How to enable the Minutetone on the K700

Hello,

there is no way to enable the Minutetone on a K700. The only way to enable it at the moment is to send a AT command to the Handy. I wrote a little program which helps you to enable the minutetone on your K700.
What is the minutetone? The minutetone reminds you in long calls after every minute that a minute calltime is over. So it can help you to save money
After enabling the minutetone you got also a little *beep* at begining of a call to show that you can talk now. It's a little workaround for the 1sec "bug" in begining of a call.

Here you can download this little tool for free: http://k700.hitziger.net

Sorry for my bad english

Weird. All se fones had it at the sounds and alarm menu. K7 doesnt have it?

Not in the german firmware. I don't know if you can enable it directly on a english firmware.

Danke. How comes that it depends on the fw? Its a bit confusing for me. Any ideas? Mfg

It seems that only the menu for the minutetone is missing and menus can be hided from the firmware. Example: the friends option isn't shown on my K700 because there no provider in germany who support this feature.

not that I ever used it but my kong kong K700 doesn't have the minute minder either (nor my friends) and also minute minder is not mention in either my manual or the downloadable manual like it is for previous phones

Hmmm ... english firmware does'nt support the minutetone directly!? But the function is in the phone ... you can enable it and it's also in K700 AT Command reference of SE. But why did'nt SE implement a menu for the minutetone??? Weird ...

If you need the tone use my tool (easier) or a simple program like Hyperterminal which comes with windows (you have to send the AT command manually).

The pace is a lot faster now than back in -94 when my colleague worked temporarily at Ericsson in Lund
He tested battery performance in different conditions, like sun, heat and cold for 8 weeks *actually he was glad it was just for the summer*
Back in those days they released phones when they were ready to be released, not because the competitors were breathing down their neck..
Anyway I have now enabled minute minder on my 'K' (Thank you hitzi)
I wouldnt be surprised if the option to do so finds its way into the menu in upcoming FW-versions
