Cellular Phone Forum / Manufacturers / Ericsson / January 2004SE T610
I love my T610 however, i more than once i missed calls becaue i simply could not hear the ringtone... is this a fault with my particular phone or is it just the quality?? The other thing is the software is so disappointing, nokia bundles software that allows you to do basically EVERYTHING with your phone, you can backup SMS messages, MMS, profiles, etc....however, with SE all you get is the inadequate XTend software..it would be absolutely great if SE produced similar software to Nokia's.. Thirdly and finally, isn't the whole purpose of JAVA is to be platform independant and aren't all java programs supposed to work on all devices running the java virtual machine?? i believe this is true, then, why can't my phone run applications created for nokia phones and vice versa?? > I love my T610 however, i more than once i missed calls becaue i simply > could not hear the ringtone... is this a fault with my particular phone or [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > running the java virtual machine?? i believe this is true, then, why can't > my phone run applications created for nokia phones and vice versa?? I have a t610 as well. I find the more complex ringtones harder to hear then the simple "ring ring" I used on my old Nokia 3360. Also, the ring on the t610 gradually increases in volume instead of ringing at full volume immediately. I haven't figured out yet if this is optional. There are many ringtones to chose from though, so you may be able to find one that catches your attention better. Regarding software, have a look at Float's Mobile Agent (search google for a link). It is full of options and talks fine to my t610 via the IR port. Overall, I like the phone, but clearly it's not perfect. My main complaint is the screen can't be seen in bright outdoor light. smstextaddict.co.uk ) (smstextaddict co uk (remove _fishyknickers_ to reply) - 30 Jan 2004 12:09 GMT >I have a t610 as well.

Are we not getting confused with the standard ring/increasing tone "safety feature" here? Which naturally can't be turned off.

Float's Mobile Agent and bluetooth is -the- way to go for connection to your phone. As for the ringtone I use the old phone because its easy to hear and I've also changed the ring volume of the normal (default) profile to the highest setting. Signaturedan SCHEIN ? http://www.dschein.com > I love my T610 however, i more than once i missed calls becaue i simply > could not hear the ringtone... is this a fault with my particular phone or > is it just the quality?? It seems that Sony/Ericsson are afraid to make phones that ring loud. The monophonic ringers are louder, and different MIDI instruments/frequencies will be easier to hear than others. > The other thing is the software is so disappointing, nokia bundles software > that allows you to do basically EVERYTHING with your phone, you can backup > SMS messages, MMS, profiles, etc....however, with SE all you get is the > inadequate XTend software..it would be absolutely great if SE produced > similar software to Nokia's.. You can download more stuff from sonyericsson.com. It's NOT under the "fun and downloads section" (not on the US page anyway). Find your phone, go to the support tab, enter your local info, and then find "global support." smstextaddict.co.uk ) (smstextaddict co uk (remove _fishyknickers_ to reply) - 30 Jan 2004 12:10 GMT >> I love my T610 however, i more than once i missed calls becaue i simply >> could not hear the ringtone... is this a fault with my particular phone or [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >monophonic ringers are louder, and different MIDI instruments/frequencies >will be easier to hear than others. try digirain on full volume then ----- sms text addict? www.smstextaddict.co.uk ----- Actually, I prefer that the phone is not too loud, and I have it set t increasing volume.

The OP may well agree with you but might be is changing his profile to Outdoors where many people want a loud ringtone - it's *their* choice (or rather should be). The T610 is too low in ring volume & has an increasing ring which can't be turned off (over & above the Increase ring option). This is a safety feature to stop SE getting sued for damaging hearing - many phones have a separate speaker which would face away from the ear, so wouldn't matter if it went off loudly. Cordless landline phone manufactures were encouraged to sort this 15yrs ago & did so. Sometimes small phones are lacking worthwhile features. > When you miss a call, you just have to trust that somebody who wants > to talk to you will call again... And if the OP is a doctor on call, on standby duty, a taxi driver, a Salesman or has a randy ex-girlfriend desperately trying to call him? No, he doesn't have to suppose someone will call again.

Take that up with the game developers and Nokia. They use special Nokia extensions in their games, damming the portability of Java. SignatureBen M. ---------------- What are Software Patents for? To protect the small enterprise from bigger companies. What do Software Patents do? In its current form, they protect only companies with big legal departments as they: a.) Patent everything no matter how general b.) Sue everybody. Even if the patent can be argued invalid, small companies can ill-afford the typical $500k cost of a law-suit (not to mention years of harassment). Don't let them take away your right to program whatever you like. Make a stand on Software Patents before its too late.

Try a different ringtone, like Halloween or Theme to Excorcist. Most phones that have polyphonic ringtones are lower in volume than the older mono tones. |
