iPhone OS 3-still no repeat notifications

One thing I desperately need is for my phone to let me know when I have had a call and have voice mail or text message. The new settings for phone dont indicate any repeat notification setting and for text messaging the setting implies it will only repeat twice. On my Motorola it would notify indefinitely until I acknowledged it. With the iPhone I have to keep checking, after I come out of the shower, if I left it in another room, after a loud song on my iPod shuffle... its really lame that you cant configure this.Anyone have a solution (that doesnt involve jailbreaking)?Thanks! iPhone 3G 8GB iPhone OS 3.0

Missed Phone Call Alert Notice-Where it iPhone

Did a few searches, but did not find the answer I am looking for.. only found for MMS / SMS.When someone calls and I dont have my phone close enough to hear it ring, I dont know that someone called. I am forced to physically check the phone each time I a near it to see if I missed any calls. I missed an important biz call yesterday and a voicemail was sitting on my phone for 3 hours before I decided to make a call and noticed one was there.All my past phones will beep letting me know a call is missed. I can see where I can configure repeat notices for text messages, but not where to set it up for missed phone calls.Am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance. Dell Laptop 9300 Windows XP Pro

Anonymous Incoming Texts iPhone

Hello. If this has been covered in another forum please feel free to point me to it.That said, heres my issue:I have the new 3GS phone. Love it, of course.I am frequently at different clients offices.If I am at Client As office and Client B sends me a text, I want it to show up as New text (or something similar) and NOT show the Clients name or number as it is in my address book. Many of my clients enjoy the fact that I keep them to myself and not name-drop as to who they are. So, if my phone is on the desk near me, as it often is, and a text pops up, I would rather it not show Client A who Client B is.I went under settings and turned off the preview in the text Settings, but that does not do what I want.Is there a way or a hack even, to do what I want?Thanks for any help with this.-Jason MacBook 2.4 GHz Mac OS X (10.5.7)

We Want Custom text message received Sounds iPhone

The intention of this topic is to announce to Apple consumer interest in a feature that has long been absent on the iPhone: custom text message sounds. Cheap flip phones have had the feature for years, why doesnt the iPhone? Apple Discussions readers, if you are interested in custom text sounds on the iPhone, please submit an Enhancement Request on the Apple iPhone feedback website: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.htmlThe following is what I wrote in my Enhancement Request to Apple:I am a new iPhone 3GS owner and am generally pleased with my purchase. However, while the iPhone lets me customize my ringtone with songs from my iTunes library, I am limited to 6 choices for the text message received sounds. This is a problem because many of my friends have iPhones, and with the limited sound choices, I frequently mistake the text message sound from my friends phones for my own. At university, this circumstance occurs extremely frequently.My previous flip phone cost less then $50 and was capable of custom text message sounds. The fact that a $200 iPhone does not have this feature after 2 major hardware revisions and software updates is unacceptable to me.I feel so strongly about customizing my text message sounds, that I intend to jailbreak my iPhone exclusively to add custom text message sounds.Please add the ability to customize text message sounds. If not as an end-user feature, then at least as a Developer API.Thank you for your consideration,GregApple consumers pay top dollar for their products. We should not be forced to void our phones warranty to change a Beep sound to a Boop. Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.5.7) Self-Installed 320GB HD

Pre-set text Messaging Groups iPhone

Hi all,I know the iPhone saves in its text messaging history both text messages to individuals as well as to multiple people. However, Ive been looking for a way to reference a frequently used group of people (and an easy way to edit that group, if it should change) to send a text message to all those people instead of having to scroll through my text messaging history to find the exact recipient list I am looking for.A good analogy would be something like an email alias, but for text messaging.E.g. Say I have a group of friends that I always like to play basketball with - lets call them Ray, Bryan, David and Jeff (could be more, but just for examples sake. Id like to be able to enter an alias, like bball in the recipient area of the text message screen to send a message to each of those guys who would be part of that list, instead of scrolling through my history trying to find the last message I sent to Ray, Bryan, David and Jeff. And lets say that one of those friends moves out of the area, so I want to modify that group to just have Ray and Jeff. Currently, you cant modify mass text message recipient lists. Does that make sense?Are these things possible? Does anyone know of a solution? Will Apple add this seemingly easy-to-do feature soon?Any input would be great!Thanks,Davep.s. An even better but harder-to-do concept would be to carry that group text messaging all the way through - where responses to the original mass text message could have the option of being sent just to the sender or to the whole group, so that the whole group can be in on the conversation - like a chat group. 17" Unibody Macbook Pro, 24" iMac, iPhone 3GS iPhone OS 3.0

Receiving an MMS. Am i doing something wrong iPhone

Hey guys,Just wondering if anyone knows why the MMS feature does this (on my phone anyway).When i receive an MMS from someone who is saved in my contacts, i receive the MMS fine (text and photo), but their details show up as their phone number and not their name.If i dont recognise the number i have to go through my entire contacts until i find them.I then have to save the number the MMS was sent from (it includes Country Code) under their contact.Replying to their MMS goes direct to them, but when they reply back to me with an SMS, they appear twice in my messages box. One for the MMS and one for the SMS. Isnt there a way of just having it all combined?I hope i havent confused anyone. Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Application sync causes iTunes crash . iPhone 3G

With no particular reason when I sync iTunes would crash. No new apps or app updates. So I deleted apps off the phone, turned off app sync, etc. Still happened so I did a restore. That helped for a bit, I could at least get my music and podcasts to sync again. So I decided to download a few apps (previously purchased) and again it crashes upon sync even if I then turn off the app syncing. So another restore and all is well again.Deleted backups, removed apps. I thought it was a particular app so after restoring I will turn on JUST app syncing. No matter which apps are selected to sync, it ALWAYS crashes on the second app. So back to crashing again.Defiantly app related and I did do a quick search but no one seems to have this exact same issue.I have not restored and setup as new phone. Important text messages I can not afford to lose. But I am guessing that would be my next step. AL iMac Mac OS X (10.5.5)

iPhone 3G SMS Issues Post-3.0OS Upgrade

**Please note: I am trying to send just regular text messages, not picture text messages.**After updating my iPhone 3G to the 3.0OS, I noticed that my text messages started to get really flaky (i.e. could not send messages, only receive). I thought that Rogers (Canada) was having difficulties due to the iPhone 3.0OS and iPhone 3GS releases, so I waited patiently and thought this issue would resolve itself.I have spent over an hour and half on the phone with Rogers (Canada) representatives and the only thing they have done is told me to “Reset Network Settings.” Finally, after a lot of troubleshooting I have figured out what my problem is. Hopefully someone can shed some light on the situation.1) In order to send a text message to someone outside my area code, I MUST have no prior conversation with them stored on my iPhone. I can send unlimited SMSs to them, but as soon as they respond back, I cannot simply touch reply and respond to them. I have go into Messages, touch EDIT, then delete the entire conversation. This means I have to do this every time someone from outside my area code SMSs me. This is not only annoying, but defeats the whole purpose of the “conversation/chat” style of the iPhone.2) If I am outside my local area, then I must perform the above steps in order to send a message. I MUST have no prior conversations stored in my iPhone.3) Everything is fine and dandy for calls within my local calling area. No error messages.I am wondering if anyone has these problems as well. I did not experience any of these problems prior to upgrading to the 3.0OS. Any advice on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.***P.S. I have also tried manually typing in the phone number, by using both 10 digits and the “+1”-then area code. It doesn’t seem to make a difference what number I use, as soon as I get a message back I cannot respond to it unless I clear the conversation.Thanks! iPhone 3G iPhone OS 3.0

oldschool forwarding stopped working iPhone

Anyone else have this issue? Since they launched the 3.0 OS, AIM IM forwarding has ceased to work. Its been set up the same for 2 years through the original and 3G phone with no changes and worked fine until now. I put the new AIM app on the phone but it will only let you stay signed in for 24 hours and you also have to manually sign in and out of it otherwise you get duplicate IMs to your desktop and phone. Having to remember to sign in every day to keep yourself alive on the AIM network is also a pain. The old solution was very seamless and I really, really want to get that functionality back.
