way to get audio notifications for missed calls and texts?  I'm missing a lot of calls and texts because I'm not checking the screen constantly.  Thanks!

    I am not sure about the Bionic phone specifically but I am pretty sure there should be notification sounds.
    My phone, the Droid 2 global has ringtons, and notification sounds separately.
    Have you tried looking in the sound settings?

  • Re: Looking for an Audible Missed Call app - Lumia...

    Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum business, so if I've posted on the wrong thread, please accept my aologies. Can someone point me in the direction of an Audible Missed Call app please for my 520? I've looked all over t'intiweb, but can't find one listed for the Lumina 520. Thanks in anticipation.

    Hi, Beyondme. Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions. It seems that the app is not available in the Store. We suggest checking with the developer of the app to verify its compatibility with your phone's model, and if they plan to create a version for your Lumia 520. BTW, may we know the name of the publisher? Thanks.

  • Setting audible missed call/text reminder on 6600 ...

    Hi,
    I can't figure out out to set the audio/vibrate reminder for missed calls/texts on the 6600 slide.
    As it is now, every time I get out of the shower, or wake up or anything else, I have to take the phone out and physically check the screens to see if I've missed an important call or message.
    Also, since this phone doesn't vibrate very strongly, you can miss a text if you happen to be walking at the time. That's why I really need to find where in the menus you set the reminder tones on.
    Any hints?

    you should be able to customize your profile to notify you either with signal/chirp or via vibrate that it is coming. this is a s40 phone so i am not very familiar with that, but it is worth a try. let us know if this is what you were looking for
    That defines the alert when the message arrrives.
    What the OP wants is constant audible reminders after the fact so that the phone keeps on nagging you until you've read the messages or made anote of the missed calls.
    No Nokia does this TTBOMK.

  • Droid Turbo missing calls, delivering texts late, not capturing call history, not updating e-mails

    My wife got the Droid Turbo Ballistic Nylon just before Christmas as a replacement for her iPhone. She has been complaining that she is not getting calls, e-mails, text messages, voice mail messages. Last night, my son called her twice from California and there was no answer. Checking her phone there is no voice mail from him and her call history shows no attempts. I re-booted the phone and she suddenly got a flood of e-mails, call history, texts messages. She uses this for business and this is negatively impacting her buisness.
    This morning I did a test. I forwarded an e-mail from her phone to me and then I replied to that e-mail, which is set up as IMAP on all devices. I could see my reply on her PC but nothing her phone minutes later. This test is being done in my home with all devices on the same Wi-Fi network. I re-booted the phone into Safe Mode and the e-mail came through. I don't know if it was just the additional length of time or putting it into Safe Mode. Based on the number of issues with multiple applications (she also says she is losing contact information) I am beginning to think that this is a hardware or OS problem. Anybody have any ideas?

    I know that IMAP is sometimes set to auto-sync only every 15 min or more, according to default or user set amount of time.  When you rebooted, the phone auto-synced with the email server.  As far as missed calls and those not showing in logs, I'm not sure.  I can say this though, I was missing calls and voicemails and came to find out that the Advanced Calling HD Voice VoLTE updates had negatively impacted my phone's service.  I have since disabled and service is better.  Perhaps the Turbo also has HD calling enabled and is experiencing similar issues because of that.

  • Missing Calls and texts, seemingly at random. + Other problems.

    I just found out that my phone is not receiving many calls and texts, I figured it was just a slow couple of days.
    Several different numbers just get VM, some get through but don't ring and I get a beep an hour or so later and notification of a missed call. Some that couldn't get through go straight to VM or 25 seconds and drop or busy signal.
    I haven't received more than 2 text messages in the past two days which is quite out of the ordinary as that is how my friends and I communicate throughout the day.
    Just got off the phone with tech support and did all their stuff. At first I couldn't connect to their test line and the support couldn't call me, then a full reset and he could call me and I could connect so we figured it was solved.  Had one known problem number call again with the same result, so problem is not solved here at all.
    My calendar also wiped the other day without my command to, and then proceeded to sync back to my gmail and wipe that calendar as well. As one might assume this caused me some major problems with my business, work and school schedule.
    Last night I was having issues with sound, either my they couldn't hear me, or I couldn't hear them for about a half hour and a half dozen redials.
    This is already my second droid, I had to go through 3 of my last phone with Verizon and am to the point of just paying the fee to cancel because I have had nothing but trouble with them since the start. If there is not some solid answer to this problem, I guess it is time for me to be done with this company, because it's track record with me is very poor and getting worse as time goes on.

    I recommend doing a PRL Update.  You can do this by dialing *228 send and choosing option 2.

  • 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.

  • How can I increase the volume of my text alerts without increasing call volume??

    The alerts that are pre-programed on my phone for text alerts are very quiet.  When I turn the volume up so that I can hear them then my call volume is embarrassingly loud.  I have tried to get new tones in the store but they all seem to download to my ringtone - not text tones.  I have even purchased (from the Verizon store) tones that are for texts, but again, they download into my call ringtones.  Any suggestions would be great since I am a big texter and am getting very frustrated because of missing so many.

        @Halon,
    I know how you feel! Text messaging is my main means of communication so I use it all the time. I definitely don't want you missing any important text messages because you can't hear the alert.
    Keep in mind that the volume level will increase or decrease the same for both calls and text alerts. You may notice that the ring tones options for the text messages are not as loud as the ones for calls. Unfortunately, there is no way to increase the volume for the text alerts without increasing the volume for the call alerts as well.
    One thing you can try is turning in the Vibrate mode so the phone vibrates also when you receive a text messages. Visit http://vz.to/1aflRJ0 for steps.
    Keep me posted if you need further assistance.

  • 8330 Missed call alerts

    Anyone know of a program like Blackberry Alerts that will work with Verizon 8330 Curve? Handango says not compatible. I downloaded one off of handmark that seems pretty pointless.
    I am looking for audible missed call alerts.
    Thanks!

    Unless they show up on your online account, probably not. Not on the missed calls anyway. The sms should come through once you turn on your phone or get into coverage area.

  • Howdy all, anyone know how to not get a text alert while on a call ?

    Does anyone know how to set the iphone 4GS so that you don't get a text alert during calls? But when your not on a call the text alerts sound. Also can you use you music as a ringtone or caller id? Seems like every phone can do these options but iphones.

    There's no phone setting to silence alerts during phone calls.  You can suggest this to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Has anyone had issues with not hearing the text alerts on the iPhone 5?

    hello i have been having issues with my iphone 5 not hearing the text alert tones.it will go from time to time & only hear the vibrating sound, The wired part is all other alerts work fine , just text. 
    Has anyone having this same issue ? Also i noticed sometimes when i text, i'll see some crazy blury lines go across my screen like as i text it will move across any help?

    I have had that issue with no text alert sound and also with calls, no ring for the call but then I got a missed call or voicemail alert. Never had the blurry lines though. Right after I upgraded, the ring changed to a very short version of what I have selected and only rang once, other times not at all. This was a very big problem since I am working from my car most of the day and get a lot of calls and texts.  I did a reset with home button and button on the top as described in a post somewhere here on the forum and the problems stopped. So far so good. Give reset a try!

  • No Voicemail But Missed Call Text Alert

    Hi EE, I'm new to EE, previously I've been on Vodafone and O2.  With them I always had a feature where I revieved missed call text alerts when ever my phone was unavailable with no signals either in Underground Tube, Indoors or if the phone was swithced off without having to activate voicemail. Do you have anything similar or can you please provide such feature at your earliest.  Thanks.

    Yes, EE do have this, but I think you do need your voicemail enabled to allow this as the setting to switch this on or off is in the voicemail settings menus.

  • Unread texts / missed call alerts x3-02

    hi,
    Have not had a Nokia for over 10 years and am beginning to remember why...
    I have just bought an X3-02 and am missing so many text messages, not returning missed calls etc.  How can I programme this *** phone so that the phone rings every x minutes when I receive a text or a missed call? I'm often in meetings at work and unless I have my phone under my nose I don't see/hear a missed message. I've tried to download "remind me" from the Ovi store, but of course it's not compatible with my phone.  Please help, I'm going crazy trying to find a solution. This phone is going to finish at the bottom of a lake very soon if you can't help.

    Hi,
    With the option "Light effects" turned on, when I receive an SMS message, but I miss it first time around, the keyboard light slowly turns on and off. So if I leave my phone on my desk at work, when I come back, the lighting effects allow me to see if a message is there. I guess this also works for missed calls, but I haven't had any missed calls yet !
    Actually, I too was frustrated that there is no reminder option. But I find this method of reminding better. My phone doesn't beep now all the time I miss a message, which suits me better, as in the office I work in, that is annoying for everyone else.
    The lighting effects work for me, and I'm happy with the X3.

  • Missed call/SMS alert

    OK, am I the only one who can't believe that there is no missed call alert on the iPhone? Does anyone know of an application that might perform this very basic function?

    My wife and I just got an AT&T account with an iPhone 3g and a Nokia 6085. I'm not happy to read this thread. Our Motorola's with Verizon (we just switched to AT&T) had the continuous missed call alert - every 2 minutes they would beep if we missed a call, text message or voice mail. Until we opened the phone and acknowledged the message.
    I thought, Ok, I may be able to live without this 'cause I absolutely LOVE the GPS. So I thought I'll just call AT&T to get my wife's phone setup.
    Well, I just hung up after an hour. While very helpful and courteous, basically the final word was "people are looking at the screen more, you don't need that". She said she called Nokia for me and Nokia said that none of their newer phones have that feature. She also called one of their stores for me ('cause they work with these phones every day) and the answer was the same.
    That's ridiculous. Enough to make me think about going back to Verizon. I wonder if they'll tell me the same thing.

  • Text/missed call indicator icons no long showing

    This is a minor thing, but I prefer to have the area below the clock and above the list of icons to show me alerts such as that I have a text msg or a missed call or a voicemail.  It was doing this before but for some reason now all I get is the blinking red light but the alert icons are no longer showing up.
    I looked through the forums and couldnt find anything also tried to mess with settings but haven't come up with anything.
    Thanks if you can help.

    Emails and Texts will always have an audio and vibration (if turned on) cue when something comes in.  Text messages and toasts will turn on the phone to show you the message for a brief period same as the iPhone and any Andriod device.
    In regards to a notification light, no such thing in Windows Phone Nokia devices.
    All you have to do is turn on the phone and on the lock screen you should see your missed calls, emails and texts.  Toast messages will not be displayed on the lock screen.  We'll have to wait for Windows Phone 8.1 next month to get a notification center type interface.
