PhreeZone 20 #1 November 7, 2008 I just got a Pearl and I'm already seeing a lack of some things on the phone that I would like to get it to do. What software are you running on your phone that is worth the time/money to install it? I need something that will do repeated rings/tones if I miss a call or a priority 1 message, this is so i can throw the phone in my locker at the DZ and just by walking past it can know if something critical is going on. By default it looks like it will ring once and that is it. Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ifall 0 #2 November 7, 2008 I'd be interested in finding something that has repeating alerts for the Pearl as well. I just recently got a free one from a friend who didn't have much use for all the extras and have missed a couple urgent calls from work because it only rings once then just blinks. I'm a heavy sleeper so this would really help with those late night/early morning emergency calls. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eeneR 3 #3 November 7, 2008 The thing I found with the calls that you HAVE to wake up for is to use the most obnoxious ring tone you can find and set it to loud. I have in the past used "Alarm_HighAlert" at full blast (which is actually my daily alarm setting too). If need be set that ringer up as a custom ringer for specific numbers. As for the repeated beep, haven't found a way to do that either. As for software, at this point I have not found anything that I needed to put on the phone. I did download Handango, and tested a few apps but never ended up buying anything. I haven't had to many issues other then the need for an occasional reboot of the thing.She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ifall 0 #8 November 7, 2008 I use the tinkerbell tone as my backup alarm for mornings. The thing that gets me though is it goes off for one series then stops and when you take a look at the screen it is asking if you want to put in on snooze or disable. You would think it would just continue to go off until you hit snooze.Overall I am very happy with the Pearl though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #9 November 7, 2008 I found Blackberry Alerts for $13 that lets you set it to continue to ring every X minutes until you address the phone and you can set it to do that for Voicemail, missed calls, etc. Might try it and see how it goes.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawain 0 #14 November 12, 2008 Got nothing for you right now, and I was looking at the different profile settings on my BB 8800 and the only option for repeat notification was LED or nothing...You might find something worthwhile here: crackberry.com. I did a quick forum search and found this link to Blackberryforums.com: http://www.blackberryforums.com/754264-post869.html So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
