missed call notification

[cheapapples]

Recently got my hands on an XDA2, so you could say I am a newcomer to the world of the pocket pc.

One little gripe that I am hoping to sort out is the lack of notification when I have a missed call.

All that shows up is a small handset icon in the top navbar. Whereas all my other alerts display a speech bubble on the screen.

I have tried selecting 'display message on screen' from the notifications settings, but this doesn't change anything.

If anyone has any ideas how I can sort this out I would be grateful

Cheers.

try using MY|PHONE 1.4 plugin ... it's freeware

If you tap the missed call icon, it's supposed to display a notification bubble telling you how many calls you've missed. The bubble also shows a button that will open the Call History window where you can see your missed calls.

Thanks for your responses, i'm trying out Myphone now, I'll see how that goes, then consider hudsonmobile.

If you go into Settings, Notifications and Alerts I think it is, you can alter the behaviour of the diodes on the top to notify you of many things.

Doing this, you don't even need look at the screen etc to see if 'something has happened' such as a missed call, sms etc.

I've downloaded and installed myphone 1.4, but after installation nothing shows up on the programs or settings tab. And when I check the install directory through file explorer, there are no files in the myphone directory.

I am presuming that I have downloaded a duff file. Can anyone point me in the direction of download sites for this.

Cheers

I don't think so. I never used that software myself (which means I'm just guessing here), but iirc MyPhone is just a Today Screen plugin. This means, go to Start -> Settings -> Today-> Elements, and check that it's listed there and has a check mark next to it.

Note that the OS has a limit on the number of Today Screen plugins it will display simultaneously. So, if you installed too many, some will simply not be displayed on your Today Screen.

got it, cheers daniel.

located - start> settings> today> items>

Checked the MYPHONE box and it's on my today screen now.

Once on the today screen, it is possible to tap and hold for additional settings.


Thanks for your reply.
