GOwin Ok if you say so that i can agree BUT...
Then there is something missing there should be a timer to exit from reading sms screen.
If you look at it from your point of view it is not a bug. If you want to define the bug technically, it is the behavior of the application in any other way than intended. Now this is the argue point the programmers intention does not always match the users intention. Just name another brand of mobile that does not inform you about incoming messages at same situation.
And if this is the case of no disturb why it is ringing when a call comes in at the same point or why does it alert of sms while you are talking on the phone?
So according to software designers it is so important to read sms and not so important when you are on the phone talking?
What do you think?
To be honest my main problem is when you wake up in the night to read the sms you just left the t68 as is after reading the message if you do not bother to reply. When i wake up in the morning then i have 10 s of messages suddenly? You are right it does not disturb me....

On a Motorola V66 if you type a message and an incoming call is taken, you lose all you have typed. That's a bug. Most of the T68i stuff mentioned are just user interface features that are deliberately programmed into the firmware.
Keeping your NO button depressed even while the keypad is locked will turn your phone off. It's not unique, it happens to all T68i phones!
As for losing all your phone stored SMS messages when you change SIMs, that's just for protection of your data. If your phone is stolen, you disable the SIM through your operator - you then don't want the new 'owner' to view all your old personal messages and notes when they put in another SIM?

here's a real bug....
reply to a message in your inbox, select 'include this sms'. after the message is sent, go to another message in your inbox and reply to it, again, using 'include this sms'. notice that the message displayed was from the first message. |

correct, a time-out to close the an open message window would be a nice touch.
Even if i leave the message window open and my PC is one, i would still get the SMS (unless they got embedded objects) coz I use FMA with BT.  (I know it didnt directly resolve the question you posed.  ) |

But why have that implemented as a shut down, even in key lock mode? Almost as if the developer had no belief in the SW/HW, and thought it best to add this feature just in case it would hang.
It would be quite enough to have it shutting down by pressing NO, except when it's in key lock mode.
A bit like locking your front door, but just as a nice feature you can open the door without a key, by pressing the handle for a minute
I would believe the story about the sms:s, if it wasn't for the fact that the contacts and e-mails won't disappear when changing the sim.
Wouldn't the data stored in them be as valuable to protect the same way as your sms? |

T68i R2A014
If you choose to sms an iMelody, you'll end up in the iMelody list after you entered the mobile number! You'll have to exit the menu (press No) before the sms is sent. |

well...I am not certain whether the ability to turn off T68i with keypad locked is a bug or not. But what happened was i tried pressing the NO button for at least 10 secs with my keypad locked,nothing happens,it just asked me to unlock 1st. Tried pressing all other keys and nothing is accessible when it is locked (except for the status bar where i can see my battery life,the profile which i am using and GPRS connectivity).
My software is R2B old 1,any idea whether my software is buggy (due to not being to off it durng keylock) ?
Thanks |

this has been discussed before... it's not a bug, it's a feature
many Ericsson phones has the function to power off the phone even if the keylock is enabled by pressing and holding down the NO-button. |

The only "problem" I found when using my t68i is that when I input a new task and asks me to set a reminder I press the option button to choose a date from the clander (very useful tip found here in Esato) and instead of showing me the current date it starts from Jan 1st 2000. Very annoying as I have to go to the current date by pressing 9 twice and 6 8 times, as we are in August. This dosn't happen all the time but does happen, has anyone else ever experinced it? My phone is R2B025. Otherwise I LOVE this phone

oh my....pls try to understand what i meant in my post.....i was saying most if not all of the T68i can be off even when the keylock is on,but mine i cant off it without unlocking the keypad.So is my phone buggy?
BTW the question i posted was just out of curiousity since ppl confirmed that they can off it and i cant. It doesnt matter to me even if 'not being to off my phone during keylock' is a bug coz i wont wan that feature anyway. It just feels better getting to know our mobile phone and its software thoroughly, not to mention that the price we paid is for the ownership of the hardware and the software in that particular phone itself.
Anyway thanks for spending the time in replying my previous post although u dun get what i meant. |

Think it's just you. I have R2B aswell and I can turn it off by pressing and holding down the NO button whilst in keylock mode.

this function is like the alt ctr del on our com ..you have to hold on to the no for quite sometime before it i will turn off .. maybe you did not hold long enough ..

hi all
i guess it's a matter of personal preference ... i used to use a motorola unit and if a message arrives while i'm replying to another message, i get a prompt, asks me if i want to open it, and if i answer no and get back to the message i was replying, i loose my trail of thoughts. i'm use sms heavily so the feature t68i has is something i'm quite happy with.
i have some software bug(??) in my firmware. my erix also hangs while playing and my wap and data accounts gets reset everytime i turn my phone off. just wanted to confirm that it is indeed a bug. |
