Hi all,
2 questions re. accessing voice mail and miss calls list on the hermes:
1) On my old phone (very old Sony Ericsson T100), there is a 'check voice mail' option in the menu that lets me quickly check my voice mails (ie. essentially a speed dial). And it looks like the phone automatically configured itself to work out the voice mail's number (from the SIM?) Can WM5 do this as well? I'd like to have the voice-mail option somewhere that's easily accessible, so I don't have to hunt through my contacts list for the number.
2) How do we find the list of miss calls? Again, on my old phone, I could simply go to the 'miss call' menu option to see the list of miss calls, and all the numbers on the list stay there until I expicitly clear the list. Does WM5 have this facility as well?
cheers

Hi
Regarding 2) Missed calls.
If you have current missed calls an icon appears on the task bar. Tapping this brings up a list of missed calls (if you choose view.)
Alternatively you can open phone with the green button go to menu and in call history missed ones appear with an exclamation mark.

Regarding voicemail, this may depend what you can set up with your provider. With O2 I have it set up to notify me with a text message and a link to call sender (i.e. voicemail).

Hi all
I am trying to use the Caller ID feature that allows you to choose to whom your caller id will be visible or not ( Settings - Phone - Services - Caller ID )
I enabled the option that phone provides CallerID only in numbers stored as contacts in phone
The problem is that when i dial through contacts it works perfectly but when i use the dialer to dial a Stored Contact this feature does not work
Any one can provide solution ?? cause is really annoying to use a stylus everytime i need to make a call
Dear friends,
I've got the X2 for 1 month, and updated to MR2 as soon as i got the phone. Been happy with the quicker response, and rarely freeze. But after upgrade i found flaws that make me dissapointed :
1. In the middle of conversation, usually i have shortcut to Notes, so i can make notes while talking. Now the button is gone, replaced by much less useful dialpad. More strange, now there are 2 identical "end call" button : one is big , in the center of panel, one is small at the bottom of the screen. This is ridiculous. The only way i can get to Notes is to press Windows logo, go to main menu, scroll to Notes and press the icon. Thats way too long.
2. In the contact menu, i can only register 1 mobile number, 2 work numbers and 2 home numbers. So if the contact has 2 mobile number, only 1 can be assigned as Mobile Number, the other must go to Work or Home. The problem : if we open the contact, the only option to send SMS is to Mobile Number, not from work or home, despite it is really a cellular number. Apparently the software think the Work and Home number as a landline number. This is stupid. The only way to send SMS to work/home number is go to message menu, and press "add recipient", and so on. Why can't they make it from contact menu??
3. If i got a calling from unknown number (not from a Contact), usually i want to save the new number as a new contact or add to exsting contact. But i cannot do the second thing. I go to call history, choose the number, press the menu key, and all i get is "add to contacts", and it only allow me to save the number as new contact, but cannot add to existing contact. very annoying! i have to write it down in the paper, just like old days
I don't know if the above flaws happen because of the upgrade, or this is the new Windows 6.5.3 habit?? My old Ipaq 912 with Windows 6.1 can do all the above mentioned.
I feel very dissapointed...hope you guys can give me feedback?
Thanks for reading
1. Notes when calling is not in the menu anymore, I'm not sure if it's every WM 6.5.3 device. You have to go through main menu.
2. Adding contact works great when you enable the prompt asking you to add the number to your contacts after finishing conversation. In this case you're able to also add it to existing one.
3. Every WM, also 6.1 supports only 1 mobile number.
However when you create sms from your messaging, you can send the sms to ANY number you want.
Thanks - and tips for LED problem
Thanks, appreciate your input. I have enabled the option to add number after conversation.
I personally think the Notes in calling mode, very useful. I have seen it in every new WM phones, including HTC and Samsung. Its pity they removed it on X2.
One more thing, about LED notification problem (which dont work when the phone enter standby mode /black screen), and the phone will not wake up when received SMS. I have simple solution, but there are sacrifices to made. here's how :
1. Disable the Auto Lock
2. In the backlight & power management menu, in the field "turn off backlight after....", fill 30 seconds or 1 minute, to save battery
in the field "turn off screen if not used for..." choose "never"
3. Dont' forget to set the illumination for SMS/MMS received as "no limit"; in the "sound and notification" menu.
4. (optional) Enable auto adjust backlight in the backlight & power management
Basically, we prebvent the phone to enter standy mode at all. This will reduce the battery life about 20%, but you will never miss a sms. Any sms will wake up the phone, the SMS sound will ring, the LED will light until you read the SMS.
Also, because the standby mode is connected to auto-lock, you cannot auto-lock the phone, that means you have to lock it manually everytime you finish use the phone. You can lock quicky by using SPB Shell, and create Lock shortcut in the front panel. Or in any mode, press "windows" logo on the left bottom, then you can see the lock button on the bottom screen.
Cheers!
Personally I've never had a problem with smses.
My previous OS never showed anything besides the icon and sound alert for sms. I never liked my sms appearing on the homescreen.
Current behaviour is that it plays a sound and doesn't wake the device up. So it doesn't activate in the pocket.
You just wake the device and see the sms icon anyway so missing sms is not such a case.
If you set the sms sound as a quite short file, it will always play a sound.
At least it does in my case.
Is there any way how to setup default dialer to start dialing contact when I tap on it?
When I tap contact it just put its number to dialer field and I have to press green button to actually call it - instead just calling it after selecting contact.
I have not found where I can set so even if I have my number hidden from my phone provider
it is always shown when I make a call.
Found this poorly translated instruction but it is for a standard Samsung phone.
Enable or disable the Show Number
You can disable the display of your number so it does not appear in the recipient when you make a call . You can also make a single call with hidden number . Your number is hidden only for calls , not when you send messages .
1 Find the "Hide ID "
Touch Phone .
Press the Menu key .
Tap Call settings.
Press the Additional Settings.
Please wait a moment while the current settings are retrieved.
Press the Caller ID .
Anyone?
